The Chaos Dragon Prince

"Yes, young master." The four stewards nodded, each of them also having high hopes for the future.

'There's that soul relic again.' Cain and Amber knitted their brows, focusing more on the soul relic than anything else they heard.

Those from the Iron Clad sect also wanted something called a soul relic. They seemed particularly eager to obtain it, even having the patience to ask seemingly ordinary Sacred Sage warriors for it.

Although Cain was sure that the Iron Clad group would've tried to capture them as slaves if they were really ordinary. That group of loose cultivators didn't have any sort of high morals at all.

At this point, Cain wished he could walk out and ask about the soul relic. Especially considering it seems as if it can shorten the time cultivating.

From what he can gather, reaching the Divine Star realm, even if you're greatly talented, can take at least a hundred, if not thousands, of years.

Having this time cut down to merely a few dozens of years would be an unimaginable speed.

Both Cain and Amber had a similar idea to Tian Lin. But they filled the soul relic for later and focused on trailing behind Tian Lin's group.

The couple was in luck while tailing the group. Their paths never required them to leave the forestry area.

Tian Lin's group never strayed from one direction, nor did they decide to use their greatest speed. Although, none of them were causal about traveling. Each of them had intent expressions as their Divine Senses were spread out far.

Cain and Amber correctly assumed that each of them was hoping to detect that so-called soul relic.

Compared to a mere Divine Origin's Divine Sense, a Divine Star expert's Divine Sense is thousands of times greater. The radius they can cover goes up to at least a thousand miles!

That's even greater than many mortal nation continents.

Furthermore, a Divine Star's Divine Sense is far more perceptive and sensitive to any traces of energies. After all, experts at these levels comprehended and mastered a larger portion of Heaven and Earth's Divine Essence and Divine Source Laws.

But even with these numerous advantages, these Divine Star experts couldn't detect anything that they wanted. They also couldn't detect the young couple closely following behind.

After numerous hours of traveling, the Tian group finally spotted an ordinary-looking cave on the horizon.

Tian Ling's face glowed with slight glee as he said, "Let's forget about the soul relic for a moment. My elder sister informed me that there is a slightly troublesome beast patrolling around here. This beast is the reason why the cave went unnoticed for so long."

The four older men already had their Divine Senses stretched out. It didn't take long for them to perceive a slightly threatening presence for their young master.

The leader of the four older men pinpointed his gaze in a specific direction and said, "It's just an ordinary Divine Star beast with a weak foundation. I will quickly take care of this."

Without wasting another breath, the leader acted.

At the same time, Cain and Amber felt their breathing hitched. They were about to witness a Divine Star expert fight!

Before their very eyes, the leader's body flickered out of sight. His speed reached frightening levels, leaving only a faint after-image behind.

The next moment, he reappeared several miles up in front. There barely was a ripple of energy or even a distortion of space. It was as if his speed alone could achieve instant teleportation.

'So fast!' Cain and Amber were already impressed. While still staying hidden in the forest, they quickly dashed forward to get a better vantage point.

Pouring qi energy into their eyes, the couple squinted, causing their gazes to reach just a mile ahead and to see the leader squaring off against a massive Vicious Dao beast.

The Dao beast was a fox-type of monster. It stood at an imposing towering height, its giant palms caused the ground to slightly dent in and its fur was black as the night.

​ A powerful Divine aura flowed out of the Dao beast. It wasn't like the four stewards. The Dao beast was recklessly gushing out the Divine energies within its beast core.

Even from a mile away, Cain and Amber could feel a heavyweight pressing down their shoulders just from this leakage of Divine aura. A Great Divine Sea oppressive might was a joke compared to this. It truly felt like they would instantly get crushed to bits if this beast were to focus its Divine aura on them.

This divide of power is the separation of Divine Qi and Divine Source Laws.

Each new realm of cultivation gives anyone far greater control over Divine Qi and Divine Source Laws, allowing them to draw out even greater strength!

Even for all of Cain's genius prowess, it pales in comparison to the Divine Qi and Divine Source Laws any Divine Star experts can utilize.

Compared to Cain and Amber's shock, the leading steward stood calm, almost indifferent to the Dao beast's oppressive might.

In fact, the fox beast appeared a bit timid. It bared its razor-sharp fangs and uttered low, meaning growls. And yet, the beast didn't come within 20 meters of the leader steward.

The beast couldn't accurately detect the steward's Divine aura, but it felt a tremendous sense of crisis. Death was right there, calmly standing before it.

The fear of death could make this savage, Vicious beast stay still.

But the moment the beast saw the leader steward raise his hand, it finally couldn't take it anymore.

The fox beast unleashed a keening cry, its Divine aura erupting to its very limit. Its massive jaws swung open and pools of blackish energy gathered within its mouth.

Its gathering of power heavily affected its surrounding. Meter-deep cracks began to split through the ground from the beast's power pressure. The air visibly trembled and space was heavily distorted.

Small black space tearing lines twist and turn all around the fox beast.

The power of any Divine Star expert, ordinary or not, could fully affect the tough environment of the God Galaxies. An environment that has natural World Source Laws is a hundred thousand times stronger than the Mortal realms.

Just the mere airwaves were nearly enough to knock Cain and Amber to their asses. The duo briefly glanced over to Tian Ling, only to see he was safely guarded by the other stewards.

At this time, the leader steward had already raised his hand. His Inner World power released, gushing out a frantic storm of his Divine aura. Gleaming fiery lights sparkled from the top of his palm.

The brightness was intense, enough to cause a stinging sensation within Cain's and Amber's eyes.

The fiery lights rapidly converged, forming into a small orange energy orb.

In that moment, Cain and Amber didn't care about the stinging within their eyes. They intently focused on the small orange energy orb and focused their Spirit Sense on its flow of energy.

Neither of them could detect its power or energy properties. But it was possible for them to sense how this higher level of Divine Qi flowed and its sensations.

As Cain studied the fiery orb, he saw it morphed into a particular star shape.

When the star shape form, a larger crack in space split right above the leader steward's head. His aura significantly increased and an immense power pressure smashed upon the fox beast's body.

This fire star orb shape caused Cain to suddenly recalled one of Shi Wei's lessons.

She had patiently explained, 'Little Cain, it will be some time before you can achieve the Divine Star step, but it is always good to know the future. When one reaches the Divine Star realm, the main source of their powers will come from their Dao Source Cores. These Cores are far superior to any Divine Source Law essence. As these Cores contain a greater portion of power from the Heavenly Daos! With the power of a Dao Core, a Divine Star expert should feasibly be invincible against all lower cultivation. The Laws they grasped would be enough effortlessly control everything weaker than them. Even within this realm, there are many Dao Source Cores with special abilities that manifest through their star orbs. It's very well possible that a weaker Divine Star expert can't even resist one move from a stronger expert...'

Cain slowly muttered to himself, 'So this is a Dao Source manifestation. This energy sensation is nearly overwhelming...'

In that moment, both Cain and Amber fell into a small trance. Their Spiritual Seas were slowly engraving the energy flow and sensations deep within them.

At this time, the leader steward's fire star orb pulsated and shot out a small fiery essence ray.

The Vicious Dao beast was already heavily suppressed by just the appearance of the star orb. It couldn't even finish gathering its attack before all of its movement was immensely slowed down.

Against the leader steward's causal attack, the fox beast was completely helpless. The power of the leader steward's Laws suppressed the fox beast to an overwhelming point.

There wasn't any colorful or bright explosion.

The fiery essence ray simply smacked upon the beast's head and instantly burst its entire massive body into raging flames!

The beast didn't even have a chance to cry out. It turned into ashes within a split second.
