The Chaos Dragon Prince

916  Lord Spirit's Decision

Saint Hero Qin narrowed her eyes on the kneeling gate guards, her analytical divine gaze seemingly right past their divine armors without any issue. After a second, she withdrew her gaze to stare at their Lord's Chuch. Her tone piqued curiosity as she said, "I hesitate to even say there were signs of battle. Those two are barely recovering from their injuries. And whatever force that swept through here had more than enough power to shatter the trees reinforced by the city's Dao runes. It appears your words weren't all just exaggeration Martial brother." Saint Hero Kong shrugged with a sigh. "As I said, it's best not to rely on your confidence for this. Still, no matter their prowess, those three are truly unruly to just break in such a brazen matter." "Indeed." The leading supreme elder's cold voice rippled into everyone's minds. "My impression of their minds is already negative if this is the first of their actions. The Lord's judgment of character leaves no room for error." As the other elders and the Saint Heros were about to talk, space suddenly rippled. A faint flash gleamed. Three divine auras intensely pulsated throughout the entire atmosphere. "Hm?" The supreme elders and the Saint Heros slightly tensed. What they identified were two Holy Kings and one Primal Sovereign aura. And yet, the density of their Law principles was effortlessly matching the realm of Heavenly Venerate! These were supreme divine auras unmatched by anyone below the Heavenly Venerate realm. Entire divine planets would burst apart by just being close. 'It's them...' The gate guards viciously shivered, their faces paling as what they detected was completely beyond their scope of power. At this time, three divine people slowly walked out of the faint flash. Three black-masked youths, rippling their momentum appeared before the Duke's Palace people. Despite being juniors far below their ages, the supreme elders and the Saint Heros couldn't sense any hesitation from the trio. They walked with unbound confidence unbefitting of their cultivation realm. "You three..." The leading supreme elder began to speak. However, right at that moment, an otherworldly voice, a godly voice that suppressed all Dao Laws boomed across the entire world. "Everyone, stay your hand." Not a single person dared to move when that godly voice suppressed everything. Gleaming Dao lights dazzled in the sky, shining rays more glorious than a sun star beamed everywhere. All looked on in utter awe as a godly spirit manifested into the divine world. The Dao lights cleared away to a supreme white spirit majestically floating above everyone else. The Lord Church's Duke Spirit had made his appearance, his indifferent expression making every single Heavenly Venerate on the scene tremble. "Lord Spirit!!" All Heavenly Venerates instantly kneeled down in utter reverence. Not a single had any other thoughts but prostrating to a figure far beyond them all. This was the godly Lord Spirit they all look up to, the figure who gives them a way of life, the one where they know how to develop their morals and live in prosperity. Not even a supreme Perfection Heavenly Venerate can look a Demi-God in the eyes. The Duke Spirit indifferently swept his gaze over everyone. His voice boomed into everyone's minds as he said, "These three will be the three special Saint Heroes of our Duke's Palace. I have already informed the other spirit ancestors of my decisions. And I will give them this." As the Duke Spirit spoke, he flicked out three shimmering rays of light. The rays of light hypnotize the Heavenly Venerate, none of them could take their eyes off them as they watched it flow into the three black-masked youths' hands. "Hm?" Cain, Kali, and Luo Na calmly accepted the rays of light. A refreshing warm feeling washed over them from just holding it. They curiously watched on as the lights condensed into exotic badges with Dao runes far beyond their comprehension. The Dao runes exuded a presence not a single divine person could ignore. "This!" The Heavenly Venerates locked their eyes onto these exotic badges, their minds trembling as a strong compulsion affected their souls. "Indeed. I am giving them the Duke's approval badge. If these three were to get rejected out of our Palace, all of us will know. Farewell." The Duke Spirit's words were orders none of them could refuse. He instantly vanished from the divine world, his presence and appearance stilly mystifying to all Heavenly Venerates. The Duke Palace Heavenly Venerates stayed silent for a moment. They all looked over at the masked trio with a different light swirling within their gazes. Previous feelings could not rise to this occasion. All of them were forced to accept things will be different now. The leading supreme elder flickered a slightly fearful gaze at their badges. Even the tiniest of Demi-God's essence within the badge unleashed a compulsion that affected his own divine will. Shaking his head, the leading supreme elder calmly said, "Since the Lord Spirit approves it and your own Laws are beyond anything I've seen before, we all honor to welcome the special Saint Heroes into our Palace. You can call me Elder Zhelan. If you have no other worries, we can return to the palace at this moment." Cain, Kali, and Luo Na shook their heads. As they put away their exotic badges, Cain said, "We can leave now." They pretty much threw Basilisk City to the back of their minds at this point. Even if they wanted to help, nothing much could be done as they had just entered the Duke's Palace. Elder Zhelan faintly smiled at the trio. He then waved his hand, engulfing the trio in his Dao essence which caused space to shatter open. A flash dazzled as he took them into the void space. The other high elders had various thoughts on the sudden change of events, but all of them were forced to hold their tongues. What their Lord Spirit says goes. Each of them simply vanished into the void space afterward. The only ones left behind were Saint Hero Kong and Saint Hero Qin. Their thoughts were in a greater chaotic state than the elders. Saint Hero Kong couldn't stop his mouth as he muttered, "Their skeletal bone age can't even be more than 40 or 35 year old...and they already achieve an equal level to Heavenly Venerate?" "It's...frustrating to say the least." Saint Hero Qin faintly clenched her palm. "Even the highest geniuses at the center of our region don't have a genius in the Heavenly Venerate realm at merely two hundred years old. Heavens, just where did these three come from? How can these three just be completely unknown?" "It's a mystery I'm still wondering. We recently sent out a ping to gain news from the central region, but we still got nothing back. I know news takes longer to reach...but still. Haah...no matter, we just need to keep a close eye on if we gain any news from the central region and those three." Saint Hero Kong calmed himself the longer he talked. Saint Hero Qin similarly used her soul power to quell her nerves. Both Saint Heroes never felt this much pressure from another youth despite having eight other rivals.

However, no matter how confusing everything is now, the Saint Heros knows their only option is to keep moving forward.

 ... The transportation means of Perfect Heavenly Venerate was quite terrifying. They traveled at speeds that were seemingly superior to even other divine spirit ships made for teleporting through the void space. At the very least, for tens of thousands of miles of distance, Perfection Heavenly Venerates have zero problems traversing in just a few minutes. The supreme difference in Dao power only made the trio feel that urgent need to increase their cultivation as soon as possible. Seconds passed until the trio's vision was soon engulfed with a dazzling white light.

Cain, Kali, and Luo Na came out of the void space to oversee and majestic, grand city spiraling across the entire land. The sheer length of the city couldn't be seen with their eyes or with their causal divine sense. It had to be over hundreds of thousands of miles in length, the space so expansive enough to easily fit in tens of millions of divine cultivators. An ever-presenting white light flowed through the sky, providing and comforting warmth that no other sun could possibly match up to. Majestic divine beasts continually fly beneath the white lights, the divine cultivators on their backs amplifying their grand presence by thousands of degrees. It was a divine city truly meant for the gods to dine in. Much better than anything from Basilik City. Cain, Kali, and Luo Na calmly took in the grand spectacle. Their divine senses heightened on the fact the source of Dao essence was extremely intense all across the city. Even top geniuses would see their Inner World absorption speed and comprehension speed enhance several times when cultivating here. This isn't even mentioning the numerous spots where specific independent realms can amplify the environment even more.
