Chapter 452 Next Level

To all onlookers, Cain and Jiang Ling's crossing glances only seemed like a fleeting moment.

But to these two great geniuses, numerous thoughts swirled through Jiang Ling's mind.

A neutral expression didn't betray any of Jiang Ling's thoughts. But his mind worked at a rapid pace, even greater than what Demon Tao had experienced. 'Even now, nobody knows a single thing about Lee's background. He isn't someone, anyone, even Lord Wen Dao can ignore. Is his bloodline divine-ranking? Does he have special innate powers? Or a powerful, hidden master? Either way, things are certainly changing.'

At the same time, Cain internally nodded over Jiang Ling. He had some praise in his heart. 'That faint pressure is fairly strong. His Divine Laws would be interesting to clash against.'

Two very different thoughts and mentalities. One that was fraught with hidden concerns while the other merely saw a nice sharpening stone.

When it seemed minutes passed, but only a few seconds passed, Jiang Ling was the first to change. His neutral expression shifted into a blooming smile that was welcoming and war.

He eagerly said, "And you would have to be Dao brother Lee, right? It really took far too long for us to meet together, but I'm glad we can finally do so now."

Before he replied, Cain's Chaos sense instantly spread out. He felt just a touch bit confused about this situation, but what he sensed nearly cleared everything up.

There are still high Elders around the battle arena but nobody had any intentions of stopping Jiang Ling's appearance. Even the Elders far stronger than Jiang Ling allowed his performance to take up the whole show.

Cain found it understandable when recalling the audience's wild reaction to Jiang Ling.

For a moment, Cain wonders if there were shadow Elders for Jiang Ling's protection specifically. But as he observed Jiang Ling more, Cain faintly realized that perhaps Jiang Ling had no need for hidden protectors.

A Holy Land great genius wasn't anything to scoff at. Cain had no choice but to acknowledge the threat Jiang Ling exuded.

His Divine Aura was incredibly reclusive, almost to a point where it felt like completely blended into the natural environment. It can confuse even cultivators on the same level into believing that Jiang Ling is at the cusp of the Divine Ruler realm.

But Cain could still detect that Jiang Ling's cultivation was equal to the Peak Stage Divine Star realm.

Within his Divine Aura, Jiang Ling's Divine Laws and Divine Qi contained more powerful and denser energy principles than any other genius he met before.

Since Jiang Ling is so impressive, just how much more would a Divine Decree Lord be? And for that matter, just what are the standards for their Heavenly Great World geniuses?

The geniuses Cain briefly met in the Thunderous Collision Realm were too fresh. They, similar to Cain, were only at the beginning of their cultivation journey. At the Divine Origin realm, they simply can't show off their outstanding potential.

But Cain didn't doubt that if anyone of the Heavenly Great World genius were to reach Jiang Ling's level, they would be dozens of times more terrifying.

As far as the first impression is concerned, Cain could admit that this Jiang Ling can leave a lasting impression.

With a faint smile, Cain respectfully greeted back, "So it is Dao brother Jiang Ling. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance as well."

"Ah, excellence, very excellence indeed." Jiang Ling's expression brightly lit up. He appeared more intently excited about this meeting than anything else he went for in the past.

Nudging his head towards the skies, Jiang Ling said, "Please, Dao brother Lee. If you and Lady Xun wouldn't mind, I would like to speak with you in private. Rest assured, we will stay in regular contact after this."

These words struck the Zhou Family members silly.

The nature of their society is to revere the powerful cultivators as the leaders of society, the great innovators, and the protector of the common people.

So it was only natural that everyone practically already forgot that Cain had just brutally murdered a prime Holy Land genius in cold blood.

Everyone was far more taken aback that Cain now has a special connection to a great genius under a Divine Decree Lord!

Nobody would dare to mess with either Cain or Amber before. But with this, many wanted to even curry favor with the marvelous duo.

Compared to everyone else reactions, Cain remained calmly subdued. His eyes glanced over to a specific point beside the battle stage, locking gazes with Amber.

Even at a great distance away, the duo nodded as if they could telepathically understand each other.

Turning back over to Jiang Ling, Cain faintly smiles, saying, "It's no problem to us. Lead the way, Dao brother."

Not wasting a second more, Jiang Ling took off into the skies.

Cain and Amber quickly flew up behind, easily keeping pace with a Divine Star cultivator's natural speed.

"Just like that, Sir Lee and Miss Xun already have a step into a high-tier Holy Land!"

"I thought it would come in the future, but to think it would immediately happen after Sir Lee killed a prime genius."

"He killed a genius without getting any consequences and further booster his reputation...how amazing..."

The rumbling noises from the audience briefly fell into Demon Tao's ears before he completely shut them out.

Unknown to everyone, his jaw clenched as eerie light glinted within his eyes. Without another word, he took off into the skies, vanishing from sight.

In the bloodline descendent section of the stadium, Zhou Ling's expression was overtly dark, while Zhou Ping had a satisfied smile.

At this point, Zhou Ping believed there really wasn't anything that Cain and Amber couldn't use to their major advantage. These geniuses have such a great destiny that it seems like nothing could halt their inevitable rise to the peak of society!

In that moment, Zhou Ping suddenly sensed his bloodline stimulate. He reached into his pocket, taking out a ring that had a unique rune symbol inscribed upon it.

At the same time, Zhou Ling took out the same ring, his expression worsening even more.

Zhou Ping brightly smiled, "Well then. It seems that royal father is summoning us for a very important meeting. Better not keep him waiting, right?"

Still, nothing came from Zhou Ling's mouth. His eyes lingered where Cain's group left, a strange light flashing within them. It was as if he was beginning to come to a sort of faint realization.

His tone was emotionless as he said, "These great changes that seem basically impossible to ever happen, do you honestly believe that it all will go smooth? That nothing huge will ever happen to us?"

Keeping his bright smile, Zhou Ping replied, "Do you really think I'm so easily swayed by just current glory? Obviously, I can sense there are some inner workings going on about this whole situation. But, I know my limit. That's the difference between you and me Ling. I know my cultivation won't achieve any type of success. So I will just stick with what I know and play my part properly."

"Oh? Is that right?" Zhou Ling's tone was dispassionate. "I'd rather be ambitious and fail than keep my head down like an ant."

"Maybe you have a point. But, at least I can live with an ease mind." Zhou Ping sighed with contentment. He didn't even look back as he confidently strolled out of the direct descendent section.

....

Like bustling wildfire, the battle of Cain's most recent duel crazily spread.

Whether it was inside the Zhou Family manor or across Sky Bless City, there wasn't a single person that can deny the potential and future of Cain.

The prowess to easily overcome a Divine Star genius and connections with a Divine Decree Lord?

It was inevitable that it will be the future of absolute destiny!

The cause of this bustling storm of news had already retreated from the outside world.

Inside Zhou Ping's faction, at Cain's private quarters.

At this moment, within his courtyard, continuous flashes of Draconic Lightning lit up the scenery.

The flashes of lightning didn't come out as randomly but in a consistent pattern, like it was completely controlled.

Cain stood calmly within the middle of the Draconic Lightning, his energy aura gleaming with fervent intensity. A more powerful presence exuded from his Draconic Lightning essence specifically.

Typically, the power of Draconic Lightning would be boosted by the level of Cain's base Lightning Laws. His Great Divine Sea would fuse into his Draconic Lightning essence, amplifying its density and thickness by thousands of times.

This time, however, Cain's Draconic Lightning gradually grew in power all on its own!

A couple of days have passed since Cain's duel with the Holy Land genius Du Hu.

After he and Amber had a brief meeting with Jiang Ling, detailing a future meeting and an exchange of contact rings, Cain went back to cultivating.

Cain and Amber did briefly spend pleasurable time together, but since the battle with Du Hu, there was a faint breakthrough sensation permeating Cain's Spiritual Sea.

This breakthrough couldn't be delay anymore. It will be a massive enhancement to his overall strength!
