Chapter 594 Flames Of Despair

Thoughts flowed through Lan Rui's mind. There were very limited things she could actually tell. But in the end, she chose to say, "It's a long-running issue with my master. A long time ago, her cultivation and life force have been permanently damaged when she went on an expedition with other grandmasters. This injury crippled her life force. From what I read, even the lowest of Primal Soverigen grandmasters of at least 20 million years. After that incident, my master's lifespan continues to decrease with each passing day. I deduce she only has a few hundreds of years left her in."

"I wanted so long to know the way to cure this injury. But the only way to reverse the effect was through the power of Life Laws. And I don't think I need to explain how rare Life Laws are. They're almost on the same level as soul cultivation arts."

Cain was silent in agreement. Soul cultivation art is much talked about simply because of the powerful effects it could potentially have on even high-level cultivation masters.

But Life Laws are by no means far inferior. It could be counted as the number one healing method across the God Galaxy!

However, Life Laws had a similar problem as soul cultivation art. It was rare to find a Life cultivation art. And rare to encounter a cultivator with Life Laws. Even the Heavenly Great Worlds barely have Life Laws experts.

Just thinking about this got Cain's thoughts to churn. He could see why Lan Rui acted without hesitation.

Lan Rui continued to speak. "Without the possibility of a Life Law expert, I can only seek out resources. But the only for sure resource that would work is the life-vein root. For dozens of years, nobody, not even our ancestors, could locate the life-vein root, until now. I am unable to tell martial brother more, but please trust me. I have the way to accurately discover a life-vein root."

Listening to Lan Rui only increased Cain's questions. There were numerous aspect he wanted to understand more about. This whole situation nearly seems like some sort of conspiracy.

The incidents are just lining up too well to not be mere coincidences. Especially the fact that this all happened after he made himself known from the Starry Earth Realm.

However, the desperate look on Lan Rui's face softens his heart. He simply asked, "Just what is this method you speak of?"

Lan Rui was quick to take out the life-vein root compass. Its green glow shimmered in the skies. Even when holding the compass now, Lan Rui's gaze was full of hope.

Cain, on the other hand, slightly narrowed his eyes. His soul didn't feel threatened. Nor did his Divine Sense detect any semblance of danger. It was just a bit odd. As if it was something familiar within the compass?

Cain could certainly detect the potent trace of Life Laws within it. But that wasn't necessarily causing the strange familiar sensation. He could bring up this slight oddity. Yet, in the end, since it didn't pose any damage, he decided against it.

Cain simply kept this thought to the back of his mind for now and decided to go along with Lan Rui's flow for now. There would be plenty of time to investigate when they're on their own.

Cain nodded, saying, "So it's this, huh? And I'm assuming since you can't have much detail, this news has to be contained as much as possible. So, it will only be a trip for the two of us, huh? Speaking off, I'm fairly surprised you decided to trust me so much with a secret like this."

"I don't mean to come off as blunt martial brother, but your character is most certainly honorary. You always take the time to guide and help us with our cultivation. Furthermore, even though it wasn't necessary, you still went out of your way for us to reach the starry platform. I could only reach the middle stage so quickly because of you. You even offended other Divine Decree Lord for us. I can trust no else but martial brother with this favor."

Lan Rui spoke out her honest feelings. Her gaze stared straight into Cain's eyes. Never had she felt so enamored. But her soul was saying this was right. Nothing about it was unnatural.

"Alright, alright. No need to get so formal again." Cain casually waved it off. "So? When do you want to leave?"

"As soon as possible really. But I don't want to inconvenience you." Lan Rui's tone was a bit tentative.

Cain's lips curled into a smirk. "Then we'll leave tomorrow. Get everything prepared by then. I've been meaning to go out and stretch my legs anyway."

"Understood, martial brother!" Lan Rui couldn't suppress all of her excitement. There really was a faint light at the end of the tunnel!

Her martial brother really is a figure who continually produced miracles. Perhaps there really is a chance that her master's illness can be cured once and for all.

...

At a random region on the Wintry World.

Different regions across the world would tend to be serene and safe. Very rarely would there be some kind of natural disaster destroying golden cities and other kinds of sects.

But at this moment, that kind of hellish scenery swept through the land.

It was on top of a celestial mountain the size of a giant country. A sea of insidious, rampaging fiery lights covered a massive mansion at the top of the celestial mountain.

The heat and power exuding from the sea of flames were completely terrifying. Just a small sliver of flames could annihilate large chucks of mortal planets!

Its principles within had transcended to a level Divine Rulers can only look up to. The Supreme Divine Laws can grasp anyone's neck like a grim reaper scythe.

Countless would choke and fall to their knees. They would suppress down to their very cores. As these were Laws that the universe had difficulty containing!

And it wasn't as if those experts inside the mansion were weak. There were quite a number of half-step Holy King and even full-fledged Holy King masters!

And yet, every single one of them couldn't survive the horrifying onslaught of this holy fire.

This fire raged on as if it wanted to incinerate the heaven and earth itself. This was the harrowing might of Supreme Fire Divine Laws!

Countless cultivators across the celestial mountain were heavily affected by this merciless destruction.

Many collapse to their knees, fear engulfing their minds. Some began crying to the skies.

"It's-it's over! It really is over! Nothing can save us now..."

"Damnit...is this really how I die? As just some slave?"

"If only...if only I was stronger..."

Above the chaos and destruction, floating valiantly in the skies, was an unfathomable black robe expert.

This man's entire presence vibrated the Laws of Fire. He was an existence birth from flames that can melt other flames. Mortal planets would tremble just by this man's presence.

He was not just a Holy King master, but a powerful talent who stands above other early stage Holy King masters!

It was clearly evident. Not just by the sea of flames raging across the celestial mountain. But also from two humans currently clenched in his palms.

These two pale face man looked utterly feeble and weak. Their lives hung on a thread.

Under normal circumstances, these two would revere existence anywhere they go. All would have no choice but to bow their heads at them. They were Holy King masters!

But despite being fellow Holy Kings, they were no match for this talented Holy King. The power disparity was just too wide. Even for being in the same realm.

At this moment, the talented Holy King looked at his handiwork with a satisfied expression. He took one glance at the worthless Holy King in his palms, enjoying the looks of fear and hatred in their eyes.

A thought streaked into the talented Holy King's mind. He suddenly used a contact ring through his Divine Sense but had spoken out loud while mentally transmitting, "Everything done here. Bao, you can start plundering for everything this tiny sect is worth. And make sure to properly prepare the women."

'Yes, Master Kong!' An excited voice replied as the line went dead.

That declaration made the pale face men faintly tremble. Their bodies would actually be shaking in unending rage!

However, under Master Kong's suppression, they were helpless children. All they could do was look in a mix of despair. Such power was at their fingertips. Yet, it was all destroyed within a few moments...

Master Kong took in delight in their despairing expression. Moments like this really do give him a certain bliss.

Without wasting any more words, Master Kong's palms radiated sky-splitting Fire Laws. He clenched down, causing his powerful Fire Laws to spread across the Holy King's master bodies.

Neither of them even had a chance to scream. They were instantly incinerated into ashes. Not even their souls could escape the fiery inferno.

Master Kong let out a pleasant sigh.
