Chapter 701 Everyone Had Arrived

Things kept on changing, but at least now Cain and Kali have time for each other.

Time soon flew by. Truthfully, there wasn't any time limit to the Heavenly Martial gathering. Only when a specific number of geniuses shows up would the 3rd layer begin.

Cain and Kali became absorbed in their talks. They haven't even noticed the time flying. But it was around this time that the duo suddenly stopped.

'Hm?' The sibling duo curled their brows. They casually glanced over at several divine lights blazing through the space.

Each and every one of these divine lights exuded terrifying power. They faintly surpassed the standards of Supreme Divine Laws. Inching very close to Dao law power.

"So, it seems they arrived." Kali causally smirked. She and Cain calmly waited.

And, as they expected, the great world geniuses quickly soared close to them.

The terrifying ray of crimson electricity was the fastest among the divine light. It soon stopped, manifesting into the beautiful form of Lord Hao.

She casually glanced between the dragon siblings. But her attention stayed mainly focused on Cain. "I'm glad you keep raising my expectations. You couldn't imagine how dull it gets where I live. An unknown challenge like you will be truly interesting!"

The wide, excited smile would terrorize weaker divine wills. But Cain calmly took in Lord Hao's eagerness to fight him. He couldn't deny his own anticipation for battle.

He smiled and said, "If there's a chance, then I await fighting you. But before warned, I would suggest that you use all that you have from the start. Otherwise, you wouldn't even have a chance to resist."

"Is that right?" Lord Hao wasn't put off by Cain's arrogance. She determinedly nodded, as if agreeing with his statement. "It would be foolish for anyone of us to underestimate you after you stepped on Death Long's bloodline pressure. Hehe~. Huang Cain, it will be a thrill!"

By this time, the other great world geniuses made their full appearances. The only one who had stepped forward to talk was Lord Hao. While the others kept their distance.

Though Cain could feel particularly intense eyes on him. One of them obviously being Death Long. His intense gaze was borderline rippling with killing intent.

Not that Cain minded his hostility in the slightest. He was fully prepared to truly stomp all over his dragon prestige this time.

The other set of gazes that did intrigue Cain came from three geniuses. These were the same three that Cain detected were so close together during the second layer.

His sweeping glance spotted that it was Lord Zhihao, Lord Hai, and Nether Devil.

It would be difficult for other cultivators to notice it. But Cain's Chaos Soul Sense could perceive their evident interest in him.

They believed they were subtly surveilling him. However, Cain could see right through the trio.

None of them caused Cain any concern. Each of them were half-step Primal Sovereign geniuses. But he was confident in taking anyone at this level, no matter their numbers.

Besides Lord Hao, Cain, and Kali weren't bothered by the other great world geniuses. They were able to resume their talk.

Time flew by and more and more geniuses made it to the 3rd layer.

Various high tier, peak tier, and quasi great world peak talents were all there. And numerous Divine Decree Lord masters. All of them were itching to put their skills to the test.

By this time, Cain became increasingly worried about the girls' well-being.

Quite a considerable amount of people had already flown in. And he didn't know what would be the drop-off point for the 3rd layer.

Thankfully, his worries didn't stay for long.

A bubbly, cheerful voice soon rippled into his mind. Gleaming dark lights soared straight at Cain's chest.

"Hahaha!! We made it! I almost thought we were going to lose lives a few times there."

The melodic voice of Yulong boomed in Cain's ears. She already had arms clutched around Cain's neck, completely content with public displays of affection.

Many turned their heads toward them. But neither Cain nor Yulong cared.

"It's good to see you too." Cain sighed in relief.

As he caressed Yulong's lush hair, he looked up to smile at Amber, Zexi, Lan Rui, and Jin Ya. "Great to see all of you. It seems fortune is on all of your sides."

"Heh. Fortune." Zexi mirthlessly chuckled. "You don't have to spare me, brother Cain. I'll bluntly admit that without some help from the items of the ancestors and elders, I would've long failed to get through."

"Mn. It was eye-opening to see me and the distance of other geniuses." Jin Ya seriously spoke with a contemplative expression.

Lan Rui was much calmer between the two. She slowly said, "I would call it enlightening. The road is long, certainly. But all the more intriguing to explore."

And it was at this time that Amber quietly sighed. "I'm coming to realize I'm more satisfied staying at home and studying Spirit energy laws. All of this is quite the heavy load."

Cain was still glad the girls made it either way. Besides, even with using external items, the only thing that is impossible to use is teleportation items to get through the layers.

Only those who can manipulate space or have a natural ability like Cain can teleport to their advantage.

Cain got comfortable in their rather large group, saying, "Well then, since we're all here, let's take a moment to relax..."

At the same time when Cain was chatting with the girls, a clear, envious expression was warping Lord Zhihao's face.

His fist almost clench, his tone strained while saying, "Damn...this bastard sure is lucky. All those women and they all practically defer to him as if he's the leader. Even his sister is only second best."

"My, what does it matter to you?" Lord Hai curled his lips. "Surely, someone at your talent can be just as popular, as long your curb that personality of yours."

"Hmph." Lord Zhihao coldly snorted. He was about to speak but suddenly paused at a pulse of divine energy.

Nether Devil's eyes gleamed with faint disdain as she spoke in a sound transmission. 'Stop focusing on worthless interactions. Soon enough, that guy is about to be either dead or working with us. The only thing that matters in the end is the final victor!'

'Yea, whatever.' Lord Zhihao couldn't really deny that point.

Both he and Lord Hai knew this would be the day many things would change once they completed their mission.

By this point, time streak by lightning quick.

Soon enough, 500 geniuses filled the third layer.

When the final genius had arrived, a golden light dazzled high in the sky.

'Hm?' Everyone looked up. Their Divine Senses are in wonder over the potent principles within the golden light.

An unfathomable pulse of power rippled throughout the atmosphere. The dazzling golden light imploded. Bursting out 500 streams of golden rays that soared straight into every genius's hands.

Cain and the girls were intrigued as they caressed a now golden badge within their palms.

Their intrigue came from the fact that these badges held a special sensation faintly familiar to their souls.

It wouldn't matter if anyone else picked it up. The badges will only stimulate if wielded by the right person.

When everyone received their own special badge, a pulse of unfathomable Dao power rippled throughout the atmosphere.

An ethereal voice boomed into everyone's minds.

'You all have passed the qualifying rounds of the Heavenly Martial Gathering. Now, in this layer, it is an opportunity for all. There will only be several full days to explore this layer and collect Dao Spring Peaches. Use whatever means you have. All of you will be teleported to a random location before starting.'
