The Chaos Dragon Prince

Several hours have passed since Cain's duel.

The recording of his match spread around like wildfire. Nearly in the Zhou Family now knows just how really freakish Cain was and how much Zhou Ping's status will grow in the future.

Rumors spread that this Lee genius may have prowess equal to half-step Divine Star! To the outside world, everyone simply believes Cain is around 4th or 5th fallstage. Nobody could tell his true cultivation, but it is confirmed he is at least a decently high Divine Origin cultivator.

If he were to enter the Great Divine Sea realm, just how much more his combat prowess will grow?!

Some felt envy towards Cain, others were fearful, and many held great admiration and respect, but above all, no faction members were daring enough to even think of challenging Cain ever again.

His dominating performance created a certain sense of pressure. This sense of pressure had even extended over to the other faction members.

Neither the number one ranked faction, Zhou Pue nor the 2nd ranked, Zhou Lei, had any galls to put pressure on Zhou Ping's faction.

It was an unprecedented event in the entirety of the Zhou's descendent rankings.

Everyone also knew just how powerful Amber was and her zero hesitation to kill. She perfectly added to Cain's already terrifying reputation.

With these two on the field, wouldn't it be incomparably easy for them to take revenge for other faction members beaten or killed on Zhou Ping's side?

This was how Zhou Lei and Pue's faction members were able to stay safe for so long. Nobody wanted to face the wrath of their powerful members, thus, barely anyone would willingly challenge either 2nd or 1st ranked.

Now that another invincible below the Divine Star realm expert appeared, the same cycle of fear started for Zhou Ping's faction.

...

At this time, within Zhou Kei's hidden chambers, a particular scene is occurring.

A solemn expression engulfed Zhou Kei's face as he sat on his royal throne. Two special rings on his right hand were glowing, spewing out streams of energy.

One was a special recording ring that currently displayed Cain's duel with Lei Bi. While the other spewed out a stream of energy that took the form of a phantom person.

The phantom was of a beautiful woman whose eyes shined brightly at the display before her. Her clothes were distinctly unique. It was of a red-white mixed color luxurious robe that had specially designed clouds painted all over it.

Anyone would be able to recognize this robe from miles away.

This phantom of a woman belonged to the Cloudsea sect! One of the most powerful sects in the entirety of Sky Bless City and who also has a terrifying background.

Even just as a phantom, this woman still carried an unfathomable presence. The mere sliver of her phantom aura caused the air surrounding her to stilted.

Even though Zhou Kei was a Holy King, he felt honestly inferior to this phantom woman.

Although, despite the woman's terrifying presence, her expression was gentle and her lips curved into a beautiful smile. She watched the battle recording with great, honest intrigued.

Towards the end of the battle, she finally spoke up. "Family Master Zhou, this undeniable goes beyond all my expectations. Did you also detect it? That little girl's full strike would be enough to suppress the Laws of a half-step Divine Star expert and even threatened an ordinary Early Divine Star expert. However, this young man simply barreled through it all with his Lightning Laws. It's almost too mysterious that he has this kind of power while still being a Divine Origin warrior. Nothing like this has ever occurred in our Holy Land and this is very rare, even for the strongest of Heavenly Great Worlds. Truly fascinating..."

Zhou Kei slowly scrunched up his face as he listened in. He couldn't help but ask, "Elder Heng, has there been any correct news about Lee or Xun's background? Even after a full search, our family still came up with nothing."

"Ah, this..." Elder Heng slowly shook her head. "Even our Holy Land is helpless. We connected several Holy Intelligence networks, sharing their faces around, but nothing came up. It is indeed incredibly mysterious. Almost like they magically appear from thin air."

Pausing for a moment, Elder Heng thought it over and muttered, "Perhaps they have some unknown origin to peak High realms or even a Heavenly Great World? It's not uncommon for talents to be sent away as children because of a complicated birthright."

"As in, this could all be a test or some way to get rid of Lee or Xun?" Zhou Kei furrowed his brows in thought. "It would make some sense...Martial talent can only be cultivated through better resources and a perfect environment. But, even with that, their current talent is a little bit exaggerated for them to be simply sent away."

"Oh? You think so, huh? Well, remember this? From the Majestic Splendor Holy Land, Sovereign Zexi has a similar story. His parents were the Saint Elders of the sect and yet Sovereign Zexi was deemed with such a pitiful Martial talent that was thought to be impossible for him to ever cultivate. In shame, Sovereign Zexi was sent far away to fend for himself, or more accurately, waste away without anyone caring. But this same Sovereign Zexi made immense waves throughout the God Galaxies in only a few hundred years. He was and still herald as a powerful King-level genius. There are also more examples just like this one. The current possibility isn't so terribly low."

Zhou Kei was inclined to believe this possibility. He had even lived through the generation that Sovereign Zexi grew up in. However, an event like that occurred hundreds of thousands of years ago! The possibility is still too small no matter how you look at it.

As more thoughts emerged in Zhou Kei's mind, one startling one stuck out to him the most.

"This...Elder Heng, what if, instead of being discarded children, is it possible that these two are perhaps masters in disguise? These types of aura-changing arts are far rarer than most, but there do exist arts where one can mask their original face and aura." Zhou Kei asked with suspicions.

This has been a topic on his mind ever since the duo first arrived. Sure, the population across the God Galaxies may be a possibly infinite amount.

However, just how many geniuses that can stand above even other king-level geniuses?

Truthfully, there were only a very select few selections of people out of the countless that are just barely close to Cain's level of talent.

Sovereign Zexi, while immensely talented, never showcased prowess nor Law comprehension on the same level as Cain at his age. But, it was at least more understandable for Sovereign Zexi talent to exist as King-level geniuses are a bit more common than Emperor-level ones.

For not only one but two Emperor-level geniuses to go unaccounted for a long time is far too questionable.

Thus, it was only natural for Zhou Kei's and many others' suspicions to grow.

Even Elder Heng wasn't spared from these doubts. She carefully pondered it over before simply shrugging. "That's just a very and I mean very small possibility of that being the case. Even more so than them being discarded geniuses. Arts that can change the body and aura are extremely unstable. Most of the arts can't even surpass 2nd-grade Heavenly level. If these two were using aura arts, even a Divine Ruler would be able to identify the difference. Using a considerable amount of power would revert them back to their original forms. At this point, we just need to accept that things like this, no matter how extraordinary, can happen in our boundless Heaven."

"I see. Then, what does Lord Wen Dao think of them? Is his attention still on them?" Zhou Kei's tone held a hint of reverence at the mere mention of that Divine Decree Lord.

"Oh, for sure, Lord Wen Dao is fully aware and is greatly pleased with the duo. Recently, Lord Wen Dao has expressed an urgent need to gather immense talents and powerful allies. Lee and Xun will make for more than fine partners. Even without this, these two would simply pass or sect's entrance exams. Still, recruiting these two here is already great service." Elder Heng's words caused a wave of relief to pass through Zhou Kei.

But before he could reply, Elder Heng's expression suddenly jolted, her eyes sparkling up. "Oh! It appears I have some business to take care of. We will be making contact again very soon, Zhou Family Master."

Not wasting a second longer, the Elder Heng's phantom vanished.

Zhou Kei was left all alone with just his various thoughts. His expression still couldn't hide a faint sense of suspicion.

Even with the various benefits pilling up for finding Cain and Amber, there was still something off-putting about them that he couldn't place his finger on. As if these two full abilities were far from what they're currently showing.

But with no accurate references to go off from, Zhou Kei had no choice but to silently wait, keeping an intent eye on the duo.
