The Chaos Dragon Prince

The lightning mountain peak truly was a breathtaking sight for any and all Lightning affinity cultivators. People like Cain would find it more beautiful than the sun.

Continuous raging lightning rained down from the heavens, repeatedly striking the mountain peak with unrelenting fury. But though the lightning seems incomparably powerful, not a single mountain peak was broken or charred.

In fact, looking at the other mountain peaks with the special environments, no matter the energy source that covered the mountain peak, the mountain peaks' structure had never changed.

One could only wonder about the kind of divine materials these mountain peaks were made up of. Cain doubts that even a Holy King master can smash apart these special mountain peaks.

Turning his attention off from the distance, Cain surveyed what was around him.

The transmission array directly teleported him into a massively wide circular field that had various split roads. These split roads led onto a long journey towards the same special mountain peaks in the far distance.

When Cain first appeared, there were already several other disciples in groups thinking about which Law Field they wanted to travel down.

The groups of disciples were briefly stunned at Cain's appearance and then felt a small surge of anticipation. A person like this would inevitably cause a storm no matter the Law Field he chooses.

Compared to the common disciple on the outside, these diligent disciples had a bit more courage. Although not many were that daring to go straight up to Cain, they were seriously considering to bit the bullet and try.

However, only a few moments after Cain showed up, two young male disciples who were about to enter the Lightning Law Field carefully tread up to Cain.

These disciples were considerably high up on the Inner Ranking list. They both were Late Stage Divine Star geniuses with upper-tier prowess.

Typically, their confidence would be sky high. But against a monstrous freak like Cain, the duo knew who was the true dragon amongst men.

Still, the two young men did at least try to show a calm expression as they got close to Cain.

One of them cautiously spoke out loud. "Martial brother Lee? Have you come to a decision? If you want, we can provide any information on any one of these fields."

Cain swept his gaze over the two disciples. His calm black eyes seemed to carry an indescribable trace of pure dread.

Unknowingly, the two disciples shiver with just Cain's gaze alone.

In a calm tone, Cain asked, "I plan to enter the Lightning road. What can you inform me of it? And, what are your names?"

Seeing that Cain spoke in an even tone and without any trace of disdain or arrogance, the two disciples felt inspired.

The one who spoke first eagerly said, "My name is Zuo, and he's Buo. And as expected of Martial brother, the Lightning Law field will suit you perfectly. It is better to experience these fields first hand, but for the general overview, you will be traveling down this long road to eventually reach those distant mountain peaks. The farther you travel down the road, the denser and more complex the Lightning Source energy principles become. Passing a certain distance will bring you into a higher grade of the Law Field, which is where these better energy principles are."

"Oh? Because of this, I can already assume the competition will be intense. The higher the grade, the more restrictive the energy principles will become, leading to battles of who can stay inside each grade?" Cain threw out his thoughts.

Zuo and Buo were a bit stunned, but quickly nodded a moment after. Buo said, "Martial brother has good intuition. Indeed, with each higher grade, the better it is for fewer people to be there. The energy principles would be split with more people, which would then cause everyone's cultivation speed to slow down. I believe it's because there are less complex energy principles in higher grades. Speaking of it, there are five grades split across each Law Field. From mortal grade to Earth grade, Spirit grade, King grade, and then the highest, Heavenly Grade. Typically, mortal and Earth grade would have the highest rates of people. Spirit grade and King grade are only reserved for the high-ranking inner and core disciples. And as for the Heavenly Grade...well, those spots are only reserved for the absolute top-ranking core disciples!"

Cain's lips curled into a slight smirk. "The top-ranking, huh? So, who has been reigning the Lightning Law field?"

A trace of anticipation glinted in both Zuo's and Duo's eyes. Zuo quickly said, "That would have to be Senior Martial Brother Tuo and Senior Martial sister Wen. For the past few years, nobody could challenge their reign in the Lightning Law Field. Senior Martial Brother Tuo is ranked 5th among all Core disciples and Senior Martial Sister Wen is ranked 6th. There are more powerful core disciples than them. But, not even those Elder Martial siblings can say their Lightning Laws surpass those two! Thus, those Senior Martial siblings could stay in that grade field unhindered."

The surge for battle only amplified the more Cain listened in. Both Delan and Du Hu were certainly powerful, but they were nowhere close to the top ranking of core disciples.

Even though Cain made small progress in his cultivation, he hoped these Martial siblings would still provide a good challenge.

Cain probed one more time. "Just how are these disciples' battle history? From what I'm gathering, their control over Lightning Laws can even help them when contending against stronger foes if they have such mastery."

Zuo nodded with considerable reverence. "That's right. Martial Brother wouldn't know, but across the city, those two are known as the young Lightning Lords. Even in the Fire Star or Purple Radiance Holy Land, nobody in our generation would dare to say their understanding of Lightning Laws is superior. It's to a level that the Eldest Martial siblings need to treat them seriously."

"I see." Cain's tone was calm. While he never considered himself to be this ultimate master of Lightning Laws, he never once thought he'll lose out to someone in the generation.

With a faint smile, Cain started walking towards the Lightning Law field. He didn't look back, but he did say out loud, "Many thanks to Martial Brothers for providing this information."

"It's no problem Martial brother!" Both Zuo and Buo eagerly bowed their heads.

As Cain was just about to go through the Lightning Law Field, he suddenly stopped. His Divine Sense started to faintly pick up on the sensation of space being stirred around.

Somebody was using the transmission array to come here. Meaning, they had also surpassed the initial Law pressure.

The other disciples couldn't even sense space shifting around, so they went back to their own doing.

Cain had actually turned over and patiently waited. It was very faint, but the Divine Aura transferring through felt very familiar to him.

Seconds later, a beautiful maiden with an earnest-looking expression appeared at the center of the circle.

The earnest maiden didn't open her eyes as she appeared. She had actually gone into a meditative state right on the spot. Her stature went completely still as her Divine Sense communed into the atmosphere.

An Early Stage Divine Star genius wasn't anything to write home about. None of the other geniuses spared a second glance at this earnest maiden.

But Cain kept his attention square on her. A genuine smirk curled on his lips as honest appraisal crossed his eyes. 'Jin Ya been here as long as me, and it seems like she's adapting at a great pace. I can even sense her cultivation base slightly improved since yesterday.'

Hard work would pay off most of the time when Martial talent is slightly lacking.

Jin Ya's talent may even be lower than some of the Inner Ranking and Core Ranking disciples. Yet, she goes the extra distance in the correct way. Not overworking herself to damage her progress, but refining what she knows to great perfection.

Cain slowly sauntered over to Jin Ya and simply waited for Jin Ya to awaken.

As there were still other disciples out in the field, they were equally confused and curious about Cain's sudden interest.

The disciples curiously tossed their sights over Jin Ya, scanning her from top to bottom with their Divine Sense. What they perceived left them even more confused.

Conversations started to swirl all around.

"I don't get it, isn't it just some random Early Stage disciple? Her foundation isn't too shabby, but it's a dime a dozen here."

"Looking at her...say, isn't she one of the fresh new disciples? I vaguely remember her actually challenging a student being on a recorded ring."

"Ah, that's right! I believe her name is Jin Ya, and she actually controls a very high-grade energy source in her Inner World. On the outside, she made quite a name for herself across first-rate sects."

Though graded energy sources weren't uncommon, it was a bit of a rarity for a cultivator to smoothly fuse into their Inner World and exert expert control over it. That would take a reasonable amount of comprehension that was slightly above the average special.

However, just this couldn't be enough to arouse a talent like Cain's curiosity, right?

A few minutes later, Jin Ya finally started to stir. Her body trembled as her Divine Aura gradually grew calm. Her eyes slowly fluttered open and her first sight was that of Cain calmly gazing into her face.

There was an honest look of praise glossing his eyes. Compared to all other geniuses, he found genuine value in her arts of cultivation.

Jin Ya didn't become elated or eager. Only a calm smile blossomed on her face as a fiery determination glinted across her eyes. She slowly stood to her feet, showcasing zero strain in her movement.

She calmly said, "Martial brother Lee. I had a feeling you would be here, too. The initial Law pressure and the atmosphere were quite a surprise. I had some issues with it. But for you, of course, it would be effortless."

Cain lightly chuckled. "As I said, don't knock out your own hard work just yet. I can tell many other inner disciples wouldn't pass as smoothly as you."
