The Chaos Dragon Prince

Only seconds after Kali's Dragon Charm activated, the Spirit Qi flowing into Cain became even faster. Rays of blue light began to illuminate the entire cave, creating a bright spectacle if anyone were to pass by.

Inside Cain's body, he had reached a critical juncture in his cultivation. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

In all of his muscles, dense Spirit Qi smoothly circulated all throughout it. Right now, Cain was rapidly approaching the borders on the limits he could fill his muscle with Spirit Qi.

Cain entirely focused up on this part. He let go of all distracting thoughts and pushed right through this weak invisible border!

'Ka-Cha!'

Cain heard a resounding shatter echoed out in his entire body.

At that moment, he felt all of his muscles become steel-like, and the power of his Spirit Qi rapidly soared to incredible new heights.

At power flowed through him, Cain felt tremendously invigorated. He felt as if he just bathed in the warm rays of sunlight, inscribing him with waves of energy he never felt before.

With this new level of power, Cain immediately recognized what had just occurred. In just mere minutes, he broke through to the third level of the Spirit Opening realm!

As of now, Cain had officially reached the peak of Early Spirit Opening.

On paper, this was a small level breakthrough that really shouldn't be worthy of mention.

However, the circumstances surrounding Cain's breakthrough would leave anyone, even the Dragons in Cain's Royal Family, utterly stunned. Even Cain was fully aware this swift breakthrough wasn't normal for the average cultivator or geniuses.

Typically an average cultivator in the Divine Plane or any God Galaxy can take months to breakthrough when starting out in the Spirit Opening realm.

Comprehending Spirit Qi and tempering one's muscles was a far more drawn-out process than Cain made it out to be.

Even geniuses across the God Galaxies need at least a week to achieve a single breakthrough in the Spirit Opening Realm. And when advancing through this realm, the estimated time one would take breaking through would only get longer.

Not even Cain's genius Dragon siblings could achieve a breakthrough merely within minutes!

It didn't matter at all if this was just the starting realm of cultivation; Cain's result would be unfathomable to others.

Although, Cain couldn't say this was all of his own Martial Talent.

Firstly, because he used the Chaotic Emerald to repair his 34 Main Qi Veins, Cain assumed Chaos Energy tremendously changed it in some way.

After all, Chaos Energy could perform feats such as instant teleportation and perfectly concealing his cultivation from legendary figures such as his powerful grandmother. Whatever exactly Chaos Energy is, it's a power that can break all common logic.

Adding on to incredibly powerful external resources, Cain also had his Dragon Charm.

Crafted by the pureblood essence of several Dragon Emperors and Empresses, amazing, groundbreaking results would only be expected.

Cain could guess that things will get far more complicated and arduous once he makes it past the first few beginning cultivation realms. But Cain wasn't going to stop his fast momentum for any pointless reasons.

In this merciless universe, a faster cultivation speed would give his life protection, and he didn't want to get chained up by any bottleneck, which would limit his freedom.

Thinking of all this, Cain decided to focus back on cultivation. He decided to achieve one more breakthrough and then wait for Kali to awaken from her cultivation state.

Because Cain already has an insanely high comprehension of Spirit Qi, he could expertly circulate Spirit Qi towards different parts of his body.

Now that all of his muscles were temper, Cain directed newly absorbed Spirit Qi into his tendons.

And just like with his muscles, Cain felt zero resistance in his mind and body. He also didn't feel any pain at all during this process.

For the Spirit Opening Realm, he's transforming his body from his ordinary mortal shell, laying out a firm, stable foundation for his future cultivation. Typically, any mortal body, no matter their inherited bloodline, would experience some sort of pain or discomfort when infusing with Spirit Qi.

But breaking the mold once again, all Cain could feel was a slight easy breeze.

In no time at all, the Spirit Qi infusing into his tendons morphed into his signature density of Qi energy.

Cain's cultivation speed was like an unstoppable snowball as he rapidly approached another critical juncture.

Fifty minutes passed by like the wind.

Even more Spirit Qi was flowing towards Cain, completely overshadowing the Spirit Qi flowing towards Kali. In just merely fifty minutes, Cain had once again reached the critical juncture for the next Spirit Opening level.

Clearing away all distracting thoughts once again, Cain vehemently pushed through the fragile invisible line separating him from the next level.

'Ka-Cha!'

Once again, Cain felt and heard a loud shattering resound within his mind and body.

This time, Cain's body had even slightly shaken as his Spirit Qi reached a new boundary in power.

Smooth like a stream of water, Cain reached the 4th level of the Spirit Opening Realm! He had taken his official step and became a Middle Spirit Opening cultivator!

As of now, his tendons were 40% full of his unique dense Spirit Qi energy. For the fifth level, his tendons would be 70% full, and at the sixth level, 100% of his will be filled with Spirit Qi.

Not even a full hour passed, and Cain already made two small breakthroughs within the Spirit Opening realm.

Such speed only filled Cain with immense confidence that their journey will be more than just a success.

The next time he goes back to his family, he and Kali will take everyone by utter surprise. Speaking of Kali, Cain awoke from his cultivation state and briefly opened his eyes to see her progress.

Surprised quickly flashed within his eyes as Cain realized his results may be more freaking than he initially thought.

While Kali had rays of blue light flowing towards her body, it was nowhere near as intense or fast as Cain's cultivation.

Furthermore, by using his Soul Senses, Cain could perceive that Kali was still at the second level of the Spirit Opening realm. Cain could see that her Dragon Charm had activated, but their results weren't identical at all.

'Even though we both went under the same process….our Martial Talent is still different. Well, either way, her cultivation speed should still surpass anything ever seen before.'

At this point, Cain could only wait for Kali to finish.

As much as he wanted to continue cultivation, Kali's words about having a firm cultivation foundation resounded inside Cain's mind. He knows he shouldn't become too hasty now and risk ruining something in the future.

Plus, Cain also felt a burning sensation coursed throughout his mind and body.

This sensation….Cain felt so overly excited from it. He could recognize it very clearly; this was a thirst for battle!

With his body crackling with power, Cain wanted to test his newfound strength on something, whether they were some vicious monster or some kind of human-like being.

For now, Cain calmed himself and patiently waited for Kali to finish her cultivation.

Five hours quickly snapped by.

Cain, who was calmly relaxing his mind for the duration of these five hours, suddenly sensed an influx of Spirit swirl right beside him.

Snapping his eyes back open, Cain could see that Kali finally reached a critical juncture. Spirit Qi was quickly flowing into her like a vapid vacuum, and her power was explosively increasing.

Then, seconds after five hours passed, Kali's Spirit Qi wholly transformed!

In that instance, Kali snapped her eyes open as a massive release of Spirit Qi burst from her body.

"Ahhh!! I feel so refreshed!"

Kali sighed a breath filled with power. Then, her gaze snapped right over to Cain as a broad grin etched across her entire face.

"And it seems like-wait….this is…."

Suddenly then, Kali's broad grin morphed into an intent-focused expression.

At that moment, her soul sense picked up on Spirit Qi more powerful than hers exuding from Cain!

"Cain! You-you broke through twice?! Within just hours?!"

A calm crossed Cain's lips. He briefly contemplated if he should give Kali the whole story but seeing her current reaction, agreeing with her would just be a more straightforward way.

He made a note to explain at another time and then said, "Indeed I did. Seems like my talent is better than I thought."

"I see….I see….this is just perfect! Alright, let's get up."

Kali readily accepted Cain's explanation. Since her brother could master Chaos Energy, she believed he could do more unimaginable feats than her.

And now, Kali knows it was time to see if their great cultivation results can carry over into combat. Even though they both haven't rested since leaving home, Cain and Kali were filled with energy.

With her blood excitedly pumping up, Kali swiftly stood up while feeling all of her joints crack with pure power.

Cain stood up at the same time, also feeling his joints pop with power. Stretching out their bodies while standing up, Cain and Kali never felt so powerful than before.

Inside both of them, their Dragon blood was roaring, itching for a fight.

"Ok, now that we experienced a small breakthrough, let's go out and stabilize our realms. I skipped two levels, and you skipped three without either of us stabilizing our levels. Plus, we need to adjust our powers and gain some real combat experiences."

Kali explained with a wide battle-hungry smile. Though she's making it out to seem like fighting was the only way to stabilize one's foundation, there are various other ways to achieve this.

However, experiencing multiple fights would commonly be the fastest way for average and genius cultivators alike to stabilize their level.

In the Spirit Opening realm, a cultivator's newly transformed body needs to adjust to every level of new power they achieve.

From tempering their muscles, infusing their tendons, and refining their Main Qi Veins, Spirit Qi needs to flow like a smooth stream of water. If one doesn't do this and just rapidly breakthroughs, their Spirit Qi becomes harder to control and can damage their bodies if they attempt to use it.

Furthermore, it would be impossible for a cultivator to breakthrough anymore with unstable Spirit Qi.

Knowing all of this, when Cain stimulated the Spirit Qi within his muscles and tendons, he actually didn't feel any improper imbalance.

In fact, he felt like his Spirit Qi was perfectly controllable.

However, Cain didn't raise any disagreement with Kali, wanting to go out and experience blood pumping combat himself.

With a similar battle-hungry smile, Cain said, "So what are we waiting for? Time to take our first steps on this Mortal Planet."

"Mn!" Kali eagerly nodded.

Then, she and Cain swiftly made their way to the cave entrance, both of them ready to make new legends on the Heaven Sky Planet.
