The Chaos Dragon Prince

Master Tan kept his expression calm as he said, "As you can see young martial brother, the land here is completely barren. The reason being is that the ground is full of poisonous acid. It may seem simple to just fly over the poison. However, that will not solve this trap. It is required for us to walk down a specific trail to leave. We had only managed to figure this out partially by luck when one of us took an accidental step in a unique way."

"Is that right? Do you have any other indicators on how to proceed?" Cain curiously asked.

Master Su closed her eyes in response. Her Divine Sense stretched to its limits. She slowly said, "Out of the three of us here, I have the highest perception abilities. My Divine Senses can't really perceive much. But, I can just faintly detect that there are spots with a slightly different arrangement of Law source principles. That's the only clue we managed to figure out, even when we were with the Silver Sun Sect."

Cain and Lan Rui silently took in the information. Things seemed similarly suspicious to before.

Lan Rui mentally transmitted, 'Could this perhaps be another seeking the lowest amount of essence trial? This trap has a similar style. Choosing the wrong order grants us danger. The right choice provides us with safety.'

'Difference here is that the trap is most likely a one-shot kill. Poison Laws are among the most troublesome to deal with.' Cain furrowed his brows.

He had yet to fight a master with Poison Divine Laws. But, he read up on records detailing that the Laws of Poison are tricky to heal.

Poison can also largely affect one combat prowess. And the most powerful poison can instantly kill anything it touches!

Cain was sure not going to take any chances. The Holy King masters already know about his prowess in any case.

Thus, Cain began to say, "Everyone, give me a minute. I will map out the route out of here."

His eyes promptly close afterward. The Chaos Soul Sense hurled from his Spiritual Sea. It expanded at light speeds.

'The route out?' The silver falcon members intently gazed at Cain's back.

That kind of comment was supremely confident. He treated this trap as if this was but a simple task to him. A task that even other Holy King masters could not solve!

None of the Holy King masters dared to call him out on it. Cain has already more than proven why he's superior to them.

Silence soon spread. The silver falcon members didn't dare to disturb Cain's concentration.

Time slowly passed.

In mere minutes, Cain's perception detected a great oddity in the poisonous island.

There was for sure an abundance amount of Poison Law essence buried deep within the island. Some spots span for miles. Other spots withhold tremendous power fatal to any early Holy King masters!

But among everything, there was one unique trail. No other spots on this part of the island even came slightly close to resembling this trail.

As this unique trail contained zero Poison Law essence!

There wasn't a single speck of Poison Law. It was completely safe to walk along.

An obvious answer was seemingly presented to everyone. But Cain could understand why the Holy King masters were stumped. 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎

The surrounding Poison Law essence shrouded the unique trail. Various amount of complex principles make it impossible for even the above-average Spiritual Sea to pick out.

Studying the Poison Law essence would only cause one to become more confused. The complex principles stack ontop of each other. It accumulated to a point where the force is near-impossible to identify.

Even Cain realizes his own inferiority. He would just barely be able to detect the unique trail with his base abilities.

Only when Chaos energy principles and the black lightning fused into his Spiritual Sea, could he peer right past the complex Poison Law principles and pick out the unique trail.

Cain kept his eyes closed. His feet began to take steps forward. Every time his foot hit the ground, a vibration of Divine Laws rippled.

This wasn't a regular walk. He was literally manipulating the force of the universe to carry him forward.

"Huh?" The silver falcon member and even Lan Rui gradually open their eyes in shock.

The steps of Cain were completely mystical! Their eyes can see his leg moving. But they could not see where his leg ended up. By the time his leg landed, he was already taking another step.

Such a way of simply walking appeared so mysterious. How can something like this even be possible?

Everyone there could not understand it all. Their Divine Senses had also failed to tell them anything. The tricks of a Divine Mortal are seemingly never-ending.

The silver falcon members and Lan Rui internally sighed. None of them were even shocked when the route Cain walked on did not trigger any poisonous acid.

It was a mix of hope and a burning desire. The silver falcon members hoped Cain could get them across. While Lan Rui felt a fiery spark fuel her mind.

She had no hopes of catching Cain's shoulder. But she absolutely can't allow herself to be so ordinary while in his presence!

After a minute of walking, Cain suddenly stopped. He calmly told the others, "Follow my exact path, and do not take even a slight step off. This trail is very narrow to follow along."

Neither the silver falcon members nor Lan Rui held any disagreements. They walked exactly as Cain told them to.

The silver falcon members did not lack respect. They allowed Lan Rui to trail right in front of them.

With the group behind him, Cain continues to slowly walk. His eyes never once opened. And his steps were ever mysterious.

The unique trail had some twists and turns to take. There were slightly subtle shifts they needed to take. And at times, it nearly seemed like they were going in circles.

Minutes trickled by. Nothing seemed to be progressing. But there also wasn't any poisonous acid coming to take their lives. Thus, everyone stayed calm.

The minutes seemed to turn into hours. After a certain amount of time, everything just seemed to blend in together.

The endless mist would attack a cultivator's state of mind. No sign of progress and being surrounded by death traps would pull on a cultivator's Divine Will to stay calm.

Yet, nothing could disturb Cain. Some beads of sweat did flow down his face. Keeping the Chaos Soul Sense at the maximum focus was taking a toll even for his monstrous reverses.

But Cain's legs never stopped moving.

Just when it seem like the trail was endless, Cain's latest step caused a loud crack to ripple throughout the atmosphere. 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚

"Hm? We're already here?" The silver falcon members and Lan Rui were jolted by the loud crack. They reached in front of the gray mist before they even knew it!

And Cain had taken a step into the gray mist!

Before anyone could react, spiderweb cracks spread across this portion of the gray mist for several meters. Cracks continue to screech out.

The latest step of Cain unleashed a magical force. This force had managed to completely break open the gray mist!

It was all so magical. The gray mist continued to evaporate at a light-speed pace. In only seconds was a new portion of the island revealed to Cain's group.

"My lord! This trail had me tensed and riddled before. But now, it felt like we were strolling through some regular island..." Master Su slowly shook her head.

Afterward, she, Master Lim, and Tan all expressed their gratitude towards Cain. "We thank young martial brother for his kindness."

"It was no problem. We would need to get through this ourselves in any case." Cain casually waved them off.

His eyes then briefly swept through this part of the island. Everything had returned to having divine trees and long, lush bushes.

Cain mentally asked Lan Rui, 'So? Where is that compass pointing to next?'

Lan Rui took a moment to contemplate. Her head moved on its own. Nudging in one specific direction, she said, 'Down this way. I feel that we are getting closer.'

'Mn.' Cain internally nodded. Turning back over the silver falcon members, he noticed their slightly odd gazes.

The power gap may not be small at all. But in the end, each of them was Holy King master. Seniors who usually guide all the youngsters wanting to further their martial path.

Asking for help from a junior would be a bit awkward.

Cain could see through thoughts. Thus, he calmly asked, "What route will you three take? Perhaps we will end up on the same path."

The silver falcon members paused for a moment.

Master Tan's eyes flickered. They all held mixed emotions about receiving even more help from a Divine Mortal. And there was still the possibility of discord arising.

But he and the others were quick to recall just how easily Cain got through the acidic trap that stump them all.

'I say we just go with them. From the way that little girl moved her head, they're on the same path as us. More help is better than being confused or potentially dead.' Master Su threw out her opinion, her tone slightly hopeful.
