Chapter 252 - Illusion Killing Array
After only a few minutes of walking, it didn't take long for Huang Dai and Xun to lead Cain's group towards their training room.
It was located behind tall, black-colored doors decorated with markings Cain had never seen before.
And after taking a step inside, Cain, Kali, and Amber felt the power of space slightly wash over them, shifting around their senses.
Neither of them was even the tiniest bit surprised, recognizing this occurrence as walking into a separate dimensional realm.
As Cain, Kali and Amber blinked, the scenery had already changed.
Now, they were in a relatively smaller size chamber. At the center of the room, there are several tall, black stone pillars, all decorated with the same strange markings Cain's group saw on the door.
Although the markings here looked more pronounced and grand, as if they were carved from the most beautiful of jade stones. And at the tip of these stone pillars were carvings of exquisite Dragons.
These Dragons Pillars were set up in a specific pattern, perfectly surrounding a large circular diagram.
Cain narrowed his eyes, focusing all of his senses on the pattern of this diagram.
The circular diagram extended for at least several hundred meters; it had numerous spiritual runes engraved in it; the runes all appeared incredibly mystical as if they were written by an alien language and there were also the art of Dragons periodically scattered about.
Although Cain couldn't identify the mystical runes or the assortment of art, he did know exactly what this was.
This was an array transmission circle!
The runes were array symbols used to transport anybody instantly to another space.
Through his cultivation here, Cain had also taken the time to study the various formations or other miscellaneous things concerning cultivation and World Spirit Master Arts.
Array formations can be said to be a mix of both Martial cultivation and Spirit Energy.
World Source Laws and other Source Law essence are used if one wants to craft the array formation for combat situations. And Spirit energy is the foundation for the array formation to even work, being able to directly tear open the void itself to transport people.
In the Lower Realm, there exist numerous similar array formations. But those would only exist within the top-level organization of the entire planet.
Moreover, those array formations would be largely inferior to even the Divine Plane methods.
As for the Huang Dragon's array formations, there was no need to mention the immense difference.
From what Cain managed to gather, he was just barely scratching the surface of what powerful array formations can do.
At this time, Cain and Amber were curiously observing the array formation.
But Kali directly had her sights on two other extraordinary figures in the room.
Her lips turned into a mysterious smile, her eyes squinting in mockery as she curiously asked, "Now even Rulong and Jielong has come? Really, none of you can't seem to wait, hm?"
Towards her question, everyone put their sights on a young man and woman standing just a few meters to the right of the array formation.
One was the sharp and domineeringly majestic Huang Rulong. His deep black eyes still carried a hint of arrogance, his face as handsome as jade crystals twisted an expression of displeasure towards Kali.
While the other was the gracefully beautiful Huang Jielong. In contrast to her siblings, she had amazingly bright purple-colored eyes that seemed to radiate as bright as a star, containing a hint of unfathomable wisdom.
Although contrasting this was her haughty, arrogant expression as she squared her gaze right on Kali.
Both of these Dragon siblings were at the top-tier talents of the Royal descendants.
And naturally, Kali, Amber, and Cain were immense thorns that pierced deep within their Martial Hearts.
"My, Kali? You surely love to run your mouth, eh? All over for so-called potential that is riddled with mysteries." Huang Rulong didn't hesitate, promptly responding to Kali's provocation.
Huang Jielong didn't miss the opportunity, perfectly following up with, "Indeed, indeed. For all this smoke and glass, it would be tragic if you're still nothing but average after all this time. I dare to say it would be even bigger humiliation than before."
They, of course, couldn't use their Divine auras to suppress Kali. But the momentum of their tone would be enough to send even Sky Sages experts crashing to their knees.
This was the supreme difference between Mortal and Divinity.
Even their mere presence is at an unfathomable level no Mortal Path cultivator could even begin to comprehend.
But though even a great Lower Realm genius wouldn't be able to stand it, Kali merely gave a wider mocking smile.
"So, even you two still want to desperately cling to this hope? Heh, hey Cain?"
Disregarding her eldest siblings, Kali chuckled towards Cain. "Shall we spare no expense and crush their hopes just like before? Otherwise, their thick skulls and smooth brains won't be able to understand it at all!"
Huang Rulong and Jielong's gazes gradually frightening cold, unable to endure even the slightest of insults from a once cultivation waste.
But before either of them erupted, Cain snapped his gaze over to them, an incomparably calm expression filling his face.
"You are having too much fun, Kali. What's there use in trash-talking? Grandmother, can we start now?"
Even when looking directly into their eyes, Cain had a dismissive attitude. It was like he completely didn't care about his Royal siblings at all.
And such dismissiveness engraved a larger sense of frustration towards Cain than what either Huang Rulong or Jielong could possibly muster up to Kali.
But immediately when she was called for, Shi Wei suddenly appeared before them all, vanishing in faint luminous purple light.
"Royal grandmother."
Instantly, Huang Rulong, Jielong, Dai, and Xun deeply bowed their head.
While Cain, Kali, and Amber bowed with respect but didn't use the Royal grandmother title.
Shi Wei faintly smiled at Huang Rulong's group before directing a warmer smile at Cain's group.
She then said, "Now, now, there is no reason to be so openly hostile to each other. You are all the next generational leaders of this era, so we should foster a healthy rivalry between each other."
At her words, Huang Rulong, Jielong, and even Kali greatly suppressed the dark intentions in their hearts.
But it didn't leave altogether, only slumbering until the next prime opportunity,
Shi Wei continues to say, "Now then, Cain, Kali, Amber, release your full aura for me. We already have everything set up, but we need to know what exact level we should adhere to."
Wordlessly nodding, Cain, Kali, and Amber stimulated their dantians, Soul's Cores, and Spirit Spaces.
Surges of energy instantly rushed through their bodies, causing their auras to rapidly erupt like volcanoes.
Within a moment, their full powers were unleashed!
'Hua~!'
Fierce winds whipped out, only causing a slight disturbance in the environment. If this was the Lower Realm, the wind would've been able to exude powerful whirlwinds that can slice even Qi trees apart.
Three incredible auras were discharged from Cain, Kali, and Amber as their appearances transformed.
Amber released her beautiful Soul Form, gaining her trademark ink-like black hair and large bat wings. Her forehead shone with her luminous Holy Star.
Kali now had her majestic Dragon Ice Wings and her radiant Divine Star.
As for Cain, he not only had his mighty Dragon Lightning Wings and Saint Star but also a vague, sparkling green glow shrouding his Lightning encased body and eyes.
To keep up their previous overwhelming momentum, neither Cain, Kali, or Amber spared any expense, pulling out all of their energies at that moment.
Cain wasn't worried at all about using Chaos Energy since long before he had confirmed that not even Shi Wei could perceive it.
"Hmm?? This is…?!"
Huang Dai, Xun, Rulong, and Jielong seriously narrowed their eyes, regarding Cain's group with the utmost importance.
Truthfully, no matter how much power these three outputs, it wouldn't be able to pressure them in the slightest.
However, the Royal descendants could accurately sense that Cain's group prowess wasn't anything average!
Previously, Cain, Kali, and Amber were suppressed by the Dragon Altar's Dao Diagrams, so it was hard for even Shi Wei to judge their auras.
And now, with zero suppression, they all could well perceive the tremendous density in their energies!
Moreover, from Cain specifically, they felt as their Souls were just barely stimulated from his.
Unknowingly, the Royal descendants started to have an unbelieving thought.
Could their combat prowess actually be higher than theirs?
Shi Wei's Divine Senses was far more precise and accurate. After a moment, her eyes brightly glinted.
"Late or Peak Innate Lord, Middle or Late Sky Ruler. And…peak, no, Extreme Sky Ruler." Shi Wei's expression was calm, but her tone carried a hint of excitement.
Huang Rulong, Jielong, Dai, and Xun all felt their bodies shiver from such evaluation.
While Cain, Kali, and Amber faintly smiled, recalling their energies, gaining back their original appearances.
Shi Wei slowly nodded, stepped out of the way, and said, "You all will undergo the array at the same time. Just stand in the center of the array."
Not needing to be told twice, Cain, Kali, and Amber confidently walked to the center of the array formation.
At that moment, the array formation shimmered in rainbow color light, engulfing Cain, Kali, and Amber's bodies.
Cain felt his sense of space significantly shift around, his entire being getting sucked into another pulling force.
After a moment, he blinked his eyes, only to see the scenery completely changed. And the environment aura has also entirely shifted.
All around Cain now was an endless, beautiful Martial field.
The terrain was a spring blooming, grassy field filled with numerous exotic flowers, bushes, and petals, making the area exudes an aura of serenity. It provided calmness to the mind, allowing for one to fight better.
The environmental aura here was fresh, far purer than the Lower Realms.
But at the same time, it caused Cain, Kali, and Amber to furrow their brows.
"So this a separate dimension? Oddly enough, I can detect the World Source Laws here easier than the real world." Kali lightly commented, her vigilance instantly increasing.
Amber, who was calm and quiet for all this time, suddenly lit up with an answer. "Ah, I was reading about this just before. These separate dimensions or fake worlds are mainly made through the gradual assimilation of Source Laws and Spirit energy. This is so that no matter how much power we release, the space won't shatter apart. Though, with our cultivation, we never had the possibilities in the first place."
Amber lightly chuckled. She felt refreshed, experiencing so many different sensations that weren't possible in the Lower Realms.
"I see…" Cain absentmindedly took a step forward.
As soon as his feet hit the ground, a powerful aura had suddenly emerged.
Dozens of meters directly in front of Cain, a life-like phantom suddenly appeared.
The phantom had a generic face, and his skin was slightly translucent. But the aura emitting from it was the equivalent of a Middle Stage Sky Ruler!
Its dantian fused with the Middle Form of Heaven and Earth Origin energy and Early Stage Minor Law essence.
Both factors brought a quantitive change to one's prowess.
Any Middle Stage Sky Ruler is at least ten times more powerful than an ordinary Early Stage Sky Ruler. The difference between it and a zenith Extreme Innate Lord was akin to a massive chasm!
And this phantom's powerful aura crushed right onto Cain, directly ignoring Kali and Amber.
In response to this, Cain lightly smiled.. He treated this immense aura as if it was air.
