Chapter 245 - To The Peak (2)

Martial Family, Sects, World Spirit Master Branches, and all other kinds of organizations have existed across the God Galaxies ever since immemorial times. 

The history that even those in Low God Galaxies have can possibly range up to even hundreds of thousands of years!

This was all through endless descendants being birthed, talented disciples coming in to give these organizations futures or cultivators with massively long lifespans keeping these organizations thriving.

By the Divine Essence of Heaven and Earth, Martial Cultivators can live for a greatly exaggerated time. 

Just a Divine Origin cultivator has 10,000 years of life! To Lower Realm cultivators, this would be an unfathomable concept.

10,000 years is virtually numerous cultivation dynasties' lifespans and prosperous years! 

But towards those in the God Galaxies, 10,000 years is but a small stepping stone.

Time quickly flows by as Martial Cultivators invest their all into cultivation, spending numerous years just in close door training. And for Low to even High God Galaxies Realm, all Martial Organizations fervently cultivates in order to achieve the unattainable boundary trillions among hundreds of trillions of cultivators desperately wish to achieve.

That is, the Holy King Realm! 

For Martial Organizations spanning over hundreds of thousands of years, there wouldn't be the appearance of even one Holy King Master. 

Even with millions upon millions of disciples, reaching the Holy King is far too massive of a hurdle. There were numerous factors that go in if one even wanted the chance to reach the Holy King Realm.

To encountering many lucky chances, having a powerfully firm Martial Heart, excellent intelligence, direct guidance from superior Martial Arts masters, countless heavenly resources, and of course heaven-defying Martial Talent.

Even with all these factors combined, it isn't accurate that one will reach the Holy King Realm. 

But even so, the fact one does have a genuine possibility of reaching the Holy King Realm is better than zero.

The Huang Dragon Imperial Palace had only one Holy King in its nearly hundred thousand years of history. From then on, just one Holy King Martial Talent appeared, but he had mysteriously died before he had a chance to properly mature.

As for their direct rivals, the Ancient Phoenix Holy Lands, there has been numerous limit Divine Rulers but not a single Holy King. 

And their history spans at least 300,000 years with millions upon millions of Clansmembers!

From this, it's practically common knowledge that genuine Holy King level of Talents is a rarity that all Martial organizations would want to desperately foster. 

And right their very eyes, the Huang Dragons had just witnessed history.

But before anyone could even think of reacting, Cain suddenly moved, unwilling to be outdone by his sister. 

'Swoosh!!' 

A greater gust of wind burst out of Cain's flapping wing as he soared straight towards the 10th step.

He turned into a blue lightning trail, flying at an even faster speed than what Kali could muster. 

As he rapidly approached the tenth step, the Dao Diagram's Essence frantically drilled into him like a violent thunderstorm!

'Chiii~!' 

The chilling sounds of flesh tearing off pounded everyone eardrums; flesh and blood scattered into the air, creating a terrifying visage. All of this came from Cain stubbornly resisting the Dao Diagram's Essence.

Compared to Kali, he was experiencing the worst form of the invisible force. His Dragon Skeleton was rapidly cracking all over, his robes drenched with blood and sweat as he flew like a crazed mad man.

The pain was undoubtedly great, slightly hellish even. 

But Cain's Lightning Dragon Wings only flapped with crazed intensity, going faster than what Sky Ruler's experts' eyes could perceive. 

When Cain was only several feet from the 10th step, similarly to Kali, he gathered every drop of his soul energy! 

'Bang!' 

A portion of the celestial mountain shook again as Cain shattered right through the 10th step's barrier!

At this point, Kali had no other option but to crash on the 10th step. Her energy reserved was nearly drained, and it was hard to move anymore. 

However, for Cain, his speed didn't decrease!

Under horrified eyes, Cain soared straight towards the fable 11th step! His Lightning speed had even intensified, blinking through the air like a ghost. 

Within moments, Cain reached several meters from the 11th step. 

And at this distance, an unbelievable change occurred. 

The Dao Diagram within the Dragon Altar Steps frantically surged, spewing unending waves of unfathomable Essence.

All new Essence crushed onto Cain, causing the invisible force pressure to tremendously intensify. Towards his Dantian, bloodline, and Soul, Dao Diagram's Essence desperately tried to suppress every inch of it.

At the same time, the whole Dragon Altar Steps visibly tremble! 

It gushed out an unfathomable wave of Essence that washed over the entire celestial mountain.

Feeling this Essence, the Huang Dragons, Kali, and Amber all felt their hearts intensely palpitate. Their eyes locked onto Cain, and utter horror started to fill them. 

"This!!" 

'Chiii~!' 

Even more bits of Cain's skin burst apart, and rivers of his blood scattered into the air, drenching the skies in the chilling visage of crimson colors. 

Cain's current form was genuinely horrifying to witness. On his face, arms and necks, his skin was torn off, revealing the putrid sights of his raw flesh. 

Furthermore, his bones were utterly breaking apart, with each crack causing a sickening audible pop.

"Cain!!" 

Both Kali and Amber felt their hearts lurch to their throats! Their nails dug into their flesh as they could only helplessly watch on. 

And not just the girls; all other Huang Dragons to the Elders, Royal descendants, and even Shi Wei felt their hearts sink to the pits of their guts.

At this moment, they all realized this wasn't a simple showcase of Martial Talent. 

But the entire future of their whole Imperial Family! 

Millions upon millions of lives will be directly influenced by the level of talent Cain can reach.

If he can carve out an impossible legend no other Huang Dragon had ever done before, all of their lives can completely transform! 

Their glory can reach its peak, their reputation will be known across the universe, and most of all, their Martial Arts could finally evolve! 

No longer will they be stuck as ignorant frogs compared to the mighty Heavenly Great Worlds. With Cain, they can carve out a new era that won't be forgotten in their history!

So naturally, whether one personally knew Cain or not, all of them were unknowingly worried! 

At this time, Cain truly was experiencing hellish torture.

The pain was similar or even slightly worse than getting his flesh slowly flamed alive. The Dao Diagram was crushing both his body and Soul, trying to destroy him for daring to revolt against it

Under this kind of scenario, some would feel too much pressure and give up, acknowledging their limits. 

Others would feel hot-blooded against this challenge and want to rush ahead brazenly.

For Cain, however, all he felt is strange calmness. He was continually exercising his Soul to an extreme degree, allowing it to bear the pressure of a trace of the Heavenly Dao. 

With this, it was causing dramatic changes. 

Under this state, Cain's thoughts gradually develop, forming into one line; 'The Soul are gifts from the Great Dao. And within it contains our Martial Nature. With an understanding of my true Martial Nature, I can reveal the true power of the Soul…'

Cain never had these thoughts before, but under the rapid developments of his Soul, it all flowed naturally to his mental psyche. 

And at these words, Cain's eyes flashed a vibrant green glow as an overflow of Soul energy burst out of him!

Under this new strength, Cain's Lightning Dragon Wings gave one last massive flap, his speed shooting off far beyond his maximum limits! 

'Bang!' 

A heaven-shattering explosion caused the entirety of the celestial mountain to ferociously tremble.

When the 11th step barrier was broken, it was like hell on earth suddenly occurred! 

This time, many weaker Huang Dragons couldn't resist falling onto their asses no matter how much energy they revolved. 

But even under the trembles, nobody could take their eyes off the Dragon Altar Steps. And as the shaking gradually subsided, whispers filled with awe, horror, and disbelief leaked.

"He-he really made it to the 11th step…" 

Indeed standing with a slight slouch that didn't ruin his majestic prestige at all was a bloody, battered Cain. 

His clothes were ruined, his flesh was on display, blood poured from his mouth, all of it making his visage horrifying.

But despite his pathetic state, Cain's momentum was too overwhelming. 

Everyone in the crowd felt as if they had just watched the birth of a future terrifying legend that can be a prominent figure across the God Galaxy!

And at this time, Cain slowly raised his head, an proud, satisfied smile hanging on his lips. He honestly couldn't feel more content with himself. 

Not only did he peer into a new level of the Soul, but he had also made his first step in the God Galaxies a tremendous performance!

Then, under the suffocating silence, Shi Wei's clear, crisp voice echoed out throughout the entire celestial mountain. 

"Cain, Kali, Amber. You three truly are outstanding talents that are like a bright light for our Family. In history, there hasn't been a performance more astounding than you! From this very moment, the grand immemorial rise of us Huang Dragons will emerge!"

Shi Wei's words were awe-inspiring, blasting into hundreds of thousands of Huang Dragons' ears like a thunderstorm! 

"Ahh!! The Sixth Princess, the seventh prince, and their companion will lead us to ultimate glory!"

"Amazing, too amazing! The Heavens were just biding their time for our inevitable rise!" 

Many young Huang Dragons were overflowing in glee. These were the ones that were either indifferent or didn't mind Cain or Kali's presence.

Though their Martial Hearts were fiercely shaken up, they couldn't help but be fervent over this new possibility. 

However, the other more prideful Huang Dragons had mixed emotions twisting their face.

"Is-isn't this all just future potential? It can't be…completely accurate…" 

There were weak arguments at best to oppose these overwhelming results. But even as they said this, nobody truly believed their own thoughts.

After all, they were more than aware that they wouldn't be able to defy the Dao Diagram like Cain, Kali, or even Amber. 

At the very least, their foundations are the makings of a true genius!

Unwilling as they are, at this moment, they could do nothing but helplessly watch Cain, Kali and Amber bask in the limelight. 

Over at the Royal descendants' side, each of them already went pale. 

It was one thing to match their talents. But it was another completely suppress them. This would be a moment none of them would forget in their entire lives. 

However, at the same time, their Martial Hearts didn't become entirely unwavering.

Nearly all of them intensely gripped their palms, digging their nails into the skins of their flesh to acutely burn this moment into their brains. 

No matter what, none of them would ever readily admit they are inferior to their once zero aptitude siblings.

The only ones who didn't look as fiercely determined as the others were Huang Dai and Xun. 

Their gazes were profound, as if they were experiencing the universe's greatest mysteries.

At that moment, Huang Dai subconsciously sent over a sound transmission to Xun. "Two months…has it really only been two months…?" 

Huang Xun couldn't tear her eyes off from Cain. The state of shock was too intense. 

However, she slowly nodded, replying to Dai, "Mn…two months no later, no less. In two months, they somehow perfectly reached the Innate Lord level with heaven-defying talent that suppresses us. Even with the highest of Innate gifts, it is impossible to achieve this without dedication. I…truly have no other words…"

Whether these Huang Dragons wanted to admit it or not, Cain, Kali, and Amber had officially made their first step with the Dragon Altar test.
