Chapter 480 Observing A Duel

Novel Top1.OR G

The duo didn't waste time as they flew directly to the multi-color temple.

Cain's rainbow-color badge allowed them immediate access to the temple. The badge flickered out rainbow-colored lights that directly split open an invisible barrier.

In the brief moment, Cain and Amber could sense the barrier. They could tell not even their strongest move combined would budge that barrier.

There simply wasn't a need for an Elder or any type of guard at the entrance.

When crossing the entrance, the duo didn't simply step into another room

Instead, they felt the sensation of space shifting all around them. A faint spiritual type of energy whipped past their bodies before instantly vanishing.

The next moment, the duo blinked their eyes to see they were now in a humongous temple!

It was a bit startling.

Outside, the Dao Temple looked even slightly smaller than some mortal manors. Inside the temple, the region of space massively expanded to an unbelievable amount.

Cain briefly swept his gaze over and concluded it had to be at least dozens of times greater than the size of expansive stadiums.

The first floor of the temple was decorated with unique cloud symbols. All cloud symbols could faintly exude their own sensations of a Dao Law.

If a slightly talented genius were to comprehend these cloud symbols, they would see a great increase in their Spiritual Sea perception abilities.

Past the decor, the duo took notice of the general population here.

The interior size of the temple's first floor was great, but the flow of disciples roaming was equally great. Most were in groups as they walked into open corridors, eager expressions lighting up their faces.

Above the corridors were signs that detailed just specifically where that group of disciples would end up at.

The signs, of course, detailed the type of Dao Core Fragments in each corridor.

Straight towards the middle of the floor were stairways that lead to low-grade Heavenly Dao Core Fragments. Only a few groups of disciples went upstairs, as it was restricted by badge access.

The general range of cultivation from the disciples was mostly Great Divine Sea experts with a considerable number of Divine Star experts.

Neither Cain nor Amber were surprised to see Divine Star geniuses searching for Dao Core Fragments.

It is indeed true that Dao Core Fragments is the only way for any Great Divine Sea cultivator to reach the Divine Star realm. And naturally, one would expect that upon reaching Divine Star, Dao Core Fragments wouldn't have any uses.

But this was far from the truth.

Divine Star cultivators need to comprehend their Dao Source Core in order to advance through the realm. What can considerably help with this process is Dao Core Fragments.

Though Dao Core Fragments are much smaller portions of a Great Dao, they all still contained many Dao principles that can heighten one's comprehension.

Before tackling their Dao Source Core fully, a Divine Star cultivator can build upon their foundation for a smoother road in the future.

During the short rest the duo had, Cain read about various stories of Divine Star geniuses having breakthroughs thanks to a Dao Core Fragment.

There was even an old peak stage genius that managed to reach the half-step Divine Ruler realm over comprehending their Dao Core Fragment affinity.

Even when the duo reaches the Divine Star realm, they would still hold on to their spare Dao Core Fragments.

With a passing glance around the first floor, the duo took slight notice of the other disciples' reactions.

Cain's and Amber's appearance did cause a noticeable stir among the disciples. But besides the looks of wariness, respect, and some fear, nobody decided to bother them, just like withnoutside.

The duo was just about to go straight up the highest floor to gain the best Dao Core Fragments when Cain detected something of particular note.

To his right, a sizable gathering had formed. At the center of the gathering were two decently powerful geniuses clashing about.

These two were Mid-Stage Divine Star geniuses with firmly upper-tier prowess.

Typically, these battles wouldn't pique Cain's interest at all. But because of his hyper-sensitive Chaos Sense, Cain detected that from one of the geniuses, he was utilizing both Fire Laws and Lightning Laws!

This caused Cain to completely pause. He fought with many opponents, numerous with far higher cultivation mastery than his own. But not a single one of them had ever produced two Law Sources at the same time.

Through enhancing his eyes with Divine Qi, Cain was able to clearly see a brief second of the duel.

One of the geniuses wielded a luminous orange sword in his left hand. The entire blade was coated in a sizzling fire glow, and within the fire, trained eyes could spot sparks of blue lightning.

In the genius other hand was a long fire energy sword that had a similar shape to the luminous blade. Same with the blade. The fire energy sword also had sparks of lightning occasionally flashing within it.

This genius swiped both of his swords at extreme speeds. His arms became blurry phantoms and rays of energy lights spurted from the tip of each blade.

Every energy light that burst open pulsated with extreme power. It also soared at blinding speeds, covering his foe in an inescapable net!

The genius foe had a solemn expression. Blue lights flowed out of his eyes as a collum of Divine Water Laws rose from beneath him.

At that moment, Cain took his eyes off the fight.

Thoughts rapidly ran through Cain's mind. 'But even though this guy is using two laws...his Lightning Laws produce a far weaker essence. And its energy principles are incredibly simple, to the point where an Early Stage Divine Star warrior can cancel it out. So weak, but it's obviously not for attacking. That Lightning energy is actually pouring into the Fire energy, which is why it's just slightly stronger than normal!'

Deciding to get a closer look, Cain pulled Amber along while explaining the situation to her through a sound transmission.

Amber's bored face finally ignited with some light. 'Two Law principles at the same time? Never heard of it. Thinking about it, your special Draconic Lightning is kind of rare as well.'

As she thought back to her moments in Azure Lightning City, Amber couldn't recall even her seniors or Elders using two or more Laws. In fact, no historic book of her home city ever mentioned anything about dual Laws.

When Cain recalled his own family, he realized that only his direct blood descendant sibling had the unique Draconic Arts. All others of the younger generation and even the high Elders couldn't use the Draconic Arts.

Cain briefly wondered if those in the Ancient Phoenix Holy Land had their own unique bloodline arts. But that would be for a future time.

At this point, the duo had already gotten close to the gathering.

Sparks of intense Law friction lit up the area. Particles of Fire and Water smashed together, resulting in a powerful flow of airwaves being released.

But no matter how hard the geniuses clash, they couldn't shake the ground or even distort the space within this Dao Temple.

Many other geniuses, mainly the Great Divine Sea ones, were intently watching the duel. They focused on the duel while making comments to each other. Some stayed completely quiet in order to heighten their Spiritual Sea perception abilities.

Because of bright flashes of Law energy and Inner World power pouring out from both combatants, nobody had even noticed the duo's approach.

Cain took a second to listen in on them.

"To think Song He has gotten so strong in such a short amount of time! This guy really has some talent. I heard when others try using two Laws, it never ends well for them."

"The Laws certainly aren't producing some powerful effect. But Qiu Wei is struggling to even get close without sustaining some form of injury. Maybe there's more to Laws than I even thought..."

In that moment, Cain picked out some disciple with low cultivation, gripped his shoulder to turn him around, and made a shushing gesture.

The disciple in question stilted in complete fear. He, a Great Divine Sea genius, facing a monstrous freak of the younger generation, was like an ant meeting a tiger king.

The disparity was so immense he nearly collapsed from just the faint pressure!

Still, Cain didn't give him any chance to make any noise as he causally suppressed the disciples with his natural presence. He then asked, "Just who is fighting? And why are they fighting?"

Despite the large crowd of disciples talking and the continuous clashes of battle, Cain's low tone still flowed directly into the disciple's mind.

In a slightly shaky tone, the disciple said, "Ah-ah! S-Senior Martial brother Lee! You see, these two wouldn't be well-known to you. There are decent-ranking Inner disciples around the 50th mark, Song He and Qiu Wei. They are only a step away from the Late Stage of Divine Star, but their talents in Law make everyone see them in a new light."

Pausing for a moment, the disciple continues to say, "The reason for their fight is that there is a special kind of Core Fragment in this corridor. And if two people want the same core, there's nothing stopping the duo from settling out in a martial duel."

In a society mainly dominated by Martial cultivators, it was inevitable that disputes result in a duel the majority of the time.

Holy Lands, such as Cloudsea, greatly encourage this kind of behavior. After all, all geniuses, no matter their talent, need to be refined and sharpen to truly show their true polishing shine.

Without any sharpening, that gem of a genius would never be able to reach its true shine.
