Silence permeated thend.


    Lin Zui, Lan Rui, Ji Zhao, and even Yulong didn''t know how to describe their state.


    Bewildered?


    Awe?


    Horrified?


    After all, Cain and Amber hadpletely trampled upon not just ordinary Early Stage Divine Rulers, but extreme geniuses who were at the upper tier prowess of this stage!


    They could even trade blows with a Peak Early Stage Divine Ruler! Yet, they were merely defeated in two moves by Late Stage Great Divine Sea warriors?


    A thought streaked through everyone''s mind. Lin Zui, Lan Rui, and Ji Zhao went still as statues.


    While Yulong''s eyes widened to the extreme. ''Definitely surpasses those ancient and current Divine Mortals! Last time, Amber wasn''t even counted as Divine Mortal tier! Yet now she and Cain can probably defeat ordinary Middle Stage Divine Rulers...just how much will their prowess grow?''


    Thousands of thoughts ran through Yulong''s mind. She feltpletely enthralled by Cain''s majestic win. The bearing of a True Dragon supremely gushed from his natural presence.


    In that moment of silence, Yulong couldn''t contain herself. "Holy! Martial brother and Martial Sister! Who cares about Divine Decree Lords? You two are the extreme among extreme talents!"


    Her shouts awoke the others from their stupors. Indeed. The reality was that Cain and Amber not only can''t be suppressed by Divine Rulers but are superior to those with unfathomable potential!


    Cain and Amber dispersed their powers at the same time.


    Yi Jun fell to her ass while Hao Han slowly crawled out of his crater. As the atmosphere turned to normal, it seemed as if the previous fight was just a dream.


    However, the bearing the duo exuded, even in their ordinary forms, was unmatched.


    Cain''s smile seemed calm and gentle as he slowly asked, "Well? Do you still want to continue? Is there anyone else who wants to spar with us?"


    Hao Han, Yi Jun, and Ji Zhao trembled. While Lin Zui shook his head and Lan Rui had a slightly wry smile.


    Lan Rui quietly sighed, saying, "Though there is some sort of ranking between us, ourbat prowess is practically equal. Our strengths and weakness really rely on the unique abilities of our Dao Origins. But...against higher suppression, speed, and power, all roads will lead to the same end."


    She had her pride as a Divine Ruler and a top-tier genius. But Lan Rui clearly knew that each and everyone one of them was far outssed.


    There was no point inparison. Even chasing the duo''s shadow seems like a challenge higher than the heavens.


    But though the disparity was immense, Lan Rui was quite calm. Never once did she have any problem with the duo in the first ce.


    Furthermore, gazing upon Cain''s valiant form that seemed to shine brighter than light itself, Lan Rui felt genuine feelings ofplete admiration. Nothing but respect was in her heart.


    But while Lan Rui was content, the other Divine Ruler geniuses couldn''t calmly ce their emotions. It was quite the immense pill to swallow to be ruthlessly knocked down from a seemingly invincible pedestal.


    Yi Jun, Ji Zhao, and Hao Han didn''t even put the Divine Decree Lords in their eyes.


    Yet now, they finally realized how much of a frog in a giant well they really are!


    Hao Han and Yi Jun slowly stood from their craters. They forced themselves to calm down and attempted to maintain a level gaze.


    Hao Han''s voice was a bit shaky, but he sincerely nodded and said, "If there has been any past hostility, I would like to apologize. You two are more geniuses than I have ever seen before."


    "Indeed." Yi Jun took a slight breath. "Cloudsea will only be brighter with you two around."


    On the sidelines, Ji Zhao paused for a moment. His eyes flickered, but in the end, he spoke up to say, "Might always speak the most reason. Martial siblings certainly taught us a valuable lesson."


    No matter if these Divine Rulers have conflicting feelings in their hearts, they knew it was impossible to deny their ce among them. Their potential shouldn''t even be mentioned in the same breath as Cain''s or Amber''s.


    Yi Jun, Hao Han, and Ji Zhao certainly would take the chance to form connections with the duo had they known about this kind of prowess before.


    But s, nothing could change first impressions. At least, not in a short amount of time.


    Hence, after onest deep nod of respect, Ji Zhao, Yi Jun, and Hao Han quickly flew off from the cultivation ground.


    Yulong narrowed her eyes at the group as they vanished from sight. Crossing her arms, she smirked, "Was it really so necessary to leave? They admitted themselves, so it wouldn''t be impossible for them to stick around for a bit."


    At this time, Lin Zui, who had beenpletely quiet for all of this time, spoke up. "For their state of mind, they felt it was necessary. Their slightly hostile entrance gave off the wrong impressions and sticking around just seems...a little much. But as they left, I will also be taking my leave."


    Complete respect filled Lin Zui''s eyes. He sped his fist to the duo with a body. "I hope we can study pointers from each other in the future Martial siblings."


    Like the others, an azure light shrouded Lin Zui''s body as he took off into the skies.


    A sigh leaked from Yulong''s lips. She shook her head and shrugged. "Ah, at least everything ended perfectly. Plus, you two won''t have to worry about any pettiness from those guys. You convinced thoroughly, down to their very souls."


    Cain calmly smiled while Amber''s expression was in.


    Truthfully, Cain and even Amber, to an extent, still felt an engrossed sensation from the previous battle.


    A fight with a Divine Ruler really pushed them near their full capacity!


    They fully understood why Divine Rulers seem perfectly invincible among those below. The energy principles of Supreme Divine Laws really were unmatched. World Source Laws can barely contain its immense power!


    Cain was certain that if he and Amber didn''t reach Quasi-grandmaster attainment, thenpletely suppressing Yi Jun and Hao Han would''ve been a tremendous challenge.


    Though hisbat prowess can eclipse two realms, Cain still wasn''t satisfied. He needed much more if he ever wants to dream aboutbating those far higher realm masters.


    He needs far more if he ever wants to venture out alone with Amber.


    His desire to enhance his Divine Ice Laws greatly surged after this duel. There wasn''t any need to put off this issue any longer!


    As things calmed down, Cain transmitted to Amber, ''Well? A great sess, wouldn''t you agree? After this, going to those Ancient Worlds is on the horizon.''


    ''Mn. If Divine Ruler prowess is only this, then we shouldn''t have any problem going out. After a little bit of seclusion, of course.'' Amber casually spoke.


    What the duo was so causally discussing were ces with high resources and higher danger; Ancient Worlds.


    These types of areas hold special resources and treasures one couldn''t normally get from a Holy Land.


    Cain and Amber also invested in research while training before today''s duel. When they came across the Ancient Worlds, a n quickly formed between them.


    These Ancient Worlds are great opportunities. But are heavily restricted. Cloud Sea Holy Land has an indomitable rule stating that only direct disciples can visit these areas.


    Simply meaning, only Divine Rulers and above can survive an Ancient World.


    Thus, without any more regard, the duo finally decided to show their true selves today.


    Though Amber''s mind still had a small concern. ''Still, I wonder if those Elders will try to suppress news of our prowess. The benefits they could receive are immense.''


    ''And the potential trouble is equally immense. As I said, Cloudsea could easily put out news of Yulong staying here, but still hasn''t done so. No matter how glorious those Heavenly Great World seems, they are probably filled with more danger than these high-tier Holy Lands.'' Cain confidently stated.


    Amber''s lips nearly curled into a wry smile. ''And for a moment, just days ago, I thought you would like the path of caution. Now you''re all too eager to struggle for better cultivation.''


    ''It''s just...the slower we are here, the higher the chances of something happening to Kali or even Xun or Dai. Those Ancient Worlds really opened my worldview. I mean, seclusion is good for umting prowess, but great opportunities onlye with risky adventures. I can''t fret worrying what this Holy Land can dopared to what Kali is potentially going through.'' Cain was fiercely determined.


    Previously, the duo was concerned about threats in the Holy Land and other Heavenly Venerate if they showcase their Divine Mortal prowess, which can lead people to eventually identify them.


    However, after meeting with Yulong and knowing about the Ancient Worlds, the duo''s mindspletely change.


    Cloudsea Holy Land would want to preserve their lineage than try to do listless service for a Heavenly Great World.


    Like what they discussed with Yulong during their first time meeting, one wrong move and this Holy Land can possibly be destroyed!


    Who to say that every Heavenly Great World wants a prime genius like Yulong to back to the Celestial Dark Dragon Great World?


    If news leaks to the enemies, the consequences would be devastating to everyone.


    The same principle can be applied to Cain and Amber''s Divine Mortal prowess.


    Would every single Heavenly Great World, each filled with immensely ambitious people simply allow for not just one, but two tremendous talents to reach the very apex of society and possibly change everything?


    Without sufficient control or loyalty, there was no telling what those Heavenly Great Worlds might do.


    These thoughts made Cain and Amber both wonder why Shi Wei had publicized his and Kali''s Divine Mortal prowess.


    Furthermore, during that time, why did the Heavenly Great World take so long to contact them? And much less only sending their prime geniuses than their Elders?


    Neither Cain nor Amber can say they for sure know why. The only vague possibility they have is that either Shi Wei has terrifying connections or there are some other great secrets from their Ancestors.


    In any case, Cloudsea wanting to preserve Divine Mortals for their own lineage is practically assured given Yulong''s case.


    As these thoughts swirled through the duo''s head, Amber suddenly giggled. ''You sure do love Kali, huh? And you know, we could''ve probably just settled this earlier during our first days here. But you didn''t want to crush Lan Rui''s pride too much, right?''


    Cain had the urge to roll his eyes. ''You know that I had no idea of the Ancient Worlds during that time. Besides, it was more satisfying to bait and crush these arrogant fools.''


    The duo''s conversation onlysted for a moment. Cain''s expression remained the same as he gave a humble response to Lan Rui''s and Yulong''s praise.


    "Though we reach this step, we still have a long way to go. Reaching the Divine Star realm is the most prominent goal."


    Yulong teasingly chuckled. "Right, right? Really, no need to act humble in front of us. You deserve to have an ego. But now that''s everything over. Shall we hang out for a bit? It''s good to do some disciples bonding once in a while."


    Cain, Amber, and Lan Rui traded a nce with each other. None of them showed any disagreement. Talking and bonding would do good for their state of mind in any case.


    Though, Cain did notice how he''s in a situation with only women. But since none of the girls were bringing it up, he just decided to enjoy this short period of peace.


    ...


    Outside the neutral cultivation ground, high in the skies, three grand figures were silently gazing down. Their expressions mixed between bewilderment and genuine awe.


    Each of these figures exuded an unfathomable sensation. They all rippled the Breath of the Great Dao!


    Three Primal Soverigen grandmasters came to an obverse a duel between juniors. But just this duel alone shocked these grandmasters to their very souls.


    At the front helm of the Supreme Elders was Elder Xi. Right beside her side were Elder Ma and Elder Rian.


    Elder Rian quietly sighed. "To think we truly were off the mark. Not pseudo-Divine Mortals, but Divine Mortals equals! We may not know if they could have fought Divine Beings as mortals, but this kind of prowess certainly makes them equal to any Divine Mortals."


    "And of course, we can''t let this news leak out. We don''t have that kind of protectionpared to that Royal Dark Dragon Queen." Elder Ma stated, a slight shiver coursing through at the mere mention of the Royal Dark Dragon Queen.


    Even Elder Rian furrowed his brows at the mention of her title. His thoughts led further astray as he murmured out, "Absolutely no background and this kind of prowess...could these two possibly be?"


    "That should not be likely." Elder Xi exined with a calm smile. "By now, anyone of us would be able to perceive if these two were utilizing some kind of art to change their faces and auras. Neither of them has any presence of a Dragon. And our Heaven is practically ever-expanding, experts are like the stars. Even if they were the Dragons, it''s still imperative to keep them a secret from the Heavenly Great Worlds."


    "Indeed. I can still recall how the Peerless Soverigen homnd waspletely helpless despite being a Holy Land on our level. But, even as we will keep them a secret, we will need to ce a higher priority on nurturing them." Elder Ma stated.


    Elder Xi''s smile soon filled with amusement. "No wonder...so that''s why those brats been so invested in my books. With this showcase, it appears they''re going for an Ancient World."


    Elder Ma nodded. "From my sources, it appears the Elder Heng had previously educated Lee on Two Daos training. He seems specifically intrigued by this subject. Perhaps he already has obtained a second Divine Law at this point."


    "Ah? If he has a second Divine Law, could it possibly match that powerful Lightning?" Elder Rian asked.


    Thinking on it for a moment, Elder Xi slowly said, "If that was the case, Lee would''ve most likely showcased it by now to receive further teaching from us. If he ns to go to an Ancient World, it''s most likely to strengthen this second Dao Law. In any case, if he decides to go now, I''ll advise him to wait a bit. His and Xun''s prowess can only match close or an ordinary Peak Early Stage. Months under my training, and they will be ready to go."


    The fact that they have two Divine Mortals still felt unreal to Elder Ma, Rian, and even Xi. But, for everyone''s best interest, now wasn''t exactly the appropriate time to broadcast it out loud.


    Although in the depths of Elder Xi''s soul, she could faintly tell things may spiral out of her own hands.
