With Hua in the lead, Cain and Zexi were soon led over to the temple. Before entering, Cain could already detect a surge of strange energy bubbling from both Kong''s and Hua''s bodies.


    He and Zexi watched as the duo took out two small keys.


    These keys were engraved with exoticw runes. Specially made so that no average divine expert could enter the temple without permission.


    Gleams of divine light shot out of the key and opened the translucent barrier surrounding the temple.


    The group entered without any issues.


    Upon entering, Cain was greeted to an average sight. Not much about the interior truly stood out to him. But there were two things took take notice of.


    The continuous pattern of firew runes which all exudedte stage to peak stage Divine Ruler''s principles.


    And at the center of the temple was the strangest sight.


    An altar was erected. On it was a cage that contained a dazzling source of mystical mes.


    It really was queer. The mystical mes truly didn''t exude a sensation of powermon to Cain. His Divine Sense could detect variousw principle sensations.


    Ranging from Great Divine Sea, Divine Star, and even Divine Rulers. But there was also a source of divinew buried deep within. One that made Cain curled his brows over.


    As they were walking, Zexi, Kong, and Hua were briefly engaged in nostalgic talk.


    So many memories filled Zexi''s mind. One of these memories made her suddenly ask, "Say? Where are the elders? Even as they did give you control of the temple, they should still be around by day, right?"


    "Ah. They''ve been in close-door cultivation for a bit. They im they were on the verge of a breakthrough." Kong told.


    And it was at this time that Hua noticed Cain''s particr interest in the mystical mes. She smiled and said, "Senior brother Cain has a good eye. Come, we really want you to see it up close. You can call it a little project we''re working on."


    "Oh? Now that''s something I haven''t seen before." Zexi''s eyes brighten.


    They all stepped closer to the mystical me, allowing its sensation ofws to soothe deep into their souls.


    Kong and Hua held enlightened smiles. They were utterly enraptured by the mystical me.


    While Zexi couldn''t suppress this growing fascination. Her soul was faintly stirring, almost yearning to touch this mystical me. Itsw sensations were intense. As if held the power to draw in any souls from the universe.


    Only Cain remained calm with a rational brain.


    Hua was inches away from touching the cage. She spoke at the same time. "This is such a precious treasure. Something we got exploring an inheritance belonging to that of a grandmaster! You two have to breathe in this me. It''ll broaden your mind beyond belief."


    "Really?" Zexi waspletely ensnared. "Then, let''s see its-"


    "Stop." Cain''s single word froze everyone there.


    They all suddenly awoke from their stupor. None of the dazed light of the mystical mes glistened within their eyes now.


    Immediately afterward, a mystical force of divinew began suppressing the atmosphere. Just this small amount crushed any opposingw principles.


    Kong and Hua''s faces instantly tightened. Their smiles became strained.


    While Zexi gave Cain a questioning nce. "Is something wrong, brother Cain?"


    "Indeed there is. It took a bit to figure out. But that mystical me contains traces of ve Law essence within. Even taking a small whiff of this me will drill into anyone''s soul." Cain calmly spoke.


    His words sent off waves in Zexi''s mind. She froze for a moment before snapping her attention to Kong and Hua.


    The duo attempted to stay calm. But the small beads of sweat pouring down their faces already stirred suspicion.


    And Cain didn''t just throw out an usation. A wave of his hand caused lightning-ice covered Chaos energy to wrap over him and Zexi.


    Another wave shattered the cage containing the mystical me. Gusts of powerful wind sliced through the temple. The rippling shockwaves were far too intense.


    "Ah! How?!" Kong and Hua fell straight to their asses, their organs shifting and blood running down their chins.


    Just the faint shockwaves alone were so powerful. And Cain really lived up to his legend. He crushed seals of half-step Holy King with utter ease!


    Without warning, a divine lightning-ice chain covered the mystical mes. Its waves ofw principles were contained,pletely suppressed by Cain''sw principles.


    It was at this time, a more special type of lightning shot out of his eyes. The mysterious ck lightning made its appearance.


    There wasn''t an unfathomable amount of power or the presence of divinity within the ck lightning. But even so, all others watching could just barely catch a trace of this mysterious ck lightning.


    The ck lightning easily drilled into the mystical me. No resistance impedes its path.


    After only a moment, the ck lightning pulled out, revealing a uniquew rune within its grasp.


    "Ah!" Zexi couldn''t help but yelp in surprise. Divine cultivators were all highly knowledgeable in the general surface-level knowledge of Divine Laws.


    At the very least, all Divine Laws now have various pictures depicting how their runes or essence marks.


    What was in the ck lightning grasp was a ve rune symbol!


    Cain''s ck lightning enhanced perceptionbined with Chaos energy was more than enough to pick out the ve Law essence within the mystical mes.


    And since his power was greater, it was effortless to expose the vew rune.


    Zexi faintly trembles. Her eyes snapped to her childhood friends, an increasing, insidious killing intent beginning to emerge. "What is this? Were-were you two really attempting to control us? Make us into some kind of mindless ves?!"


    Hurt and a rising fury smother both her tone and eyes.


    What other intentions did these two have? By simply making them inhale the sensations of the mystical mes, their soul space would''ve been invaded.


    Even before the cage was lifted open, the enthralling sensation was already lowering Zexi''s guards. She really would''ve turned into a ve without even knowing how!


    That kind of betrayal struck the core of her soul.


    At this point, Kong and Hua held horrified expressions. They knew Cain was terrifying. But to a point where he can even detect a trace ofw so easily and even specifically pull saidw rune out from a dozens other?


    That wasn''t just terrifying...it waspletely monstrous!


    ''Not-not even a grandmaster has such an ability...'' Kong was internally sighing.


    Cain made it look so easy. But truthfully, Holy King mastersck the ability to pick out a specificw principles. Much less using a force that allowed thew symbol to exist in the real world withoutbusting into source energy.


    Perhaps if it was just a simple Divine Decree Lord genius, everything would''ve gone as nned. It was a shame that Cain decided to tag along with Zexi.


    Still, Hua attempted to salvage whatever she can of this situation. "St-star lord, Zexi...yes, we did indeed tend to control you with these mes. But, it wasn''t anything severe or something. Your-your background! How can we possibly keep you two a secret forever?"


    "Mn. Those are some nice words." Cain''s smile was ice cold. "But who knows if you''re telling the truth? I wouldn''t put it past you two to have hidden chambers hard to find by even grandmasters if you nned so far already. But whether your intention with us after we were ves was pure or noble or not even all that bad, I don''t care. You want to enve me? Then you shall die."
