On the outside, Cain's and Amber's bodies jerked. They knew they couldn't use the full effects of the black lightning less they wanted, unwanted attention.
Hence, the black Dragon rune markings didn't appear at the center of their forehead. But that couldn't stop traces of black lightning from flowing out of their pupils.
In this very instant, even without its full effects, Cain's and Amber's Spiritual Sea abilities were amplified beyond their peak limits dozens of times!
Only two minutes have passed. Every other challenger disciple was still struggling.
But Cain and Amber experienced a monstrous change. Through their essence energies, the duo understood a tiny portion of the Great Dao sensation!
Because their essence energies can directly control a small portion of the Greater Dao sensation, they rely on this small control to break through the real-world atmosphere!
Cain and Amber didn't waste any more time.
Swirls of Draconic Lightning engulfed Cain's body. His body slowly floated up at first. Testing the waters, Cain didn't feel any discomfort at this level. His Soul Law marks weren't strained, meaning he can produce even more power.
At this time, Amber as well tested the waters, slowly floating up to Cain's same height. She similarly didn't feel the slightest strain on her Soul Law marks.
Cain took a deep breath. A sparkling glint of electricity sizzled from his pupils. His Inner World power surged to a full 50%!
Amber quelled her nerves. Traces of Shadow Lights and Red Spirit energy lights flickered from her pupils. Her Inner World power surged to a full 50%!
'Swish!'
Sonic booms reverberated in the area. Powerful wind blew out, recklessly flapping disciples' clothes and throwing the weaker ones back for dozens of meters.
Cain and Amber blasted up into the skies as blinding beams of dark blue and black!
"What?!?"
Nearly every single disciple, both challenger and on the outside, was fraught with overwhelming horror and shock!
Even the Holy King Elders' eyes opened incredibly wide!
The surrounding crowd had the leisure to study Cain and Amber with their Divine Sense, inspecting them from top to bottom.
Naturally, none of them believed that they were cheating. If they were, the Supreme Elders overseeing the exam would've instantly exposed the duo.
But even so, this kind of talent was far too harrowing.
In the crowd were two Holy King Elders that Cain and Amber were familiar with. Elder Heng and Elder Hon had inexplicably managed to stand reasonably close to each other.
Yet, at this time, they couldn't focus on their innate dislike for each other. All of Elder Heng's concentration was on her Divine Sense. The longer she inspected the duo, the bigger the shock was.
"Their energy principles...it's not that I can't analyze it. But, just how are their energy principles so unfathomably deep and complex? This is breaching new grounds. Not a single half-step Divine Ruler can ever hope to match them. Going past half-step, could they possibly..."
"No. That shouldn't be possible." Though Elder Hon outright denied the implicit possibility, his tone didn't sound firm at all.
He still continued to say, "Even if you were to give them the benefit of the doubt, their energy principles can only vaguely match the sensations of the Supreme Divine Law level. However, without properly absorbing the essence of Supreme Divine Laws and forming the Dao Origin, how could truly match Divine Rulers?"
Elder Heng stayed silent for a moment. All that Elder Hon said made complete sense. It didn't matter his own biases against the duo. This was a simple fact.
But even so, Elder Heng still said, "I can't possibly deny facts. However, tell me this. Just why can their energy principles directly control the atmosphere and make a clear pathway for them? This atmosphere was created from the Dao energy principles of a half-step Primal Sovereign! Much less a Divine Ruler. Even I would have trouble with this."
At this point, Elder Heng suddenly jerked as if she was shocked by lightning. 'Wait...could it actually be? Their attainment levels...?!'
N0 v el Next. CoM
Her realization was only said in her mind. But, when Elder Hon study her expression, the same ominous premonition stirred in his soul.
He wanted to deny it. However, he had to ask himself. What other possible explanation could there be?
At this time, the challenger disciples all wordlessly stared up at the fading forms of Cain and Amber.
They were aware of the disparity. They were aware that Cain and Amber could inevitably perform far better than anyone else.
But to this tremendous degree?
To a point where it seems there's no hope of ever catching up to this disparity?
Numerous challenger disciples felt their Divine Will intensely shake. Some who had hidden courage started to feel it slowly dissipate.
The ones who appeared a bit better than others were the half-step Divine Ruler core disciples. But even they felt a strange sense of emotions seeing how monstrous Cain and Amber's abilities truly are.
Sun Wei only stared up for a few seconds longer before looking down and gritting his teeth. "They don't matter. All that matter is that I get to the top!"
His fierce tone shook up Jin Bo. He similarly rid of all distracting thoughts, nearly returning to his focused, sword-like state.
"That's right. All I need to focus on is performing the best way possible to impress the Supreme Elders!"
Out of them all, only Jin Ya managed to stay calm. She was aware of Cain and Amber's outrageous feat, but still focus on spreading her soul energy.
The atmosphere pressure had already eased up on her by a considerable amount to her standards.
Jin Ya believed she can now utilize a full 20% of her Inner World power. This was approaching her limits. Her soul energy wasn't able to spread farther in her body or produce more energy principles to alleviate the Dao pressure.
But even just this amount gave Jin Ya a great sense of confidence. Her eyes opened and traces of luminous Water Law essence sparked from her pupils.
At this time, Cain and Amber were blasting toward the top of the celestial mountain. Inner World power tremendously boosts their abilities to insane degrees.
Even if the duo was using 20% of their Inner World power, they would still have enough speed to cross over dozens of miles of distance in a span of a minute!
At 50%, crossing distance equal to a country was of no worry. The duo wouldn't even worry if the time limit they had was 5 minutes at the speed they were going.
As they blitz upwards, the duo simultaneously took the time to further enhance their energy principles. Their Spiritual Sea's perception abilities gradually grew the more familiar they became with half-step Primal Sovereign Dao energy principles.
Complex thoughts and ideas they never would've thought of before slowly revealed themself in the duo's minds.
Using what was discovered and in taking from the atmosphere, the duo was able to convert more of their essence Marks into higher, complex energy principles.
The sensation of improving enthralled Cain and Amber into a mesmerizing trance. Their bodies practically moved on autopilot.
All in their gazes were the mystical lines of Dao energy principles. They appeared as colorful threads of essence with varying shapes and sizes.
The beauty of these threads was unmatched. Each of them flowed in a perfect, rhythmic pattern. As if they could never be disrupted, even if the world was coming to an end.
This was the power only known to Primal Soverigen grandmasters!
A mere half-step Primal Sovereign can only peer into this kind of power and reproduce a small portion of it.
Time seemed to not matter at all in this trance.
Before Cain and Amber knew it, they suddenly felt solid ground beneath their feet. The duo was jerked out of their trance. Looking around, they were now on a massive golden-colored platform.
Intricate runes were carved all along the platform. Each rune rippling out potent Dao energy principles sensations.
In the skies, oddly enough, there weren't any rune-created clouds.
Cain narrowed his eyes. He slowly transmitted to Amber, 'Appears that we've reached the top in no time at all. Almost a shame, really. Felt like I was close to a new boundary of understanding.'
Amber lightly snorted. 'At least we didn't have to go through any unnecessary extra steps to reach the top. Or if we did, we just went right through it. Might as well meditate on what we went through until time is up.'
There weren't any other options anyway. Cain nodded and assimilated into a meditative state at the same time as Amber.
On the outside, the surrounding crowd had all dissolved into eager discussions as they watched the light projections.
"So fast! That was just too fast! How can they still have that much power even while under such pressure?"
"They shouldn't even need to do any other test. That alone cemented them as far superior Martial talents!"
"To think that Martial Sister also has such extreme talents...they're a perfect Dao Couple!"
There wasn't any more confusion. Disciples and Elders alike were putting Cain and Amber not just on a level beyond the core disciples, but as talents completely equal to the Supreme Elder's direct disciples!
N0 v el Next. CoM
Or perhaps faintly above the Divine Decree Lords!
The future of Cloudsea Holy Land was already bright with Marital talents like Sun Wei, the direct disciples, and the Divine Decree Lords.
But now, with Cain and Amber, many started to feel as if their Holy Land can finally reach far greater heights. They could possibly reach into the Central Starfield. Or maybe become a Quasi-Heavenly Great World!
The strength Cain could possess in the far future will leave even Primal Soverigen grandmasters terrified. And the talent Amber has with Spirit energy could also make Primal Soverigen grandmasters bend their knees.
If there was any slight doubt before, that all vanished with Cain and Amber's overwhelming display.
The surrounding crowd had nearly forgotten about the other challenger disciples.
When looking over the other challengers, it was expected to see that only a few were making progress.
Ten minutes in, the half-step Divine Rulers disciples and a few other peak Divine Star disciples were floating into the air.
This was more in line with what everyone believed would've happened. However, there was one disciple who managed to make youngsters and Elders alike do a double take.
Some narrowed their eyes, not really believing what was occurring.
"Is that...just some Mid-Stage Divine Star disciple? How is she grasping Dao energy principles so quickly? Is she someone new?"
"Hmm...ah! That's right! She's the disciple who typically trains with Martial brother Lee. I believe her name was Jin Ya."
"No wonder she can actually display something like this. Martial brother Lee is a dragon among dragons. No wonder anyone who trains with him becomes much more talented."
"Yea, even Senior Martial Brother Tao, and Senior Martial Sister Wen experienced leaps of progress in their cultivation."
Though the excitement had died from Cain and Amber's performance, many were still eager to see what kind of influence Cain had spread across other disciples.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
