BXBX NOVEL Chapter 592 No Other Option
This kind of terrifying presence from Lan Rui was certainly startling. But Lin Zui didn\'t lose his calm.
He kept up his faint smile as he said, "I will show you my proof now. As for not ensuring this news won\'t get leaked...well, even in your current realm, you can\'t instantly suppress me. Even if you could, I have innate protection from my master that I can activate with a thought. And I will only give this treasure if you agree to a soul oath."
Lan Rui coldly narrowed her eyes. Unfortunately, again, everything Lin Zui had just said was right. Her prowess can indeed exchange moves with late Divine Rulers. But it wasn\'t to a point where it could completely suppress even ordinary early Divine Rulers\'souls.
She would need to completely transcend the Divine Ruler realm for that to happen. Even Cain wouldn\'t be able to completely suppress Divine Rulers when he was in the Great Divine Sea realm.
Lan Rui\'s speed is terrifyingly quick now. But she was not faster than a Divine Ruler\'s speed of thought.
She could only stay silent in subtle agreement.
Lin Zui calmly nodded on the outside but internally sighed in relief. He felt far too close to death there!
Pushing down his personal feelings, Lin Zui opened his palm and surged a brilliant light. The light vanished to reveal a small, ordinary-looking compass.
This simply seemed like a tool even mortals would use. The only special thing was a faint hue of green glinting in the compass\'s center.
Such an ordinary appearance wasn\'t regarded by Lan Rui at all. Her eyes open completely wide. In her Divine Sense was a certain sensation permeating.
This sensation felt completely beautiful. Endless life could spring from the slightest bit of this essence. Worlds can bloom and the heavens can form.
Life needs this essence. No, not just need it. It was more accurate to say that all of life stemmed from this essence!
Lan Rui experienced all of this from just a faint sensation of this compass\'s aura. She had instantly identified the origin of the compass. There was a slight quiver in her voice as she slowly said, "It really\'s true...it really\'s true. That\'s the life vein root aura, the laws of Life! We\'ve been searching for so long. And only now was it found..."
Emotions swelled within her. Even with her fortified state of mind, Lan Rui found it a bit troublesome to keep her face in check.
Lin Zui didn\'t beat around the bush as he studied Lan Rui\'s reactions. He directly asked, "So? Will you agree to the soul oath?"
Lan Rui suddenly froze. Questions began rapidly filling her mind. So much about this situation seems suspicious and completely fishy.
The ball was truly in Lin Zui\'s court. She couldn\'t force the treasure from Lin Zui\'s hand and even if she were to tell her master of this development, she would have no concrete proof to prove her words without Lin Zui\'s assistance.
Her only option was to accept the soul oath if she wanted to make a change for her master. Everything about her mind stayed swirled in situations.
But among her thoughts, one of them stood out from the rest.
\'Yes...indeed...if it\'s him, he can navigate a place crawling with Holy Kings. And martial brother is an adventurous person. At the very least, the thought of going on a mission would entice him. If it doesn\'t, then I can...\' Lan Rui\'s thoughts nearly became eccentric. But there weren\'t any feelings of rejection or disgust from her soul.
Shaking her head of fantastical thoughts, Lan Rui finally sighed after a few moments of heavy contemplation. "Alright, fine. I agree to make the soul oath. But, I will not just agree to anything. We will need to the discussion terms at the very least."
The fact she had to do this to help her master\'s life left a bad taste in Lan Rui\'s mouth. Her impression of Lin Zui dropped to a lower point than what it was before.
But to her credit, her expression and Divine Aura stayed completely calm.
"Of course we can discuss. We all simply want the betterment of our Holy Land." Lin Zui slightly smiled.
Lan Rui internally scowled. Yet she was also full of hope. Perhaps this could finally be the path she was looking for several years already.
...
Inside Cain\'s royal courtyard.
A mystical sensation permeated every inch of the courtyard. It was unfathomable. Just a wisp of it can suppress any weaker being\'s bloodline.
It wouldn\'t matter how powerful that cultivator would be. Their bloodlines would feel absolutely inferior.
The weaker folks would collapse directly to their knees. Even the forces of the universe were seemingly suppressed under this mystical sensation.
This was the complete noble prestige of a Divine Tier bloodline. A force blessed by the universe itself. It was quite literally meant to stand above all, stand as the sole ruler of everything else.
And yet, this bloodline prestige stayed contained. A barrier concealed its unfathomable power. No matter how high the bloodline suppression was, it was impossible to escape the laws of this invisible barrier.
Of course, the only people who could unleash such a prestige force from their bloodline were the celestial dragons Cain and Yulong.
The duo was dual cultivating their bloodlines as per usual. But there was a distinct difference this time.
Amber wasn\'t even present in the courtyard. Her disappearance could be seen as a subtle way to give the duo their alone time.
Yulong was never a shy or reserved type of girl. She had Cain\'s arms nestled right in between her the soft mounds on her chest. Her head rested comfortably on Cain\'s shoulder.
Bliss filled her mind. Even the dragon phantom exuding from her body appeared completely serene under the wings of a higher-tier dragon.
Cain similarly let his mind rest at ease. The pleasurable, soft, pillowy feeling engulfing his arms sent slight tingles down his spine.
The sensations of his bloodline became noticeably more clearer from also initiating such intimate contact with Yulong. Even his dragon phantom appeared to be more real than in the past.
The dragon duo felt entirely comfortable in each other presence. As if there was something more subtle connecting them beyond mortal sense.
This was the mystical effect of cultivation. All cultivation draws from the same source. And when cultivators study this underlying foundation, there is an indescribable link that flowed each and every cultivator.
Cultivating together brings out this link in full force. But of course, this was a bit of a rarity among cultivators. There still needs to be some sort of mental connection between the cultivators.
Luckily for Cain and Yulong, they felt the connection aspect in several ways. Their presence can truly link to each other without any problem.
At this time, after a few hours of dual cultivating like this, Yulong causally spoke up, "You know? By now, you should be able to cover most of your body with dragon scales. Your prowess already defies all logic. But with that? Your striking and defensive power will amplify even more!"
"Really now? The power of these dragon scales and our bloodline, for that matter, had always intrigued me. I\'m assuming dragon scales and a dragon transformation are common among all dragons?" Cain curiously asked.
Despite coming from a Dragon family, Cain had yet to see a full-fledged dragon. He even doubted if his other siblings besides Kali can become a full-fledged Dragon.
"Mn. Well, not every type of dragon." Yulong slowly shook her head. "Natural-born dragons can only stay in their beastly form and generally have far lower martial talent and combat prowess compared to others. This also goes true for species that mix their bloodline with dragons. They would only have a humanoid form and be unable to transform into a true dragon because of their low bloodline purity. None of this is an issue for us, however. Any Divine Tier dragon bloodline can make full use of its abilities and laws!"
At this point, Yulong\'s tone turned a bit smug. "They always say that Crimson Thunder and the Faith Great Worlds are the top organizations across the God Galaxy. But really, that spot should go to my Dark Dragon Great World! Both Crimson Thunder and Divine Faith Great Worlds wouldn\'t dare to mess with us. Even if it\'s just for causal reasons. Our bloodline already gives us superior cultivation speed. Plus, our combat prowess practically makes us invincible in the same boundary. Absolutely no one would dare disrespect our Great World."
"Is that right?" Even Cain felt a bit moved. "So your entire Great World is just filled to the brim with Divine Tier dragons?"
"Ah, well, I wouldn\'t say completely filled." Yulong wryly smiled. "The among of peak Heavenly Tier bloodlines is far more than the average Divine Tier bloodline. But even so, every Divine Tier bloodline dragon is greatly nurtured by us. They all grow up to be terrifying cultivators who will leave their mark on history."
