The Chaos Dragon Prince
Chapter 828 Martial Core



For a moment, Cain suddenly thought about the novels in his previous life. Those short arcs where a good amount of time was spent on auctions, concerning who was coming and what was being brought on stage. 

Perhaps if Cain was in the mortal realms or even before his Divine Ruler ascension, he would've treated the auction more seriously. 

But current Cain had very high standards. He needed it as his Inner World cultivation is utterly unfathomable at this point. 

He and Kali need the very best of Inner World resources in order to keep their Inner Worlds thriving. 

It's why Kali as well didn't treat this auction too seriously. Only watching on with an amused glance. Luo Na was as calm as ever when faced with a divine auction. 

While Empress Kui didn't dare to make any bid on her own. She watched the trio's reaction, fully intending on supporting whatever they bid they might want to make. 

The auction smoothly continues on. 

Various special resources were going at extremely high bids. And when it concerns the more unique weapons or resources, the great geniuses with immense backgrounds would battle with each other. 

Nothing of the sort truly caught Cain, Kali, or Luo Na's interest. 

That is until some time in the auction, the masked maiden brought a beautiful crystal that sparkled with several sources of majestic Dao lights. 

The sparkling crystal emitted this soul-stunning gleam. The Dao principles exuding out was calling to everyone's soul. 

"This crystal!" Many across the general audience area and VIP section widened their eyes at this majestic crystal. Some directly stood up to their feet. 

The masked maiden elegantly covered her small, cute lips, giving an angelic laugh that soothed the souls. "Fufu~! It seems dear guests are quite knowledgeable about this item. Indeed, this a martial core of an amazing genius who was but a mere small step away from reaching half-step True Divinity, nearly becoming a Demi-God. He is one the special type of geniuses who managed to comprehend, not just two, not just three, but several sources of Great Dao Laws! His attainment levels were unfathomably high and if would have become a Demi-God, his chances of reaching True Divinity would have similarly been unfathomably high."

"Such an origin?!" 

Many, even the peak Heavenly Venerates couldn't believe their eyes! 

Just how difficult it was to comprehend more than three Dao Laws? 

Just how difficult it is to even reach Perfect Stage Heavenly Venerate? 

Just how difficult it is to simply become a Demi-God? 

All of this was the same as mortals trying to reach the high heavens with their own two feet. 

Nearly impossible! 

But this past genius was only small steps away from reaching an unfathomable point in his cultivation. 

It's a massive shame that such a genius would never get to that point now. However, all other cultivators thought he was grateful enough to leave behind a martial core! 

Cain was intently studying the martial core at this time. He murmured out loud, "I think I've read about this phenomenon before. A martial core is when an expert crystalized the principles of their Dao and Inner World, keeping them in a 'fresh' state for others to comprehend, correct?" 

Empress Kui nodded, a glint similarly surging in her eyes. "That's right. Only masters with extremely high attainment levels and deep insights into the Great Dao can perform something like this. Anyone who can attain this will have tremendous help on their Dao paths! Even if the principles inside this core aren't the Dao Law they're cultivating."

Greed burst through Cain, Kali, and Luo Na's souls. They truly need to gain something amazing like this! 

Their attainment level is but a step away from truly breaking through to the next stage. All they need is that certain push. That inspiration that can forever broaden their divine minds beyond belief. 

The trio's minds were made up. No matter who they're against, they will obtain this martial core! 

It was at this time that three thunderous voices explosively boomed from three VIP stands. 

"Five million Star Crystal Beads!" The fiery voice of Emperor Vast boomed across the chambers. 

The heat in his tone was horrifyingly extreme, powerful to the point where late stage King Grandmasters broke out in cold sweat. They all gave up any thought of competing near instantly. 

"Six million Star Crystal Beads!" The dignified voice of Emperor Spear rippled across the world. 

His tone left zero room for refusal, exuding a piercing power that horrified many grandmaster souls. Even middle stage Emperor Grandmaster felt beads of cold sweat rolling down their faces. They lost all courage to compete. 

"Seven million Star Crystal Beads!" The sharp voice of Empress Sword filled the atmosphere.

Her tone alone cut down any opposition. The deadly edge of a divine sword was seemingly pressed on my grandmasters' necks. Middle Stage Emperor Grandmaster violently quivered. They felt facing a draconic beast would be easier than going against Empress Sword. 

'Damn! The top Supreme Emperors are going to compete!' 

'Shit...now all we can do is shut up and watch...' 

The other genius grandmasters were internally spewing out their frustrations. But obviously, not a single person was daring enough to speak up. 

The Heavenly Venerates were similarly watching on with a cold gaze. They may hold the power to flatten these Supreme Emperors into space dust. 

But not a single one really dared to offend anyone of them. Less they want the behemoths of the top three of the already top seven sects breathing down their necks. 

At this time, when announcing their bids, the three Supreme Emperors briefly paused. 

Numerous thoughts flashed through their minds. 

And it was Emperor Vast who broke the brief silence, loudly erupting in laughter. "Haha! Well, well? It seems fellow Emperors and Empress are really interested in this core. Are you sure you want to fight this battle? Perhaps there may be something better suited for the both of you." 

"Perhaps there will be." Empress Sword's lips curled into a majestic grin. "But perhaps this may be the best suited for me. I am willing to fight this battle."

"I will not let this go." Emperor Spear simply said. 

The tension between the three of them shot through the roof. The anticipation instantly climbed high into the air. 

One of them was about to shout out another bid. 

But it was at this time that a new voice, one rippling with supreme confidence, an unyielding will to never back down, storm the entire world. 

"Four Trillion Star Crystal Beads!" 

It was Cain's voice that smashed into everyone's ears! 

All fell silent for a short moment. Even the masked maiden on stage blinked at the bold declaration. 

A moment later, eyes were intently gathering onto the Lightning-Destruction sect VIP stand. 

"Th-that voice! It's him? He's even going so far as to offend the Supreme Emperors again?" 

"There wasn't even a discussion. He just went straight for it!" 

No matter how foolish it was to offend or how rash the decision seem, many couldn't help but admire Cain's seemingly endless supply of courage. This was a genius that truly wouldn't bend to no man. 

"Annoying brat!" Emperor Vast's eyes gleamed with blazing fiery Dao lights! 

The Dao aura sweeping through his chambers would melt stars and planets to tiny ashes.

He could only focus his killing intent on Cain. But even so, many others would crumble beneath this mind pressure.
