Back in the Misty Wilderness Tribal Domain.
In front of the Spirit cave, a bright blue glow flashed out. The light only lasted for a second, and out from it came two youths; Cain and Kali.
Standing in front of the cave, Cain and Kali took a moment to adjust to their scenery. A slight sense of dizziness confused their minds.
No matter how powerful their bodily defenses were, that Spirit Energy suction force was far beyond their capabilities.
If that suction force wasn't controlled, Cain and Kali feared they wouldn't even be standing here in one piece.
At this moment, Cain and Kali decided to meditate right in front of the cave. Then, after half of a minute, all of their lingering disorientation cleared up.
"Fuu~." Kali exhaled a small sigh mixed with relief and satisfaction. "This was a greatly eventful trip. Our prowess just never stops improving. So? What's our next move? We did advance a little soo….maybe time for just a little payback?"
Even for the littlest of advancement, Kali would always have a great rush of energy course through her, pushing her to release this newfound energy to the whole world.
She especially wants to vent out against that damn Liang Tribe.
"No….at least not like this. First, let's practice with Spirit Energy so we can get the feel of using it. Then, we'll take the opportunity to advance a little bit. After this, we'll head on over to Azure Lightning City. And if we see them, we'll crush any of those Liang Tribe Captains."
Cain slowly explained. From briefly meditating, he calculated their current level of strength.
At most, Cain could face an eighth level easily while Kali could match a seventh-level Nascent Formation master.
When compared to those Liang Tribe captains, it seemed reasonable enough.
But Cain assumed that these captains would be traveling in small groups. And no matter their high combat prowess, fighting multiple people at a higher level is no easy task.
Even Kali could understand this concept. Her hopes were a little dashed, but she didn't offer up any disagreement.
She simply huffed a little, saying, "Fine, fine. Though I suppose this way, we can more easily crush them if we see them."
With their plan agreed on, the sibling duo promptly went to work. At the same time, they both sensed their internal bodies, locating their vibrant Spirit Cores.
Spirit Energy flowed into their Spirit Sense, bringing upon relaxing sensation.
Even though it was the third type of energy in their bodies, neither Cain nor Kali felt any confusion.
In the same manner, as their Qi Seed, the sibling duo seamlessly stimulated their Spirit Cores. Immediately, streams of Spirit Energy flowed out of their Spirit Cores, quickly rushing through every inch of their internal bodies.
"Mn?"
Cain and Kali's brows shot up as rich Spirit Energy powered them beyond their wildest expectations.
This sensation of power was wildly different from Qi Energy!
Whereas their Qi energy exuded an exhilarating sensation of adrenaline, Spirit Energy was akin to basking in a warm spring pool. It gave the sibling duo a serene state of mind.
At that moment, Cain and Kali raised their palms and began condensing Spirit Energy there.
Spirit Energy flowed like a stream of water through their arms and birthed upon to their palms.
'Hu~!'
Accompanying by a faint whistling sound, a small green ball of pure Spirit Energy formed upon their palms.
Cain and Kali swung their eyes open. Their gazes narrowed, inspecting every inch of the Spirit Energy ball with their eyes and senses.
"Truly as powerful as that ghost made it out to seem. But with this power…." Kali's expression turned slightly solemn. "It feels sour to say this, but I don't think we should show this off unless we got good backers. Grandmother taught me of horror stories of low-level World Spirit Force Masters being used as nothing but slaves as they're too weak to resist anything."
"Indeed. Although, I don't think we need to hide it for too long. Our Martial Talent will quickly make up for it." Cain readily agreed.
Both siblings know from their own varying experiences that envy and enmity are some of the biggest killing factors in their road to the pinnacle of strength.
It would most of the time be wiser to converse their abilities until they have absolute strength.
And as Cain spoke, he never took his eyes off from the Spirit Energy ball.
Staring intensely into the mass of Spirit Energy and bringing up Martial Talent, the gears within Cain's head started to turn. For a few seconds, he contemplated on this subject.
'If Spirit Energy never conflicts with Qi energy….then could we? I forgot to ask the ghost, but since we need Qi cultivation to even use Spirit Energy, this should be possible!' Cain's eyes glinted as he came upon this idea.
Without any hesitation, he then brought up his other palm and summoned a ball of pure Nascent Qi upon there.
"Mn? What are you planning?"
Kali curiously tilted her head at Cain's action. She only needed to think about it for a single moment before her eyes brightly sparkled.
"Say, you're attempting to combine Qi and Spirit Energy? Can-can something like this even be done? I mean, even though we're low in numbers, all World Spirit Master is equal to Qi cultivators. But then again, that ghost did say we need powerful bodies for this energy…."
Cain gave a casual shrug as he seamlessly controlled both Qi and Spirit Energies separately. "It didn't cross my mind to ask the ghost at that time. But discovering it for ourselves will be intriguing."
With his curiosity high and confidence at a moderate level, Cain proceeded on his idea. He adjusted his mind to his complete focus, not allowing for even the slightest of mishaps.
Then, very slowly, Cain began moving his hands together.
And as the Spirit and Qi energies balls became closer, it was like the air started to stagnant around Cain's hands.
Even before coming together, Kali could perceive a powerful aura slowly gathering. She watched on with rapt attention, hoping her dear brother could create another miracle.
At that moment, Cain's hands were but a mere inch from each other.
Being so close to each other, Cain felt like he had two opposite magnets in his hands. There was a natural barrier attempting to prevent these energies from combining together.
However, the barrier wasn't too strong.
Cain assumed this is probably the prelude to some hidden test in combining these two entirely different forms of energies.
This could potentially be dangerous. If he fails, who knows what kind of terrible backlash he would receive.
But despite the danger, Cain couldn't stop his growing curiosity. Moreover, he was also highly confident in his Dragon Body to tough it out. And if it really comes to worse, he still has his Chaotic Emerald and chaos energy.
Thinking about all of this, Cain pushed past any lingering hesitation.
Gripping both energies ball tightly, Cain finally meshed the Qi and Spirit Energies ball together!
"Nng! Such resistance!" Immediately, Cain felt as if he was submerging his hands into a powerful tornado.
The combination of Qi and Spirit Energies was too intense!
This combined power tore into palms, shredding them like tofus, causing dark red blood to spew out into the winds.
The combined didn't even stop there. It rampages right through Cain's palm, tearing all the way through his arms! Soon enough, dark red blood seeped through Cain's sleeves.
Under this razor-piercing pain, Cain forcefully gritted his teeth.
Red veins began to bulge on his forehead as he suppressed the hellish pain, trying to forcefully break past this barrier of combined energy.
"Cain! Do you really need to go so far? Obviously, we're too weak for it!" Kali shouted to Cain but didn't try forcefully stopping him.
She felt as if she tried to do so, that combined power would only implode in his face, severely harming him even more.
In this instance, Kali felt her mind turn increasingly panic-stricken. She tried to come up with any idea to stop this stubborn process.
However, before either Kali or Cain knew it, a sudden change occurred within Cain's veins.
As if it could perceive Cain's troubles, Chaos Energy suddenly tumbled Cain's Qi Veins and rushed right towards his palms!
'Ka-Cha!'
The barrier preventing the energies combination instantly shattered like fragile glass under the might of Chaos Energy!
Against Chaos Energy, nothing can withstand its powerful might. This was a power that had its own sets of rules, defying the Heavens and common sense!
'Bang!'
And at that moment, a powerful energy shockwave tore into the air.
For miles, the air truly turned stagnant, and a heavy pressure descended upon the air as a new type of power emitted from Cain's palm.
"This….this power! Ah! I'm sweating just being nearby! How do you feel, Cain?"
Kali furrowed her brows while asking. Tiny beads of sweat dripped down her foreheads, and her breathing was slightly hitched.
In her base form, bearing against this incredible power pressured proved a bit difficult.
Is this really the power of combining both Qi and Spirit Energies?
The power output is insane!
At that moment, Kali couldn't understand why more World Spirit Master attempt to do this.
This power could sweep away anything if one is at a Godly level!
"Haah~."
Cain took a slight breath while staring into his palms. Now there was only a single ball of combined Spirit and Qi energies.
This energy ball looked amazingly whimsical. It was a beautifully blended mash of green and dark blue, creating a radiant look. The surface of the ball was warm to touch and had a certain level of weight behind it.
With this amount of power in his hand, Cain felt like he could instantly kill an eighth-level Nascent Formation master without his Draconic Aura!
In this instance, Cain didn't have the time to respond to Kali. Instead, he focused on controlling the combined energy ball, perceiving the hidden layers of comprehension properties behind it.
These comprehension properties are what Cain would perceive when absorbing any Qi or Spirit Energy on their own.
But before Cain could get far, he was suddenly struck with a considerable wave of fatigue.
His eyes widened, and Cain quickly dispersed the combined energy ball.
When the combined energy ball dispersed, the air returned to normal, and the massive pressure vanished without a trace.
