Reaper of the Martial World

Book 10: Chapter 69: Claim (3)

No matter how those of the 99 universes begged and pleaded, the end result was the very same.

Two Clan Heads and one Sect Master beaten and bloodied, unable to raise even a single finger as a young man and a dragon loomed high in the skies.

“Father…” Prince Nova felt a burning rage in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. Would he have to watch his father die here before him?

Head Nova looked up at Dyon as sighed, unable to say anything. It was only Master Ores who sneered in the end.

“You’ve proven nothing. It’s still very clear that your strongest strength isn’t your soul path.”

Many understood what he meant. After all, Chenglei killed Head Ceres in a single strike, but took several days to defeat him alone just using his soul. Still… Those undead skeletons… truly filled them with fear…

“Oh? You’re really ignorant.” Dyon laughed. “I am a beast tamer, and he is my partner. Are you aware of how a beast comes under the control of a man?”

Master Ores’ face contorted.

“It seems you understand. Obviously, one must subdue their soul. If my Soul wasn’t strong enough, he would have never been here in the first place! Fool.”

Of course, Dyon’s relationship with Chenglei hadn’t actually started like this, but they didn’t need to know that.

“Anyway. It’s been fun!” Dyon waved turning to leave as he sat upon Chenglei’s head.

The three Heads were stunned. Dyon was… Letting them live?

In Dyon’s mind, however, this was only natural. His future plans would be troublesome if their powers were taken over by others. Though it seemed Chenglei lost his temper when he killed Head Ceres, that was actually just a bit of acting on their parts. Head Ceres’ death just made things more convenient.

“Oh, I almost forgot.” Dyon suddenly paused, causing the hearts of those three who had just felt relief to constrict once more.

“I heard an interesting story from a man who called himself Yuhan Nova. I’m sure you’ve heard of him?”

Head Nova frowned. “… He… Is my younger brother…”

“Ah, what a coincidence, what a coincidence.” Dyon nodded. “He was imprisoned by an elder of mine a few decades ago. We used various means to extract information from him, but we came across a lot of useless things…. Though, some was useful, in some sense.”

Head Nova’s jaw clenched, unable to understand Dyon’s purpose. Was he trying to make him lose his temper and attack so he had the justification to kill him?

“For example, I learned that the Sona Clan’s namesake has roots in an ancient language. Some translations have it as meaning ‘to end’. But, ironically, others have it as meaning ‘endless’. I believe that the sound path Core Teachings of the Sona Clan follow this latter principle very closely, hm?”

Dyon’s words were almost nonsensical, but for some reason, those below couldn’t stop themselves from listening… from wanting to hear more…

“I wonder why then… this Profound Resonance Bell feels so familiar to me.” Dyon said absentmindedly.

In that instant, Master Ores turned pale as a white sheet.

Dyon turned and left within another word, but in that instant, it was no longer Head Nova who was trembling, but rather, Head Sona himself!

“You! What did you do!” Head Sona roared, forgetting his terrible injuries he looked toward Master Ores with a vicious light in his eyes.

Dyon casually strolled through the depths of the 99 universes, feeling much better.

All those decades ago, Dyon had gotten very used to battling high level experts thanks to the Sapientia Ancestor. Keeping himself sharp like this was a good thing. But, still not as good as making the 99 universes implode with just a few words.

As for the support the Sapientia might send to quell things? Dyon wasn’t worried about. Those arrays that the 24^th White Mother created had already been snatched back by him completely. There was nothing to worry about for now.

One day, he would let the Sapientia feel his rage as well.

“Just what did you do?” Chenglei asked seriously from within Dyon’s inner world.

“Oh that?” Dyon laughed. “Elder Nova wasn’t completely useless. At the very least, he never attempted to rape anybody.

“The Sona Princess that is currently in a coma is a very interesting case. I slipped into Sona Clan territory a few days ago and scanned her body, so I understood why she did the things she did.

“She has a very special constitution that allows her to use the Sona Clan’s core treasure, a pseudo weapon of the 33 heavens known as the Sona Sphere. It has the ability, theoretically, to make any strike resonate endlessly. But, using it is difficult because it places great strain on the soul. Princess Sona happened to be the only one who could use it despite having her soul crippled at birth.

“The Ceres and Profound Earth Sect wanted it, but she wasn’t an easy target. So, they took advantage of the love Yuhan and the princess shared, feeding him an aphrodisiac.

“The Princess fought back because she didn’t want to lose her virginity in that way even if she loved Yuhan, but she couldn’t bear to kill him either. I’m not sure of the details, but I’m guessing Yuhan got very close to succeeding before ultimately failing.

“When the princess woke up from those events, she found that her Primordial Yin was ‘gone’. When in reality, the Ceres Clan just used some special means to hide it from her senses, making her think Yuhan had succeeded.

“She then attempted to kill herself, not wanting to live knowing that a man she loved had done such a thing to her. But she was saved by her father in the end before she could succeed and fell into a coma.

“This ruined the plans of the Ceres and Profound Earth Sect because without her death, the Sona Sphere they stole during the supposed ‘rape’ incident would still recognize her as the owner. And, because of her special constitution, it was too difficult for them to break this ownership.”

Dyon sneered. “So many problems caused by lack of soul cultivation, yet they still dare to peddle such a trash ideology.

“They likely enlisted the help of their Ancestors to help create the Profound Resonance Bell with the Sona Sphere as its core.

“Every time someone challenges it and the bell rings, the Princess’ imprint on the Sona Sphere becomes weaker and they’re another step closer to taking it for themselves.”

Chenglei laughed. “They’re really so pathetic that they had to rely on the challenges of children to accomplish something they couldn’t?”

“It really is pathetic.” Dyon agreed. “Every time the bell is rung, it attacks your soul. The Profound Earth Sect said that anyone who couldn’t withstand it, didn’t deserve to challenge their Sect. They even shamelessly said that you must withstand the ring once for every cultivation Realm you’ve climbed.

“Shameless doesn’t begin to describe it. And what’s maybe even more sad is that they used such a treasure as the core to make another, yet the result was a treasure several grades before the original.”

“So did you take the Sona Sphere?”

Dyon shook his head. “It’s more useful to me for Head Sona to discover it’s there. I don’t particularly need it anyway. After all…”

Dyon’s gaze turned cold as he gazed toward a turbulent Nebula swirling with green, purple and blue chaotic qi. A peak celestial would die in an instant if they stood where he was standing now, and he had yet to enter the Nebula’s true range.

“… There are more valuable treasures hidden in this place. It’s time I reclaim what’s mine.”
