Reaper of the Martial World

Book 11: Chapter 50: Crux (1)

“Stop sneering and tell us directly.” Valen lost his temper.

He had felt so stifled over the last several decades. When his life began, he was already written in as the hope of the Mist Clan. It was he was supposed to enter the Ancient Battlefield and bring glory to them. But… Dyon happened.

He had endured for so many years, waiting for his moment, only to realize it probably would never come. This was too infuriating.

Now, one of Dyon’s slaves dared sneer at him? It was taking everything in his power to not slap Aki to death.

Unfortunately, he soon realized after this thought that Aki was several times more powerful than he was. Because of the Mist Clan trying to keep Dyon’s prying eyes away, they refused much of resources using various pretexts. As a result, Valen didn’t improve nearly as quickly as he could have…

While Aki was a Peak Dao Expert, he was still a Middle Dao Expert…

However, his words had already been said. Even facing the pressure of Aki’s gaze, he could only swallow the rest of what he wanted to say.

“The void tunnels of my Void Clan take years to build, so they obviously can’t casually be destroyed either. There’re definitely still standing. I wouldn’t be wrong about something like this.”

If it wasn’t for void tunnels lingering far beyond their period of use, how could Head Void ever have made it back to Dyon’s home planet years after Saru finished using it?

One had to remember the void tunnels were the very reason Saru managed to make it to Dyon’s home in any sort of reasonable time. If not for them, she would have been well into her 20s or even 30s by the time she made it. If that happened, how then could she have been just a little girl when Dyon met her?

“Aki, we need a void tunnel that can deliver us outside of Mortal Empire territory.” Anak said straightforwardly. “I won’t say too much else.”

Anak knew that Aki hated Dyon with every fiber of his being. However, if he made it too obvious they were doing this to go against Dyon, Aki’s seal would trigger. If that happened, Dyon would be informed and everything would be for naught.

Aki’s eyes narrowed. The moment these three had come to ask him these questions, he had been aware of their purpose, he wasn’t a fool.

“Using those void tunnels is dangerous.” Aki said plainly. “Emperor Sacharro used the Jafari Clan treasure to change the positions of the universes. In some cases they were brought closer together, in others, further apart.

“He even used the Sage Tower to reposition the universes themselves to produce the best defensive formations there could be.

“On top of all of this, haven’t you noticed the drastic changes in the stars in the skies? Haven’t you noticed that there are far fewer of them than there had been in the past? You can imagine that if Emperor Sacharro has the power to move universes, what do mere stars mean to him?”

Aside from Anak, Chrysanthemum and Valen paled visibly.

Wasn’t this the stuff of fantasy and fairy tales? How could a man change the position of a universe?

“In case you need me to spell it out for you, the study maps becomes incredibly complex when the scope of the universe is taken into consideration. It becomes even more complex when a large time factor is added.

“Not only do moons have orbits, but planets, stars, galaxies, galaxy clusters and even universe within quadrants and quadrants themselves have orbits.

“In order to find the locations of things in such a vast place, one must calculate each one of these variables, not a single one can be out of place, not to mention taking into account the birth of new celestials bodies and the deaths of old ones. Why is it do you think that universe spirits are so difficult to find?

“You’re asking me to pinpoint the location of a void tunnel when the Emperor of the Empire you reside in can change the position of stars on a whim. To make it worse, not only is he changing their positions, but in many cases, he’s clustering the ones he doesn’t absorb together to give invading forces as little points of reference as possible.

“Even if one managed to infiltrate the barrier of space and time that protects these universes, could they even find a target to attack?

“Even if you’re a Higher Existence, how many million miles of black space can you see across? What if millions of miles became millions of light years? You three simply don’t understand the scope Emperor Sacharro is working on. He is the only man born in this era that doesn’t take the title of True God as an exaggeration.

“You tell me.” Aki sneered once more. “How am I supposed to find the location of this void tunnel for you?”

Chrysanthemum and Valen felt a trembling down the core of their souls.

It was true, they never really understood the kind of enemy they were going up against. A man who could become the Emperor of a Planet Grade Empire without even being 300 years old wasn’t something they could imagine.

Only Anak smiled at these words with a teasing expression.

“You’ve already said so much… But why is it that I feel you have a solution already?”
