Reaper of the Martial World

Book 6: Chapter 308: Down a Peg (1)

Dyon’s expression immediately became very serious. Even with his soul, it seemed he wasn’t able to see something a dao formation expert wanted to hide. If that wasn’t the case, he would have seen Elder Nova’s true cultivation long ago.

‘He’s too close to me.’ Dyon’s mind went into overdrive. He didn’t have the time to confirm whether or not Elder Nova was an enemy. For all he knew, Elder Nova was a man left behind by the Energy Path to ensure that Soul Rending Peak never rose again.

It made perfect sense too. If Elder Nova was meant to be a guardian for Soul Rending Peak, why would he be stationed at Unseen Peak?

It had to be remembered that Slaughter Peak was the Peak controlled by the Caedes family. That was why it so easily fell under the control of The Cathedral.

However, Unseen Peak was the Peak formerly controlled by the Jafari family.

Who was the family most resilient to the new order? Which family was most likely to trigger the rise of Soul Rending Peak? Was it not the Jafari family? The very same family that seemingly had a vague connection to Dyon’s grand teacher?

Wouldn’t it be smartest to send someone to monitor them?

On top of all of that, even if Dyon was willing to ignore all of that and think of Elder Nova as a friend anyway, why would he have allowed the Jafari family to be destroyed? He was stationed in Jafari clan territory, yet did nothing when The Cathedral and The Caedes family finally decided to get rid of them? Too many things didn’t add up.

Dyon knew that if Elder Nova was an enemy, he’d have no chance to survive if he let him have the initiative. He had to take advantage of the moment when he was still over confidently showing off his steady rise in power.

At that moment, Dyon threw out all of his master’s rules, pushing everything he had to the utmost limit.

The aura of a dao formation expert was completely unable to lock him down like it could have before. An added ability of his Presence was this very attribute, giving him leeway to stare down arrogantly even against the most vicious opponents.

Dyon’s wings burst from his back, radiating outward with a fierce golden light. The eight of them flapped with an unprecedented strength even as Dyon’s Demon Emperor’s Will climbed to the first stage of the second act.

In an instant, Dyon’s power multiplied by sixteen times. His skin reddened and his robes burst apart into a fiery rage of flames.

Just when Elder Nova was just beginning to notice that something might be wrong, a scene that could shock the world occurred.

The skies began to tremble as the earth below shattered.

What could only be described as an ancient land descended, hovering just below Dyon’s feet.

The piece of land couldn’t have stretched more than a dozen or so meters in every direction. In fact, it was dried and cracked, with a completely unappealing appearance.

Yet, it gave off a dangerous, primordial aura that made those that faced it tremble in terror.

Dyon’s manifestation appeared in the air, taking their breaths away.

He had matured along with Dyon, his handsome, chiseled features presented to the world in an untouchable light. The disdain in its eyes was clear for all to see, even when faced with the power of a dao formation expert, it was completely fearless.

At that moment, Elder Nova who hadn’t felt any suppression whatsoever suddenly felt that his power had dipped by almost 5%, causing his eyes to widen in shock.

However, just as he was still trying to figure out what was going on, three orbs of light appeared before Dyon.

These were none other than secret weapon of Soul Rending Peak. Dyon had taken one from Elder Bowa, the other he snatched off of the Mother’s corpse, and the last he took from the former master, Elder Ricci.

When Elder Bowa used this formation against Dyon, he directly gained the power of a middle celestial despite because a lower celestial with not even a single meridian filled completely and having terrible soul talent, so much so that he could barely utilize the formation effectively.

That wasn’t all either. The central power of this formation was located within Soul Rending Peak itself. That meant that the power diminished the further from the sect you traveled, yet they were able to give Elder Bowa that large of a boost despite being in an asteroid belt located millions of miles away!

Now, not only was Dyon less than ten miles from Soul Rending Peak, his soul talent far outstripped Elder Bowa’s to the point where he could control all three remaining formation cores at once!

The instant those three formation cores appeared, the suppression Elder Nova was experiencing increased from barely 5% to almost 20%!

The moment Dyon activated all three formation cores at once, his stamina depleted to nearly 0. By all rights, he shouldn’t have had any business continuing to use so many formation cores at once, but that was when the Energy Core began to spin viciously.

The pace Dyon lost soul energy at was being recovered so quickly that it was almost as though he hadn’t lost any to begin with. Dyon’s soul was so powerful and robust that it could withstand the Energy Core’s pace.

There was no question that the mightiness of the treasures of the 33 heavens was about to make their presence known.
