Reaper of the Martial World

Book 7: Chapter 236: 108 Comets (3)

Dyon’s swords spun elegantly in the air, trapping all five Golden Crow Sect celestials in a tight formation that leaked not a single opening. His sword qi was so sharp that they were forced to be on guard, not daring to be neglectful.

At first, they believed that such a formation couldn’t be held for long. The drain on one’s soul would be monumental. But, when they noticed Dyon casually waving his hands without a hint of strain on his face, they couldn’t help but panic slightly. If Dyon was alone, they could forcibly break out of this formation, however what truly made this formation impenetrable were the actions of the beasts.

Dyon and his beast companions moved as one. Whenever it seemed as though one might slip out, Shere and Sen would immediately react. Topping this off with the harassment tactics of Biibi and the formation was practically perfect.

Hearing the agonizing screams of their inner disciples as Madeleine handled them one after another caused the five of them to realize that they had to take out Dyon no matter what. Unfortunately for them, even when they forcibly ignored escaping and the wounds the sword formation gave them to attack Dyon, they found the stone wall that was Linlin, expertly manipulating a silver hexagonal shield.

In the beginning, Linlin’s comprehension of defensive formations was already otherworldly. When coupled with the absolute offensive formation that Dyon’s sword formation employed and the 3^rd stage supreme grade treasure, it was enough to give these five high ranking celestials a headache. Even though their lives weren’t in any immediate danger, they understood that they couldn’t continue this for long.

‘Tch,’ Dyon frowned, displeased with himself. If he could bring out the full power of this [108 Heavenly Comets] formation, these five would have long since died. Even if there were twenty of them of the same strength they would have still suffered silently in death. However, the sword avatar was the only of the 9 true weapon will avatars Dyon didn’t fight personally. Although his mask somehow forcibly gifted him the comprehension he sought, the knowledge wasn’t his own yet…

‘I can barely use a single percent of this formation. I should have spent more time with this. Still, this is the best delaying tactic I have. When Madeleine comes, the pressure will be too much for them to handle.’

The [108 Heavenly Comets] was actually only the first and weakest part of this formation. It was supposed to be the outer ring of the formation while the core was made up of the [12 Heavenly Moons], [9 Heavenly Planets] and [Three Heavenly Stars]. Together, they created a nigh undefeatable attack formation.

Truth be told, using this formation hardly put any burden on Dyon at all. The issue was that he didn’t understand its hidden and underlying mysteries just yet, so he could only use it in such a crude way.

“Hmph,” Dyon snorted, “Since one formation is lacking, try three!”

Under the unsightly expressions of the five disciples, 218 more swords flew from Dyon’s weapon’s pagoda, each with the exact same half-step supreme grade aura!

Dyon charged into the formation. The pressure on him was too small, meaning that he wasn’t squeezing out his potential properly. He’d fight God Goldeen personally!

With a single flap of his wings, Dyon appeared before the enraged Christian III, his fist careening forward.

BOOM!

Unexpectedly, Dyon was forced backward. Stumbling slightly through the air to mitigate the force.

“To think that you’d come here! You’re nothing but a saint! DIE!”

The four Scions leaped forward, trying to take advantage of Dyon entering the formation. However, it was at that time that 218 of the swords turned on them, forcibly cutting them off from Dyon and Christian III and splitting that battlefield in two. historical

A vicious light shone in Dyon’s eye. “[Titan Emperor’s Will Act One: Stage One]”

Just as Dyon’s body was about to explode in size, brilliant and complex formation that moved about like gears appeared in his eyes.

“[Weaken].” With a thought, Dyon activated the [weaken] degree of freedom, halving the power of this first stage to a 10x multiplier. Instantly, Dyon found it incredibly easy to grasp the perfection of this stage.

“[Perfection]…”

Dyon’s body condensed. His skin glowing like beautiful diamonds. Even with his royal blue armor, his body itself outshone its illusory defenses. He looked absolute dazzling.

A sudden comprehension overcame him. Titan Emperor’s Will supplemented the abilities of his constitution perfectly. Just like the techniques of the aurora and mind’s eye became so perfect that the heavens passed it on after his grand teacher created them, Dyon suspected that the Titan Diamond Body was once also a technique… This very Titan Emperor’s Will technique!

In the time Dyon spent activating and comprehending this new understanding, God Goldeen’s attack had already arrived before him.

Dyon suddenly felt that all the power in the world was in his body. Even his black wings had become coated in beautiful diamond scales.

Without even a technique, his fist met God Goldeen’s. Christian III, who had attacked as soon as Dyon showed an opening, hadn’t used a technique either, thinking that he could easily kill Dyon with his superior cultivation. It was obvious to him that Dyon couldn’t use that martial technique he used earlier continuously, or else they would have been finished. Unfortunately, this would cause him to suffer a loss.

Dyon’s fists met his. In an instant, he felt the bones in his arms fracture as he flew backward into crowd of swords.

Just as Dyon was thinking of pursuing, the loud cry of an awakening beast shook the red skies.

Madeleine, who had just crippled all of her opponents had floated to Linlin’s back. However, her features weren’t relaxed at all as she looked toward the awakening Flame Sprite. Soon, they’d have to face a Sprite wielding a Pseudo-Dao Flame…
