Reaper of the Martial World

Book 10: Chapter 137: Struck (1)

“Hey Little Chibi, don’t be like this. Big brother is sorry.” historical

Dyon couldn’t help but tease the little cauldron as he casually wiped out another Universe Spirit’s trial.

The foundations of Alliances were simply too weak to face him. There was a reason the Sapientia were so feared despite having less quadrants under their control in comparison to the Nephilim Alliance.

One could consider an Alliance like an impure ore, while a Clan like the Sapientia was forged and tempered steel. They might theoretically have the same Faith per universe conquered, but the Faith of Alliances were brittle.

This allowed Dyon to target weak universe first, chipping away at their Faith, before targeting the now weakened stronger universes.

Of course, Dyon was still mindful of ensuring key universes took hold of milestones for his Sacharro Clan. This only took a bit more effort.

With Hell’s Right Eye by his side, Dyon could travel between universes in mere minutes. With his current means, travelling from one edge of the Mortal Plane to another might take a handful of days at most, if that. So this process had become as easy as flipping over a hand. Who would have known that a mighty Outer Power would fall like this?

This was all to say that though Dyon could target the weak points of an Alliance, a Clan like the Sapientia didn’t have such weaknesses.

Even still, Dyon didn’t fear the Sapientia. With things being like this, he might as well stop taking a backseat to the so-called Federation and take the tower quadrants for himself as well.

The Sprite Alliance controlled 96 quadrants, while the tower quadrants had 105. If Dyon conquered them all, his Sacharro Clan would become a Second Level Planet Grade Clan. Even the Sapientia were only a Third Level Planet Grade Clan.

Though the gap between such grades was obviously massive, it was no longer to the point where Dyon had to be crippled when facing their might. He’d never meet a sorry state like he had when combatting Oshire again.

However, Dyon couldn’t count his chickens before they hatched. Of those 105 quadrants, 5 of them were controlled by Dragons, the race with the most number of Higher Existences on the entire Mortal Plane. Believing that they would be easy to conquer was foolish.

The more realistic outcome was becoming a Peak First Level Planet Grade Clan. Even then, Dyon was confident. As long as he was near the Sapientia’s level, he’d take whatever they could throw at him.

Plus… Once the Ancient Battlefield descended, many would be shocked by the rule changes. Faith would become useless!

“Hmph. This Grand Aunt is ignoring you.”

“Oh… Sounds like Little Chibi doesn’t want to join me in battle anymore…” Dyon feigned a heartbroken appearance. “… In that case, I’ll just use the old lizard then…”

Little Chibi’s expression changed. It was truly adorable watching her chubby cheeks flare up in anger. Since she was a spirit, one could even see qi billowing from her pursed lips and ears.

“You dare…?!”

“Dare?” Dyon casually streaked across the skies, jumping from solar system to solar system. “… But you’re ignoring me? How could I battle like this? My heart is too broken.”

“Well glue it back together!” Little Chibi said stubbornly. “If you’re so fragile, you aren’t worthy of being this Grant Aunt’s master.”

Dyon laughed.

Little Chibi bobbed over his shoulder, her chubby face peeking out of the battle cauldron’s heavy lid as she berated him.

Dyon had little understanding of Immortal Plane treasures, but, the [Dao of Array Alchemy] had deep reflections on the Weapon’s Master path as well. It was just that Dyon had never been very interested in forging weapons, so he ignored the path. However, he did read some things from time to time when he was curious.

Birthing spirits was quite rare on the Immortal Plane as well. And, of them, there were even fewer that were naturally birthed. For example, the tower spirit of the Sage Tower was likely artificially inserted. After all, it was a mass-produced war machine, the likelihood of it birthing one naturally was obviously slim.

On the Mortal Plane, the highest weapons were known as Pseudo and True Treasures of the 33 Heavens. However, what many don’t know is that those so-called pseudo treasures were actually several grades below true Treasures of the 33 Heavens!

On the mortal plane, 10^th, 11^th and 12^th stage Supreme Grade treasures earn this pseudo title. But if one heard this ranking on the Immortal Plane, they would laugh until their inner organs hurt.

The true ranking was as follows. 10^th, 11^th and 12^th stage Supreme Grade treasures were known as Half-Step Immortal Grade treasures. After them, the true Immortal Grade was split into three grades. Venerable Treasures, Empyrean Treasures, and God Treasures. Only above God Treasure would one have the Treasures of the 33 Heavens!

It could only be said that Little Chibi was quite lucky. Being able to absorb those tribulation clouds, and thus the Heavenly Dao, was what allowed her that final breakthrough. If not, she may have never crossed over.

With this evolution, she now had the ability to evolve as long as she gained more opportunities.

For now, she was the lowest Inferior Grade Venerable Treasure – of which there is the Inferior, Medial and Superior Grades – but having birthed a spirit, she could grow stronger.  

Knowing this, Dyon decided to indulge this little Grand Aunt with a smile.
