Reaper of the Martial World

Book 8: Chapter 41: Five Species (2)

The Seal could only be described as an absolute work of art… A result of a refined level of craftsmanship that simply didn’t belong on the mortal planes. If the immortal puppets of the demon sage tower could be so enticing, this scene was many times more so.

It looked like the inner workings of a complex clock. In fact, it couldn’t be described so simply… historical

If one tore open the bounds of space of time and reached the end and beginning of everything, Dyon imagined that the scene before you wouldn’t be too far from the grandeur he saw here.

Dyon shook his head, forcing himself to regain focus. The moment he took action, he noticed that the blue whales had turned their full and undivided attention toward him. In fact, Dyon felt that even though the distance between him and them was over several thousand miles, a single tail flick would bring them to his side. For creatures so big, did such a distance even mean anything?

Dyon began pouring his soul qi outward with impunity. The waves of the ocean were threatening to crash down around him and his voice was showing signs of giving out, but he kept fighting.

The golden yacht taught him something very important. Although the cold qi could affect his treasures, and by proxy, himself, it took time to do so. Since the golden yacht was a supreme grade treasure, the time needed was very large. But, wasn’t The Seal even above that?

Dyon felt the cold qi crashing into his soul as he filled the seal. Ri did her best to siphon it away, alleviating the pressure on him to a great extent.

Even if the process of cold qi invasion was much slower when using a treasure as a barrier, weren’t both Dyon and Ri far closer to the blue whales than they had been before? If it wasn’t a treasure of the 33 heavens being used as a barrier, Dyon would have frozen to death in an instant!

Dyon took advantage of the fact his voice was keeping the water away from him, tapping into his Holy Type qi to repair his sheering vocal cords.

He continued to push, refining the commands he wanted to send and fueling The Seal.

Dyon was very confident. He had comprehended the whole of the beast compendium to the circle of perfection. How? Because he used the Soul Tome to do so.

Now that his soul was within the dao realm, he could instantly and perfectly comprehend divine grade techniques and their equivalents. He had long since completed this long before he left the soul tome with the Title Spirits!

The blue whales grew more restless as time passed on. Their intelligence wasn’t very high as mere common grade beasts, but they could feel an overwhelming threat coming from the seal.

However, the problem they faced was two-fold.

Since their intelligence was so low, the threat coming from The Seal was overwhelming enough for their fear to get the better of them.

Secondly, wasn’t Dyon’s wife a supreme grade beast?

The moment Ri decided to go all out, her ten tails flailed out behind her.

In the next instant, they turned as dark as night. Her expression became vicious and suffused with killing intent as her beautiful silver-blue hair became akin to depths of space.

Her sinister aura far overshadowed the presence of the blue whales. They were completely unable to fight back.

This was all Dyon needed to understand that these blue whales weren’t King beasts. And, even if they were, their resistance would still be minimal.

Dyon’s confidence swelled.

His Presence pushed outward, locking onto the colony of 12. As expected. Since Presence was rooted in the body, it was effective!

This was the final straw. All resistance completely collapsed. The worried of Ri and Dyon seemed ridiculous now. No matter what amazing evolution these beasts had undergone, they were still common grade beasts. In the face of this sort of display, they were unaware of just how powerful they truly were.

It was Dyon’s blessing, and their disgrace, that Earth’s energy density was so low…. Who knew how powerful these beasts would be if they were able to truly cultivate?

Dyon’s eyes flashed. He was ready.

Dyon began the adjustments necessary to make use of the beast compendium, also known as the 7 classifications in the mortal realm: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and finally, Species.

The more of the 7 classifications Dyon had and refined into the seal, the higher the chances of success. If all 7 were had, that was when the 80% success rate was reached. However, something was telling Dyon that using The Seal against mere common grade beasts couldn’t possible have such a large margin for failure.

Suddenly, Dyon’s brow twitched. ‘Not good.’

His teeth grit with resolve.

He had taken the opportunity provided by The Seal to spread his divine sense out. Due to that, he could very clearly sense fluctuations in the ocean’s currents that definitely weren’t due to himself. The warrior colony had likely called for help, and it was on its way.

Only creatures as large as these blue whales could cause such changes in the ocean currents from so far out.

Dyon unleashed his seal ahead of time, having no other choice. In the end, he had only managed to lock in 3 classifications. Whether it succeeded or not would be completely up to chance.
