Reaper of the Martial World

Book 8: Chapter 55: Preparations (1)

Dyon appeared above an ocean that seemed to stretch to infinity with Ri in his arms. After sweeping his eyes for a moment, he easily found the location of the hidden planet grade teleportation array he had set here.

He descended upon it after shattering the Water Mist Sect teleportation station without an ounce of hesitation.

His mind worked quickly, thinking of an action plan.

Dyon had prepared long ago for the prospect of his plans going awry. The only way to stop the Jafari Clan treasure while it was completing its task was to interfere with it directly. This was what made it so fearsome. Nothing even a Higher Existence could do could stop the process unless they found the core.

However, with this came a weakness as well. The fluctuations of time and spatial qi were incredibly easy for a high-level expert to lock down on. This meant that locating where Dyon hid the treasure was a simple task for his enemies.

Usually, the barrier between universes would stop these fluctuations from reaching others. But, obviously, Dark Ocean was a special case. With its fusion of 30 universes, the fluctuations were more exaggerated than usual. This actually allowed Aritzia to detect them despite the fact that there was no Sapientia Tower here.

There were three things that occurred as the treasure prepared. It refined the timeless and spaceless stones, but it also created an anchor. This anchor would have to be rooted deeply within the universe itself. As such, it required tearing through the fabric of the universe to reach its core. This process resulted in the excessive release of Gama Energy.

Gama Energy was something Dyon was quite familiar with since he relied upon it to temper his meridians when he was in the Meridian Formation Realm. It was short for ‘amalgamation’ and represented the culmination of all qis a universe could produce.

So, by now, it was quite obvious why this situation was different from others to the point of alerting Aritzia. Because these 30 universes were fused, the Gama qi was 30 times larger and as such, the universe barriers couldn’t stop it from leaking through.

This was unfortunate, but it was a risk Dyon had been aware of from the beginning.

Did he regret his actions? Maybe because of the results, yes. But, as a ruler of a people of his own, regret wasn’t an emotion he had the luxury of dwelling within. There was no room for it. There was only room for solutions.

‘Since the fusion of these universes was a weakness of mine, it’s time to make it my strength.’

Dyon felt the calmness he was experiencing now made his thoughts far clearer. Even his thinking speed was greatly accelerated.

Stepping upon the hidden teleportation array, Dyon activated it and appeared with the Rainbow Kun Peng Clan in an instant. With a wave of his hand, the connection between the teleportation arrays was disconnected.

Why could dao experts cross a universe in just a few days? It wasn’t because their speed was that exaggerated. Or, rather, it was, but for very specific reasons.

Space is a vacuum. Friction is nonexistence. There was no such thing as wind resistance. But, even more importantly, spatial qi is very weak, making it incredibly easy to tear space and cross large distances.

However, Dark Ocean was very different. It was the fusion of 30 universes, but what made it so fear inducing was the fact that it was filled with the amount of matter one would expect to find in several hundred universes. Thus, its spatial qi was comparable to a small planet.

One might look down on Dark Ocean because its depths were shallower than Earth’s Oceans. But that was only because its breadth was so exaggerated! If it was also as deep as Earth’s Oceans, the amount of matter necessary would be too much to fathom.

Dyon ignored the confused Kun Peng around him as he immediately began to prepare.

Dark Ocean was arranged in a six by five universe arrangement. The Rainbow Kun Peng’s base was located at its very center, meaning whoever was likely coming now would have to cross at least 3 universes worth of distance to reach Dyon.

Unfortunately, though Dyon destroyed the Water Mist Sect’s teleportation platform, he only destroyed one of them. There were countless others. He didn’t believe it was a good use of his time to find and destroy all of them because then it would be himself instead of his enemies crossing many universes worth of space.

Dyon knew that if his enemies insisted on crossing such a distance under their own power, it would take them years to reach him. However, he also knew it was wishful thinking to hope that they’d be so foolish.

In Dyon estimation, they’d likely enlist the help of a Moon Lord and set their destination for an area where the fluctuations of time, space and gama qi were the highest.

Dyon knew that a comet grade teleportation formation was enough to go anywhere in a given universe. A moon grade one allowed one to teleport anywhere within a quadrant. A planet grade one should have the ability to go anywhere on the mortal plane. Therefore, a Moon Lord would be enough for this task.

‘By their standards, it’ll take a Moon Lord they enlist at least half a month to draw an appropriate formation for their needs. But, there are three weeks until the Jafari Clan treasure is finished. And, even if it does finish, what’s the use if we’re just trapped in here with our enemies?

‘There’s only one path. And that’s to kill.’ Dyon’s calm eyes flashed with a cold light.
