Reaper of the Martial World

Book 11: Chapter 59: Seek (1)

Dyon’s bloodshot eyes stared at the pile of ashes. A faint pearly light was nested within.

This was the one part of Ri’s body that he went all out to protect: her soul.

Dyon had really had no choice in this matter. He couldn’t continue allowing Ri to carry around a looming danger. He didn’t know exactly what the World Tree was planning with Ri, but its presence was absolutely unacceptable to him.

The matter he learned from the dwarves had been grating on his mind for too long. It had already been 6 years since that day, yet it was a constant shadow over his heart from start to finish.

When he realized that his theory about the ancient battlefield was correct, he knew that this was his chance to free Ri’s shackles.

The problem was that he couldn’t underestimate the World Tree. An entity that could rule a world and even send so much power through a world barrier wasn’t an opponent he could face right now. Even the weakest immortal could threaten his life, let alone an existence who stood at the pinnacle of immortals. historical

This was why Dyon acted the way he had. He didn’t have the luxury of telling his wives what was happening. The fact he even told Madeleine was something he saw as a mistake even now. He was lucky that it hadn’t impacted the end result, though he was unsure if his gamble had worked.

For the ancient battlefield’s oceans to be capable of blocking Dyon’s immortal sense, it was impossible to claim them to be normal.

There was most definitely a secret hidden below, but this wasn’t the foremost reason Dyon came here for. What he wanted was to aim for the most opportune time to make his move.

He needed three things. He needed the optimal environment, he needed his wife to be in an optimal state, and he needed the World Tree to lower its guard.

These waters were the optimal environment for two reasons. First, within the Ancient Battlefield, the barrier to the outside world was already extremely thick. This made the already difficult connection between Ri and World Tree fainter.

However, the second reason was the more poignant point. These waters had the ability to shrink Dyon’s sense range from covering universes to a mere ten thousand kilometers.

One had to remember that Dyon Immortal Sense wasn’t normal by any stretch. When Dyon only had Divine Sense, he could see hundreds, even thousands of times further than those of his soul cultivation. How could this not also be the case for his Immortal Sense?

The only reason he seemed to be only on par with others now is because crossing universe barriers is simply too difficult. Any advantage Dyon had would be snuffed in an attempt to cross a 4^th barrier. Maybe his advantages wouldn’t become clear once more until his soul continued to evolve further…

However, what was clear was that these advantages should have been more obvious in a place like this ocean.

By Dyon’s estimates, a normal 3^rd Grade World Seer wouldn’t even be capable of seeing 100 kilometers outward from their center if they were in his same position!

If even a 3^rd Grade World Seer could be suppressed like this, Dyon had the confidence that even the World Tree would be stifled!

Dyon didn’t care what level of entity you were. When it came to matters of the soul path, even if an Alchemy God descended from the skies right now, he would not lower his head.

This optimal environment dulled the senses of the World Tree to the point it couldn’t react as fast as it usually could. And this was where the second facet, Ri’s optimal state, came into being.

Using Ri’s body as a refinement cauldron was incredibly dangerous. Any resistance Ri had would lead to an unmitigated disaster. No matter how much Ri trusted Dyon, it was impossible for her to dull all of her senses completely. The best opportunity was for her to be frozen into a moment of enlightenment.

Dyon trusted in his wife’s talent. He knew that simply showing her this environment would be enough for her to break into a new realm. If it hadn’t been for Dyon’s actions, she would already be an Overlord right now!

However, this was only one of the reasons Ri had to enter this state. The more important reason was that at the instant of enlightenment, one was the most connected to the Heavens they could be. The concocting of Immortal Grade Pills was a process of snatching Heavenly Daos from the Heavens themselves, this was how Endowments came to be.

Refining Ri in this way while she was in a state of enlightenment allowed her body to swallow up heavenly daos even better than a high grade cauldron could. If the immortals of the immortal plane knew such a thing was possible, they would fall over one another in an attempt to be next in line.

Dyon simply didn’t realize the gravity of the path he just forged. What he didn’t know was that even his former pinnacle self had not managed to create such a thing. Without even knowing… He had surpassed a version of himself he didn’t even know existed yet…

These two factors together was what helped facilitate the last… The World Tree lowering its guard…

Its senses were dull… its host was separating more from it and becoming closer to the heavens… in that instant of time, its resistance was as low as it could get. As an alien to this world, how could it dare show too much of itself before the Heavens, lest it be fiercely rejected and suffer backlash?

This was the opportunity Dyon grasped to rip this pest from his wife’s body…
