Reaper of the Martial World

Book 9: Chapter 89: Alone (3)

“[Devour]!”

Dyon’s soul clamped onto them all with the exception of Eve. He understood immediately that his gamble had paid off.

Without control of their minds, those influenced by infernal qi lost much of their finesse and experienced an exceptional drop-off in their thinking ability. The only way to stop Dyon’s [Devour], especially after it touched the One with Self Realm, was to defend against it with your will. The further away from Dyon you were, the less will you needed to use.

For dao experts, this should have been easy, especially considering that many of them controlled True Domains, while they would at least have a Pseudo Domain if not. This made the immediate space around Dao Experts their own miniature world, making Dyon’s [Devour] lose much of its power.

However, these 38 corrupted individuals hardly had will of their own. Chenglei had long since lost all control of his skeleton army, while Lionel didn’t even try to use his greatest advantage of Eve’s Primordial Yin.

At the same time, Eve could no longer fool Dyon. Not only had he seen through her comprehensions, he saw that the backlash from losing her virginity while practicing a technique that required chastity still had not been healed in all these years. If it wasn’t for this fact, her power would be far more devastating.

“Let him go!” Eve’s calm demeanor finally cracked. The sight of Dyon butchering her husband with endless swords and sucking the life out of him was too much. She had left behind her own little sister just so that she could stay be Lionel’s side, her love for him couldn’t be described in just a few words.

Her strength increased explosively. Much like the Demon Qilin’s patented Demon Heart could use rage to increase battle prowess, infernal qi responded similarly.

Unfortunately, it just wasn’t enough.

Dyon’s palm descended from the skies, meeting Eve’s fist. However, this time, that unbridled qi was stifled by Dyon and immediately reflected under the overbearing nature of his Silver Mirror Constitution.

“Impossible!”

But, the white flames that coated Dyon’s palm told a different story.

“Surrender.” Dyon’s palm descended once more, pushing Eve back again.

Lightning and black flames cracked along Dyon’s magnificent wings. It was as though a God was bearing down upon her, forcing her to bend her knee.

Eve grit her teeth, exploding outward with more force. But, the consequences were clearly seen.

Her meridians couldn’t handle the pressure and many veins began to burst along her body.

Just moments ago, she had felt atop of the world. The man that had caused her so much pain and misery was sent flying under her own power. Yet, in just a few hours, everything had turned. It felt like instead of having enjoyed an exchange where she came out on top, she was simply an item for his observation, a curious phenomenon he wanted to inquire about before putting it out of its misery. The reality of such a matter made Eve feel as though something had broken inside her once more.

The truth was that Eve was wrong. Dyon had indeed been on the losing end, but it wasn’t because he purposely allowed her to gain a sense of victory. Rather, he was still acclimating himself to his new strength.

The Dyon of just a few days ago would have been no match for Chenglei, let alone Eve. After all, he calculated his strength as being at the 6^th

The reason for his explosive increase in strength was precisely due to his newly awakened daos. As one of the most important aspects of cultivation, how could they not produce a great boost?

Not only did they provide a suppressive effect upon fire and lightning dao wielders, but they directly amplified his explosive power when applied to his strikes.

In fact, none of this even mentioned Dyon’s advantage in treasures. After being stuck in Celestial Quadrant for so long, Chenglei, Lionel and Eve didn’t even have a transcendent grade weapon, let alone Dyon who could manifest as many supreme grade weapons as he so desired.

Blood flew from Eve’s lips as though propelled by a jet. Her lithe figure crashed into the grounds below, leaving only Dyon in the skies.

Eve knew she had no choice but to burn her blood essence. No matter what, she couldn’t allow herself to lose. But … Dyon felt this battle had gone on for long enough. historical

“THAT’S ENOUGH!”

A booming voice erupted from Dyon’s lips as a beautiful rainbow half-step dao array appeared before his mouth.

Eve felt as though the sound had crawled into her mind, stunning her speechless and motionless. The perfect fusion of Presence and music qi was too potent.

Dyon’s hands clasped before him, erupted into a sea of white flames and golden holy type qi.

Everything went black for Eve. It felt as though some foreign energy had suddenly entered her body and ripped out a core part of her. The last word she heard was…

“[Cleanse].”

It seemed Dyon had underestimated the power of his technique once more. Before, he had only used [Cleanse] with holy type qi, but ended up destroying a barrier and laws placed by Luna herself… But now he had suddenly used it in conduction with his white flame’s amplification characteristic.

Let alone the infernal dragons below, even Chenglei’s skeleton army was wiped from existence under a gentle light…

All that remained was a deity dressed in blinding body army, gently flapping his golden wings as he stood alone in the skies.
