Reaper of the Martial World

Book 7: Chapter 131: Bloody Precendent (1)

The star began to quake in the distance, causing hot rings of deathly gases to spring upward.

Dyon looked around to see several nervous expressions, however it didn’t take long for him to realize why this was the case. Until now, the various elders had been shielding them all from the heat of the star. If this hadn’t been the case, those of lower cultivation wouldn’t be so casual while standing a mere several hundred kilometers from a ball of hot gas.

The issue was that they’d all have to rely on themselves from now on. Many would die simply entering the realm…

“Linlin, Biibi, Shere, Sen.” Dyon’s voice, no longer hidden by Melisende’s domain reached out to his beast companions.

Leaping into their toddler forms, the four circulated around Dyon before disappearing into his inner world.

“Do you want to come with me?” Dyon asked Madeleine. Obviously, although he had qualms about allowing others into his inner world, Dyon had no such problems with his wife. If they did things this way, he was sure that they wouldn’t get separated in the beginning.

Madeleine shook her head. While she understood Dyon’s worries, approaching a star like this was a good opportunity to improve her fire intent. As of now, she was still at the 8^th intent realm, still looking for opportunities to break into the half-step dao realm.

“Alright, be careful.” Dyon smiled. Despite his words, he stood by Madeleine side. If she showed any signs of wavering, he would step in.

Members of the Flaming Lily Sect couldn’t help but feel their hearts warm watching the couple interact. Who still had the audacity to think that Dyon didn’t care for Madeleine? The upper echelons of the sect had partially panicked with they realized the she no longer had her Primordial Yin, but clearly this wasn’t a problem now.

As for the Vice Master, she found Dyon’s offer odd. If he could take Madeleine, then what was the point of the teleportation plaques? But then she remembered that his beast companions had shrunk down and then everything made sense. How could a treasure that could house higher life forms be large? He probably couldn’t fit them all in.

If only she knew that let alone the fifty or so here, Dyon could fit thousands.

As they spoke, the star’s reaction grew more violent, pillars of fire erupting from its surface. First there was only one, but then it quickly grew, shooting up to three, then six, then eighteen. In the end, 108 pillars of several dozen kilometers wide and tall appeared along the star’s surface, increasing the heat to another level entirely.

The peaks of the pillars grew into large miniature suns, lashing out with tentacles of fire.

Soon, these flame appendages connected with one another, swirling and curving into intricate, ancient patterns.

The newly formed array grew. In no time at all, its face was even larger than the star it originated from.

It was at this moment that the geniuses surged forward, their various elders suddenly feeling a suppression they could only back down from. There was only a distance of 100km from where they stood to the newly formed entrance, a distance that was no more than a joke to even saints, let alone celestials. However, it had suddenly become an insurmountable mountain.

Dyon stood at the edge of this starting line, Madeleine to his side. But, they weren’t alone. Whether it be God Goldeen, True God Tatsuya, True God Hydra, or the various other geniuses, they all stood with a glint of battle intent in their eyes.

Some subconsciously looked toward Dyon. They still hadn’t fully understood what that silver light he used to defeated Falkor was. It wasn’t as though they didn’t think of the silver mirror constitution, but since when had it been so fierce?! Many would kill at the chance to have a heaven grade constitution, but that didn’t mean they didn’t understand that even they had limits.

But… Who would have known that instead of showing off whatever this treasure or ability was, Dyon would actually step forward without any protection at all!? It wasn’t just him either, Titus and Falkor stepped forward simultaneously!

It wasn’t until now that those around understood what it truly meant to be a True God. While they had battle intent in their eyes, they had still been biding their time. But did True Gods care about their comparison to others? Their only challenge was defeating themselves! historical

Dyon’s clothes completely burned to ashes. Without the protection of any energy, how could normal clothes he made on a whim survive in such a harsh environment?

His wide back was revealed to the world, elaborate tattoos of black, white and gold coming into full view.

Madeleine sighed in exasperation while the other women hid their eyes behind their hands, unable to stop their curiosity from forcing them to peak through.

However, the men were focused on something entirely different… He was surviving with just his body! Suddenly, the words of Yandevere rang in their ears once more: undead body!

True God Tatsuya and Hydra looked toward Dyon, a fierce light shining in their eyes as he was set ablaze. While everyone else wanted to use this opportunity to compete, he was using it to train!

Flames of red, silver and gold danced across Dyon’s body as the heat set him on fire. It was only then that his naked body was finally hidden from the eyes of those spectating.

Finally, the remaining geniuses shook themselves out of their stupor and surged forward themselves!
