Book 7: Chapter 135: Pants (2)
In another quadrant, the low-profile Devil Path geniuses were making their presence known, especially Lilith and Sokzac. However, this wasn’t due to the others being poor talents. Rather, it was simply far too eyebrow raising for too many geniuses to appear at once even if they were joining a sect. If the upper echelons decided to investigate, they would be in an inescapable trouble.
As such, Lilith decided that only she and Sokzac would take trials. However, the trials they were forced to take were absolute jokes! Even though they tried to slow their speed, they blazed through the Duke trials in just two months. The challenge was too pathetic for them.
How could this not raise exclamations of awe?
Still, in order to enter the auction, a King title was the minimum. As such, despite having already caused a stir, Lilith and Sokzac had no choice but to enter again. Yet, despite being extremely careful this time around, they still completed the King trial in just two years!
By now, they were out once more and the center of attention despite having entered the Enigmatic Sect of the seventh ranked quadrant.
Lilith couldn’t help but sigh to herself. The entire point of wanted to use the 98th ranked quadrant was to keep a low profile. Although Lilith had every intention of taking the God trials even back then, she was sure that by that time she would have been prepared to reveal her prowess. In addition, she’d have the protection of tower’s barrier.
But, now, she was in the open environment of a sect and had no control over the greedy eyes that followed her everywhere. Although she made it clear that Sokzac was her fiancé, who cared about a talented young man with no backing? If anything, Sokzac was in far more danger than even she was.

Dyon appeared in a new world, crossing over the final portions of the barrier with more than fifty people in tow. However, it was at that very moment that he realized instead of having his feet firmly planted on the ground, he was falling from skies.
‘I can’t fly with my saint energy?’ Dyon frowned. Of course, he had his wings, but showing off his tattoo was one thing, making his wings known to others was a complete other.
Before, Dyon had purposely only used one color of wings as the ‘masked wife stealer’. But, back when he raged against True God Anak, he changed their color deliberately. Although this might not seem like a big deal, this definitely planted the idea in the minds of others that his wings weren’t stagnant in color. Because of this, Dyon hesitated to reveal them now. It wasn’t the right time to connect his two identities.
Dyon’s falling speed accelerated constantly. His body weight was so severe that air resistance caused rings of flames to erupt around him.
As the ground came into view, Dyon’s brow twitched. Down below, there was an oddly colored and quite large violet lake. Of course, Dyon’s first thought was poison, but this wasn’t why he reacted. Due to reaching the one with body realm with his white flames, he should be immune to any poisons not of the star grade. In fact, because of the profound nature of his innate flames, he even had a certain resistance those poisons of that caliber as well.
The real issue here was that there was a beast Dyon’s divine sense picked up on, and he had a feeling that canon balling into its home wouldn’t be received very well at all…
Almost as though to benefit some sickening foreshadow, the surface of the lake became to rumble.
At first, it was just a large dome of water, as if a massive waterfall had suddenly appeared and was only steadily growing.
However, the taller this waterfall grew, the more distorted the image became. What once was a perfect dome shape extended in width, revealing a large, opened mouth.
The creature’s eyes were several meters across, blinking into slits of red and violet. Its body was covered in scales matching these patterns, looking as though it was built with shingled gems of rubies and amethysts. Truth be told, it was an absolutely beautiful beast, so much so that Dyon assumed it to be a woman despite the fact it emitted such fierce yang qi.
‘What the hell is that?’ Dyon’s eyes contracted. He had only just realized why this atmosphere was so oppressive… So… Familiar. This feeling, the last time he felt it was within his constitution’s world!
Even as Dyon was slightly panicking about not being able to sense the creature’s cultivation, massive violet crystalline wings spread from its back. However, what was truly mesmerizing about them was the fact that these wings were identical to a butterfly’s.
Dyon knew he had to deal with this quickly. It wouldn’t be much time from now that the Flaming Lily Sect disciples would begin to teleport to him. In fact, if they had started anywhere near as bad as him, they might have already crushed their plates. If this was the case, they were headed here now!
‘If this world is truly like that one, I don’t need to fear simply because I can’t sense this creature’s cultivation….’ Dyon’s eyes reddened, a bestial aura erupting from him as he became more in tune with his surroundings.
“Yes…” Dyon’s voice came out in a primal growl. “You… I can defeat you…”
