Reaper of the Martial World

Book 7: Chapter 183: Damaris (1)

Days later, Dyon found himself embroiled in another battle. However, this one pushed him far closer to his limits. Without the cowardly nature of the demon tigers to rely on and manipulate, it would be an understatement to say that Dyon was in a sorry state.

He and the beast babies stood in a forest of metal. For hundreds of miles around them, trees rose dozens of meters in the air, some even towering at kilometers in height.

However, these trees weren’t made of wood. They shone various colors on a grey scale depending on their height and were each incomparably hard. That said, after taking into account the Clan of beasts that called this metal forest home, these trees almost had no choice but to be so sturdy.

Dyon gasped for breath, grasping onto his rod tightly as blood dripped from his body. Before him, dozens of enraged apes roared toward him, the sonic boom of their voices threatening to shatter his ear drums.

Even the smallest of these apes stood at 15 meters tall, while the largest cast a shadow over the sky, standing at almost 300 meters.

Their fur was coated in sharp, blue needles with a toughness that was near impossible to cut through. However, what truly made it so that Dyon had fallen to this state was the fact that their bloodline ability worked similarly to his Titan Diamond Body. They were able to emit a shield of energy eerily reminiscent of his Weapon’s Master Armor!

These beasts were none other than another of the eight transcendent grade beasts Dyon had heavily studied: The Diamond Skinned Ape!

“One more time Biibi!” Dyon roared, leaping from Linlin’s back to land on the charging Shere. To his side, Sen beat his chest, his large, blackened hands reverberating his rib cage like a war drum.

Biibi hesitated slightly. Even if Dyon’s meridians were far tougher than normal, this was already the seventh time she had accelerated his energy flow. Even his body would tear apart if they continued. But, knowing Dyon’s personality, she let it be. For a masochist like him, he probably treated this like another form of tempering.

The Diamond Skinned Apes roared, charging toward Dyon all at once.

Dyon felt his energy surge, amplified by Biibi. In that moment, his slow flowing ‘Bold’ type energy suddenly gained speed it never had before.

The truth of the matter was that Dyon knew that in order to defeat these diamond skinned apes, he needed robust energy to amplify his resonance comprehension. The problem was that ‘Bold’ energy flowed too slowly due to the fact it was incomparably dense. In fact, this density was only further multiplied by Dyon’s silver mirror constitution.

If Dyon was facing someone of his cultivation level, it wouldn’t matter too much because he’d have other ways to compensate. But, when fighting these high celestial and peak celestial apes, the disadvantage was multiplied many times over.

So, Dyon came up with two countermeasures to this. The first was Biibi’s support Magic, and the second was [Soul Aid]!

“[Accelerate]!”

In another quadrant, Zaire was shooting through the skies, his happy roar becoming the harbinger of pain for Dragons and Qilin alike. Soon, he reached his destination, appearing above a planet that gave off a refreshing fragrance that made one’s muscles relax.

While other inhabitable planets looked like mostly water and some earth from above, this one was completely different.

It shone like a gem in the sky, delicately carved by the hand of god. Its mountains sparkled like amethysts, its rivers ran like motes of light, and its land shone with a soft moonlight. If one had to describe it in a single word, it really did look like Heaven.

Zaire excitedly blasted through their atmosphere without a care for decorum, maybe the only slight bit of face he gave them was transitioning into his human form, allowing with red-black robes to billow in the air.

The inhabitants looked into the sky to see a ball of fire coming down over their Royal Family Clan without signs of slowing.

Odd expressions colored some of their faces, but their reactions seemed many times more reserved than what one would expect from a Dragon Clan. If it was anywhere else, dozens of youths Zaire’s age would have already shot up to challenge him for his arrogance. But, many here didn’t seem to care. Maybe it was because they recognized Zaire, or maybe it was because this planet’s arrogance had long been tempered by the bright light of a single youth who had yet to appear… Since she hadn’t made a move, why would they bother?

“LYLA, BIG BROTHER IS HERE TO SEE YOU!” With Zaire’s cultivation, there’s no way he didn’t know that his voice blanketed the planet. Not a single soul – not the deepest underwater beast or the highest perched bird – missed the sound of his voice.

Within a grand palace, embroidered is opal, violet and light pink gems, Lyla’s beautiful features blossomed into a bright smile as she stood from her soft bed to go out. However, before she could, another flashed into the room.

Seeing who it was, Lyla smiled a bitter smile.

“He’s just excited, can you go easy on him this time?”

“Absolutely not. Clearly I didn’t break enough bones last time.” The person replied.

“Okay, okay. How about one arm?” Lyla asked sweetly.

“Two arms.” The person said firmly before disappearing.

Lyla sighed, but the smile didn’t leave her face. Clearly, she knew Zaire’s life wasn’t in any danger.
