Book 8: Chapter 104: Faith (2)
Dyon was shocked by the results. It seemed he had severely underestimated a spiritual vein whose constitution had been boosted by the energy core.
One had to remember that spiritual veins grew unstable after reaching a certain size. Well, it was more accurate to say that the universe they resided in became unstable. This was why, without the energy core, they would never grow greater than a certain size.
Dyon learned from Meiying recently that this was in part due to the systematic destruction of devil veins by those who wanted to pretend to be holier-than-thou.
‘Yes!’ Dyon had tried to remain calm, but he couldn’t help but sigh a breath of relief when he saw that his spiritual vein seamlessly absorbed the energy. In fact, it seemed hungry for more.
Dyon had doubted his decision in choosing a spiritual vein for a long time, maybe taking another supreme grade treasure would have been better. But now, he couldn’t be happier with his past self.
‘Rise!’ Dyon roared it out once more, using his control of his inner space to force Thirteen’s body to absorb the healing pill.
The Essence Reversal Pill. The use of this planet grade healing pill was just as heaven defying as its name. Unlike other pills, it didn’t ‘solve’ a problem, it reversed it entirely!
To a dao expert, the additional 1000 years of life this pill gave was negligible, but its actual abilities could shake an individual to their core.
Because Dyon removed the volatile enigmatic qi from Thirteen’s body, the process was perfect beyond belief. Plus, due to the fact that these matters took place within Dyon’s inner world, not a single ounce of the pill’s energy was wasted. In fact, Dyon became conflicted.
‘Should I store the remaining energy of this pill to be used later? Or do I use it to forcibly raise Thirteen’s cultivation level?’
Dyon grit his teeth. In the end, he chose to store the remaining energy. There was about 30% remaining, by his calculations, this should be enough to heal his arm, but he didn’t dare use it now. Whether he had his arm or not was irrelevant to a battle where everyone was so much stronger than he was.
In that moment, Thirteen’s dormant soul fluttered. She felt that she had been preparing to enter the cycle of reincarnation, but someone had forcibly brought her back. The seal on her soul was just about to be erased too, but now it was back in full force!
Her mind spun as she looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings. She noticed that the beast skin that covered her chest was gone, but she had never cared about such things to begin with, or else she wouldn’t have been so scantily clad in this first place.
Immediately, Thirteen intuitively understood where she was. ‘This place smells like… Master. This is master’s world?’
The word master made her shudder from the inside out. She felt a fierce rejection for the word, but whenever she wanted to replace it with ‘bastard’ or ‘bitch’, an even fiercer rejection racked her mind.
‘However pitiful.’ Thirteen released a sad laughter. ‘My dao heart and Kingship are both gone…’
Thirteen didn’t seem to be happy to be alive. If anything, she was pissed. She joined BPA so she wouldn’t be forced under the heel of a human, and what had happened? She was forced under the heel of a human…
‘Come out.’ Dyon’s voice filled her ears. There were no thoughts of resistance as she was forcibly expelled.
Dyon was no longer worried about Nine finding out Thirteen was alive. Even if she could use her divine sense here, which she couldn’t, Dyon didn’t believe that anyone could sense something he didn’t want them to. At the very least, these three couldn’t.
‘Master.’ Thirteen cringed as cold qi seeped into her body. She knew Dyon didn’t want her to speak out loud in case those in the distance heard her, but sending a qi message racked her with pain.
Dyon didn’t say a word as he stripped Thirteen of what remained of her clothes. He could see the humiliation seething deep within her eyes, but he didn’t have time to think about her feelings. She had come here to kill him and snatch the hopes of his family and friends, he had no sympathy for her. If anything, this was a light punishment. If he wanted to, he could wipe her of her personality entirely.
Thirteen wanted to say something about how this really wasn’t the appropriate place for this sort of activity. She had been the one to say that Dyon was handsome, and to be quite frank, she wouldn’t mind jumping into his bed, it was her bestial nature, but didn’t he realize their lives were on the line right now?
However, Thirteen soon realized how foolish her thoughts were. Dyon simply gave began to smear was seemed like a layer of thick grease on her.
At first she was confused, but she suddenly realized that she could once more use her qi freely. Her eyes widened. She suddenly understood that Dyon wasn’t a pervert, he had a practical purpose for being naked.
Still, Dyon wasn’t satisfied with this. It was alright if he was naked because he never planned to engage with the enemy directly. But, Thirteen would have to.
A single blow from Nine would be enough to blow this layer of whale fat from Thirteen’s body. Though she could probably protect it with a layer of enigmatic qi, Dyon knew that if the three remaining warriors were forced into a corner, they too would use their qi.
‘Hey, Old Lizard.’
A deep, ancient sigh came from a familiar place. This youth really did only call him when his life was on the line. This generation had no respect for their elders.
