Reaper of the Martial World

Book 8: Chapter 205: Wyverns (1)

A fiendish grin spread across Dyon’s face.

His blood pumped, the thumping of his heart resonating so loudly that the low growls of the male wyvern were completely drowned out.

When Dyon first awoke his Titan Diamond Body, his blood had turned for a crimson red to a royal blue. Though he still bled red, his blood was much different from other humans fundamentally.

As time passed and his body grew stronger, his blood began to change once more. What once were small flecks of bronze became strands. And strands soon became entire currents. If one looked into Dyon’s body, it would seem as though rivers of ambrosia coursed through his veins, pumping his body with vitality.

Dyon stretched his palm out.

If others saw this scene, they would think Dyon had lost his mind. He was a facing a beast more powerful than one that took several hours of planning to take on just earlier in the day with such a casual expression. To make matters worse, his hand was now just half a meter from the snout of the wyvern. Was he really so intent on losing the hand he just regained so quickly?

‘[Whirl]. [Spiral].’

A concentrated burst of green wind will twirled around Dyon’s palm. He didn’t even register the odd change because he was completely focused on controlling the massive power that flowed through him. Wind will had always been colorless… Though Dyon’s half-step dao was a light green color, the wind it produced wasn’t so…

The wyvern had already flinched at Dyon’s loud beating heart, but seeing this odd phenomena form before it, it suddenly felt that its easy victory had slipped from it.

It had felt something odd several hours ago. One of its many mating partners, and one of the few strong enough to birth its children, had inexplicably let out a battle cry.

As a male, it was his duty to protect his females, but this particular mate was quite rowdy. She hated it when he interfered in her fights, so he planned to check on the situation after letting some time pass. At least then she couldn’t blame him.

But, when he came here, though he smelt the scent of his woman, she was nowhere to be seen. To make matters worse, their children were gone.

He had been especially monitoring this litter because he couldn’t allow any males to grow up. Considering how rowdy their mother was, if she birthed a son, he would definitely challenge his authority. So, he was lying in wait. If they were females, everything would be okay. But if they were males, they would be his next meal.

To his surprise, there really was a male here. But, this male didn’t smell like one of his children. Plus, he was walking out of that hole that mate of his never let him poke around.

It didn’t matter to him, though. Another male in his territory? And in his mate’s den, no less? He would rip him apart, then question that woman for daring to think that having another man was an option for her.

These were all the thoughts of the male wyvern before he suddenly found himself shooting backward at blinding speeds, his body spinning and whirling in the air.

Dyon looked down at his hand, a hand responsible for sending a 15 meter long wyvern flying with absolute ease.

‘It’s definitely much more difficult to control…’

The shocking part was that Dyon knew he could bring out more power, if only he had more control. Unfortunately, he was forced to place an artificial restriction on himself so that he didn’t accidentally inflict himself with irreparable injury.

Dyon made a note to himself to only use qi manipulation techniques he had mastered to the One with Self realm.

[Whirl] and [Spiral] both fell under this category, both being Peak Common Grade qi manipulation techniques. [Whirl] was a qi focusing technique that allowed one to output a massive amount of energy into a tight central point. [Spiral] increased the force of qi output by utilizing centripetal force. Together, it led to quite a formidable result. But, it truly tested Dyon’s upper limits of concentration.

However, this was yet another advantage Dyon had in this world. But, this advantage wasn’t due to himself.

Because his main body was currently in Calming Lake, he could simply devour the streams of consciousnesses around himself in order to replenish his mental energy. Essentially… he could train his qi control without limit, as long as his soul stamina held up, that is.

BOOM!

The wyvern’s massive black-blue scaled body flew from the caves mouth and crashed into the mountain range. Because the materials of the Ancient Battlefield were so sturdy, the male wyvern’s inner organs shook violently, causing it to cough up buckets of violet blood.

Dyon stepped out of the cage and into the air, light green wind will whipping around him at blinding speeds. If he could send such a large wyvern flying, sustaining his flight for a small moment wasn’t much of a problem for him at all.

The loud crash would no doubt alert the other beasts of this mountain range, but Dyon was no longer afraid. Though he wouldn’t claim to be able to defeat every beast in this mountain range alone, he was certain there no longer existed one here that could threaten his life – not at this depth, anyway.

Since that was the case, he might as well form a legion of wyverns.

His goals had changed. Before, conquering a single Region in a 2 year span was enough for him. But with his new discoveries, he wouldn’t be satisfied even if he conquered 10 in that same span.
