Book 8: Chapter 40: Five Species (1)
‘This is still too dangerous.’ Ri said after taking out the Beast Spaces. ‘Even with the beast compendium, it isn’t as though you won’t need to take action yourself. You’ll need to release your soul qi. The moment you do that, you’ll be in an incredibly dangerous situation. I’m not certain that I can pull you out.’
Dyon looked at Ri before looking off toward the blue whales in the distance. They were clearly getting a bit restless, as though they could sense Dyon’s battle intent.
Thinking back to the beast compendium, it was one of the view treasures Dyon took from the first phase castles that was actually useful to him. Essentially, it was a collection of seals from a Seal Master. This was nothing like Dyon’s basic use of seals by relying on the abilities of The Seal, the expert who wrote the beast compendium was a true Seal Master, much like the ancestor of the Sigebryht elves.
In truth, it was because of this beast compendium that Dyon comprehended the seal he used to lock away Damaris’ cultivation for two years. Without it, he would still be a layman in seals.
From what Dyon understood, the best compendium had an 80% chance of enslaving a beast up to the Heaven grade. This chance increased to 95% if the blood of the beast in question can be procured.
This might seem heaven defying, bordering on ridiculously overpowered at first glance, but none of this touched upon the preparation needed.
Each seal compiled in the beast compendium was the equivalent of a large-scale formation. As such, it couldn’t be moved, and the beasts had to be lured into the seal. This limited mobility, and also required a ridiculous amount of resources. It was to the point where it wasn’t worth it to set this sort of array up for just one beast.
In fact, this wasn’t the worst part either, the scale of the formation obviously had to be large enough to trap the beast in question. Didn’t that mean if Dyon wanted to catch these blue whales he would need to draw a sealing formation several thousand kilometers in diameter for these blue whales?
In addition to this, if the beast in question was a King, then the likelihood of capture dropped to 20% from 80%. Getting their blood would help partially, but not nearly enough, to the point where it was negligible. Though, the help of The Seal made this chance 50%.
It was no wonder Orcus left the beast compendium as a reward for the first phase castles. The requirements for use were too stringent, making it border on useless.
However, Dyon obviously had something the past users, and even Orcus himself, never had. The Seal!
With the help of the seal, Dyon, who had next to no comprehension of seals whatsoever, could practically wantonly seal those weaker than him with a single thought. Now, imagine how effective this ability would be if Dyon even had a faint inkling of the world of Seal Masters…
This wasn’t all either. After Dyon broke into the dao realm with his soul, he realized a sharp increase in strength from his treasures of the 33 heavens. For example, back when he split his soul in half to create Junior, he had expected for his soul to take half a year to recuperate even with the help of the Soul Tome. However, it ended up only taking a few days.
By Dyon’s estimation, it wasn’t just the Soul Tome that had this increase, but all of his soul-based treasures. In fact, Dyon speculated that they were only beginning to show their true prowess now.
Still, even with all of this said, Ri’s worries were warranted.
Even with the seal, he would still need to make an outpouring with his soul qi.
‘I think we have a good chance.’ Dyon said after sorting out all of his thoughts. ‘You know that even if our Mortal Alliance was risking your life, I’d let it burn down without hesitation. But, I think we can do this.’
Hearing these words, Ri nodded without a second thought. ‘Alright.’
She immediately shifted to Dyon’s back, putting her delicate palm to his shivering back. It only took a moment before Dyon suddenly felt an endless relief from the excessive cold.
In that instant, Dyon’s resolve solidified. A roar escaped his lips, jetting outward so fiercely that the ocean water, even under so much water pressure, cleared out a ten-meter space around him.
This was exactly Dyon counter measure. By relying on the power of his body, his lungs and vocal cords ballooned, pushing the water further and further from him.
He brought his hands together, concentrating on a glowing set of beautiful of gears. This was none other than The Seal!
Dyon had never brought The Seal out of his mind’s eye. Firstly, because its passive ability protected his mind. And, more importantly, because he didn’t like risking individuals sensing its presence. However, who was here besides him and his wife?
Ri was stunned. She had been fully prepared to siphon the cold qi from Dyon, but who would have known that he would come up with this solution? Since he wasn’t using his music qi, there was nothing for the cold qi to latch on to!
In that moment, a mesmerizing seal appeared before them. At first, it was only a few inches in diameter, but then it grew explosively in size. In an instant, it was several hundred meters across.
But, that was when Dyon realized something. The size of this seal was as large as Dyon wanted it to be. As long as his soul could sustain it, it could cover an entire quadrant!
BOOM!
The dark oceans became awash in golden light… Stemming from a seal over 10 000 kilometers wide!
