Reaper of the Martial World

Book 9: Chapter 15: 2×2 (3)

“You should go.” Dyon said with a slight smile. “It seems you have far more important things to take care of. Don’t worry, while you’re gone, I’ll take very good care of your cities.”

The old man’s veins bulged. No matter how gentle he was normally, Dyon was simply too insufferable. But, Dyon was correct… He had no choice but to leave.

The whole martial world was sent into an upheaval. The matters of Sapientia Planet spread like a wildfire.

Once again, Dyon had reappeared after a long disappearance and sent the martial world into a tailspin. According to those on Planet Sapientia at the time, a massive explosion went off in an unpopulated area of their planet. The result was the deaths of a few guards and the instability of the Planet Sapientia. According to experts, in just 3 days, the planet would implode once more, unable to sustain itself.

By this point, visitation to Planet Sapientia had already hit an all time low. With Celestial Corner and Dyon’s various stores that dotted the lower and middle celestial floors, the markets the Sapientia had cornered were snuffed out. Now, with their home planet compromised, and their Gate about to be destroyed, another avenue had been obliterated.

No one knew how Dyon did it. The security for planets, especially main planets at the core of one’s universe, were incredibly high. For a Clan the caliber of the Sapientias, it shouldn’t have been impossible to even think of setting up such a massive explosion ahead of time. Yet, Dyon had done it…

This reality sent a shiver down the spines of those who had pointed their spears toward the Sacharros due to the Sapientia Auction.

Dyon had been merciful this time. The deaths were less than 10 and he gave them 3 days to evacuate the weak, old and disabled, a timeframe that was more than enough for a planet of cultivators, but what if he chose not to be next time? What if he snuck onto their planets and decided to not hold back?

The fear around Dyon skyrocketed. It seemed that this feat was more fearsome than even what he did to the three dao experts. In fact, that feat seemed to be completely forgotten amid the torrent of stories surrounding Planet Sapientia.

However, Dyon’s deeds for the day weren’t done. News of the destruction of Sapientia holdings on the saint floors spread soon after. Not only Sapientia Corner, but every building owned by the Sapientia within Central City were burnt to ash.

To make matters worse, Dyon obliterated Low Sapientia City. Then, he traveled to the Middle Floors. Not caring about losing his protection on Low Gold City, he destroyed the rebuilt Middle Sapientia City. Then, he traveled to the Higher Floors and razed High Sapientia City before finally reaching the Peak Floors and laying waste to Peak Sapientia City.

As though that wasn’t enough, he perfectly cleared the Peak Celestial Floor trial in just a single move and lay claim to Peak Gold City, taking control of all 9 Gold Danger Zones without a care in the world.

Dyon paraded the Demon Generals from the lowest celestial floors. All more than 3000 of them had entered the middle celestial realm after 2 years, proving their infallible talent. With their battle prowess, the tore through the trials one after another.

[Demon Emperor’s Will] made a reappearance.

Chants of the Demon Sage filled the ears of the martial world and overflowed their souls with awe. The sight of 3000 giants, stomping through the air under the leadership of a single, calm eyed man with two beauties by his side… It was enough to make anyone’s blood boil.

“Darkness prevails over all

The blood seeps into the ground

The strong slay the weak and stand tall

While the unfortunate are silenced without a sound

The Sage of the Demon Empire is supreme

Unmatched and unprecedented

Unchallenged and without flaw

Immortal and esteemed

He leaves his legacy for only those as evil as he

Only those as ruthless and heartless

Cast away your humanity for strength

Drench the soil in the blood of your enemies

Plant the seed of your life within it

Become the next Sage of the Demon Empire “

A swirling demonic qi overtook the celestial floors. Clashes of red and black pumping through the air as though to descend the world into darkness.

At the helm, a man stood above Peak Gold City with the expression of a lofty ruler. His back as straight as a javelin, his silver-brown hair shifted slightly in the wind, and his two wives to his left and right.

Though many watched in the distance, seeking a way to stop his momentum, to stymie his aura, they chose not to take a step forward in the end.

The Fate of the world seemed to bend around the young man. It felt that no matter what they threw at him, it would be useless… As though even if the Heavens themselves wanted to open up and swallow him whole, it would have to turn back in failure.

The words the young man spoke just hours earlier resounded in their minds.

They were correct. Who among the tower quadrants would want to make an enemy out of him? And if they chose to do so… Wouldn’t their only remaining path be death?
