Reaper of the Martial World

Book 8: Chapter 64: Swoon (1)

Madeleine’s aura surged. The Heavens seemed to resonate with her body as a blinding glow emitted from her fair skin.

Fiona and her two companions felt stifled by her purity. Her white gown shone so fiercely that it felt as though their attacks weren’t getting through no matter how hard they tried.

This white gown was an inheritance of the White Mothers. It might seem that a mere transcendent grade treasure meant nothing when supreme grade treasures seemed to be a dime a dozen to Dyon, but it would be a mistake to look down upon this white gown.

The gown, better known as White Mother’s Grace, was an absolute treasure for those who had comprehended celestial will. Passed down from the very first white mother, it had the ability to act both defensively and as an amplifier. The only reason that it was graded as a transcendent grade treasure was because its potential could already be tapped into with just celestial qi!

Even with the White Mothers taken into account, one could say without hesitation that Madeleine was among the top percentage of individuals to ever use this treasure precisely because she had managed to evolve her celestial will to the realm of supreme laws.

Immediately, 70% of her opponent’s striking power was dissipated before they could even reach her. And, better yet, her celestial will rose from the 8^th intent realm, to the One with Dao realm.

Rings of concentrated music qi bloomed outward, blasting the three pseudo dao experts backward.

However, the lines of worry on Madeleine’s delicate features didn’t fade. Though she was sure the enemy would never think that she would be capable of handling three pseudo-dao experts alone, she knew that these matters wouldn’t end like this.

For one, Flaming Lily Sect disciples kept falling one after another. If this continued, even if Madeleine survived and killed her way to the teleportation stations to survive, the Flaming Lily Sect would be finished. This was if they even worked now to begin with.

Secondly, she wasn’t Dyon who had what seemed like unlimited soul stamina. Sustaining a supreme law like this, especially after forcibly boosting it by one intent level with the help of White Mother’s Grace, was difficult for her. She guessed that at most, she could continue for another ten minutes.

‘Should I run?…’ Madeleine’s jaw clenched.

It hurt her to watch her fellow disciples fall one after another. She didn’t even know if Sabona was doing okay. That little girl should still be on the lower tier, would she be spared? Or would they kill her too?

At this point, Madeleine irrationally hoped that Sabona was a traitor as well. At least then she wouldn’t have to die…

Madeleine looked up into the skies. Because of her Goddess’ Disposition, there was little she hated more than blood and war. She could be said to be the direct opposite of Amphorae. However, she fought because she knew that this was what Dyon needed.

Still, Madeleine felt different from Amphorae in this regard. Not just in her hate of war, but more deeply in regard to the fact that she didn’t feel that she was compromising herself for the sake of love. Madeleine realized that without war, it was impossible to bring about the peaceful world she would love to live in… Sure, Madeleine fought for Dyon, but on a personal level, she fought for herself too…

‘They need me.’ Madeleine said resolutely.

Two wives, two Sacharro Clan women, reached the same conclusion taking different paths… historical

A delicate roar left Madeleine’s lips as the three pseudo-dao experts recovered to surge toward her. In that moment, the manifestation of a gorgeous goddess appeared to her back. The beauty was almost blinding, to the point one didn’t dare to look for too long.

All of the energy with Middle Lily City seemed to rush toward Madeleine. Since she had chosen to fight, she would go all out.

Goddess’ Disposition. It was maybe the only constitution that ranked so highly that didn’t seem to have a direct application to battle. Even the lower ranked Eternity’s Balance could help one fuse wills. However, Goddess’ Disposition didn’t have an obvious purpose. If anything, it only seemed to raise cultivation speeds to ungodly levels.

However, over the past few years, Madeleine’s comprehension had deepened even further. She had once believed that the essence of her constitution was Purity. This was why she managed to raise celestial will to a supreme law when many others couldn’t. But, thanks to the tea leaves of Heaven’s Selfless Breath, she came to comprehend that it was far deeper than just this.

Madeleine was beloved by Heavens. Beloved to the point that it didn’t dare to treat her as strictly as it did its Children.

The Ancient Constitution Goddess’ Disposition originated from was the product of a Heaven’s Child who broke free of the constraints of Heaven, soaring beyond its purview.

If Madeleine unlocked the abilities of her constitution to even 1% of that originators level… There was no doubt that she would become the strongest expert on the mortal plane.

Madeleine’s violet hair and eyes erupted into a blaze of white-gold flames. The color seemed to be washed out in an instant, painting Madeleine with a Heavenly brush. In these moments, she dwarfed every woman in existence. Her elegance, her grace, her aura… They were all the pinnacle of perfection.

When a manifestation reached its highest realms, it would evoke changes to its wielder’s body. The pressure Aritzia brought upon Dyon and his family could only result in one of two things: either they would crack and die under it, or they would rise up to become something far greater than they had been before.

Madeleine, after choosing to stand her ground and fight, had forcibly stepped in the direction of the latter.
