Reaper of the Martial World

Book 8: Chapter 158: 112 (3)

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Soul Planet was filled with the fireworks of battle. But, it wasn’t an invasion. Rather, it was Lilith unleashing her pent up rage on her celestial trial.

Just minutes ago, Dyon gave Lilith her Sovereign Spark and she seemed to eat it up as though she hadn’t seen food in years and the small golden flame was a juicy steak.

But, what happened next made Dyon’s lip twitch. She closed her eyes for what might have been only two or three seconds, and in the next instant, a surge of celestial qi unendingly rolled toward her.

Was it even possible to comprehend a higher energy form in two seconds?! And was it really necessary to call down your tribulation with Soul Palace?!

If it wasn’t for Dyon’s quick reaction, immediately locking everyone down within range of the tribulation and teleporting them away, Lilith would have recklessly caused a disaster. But, somehow watching her swing her sword so fiercely in the air… He lost the will to be angry.

‘She didn’t even wait to become a pseudo celestial first… But I guess she must have felt she spent enough time tempering her body before…’

Technically speaking, re-tempering the meridians could be done after entering the celestial realm. The reason individuals did it before hand in a pseudo realm is to give themselves an advantage during their trials. Obviously, someone with properly tempered meridians can use their new energies easier.

Dyon never bothered with his pseudo realms because he followed the body refinement path, so any tempering his body needed would be handled by it. In addition, considering how much the Heavens seemed to hate him, that tempering wouldn’t matter much. It’d probably just call down an even stronger tribulation like the petty bastard it was.

‘Well, at least she can give the disciples something to work toward…’ historical

Many close to where Lilith triggered her tribulation came to spectate. It was a great way to raise the morale of the Mortal Alliance’s people. Usually, experts would do these sorts of things in private so that potential failure wouldn’t dampen their Clan’s Faith, but the people under Dyon were quite confident. Lilith didn’t even consider failure.

‘This is good too. This is a strong second step…’

The truth of the matter were that Jade’s words weren’t all she left for Dyon. Within the Life Saving Jade, there were great amounts of information, more information Dyon could ever dream of having.

After Dyon recollected his emotions, the tower spirit unsealed one portion of Dyon’s mind’s eye locked away by Jade. With it, he found that Jade didn’t leave him with just vague hints. He found endless stacks of information… The most important of which were tied to massive future events and the outer quadrants.

The Devil Quadrants.

Jade said to ally with them. Under normal circumstances, this would be stupid. Even if they believed that Jade was still here and Dyon had a Higher Existence by his side, Higher Existence Ravana was far stronger than Jade had ever been.

In addition to this, the Devil Quadrants were allied with the Infernal Beasts… The mortal enemies of the celestial beasts. No matter how you looked at it, it was an alliance that could never work.

The true reason why they were a worthy ally was because of one Clan: The Mathilde Clan.

When Dyon saw this, he was shocked. Why would Jade tell him to trust a traitorous Clan? Wouldn’t that be asking to get backstabbed again?

But, that was when he learned just how absolute the power of the Elvin Queen was. The only reason the Elves fell apart was because they didn’t have this true center of power anymore, so they tried to fill her role with the True Empaths. But, Ri was here now!

Dyon was guaranteed one backer among the devil path cultivators, but that wasn’t all. He knew their weakness.

Their souls were inhibited by their devil qi. This was why they risked sending such an absolute genius here. They couldn’t foster any array alchemy experts and had thus fallen behind the other outer quadrants by far. They weren’t in a position where they could look down on Dyon’s extended hand.

The Sprites.

According to Jade, Dyon needed to pay more attention to them. It wasn’t a simple ‘oopsie’ case that the Star Clan “accidentally” attacked a quadrant of their tower quadrants. They did so purposely.

[Author’s Note: Was explained previously that the Star Clan came from the outer quadrants and believed themselves to have discovered a “new” quadrant, thus they attacked and conquered the quadrant that is now currently their second quadrant. This was how the tower quadrants came to learn of the existence of the outer quadrants… Jade is saying that this wasn’t coincidental at all.]

Then Jade dropped a bomb… The Star Clan Dyon knew, the number one Clan of their tower quadrants, was just a branch Clan of the Sprite Alliance, a mighty Empire that spanned almost 100 quadrants alone.

Dyon would be lying if he said his breath didn’t quicken at this reality… almost 100 quadrants? That was the threshold to become a Planet Grade Empire.

According to Jade, something major would happen within the Sprite Alliance in just a few years. She didn’t know the details of the events because Dyon’s alternate timeline self didn’t, but what she did say dropped a boulder on Dyon’s chest…

Dyon’s alternate timeline self never found Eli…

And… he always speculated that the reason why was related to this quickly approaching event…
