Reaper of the Martial World

Book 11: Chapter 36: Mount (3)

Ice Phoenix territory was known for its silence. Other than the softly blowing snow, its people preferred to avoid the fanfare of a hustling and bustling region. If they wanted to experience such a thing, they would leave this place. Not that many of them cared to.

However, on this day, something drastically changed.

Nine white suns suddenly appeared in the skies. Though they didn’t have any heat coming off of them, everywhere they passed, snow and ice seemed to melt on a whim. They had no ability whatsoever to fight back, they could only watch as their lush winter wonderland, known as a wasteland by those who hated the cold, became just like every other piece of land in this prison.

But this was only the beginning…

When observing from afar, it seemed that these nine massive suns only melted the snow. However, when it approached them, they suddenly realized that something far more sinister was occurring to their lands.

Not only was the snow melting, but the land beneath it was being compressed and depressed. Nine deep valleys followed the trajectory of the nine suns as though even the ground itself was being repelled.

What shocked the phoenixes observing this drastic change was the couple that stood amidst the nine suns.

One was a male with flowing violet hair. His eyes seemed to flicker with amethyst flames, dancing about with an arrogant flare.

His woman held his hand, watching on with an indifferent expression. She was gorgeous beyond reason, the kind of beauty that could only possibly appear on the Immortal Plane… Yet, she was here gracing them with her presence.

Sonic booms resounded through the skies as a familiar Overlord cut through the air, making his toward them. But just as he was about to enter with a kilometer of the fiery white suns, he was suddenly hit with a vicious forcefield.

His handsome face distorted to the point of near comedy. It was as though he ran directly into a glass screen he hadn’t seen coming.

Without suspense, his body was flung backward miserably as he crashed through the once snowy mountain ranges and collapsed.

He coughed, a mouthful of blood ruining his pristine white robes.

His expression turned gloomy. This was Ice Phoenix Territory. Who had ever dared attack them directly in the last several million years? Even those other 11 Overlord Clans didn’t dare to do so because attacking them was tantamount to provoking all three of the Phoenix Clans. Each one of them alone was already more powerful than the Deity Clan. But the three of the together were in the top ranks of the 12 Overlord Clans. Who would dare do such a thing?

“Who are you?” Overlord Ascelyn.

“You… You’re decent, I guess…” Dyon looked toward Ascelyn as though he was looking through him. He might as well have been air.

With Madeleine by his side, he could pull on her Fire Law comprehension. This was one of the abilities of the Dragon and Phoenix Dual Cultivation Technique. In this case, his white flames were a level more powerful without him having to risk comprehending a Law himself.

With this husband-and-wife pair standing together, a single one facet Overlord simply wasn’t worth much. Though, it was curious that only one Overlord had appeared to now.

With Dyon’s Immortal Sense, he could cover the entirety of the Ancient Battlefield with only a single odd exception: that mysterious core region. However, due the fact he wasn’t 100% certain if there were any who had entered the Overlord Realm with the soul facet, he restricted himself a bit so as not to give away too much of his strength too soon.

Still, even with him restricting himself, it was still an easy affair to cover a single territory. He was well aware that the only Overlord in Ice Phoenix territory currently was this one before him now.

A moment later, Dyon stretched out his hand, causing a seal qi that threatened to collapse everything to surge forward.

The Seal appeared in the skies, covering the lands below with a golden glow as its numerous complex gears began to churn.

Ascelyn’s expression changed drastically. Understanding what was about to happen, he turned and ran. He didn’t care for the shocked expressions of his fellow Ice Phoenixes, nor did he care for his own face. If he didn’t leave now… He would face a fate far worse than death!

However, would Dyon really give him a chance?

With a snap of his fingers, the world changed. Those beautiful nine suns flickered and disappeared, replaced by nine raging black suns shimmering with flames that seemed descendant of hell itself.

What once was an irresistible push became a pull so powerful that Ascelyn’s made sprint halted in an instant.

“No!” He roared. But, it didn’t matter.

He clawed at the ground as he was pulled toward the couple in the sky, a helpless rage reddening his visage.  

Nine golden pillars of sealing qi descended from The Seal above, crashing into his body in a rhythm that seemed to resonate with heavenly laws.

“My wife has needed a mount for a very long time already. You’ll do just fine.” Dyon said without emotion.

Ascelyn was forced out of his human form, the gorgeous image of an ice blue bird flickering into existence.
