Reaper of the Martial World

Book 7: Chapter 247: Death God (1)

Dyon and Madeleine walked into a sea of blue flames. They immediately understood that had it not been for the improvements they made after entering this mystical world, they would have suffered under these flames. Just these blue flames alone were enough to burn anyone below the higher celestial realm to ashes in an instant.

“These flames… They contain more life essence than even my ice flames,” Madeleine said in slight shock.

Dyon frowned at these words. More life essence than Ice Phoenix flames? How was that even possible? To make things more confusing, despite sharing the same color, these flames were most definitely not phoenix flames. If they were, Dyon and Madeleine would feel a bone chilling cold, not this overwhelming heat.

Suddenly, something caught Dyon’s attention. With a thought, a bland grey bow appeared in his hand.

His arm became a blur in the air. The moment he released Madeleine’s hand, it seemed an arrow had teleported onto his string. In the next instant, a blinding light tore through the sea of flames, shattering the head of a skeleton that had only just risen up.

However, despite the result, Dyon’s frown deepened. Although it was true that a common grade bow limited the strength of his strike, with the help of true weapon’s will and his saint qi, the entire skeleton should have been obliterated even if it had the strength of a middle celestial.

There were only two possibilities for why the head shattered but the body survived. Either the head was the only fragile part of this skeleton’s body, leaving the rest of it tempered to the extreme. Or, there was something about these flames that supplementing them.

When Dyon shot his arrow, the only part of the skeleton that had left the flames was its head. The rest of its body had still been buried in the sea…

Almost as though to confirm Dyon’s suspicions, the skeleton, that had fallen back into the blue flames, suddenly rose up once more, its head fully intact after sinking back into the sea.

‘What the hell is this?’ Dyon questioned Red and Green.

‘Even Lord Creator can’t escape death,’ Red said solemnly, ‘So, before he sealed us all in this mystical world, he made plans for reforming himself a body and ensuring that his spirit remained whole. The skeletons here are filled with not only beasts from the ground below, but also exceptionally talented cultivators who have tried to seek benefits from this world.’

Dyon’s eyes contracted. He suddenly thought back to the first door of the first phase invisible castle. It had such a great reward at the end, but the consequences of entering were unimaginable for anyone who wasn’t Dyon.

The truth was that according to the Laws of this Mystical World, for a correspondingly hard trial, there must be an adequate reward. It was due to this that the Lord Creator had no choice but to place what amounted to one of his most precious treasures in that room.

One might wonder why that was, but Dyon suddenly understood it all. This wasn’t a Mystical World, it was a Legacy World! Despite there only being a one word difference between these terms, it was actually akin to heaven and earth.

While a Mystical World could only be created with the power of an individual, a Legacy World received the help of the Heavens to be created!

Why was it that mere saints and celestials who barely grasped any sort of spatial laws could create Legacy Worlds? Why was it that the Mortal Clan could survive in those Legacy Worlds that opened on Earth for so many years despite being so weak? It was because the Heavens were fair.

When a cultivator reached the end of his lifespan, he was the most connected with the Heavens he would ever be. In that state, they’re able to project their will to allow the Heavens to construct a method for them to pass on their knowledge. If it wasn’t for this fact, every Legacy World would be formed by nothing but Peak Dao experts and Higher Existences!

How was this related now? It was because Legacy Worlds had several advantages Mystical Worlds did not, causing the Lord Creator to have no choice but to create one. However, it also have many disadvantages that were playing out their role right now.  

For advantages, Legacy Worlds could exist indefinitely due to the support they received from the Heavens. Secondly, the spirit of the Legacy World’s owner would not dissipate until the Legacy was claim, even without the support of any other treasures.

These two advantages alone made it clear why the Lord Creator would choose this route. He knew how long it would take for him to accomplish his goals, so he knew that using his own resources to maintain his life was simply impossible. If he didn’t rely on the Heavens, he would have long since died!

However, with this choice came disadvantages as well. Legacy Worlds had to follow Rules so that unsatisfied and jealous experts couldn’t take out their frustrations on youth. The Heavens would never allow something evil and unfair to exist under its rule. As such, the Lord Creator was forced to set a rules that he could never break. If he broke them, or even attempted to break them, he’d suffer a backlash that would destroy his remaining spirit.

This sea of blue flames here wasn’t accumulating life in order to sustain his soul. It was accumulating life essence so that the Lord Creator could reconstruct his own body!

Dyon suddenly understood why no matter how much he searched the ground, he couldn’t find the ingredients he needed to construct his clone and rebuild his master’s body. They had all been monopolized by this bastard!
