Reaper of the Martial World

Book 7: Chapter 253: Cheap Imitation (1)

Dyon felt his stamina quickly draining. Keeping his flames burning for an extended period of time wasn’t usually an issue, but the problem was the extent to which its characteristic was being put to work now.

If Dyon was amplifying something weak, of course, the corresponding stamina drainage would be minor. But, he was currently amplifying life essence that wasn’t only incredibly pure, but also abundant in quantity. No matter how great his characteristic was, he had to pay a price to use it.

‘Do I use the Seal? No… It’s impossible to seal a Higher Existence’s soul with my strength. He could break out at anytime and wreak havoc within my Mind’s Eye…’

Dyon racked his brain. Looking back toward Madeleine, his expression couldn’t help but turn even more serious. While he was under pressure, how could it compare to the pressure his wife was under? Forcibly taking control of the characteristic of a flame that wasn’t her own was taking a toll on her. Matters were only made worse by the fact her life flames were incredibly cold while this flame was scorching.

Forcibly pushing these thoughts aside, Dyon continued to think.

He thought of using his celestial tribulation, but he shot down the idea immediately. He was recklessly arrogant, but it wasn’t to the extent that he was stupid.

First of all, without the saint level Holy type energy he had before, healing his body as quickly as he did before was a pipe dream. Unfortunately, although he had entered his constitution’s world everyday for the last six months, he had only accumulated essence level Holy type energy. Although it was still excellent for healing, its effects weren’t nearly as good. The delay would definitely cause him to die. There was no doubt.

Even worse, a lower dao expert like Head Void was nothing compared to a Higher Existence. Even if Dyon had a hundred lives, he would lose them all. One can imagine, if such a tribulation would be capable of harming a Higher Existence skeleton, the kinds of things it would be able to do to Dyon.

‘Do I really have to use that?’ Dyon’s face turned a bit unsightly. He had put his life on the line for the sake of that trump card. If he had to use them here, it would be too unfortunate. He had made so many plans for its use already. In fact, it would have been a very important key to him reaching the later stages of his titan diamond body.

The worse part was that if he used that, it would definitely damage Orcus’ skeleton. If that happened, his clone would have to settle for a weaker start than it could have had. The cascading effects were definitely annoying to deal with.

“I’ll skin you alive!” The Lord Creator’s roar resounded through the third phase castle.

‘Big Brother Dyon, if you’re willing, we could take a risk.’ Little Yin said timidly.

Dyon frowned, looking toward the hamster twins that always rested on his shoulders.

‘Risk?’

‘Mm… As you know, my brother and I are of the royal line of Celestial Hamster. As such, we’re in the minority of our race who are capable of unlocking our Battle Bloodline. For an enemy like this Lord Creator who’s lived through so many epochs, the technique I’m referring to is particularly effective on him. The more lines of karma the target has affected through time, the stronger this technique becomes.’

‘There has to be a reason you haven’t brought this up before. Why is that?’ Dyon said seriously.

‘Because time will might be considered a superior will, but it’s the will of karma that’s actually considered the Supreme Law. According to the history my and my brother have seen of you, before you even began to cultivate the energy path, you had already learned time will. This is because time will is only a small part of the much larger and more substantial karmic will.

‘While the universe forgives using time will fairly easily, even allowing you to use it when you were barely 14 years old, the use of karmic will can result in death. As the will entails, every action has an equal and opposite reaction.’

Dyon shook his head. ‘It’s not worth it. The exchange for the death of a Higher Existence isn’t something that I’m willing to pay.’

‘Let her finish.’ Little Yang interjected.

‘Big Brother Dyon, do you really think me and my brother are just historians? With our help, due to both of us choosing you, the Heavens won’t punish you as badly as it would someone else. This is why using your Eternity Pupils only resulted in a stamina drainage. If you hadn’t had a bond with us, you may have died after activating the true abilities of the Eternity’s Balance constitution.’

Dyon’s eyes constricted into pin holes. His Eternity Pupils were capable of seeing the lines of karma, allowing him to directly effect the future by taking the path with the highest odds of victory. He had never thought such a thing would have such a high price.

‘You two are still beating around the bush.’ Dyon recollected himself. If it was really so simple, they would have already suggested this.

‘A normal celestial hamster would have to trade the equivalent of the trillions of years Orcus has experienced in order to execute this technique. But, we as members of the royal bloodline only have to pay a fraction of that. And as twins executing it together, this price is further lessened.

‘To use this technique, there are only two requirements. The first is that the target must be restrained, and the second is that we must be willing to fall into a dormancy for a set period of time. By my calculations, Little Yang and I would have to sleep for 50 000 years.’
