Reaper of the Martial World

Book 7: Chapter 326: Barrier Breaking (1)

‘This…’

Kawa’s voice projected into Dyon’s ears. She had lost the ability to communicate as normal humans did, but that didn’t stop her from controlling qi.

With King Acacia back in the Elvin Kingdom now, he had begun taking a more active role in their day to day affairs. He had a lot to make up for due to his years of absence. Unfortunately, fulfilling this duty left Kawa alone most of the time.

Luckily, Ri had come back just two days ago and had spent much of that time with her mother. So, Kawa’s spirits had been greatly lifted. But, who knew that yet another pie would fall from skies today?

Dyon had never told Kawa anything about finding a cure for her. In truth, Kawa had been prepared to spend the rest of her life as a cripple. Although it was unfortunate that she’d only have the remainder of the 10 000 years she earned by crossing into the celestial realm left, she had accepted it. Since 80 years was enough for mortals, wouldn’t she be too selfish complaining with such a long time ahead of her? 10 000 years was more than enough for her to see her daughter mature into the amazing woman she knew Ri would become.

In truth, it wasn’t that Dyon had wanted to leave Kawa in the dark. After all, he had already promised Ri that he would be able to save her. It was just that while Ri had absolute faith in Dyon, she also knew that he had many things on his plate. She thought it was better if Kawa didn’t get her hopes up.

Ri’s eyes brimmed with tears that she quickly wiped away. She didn’t want to give Dyon the impression that she didn’t believe in him, to her, that was the worst sort of sin.

But, Dyon only smiled lightly, kissing Ri on the forehead and taking her into his arms. Wasn’t it his fault to begin with that his wives believed he was so busy?

If Dyon had only been thinking about it before, he was staunch in his conclusion now. Unless he absolute had to, he would never leave their sides again. In everything he did, they would be with him. No matter what.

‘Don’t feel bad for me, Little Alex.’ Kawa soothed her daughter, leaping up to Ri’s shoulder and rubbing her cheeks against hers. ‘These years have allowed me to temper my spirituality to a great extent. I’ll be a far better expert now than I would have ever been before. Then I’ll be able to protect you as a mother should.’

Kawa was barely two palm lengths long, her once beautiful white tails no where to be seen after Loki ripped them off. But, this Fate Breaking Pill was her chance to rise up once again.

‘Little Dyon, what is this strong aura I sense from the pill? It’s making my kitsune blood boil…’

“Originally, the pill should have been a Barrier Breaking Pill. Although this would have helped you regain the talent you had at your peak, I thought I should take it a step further for my beautiful mother-in-law, no?” Dyon grinned, shamelessly complementing Kawa.

Ri and Kawa giggled lightly.

They understood the gist of it. As things stood now, Dyon wasn’t able to concoct a planet grade pill with his own skill. Although he might be able to force it with some of the easier ones along with the help of the Battle Cauldron, their purity percentage wouldn’t have been no more than 10%, maybe 20% if Dyon got incredibly lucky or used some high level materials.

However, this Barrier Breaking turned Fate Breaking Pill was a special case. Fate breaking pills were no different than barrier breaking pills for most of the concocting process, the only difference was that fate breaking pills were baptized with high level blood essence during their final step.

Due to the difficulty of collecting even normal blood essence, let alone that of a supreme grade beast, the fate breaking pill’s grade was raised by two levels.

Luckily, the celestial fox species was wiped out before they fell below the supreme grade. This meant that their blood vat was filled entirely with supreme grade blood essence!

After joking around a bit, Dyon finally answered his mother-in-law’s question.

“The aura you sense is that of the Celestial Fox. I’m not sure if kitsune are related to those ancient beasts or not, but I do know that you share the same basic makeup.”

Since kitsune were high-level supreme grade beasts as well, Dyon couldn’t be absolutely certain that they evolved from celestial foxes. After all, it was rare for branching evolutions to reach the same height as their ancestors.

‘Celestial fox?!’ Kawa lost control of her emotions. For a woman who had the calm disposition of a gentle river, this was definitely a new feeling for her.

Dyon raised an eyebrow, wondering what Kawa was thinking about. It wasn’t until a while later she finally spoke.

‘In kitsune lore, the ten tails has always been the greatest height. But, as you know, kitsune aren’t like many other beasts. Instead of making us stronger, we’re actually quite a bit weaker, not to mention far smaller, in our beast forms.

‘According to some of our ancient texts, we were able to rely heavily on our trickery and elemental masteries to once more reach the peak of the supreme grade, but we had already lost what it meant to be a beast. Although we had the innate affinities, we lacked the powerful body.

‘The celestial fox is the pinnacle of what we kitsune were meant to be. Not only do they have the elemental mastery, they grow incredibly large much like all other beasts do. They’re far superior to the ten tails despite only having one!’
