Reaper of the Martial World

Book 7: Chapter 57: Rodents (3)

Later that day, Dyon had made his way back to Earth to allow the Mino Clan to prepare for the move as well. At first, he had planned to take a visit to Planet Naiad, Delia’s home planet, and Planet Deimos, home planet of the now headless Aumen, Geb and Horus Clans, but he put it off for now. He wanted to deal with the King Belmont situation first which entailed visiting the Bai.

From inside the protective violet-black fog that covered the Bai Holy Land, Head Bai snickered to himself as he watched Dyon approach.

‘Let’s see how you deal with losing your mind like that arrogant King Belmont.’

“Father, open the barrier.” Meiying glared at him.

“No.” Qiangda looked away and pretended not to hear the rest of his daughter’s long-winded speech.

“You old bastard! You nearly caused the fall of Earth because of your useless pride, now you want to act like a petulant child?!”

Qiangda snorted. “They should be thanking me for making King Belmont go insane. If it wasn’t for me, Earth would have never lasted so long. Your so-called brother-in-law’s plan would have failed without me. Where are my thank yous?”

This was entirely a lie. Because King Belmont lost his mind, the Aumen’s believed they could win alone which delayed their desire to ally with the Mino. In addition, the Mino disdained to gang up on someone who was now an unworthy opponent and as such stayed out of it until they came to learn that the Uidah were involved.

Because the Uidah took part, the Mino were forced to action so as to not allow the Uidah to gain everything.

It could be said that the appearance of Abraham completely ruined Dyon’s plans. Who would have known that such a genius would be born among the Uidah?

As a result, Head Bai believed that he too deserved some credit. Since Dyon wasn’t going to give it to him, he would play a little prank.

However… His dreams were crushed when Dyon paused outside of the barrier and snorted.

A blaze of white flames coated Dyon’s body, causing the fog barrier to shy away from the purity of the light.

In the end, Dyon destroyed half of the barrier and entered with absolute ease much to the devastation of Head Bai.

Many of the Bai family members and guards charged forward to see what all of the commotion was about. In fact, some even prepared to attack because they didn’t recognize Dyon. But, they were stopped by Meiying, allowing Dyon to descend from the skies and land before the father-daughter pair.

“If I had known dealing with curse energy was so easy, I wouldn’t have had to wait to cure King Belmont,” Dyon said with a faint chuckle.

At this point, even Meiying’s lip twitched. Easy to deal with? Who fed you that nonsense?

Dyon knew that his body was essentially immune to poison due to reaching the one with body realm with his white flames. But, he hadn’t immediately thought to apply it to curse energy as well.

“The Devil Path is quite interesting,” Dyon said nonchalantly. But, that simple statement caused Head Bai’s face to freeze over with hostility.

“You’ve said something you shouldn’t have.”

“Did I?” Dyon asked, unperturbed. “I just thought it was best if we got everything out and into the open.”

Head Bai’s eyes narrowed as Meiying’s darted with a bit of nervousness. Although she knew that Dyon could defeat her father one on one, she also knew that if her father truly wanted to fight, he had more methods than just his own prowess. One shouldn’t underestimate the foundation of an ancient family…

“Maybe if you were less “open”, I wouldn’t have to kill you now.” Head Bai’s gaze froze over.

“Kill me?” Dyon laughed. “Why would you have to do such a thing? Did you think I came here to kill you?”

At that moment, an odd and dark energy exuded from Dyon.

His eyes dimmed from their bright hazel-green, immediately becoming replaced by a deep black. His hair darkened directly afterward, absorbing every ounce of light that bounded toward it.

In an instant, his body’s prowess ballooned to almost three times what it was before and those around him recognized the energy immediately: This was devil qi!

Breathing outward, the energy disappeared into Dyon’s body once more, returning everything to normal.

Dyon only smiled without explaining anything. But… the origin of this energy was quite obvious. That said, it was the scarcest type of energy the bull-bird had accumulated.

Head Bai’s fierce gaze boiled over into shock. “You… Who are you?…”

Dyon laughed. “What kind of question is that, haven’t you known me since I was a kid? The Devil Path is just a path, who cares what kind of energy you cultivate?

“That said, while I’m not strong enough yet, you’ll have to put more energy into the conventional path. I would be too embarrassed to have an essence gatherer as one of my elders.” Dyon pinched his nose as though he was wading through garbage.

Meiying burst into a fit of laughter as Head Bai’s face reddened in embarrassment. It seemed that getting the Bai on his side was easier than he thought.

At the same time, Dyon realized another benefit of his Inner World… While others had to cultivate a new path from scratch, Dyon had no need to… As long as he had his inner world, he could make use of whatever path he needed!
