Reaper of the Martial World

Book 8: Chapter 54: Silence (3)

Jade said very clearly what her second act would be. She would sacrifice herself and fuse into the fabric of reality to stabilize the mortal plane.

Dyon had no idea what this meant. And it would be several more epochs before he did. However, Rose understood very well.

What restricted transcendents from descending onto the mortal plane was the Will of the Heavens. However, with the mortal plane’s lifespan approaching closer and closer to its end, this will was simultaneously growing weaker and weaker.

This may seem irrelevant, but wasn’t there a transcendent here breaking those very rules now?

In the first timeline, Dyon’s fight with the entity raged for several years. In fact, though Dyon wasn’t anywhere near winning, he at least still stood a chance. However, in the end, the entity was able to break the restrictions set upon it by the Will of the Heavens and display a prowess that exceeded the bounds of the mortal plane. Once that occurred, Dyon’s final ray of hope was shattered and he died without a corpse.

Jade’s act of sacrificing herself to strengthen the mortal plane was the equivalent of giving Dyon a much-needed lifeline. The likelihood of the entity accomplishing this feat had now fallen drastically!

The tragedy was that maybe Dyon would never know all the things Jade had done for him. Or, maybe, he would be faintly aware of them, but never able to truly give them just appreciation. However, this was exactly what Jade wanted… She didn’t want some grand redemption arc… She didn’t believe that she deserved it…

All she wanted was to erase herself from the world in silence, a light smile playing her beautiful features because she knew she had helped her beloved man…

Dyon had not a single clue as to the gravity of the matter that had just occurred. When Jade’s existence was wiped, he felt a tremor course through his mind’s eye that made him sigh. But he didn’t have the luxury of dwelling on the feeling.

Ri remained silent in his arms. The matters pertaining to Clara had deeply shaken her. A volatile void will was erupting within her delicate body that was incredibly difficult to control, so she buried her head into Dyon’s chest, trembling with rage.

Clara and Madeleine weren’t just women Ri shared a husband with, they were her sisters.

She remembered that day back during the World Tournament. The blatant cheating of the Aumen and their subordinate clans reached a point where it nearly cost Ri and Madeleine their lives. Back then, Dyon had been so enraged that his demonic will entered the first intent stage and he ripped Femi limb from limb with his bare hands.

Before that battle, Dyon kneeled before his two wives and made a promise that there would come a day that no one would dare touch them. Ri knew how much this meant to Dyon. He would be willing to give up everything for them.

But, it seemed like the world was bent on destroying everything that mattered to Dyon this day. And yet… this husband of hers had an expression as calm as cloudless skies on his face.

Evangeline was gone. Clara was in enemy territory. Amphorae was in danger. Madeleine was being forced into a corner.

By all rights, Dyon should be losing his mind. However, despite the fact his face was covered by a mask, Ri knew very well that his emotions were no longer fluctuating. It was as though this was any other normal day…

The lightning willow mask sunk into Dyon’s face, revealing a blue-haired elvin prince that could make a woman’s heart swoon. He didn’t do this to show off, he did it to calm his wife’s heart. He wanted to remove the layer between them so she understood that he was just fine.

“That day will come.” Dyon said, smiling a calm smile.

“Dyon your wings…” Ri felt a keen sense of guilt. If her irrational worry was the reason Dyon couldn’t use his wings as True God Sacharro, she’d never forgive herself.

“Don’t worry about it. It could be said that the day my soul broke into the dao realm, the mask became useless to me. No one can inspect my secrets without permission.”

Dyon spun through the air, dodging waves of assaults as though they weren’t there.

He kissed Ri’s forehead, cradling her in arms. “Rest easy. Let me handle everything.”

The void will threatening to erupt within Ri suddenly calmed. Her small hands gripped Dyon’s robe as she sunk into his embrace. Even while the world was crashing down around them, she felt safe… Even with all the odds stacked against them, she didn’t doubt that Dyon would win…

Grand Elder Mist couldn’t stop Dyon’s momentum. Although she was far faster than he was, Dyon’s use of teleportation arrays was too efficient. He would constantly prepare three at a time, one long ranged one that took several seconds to complete, and two short ranged ones he could finish in an instant. The result was a holistic movement speed that was difficult to compare with.

Since Grand Elder Mist was too far away to lock Dyon down in space, she had no chance of stopping this even if she knew what was happening.

Dyon eventually saw his destination in the distance. Dark Ocean, despite its title, was actually the combination of nearly 30 separate universes. So, as one might expect, it wasn’t actually a part of the universe Dyon was flying in currently.

If Dyon wanted to get there, he had to use a teleportation array set up by the Water Mist Sect. How could Grand Elder Mist expect that instead of escaping away from their territory, Dyon would choose to venture deeper in? As a result, no one expected that Dyon wouldn’t even attempt to approach the already heavily guarded teleportation arrays, and instead flash toward a completely ignored one!

“Stop him!” Grand Elder Mist roared. From the start of the chase to the end, not even half a minute passed. Yet, Dyon was already standing upon his goal. Unfortunate for the Mist Clan, this meant that their Grand Elder didn’t have the opportunity to use her superior speed to catch up.

Normally, such a long-range teleportation station would take several minutes to activate, especially considering the shoddy workmanship of this era’s arrays. However, with Dyon feeding a Moon grade array Planet grade soul qi, he only needed a split second.

In the next instant, both he and Ri disappeared, the array shattering behind them.
