Chapter 1834 Despair
Though the resultant Dragon Soul Chenglei ended up with after absorbing it all was a half-step below that grade, it still meant that Chenglei was only a step away from having the strongest Dragon Soul in countless eras. Even the Dragon King only reached this stage!
This was hardly the only benefit of Chenglei"s mental breakthrough.
For one, he felt that his cultivation speed had skyrocketed. He felt like he only needed 10 years to reach the peak of the 12th Dao Formation Stage, 100 years to become a Higher Existence, and that he could transcend immediately after clearing his Higher Existence trial! This was the benefit of breaking free from the shackles of the Heavens!
To make matters more shocking, this was only if he didn"t reform his Dao Heart first. If he managed to find his path and form it, he would be able to transcend in as little as a decade!
However, at this moment, Chenglei felt something Dragons rarely felt… A deep sense of grat.i.tude. He swore in his heart that even if he formed his Dao Heart, he wouldn"t transcend until Dyon did.
For this life, and even if there was a next, he would always be Dyon"s partner!
Dyon suddenly erupted into an uproarious laughter. He felt that his soul had been so unfettered recently, as though he had not a care in the world.
"Since that"s the case, I humbly accept! Chenglei!" A pill appeared in Dyon"s hand. Without hesitation, he flicked it up into the air, forcing to arc upward several hundred meters.
Chenglei snorted. "Do I look like a dog to you?"
Even though he said this, he grinned wildly. His sharp teeth glistened like silver as his body shot into the air.
His jaw opened, devouring the pill whole.
In that instant, Chenglei"s aura exploded to a new height. He roared as the meridians of his body were forcibly rearranged. But, it wasn"t one of pain, but rather… Delight.
How could he not feel this way after swallowing a Martial Saint pill?
Under the suppression of his Dragon Soul, qi was forcefully pulled into his body. Even if this meant it would take him longer to reach the Higher Existence Realm now, he didn"t feel an ounce of reluctance. Following Dyon truly was the greatest short to reaching the top of the world!
Looking toward the pitiful dao experts, Chenglei almost felt bad for them as his meridians began to form one after another. Who asked them to offend Dyon?
Logically speaking, he should have been in a coma for several months after forming so many meridians at the dao realm… But he had already broken Heaven"s Shackles!
Just like a Heaven"s Child would instantly become one of the greatest experts in all of existence if they managed to break their chains, so too was Chenglei experiencing this now. The restrictions normal people faced didn"t apply to him!
"Aiya, I can"t let you have all the fun, Chenglei. How am I supposed to show my disciple my might like this?"
The poor dao experts hadn"t even managed to reach a kilometer radius around them, yet all Chenglei had done was roar and snort.
Brahman felt his lip twitch. He looked toward the seven dao experts with an apologetic expression. He was truly sorry, their pain was all his fault. Maybe if he accepted Dyon"s kind intentions immediately, they would have had a less painful experience.
He didn"t believe Dyon was cheating by calling on Chenglei… First of all, since when was subduing a Dragon an easy affair? And second, the path of the beast tamer was a soul path endeavor.
Still, it seemed like Dyon wasn"t satisfied with only this, as though he wanted the world to know he had arrived.
"In the past the kitsune clan saw fit to bully my little sister in law."
The amus.e.m.e.nt in Dyon"s eyes had completely faded, replaced by an emotionless cold.
The three Grand Elders felt their souls tremble.
"I hear that although Aki Void was the main culprit, the elders of the Jikan, Heaven and Void Clans all silently a.s.sented. I hear that you believed that although Kukan"s Faith Seed chose my little sister-in-law, that she didn"t have the right to wield it… That only your three Clans could decide who held power and who didn"t… And if she wanted to wield something she had no right to, she had to break her marriage with my little cousin and marry your clan"s heir…
"Is all of that right?"
Though Dyon said this as though he was asking, the images of the scene were already replaying from the tower spirit.
[Author"s Note: Remember the reason Ri could escape was because Dyon gave her the tower back then. So it recorded everything that happened as usual].
The more they watched, the more despair the Grand Elder"s felt.
"Though I"m not a murderous individual who would wipe your Clans from existence, today, you will all die. You, along with the upper echelon of the Jikan, Heaven and Void Clan will all die here today…"
In that moment, everyone finally noticed the changes in the distance.
Countless yellow stone floating islands charged toward them. The closer they got, the more suppression the qi and body paths felt.
In an instant, the island slammed into one another, forming a ma.s.sive continent so large it blocked out the skies and descended the Gate into darkness.
Knowing the rules of the Gate, Dyon"s enemies paled.
One after another, they fell from the skies, unable to control their qi to stay afloat.
They couldn"t understand how this had happened. All of the soul floating islands had been moved to the edge of the Gate, they should have been far out of reach. Much less conquer them, one couldn"t even see or sense them from here!
How could they know that Dyon"s Divine Sense reached the edge of these gates? How could they know a single string of Dyon"s soul qi was enough to force these yellow islands into submission?
