Book 11: Chapter 66: Guess (2)

“To forcibly open heaven’s gates… to snatch fate from its jaws as you please… This is the essence of my constitution… But is it really a constitution? Or it is my dao heart…?”

Dyon faintly felt the bottleneck on his Titan Diamond Body loosen, but he knew there was no point in trying to breakthrough once again. He understood now that the reason he hadn’t been able to breakthrough before was because he was lacking in comprehension. Now, however, he was lacking in energy.

What a joke this was. In order to perfect Titan Diamond Body, only immortal qi would work. But Dyon’s body couldn’t withstand such a thing right now. In fact, it wouldn’t be able to unless he broke through the mortal plane. But if he broke through the mortal plane, he would lose the chance to perfect his mortal body.

How could this be anything other than a cruel joke?

Still, Dyon was not a normal man. He had already though of two possible solutions.

One was concocting a true immortal grade pill. The trouble was that he didn’t have any immortal grade herbs. This wasn’t a gap he could fill be grafting mortal grade herbs together…

The second solution lied in something that had been playing at the back of his mind for a long time already… The Overlord Realm!

When Dyon was dual cultivating with Ri just now, he realized the progress of her soul’s strength had slowed to a grinding halt. It was as though now that she had entered the third facet, entering the fourth would be impossible.

There was definitely a secret laying silently here. And Dyon wanted to know what it was!

Dyon threw these thoughts to the back of his mind, grinning evilly.

Ri blinked innocently, pretending not to notice. On his other side, Clara rolled her eyes and fell to her pillow, pretending to be asleep. Madeleine took an ‘I can’t hear or see anything’ approach, while the distance between him and Amphorae, despite not actually changing, seemed hundreds of times wider.

“You four actually want to bully me like this?”

Ri tilted her head. “Did you all here anything?”

“Nope.”

“Not a thing.”

“Nothing here.”

Too bad Dyon’s evil grin only deepened. “Oh, it seems I’ve been too magnanimous as a husband.”

He dove toward Ri.

Laughter erupted in the room before fading to moans of passion.

Days later, the group of five found themselves in very familiar surroundings.

Every so often, a new expert would fly overhead, looking down at the river of black with curious gazes. But, not sensing anything different, they could only leave.

“It seems you caused quite the commotion.” Dyon said with a grin.

With his soul strength and Immortal Sense, if he didn’t want to be sensed, it was impossible for these buzzing flies to do so. So, he and his wives didn’t have to hide under any cover, they stood directly by the river’s edge, getting ready to step forward.

Ri pouted. “I still feel a bit uncomfortable about being a full beast now…”

Her words were soft, but Dyon could tell that this really bothered her. His gaze suddenly fell with some guilt.

“I’m sorry. I really didn’t think about it because I’ll love you no matter what you are.”

Seeing Dyon look at her so seriously and say such cheesy words, Ri’s heart couldn’t help but feel warm. Her smile bloomed, all of her worries seemingly flying away.

Clara, Madeleine and Amphorae smiled lightly. Of course they had already said these words to Ri as well, but it seemed she really placed Dyon’s opinion above theirs. It was both jealousy inducing and adorable.

“Was the World Tree really so bad, though?” Ri asked curiously. “He was never anything but good to me.”

Dyon sighed. “I don’t doubt that, but I am certain that he had an ulterior motive.

“Considering the beauty of his world, he seems like a good ruler. However, he crossed a line trying to use you in his schemes. Maybe from his point of view, he wasn’t wrong. What he was doing was for the benefit of his own world. Objectively, there’s nothing wrong with that. But he should have used someone else.”

Seeing Dyon’s stubborn attitude, his wives giggled. He really was too overprotective.

He always spoke about Alauna finding a good husband in recent years as well, but didn’t he know that no one dared to approach her because of him?

Who were they kidding, Dyon definitely knew this. However, in his eyes, if you didn’t have the courage to stand up to him, what right did you have to marry his daughter?

“Alright, let’s go…” Dyon’s gaze turned serious. “… I really want to see what it is the Mist Clan is hiding under there.”

Dyon brought his wives over a familiar scene. The waters beneath his feet directly became calm, looking no different from the surface of a black mirror.

Soon, he dove downward. But, his wives weren’t surprised to see that this location was far different than his last attempt. It seemed he entered the wrong region on purpose back then… In fact, Dyon had purposely chosen the most volatile region for the sake of helping Ri comprehend her water will to a new stage.

Like this, they entered the familiar underwater world, devastation lying in every direction.
