Book 7: Chapter 19: Titan Emperor (3)

“Interesting.” Dyon scanned Abraham with a glint of interest in his eye. While others mistook this to mean that he was taking him seriously as an opponent, in Dyon’s mind he saw a lab rat. This was the first time he had an opponent who had and could use faith.

Just like the campaign gates, cultivators were barred from using faith within the tower as well. Maybe if Dyon’s enemies had their faith in the Valley of Geniuses, he would have lost.

As for the Devil Cultivators, if they had used their faith, they would have been immediately exposed. So, they too couldn’t have.

Then there were those of Soul Rending Peak. They didn’t have a person acknowledged by the Master Symbol, how could they mobilize the faith of their sect? You quite literally had individuals named to the core disciple ranks that didn’t even deserve to be outer disciples.

Unfortunately for Abraham, he mistook the glint in Dyon’s eye the same way everyone else did.

“Although I am vaguely thankful for the opportunity you gave me, I unfortunately have to kill you. The death of a son or daughter of the Uidah can’t be decided by you.”

“Listen.” Dyon stretched his neck. “There’s a whole lot of time being wasted here, I still haven’t visited my in-laws. I’m not interested in your fake Buddha persona. If you want to attack, attack. You know what? I’ll do it for you.”

Dyon disappeared in the next instant, causing Abraham’s eyes to widen.

In the next moment, Dyon who had just been standing more than half a kilometer from Abraham suddenly appeared in the middle of the Aumen army, stunning the arrogant Uidah who followed them here.

“This is the difference between you and me.” Dyon softly landed on the ground, not making a single sound as he stretched his chin over Abraham’s shoulder. “Now Kneel.”

An overwhelming pressure blazed through the battlefield the moment Dyon’s words left his lips. He didn’t even bother to tap into his Emperor grade Presence. For these fools, Duke was more than enough.

Thousands froze all at once, falling to their knees in the next instant under the astonished eyes.

Dyon’s eyes scanned over the Aumen army in interest. As expected, their arrogance and will to fight had disappeared and they could only look toward Dyon in fear. However, what was intriguing was that although the Uidah showed fear and seemed to be paralyzed, they remained standing.

“I see, I see.” Dyon nodded. “So is this the dignity that faith provides to you? It protects from Presence as well? I’ll have to keep that in mind.”

Looking at the Uidah who had come, there were just a few hundred of them. However, the five who stood at the front were the five Dyon assumed were the new essence sons and daughters.

Dyon chuckled to himself as he had a funny thought. He had already controlled ten of their sons and daughter, five former meridian sons and five former essence sons.

From what it looked like now, they had all graduated to the saint tier except for Kaghaen. Dyon was wrong about Abraham leap frogging Silvyr, because she wasn’t present. Clearly, she had already broken into the saint realm as well.

Dyon looked at Kaghaen who happened to be the only one kneeling. “What happened to you?”

“I apologize for my incompetence.” Kaghaen replied respectfully. “When we realized that you wouldn’t be back before we all moved on and became saints, I volunteered to suppress my cultivation at the essence tier. However, I never would have thought that Abraham would become a stronger essence gatherer than me, so it ruined your plans. Please punish me!”

Dyon was surprised by how much loyalty Kaghaen was displaying. It seemed he underestimated the value the tower had to geniuses who hadn’t grown used to it.

Of course, part of the reason was because Dyon had a seal within Kaghaen that left his life and death in his hands. But, one only needs to look toward Elder Nova to know that just having a seal didn’t guarantee this kind of showing.

Those who were listening were shocked, but those who knew Dyon suddenly sighed in relief. He really hadn’t left them without a plan, it was just that it fell through at the last moment.

“Abraham is stronger than you despite your having access to the Ethereal Permeation trial?” Dyon asked in surprise.

One had to remember that the first interaction Dyon had with this supreme law was with Alidor. It had somehow become the staple of those with Uidah blood running through their veins. So, Dyon had thought that by giving them access to the tower, they should have progressed far beyond their peers.

That said, it was curious. Dyon wondered how the Uidah and Alidor’s family, the Guatama, had come to specialize in his grand teacher’s will. But, that was hardly important now.

Kaghaen lowered his head in shame. “Abraham was born with denser than normal Uidah blood and the Guatama family faith seed, Buddha’s Third Eye. I am not talented compared to him.”

“I see…” From Dyon’s understanding, the Uidah and the Guatama were two sides of the same coin. For their powers to coalesce into one individual really would have astounding affects. This was something that hadn’t happened since the Uidah conspired to destroy Alidor’s Guatama family.

At this point, Abraham was sweating in fear. He realized now that the current him was far below Dyon, yet his right-hand man was actually already a subordinate of this man?!

What did this mean?… It meant that Dyon was already strong enough to wipe the floor with essence sons and daughter more than 20 years ago!
