Book 7: Chapter 303: Sanctuary Seal (2)

Damaris was stunned by Dyon’s words. No matter how indelicate her words were, she was still a world-class beauty that didn’t lose out to Delia and Madeleine in any way. On top of this, she had a refined draconic aura that made her very tempting for men who took pleasure in conquering head strong women. But, here was a man who didn’t waver at the sight of her, nor did he try to coax her.

Damaris had expected that even if Dyon was eager to fight her, he would do so anyway if for nothing else but to conquer her heart by defeating her.

It was clear here just how arrogant Damaris was. If Dyon knew her thoughts, he might become so enraged that he’d directly give her the attack she was seeking. Despite knowing that Amphorae was his wife she still dared to have such thoughts?

“What did you say to me?!” Damaris’ surprise gave way to rage. Her violet pink hair billowed behind her as faint crystalline scaled began to creep up along her slender legs and arms.

“That’s six months.” Dyon suddenly said.

“What?” Damaris entered a confused state of anger.

“One year.”

“You…”

“One year and a half.”

Dyon’s eyes flashed with a golden light, creating a defensive array he allowed Little Aiden to float on. The little guy was so excited to see something so new and weird that he clapped, observing the swirling gold beneath him.

Damaris didn’t understand the words Dyon was speaking, but what she did understand was the disdain in his eyes. Disdain? Who had ever dared to look at her in such a way?!

“Two years.”

Dyon’s hand stretched outward. Suddenly, Damaris felt an overwhelming danger overtake her senses. As a beast, how could her intuition not be sharp? But, it was already too late.

A palm of golden celestial qi appeared in the air.

“[Vortex Seal].” Dyon’s clearly impatient voice rang out. He implemented one of the many energy manipulation techniques he mastered with a mere thought.

[Vortex Seal] was an area of effect type energy manipulation technique. Some of these techniques increased the density of qi in order to increase striking power, in fact, Orcus’ [Sun God Halo] was one example. But, this one did the direct opposite.

Damaris suddenly felt like her space of command disappeared. The control she felt over her domain as a celestial became nothing more than a toy before Dyon. It was almost as though she was a mortal tossed into a space without oxygen. Not only did she find it difficult to gather up strength, but even controlling her own body seemed impossible.

“[Descending Palm].”

Before Damaris could react, the palm slammed downward. The already cracked Soul Palace grounds shattered even more fiercely.

Meiying could only shake her head. She had put so much effort into renovating the Palace just for this to happen. Wasn’t this big brother of hers being too ungrateful?

Damaris was slammed face first into the marbled floor, her delicate appearance becoming ravaged by cuts and bruises, not to mention an obscene amount of crimson blood. Her once valiant demeanor disappeared.

Thadius and the other Demon Generals felt a keen sense of surprise. Dyon had always been powerful. Even when he had no cultivation to speak of, he had still gained their respect. But this… Wasn’t this too exaggerated?! No matter what, Damaris was still a 9^th Order Middle Celestial!

To make matters worse, he only made use of two common grade techniques! [Vortex Seal] was an energy manipulation technique meant for defensive purposes. When used appropriately, it could mitigate the damage output of an opponent’s attack. It was theoretically impossible for anyone to use it on as large a scale as Dyon had!

Then there was [Descending Palm]. It was a palm technique that took advantage of height leverage to create an imposing palm strike, who would ever think of replicating the technique with celestial qi!? That was like using a golden plated knife to portion out beast dung…

Plus, everyone here could tell that Dyon had only just entered the celestial realm. He hadn’t even reached the peak of the first stage. Since when could lower celestials command so much atmospheric celestial qi, especially in the face of middle celestial? And since when were they so powerful?!

Dyon was obviously the least surprised about all of this. The fusion of Presence with his body might seem like a simple matter, but only when one wielded the power for themselves could they understand just how incomprehensible the strength it gave you was. Even if Damaris was a higher celestial, she would inevitably lose miserably.

“Your cultivation will be sealed for two years. Barging into Soul Palace uninvited. Disrespecting your Sect Master. Threatening your Sect Master.” Dyon’s eyes reddened with an almost irrational rage.

His hand raised again. Damaris, who had lost consciousness, obviously couldn’t react before a beam of sealing energy entered her body. Not only was she completely cut off from her bloodline, disallowing her from entering her dragon form, she lost the ability to communicate with her meridians and soul.

This was a sealing Dyon comprehended alone after entering the celestial realm. His breakthrough allowed him a much deeper understanding of his cultivation technique [Inner World: Sanctuary]. Now, he was able to apply its ability to seal his cultivation paths unto others.

This was the very first true sealing technique he had ever learned. It could only be considered a Lower Earth Grade technique, but he was satisfied with it. He called it [Sanctuary Seal].
