Book 7: Chapter 33: Protect (3)

Head Void’s frown deepened as he scanned Dyon cautiously. Opening up one’s Mind’s Eye to someone else wasn’t a joke. Not everyone had a domineering toddler in theirs like Dyon did.

On top of all of that, beasts were known for their weakness in the soul path. It was even more detrimental to them to do something like this.

However, when Head Void thought about how weak Dyon’s energy cultivation was, he relaxed. Clearly this boy spent all of his time on the body path, making his other paths significantly weaker.

“Begin.” Head Void said sternly.

Although Dyon was still hesitant on the outside, he was jumping for joy on the inside. He was absolutely certain that his Head Void’s soul was no match for his. Even if, by some miracle, Head Void had broken into the dao formation level with his soul, Dyon’s own soul path prowess was comparable to a dao formation expert’s.

Dyon’s hand laid itself upon Head Void’s forehead, steadily streaming his thoughts toward the kitsune head.

The moment the first words of Demon Emperor’s Will began to form in Head Void’s mind, a faint excitement came over him.

‘Divine Grade technique! Definitely a divine grade technique!’ His kitsune clan didn’t even have a single technique of such caliber. Only by bringing their bloodline back to its origin did they have a chance at learning such astounding techniques. However, those who could do so were a pitiful few, which was why their faith seeds were so important to them.

Dyon lulled Head Void into a false sense of security, breaking down his barriers one by one and lowering his guard further. Head Void’s only complaint was that for a divine grade technique, this pace was too slow. At this rate, it would take weeks for Dyon to finish. However, he forced himself to calm down. He assumed that this slow pace was due to Dyon’s poor soul cultivation, which only lowered his guard even more.

Just as Dyon was beginning to feel that it was about the right time to make his move, a stream of celestial energy carrying a message entered Head Void’s Mind’s Eye.

“Family Head, we’ve found traces of destroyed Mystical World entrances. It’s more than 90% likely that the elves escaped into these worlds.”

Dyon’s heart seized when he heard this message. He normally wouldn’t have heard anything, but now that he was connected to Head Void’s Mind’s Eye, he could.

“Good. Good. Good. Secure the entrances and prepare to break in.” Head Void’s mood hadn’t been so good in thousands of years. Not only would he receive a divine grade technique, he’d also receive a supreme grade treasure and get revenge all in a single day? This trip was more than worth the three months he wasted.

“Stop for now, boy.” Head Void spoke directly to Dyon. “This will take weeks at your pitiful pace and I’d like to deal with a few matters first.”

Dyon grit his teeth. The situation couldn’t have been worse.

Head Void was alert again the moment he didn’t follow his instructions immediately. The academy pocket dimensions had been found. And his life was still in danger as Head Void’s vice grip tightened around his neck.

“I said, stop.” Head Void roared.

Dyon sighed inwardly. It seemed that nothing would allow his life to be easy.

“[DEVOUR]!” Dyon’s soul strength surged in an instant, sucking away large portions of Head Void’s Mind’s Eye.

A howl of pain escaped the family head’s lips, immediately alerting the seven kitsune who surged toward his voice the moment they heard it.

Head Void fought back, tearing Dyon’s soul apart, piece by piece. It was simply impossible to attack with the soul and escape unscathed. The only reason Dyon didn’t die instant was because his soul was hundreds of times more powerful than Head Void’s!

“Your soul?!” Akuno Void raged. “You dare trick me?!”

The pressure on Dyon’s neck increased to inconceivable levels. If Head Void had the physical strength a dao formation expert should have, his head would have already been separated from his neck many times over.

Dyon roared with all his might, unleashing the Tree of Life and Death for the first time in decades.

A beautiful crystalline tree appeared in the air, shimmering with an ominous aura. Its root surged forward, piercing into Head Void’s body with all its might.

Under normal circumstances, even if Dyon was a hundred times more powerful he had no chance of piercing the protective layer dao formation experts had. Enigmatic energy was too thick and too powerful for him to even remotely grasp the concept of. However, Head Void’s mind had been thrown into chaos the moment Dyon launched his devouring assault.

Yet, despite all of that, the beautiful crystalline roots barely penetrated a half a centimeter into his tough exterior… Dyon had no choice but to accept it and grit his teeth.
