Book 8: Chapter 103: Faith (1)

Nine believed she had been one step ahead this time. She felt Thirteen’s life leave her body and just in case, she had taken the onslaught of cold qi in order to inject a volatile wave of enigmatic qi. She was surprised by the fact that despite her cultivation, the cold qi still infiltrated her body so quickly, but she found it to be worth it.

Beasts that were adept with their souls were incredibly rare. As far as Dyon was aware, there was only one: The Celestial Deer. However, this day, he had met another: The Dream Panther.

Though Nine didn’t know exactly what was happening, especially with the fact she couldn’t use her divine sense, her intuition was sharp. Her Perception caught fluctuations of sealing energy that made her soul palpitate, so she immediately guessed what was happening. The enemy actually had the ability to seal them!

Nine acted as an expert of her caliber would and immediately took action to cut off Thirteen’s life. Since she couldn’t make use of her own soul qi, she had no choice. Though, she didn’t know that even if she could, she would be no match for The Seal.

Still, it was obvious that she wasn’t in a good mood at all. Three numbered warriors, all of whom were under her charge, actually died. They had only been battling for three days yet Nine had seen more dao experts die during that time than she had in the last 30 years.

Unfortunately for Nine, she had no idea that her actions had given Dyon another opportunity to mount a sneak attack. While she was focusing on dispelling the cold qi from herself, Thirteen was being quickly revived within Dyon’s Inner World!

Even if Nine knew Dyon had a planet grade pill, she still wasn’t worried. The reason she went out of her way to inject Thirteen’s body with volatile qi was to make such a method useless. She knew she didn’t have the time to crush Thirteen’s soul, so she made do with this method.

From Nine’s perspective, only an individual with higher enigmatic qi purity than herself could dispel that qi. As a result, even if Dyon had such a pill, it would be useless. Thirteen would die after the pill’s medicinal effects ran out.

However, what Nine didn’t know was that Dyon was perfectly capable of this… Because he had a space where he acted as God!

After putting Thirteen into his inner world, Dyon directly crushed all of his remaining arrows with the exception of the two most powerful white-black ones. He knew that he had to give up much of what he had if he wanted any hope of controlling the extracted enigmatic qi.

It was a shame Dyon could only project his body into his inner world and not his real body, or else he would be near invincible.

‘This is no good.’ Dyon thought quickly. ‘I need focus to extract this enigmatic qi, but those three won’t just wait for me.’

Ten was heavily injured and Nine was focusing slamming her fists into the water around herself in order to slowly dispel the cold qi. However, Eleven was in near perfect condition.

Obviously, Dyon didn’t believe that Eleven would foolishly charge ahead herself, but he couldn’t relax in this situation or else they would feel something was wrong. Dyon had to press them. Therefore, he sent the two sentries forward once more. Due to the situation, Eleven was forced to battle them both alone.

‘Can I take Eleven out in this sort of situation?’ Dyon vehemently shook his head. ‘Don’t be greedy, focus!’

Dyon’s mind split three ways. One controlling both sentries, the other monitoring the movements of the three remaining numbered warriors, and he last completely focused on extracting the volatile energy from Thirteen’s lifeless corpse.

Dyon grit his teeth as beads of sweat accumulated along his whale fat covered skin. If he still had the Energy Core, this process would have been easy beyond belief. But, he had given it to Granny Celest so that she could become a 12^th stage dao formation cultivator within the next few hundred years. It did him no good to think of the what ifs.

Dyon’s heart thumped. Enigmatic qi was truly on a completely different level in comparison to celestial qi. It felt like even the smallest strand could destroy his body and soul.

‘Wait, I can use my spiritual vein.’ Dyon’s eyes glowed with hope just when he felt he was climbing an insurmountable mountain.

One of Dyon’s 6 rewards for completing his trials had been a spiritual vein. Up to now, it had been sitting dormant within his Inner World, passively accumulating energy from the various places Dyon had come across during his travels.

Thanks to the Energy Core that had once formed its core, it had grown much larger than the usual limits of a spiritual vein. The reason it could still sustain itself now was precisely because Dyon was the God of his own space. This allowed him to stabilize it.

‘Please accept it!’ Dyon grit his teeth. He had forgotten it for so long, but Dyon had experienced more than a hundred years of life since he left the God Trials. In this time, his spiritual vein had grown to astronomic levels. It was to the point where it hardly fit within his inner world.

It was time for it to make itself useful!
