Book 8: Chapter 29: Underestimation (2)

“Big brother, I think you overdid it,” Sen teased. But, judging by the boisterous laughter that left his lips, clearly, he didn’t care.

Dyon bitterly smiled. “I guess so.”

It was Dyon’s first time testing out [Shrink], how could he know its effects would be so exaggerated? It was a good thing that it took him so long to condense the arrow, or else he wouldn’t even trust himself to wield its power if he could just spam them.

‘Maybe it wasn’t just [Shrink]…’ Dyon thought to himself. ‘It seems I’ve underestimated the destructive capabilities of my chaos flames…’

In the distance, Kere and Rahl looked backward, incomparably serious expressions coating their beautiful expressions.

“You think that was a message to us, Sis Rahl?” Kere’s petite, loveable figure rippled slightly. Her smiling, giggling appearance was completely gone. It seemed like she was eager to tear something apart.

Drathal remained silent, staring off into the distance. The reason he could travel with these two wasn’t because he was a lacky, but rather because it wouldn’t be long before he too entered the pseudo-dao realm. In reality, they were pretty much equal.

“You two need to be calmer than you are.” Rahl said calmly. “In all your anger and arrogance, you’ve forgotten that he’s only a lower celestial. How powerful do you think he’ll be once he reaches our cultivation realm? Our only chance to leave him behind is to never allow his cultivation to catch up to ours in the first place.”

“I want to beat him to a pulp.” Kere growled. The flickering of beautiful emerald scales pulsed upon her body, eager to burst out.

“If I’m not wrong.” Drathal said, ignoring Kere’s comments. “He either has the martial saint constitution, or has taken a martial saint pill like those outer quadrant cunts.”

The three fell into silence. They refused to believe that Dyon had so many god constitutions. The only explanation was that he had taken a pill.

However, one had to remember that the martial saint pill was a star grade ancient pill. If Dyon heard their words, he would be confused. With how far array alchemy had fallen in this era, how could anyone, even if they were from the outer quadrants, possibly have that pill?

“It’s not impossible. That Higher Existence Lady Sacharro is more than qualified to have such resources.” Rahl said calmly.

“Shameless.” Kere growled. “All people like him know how to do is rely on others and their foundations. He had no true strength of his own.”

“That thinking is why us Dragons and Qilins will never truly rule everything.” Rahl said in a slightly annoyed tone. “We have five quadrants, yet only a handful of King God Clans, not even a single Emperor God Clan to speak of. We have the greatest battle constitutions among any race to ever exist. We’re the only ancient beasts to not lose the power of their bloodlines over time. Yet, we’re relegated to being among these mere tower quadrants and we’re not even first among them.

“Where has your pride gotten you?” Rahl said with a sigh. Despite her words, Rahl knew very well that she would never allow someone else to rule her. She was the very definition of a hypocrite. Even if she was aware of these things, she’d never change.

“That’s only one way to think about it.” Drathal said blandly. “Maybe it’s the very fact we are this way that our bloodlines haven’t declined. We’re always seeking to be the strongest! We don’t rely on anyone but ourselves! If we had followed their path, our Clans would have fallen just like theirs. By now, we’d be among those trash Abandoned Clans who can’t accept their loss.”

Rahl’s eyes flickered with an odd light, but she dropped the matter. It was time they returned to their own training regiments.

“Let’s go snatch his wife’s territory.” Kere said in another growl, clearly unsatisfied.

“That’s enough Kere. There’s no need to form an irreconcilable enmity with him. Let’s go.”

As Rahl left, she could feel a pair of eyes on her back acting as a warning. But, she simply smiled and went about her business.

On the middle tier, Madeleine was in fact embroiled in a battle. However, it definitely wasn’t going how her sneak attackers expected it to.

Madeleine was on a completely different level. It was revealed that she had already entered the Higher Celestial Realm! This sort of cultivation speed… It could only be the result of Goddess’ Disposition, nothing else could explain it. Just two years ago, she had only just entered the middle celestial realm, yet she was already a higher celestial!

One had to remember that unlike Dyon who was around 60 to 70 years old already, Madeleine was still in her early 40s! A higher celestial of only 40 or so years old… It was enough to make people die of anger.

Yet, this was only the matter on the surface. After continuously dual cultivating with Dyon, Madeleine’s flames had reached a level of potency they never had before. Those who believed they had already witnessed the extent of Madeleine’s violet flames were shocked to find out that they were severely lacking.

The best part was that after balancing her flames’ characteristics, Madeleine reincarnation comprehension had skyrocketed. She then quickly made use of it to open her 112^th meridian!

As of now, Madeleine was a 13^th Order Higher Celestial. Let alone those who came now, even Dyon would have to duck his head and plead for forgiveness.
