The surrounding celestials stood frozen in shock. When Dyon acted, they hadn't bothered to take action themselves, after all, they could all see that Dyon was blindly attacking two celestials. What chance could he possibly have in that exchange?
However, the first exchange completely baffled them. An essence gatherer with that kind of speed? What kind of ridiculous concept was that? He didn't even use any wills either?!
And those wings… Why did they look so familiar? Why did they give off such an oppressive aura that made their human bloodlines shiver in fear? What kind of background did this young man have to possess such power?!
And then for him to so easily swat away a celestial. Although they were aware that his body was powerful after his roar and threat toward Violet, seeing it for themselves made them intake a breath.
From the beginning, they were treating this young man as a member of the younger generation, when it turned out he was actually on par with some of them!
That said… Nothing was more shocking than the result of the final exchange…
When Aldo's fist flew forward, they immediately recognized him as a member of the Kong family. Considering the highest ranked quadrant in attendance were of the 47th quadrant, Aldo was definitely of high birth even among them. There was simply no mistaking the noble blue radiance and diamond like defense of the Kong bloodline technique.
For a middle celestial of the third grade to unleash such a fierce attack on an essence gatherer, the results should have been clear and obvious. Yet, the results were complete beside the expectations.
The moment Aldo Kong's fist landed and sent Dyon flying away, it wasn't just Dyon who flew into the distance! Dyon had actually grabbed a firm hold of Violet's neck first, taking her crashing through the mountains with him.
This should have been completely impossible. There was no way a middle celestial would mistime the speed of a mere essence gatherer not once, but twice.
However, that was when they realized something even more shocking! Aldo, a member of a family known for their overwhelming strength and overbearing defense was actually roaring in pain!
His once burly arm, filled with veins coursing with noble blue blood and powerful muscles had exploded into a bloody mist.
There was nothing but white bone left from the tips of his fingers to the mid-way point of his forearm. Even his diamond-like bones clearly showed several fractures… It was as though his entire arm could fall apart with the slightest gust of wind.
Without a doubt, had it not been Aldo who attacked, but someone less adept at defense, their entire arm would have collapsed into a blood mist leaving nothing but empty space.
Aldo's roar of pain attracted his son's and the Master's attention. But, when they saw his arm, they fell into endless shock.
What the hell happened?!
'Violet!' The Master panicked, finally noticing that his daughter was gone.
It was at this moment that Dyon slowly got up in the distance. Unlike the completely disheveled and injured Violet, he was actually doing quite well. Such was the result of him using Violet as a spearhead to slow his blasting through the mountains.
Violet's once delicate face had become swollen, her clothes torn in multiple places, while tears of anger, pain and fear rushed down her cheeks.
Dyon held her up by her neck, taking out a silver plaque housing a defensive array and crushing it. Considering these could block the strike of an 8th stage saint, she had no chance of breaking it.
Watching on with an indifferent expression, the defensive array began to change form. Violet's clothes were completely sheered apart, exposing her n.a.k.e.d body. However, Dyon wasn't moved. The l.u.s.t of his demon sage bloodline was filled with nothing but endless rage at the moment. He would sooner throw Violet into a pack of beasts to be eaten than ravage her himself.
The spikes formed by the defensive array changed form, ignoring Violet's shrieking.
Her body contorted, being forced into a kneeling position. However, Dyon forced her head to stay up. He wanted her to watch what happened next.
Seeing his daughter treated like this, the Master cried tears of blood. He had to watch his wife be taken by another man, now he had to watch this happen to his daughter?! How could a man handle something like this?!
Dyon, however, remained indifferent to it all. He was much more focused on his master's berating.
'You cheated, Little Dyon. Although a Dragon Scale doesn't have a formal ranking among treasures, its uses alone could be compared to a supreme level treasure. Do you take your master's words as air? If you dare to break my rules again, I'll double the number of techniques you need to master!'
Dyon couldn't help but chuckle bitterly hearing this.
'And don't think I didn't notice that you used your Presence earlier as well. You're in no position to defeat a core elder so easily while suppressed. Plus, using a Planet level array could also be considered cheating.'
'I got it master, I promise I won't use it again unless my life is really in danger.'
'Good. But, I'm still going to punish you later.' The 25th White Mother said triumphantly.
While his master reprimanded him, Dyon could help but be in awe at the strength of the Dragon scale.
This dragon scale was one of his 6 trial rewards. Originally, he had taken it for the half-step emperor dragon soul bloodline within. However, he later learned he could manipulate it like a shield and weapon. After all, what could have more defense and sharpness in comparison to a dragon's scale? It was no wonder Aldo suffered such a loss.
