Chapter 1911 Reclaim
Dyon casually strolled through the depths of the 99 universes, feeling much better.
All those decades ago, Dyon had gotten very used to battling high level experts thanks to the Sapientia Ancestor. Keeping himself sharp like this was a good thing. But, still not as good as making the 99 universes implode with just a few words.
As for the support the Sapientia might send to quell things? Dyon wasn't worried about. Those arrays that the 24th White Mother created had already been snatched back by him completely. There was nothing to worry about for now.
One day, he would let the Sapientia feel his rage as well.
"Just what did you do?" Chenglei asked seriously from within Dyon's inner world.
"Oh that?" Dyon laughed. "Elder Nova wasn't completely useless. At the very least, he never attempted to rape anybody. n--OvelBIn
"The Sona Princess that is currently in a coma is a very interesting case. I slipped into Sona Clan territory a few days ago and scanned her body, so I understood why she did the things she did.
"She has a very special constitution that allows her to use the Sona Clan's core treasure, a pseudo weapon of the 33 heavens known as the Sona Sphere. It has the ability, theoretically, to make any strike resonate endlessly. But, using it is difficult because it places great strain on the soul. Princess Sona happened to be the only one who could use it despite having her soul crippled at birth.
"The Ceres and Profound Earth Sect wanted it, but she wasn't an easy target. So, they took advantage of the love Yuhan and the princess shared, feeding him an aphrodisiac.
"The Princess fought back because she didn't want to lose her virginity in that way even if she loved Yuhan, but she couldn't bear to kill him either. I'm not sure of the details, but I'm guessing Yuhan got very close to succeeding before ultimately failing.
"When the princess woke up from those events, she found that her Primordial Yin was 'gone'. When in reality, the Ceres Clan just used some special means to hide it from her senses, making her think Yuhan had succeeded.
"She then attempted to kill herself, not wanting to live knowing that a man she loved had done such a thing to her. But she was saved by her father in the end before she could succeed and fell into a coma.
"This ruined the plans of the Ceres and Profound Earth Sect because without her death, the Sona Sphere they stole during the supposed 'rape' incident would still recognize her as the owner. And, because of her special constitution, it was too difficult for them to break this ownership."
Dyon sneered. "So many problems caused by lack of soul cultivation, yet they still dare to peddle such a trash ideology.
"They likely enlisted the help of their Ancestors to help create the Profound Resonance Bell with the Sona Sphere as its core.
"Every time someone challenges it and the bell rings, the Princess' imprint on the Sona Sphere becomes weaker and they're another step closer to taking it for themselves."
Chenglei laughed. "They're really so pathetic that they had to rely on the challenges of children to accomplish something they couldn't?"
"It really is pathetic." Dyon agreed. "Every time the bell is rung, it attacks your soul. The Profound Earth Sect said that anyone who couldn't withstand it, didn't deserve to challenge their Sect. They even shamelessly said that you must withstand the ring once for every cultivation Realm you've climbed.
"Shameless doesn't begin to describe it. And what's maybe even more sad is that they used such a treasure as the core to make another, yet the result was a treasure several grades before the original."
"So did you take the Sona Sphere?"
Dyon shook his head. "It's more useful to me for Head Sona to discover it's there. I don't particularly need it anyway. After all..."
Dyon's gaze turned cold as he gazed toward a turbulent Nebula swirling with green, purple and blue chaotic qi. A peak celestial would die in an instant if they stood where he was standing now, and he had yet to enter the Nebula's true range.
"... There are more valuable treasures hidden in this place. It's time I reclaim what's mine."
...
Dyon could immediately feel that the swirling hot gasses of the nebula wanted to erode his soul qi. If it hadn't been for his evolution into Immortal Sense, this would have posed a great problem for him in the past.
In truth, he had to applaud the Ancestors of the Celestial Deer Sect. If nothing else, they were quite bold. To dare to hide their Legacy so deep within enemy territory... Dyon couldn't help but grin. Whoever the last Sect Head of the Celestial Deer Sect was... He was quite to Dyon's liking.
Not only was this Nebula within the territory of the 99 universes, it was hidden deep within the Nova Clan's core universe.
A large part of the reason the Nova Clan had such a name sake was because their cultivation techniques revolved around absorbing these oppressive and violent gasses. It was part of the reason they were the strongest of the four Clans of these 99 universes.
The idea of absorbing these gasses was intriguing to Dyon, but it was ultimately useless to him. The red crystals he had found in the wyvern's layer all those years ago held a similar type of qi. In fact, that qi was many times more potent than these Nebula Vapors despite only being of the saint grade. To now, the only more oppressive attack Dyon had in terms of pure base power, ignoring techniques, was an attack with his Chaos Flames. The attack he could produce with that red qi ranked second.
Of course, Dyon's Chaos Flames had still yet to awaken their true strength, so this didn't mean much on the surface. But it was worth mentioning that this second-place rank was with the saint grade of this red qi. Who knows how powerful a celestial grade, or even dao grade, version would be?
[Author's Note: This red qi was found a while ago. Hasn't been mentioned since Dyon found it in wyvern territory.]
