Book 7: Chapter 202: Second Phase (2)

A few days later, Dyon exhaled a hot breath. The air around him trembled, almost as though it was pulling toward his will. That space wanted to leave the constraints of heavenly laws and recognize Dyon has its true master. Dyon’s eyes opened with a flash, a beam of energy shooting outward and surprisingly causing a crack in the wall of the sky castle. ‘The saliva at the top of this vat is already so tyrannical and effective… What is the Dragon Saliva at the bottom like?…’ From the method of Dragon Saliva extraction Dyon understood, a Dragon would be killed and then dissected. Their throat would be taken out and opened. In that case, the newest and freshest Saliva would be on the outside. These portions spent the least amount of time being tempered by Dragon Tongue. Obviously, then, the deeper layers of saliva had been tempered for the longest time. Right now, Dyon was only capable of skimming some off of the top. The deeper portions were still beyond his ability to handle for now. Still, Dyon could tell that the deepest portions would help celestial cultivation at most. This made sense, though. A first phase castle wouldn’t have anything too ground-breaking. The Star Grade pills of the alchemy castle was obviously an exception since it was actually meant to be a trap. Almost as though it was planned, the moment Dyon’s eyes opened, the beast babies walked out from their cultivation. They had stepped out before because they were worried about Dyon, but now it seemed they were on a completely different level to before. If it wasn’t for the fact all of them but Sen were in their adorable toddler forms, they’d look like imposing experts. Shere’s black eyes flickered with a deep blue occasionally that gave off a dangerous light. Sen’s massive body pulsated with an illusory royal armor, it seemed to follow his breath, appearing and disappearing with his every inhale and exhale. Biibi might have had the least improvement, but from her aura, Dyon could tell that she too had stepped into the King realm. Finally, there was Linlin who Dyon found it difficult to see through completely. Her eyes contained a depth that didn’t match her cute, chubby face. Dyon smiled lightly. “It seems you’re all prepared. The second phase is probably a mess by now already. This is a matter of life and death for them. Without gaining a key to the third phase, they can only die on the grounds below. “We have many enemies, all of them with ill-intentions. But, I plan on wiping them all out. Are you with me?” Dyon’s Presence shattered the space around him. He had a feeling that if he summons his projection of his inner world now, its effects would be devastating. Shere’s small face grinned with an evil light. “I haven’t killed enough yet, big brother. I can feel my slaughter heart awakening.” If someone from the mortal world saw Shere now, they’d immediately think that she was a horror movie antagonist. Even Dyon couldn’t help but feel his heart thump at her vigor. “Good! Let’s go.” **Unlike the first phase, the second phase only had a single visible castle. According to Madeleine, it was supposed to have several invisible castles, just like the first phase, but Dyon had no intention of going to them. Dyon had thought with how much he took his time, many would have long since found and taken advantage of this singular visible castle. But, he had forgotten two things. For one, the second phase involved sky castles that were much higher in the skies than previously, at least by several hundred kilometers. Even worse, those who had relied on flying beasts to reach the first sky castles were out of luck. Now that the seals on these beasts were undone, they had awakened to Pseudo-Dao Formation cultivations. In fact, many were killed by their flying beasts, being unaware of the change in rules. Secondly, not everyone had Dyon’s divine sense. How difficult was it to find a single castle, several hundred kilometers in the sky, within a world that was 500 000 km from start to end? Too difficult! So, even while Dyon wasted months, taking his time and still finding that castle almost immediately, others spent months struggling to find methods of flying safely into the skies all while avoiding the dangerous beasts below and the winged beasts of the skies. More than a few would be angered by the ease of Dyon’s experience compared to theirs. Currently, many stood in the air using various means. Those of the Sapientia Guilds used defensive formations they either created themselves or that came from array plates. Some of the better ones among them used their Beast Master abilities to tame those wild Pseudo-Dao formation beasts, giving them an advantage unto themselves. Surprisingly, those of the Golden Crow Sect didn’t have any problems standing in the air. Their golden flames ignored the laws of this Mystical World, allowing them to soar into the skies with ease. This was a matter that made sharp individuals narrow their eyes. Finally, the remainder of the young geniuses used flying treasures they had brought in with them, carrying members they saw as friends or fellow disciples with them. Still, no one dared to move. Unlike the previous castles where they simply stormed in, this castle seemed different. It stood with an imposing air, bearing down on them with a cruel yet illusory feeling. However, what many couldn’t take their eyes off were the Sentries that protected the doors. There were a total of fifty of them, each of whom gave off an aura between the high celestial and peak celestial realm and one of which was a pseudo-dao expert! It was no wonder they didn’t dare to move…It was at this moment that everyone looked in the same direction to find a handsome young man sitting on the back of a massive beast, heading toward them as though he was taking a stroll.
