Book 7: Chapter 239: Never Underestimate a True God (3)

A deprecating laughter left his lips. In the face of a genius on Dyon’s level, one could only accept reality. He was still to far from a True God.“Fortunately…” Christian III said, retaining his calm as a brilliant golden armor appeared on his body. “… If you had broken into the celestial realm, I would have no chance … I’ll have to thank your extraordinary foundation for holding you back.”In that moment, his aura skyrocketed to the peak celestial realm. He had brought out a supreme grade treasure of the Goldeen Clan!The moment God Goldeen’s cultivation soared by an entire realm, a domain of fire bloomed out from him, blowing back Dyon’s swords and disrupting his formation entirely.Yes, this wasn’t a pseudo-domain of the celestials, this was a true domain – the kind only a dao formation expert could bring out! To think The Goldeen Family had a treasure of this caliber!Normally, this treasure could even raise the cultivation of a dao expert by a single stage, but now that Christian III had used it in the celestial realm, it raised his by three, breaking him into the peak celestial realm and allowing him to become a 10th stage celestial.This wasn’t the worst part. If it was just a cultivation change, Dyon would just have to put in some extra effort. However, the domain was the true problem. Dyon felt his control over his wills weaken. At the same time, the stamina he used to control his sword formations increased tenfold. If it wasn’t for the fact that God Goldeen couldn’t bring out the full power of this supreme grade treasure as a celestial, Dyon likely wouldn’t even be able to move!Before Dyon could react, God Goldeen took out a 3-meter-long peak transcendent grade spear and shot forward. No matter what, he had to end this quickly. The drain of this supreme grade treasure was too much. If it wasn’t, he would have used it long ago.The situation turned once more.The four scions broke out from Dyon’s formation. Before, they had already weakened due to Dyon fusing wills, but now under this domain, they weakened even further.Madeleine and the beast babies shuddered. Under the suppression of this domain and the suppressive effects still coming from the Lord Creator, they felt it was difficult to ignore. They had to struggle to stay in the air, let alone what happened to their fighting ability.A delicate roar escaped Madeleine’s lips. A swirling pseudo-domain of violet flames and celestial energy bloomed to life, encasing her and the beast babies.To the surprise of the scions, although Madeleine was clearly at a disadvantage, using the support of the beast babies, she managed to just barely hold on as blood leaked from her lips.The battle became more chaotic. Who would have thought that a pseudo-domain could be activated within a true domain? Such a feat would have been impossible had it not been for Christian III being too weak to evoke its true strength.Dyon clashed with the peak celestial God Goldeen. His scythe deflecting the tip of the spear time and time again. Despite being on his backfoot, his countenance was calm.His divine sense pushed itself to the limit, focusing on everything happening around him.When he realized that his sword formations were no longer useful, he dispelled all but nine swords, focusing his might on using them to support Madeleine and the beast babies.Dyon’s attacks became sharper. As the burden on his body lessened, he fought toe to toe with God Goldeen.“[Immortal Radiance: Star Birth].”The immortal image of a Three Legged Golden Crow appeared to God Goldeen’s back. His manifestation shimmered with a mighty light, evoking an ancient aura the martial world hadn’t faced in several epochs.Dyon’s expression turned serious. This was a peak heaven grade martial technique executed by a peak celestial. How could he underestimate it? Still, even if it was of the heaven grade, how much of it had God Goldeen comprehended?Although Dyon had never practiced any scythe techniques, his comprehension abilities were otherworldly. He could infuse his comprehension of other weapons all while bringing his death qi to its absolute peak.The trouble was that common grade techniques didn’t involve any wills. Only by reaching the One with Self realm could true fusion occur. However, this grew more difficult the more wills there were.That said, would Dyon be stupid enough to take out a scythe if he wasn’t prepared for such difficulty?“[Lone Ronin’s Grief: A Life Without Path].”‘A sword technique?!’ God Goldeen’s instincts told him that this was a sword technique. In fact, he felt a huge cognitive dissonance. The base of this technique was of the common grade, so why did it rival his small success heaven grade technique?!A scythe and spear met in the air. No… That wasn’t the case. A spatial tear caused by the scythe and the spear met. No matter how hard the spear tried, it couldn’t close the gap and touch the scythe’s blade!God Goldeen was blasted backward, stumbling through the air one foot at a time as he dissipated the force in three steps. When he saw that Dyon also only took three steps, his brows couldn’t help but furrow. Could he really only tie even after bringing out this trump card? No, he technically lost, his blade couldn’t even touch Dyon’s!A steamy breath left Dyon’s lips. The strain on his mind was too much, it seemed he would have to go all out.“[Inner World…. Sanctuary].”
