Chapter 1282 - Youngsters (3) (1/2)

Dyon's eyes narrowed slightly as their auras rose. Obviously, since even Dyon wouldn't be able to bridge the gap between a celestial and a pseudo-saint with only a single formation core, he wasn't worried about their boost in power. What he was apprehensive about was what other tricks they could have up their sleeves.

With a single thought, Dyon leaped backward. He didn't want to give the impression that he knew what Prince Nova's trump card was, or else most of this would be for naught.

The aura of the five youngsters soared, breaching sainthood barrier and shattering it.

As expected, the gate didn't react to this change. It seemed it understood the difference between true saint cultivation, and this fake one. Dyon had to admit he was impressed with his grand teacher for building such an intricate world.

'It seems that these people weren't too stupid in laying down their bait after all…' Dyon thought to himself.

In the beginning, Dyon felt that the 99 universes were a little too… 'giving' in their bait. They left so many useful things behind for Dyon in Soul Rending Peak that it was almost too good to be true.

Of course, things like the Master Symbol and the entrance to the Mystical World would never be deciphered by them. But, other things like Mystic Level technique and the Formation Cores were undoubtedly extremely valuable.

However, it seemed that the reality was that they only left behind things they were comfortable with leaving… In fact, technically speaking, they only left one formation core with Soul Rending Peak, the other two that Dyon received came from their people.

'Hm… Master isn't here so I can't ask her about what else is missing from Soul Rending Peak. I'll have to take inventory when I go back…'

While Dyon's mind was going on overdrive, so was Prince Nova's.

'They seem like body cultivators, but grandfather said that there was a good chance they knew about us since they destroyed the master arrays. How would those of the Body Path know about the importance of those arrays and the danger it could pose to them?'

The more Prince Nova thought, the surer that there was more than what met the eye to this story. However, his mind was blown away once more when his fists collided with Dyon's.

By all rights, after raising his cultivation to the saint realm, he should have completely destroyed his opponent, but Dyon was handling him just as easily as before!

Dyon grinned. ”This trump card of yours is amazing. I had thought that this would be a thankless task, but to think you'd deliver something so great to me.”

Prince Nova's expression remained hardened. He didn't even notice the slight bits of sealing energy entering his arm.

”Don't be like that. Can't you tell the difference between us now? The only reason I haven't killed you is because I'm quite interested in just who you people are… Could you be related to that Elder Nova fellow?”

Prince Nova froze, resulting in a palm strike from Dyon landing squarely on his c.h.e.s.t.

”Axel!” Tove's delicate voice called out after seeing the young prince being flung away, however she was being tied down by several clones at once and wasn't in any position to help.
