Chapter 1729 - Five Species (3) (1/2)

Unlike what Dyon believed, the blue whales fell under his command with absolute ease. Even the three colonies that came to their aid faired no better. The moment Dyon realized that his Presence could be used without reserve, these so-called beasts didn't stand a single chance.

In just a half hour, Dyon captured 3 warrior colonies for a total of 36 blue whales. However, this realization made him apprehensive.

At the moment, he and Ri had exited the oceans, catching their breath on the golden yacht above.

Dyon helped Ri get rid of the excess cold qi still bothering her.

”The good news is that cold qi can't be absorbed just because you want to absorb it. My ice will is only a step away from the half-step dao realm, yet I couldn't handle it all even with your protective measures. The bad news is that the blue whales are too weak to Presence. If we take them into battle like this, they'll be rendered useless in an instant.”

Dyon nodded in agreement. Though the problem was resolved so easily, it was more of a bad thing than a good. If they could deal with it so simply, that meant others could too. If they wanted to rely on the enemy's lack of information, then that means it would only work once.

After going through so much trouble to capture these blue whales, they could only use them one time? How was that worth it at all?

”Something's fishy.” Dyon said with a frown. ”Presence is rooted in the body. How can beasts with such tyrannically large bodies be so susceptible to Presence? Even if they don't have Presence of their own, they should be able to resist at least somewhat.”

”Maybe it's not just Presence.” Ri supplemented. ”They had to deal with fear of The Seal and my natural bloodline suppression of them as well. It might have been a combination of those three things.”

Although Ri said this, she knew that it was grasping at straws. The blue whales were mere common grade beasts, how hard would it be to find an earth grade beast to suppress them? Even for middle rung clans such a task would be too simple.

Even if The Seal wouldn't necessary be easy to replicate, who was to say that weaker treasures wouldn't work as well?

Suddenly Dyon brought his fist to his palm. ”I've got a crazy idea.”

Ri tilted her head.

”Remember the Daiyu Ancestor?” Dyon asked with a grin.

”You mean?” Ri's eyes widened. ”But the [Dragon Refining Arts] you got from the second trial… I thought you said that you would need to fully comprehend Runic Vein Theory before you knew if it was real or not?”

”Originally, yes.” Dyon grinned. ”But, I don't need to now. We have the Demon Sage, don't we? He has more understanding of Runic Vein Theory than I could ever imagine. If we combine the [Dragon Refining Arts] and the Dragon Souls we exploited from the Daiyu Ancestor, what are the odds that that would fix the weakness of the blue whales?”
