Chapter 2323 - Seek (1) (1/2)

Dyon's bloodshot eyes stared at the pile of ashes. A faint pearly light was nested within.

This was the one part of Ri's body that he went all out to protect: her soul.

Dyon had really had no choice in this matter. He couldn't continue allowing Ri to carry around a looming danger. He didn't know exactly what the World Tree was planning with Ri, but its presence was absolutely unacceptable to him.

The matter he learned from the dwarves had been grating on his mind for too long. It had already been 6 years since that day, yet it was a constant shadow over his heart from start to finish.

When he realized that his theory about the ancient battlefield was correct, he knew that this was his chance to free Ri's shackles.

The problem was that he couldn't underestimate the World Tree. An entity that could rule a world and even send so much power through a world barrier wasn't an opponent he could face right now. Even the weakest immortal could threaten his life, let alone an existence who stood at the pinnacle of immortals.

This was why Dyon acted the way he had. He didn't have the luxury of telling his wives what was happening. The fact he even told Madeleine was something he saw as a mistake even now. He was lucky that it hadn't impacted the end result, though he was unsure if his gamble had worked.

For the ancient battlefield's oceans to be capable of blocking Dyon's immortal sense, it was impossible to claim them to be normal.

There was most definitely a secret hidden below, but this wasn't the foremost reason Dyon came here for. What he wanted was to aim for the most opportune time to make his move.

He needed three things. He needed the optimal environment, he needed his wife to be in an optimal state, and he needed the World Tree to lower its guard.

These waters were the optimal environment for two reasons. First, within the Ancient Battlefield, the barrier to the outside world was already extremely thick. This made the already difficult connection between Ri and World Tree fainter.

However, the second reason was the more poignant point. These waters had the ability to shrink Dyon's sense range from covering universes to a mere ten thousand kilometers.

One had to remember that Dyon Immortal Sense wasn't normal by any stretch. When Dyon only had Divine Sense, he could see hundreds, even thousands of times further than those of his soul cultivation. How could this not also be the case for his Immortal Sense?
