Leaping into a meditation state Dyon's soul connected with Ri's and began to pulse. Ri's soul progressed incredibly quickly while dual cultivating with Dyon, so she was already only a step away from grasping moon qi. Though this fell well short of Dyon, it was unprecedented for those her age.
At that moment, a surge of soul qi erupted around the couple.
Dyon's mind communicated with the teleportation array. Luckily, his comprehension of planet grade array alchemy had shot upward in recent months.
Almost like a radar signal, Dyon sent his soul qi through the teleportation array, aiming it toward all areas surrounding Star Quadrant.
Sweat began to mat Dyon's forehead. This method was more stamina draining than he expected, but he grit his teeth and pushed through. Both Amphorae's and Zaire's souls should appear like bright beacons of light to him.
As Dyon expected, an uproar swept over the martial world. Numerous individuals in seclusion, many of whom were also headed toward Star Quadrant trembled, trepidation covering their faces.
Because Dyon's soul had spread so thin, even if his soul was more powerful than many of theirs, he had no way of hiding his presence.
What these people were afraid of wasn't the strength of Dyon's soul, but rather how widespread it was. They were all intelligent people. They realized that Dyon was stretching himself thin. But… Just who could withstand spreading their soul qi so far?!
Among these individuals, Diasho Ken's Uncle's heart seized the most fiercely. He thought that Evangeline had chosen to pursue him this far. By the time Dyon's soul left him, his robes were drenched in sweat. He could tell that his father and brother were startled awake as well. Was this sort of thing even possible? Even for a Higher Existence, wasn't it too exaggerated?
At this moment, Little Lyla and Zaire sat atop a massive, snaking golden dragon. They sat protectively beside Amphorae who had fallen into a deep sleep once again. They had already traveled for more than 5 years together, so they were very much used to Amphorae's long sleeps. Somehow, even as she slept, she always seemed to become more powerful. In just these 5 years, she improved from the lower 4th dao realm, to the peak 4th dao realm.
There was only a difference of 6 meridians between the two states, but filling 6 meridians with enigmatic qi in just 5 years…. To say it was monstrous was an understatement.
It was in that instant that a wave of soul qi swept over the three of them. At first, Lyla and Zaire trembled, but then they immediately felt a sense of familiarity.
"Big Brother?!" They both called out at once.
But, the only response they received was a flash of light and a necklace that seemingly appeared out of nowhere.
Though Zaire and Lyla were stunned by what just happened, they were also intelligent. They recognized the presence of Dyon's soul, so they knew that this necklace was something he went through a great deal of trouble to get to them.
They grasped the necklace before it fell through the void of space.
At this moment, they were in what the martial world called The Void. This was the name for an odd space between reality and fiction that acted as the barrier between universes. In fact, what separated quadrant divisions from universe divisions was the thickness of The Void. Universes in a cluster had thinner Voids between each other while quadrants had thicker, much larger Voids.
It was The Void that made travel between universes so difficult. Even after 5 years, Zaire, Lyla, and Amphorae were only just about to enter Star Clan territory, and that was after they used the Kong Clan as a proxy because they happened to be the universe closest to Star Clan territory.
Zaire blinked as he looked at the silver chain in his hand.
"Do you know how to use this?"
Lyla shook her head. "Maybe it's something for Big Sister Amphorae?"
Zaire frowned. "Big brother wouldn't do this if it wasn't important, but is it safe to wake up Big Sis like this?"
Though they had been with Amphorae for half a decade, they didn't really understand this odd constitution of hers. In fact, they didn't know if it was a constitution either. Maybe it was a sickness. Though, the fact it helped her grow stronger made them think it was more likely that it was the former that was true.
"Big Sister Amphorae said that she'd wake up again once we entered Star Clan territory. We're only three days away. Maybe it would be safer if we waited for her to wake up naturally."
In truth, this wasn't just about Amphorae's safety. It seemed that no matter what they did, she would never wake up until she felt it was her time to wake up. It was incredibly odd.
There was one time the trajectory of the golden dragon beneath them – the passive ability of Amphorae's Dragon Lyre – would have entered a dangerous black hole. As though she had a danger detection of sort, Amphorae sleepwalked them out of danger before falling back to a peaceful slumber.
Dyon would be lying if he said he wasn't apprehensive during these three days. Despite the calmness of his gaze, there was a deep seeded worry he couldn't shake off.
After sending the necklace away, he had completely collapsed for over a day and a half. But, when he woke up, Ri told him that she still hadn't gotten any word back from Amphorae.
Seeing that there was nothing else he could do, Dyon instead focused on the task at hand. He had to make sure that nothing happened to Jafari Clan treasure until it finished, and he also had to make sure that whoever dared to enter Dark Ocean would die!
This sort of task was bordering on impossible. Dyon was certain that dao experts would be on the way and killing such individuals was no simple task. However, Dyon had a few things to rely on.
The first and most important part was that his battlefield was the ocean. Here, the beasts he procured from Earth's oceans would be of great benefit. Since he hid the Jafari Clan treasure underwater, his enemies had no choice but to come to him.
