Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God
chapter-1536

Of course, since the two puppets were linked, they could [Retrace] to areas the other had been in as well, this was where the [Switch] ability came from.

Just moments ago, the numbered warriors had been in a heated battle with the two sentinels, in fact, they were winning. But, the two sentinels suddenly pulled back, only for the King jellyfish to take action in that instant.

Dyon took advantage of this, sending a lethal arrow toward Twelve. Though this arrow was nothing to Twelve in his peak state, with his experience, he also knew that if he didn't use his enigmatic qi, it could wound him severely. Due to the fact he had experienced a method of expelling cold qi just moments ago, he chose to take the risk and erupt outward with his full strength, crushing the arrow.

But, who would have known that Dyon would use [Retrace] in that exact moment, sending an Immortal Puppet in the place of the sentinels?

Twelve stood not a single chance. After his reaction time was slowed to terrible levels, he didn't even register that his heart had been crushed even to the point of his death.

The other five wanted to stop the puppet, but they were still under the effects of the neurotoxin lightning, they could only watch as it retreated into the shadows, suddenly feeling that the temperature had dropped once more. Just like that, a comrade they had fought with for countless years had fallen… and any one of them could be next.

Soon, the lightning ran its course, leaving a silent circle of five numbered warriors and one lifeless corpse.

Who didn't know that the vitality of dao experts, especially dao beasts, were beyond imagining? Yet, Twelve died in a single blow?

In the distance, Dyon's eyes narrowed. He had taken one of them down, but he didn't feel any sense of happiness. His calculations hadn't accounted the numbered warriors learning the secret of cold qi so quickly. This was definitely not a good thing. If they put all of their strength into leaving the ocean waters, Dyon would likely lose his chance to kill them all.

Of course, that wasn't entirely bad. If they left the Dark Ocean, they obviously wouldn't be able to stop the Jafari Clan Treasure from completing its task.

However, what good was that to Dyon? It would be fine if they left entirely, but what if they didn't? Wouldn't that just mean that Dyon was trapped in here with them?

The worst part was that the King Seahorses were above their heads. Dyon was under no delusions that the water density would be enough to stop five higher dao experts if they really tried.

'This is bad.' Dyon said with a frown. 'There's also no guarantee [Retrace] will work again.'

What Dyon didn't say was that he knew the immortal puppets had a limit too. [Infinite Heart] could sustain 10 higher dao puppets for 5 minutes. The instant he used just now was negligible, especially considering he only used one puppet, but the time limit was a looming axe over Dyon's head.

Dyon could only send the sentinels in again as he waited for his next opportunity.

To his despair, the five numbered warriors created air currents under the ocean, using their own strikes to expel the cold qi from themselves.

Not only did they seem far more serious than before, but their reaction times grew faster and faster as the cold qi within them became less and less.

The blows the sentinels began to take became more devastating, so much so, in fact, that their [Regeneration] couldn't keep up any longer.

The situation grew bleak. Maybe the only good was that they didn't try to leave the ocean… maybe because they wanted to complete their mission, or maybe because they felt Dyon had a trap lying above and didn't dare to act rashly. Either way, Dyon suddenly felt like he had become the hunted.

Though they hadn't said a word after Twelve's death. He could feel it. He could feel their rage.

Dyon sighed. If he had that mysterious flame from the golden flame mystical world, this would be far easier. He didn't believe even a dao expert could survive them. Unfortunately, the only vessel capable of holding those flames that Dyon had was the soul tome, which happened to be many quadrants away from him right now.

'Ri, I think we need to move on to the second plan.'

'Already?!' Ri could see only the things Dyon had to show her. Since he didn't want her to worry, he his many things, especially the terrible situation the sentinels were in.

A hint of bitterness was hidden within Ri's tone. It was clear she understood this. If Dyon wanted to go to the second plan after he had successfully killed one of them with just the first, he was clearly hiding something.

Ri took a deep breath. 'You've already killed on of the heaven grade beasts among them, so the only one who remained is Thirteen. You'll have to target her. She's from a special race of cat beasts that take after your mortal world's jaguar's. Her clan has a great affinity for earth. Though the type of earth path she follows is related to trees and forest, her defenses are still far stronger than Twelve's…'

Ri began to list every piece of important information Dyon needed. Finally, she concluded with the seven categories she felt best described Thirteen.

That was exactly right… The second plan was to use the Beast Compendium to subdue one of the numbered warriors.

The unfortunate part was that the Beast Compendium had a glaring weakness: it had no seals capable of trapping Transcendent grade beasts.

This was a massive problem because heaven grade beasts reaching the dao realm was obviously extremely rare. Dyon had been mentally prepared for none of the enemies who came to be lower than the transcendent grade. But, he was lucky and quite unlucky at the same time. Lucky because of the six, two of them were heaven grade beasts, and unlucky because he had already killed one of them.
