Linlin and Biibi combined to slap the overgrown monkey in the back of his head, simultaneously agreeing to never show their mature bodies to him. Obviously, their beauty lost out to Shere in no way either. But, they didn't want to be ogled by this shameless ape.

"What did I do" Sen scratched the back of his large head, pouting like a child.

Seeing what amounted to a family reunion occurring right before them enraged the remaining Blue Flame Demon Tigers, especially since one of their own had actually died.

This might not have even been the worst part. Dyon had only attacked for little more than ten minutes, but half of their army of demonic beasts was wiped out. Wasn't this too exaggerated?!

Of course, the four beast babies killed far more than Dyon had, but that was over more than eight months! By their calculations, the demonic beasts should have lasted at least another two months. By then, their enemies would be too tired to do much of anything. But, as things stood now, they were too scared to even more, even under the threat of their leaders.

The truth of the matter was that [Carnage] wasn't just a physical attack, it was also a mental one that transported one into a hellish realm. Those who survived Dyon's onslaught didn't survive the wave of mental torture. Whenever they looked at Dyon, they could only see an obsidian skeleton, standing tens of meters tall and wearing a crown of flesh and blood. How could they attack such a thing?!

Dyon took out a large pill, crumbling it piece by piece and allowing Shere to swallow it.

What the remaining celestial beast had thought would take a long process was completed in just minutes before their eyes. The gaping wounds on Shere's frail body closed at visible speeds and her haggard breath steadied.

"Mm." Shere's eyes that had been fluttering closed widened with a new vigor.

Dyon raised an eyebrow. "Don't tell me celestial blood makes healing pills more effective?..."

"That's right. Not just healing pills, though. Pills of any kind gain a certain percentage boost when we intake them." Linlin answered. "But, it's definitely not always to this extent. Clearly, the pill was of high quality as well. I also think that since our blood has been refined to an extreme thanks to big brother, our abilities are more potent"

"How unfair" Dyon mumbled, causing Linlin and Biibi to giggle. It's no wonder people hunted celestial beasts down to the point of near extinction. "Well, it is a comet grade pill. I was expecting a few hours, but a few minutes is good too."

In the distance, the Blue Flame Demon Tigers panicked. This whole time, they had been expecting to just deal with Dyon. But, if he suddenly regained the help of beasts, they thought were long since done, it would be over for them!

But, it was too late. Of the thousand Heaven Soothing pills, Dyon gave each of his beast companions one, healing their injuries in a matter of moments.

It was like this that Dyon's first battle alongside his beast companions began Or rather, Dyon's beast companions spectated and clapped while he unleashed a massacre.

...

Dyon looked down at his right hand. Sometimes it would be a staff, other times it would be a spear, then a halberd. He really couldn't decide what weapon to use.

After his tribulation ended due to his mask, he had gained the seed of knowledge for all nine core weapons. Still, he had only used the quintessence of the rod until now. At the same time, he was still very weak in the quintessence of the bow and arrow, it seemed like the largest barrier to him. As for the knife and sword, he didn't know as he had yet to try them.

Finally, Dyon settled on a halberd, swinging the bland grey weapon with absolute ease. 'This is too light for me.'

Dyon found out not too long ago that the Dwarf's Diamond weapons his master made for him were actually completely hollow! To think that a weapon could weigh millions of jin with being just a few atoms thick.

Unfortunately, Dyon couldn't form Dwarf's Diamond like his master could, so he was unable to increase their weight. Her skill level was still far above his. This would have to do for now.

Breathing out slowly, Dyon settled himself down, facing the slowly approaching hoard of Blue Flame Demon Tigers. He had half a mind to tame them, but the reality was that he didn't know any such techniques. Plus, such taming methods would become null once the seals on their abilities were lifted in a few months.

Of course, Dyon thought of using The Seal, but he knew that it wasn't infallible. The only reason he could keep control of Elder Nova was that he was a weak dao formation expert to begin with. Dyon was certain that in his peak state, the Demon Tiger King was at least a peak dao formation expert. That wasn't something Dyon could control even with The Seal.

Although he had broken the red-armored guardian from the control of his Lord Creator, one had to understand that those seals had weakened steadily over trillions of years. They were nothing compared to what they once were at their peak.

So, instead of thinking of taking them as subordinates, Dyon thought of a better use for these tigers. If he killed them all and preserved their bodies, once his runic mastery reached a high enough level, they'd become very, very useful He'd turn his Demon Generals into true Demons.

The growl of the demon tigers filled the gorge, their bodies lighting with a hellish flame that was neither hot nor cold. Instead, it filled one with a sense of dread, fueled by a deathly aura. This sort of flame was very similar to Yandevere's erosion flame And, it also seemed to boost the physical abilities of these tigers.

Of course, Dyon understood their anatomy inside and out. After all, he had spent years studying them!

Dyon charged, disappearing from his location in the blink of an eye to appear amid the beasts. Before he could be shocked to find that the constraints of the world had significantly loosened around him, he was forced to fight the battle of his life. Yet, there was a grin on his face.

"Do you think big brother is a masochist?" Biibi muttered.

"Definitely a masochist" Her three siblings replied.
