A blinding sword light sought to slice Dyon's head from his neck, but just a single finger of his stopped it in its tracks. No, it was more accurate to say that his single finger sent it rebounding into the distance, causing a gorgeous white-haired woman with black eyes housing a slight red tint to almost lose control.

"Didn't I say it all those years ago?" Dyon spoke casually. "Even if I handed you strength on a silver platter, you'll never be my match."

Lilith looked toward Dyon with a murderous gaze.

Her prediction back then had been correct. If Dyon gave her access to the Devil Vein, she wouldn't even need ten years to climb from the lower celestial realm, all the way to the dao realm. However, there was one thing she had gotten horribly wrong. Even with her vast increase in strength, she wasn't even near a match for Dyon In fact, she wasn't even a match for his daughter, let alone him!

The worst part was that almost every day, his clone would come and shamelessly flirt with her, but she couldn't beat him either! It was infuriating beyond belief.

It wasn't just Lilith who grew in strength, but all of the devil path geniuses had. Lilith's two little brothers, Sokzac, even the adorable little RolRol. Though only Lilith had entered the Dao Formation Realm, the rest of them were Pseudo Dao experts at the worst.

Currently, they were all standing in the depths of Chaos Universe. Here, Dyon had built a haven for Devil Path practitioners in the deep seas of black and red. As for the ruler of this place, Dyon left that task to Jasmine, the Banshee Goddess and Palace Master of the Water Mist Sect.

Even now, Chaos Universe had lurking dangers Dyon didn't dare to underestimate. But, due to the universe suppression, they also didn't dare to casually provoke him either. So, they let matters be.

In truth, the devil path geniuses weren't that useful to Dyon anymore. The fruits of his effort were already bursting forth.

Researcher Lin's, or, rather, Chancellor Lin's education system had given benefits beyond his wildest dreams. The Innate Aurora geniuses were slowly coming into their strength and some of them had already become Comet Lords, filling the Mortal Alliance with an influx of soul talent. The Mortal Geniuses had finally broken out of their shells, allowing the subsequent generations to produce geniuses capable of fighting far beyond their cultivation barrier

The benefits seemed to continuously pile up, one after another.

In the grand scheme, it seemed the devil path geniuses simply weren't that useful anymore.

However, Dyon was more farsighted than that. These Devil Path geniuses may very well become his second foothold into the outer quadrants, the first of which was Luna herself and her vast territory.

Still, Dyon felt that Luna's matters were too far above his paygrade for now. The Devil Quadrants simply seemed to be an easier target Especially since Ri was the Elvin Queen!

Theoretically, Dyon already controlled a fifth of the Devil Quadrants simply due to this fact. In addition, according to his information, the Devil Quadrants only had a single Higher Existence as opposed to the Sprite Alliance which had four, if Luna was excluded.

Of course, Dyon also understood that Lilith's father was no normal Higher Existence. If he was, the Devil Quadrants would have long since been swallowed up under the guise of eradicating their 'dark' path.

Plus According to Jade, despite the fact the Transcendent Beast Alliance had three Higher Existences They were still ranked below the Devil Quadrants who sat in fourth place among the five outer powers!

This alone proved how powerful Lilith's father was. He wasn't a man to be trifled with.

However, this reality only made Dyon's next words all the more baffling.

"If you're finished playing around now, I'd like you to head back to the Devil Quadrants and tell your father I'd like to seek an audience."

Lilith, who was about to strike once more, suddenly froze.

"What did you say?"

Dyon didn't respond. Instead, he snapped his finger. In an instant, the soul contract he had signed with the devil path geniuses shattered. What bound them from speaking of the Devil Vein was eradicated in an instant.

"A man of his stature might believe it's beneath his status to meet with me, but I believe he won't hesitate after hearing of this Devil Vein."

Dyon turned to float away, but he suddenly stopped halfway.

"Oh You should also probably tell him that the Sacharro Clan isn't to be trifled with. That would probably save us a lot of future headaches."

Lilith's lips twitched.

If anything, that would bring more headaches!

**

In a floating room in the depths of space.

Against the wishes of his wives and advisors, Dyon sat alone, completely expressionless in the face of an individual who was without a doubt the strongest existence he had ever faced.

Dyon, who had once felt Jade's aura, knew well that she wasn't even a tenth as powerful as the Emperor of Nightmare Palace, Eldaernth.

It was quite the ironic atmosphere, though. On one side, there was a man dressed in black robes, his eyes partially closed with an almost lazy expression. Even when he spoke, his words were slow and deliberate, several second pauses between his phrases was a common sight. But, on the other side, there was Dyon who wasn't thinking about the gravity of the situation at all. Instead he could only think one thing

'Damn this guy is handsome. Is it even legal to have such good looks?'

Eldaernth always had a mysterious fog over his features that made him look more normal than he truly was. However, before Dyon's Immortal Sense, it was meaningless. He could very clearly see his true appearance.

Dyon never cared much for his own looks, but if he had to be brutally honest with himself, that was at least half in part due to the fact that he had never come across someone capable of matching him. Even those with higher cultivation than himself seemed lacking. But this Eldaernth He sure did give him a run for his money.
