Chapter 1244 Distance
Madeleine sent a side glance toward Falkor. "Yes, I would mind. Please return to your elders."
In that moment, Madeleine's calm and inviting demeanor changed. She became wholly unapproachable, wrapped in a divine light that mortals had no business touching, even a True God was no exception.
True God Falkor laughed. "There's no need to reject me so quickly. I'm not understanding, if I had a wife like you, I would never allow her to wait. Isn't this True God Sacharro a bit too pitiful as a husband?
"If I recall correctly, about 4-5 years ago, there was this mysterious masked man who belittled that pitiful fool Anak over you. He even earned the title of wife stealer because of it." Falkor chuckled to himself. "Yet, True God Sacharro was nowhere to be seen. Does such a man deserve you? Does such a man even deserve the title of True God?"
Falkor obviously didn't fear Dyon or his title. For one, he was a True God himself. Secondly, his Hydra Clan controlled the 6th ranked quadrant. Whether it be backing or status, he was lacking in neither. For that reason, he had no need to fear Dyon.
In addition, it's common knowledge that there's no true power disparity between the 4th to 9th ranked quadrants, so he had no need to fear the Flaming Lily Sect either. In fact, his Clan was far more powerful than the Flaming Lily Sect. This was because his Hydra Clan was the sole ruler of their quadrant, controlling over 60 universes alone, while the Flaming Lily Sect was only the 2nd ranked Sect of their own quadrant.
Madeleine couldn't help but look toward Falkor as though he was a complete idiot. Others might not know, but how could she not know that this 'masked wife stealer' was in fact her Dyon? In addition, angering her didn't only mean angering the Flaming Lily Sect, it also involved angering Dyon's Clan. This True God sure was short-sighted.
"Get away from my big sister, or taste my hammer." Sabona swung her massive red-gold hammer lightly. Yet, that simple swing caused a tsunami of wind and energy to blow toward Falkor with the weight of several hundred thousand jin.
True God Falkor snorted lightly. The wave of energy touched his body but seemed to ripple through as though he was made entirely of liquid. He seemed completely unaffected.
"Hush little girl, the adults are talking."
"You think I'm scared of you?" Sabona's teeth bared. There was nothing she hated more than others pointing out her size. In fact, she went out of her way to dress like a woman so people wouldn't. Yet, bastards like Falkor still mentioned it.
Falkor's eyes flashed as an oppressive aura swam toward Sabona, causing her to pale.
"We may both be pseudo-celestials, but you'd do well to remember that there's still a large gap between you and I! Talk again and I'll kill you!"
Yandevere was currently pretending as though this had nothing to do with her despite having the power to swat Falkor away. True God or not, the difference between a Pseudo-Celestial and a Peak Celestial was too large for anyone to bridge. Especially since Yandevere was a genius of the first grade, albeit only the fifth order, just shy of the bar for a God.
However, her inaction was the best choice. Had she acted, it would have given the rest of the Hydra Clan an excuse to.
Madeleine's eyes flashed, a spark of rage lighting her usually serene features. A chilly aura wafted from her, turning an atmosphere that had been pervaded by heat into one so cold that many could suddenly see their breaths before them!
The eyes of those around contracted into pinholes. This flame character… It was the piercing cold character! A legendary character only the Ice Phoenixes had touched upon before!
True God Falkor's expression became serious. One had to know that although Madeleine wasn't given the title of True God, this was only because the key wielder of their quadrant was Christian III. However, Madeleine had broken through to the perfect 9th order! Just this truth alone placed her on par with the True Gods, earning a special title reserved for those powerful enough to become True Gods, but were born into inappropriate circumstances: The False True God!
Falkor had also reached the perfect 9th order, however while he had yet to break through to the celestial realm, Madeleine was already a 2nd stage celestial. His chances of winning against her were near 0! The only reason he even had a slight chance to begin with was because Madeleine disliked battle and as such, had little experience. However, even with that being the case, she had an overwhelming 95% likelihood of victory.
"I hope that the Hydra Clan doesn't believe that my Flaming Lily Sect is easy to bully. If you insist on staying, I'll take it as an act of aggression and thoroughly 'entertain' you. However, if you leave now, I'll pretend as though this never happened."
True God Falkor's features steeled, staring at Madeleine in a new light. Truth be told, Madeleine's beauty was astounding, but with Falkor's status, he could even toy with the dao formation women of his clan, having taken a few of them as concubines already. Of course, these were weak, false dao formation experts, but they were dao formation experts, nonetheless. Simply put, he wasn't so blind to start an enmity with a powerful clan just to be a lecher.
The reason he bothered to provoke Madeleine to begin with was because of Dyon. Many of the True Gods and Gods detested his behavior. Hiding from the world, sending out his Demon Generals to do his bidding, was he looking down on them?
However, it seemed that Madeleine wasn't an easy woman to handle…
It was at that point that a murmur passed through the crowd as they all looked toward the distance.
In the distance, a massive creature was becoming more and more focused. Eventually, with the keen senses of those present, the scene became clear.
The beast was absolutely beautiful. Its large head looked out from a pristinely finished black jade shell, patterned with intricate lines of gold and silver. As for its legs and head itself, they were smooth beyond compare, shining an unblemished white that almost gave off its own light.
The creature's eyes were a large black, blinking with endless wisdom and intelligence, not to mention a hint of cuteness. It became obvious to everyone in an instant that this was a peak transcendent grade beast! But, the most shocking part was that this peak transcendent grade beast was allowing a young man to ride upon its head!
Seeing them, everyone couldn't help but send a glance toward the Hydra Clan. They too were transcendent grade beasts, but they couldn't even be considered peak grade like this heavenly tortoise coming toward them. They could only be considered Kings of the high grade…
If this creature could be used as a mount… Didn't that mean that they were no more than mounts in his eyes too?!
However, what shocked these spectators to no end was that this young man didn't have just one peak transcendent grade companion… He had four!
A majestic deer, standing as the picture of innocence lay its head on his left lap. Beautiful swirls of gold coated its white fur, shining with a holy light.
On the right, a white tiger with strips of deep black lay. However, if one looked closely, it was possible to see that this black color was attempting to slowly fade away to a shimmering silver and gold light.
And finally, to his back, a massive ape stood tall, its twin tails whipping about with excitement.
Yet, despite this scene, many couldn't take their eyes off of the young man. In truth, despite the number of handsome young geniuses in attendance today, they all paled in comparison by far. If it wasn't for the fact they could sense his sainthood cultivation, one might think that this man was a transcendent come down from the skies.
He was dressed simply. A crisp white shirt and what looked like soft pants, rolled to the center of his calves. He hadn't even bothered to wear shoes… This young man was the picture of an eccentric cultivator despite being far too young to be so!
Madeleine couldn't help but smile brightly when she saw this young man. Her once blistering cold aura dissipated into a warm summer's breeze as her lips curled to bring light to the world. When those around her saw this, they didn't need to think twice about just who this young man was… There was no doubt. This was the legendary True God Sacharro!
