Reaper of the Martial World

Book 9: Chapter 107: Star (3)

Dyon’s bloodied body was suddenly bathed in a rain of violet flames. The sight was beautiful beyond compare. Even his golden wings were suddenly blessed by these beautiful flames, causing it to radiate a stronger, purer light.

The laughter sudden stopped as the whole world seemed to focus on one man.

Madeleine’s breath hitched, not believing what she had just heard. She didn’t even think to wipe the tears of blood from her eyes, her whole being was focused the image before her.

Even the Ancestor had no idea what kind of mistake he just made. Under normal circumstances, cultivating at the last minute was a foolish endeavor. This was especially so if the target of your cultivation was the soul, the path that lent itself to the least battle prowess among the three paths. However… Dyon wasn’t normal.

Not only was Dyon’s soul talent far beyond that of anyone on the mortal plane, for every increase in his soul strength, the benefits were likewise far vaster.

The instant Dyon’s soul strength increased, his soul qi halo grew exponentially. Suddenly, matters that had confused him before couldn’t have been more clear.

All those years ago, he believed that the benefits of the Nine Cloud Yang Aphrodisiac Jade gave him were finished, but he couldn’t have been more wrong. The greatest effect of the nine-cloud phenomenon was in the changes to one’s Primordial Yang.

Before, Dyon couldn’t have understood this. He had only barely begun to see the benefits of Primordial Yins and Yangs after comprehending a portion of Ri’s. But now, an all-new world had opened up to him.

The Primordial Yang, an orb Dyon had found next to useless before, suddenly became a weapon beyond anything he could have ever imagined.

Dyon was lucky enough to be blessed with the greatest auspicious sign possible after eating the Nine Cloud Yang aphrodisiac. As a result, his Primordial Yang had undergone a rebirth under those nine looming clouds.

It was now Dyon understood. He didn’t need to ‘comprehend’ the Primordial Yin of his wives. As their husband, their comprehensions were his own. And his comprehensions were their own. This was precisely why the Primordial Yin of powerful women couldn’t leave their bodies unless they consented to it, and this was also why many men who gained the love of powerful women, despite being weak themselves, died after gaining a Primordial Yin they had no business controlling!

But if this was all, though it would be a great thing, it still wouldn’t help Dyon out of this situation. After all, though his wives were powerful, that was only within their generation. They had no ability to help Dyon in this situation.

However, it wasn’t just the Primordial Yin of his wives that Dyon had, right…?

Though his manifestation had chained and sealed the Primordial Yin and Jade and Luna, knowing Dyon had no ability to use them, the Primordial Yin of both Kukan and Amethyst were right before him!

Why was it that Luna and Jade’s Primordial Yin were sealed, but Kukan and Amethyst’s weren’t? Dyon had come to understand the truth behind this as well.

After being primed to be inherited, the Primordial Yin of Kukan and Amethyst had undergone a fundamental change. They were no longer as powerful as they once were when they were alive.

It was the duty of the inheritor to slowly undo the seals on them and deepen their understanding of the Legacies left behind. Essentially, their Primordial Yin were connected to their Faith Seeds. An obvious truth, or else Dyon would have never gotten them.

Madeleine had delved deep enough into Amethyst’s Faith Seed to unseal [Violet Revival Flame]. As such, Dyon gained the whole of Amethyst’s comprehension!

This was where the benefit of his Primordial Yang came in. Even though Madeleine could not exhibit that technique’s full strength, Dyon could precisely because his medium of communication was far sturdier than Madeleine’s.

And the result…?

Dyon’s handsome figure reappeared once more. His clothes and armor were in tatters, but he radiated the very same confidence he always had.

He ripped the destroyed Celestial Deer Sect’s heirloom from his body, replacing it with a comfortable pair of black sweats and revealing a toned torso of perfect proportions and symmetry.

“… That isn’t going to work anymore, you should stop trying…” Dyon said calmly, clearly sensing that the Ancestor had once more attempted to explode the qi within his body.

Unfortunately for this Ancestor, after comprehending Star Qi, everything within his Divine Sense’s range was his own domain. And how large was that domain…?

Over ten million kilometers.

Suddenly, Dyon’s humanoid manifestation began to change.

At first, it seemed that all everything would stop at a sixth and final pair of wings being formed, but this couldn’t have been further from the truth.

What was once six black and six white wings began to slowly change. The black was completely overpowered, radiating out and becoming a blemishless white.

In the next instant, pure white fur began to spring from its body. Shockingly enough, the changes began to occur on Dyon’s true form as well.

His golden hair became a blinding white, growing out to the small of his back. His torso, with the exception of a middle segment, became covered in white fur that matched. And, finally, his eyes changed color, morphing from a bright gold with flecks of emerald to become a pure, bright white.

However, this time, Dyon hadn’t activated his eternity pupils…

BOOM!

Dyon’s aura began to surge, his qi growing thicker and thicker by the second.

“What are you doing!” Oshire shouted in a panic. “Do you want to kill us all?!”

His words fell on deaf ears. But a moment later, the sound of a shattering barrier resounded, as a blessing larger than anything any one of them had ever witnessed descended from the skies, falling onto Dyon’s shimmering body.

Without waiting another moment, the skies below Dyon’s feet shattered as he flashed forward.

“Why are you so nervous?” Dyon sneered, his eyes blazing with fighting intent. “Celestial beasts don’t have to deal with tribulations.”   –> <img src=’https://st.moonquill.com/avatar/129? alt=”…” class=”avatar-img rounded-circle border border-4 border-body”> <h6 class=”header-pretitle”> Author’s Note </h6> <h1 class=”header-title”> Awespec </h1> <h3 class=”header-subtitle text-white”>This will be the last upload until Feb 1st</h3>
