Chapter 1376 That Was Right



However, this furnace was different to the point were Dyon's eyes lit up, his heart leapt with a hint of excitement and a smile crept onto his face.

In truth, this wasn't just an alchemy furnace. It could be used as such, but it was also an excellent weapon's master work bench.

Dyon's masked wife stealer persona always carried this so-called workbench on his back. It was well known that weapon's smiths treated their workbenches better than even their wives. The kind of intimacy one had with a workbench was even deeper than a sworn brother.

Still, this was just one ability. In fact, it was an ability Orcus neglected since his weapons' smithing was just as poor as his array forming abilities. This meant that there were other reasons Orcus was infatuated with this treasure.

Firstly, it could accomplish much of what those lesser alchemy furnaces could to a far higher degree. When using this furnace, one would be allowed to replace mature plants with their immature versions even if said plant was a main ingredient.

For example, when Dyon concocted his Pulse Pills, he had been limited by their Pulses. However, with this alchemy furnace, concocting a Pulse Pill with a 6 Golden Pulse Fruit would be like concocting a Pulse Pill with a 7 Golden Pulse Fruit with a normal furnace!

Although it could only do this for comet and moon grade ingredients, this was more than enough! If it ever birthed its item spirit, it would be able to do this for planet grade ingredients as well!

Aside from this ability, the furnace had a time array that could drastically cut down the time needed to concoct a pill. In addition, it also had accumulated incomprehensible amounts of medicinal essence, allowing it to birth 90% pure pills even in the hands of the weakest alchemist – assuming this pill was at the comet level or below. And, it could give even a Star Lord 50% more stamina than usual!

However, none of things were what made Dyon's heart pump. Instead, what boiled his blood was the fact there was a star grade formation hidden deep within the furnace, so deep that even Orcus only discovered it after thousands of years of using this furnace.

This array had the ability to record the abilities of its owner! As long as you provided the furnace with enough dao stones, it could perfectly replicate this recording and concoct pills to its owner's peak level!

That was right, Dyon didn't want this cauldron for all of its hidden abilities, but rather for simply this one. Dyon had too many things on his hands to deal with at once and he refused to use the resources to create a clone simply to have it concoct pills 24/7.

Originally, his plan was to train up the geniuses with Lower Blossom stage innate souls and have them become the backbone, but in reality, even that was only a small stopgap. After all, there were only 10 000 of them, and they had suffered such horrible trauma as well. Dyon felt bad relying on them for such a thing.

However, this cauldron changed everything. If Dyon left it in Soul Rend Quadrant, it would be similar to if he never left at all. All he would have to do is leave instructions for the cauldron on what pills to create, how many to create, and at what frequency, and the show would run itself!

Dyon almost felt it was a pity to use the cauldron like this. After all, its abilities in combat were even fiercer than its use in alchemy and weapon's smithing, but Dyon had to keep his priorities in line. His own combat prowess was only as useful as the combat prowess of those beneath him. Even if he came an undefeatable Higher Existence, it would mean nothing if he had to face trillions of enemies alone. He had his limits and he knew them well.

"I'm sorry little guy." Dyon stroked the cauldron. He could sense its disappointment, but he had no choice. "One day, I'll bring you out to the battlefield so you can vent some frustration. I promise."

The only shame about all of this was that the cauldron lost its copies of Orcus' abilities after he died. It seemed its copying ability was reliant on a soul link with its owner, something that was now gone. But, Dyon wasn't too disappointed about this. Although Orcus could concoct star grade pills, Dyon would have to find the ingredients before he could do so in the first place. So, in the short term, he wouldn't even be able to make full use of Orcus' recordings.

Also, for lower grade pills, Dyon was confident that even a Star Lord wouldn't far outstrip him in concocting comet grade pills. As for moon grade pills, although they would be clearly better, it wouldn't be by much.

The next treasure was actually hung from Orcus' body, and that was his supreme grade robe. In reality, this robe wasn't so simple at all.

Back within the invisible sky castle, Dyon had found many comet and moon lord robes. But he had found them all to be useless… However, this was a bonafide Star Lord Robe! Not only that, but it was the Robe of the highest 6th Tier Star Lord!

Although Dyon didn't care for Orcus' alchemic legacy considering he had the [Dao of Array Alchemy], what he did care about were the other uses of such a robe.

It had to be said that getting your hands of a Star Lord Robe without first being one yourself was near impossible. This was because its creation required star qi and it was often set to self-destruct upon its owner's death. However, Orcus had obviously disabled this function. If he hadn't, when he formed this Legacy World, his robe would have burnt to ashes. This benefitted Dyon greatly, allowing him to reap it as a reward.

'Now putting on a show should be far easier.' Dyon thought with a grin.

The first thought Dyon had was immediately about using this cloak as a façade. The geniuses were already so shocked by his being a Moon Lord, how would they react when they found out that it really was "true" that he had a Star Lord backing him?

The second use of this cloak was protection. Orcus had been too arrogant in his battle with Dyon, not feeling the need to activate this cloak's defensive abilities. If he hadn't been, it would have been impossible for Dyon and Madeleine to win so easily. In fact, it might have been impossible to win at all.

Although the Star Lord Cloak refused to acknowledge Dyon as its master, thus leaving him unable to understand the extent of its abilities, Dyon still had the hamster twins.

Aside from a passive ability of blocking 10% of an opponent's strength, as things stood now, the Cloak had enough Star Qi to block the full powered strike of a middle dao expert three times. This ability could be replenished by feeding the robes star grade soul stones.

Its second ability was replenishing of soul stamina. It could nourish the soul and provide as much as double one's usual soul strength.

Its third ability was speed. This didn't denote movement speed, but rather speed in forming formations. Dyon's already quick pace could be increased by 20 more percent.

The cloak's last ability was escape. This could only be used once without replenishment. It could teleport its wearer across a universe regardless of spatial restrictions. However, replenishing this ability took an unsightly amount of star grade soul stones. Luckily, it was already loaded and even if it wasn't, Orcus had left behind mountains of such soul stones.

The best part about this escape ability was that comrades could be taken as well as long as the user thought it. Maybe the only drawback was that the ability to ten seconds to activate, which meant one needed to survive whatever danger they faced for that period of time first.

Finally, Dyon put down the cloak and headed toward the next treasure. When Dyon held the faint red-hold medallion in his palm, he didn't immediately believe that it was some groundbreaking treasure. But, when it immediately bound itself to him and he saw its abilities, a massive grin spread across his face.
