Chapter 1965 Surpassed
Though those of the Sprite Alliance were completely unaware, it was in that very instant that the trembling of the mortal plane ceased...
But even if they did know, they would have cared because the scene before them was too magnificent.
One's manifestation was inextricably tied to one's soul and one's soul was inextricably tied to one's Dao Heart.
Upon birthing an undefeatable spirit, those without manifestations would manifest one, while those with one would likely experience mutations. This was where the title of spirit came from.
With the fall of the elves, the manifestation was mostly an ignored path. How often had Dyon come across an expert who wielded a manifestation? Aside from himself and his wives, he couldn't think of many if any at all.
It was no wonder then that upon breaking into this realm, even those of the Outer Powers believed that they were birthing something new and failed to connect it to their already present Dao Hearts. As such, the moniker of undefeatable spirit came about.
Today, Dyon hadn't experienced a mutation. His manifestation was just the same as it had always been. Though he didn't know the reason, this didn't matter much to him. Because the result was beyond his wildest imaginations.
His manifestation now had a corporeal body. It could influence the world itself rather than only himself.
Just how strong was Dyon's soul? Currently, if translated into qi cultivation, Dyon's soul strength was at the Higher Dao Realm, essentially the lower extremities of the Star Grade.
[Author's Note: Do remember that soul strength splits into two paths after a certain level is reached. One keys in on senses (Immortal Sense), the other is essential the amount and level of soul qi that can be wielded – aka pure strength. This was explained earlier.]The source of this content can be connected to n0v3lb!n★
However, if one translated Dyon's strength based on his combat prowess... His soul already overshadowed Higher Existences!
'It seems my connections are better than yours too, old lizard.' Dyon said as his body was wracked with pain. 'Not only have I awakened something you never have, but I know people you don't. Isn't this too pitiful?'
Maybe if the Dragon King had any tangible form, he would be gritting his teeth now.
'Abraxus and his disciples are obviously a special anomaly. Only they and a handful of others have reached such heights after ascending from the mortal plane. I naturally cannot compare to them.'
'Are you not only number 3 behind the Dragon Emperor and Dragon God of the mortal plane's Dragon race? How are you in such a state?' Dyon stopped joking around and asked seriously. At this very least, since no one dared to approach him in his current state, this conversation took his mind off of the pain he was experiencing.
The Dragon King sighed. 'Beasts transcend by shattering Heaven's Chains, but this isn't all it's cracked up to be.
'On the mortal plane, it makes your cultivation speed incomparably quick. However, that is all. On the Immortal plane, anyone with an Immortal Body turns their nose up at such a thing.
'In addition, after shattering Heaven's Chains, one must then create their own path. Which means that the later one succeeds, the worse off you are. I may have been the Dragon King, but I didn't manage to throw off these fetters until I reached the Peak Dao Realm. Though this was already better than most Dragons who only manage to succeed after entering Half-Step Transcendence, it was still too late.
'The Dragon God succeeded in the Saint Realm. The Dragon Emperor succeeded in the Celestial Realm. They're obviously not individuals I can compare to.'
Dyon frowned, thinking of Chenglei and the beast babies. They had all succeeded only after entering the Dao Realm, especially Chenglei who had already been at the Peak Dao Realm. He had originally been very happy about this, but who knew there were such hidden troubles?
'It seems I have to have those five focus on their comprehensions... But this Vajra Body, even if you don't know it all, tell me what you do know.'
'The Vajra Body is one of the pinnacle abilities of the soul path. To those with small attainments, its most important toward amplifying one's comprehension.
