Chapter 2060 Burn

Chapter 2060 Burn

Aside from the oddities of his soul after being burned, there were other mysteries as well. For example, instead of regressing back to the Foundation Stage as she should have, Ri actually progressed to the Overlord Realm.

If that was all, maybe Dyon would still be able to accept it easily. However, Ri actually entered the three facet Overlord Realm in a single bound. On top of that, since Dyon purposely cut off her soul from the refinement process, due to her dual cultivation with Dyon, she was not so far from the fourth facet either.

Of course, the main reason Dyon protected Ri's soul was to namely guard against a potential failure. In that case, he would at least be able to reform a body for her. In addition, by protecting Ri's soul, he was also able to preserve all the beast contracts she had... including her fairies.

The simple explanation for all of this was the power of the nine times reinforced pill. Dyon believed that this, along with the fact tribulations were many times stronger on the Ancient Battlefield, led to this.

Upping a pills refinement above the top grade didn't only increase its potency, but sometimes gave it new abilities. For example, when Dyon refined the Cultivation Cleansing Pill, it gained the ability to not only wash away cultivation, but also convert one's qi cultivation into bodily strength.

It was possible that after reaching this state of refinement, the Fate Breaking Pill was able to do away with its main drawback of losing one's cultivation and even became capable of improving one's cultivation as well.

Due to this, Ri's body and qi broke into the Overlord Realm simultaneously. In addition, since Dyon protected his wife's soul, the comprehension breakthrough she had that caused her to enter the state of enlightenment that catalyzed all of this to begin with was preserved and likely even strengthened.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

However, even though these explanations sounded plausible, Dyon couldn't say with any sort of guarantee that his reasoning was flawless. Reason being... his refinement method.

Dyon had gotten the idea to use the human body as a cauldron because of an issue he faced with Ri's particular problem.

If he refined the pill first, and then tried to feed it to Ri, the explosive medicinal properties would have likely killed her before the refinement was finished.

So this was where the real crux of the matter lay...

Just how much of a problem was burning his soul really? And more importantly... Did he dare to test it out?

Dyon's lips curled. He suddenly felt an overwhelming arrogance boil up from the depths of his heart.

There was nothing in this world or any other he didn't dare to do.

'Burn.'

Dyon's body was immediately engulfed by an illusory white flame. The sudden changed startled his wives awake.

"Dyon what are you doing?!"

Ri's mind went blank. They thought they were out of the woods, why was he suddenly doing something so ridiculous again?

Dyon waved a hand, indicating he was fine. Inwardly, though, he couldn't help but chuckle. Weren't these four just mad at him for hiding things from them? Now look at how they react when he puts it out in the open. Was there much a difference anyway?

'My soul is burning... But it isn't tearing apart like it should. Is it that my soul is sturdy enough to withstand the sheering force? Or is there another reason?'

"Don't worry, I'm just testing something." Dyon said slowly. "I have a feeling that my soul is different. I've spent almost 200 years trying to understand what's different between my soul and the soul of others... Why is it something that's a certain death for other people isn't like this to me? This is the first clue I've managed to grasp in all this time."
