Chapter 2129 Years
?His Mind's Eye was where his soul qi was stored. Over time, it had evolved from a world of golden fog to one filled with a thick ocean of what looked like melted gold.
With the exception of when Dyon activated his halo, his soul didn't have bottlenecks like what his qi did with his meridians. However, this was because he directly expelled his qi from his Mind's Eye, to his surroundings, and only then manipulated it into the technique or array he wanted.
It was impossible to do this with normal qi because it wasn't as pure. In addition, qi techniques required very specific circulations within the body. If it was expelled first, it would be very crude. This was because, once again, normal qi was not as pure and as such could not communicate with the heavens as easily as soul qi could.
'Wait... my halo.'
Dyon's mind grinded to a halt as he finally found a solution. He kept thinking about increasing the volume of his meridians and blood vessels. But, why not focus on increasing its surface area simultaneously?
The square cube law only applied if the same shape was maintained while size increased. But, what if Dyon didn't bother maintaining the same generic tube shapes of his meridians and blood vessels?
When Dyon managed to reach this line of thought, he acted immediately, thanking his soul halo.
He had managed to reach this conclusion in a rather roundabout way. When Dyon formed his soul halo, was he not pouring soul qi into his brain? Why was it that his people's minds could withstand soul qi, but if other species attempted, they would be essentially committing suicide?
Dyon remembered how panicked he became when his little girl poured her soul qi into her mind for the first time. He had never been so scared in his life.
It was only after he calmed down and investigated that he understood. The folds in the brains of his mortal people were far beyond that of normal humans and even the Sapientia Clan. As a result, their ability to withstand on hold qi in their minds was at an unprecedented level!
Dyon didn't want to change much about his new skeleton structure and didn't particularly care that it was now black. It wouldn't shine through to the surface regardless. In addition, these bones were already perfected to the pinnacle of the mortal limits of Death God Body.
However, Dyon did want to make a small shift.
Combining his Eternity's Balance constitution's ability to equilibrate and his Silver Mirror Constitution's reflective abilities, Dyon extended his defensive abilities from just his qi.
Now, any strike that managed to land on his body was disperse through his whole skeleton. In addition, it would be reflected back by a certain percentage depending on its power. Like this, the Death God's skeleton's defense prowess raised by several folds.
Like this, a skeleton of black, standing at almost 6'10, manifested itself. The beautiful structure of meridians and blood vessels penetrated deeply within it, the rest of the mesh network hanging like a gorgeous work of art from its frame.
The colors of black, red and diamond looked particularly enticing.
With that, yet another 10 years passed.
Dyon then turned his attention to his flesh. Organs were always the most sensitive part of the body. They simply couldn't be freely turned into diamond or tough flesh as easily both because of their sensitivity and the fact they wouldn't function properly if their properties were changed too much.
The best body refinement techniques could account for both factors, changing the function of organs such that they wouldn't miss a step. This was something Dyon now had to consider for himself.
In the end, he decided on a few things.
Firstly, he increased the robustness of his digestive system. From their normal smooth muscles, he replaced them with strong, robust muscles.
[Author Notes: The short of it is that smooth muscles function with conscious action of a person. You can't tell your digestive system to digest with your mind, for example]
