Reaper of the Martial World

Book 8: Chapter 178: Bronzed (1)

Dyon appeared in a familiar world. His body and the air around him felt heavy, and the dense, thick forest almost looked to be tinged in red as usual. But, he had long since gotten used to it. This was none other than his constitution’s world, one filled to the brim with primordial energy.

During the past few years, Dyon had learned many things about his constitution’s world. Maybe the most important was that it wasn’t an entirely bad thing that he was unable to bring in his whole body. By only being able to bring in a portion of his strength, it was akin to him splitting his body in two and gaining another free of charge clone. While one part of his body was meditating in Calming Lake, the other half could begin to explore this world in earnest.

Over time, he had slowly come to understand some of the pros and cons of his world.

For one, it was only possible to bring anything in or out if he fully entered. This was a major hurdle to cross considering Dyon could only withstand 201 000 000 jin currently, but his full capacity was 1 000 000 000 jin. Trying to withstand that weight would only result in Dyon pitifully laying in a pile of dung once more.

Of course, Dyon could forcibly withstand this weight by tapping into his [Titan Emperor’s Will] technique which multiplied his strength by 20 times, however, therein lied the second limitation of this world: nothing seemed to function the same.

When Dyon was first teleported into this world, he realized that his treasures of the 33 heavens didn’t function as they once did. Namely, it took far more energy to complete even the simplest task. Dyon noticed this especially when he tried to filter the bull-bird’s dung of its energy by using the Energy Core which was with Granny Celest currently.

After some thought, Dyon understood why. This constitution world was completely cut off from the normal reality Dyon was used to. As such, his treasures lost the support of the Heavens, and thus it took far more to sustain their normal functions, namely more from Dyon.

One had to remember that Treasures of the 33 Heavens were pseudo legendary treasures, meaning they could in part rely on the Heavens to exude their power. Unfortunately, this was cut off here, making them harder to use.

This concept extended toward techniques, wills, and even Dyon’s soul. Everything Dyon knew and understood functioned on the arbitrary rules set by the Heavens, but he was cut off from those safety nets here. While he had perfectly comprehended his [Titan Emperor’s Will] in his reality, in this one, he could hardly sense it at all.

However, within this con lied a pro. This space was excellent for training. Whatever Dyon could do here, would be multiple times more powerful in reality through practice.

When Dyon learned this, he felt a firm resolve. Before, he thought it was impossible to energy cultivate here because of the rules that hindered him bringing anything in or out. But, this was false. He could cultivate here. The reason he thought he couldn’t was because of numerous factors.

Firstly because he was limited by the percentage of his body he could sustain here. Since he could bring in 20% of himself, he only had access to 20% of his body, his soul, his energy, and most important: his talent.

But, the second point was the most important factor: it was simply difficult in general to cultivate here. historical

Back during Dyon’s second trial, when he met Amphorae for the first time, she was already well into her 60’s. However, she was still in the saint realm. It wasn’t until after dual cultivating with Dyon that she formally entered the celestial realm.

Was that version of Amphorae untalented? Of course not. She had incredibly pure angel blood. The issue was that cultivating in Primordial Energy dense places greatly slowed cultivation due to how volatile the qi was. However, at the same time, it made every stage of cultivation far more powerful than Dyon’s knowledge dictated.

This space wasn’t only on par with Amphorae’s environment, it was far worse. Amphorae was born in the Primordial Era, but Dyon’s constitution’s world took the even earlier Chaos Era as its template, making cultivation easily ten times more difficult than what Amphorae experienced.

It was no wonder Dyon thought he couldn’t energy cultivate here. The bar was set so high that he simply made a false assumption.

Still, it was better late than never that he learned this truth. It meant he could rely on his constitution’s world to build a firm foundation. However, with that said, this space wasn’t created for Dyon to firm up his qi cultivation, it was created for him to bring his body to ungodly realms. All of the resources found here, namely the beasts, were pinnacle level body cultivation and body refinement treasures.

Even with all of this said, this wasn’t the most shocking part about the constitution’s world. That right was reserved for the potential Dyon saw in its people and its beasts.

Dyon entered the den of the bull-bird. Unlike how it had been before where he was greeted by animosity, he heard a happy whimpering that sounded a lot like a puppy greeting its owner. And, also unexpectedly for anyone who had seen them before, four beautiful bronzed creatures the a head taller than a normal horse rushed Dyon with their long tongues.

How had such once ugly creatures become so beautiful?
