"Good." She said with a bright smile. "[Heavenly Nine Clouds] is a Peak Heaven Grade energy manipulation technique of our Celestial Deer Sect. Originally, every step was meant to represent an ascent into a new Heaven, allowing one's next strike to grow in power…
"It peak ability when mastered to perfection should have been able to double one's strength for every three steps, yet you've actually improved it to double one's strength for every single step!"
There was another thing that shocked Esmeralda beyond belief. In order to accomplish this, Dyon had changed this technique from [Heavenly Nine Clouds] to a technique that was more aptly named [Hellish Nine Clouds].
He actually incorporated the comprehension of a martial intent into the technique! She couldn't fathom where Dyon could have comprehended such a technique from…
The most shocking part was that it didn't seem to be just one martial intent, but rather two layered atop of each other. One was Presence, but the other was that murderous red aura…
Granny Celest watched on as well, her heart filled with shock. Was this really the same boy who came to them all those years ago?
Dyon shifted in the skies.
[Ascending The Skies].
A single pair of wings bloomed from his back. A single flap caused them to disappear from their view.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'He broke through space and the void without relying on will comprehension!' The sparkle in Esmeralda's eyes grew fiercer.
The strongest cap on one's speed was matter. The reason why even celestials could fly from one end of a universe to another in a reasonable amount of time was precisely because space was mostly made up of empty space. Without having that impediment, cultivators could fly at speeds beyond imagining.
However, breaking through space and breaking through the void were two completely different concepts. There was a reason why void will was a Supreme Law, while space will wasn't quite there.
The simplest explanation was that space could be empty, but the void was everywhere, even within empty space. To be able to break the void… it was the marker of a Higher Existence!
Dyon obviously wasn't that powerful, yet the fact he had comprehended such an ability was beyond Esmeralda's imagining!
[Striking Bell].
When Dyon reappeared, his fist suddenly struck outward.
It felt as though all the sound in the world was suddenly sucked away. Usually, in such an atmosphere, one could at least hear the sound of their beating heart, but even that seemed silent.
There was only one thought on everyone's mind… If they received this strike… They would die!
Dyon suddenly disappeared once more, appearing before his own strike before it could land and cleaving downward with a murderous kick.
[Bloody Guillotine].
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The result was violent beyond their wildest imaginations.
[Striking Bell] was a fist technique that descended the world into silence. One might think it was deadly and quiet, but this was far from the truth. The reality was that this technique was the loudest in all of existence. The reason why silence descended when it was executed was because when Dyon mastered it to the One with Self realm, he gained the ability to hide its deadly nature in the void!
This suddenly made the loudest technique in existence one that became the absolute extreme opposite.
The technique was meant to rely on the resonance of sound waves to ravage its target's insides… One could imagine how much more devastating it was if one wasn't even aware that there was a sound to begin with!
[Bloody Guillotine] was actually an Earth Grade technique unlike the previous Heaven Grade ones. However, its foundation fused so perfectly with the War God's martial intent that it instantly became Dyon's strongest leg technique.
It wasn't as sneaky or refined as [Striking Bell], but its result was no less violent and deadly!
Dyon's aura suddenly climbed once more, his body instantly becoming clad in a glorious royal blue diamond armor as his Weapon's Master array appeared in the skies.
Having entered the intent realm, it was no incorporeal. It was no less powerful than Dyon's true dao realm comprehensions!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe following display were even more shocking than the former…
Dyon didn't stop until he had displayed all over 3000 techniques he mastered to the One with Self realm. By the end of it all, many could only feel numb, while some, like Little Alauna and Esmeralda were prideful beyond belief.
"Freak…" Zaire muttered to himself.
Dyon descended from the skies with a bright smile.
"See Master, I didn't lie to you."
"Good… Good!" Esmeralda said without hiding her excitement. "This is better than I could have ever imagined. Like this… If it's like this than you can really do it!"
Dyon blinked in slight confusion. But before he could ask, Granny Celest came to his side.
"Little Dyon, your actions have truly baffled me." Granny Celest sighed, producing a very familiar orb of rotating lights.
"Granny…" Dyon started.
"Don't try to change my mind." Granny Celest said, shaking her head. "I'm no longer the most qualified to hold this Energy Core. Before, I thought I could help you greatly by using it diligently, but even after more than 20 years with it by my side, I am still a mere 10th stage Dao Formation expert."
Dyon frowned. "But there's no need to compare. You'll be entering the 11th stage soon, I can sense it."
Granny Celest still shook her head. "Right now, it's better if this is in your hands. The Mortal Alliance will go as far as you take it. Though I've made great progress in these 20 years and will break through in just a few days, this speed isn't enough.
"In the end, despite having this treasure, I can make the maximal use of it because my body can't handle it anymore. I fear that if I push too hard, I will only cripple myself."
Dyon felt that Granny Celest was being too hard on herself.
