Reaper of the Martial World

Book 7: Chapter 84: 53 (2)

The strength of Dyon’s body grew. By the end of the 22^nd year, he had finally crossed the one million jin barrier giving him the equivalent weight of a lower transcendent grade treasure! He also seemed to realize that his hardening ability progressed as he accepted larger percentages of hide body weight, they both scaled to one another.

While this didn’t mean that Dyon could suddenly gain a thousand times the defense if he forcefully entered his one billion jin state, it did mean that if one day Dyon gained absolute mastery over his one billion jin state, he would then gain a thousand times the defense he currently had.

In addition to this, Dyon’s instincts told him that once he crossed the one hundred million jin threshold, he would be able to enter the titan world once more. Unfortunately, at the moment, he didn’t have control over this, but he was confident he soon would.

The potential resources to be found within the titan world couldn’t be underestimated. Before, Dyon wasn’t certain if he could take this into and out of that world, but when Ri teased him about being covered in beast dung when he came out, that unknown question suddenly had an answer. If that beast dung covered his skin even after he returned, doesn’t that mean he had technically taken something out of that world?

Thinking about the ridiculous number of energy stones infused into the ground, Dyon couldn’t help but salivate and train harder. Maybe one day he’d be wealthy enough to no longer care about money once more.

Dyon battle prowess soared. By the end of the 29^th year, high saint embryonic beasts were finally within his sights. By the start of the 31^st, he had gained his first victory over them!

If this sort of the battle prowess was translated to the real world, it would as followed:

In his deepest third selfless state, before Dyon awakened his constitutions, he was able to fight a middle celestial of the low order third grade. In fact, he was able to fight two of them without falling to a disadvantage while both of these opponents were only a single realm from the high celestial level – 6^th stage Celestials.

However, outside of this third selfless state, Dyon’s opponents would have to be 4^th stage celestials for him to replicate this feat, and, of course, of the low order third grade or lower. Although this was only a difference of two stages, one has to remember how large the differences between realms were even in the saint realm, let alone the celestial realm.

After Dyon awakened his constitution, his abilities soared. He estimated that his absolute limit would be capable of fighting a lower order second-grade middle celestial. If he utilized his Titan Emperor’s Will, breaking his master’s rules, he would be able to fight toe to toe with a lower order second-grade expert of the 6^th stage celestial to victory. He would also be able to eek out a long fight against a 7^th stage celestial, before he would inevitably lose. Assuming he didn’t make use of tricks and his intelligence.

One had to remember that a 7^th stage celestial had just stepped into the ranks of a high celestial. To be able to fight a low order second grade high celestial as a lower celestial was heaven defying beyond belief!

To jump from the lower order third grade to the lower order second grade was an impossible jump for most to make! For context, even ten lower order third grade celestials couldn’t face a single lower order second grade expert of the same cultivation realm! This was the signification of grades and orders!

However, now, Dyon was on a completely different level. Even without using Titan Emperor’s Will, a lower order second grade middle celestial was no match for him! In fact, even a middle order second grade middle celestial could only tuck tail and run! Dyon wouldn’t run into a challenge until his middle order second grade middle celestial had stepped into the high celestial realm!

If Dyon used his Titan Emperor’s Will… Even such an expert would be no match. At this point, one would have no choice but to be a first-grade expert to stand toe to toe with Dyon unless you were a peak celestial.

While the third grade had two divisions and the second grade had three divisions, the first grade had nine! The lowest being a first order first grade expert and the highest being a ninth order first grade expert!

In Dyon currently state, first through fifth order experts of the middle celestial realm would have no choice but to take him seriously. One can imagine how large these divisions were if it took Dyon 31 years to climb these five orders! historical

However, Gods wouldn’t be any worse that the sixth grade… And True Gods? You would never find one below the eighth grade!

This was the martial world. With these 30+ years of cultivation, Dyon had finally made up for the time he lost, but he had only just begun his journey.

Still, Dyon wasn’t finished yet… These geniuses, hadn’t they all stepped into the celestial realm? Hadn’t they all mastered a pseudo-domain? Didn’t they all have faith backing their strength? Dyon had none of these things!

By the start of the 32^nd year, Dyon had crossed into the peak of the 9^th saint stage, only a single meridian away from the 10^th. He was coming.

[Author’s Note: I’m aware that this was a long explanation, but it’s necessary to pay attention to for the power scaling of coming chapters to be as easy to understand as possible. The hope is I’ll only have to say: “So and so is a sixth order high celestial,” for you to know, “Damn, Dyon should run.”

That said, I’d like to keep some mystery about Dyon’s abilities, so here’s another 20-year time skip. DKM <3]
