Chapter 1381 Leap
One had to know that even a higher existence might not survive the temperatures at the center of a star. A dao expert might be able to withstand surface temperatures within a few hundred miles, but that was their limit. It had to reiterated, once again, that the only reason Dyon and the various Fire Dao geniuses were so comfortable so close to the hottest star in the tower quadrants was precisely because so many dao experts were shielding them.
Afterward, the trial to enter this Golden Flame Mystical World mitigated the heat of the star with a barrier, only using a portion of it as a test.
With this technique, if one was nearby a star, they could use the cultivation of a higher dao expert to battle a peak dao expert! This may seem like only a single tier of difference, but the reality was that the gap between a higher dao expert and a peak dao expert was akin to more than five times the gap between a lower celestial and a peak celestial!
However, after this technique was created, the Golden Crow Clan remained unsatisfied. The requirement of having a star nearby was good, but they desired more flexibility. This led to the creation of the [Nine Suns of Armageddon] technique. Although using it was still weaker than having a true star, it could replicate at least 70% of the [Sun G.o.d]"s true power.
Of course, Dyon wasn"t interested in this technique just for this purpose. Firstly, he already had a technique that explosively increased his strength in t.i.tan Emperor"s Will. In fact, even for his subordinates, they had Demon Emperor"s Will. After unlocking t.i.tan Emperor"s Will, Dyon had given all of his Demon Generals the full copy of Demon Emperor"s Will.
Within one of these booklets was Orcus" diary. It was because of this diary that Dyon understood Orcus" thought process behind stowing away his skeleton army.
One thing Orcus always lamented was that fire had always been tied to the breath of life. The creation of fire was tied to the true awakening of all races, especially the human race. It represented hope and innovation. Due to this fact, Orcus" Death G.o.d Body always clashed violently with his Golden Crow bloodline and he found it difficult to balance them.
Of course, there were always flames like the Dark Phoenix"s Death Flame, but those were the exception, not the rule. For Orcus, who was born with innate golden flames, he didn"t have the luxury of having a Death Flame.
In the end, Orcus found it difficult to use [Sun G.o.d Body] at all. Infusing such flames with his death qi ridden body was too tall a mountain to climb.
After years of lamenting the fact he was unable to use his Clan"s most powerful technique, Orcus decided to finally do something about it. Over millions of years, he slowly modified the technique.
Using the condensing and concentration characteristics of [Sun G.o.d Body], Orcus began to apply the technique externally. Instead of infusing the power into his body, he split the technique down two new paths. The first was what he called [Sun G.o.d Halo] and the second was what he called [Sun G.o.d Domain].
[Sun G.o.d Halo] explosively increased the power of any technique by applying Star Power – a different concept from Star Qi. This was the case even for techniques completely incompatible with the fire dao. In fact, this didn"t even require Dyon"s ability to perfectly fuse wills either!
[Sun G.o.d Domain] was exactly what it sounded like. It infused the fire dao into your Domain regardless of whether it was compatible or not. By relying on the domineering nature of Star Power, one was able to explosively increase the dominion they had over their Domain.
When concepts of [Sun G.o.d Halo] and [Sun G.o.d Domain] were put together, especially with the [Nine Suns of Armageddon] technique, one was able to explosively increase their attacking power without putting any strain on their bodies at all! The only stamina drain would be that of the soul due to the control of the fire dao these techniques would require.
The best part was that if one was capable of perfect fusion like Dyon was, the power he could display would be even greater! Once Dyon mastered this technique, his use would be far more agile and versatile than even Orcus, its creator!
...
Dyon continued to the next technique, making a mental note to begin practicing these techniques once he grew strong enough.
After all of the pleasant surprises today, Dyon thought that Orcus had run out of things that could stun him. Yet, when he pulled out the next technique, Dyon"s jaw almost hung open. This time, it wasn"t a technique of the Golden Crow Clan, but a technique from the Fire Phoenix Clan!
Dyon often spoke to his wives about cultivation, so he was very much aware of what troubled them. Madeleine had always been worried about her comprehension of Life and Reincarnation. Now that the problem of Life was being solved currently, what she needed was comprehension of the latter. Unfortunately, that didn"t come easy.
Although Madeleine had Amethyst"s legacy, it had to be remembered that the union between Amethyst"s parents was never accepted by the Fire and Ice Phoenix Clans. In fact, it was due to their pursuit that her parents died horrible deaths after her birth. Knowing this, how could it be possible for Amethyst to have learned any of their core teachings? All her life, Amethyst had forged her own path.
Even after Amethyst got her revenge and destroyed all three Phoenix Clans, she was forced to transcend directly afterward, so she never laid a hand on their teachings. Yet, here was one of them in Dyon"s hands now.
The technique in Dyon"s hand had a purpose so shocking that his hands trembled. The technique was t.i.tled [Reincarnation of Heaven"s Staircase]. To make a long story short, this technique could be used three times in an individual"s life. For each time it was used, one would be guaranteed a breakthrough without tribulation!
If all three of one"s chances was saved until the day they reached the peak dao realm, those three attempts could be traded in to reach the Higher Existence realm in one leap!
