Chapter 1970 Condense
Immortal Alchemists had nine complete stages. The first three realms were collectively known as the Alchemy Venerables. The next three were known as the Alchemy Empyreans. And finally, the loftiest goal of many who followed this path, there were the Alchemy G.o.ds.
Refinement techniques, known for their complexity, actually shared a level of difficulty with combat techniques an entire grade above them. This meant that Divine Grade Refinement Techniques were just as difficult to learn as Mystic Grade Refinement Techniques!
Of course, this was just an average and not an irrefutable rule, but it was widely accepted nonetheless.
[Heaven Soaring Nine Seals] was considered to be on the complete opposite side of the spectrum. It was the most difficult of the Lower Divine Grade Pill Refinement Techniques, dwarfing even many Mystic Grade Techniques!
There were many Three Star Alchemy Venerables who simply had no way of using this technique even if they could lay their hands on it. If they knew that a mortal boy of not even 200 years old was using it on the mortal plane, maybe many of them would directly give up alchemy for the remainder of their lives.
Dyon"s body erupted into a sea of black and white flames. Each palm seal he struck out with now came bathed in an incessant heat that scorched the earth.
Once one steps upon the immortal grade path, the aurora flame alone is no longer enough.
Of course, this doesn"t mean that the aurora flame is useless. If one looks down on an existence birthed from an Origin Grade Technique, the foolish one would be you. However, it was just that its role changed.
What made the aurora flame so mystical was that its role was perfect for flame control. Upon stepping into the immortal grade, the aurora flame would fuse into one"s main flame as a supplemental existence, allowing finer and more controlled precision in using one"s flames!
In terms of pill refinement flames, Dyon"s own would make even Alchemy G.o.ds burn with jealousy.
Dyon"s Chaos Flame had the Inextinguishable Heat Characteristic, making its ability to refine pills nigh untouchable. This didn"t even mention the applicability of its Solidification Characteristic in refining pills!
At the same time, Dyon"s Purity Flame had the Creation Characteristic and the Life Characteristic. On top of this, it had awakened the true Purification Characteristic.
On the Immortal Plane, finding a flame with just the abilities of one of Dyon"s flame would make an alchemist experience generations of joy. Yet, Dyon had two of these flames naturally awakened in his single body, and they still seemed to be awakening more the stronger his soul became!
Unknowingly, the whole Sprite Capital had fallen into a state of reverence.
The Heavenly Laws became thicker and thicker. Soon, the sound of a barrier shattering resounded through the city… Then another… Then another…!
Those simply standing in the vicinity were experience countless breakthroughs! How could they not be astonished without compare?!
"Ha!" Dyon roared, squeezing out more momentum as he pushed himself to his limits.
He had underestimated the strain this feat would bring him. At this point, he had already touched a state of do or die.
If he succeeded refining this pill, he would be healed. But if he failed… His death likely wasn"t far behind.
But who was Dyon? Even having forced himself into such a situation, he was smiling brightly. Had he even considered the thought of failure for even a moment?
Failure? He hadn"t even thought about it! The moment he started, he was absolutely certain of success!
Ever since he stepped on the path of array alchemy, he felt that it was simply a path created for him. When his qi and body talent had been poor, he was even more certain of this truth. However, too often this love of his had fallen by the wayside, completely forgotten by him. He treated it as nothing more than a tool, even sending off his clones to complete the refinements for him.
However, his current self would never again make such a mistake.
He felt an ambition, surging in his heart… he wanted to race to it… The top of the Alchemy world, the Three Star Alchemy G.o.d Realm… No, he wanted to surge past that limit and see what lay beyond it… To be able to create everything with nothing but the alchemy cauldron in his hand!
Four hours later… Large Success!
Twelve hours later… Great Success!
Two days later… Completion!
Dyon roared out, himself and his 8 shadows becoming impossible to distinguish from each.
Their palms slammed together, creating a final grand seal that split the skies open.
"Condense!"
Dyon"s Chaos Flames surged, wrapping around the cauldron along with his Purity Flames. Their solidification characters took action in an instant. The Condense stage was the very final step, it was meant to be the most difficult and the step most alchemists would fail on… But to Dyon, with this characteristic at his beck and call… It was the easiest!
At that moment, the split clouds above trembled, sending down a mighty strike of lightning!
Dyon"s eyes sharpened, but he didn"t make a move, allowing this bolt of tribulation lightning to land directly within the Battle Cauldron.
Those who had entered a selfless state simply due to Dyon"s alchemy prowess snapped out of it. Witnessing this scene, they were shocked. What just happened?
"… P-p-pill tribulation…"
Supreme Spiritual directly fainted from shock. He couldn"t spare the energy to maintain his consciousness any longer. Plus, he had had such vile thoughts about Dyon in the past two days that the seals placed on him had continuously torn his heart apart. This final bit of stimulation was finally too much for him to handle.
Reinforced pills were above the top-grade of 90-100% purity, nine times reinforced pills being the absolute limit. Dyon had already reached the pinnacle of this realm in mortal grade pills. The last time he refined a pill was for Pjisel who he gave a nine times reinforced Cultivation Cleansing Pill. But that was done incomparably casually and without even a pill cauldron.
