Chapter 764 Unbeknownst
As anyone could see, the importance of bloodlines were not only great, they were heavily tied to what a family represented.
Dyon could already see that Ri and Madeleine were following the right paths. Ri was especially fond of her dark ice techniques which took advantage of her Snow family bloodline and her Acacia family bloodline. As for Madeleine, she started with her Queen Peac.o.c.k techniques which were modified from a yang version of the technique. Although this wasn"t anywhere near the most powerful technique Amethyst had, it was the one that aligned with her const.i.tution the best.
All of this said, when the Spirit Body was thrown into the mix, all of this was interrupted. The weapon itself could be considered to be banned and wouldn"t be a surprise if anyone wielding was immediately wanted dead.
The real problem was that this wasn"t even the limit of the Spirit Body. Not only could it gift bloodlines and const.i.tutions, after stealing them, to its owner, it could even store them to give to subordinates! It was truly a demonic weapon…
Unfortunately for Dyon, he needed that weapon to make full use of his Origin const.i.tution. He didn"t plan on awakening all of the const.i.tutions within him, because that would be a waste of time, but awakening a few of the most helpful ones would aid him greatly.
For example, if he had Femi"s G.o.d level body const.i.tution from the World Tournament, Tyranny"s Rage, his battle power would increase as he fought, tapping into his potential with each punch. With the body kernel within him, the potential of his Tyranny"s Rage would far surpa.s.s the norm, likely being the equivalent of a lower tier True Deity bloodline.
Even more shockingly, Tyranny"s Rage wasn"t even ranked that highly among male G.o.d const.i.tutions. The fact the body kernel could boost it in such a way was already shocking, just what kind of effect would it have on the top ten? There were even const.i.tutions a step above Tyranny"s Rage that could not only increase battle power, but also steal battle power from opponents on contact, thus lowering the strain of the const.i.tution.
The possibilities were too many. What about const.i.tutions that specialized in the rare magic that Loki practiced? Or ones related to the eyes? What about const.i.tutions that guaranteed great talent among your children? All of these were thoughts swimming in Dyon"s head.
The only problem was quite a glaring one… Without the Spirit Body, all of this was impossible.
Just like other pills, Const.i.tution Awakening pills lowered in effectiveness with every dose taken. Normally, this wasn"t a problem. After all, usually, martial warriors were born with only a single const.i.tution to worry about.
Even those who were lucky enough to be born with two, or three – those absolute geniuses from old and ancient universes – usually had only a single one that was worth awakening. For example, they might have only a single G.o.d const.i.tution, while the other might pale in comparison – being a Heaven or even Earth const.i.tution not worth awakening.
In the extremely rare cases where a true genius was born with multiple high tier const.i.tutions, usually they could awaken at most two of them. After the second time, the pills would lose effectiveness, only being capable of awakening less than 50% of the third. And for the fourth, less than 20%.
Even then, it was rare to be able to awaken two fully. It would require a moon level const.i.tution awakening pill.
These were the pills that the Celestial Deer Sect had. Unfortunately, Dyon had already used them all.
This said, there was one other way to awaken a const.i.tution, and that was by using the method Delia used. Unfortunately, this was again, a very rare occurrence and required finding the very essence of the const.i.tution. Such a thing usually required centuries. The only reason Delia succeeded was because her mother"s life was on the line, and she spent centuries with her const.i.tution within her mother"s womb with her birth being suppressed. As such, her resonance with her const.i.tution far surpa.s.sed those of her age.
Obviously, Dyon didn"t have centuries to spend resonating with hundreds to thousands of const.i.tutions.
The only other way Dyon could think of to take advantage of const.i.tutions, although it was the weaker methods, was to dual cultivate. Through dual cultivation, Lionel was able to gain Evelyn"s Eternal Balance const.i.tution in order to perfectly fuse his red and blue flames. His version of the const.i.tution was much weaker than Evelyn"s, and he had many limitations that would have taken decades if not centuries to surpa.s.s, but it was still effective nonetheless.
Using this logic, Dyon could possibly use this method to increase the resonance he had with his const.i.tutions and shorten the time needed to awaken them naturally. After all, he had Clara"s Origin primordial yin, he could pick whichever he wanted to use. Unfortunately, they would only be from the female const.i.tutions which was a very different list. And if he didn"t want to become too feminine, he"d have to be really selective about which he chose. But, some female versions had male counter parts which could increase his resonance.
Suddenly, Dyon"s thoughts were interrupted by Amphorae who had seemingly been awake and staring at him for a while.
"You look… Different." She whispered.
Amphorae no longer felt like her husband was the same man… In fact, he could be said to be someone else entirely.
Dyon smiled. He had realized that his real body had come into this world for some odd reason, but again, he attributed it to rewards from the trial. After all, if his real body wasn"t taken in, how could they reward him with a boost in cultivation that would have taken him years to accomplish?
From Dyon"s prior knowledge, those taking trials usually spent decades in them, if not longer. Only the best of the best would taken a short time. And even those geniuses would spend a long time within the G.o.d level trial. If the trial didn"t help cultivation, wouldn"t those geniuses stall out for all this time? No one would want to give up so many years of potential.
"Bigger?" Dyon grinned, not taking Amphorae"s question too seriously.
Amphorae blushed, remembering how Dyon really had gotten bigger inside of her during the night. She hadn"t thought much of it then, mostly because it made her mind go blank, but maybe it was because his body was changing.
"More handsome?" Dyon"s grin widened.
This only made Amphorae"s blush deepen. Somehow this husband of hers was right again.
The previous king couldn"t be said to be an ugly man, in fact, he was above average. However, in terms of martial warriors, his looks were average.
But, this current version of him made it hard for Amphorae to look him in the eye. The combination of his demeanor and his features that seemed to be perfectly sculpted out of the most precious of stones was too much for her handle, even with her queenly aura.
Amphorae hid her face in Dyon"s chest, unable to withstand his teasing. It seemed the easily embarra.s.sed Amphorae was back, causing Dyon to smile lovingly.
Dyon absentmindedly stroked her hair, almost falling back into his thoughts.
"I"ve never seen wings like yours before," She said softly. "I"ve also never seen a mutation that adds pairs of wings. Your Angel blood is quite overwhelming."
A light breath escaped her delicate lips. She meant every word she said. Even their ancient books didn"t speak of such a thing.
One pair of Angel wings was oppressive enough. Not only could they rival the fastest of species, from wind Dragons, to lightning transcendent beasts, to even light elemental bloodlines, Angel wings also had a myriad of other mysterious effects.
For example, an Angel could break Heaven"s rules to a limited extent. They had profound spatial abilities which were a huge part of the reason for their oppressive speed. They were constantly bathed with Heaven"s Light which boosted healing abilities by hundreds of times. Maybe one of its scariest abilities was known as a soul flame, which allowed its wielder to spark flames using the power of their soul to directly damage the soul of an opponent.
The price was that Angels faced heavy penalties during breakthroughs, making their tribulations many times more powerful than normal.
Considering the fact that these abilities were only the tip of the ice berg, maybe such a penalty was worth it.
"You also seemed to have both Angel and h.e.l.l"s Angel abilities within you… I"ve never seen anyone have both…"
That"s right. Those abilities listed were merely Angel abilities. h.e.l.l"s Angel abilities could be considered to be even scarier, although they lacked in healing properties.
They provided a major boost to fire based attacks. They had the ability to call down Heaven"s Judgement, smiting opponents. They also had profound abilities directly opposing to the will of highest purity: Holy Light. h.e.l.l"s Angels had access to the will of highest darkness: Chaos, which was many steps above destruction will. Even Void will only had faint traces of chaos within it.
None of this even touched the most heaven defying ability of Angels and h.e.l.l"s Angels alike. Innately born with powerful souls, they could split their souls at no cost to themselves, breaking Heaven"s laws, and focus on multiple things at once. Imagine training in multiple techniques at once without losing efficiency or talent! The Florence family technique tried to replicate this, but it resulted in a vastly inferior version.
Unfortunately, Dyon knew none of this. Or, more accurately, he had never tried because he didn"t know there was any connection between him and Angels at all. He couldn"t be blamed. After all, he was born a mortal. Not only was his knowledge of the martial world still limited compared to others, how could he think he was born with something so amazing?
Listening to Amphorae, Dyon decided to do his best to learn as much about Angels as he could while he was here. Although he had never sensed these abilities before, maybe that was because his talent was too low before. Maybe he"d have a chance if he focused. If he failed, that only meant his soul had mimicked something it had no right to be.
Dyon gently picked up Amphorae, holding her tightly as he climbed the steps to her bed. It was almost dawn and the skies were starting to hold a faint dark blue, it was time he went to Queen Luna.
Laying Amphorae down, he kissed her forehead. "I believe in you. Let me know if anyone bullies you today, I"ll teach them a good lesson."
Amphorae smiled, kissing Dyon before letting him go. They both had very important things to do today, so now wasn"t the time to cling to him.
**
"Of course I"ll go with you." Queen Luna"s smile made Dyon heart quake as she stepped closer, tracing her small hand against his strong chin as her long silver hair and violet eyes sparkled.
Although Luna didn"t show it, her own heart was trembling as well. The pressure and Presence of this husband of hers far exceeded something she could be nonchalant about. When did he get so handsome? She couldn"t help but think to herself.
If Queen Luna was bothered by Dyon being away all night, she didn"t show it. Instead, she left the room to dress and prepare, leaving Dyon behind to do the same.
Dyon glanced at a mirror Luna left by the bed stand. His brow furrowed, he had never seen this mirror before, but even without his soul, he could see that this was at the very least a Spiritual level treasure. How could she possibly get her hands on such a thing?
He looked away, pretending he hadn"t seen anything.
But, unbeknownst to her for now, Luna"s sh.e.l.l had finally shown a crack, albeit a small one. The result was her making an unexpected mistake she had never made before.
