Chapter 1504 Lost
Dyon beamed. He had had millions of Bronze Dragon Souls and thousands of Silver Dragon Souls just sitting around for years now.
Originally, he had wanted to give them to his Demon Generals. If they could all fuse Dragon Souls to their pseudo domains, what kind of grand scene would that be? However, Dyon changed his mind…
The [Dragon Refining Arts] required humans to delve into a deep level of comprehension. This was why King Viserion was stuck at such a low stage for such a long time.
However, there was another path available in the [Dragon Refining Arts] as well. If one"s body was tyrannical enough, comprehension was wholly unnecessary. Obviously, the body of humans could never match the body of beasts, especially not beasts like the blue whales who could swat celestials to death without an ounce of cultivation.
To Dyon [Dragon Refining Arts] was completely useless now. It would only needlessly interfere with his already tyrannical t.i.tan blood. However, to the blue whales, it would be akin to giving them a path to Heaven!
Dyon and Ri directly spent the next few weeks plundering Earth"s oceans. It wasn"t long until they found just what it was the blue whales had been fighting, but unfortunately for those mighty creatures, they shared the same pitiful weakness.
There were five major races. The rest were too weak or didn"t have special abilities Dyon could be bothered to invest in.
The first were the Blue Whales.
Then there were the Seahorses that Dyon directly tied to the legendary Hippocampus, half horse, half fish. Unfortunately, these Seahorses were common grade beasts while the Hippocampus was of the supreme grade. Still, though they weren"t as large as the blue whales, they were still several kilometers tall.
The next creatures were Sea Serpents. They were ma.s.sive underwater pythons with beautiful, reflective scales ranging from green to blue. Some were even purple.
Then there were the Jellyfish. They shimmered with gorgeous rainbow colors, but their conductive abilities definitely gave Dyon and Ri the most trouble.
Finally, the last was a species Dyon almost mistook for completely harmless. As a result, he nearly drove him and Ri to their deaths. They resembled Coral Reefs and Dyon found them in the deep recesses of Earth"s Oceans, a place that had heat far surpa.s.sing what Dyon had ever experienced before. In the mortal world of the past, they were known as Fire Corals.
From what Dyon knew, although the Fire Corals known to his mortal world could cause burns and scars, as long as they weren"t excessive, it wouldn"t be deadly. In fact, human contact could actually result in the death of Fire Corals themselves.
However, these evolved Fire Corals were nothing like their ancestors… Not only could they move of their own according… Dyon lost his right hand and forearm underestimating them.
Dyon frowned in deep pain as Ri sliced off infected flesh on what remained of his right arm. Even now, Dyon couldn"t believe what happened to him.
Hours earlier, he and Ri had entered the depths of the ocean, travelling several million miles. In fact, if it wasn"t for Ri"s water will, they likely would have both been crushed under the weight.
It was as the temperature steadily rose that they ran into the Fire Corals.
Dyon obviously hadn"t thought much of it. They looked identical to coral reefs and had a beautiful and vibrant red-gold color. Other than being a bit curious about how such a plant could live in such heat, he didn"t have any other thoughts.
So far below the surface, the heat was easily hundreds of times greater than what Dyon experienced during the trial to enter the golden flame mystical world. The worst part was that that pressure from the water above was so strong that the water that deep couldn"t enter the gaseous state it wanted to. This made the water and the currents especially violent.
As a result of those factors, Dyon was focused on keeping himself and Ri safe in the environment, so he didn"t spare much thought toward the beautiful Fire Corals.
Who would have known that they would be even more deadly than the blue whales?
One had to remember that Dyon and Ri were under immense pressure that deep. So, Dyon was circulating his defenses to the absolute max. Yet, a single lashing whip was enough to cut his arm off from the elbow.
As if this wasn"t bad enough, the qi the Fire Corals commanded was incredibly corrosive. It was still eating Dyon"s flesh to this moment. In the end, he was forced to ask Ri to slice off the infected flesh, resulting in the situation they had here.
This wasn"t an injury Dyon could brush off either. Sure, regrowing a limb was within the abilities of his array alchemy… If his body was normal, that is. Dyon had too many const.i.tutions, he might as well have been tasked with the goal of regrowing the limb of a peak dao expert.
In addition, with the distribution of meridians in the body, Dyon had effectively lost 9 meridians.
There were 108 meridians in the body… 36 were in the torso and head, while there were 18 in each limb. For Dyon, he had 45 in his torso and head, but the 18 in his limbs still remained true. Dyon had essentially fallen 9 entire orders in one attack.
Sure, this still left him on par with the other True G.o.ds, but if this was the extent of Dyon combat ability now, he was pretty much screwed. Without being of the 18th Order, how could he jump cultivation levels to challenge high and peak celestials?
"Dammit." Dyon grit his teeth.
If he had Madeleine"s reincarnation will, such a matter wouldn"t even phase him. He could just grow another limb even stronger than the one he had before. But, unfortunately, he didn"t. And, unlike Life Will which could be used on others, reincarnation will had no such ability.
