Reaper of the Martial World

Book 10: Chapter 125: Action (1)

Dyon’s frown deepened. He suddenly found it hard to control his body.

He felt that this was incredibly similar to a feeling of having an incomparably solid foundation… one so solid that after a certain point in time, one’s breakthrough could no longer be halted.

The issue was that such a breakthrough was completely beyond his expectations. He had faintly heard Luna’s explanation. In fact, many had heard it. Her words about him being the reincarnation of her past husband would actually serve to quell much of hidden waves he had caused in their Sprite Alliance territory this time around. But, what was more poignant was her revelation about the Dao Liberation Realm.

Dyon had always found himself to be supremely confident even facing opponents many times more powerful than himself. He just had no idea that this was him tapping into the Dao Liberation Realm all along.

But, how could matters be so simple? Even if others entered the Dao Liberation Realm as well, there were limits to this realm’s abilities, right?

It was obvious at first glance that this couldn’t possible be the highest Dao Heart State. If it was, the Immortal Plane would be nothing more than a joke. How could the greatest state of minds be reached by mere mortals on an inferior plane?

This alone proved that the undefeatable spirit, or the Dao Liberation Realm, wasn’t infallible.

Yet, Dyon had been able to remain dauntless before Celestials with not an ounce of qi cultivation… He had been able to battle a Dao Expert as a mere Meridian Formation Realm expert and even survived to tell the tale.

Sure, Elder Daiyu had been severely weakened, but in the end, hadn’t he ignored his injuries to break through that bottleneck once again anyway?

The so-called Battle Gods of the Sprite Alliance could most definitely not replicate these feats. Their undefeatable spirits were already severely repressed when facing mere Higher Dao Experts, let alone Fallen and Higher Existences.

What did this all mean? It meant that even Luna had underestimated Dyon.

Dao Seed Realm. Dao Awakening Realm. Dao Liberation Realm. Dao Purification Realm. Dao Tranquility Realm. Dao Monolith Realm. Selfless Dao Realm. Dao Vanity Realm. And finally… The Dao Simplicity Realm.

Each Realm above was harder to ascend than maybe even the Heavens themselves, and each had names those of the Mortal Plane weren’t even worthy of knowing.

Yet… What Dyon entered easily with nothing but a Dao Seed wasn’t the Dao Liberation Realm, but the Dao Tranquility Realm!

How this occurred? Maybe only Junior was aware. And, this wouldn’t be the limitations of Junior’s knowledge either.

Junior would be aware that though Dyon could grasp the mind state of the Realm, he couldn’t touch about its blessings entirely.

In the end, one’s Dao Heart was meant to be the foundation for one’s comprehension. If Dyon could truly enter the Dao Tranquility Realm in its truest state, let alone struggling with comprehending Daos, He would have already mastered several Laws by now!

Dyon’s soul trembled.

In that moment, the skies suddenly darkened. Without Dyon’s acceptance, his manifestation suddenly appeared, looming over the Sprite Capital with an incomparably arrogant visage.

Its body was draped in robes wreathed with black and white flames. Its wings hovered directly to its back, on one side holding six beautiful white feathered ones, and to the other, six glistening black feathered ones.

Six halos of black-gold revolved, holding images of profound paths beyond one’s comprehension. However, if one looked closely… They were actually becoming more solid!

Slowly, its illusory form became more corporeal. What had once been a mere projection of an image was actually turning into flesh and blood!

If those on the Immortal Plane could see this scene, they would shiver in astonishment. This sort of event was a level far beyond a mere manifestation. It was the birth of a Vajra Body! However, such a monstrosity would only appear when one was stepping into the very peak of the Dao Monolith Realm, a mere half-step from the Selfless Dao Realm!

An existence that should only appear on the Immortal Plane was actually forcefully breaking through its restrictions here. How could the mortal plane not tremble from end to end?

This sort of matter made things clear. The Dao Heart was inextricably linked to one’s soul. There was no coincidence that Dyon’s Dao Heart grew in the chest of his Nascent Soul.

One’s soul provided the connection to Heaven one needed to comprehend Heavenly Daos… So it was naturally the key to breaking away from the Heavens to form one’s own path!

Ever since Dyon awakened his Dao Heart, it had lied in slumber for decades. In truth, he wasn’t even aware of his own Dao Heart’s name, let alone its uses. It just seemed to sit there, doing nothing. In the end, after Dyon failed to gain any results by probing with his Immortal Sense, he let it be.

But, he could have never realized that it would explode forth with such frightening momentum on this day.  

In those moments, the rotation of his six black-gold halos gained substance. The sound of grinding gears filled the ears of those watching on in disbelief.

Finally, a satisfying chik-a sound resonated as the very black halo Dyon had never before touched upon rotated to the very top.

A single eye peered downward, looking toward the world with unbridled disdain.
