Book 10: Chapter 27: Changes (3)
Maybe the biggest change to the Mortal Alliance, though, was the fact it had officially become a Comet Grade Empire!
After awaking his Immortal Sense, Dyon no longer needed Researcher Ton to find universe spirits. He easily conquered the universe spirits of the Dark Ocean, all while making Soul Universe his 100th conquered territory and making Chaos Universe his 200th conquered universe.
As for where Dyon gained 200 universes when before he only had 131, the answer to that question could be found with his vassal states. Not only had he succeeded in roping in the Kong Clan the heir of which was the sworn brother of Ryu’s father, he had also succeeded in taking in the Grand Templar Sect, the very Sect he rampaged in after losing his mind to his Chaos Flames.
In truth, Dyon almost lost his life many times in battling the Soul and Chaos Universe spirits.
The Soul Universe was once the home of the Celestial Deer Sect before they moved to Dyon’s home universe. In the end, it retained some of that strength of Faith and was incredibly difficult to defeat.
Originally, Dyon had been confident in easily taking it on. After all, it was a soul path universe, and his strongest path was his soul. But he could have never imagined it would be difficult to that extent. It could only be said that the former Celestial Deer Sect had an overwhelming amount of Faith. It was no wonder why despite only controlling two quadrants in the past, even the outer powers feared it.
Dyon didn’t know exactly what this secret was, but he believed that the answer lied in the hidden Legacy of his Celestial Deer Sect.
[Author’s Note: Remember that when he found his master in the Valley of Geniuses, she gave him the star coordinates of the Celestial Deer Sect’s legacy. But, back then he had been far too weak to go and get it. Currently, that legacy is still within the 99 universes and *hint, hint, wink, wink* likely has the secret to why Dyon’s master made him master all of those techniques.]
Luckily, in the end, Dyon prevailed and made the Soul Spirit his 100th universe spirit. As a result, the children of his Mortal Alliance were all born with 20% more soul talent than they otherwise would be!
This reality was shocking to Dyon. After all, the Pakal Universe only gave him small percentage points. And, from his understanding, even when evolving to the comet grade, the difference shouldn’t be been so drastic. He had been expecting 10% at most, yet it was actually 20!
It was then that the Soul Spirit informed him that its true potential should have been closer to 200%, similar to Planet Grade increases, however it had weakened far too much.
Despite this reality, Dyon wasn’t disappointed. In fact, he was pleasantly surprised. Thanks to the Soul Spirit’s influence, the Pakal Universe which should have increased from 3% to 5% after he entered the Comet Grade, actually now gave the newborns of the Mortal Alliance 7% stronger bodies than they would otherwise have.
Finally, Dyon faced the Chaos Universe. He could have never expected that that battle would have been even more difficult. In fact, the first time Dyon challenged it, he had no choice but to retreat.
The Chaos Spirit had become a corrupted and malignant spirit. Before, Dyon hadn’t wanted to conquer it at all, for fear of what it would do to his Alliance. However, the Soul Spirit encouraged him to do so, claiming that it would have no problem suppressing it.
According to the Universe Spirit, the Celestial Deer Sect had wanted to subdue the Chaos Spirit long ago because of the benefits it would bring. Unfortunately, they didn’t have Dyon’s Immortal Sense and couldn’t find it to begin with. In the end, they were destroyed before they got the chance.
Dyon knew that he was too weak to take hold of the spirit after his first attempt, so he had no choice but to train his body further. Thankfully, he had two great resources to accomplish this: his constitution’s world and chaos universe itself.
Dyon, who was no longer afraid of chaos universe’s corruption, began to [Devour] beast after beast. Last time he came here, he was only able to battle essence and saint embryonic infernal beasts, but now he could challenge even celestial and dao infernal beasts.
Thanks to [Devour], his efficiency in assimilating their strength increased as well. In the end, he was able to add 40 billion jin to his weight and reach the midway point of the Golden Silk Realm.
Even this was only barely enough to defeat the Chaos Spirit, and that was after Dyon used [Titan Emperor’s Will]. But, when Dyon sensed the changes, he felt that it was all worth it.
After conquering 200 universes and reaching the Second Comet Grade, the newborns of the Mortal Alliance gained 16% stronger bodies, 40% stronger souls, and from the Chaos Spirit… beasts gained 50% more bloodline talent and fertility!
Dyon suddenly understood why the Celestial Deer Sect would want after Chaos Universe so much. The Celestial Beasts had both bloodline and fertility problems. To gain a 50% boost couldn’t be looked down upon!
After this change, not only did the former Five Beast Clan Alliance begin to steadily grow in power, but the Kitsune who had migrated into Dyon’s territory began to slowly regain their might.
