183 Devour 1 (1/2)

Dyon stared at the manifestation in the sky, his heart palpitating.

He could feel the demon sage blood within his raging at the thought of an inferior bloodline displaying such dominance… But Dyon knew fully well he hadn't absorbed nearly enough of it for it to have any effect other than subtly boosting his body's strength.

However, his Celestial Deer essence and Demon qilin essence roared to life, covering him in black scales coated with crystals. Dyon's body began to sound off thunderous booms, disdaining the Black Jade Dragon's suppression.

Dyon took deep breaths… he had used a lot of stamina in his last move. Not only had he fused space and time wills, he also coated his weapon's hell arrays with sword spirits melded with even more wills! And yet, Chenglei's defenses had reached an ungodly level… he didn't even have a scratch on him…

Suddenly Dyon's mind flashed with an idea, 'that could work…'

Leaping backwards, Dyon continued to steady his breathing, gripping his sword in his hand as his Weapon's Hall disappeared.

The dragon coiled around Chenglei, hiding him within its long body…

Dyon's eyes narrowed, 'he's preparing something…'

BOOM!

Dyon looked over to see Jade and RI's battle reaching its climax. Ri had settled into her Kitsune form, her dark hair flapping in the wind wildly as she slashed her sword out again and again… melding it with endless pieces of water, ice and wind wills.

Jade, however, didn't seem to lose out in anyway. Her moon manifestation seemed to see all things, and yet, it also reflected all things. Purple-Black energies rotated around her, deflecting Ri's blows… however, she couldn't find an opening to attack either.

”it's not so good to take your eyes off of your opponent in such a situation,” Chenglei said faintly.

Dyon's eyes snapped back, widening in shock.

Chenglei's body had increased yet another size, even to the point of towering over 3 meters. His hands now had clear claws on them and even his teeth had sharpened. And what was maybe the most shocking: his spear had changed to one of the transcendent level…

Chenglei suddenly tossed his spear into the air, leaping to stand on the head of his manifestation.

The crowd gapped in shock… 'His manifestation has a corporeal body?!'

Dyon winced, '6th stage soul… that's the only way…'

Although Dyon could boost his soul to the 6th stage, it had a massive effect on him. And Dyon could clearly see that Chenglei could only tap into this soul power because he entered the 3rd stage of his Black Jade Body. The only good news was that Chenglei was using a soul boosting technique whereas Dyon's boost was a part of him, which meant Chenglei was on an even shorter leash than him.

However, Dyon also knew holding anything back would do him no good right now.

”Grandfather! I'm going to use it!”

Elder Daiyu nodded faintly, still standing in the air quietly with his hands clasped behind his back.

”shit…” Dyon muttered under his breath, 'I guess it's time.'

BOOM!

Majestic wings burst from Dyon's back as his Angel manifestation appeared.

Chenglei's eyes narrowed… he could tell that if it wasn't for his soul stage currently being higher, Dyon's manifestations without a doubt surpassed his, 'who is this kid?! Twin manifestations?!'

Dyon didn't care for Chenglei's surprise, instead flapping his wings and launching himself into the air.

'I can't use this too soon… I'll only have one shot… my stamina isn't doing too good right now…'

Dyon stared intently at Chenglei and his floating spear, 'just what is he going to do?'

Suddenly, the temperature started rising drastically.

'You've got to be fucking kidding me…' thought Dyon.
