Chapter 1629 - Mask (2) (1/2)
Ri's heart couldn't help but seize slightly seeing Dyon's actions. But, luckily, the barrier of divine sense Dyon had up didn't allow Jasmine to notice.
It was at that moment that something absolutely stunning happened.
As the mask's stealth abilities slowly faded away, a form of Dyon Ri had never seen before appeared.
His short, brownish red-gold hair grew outward, becoming replaced by a delicate ocean blue that reached down to the small of his back. His features grew sharper and more angled, his already well outlined jawline seemingly cutting the air it existed in. This same change occurred to his nose as well. Before, Dyon's nose could have been described as well proportioned with soft, round edges. But now, it too became sharp – the bridge of it becoming a steep mountain slope.
Dyon's eyes had changed as well. From their new golden-emerald color, they became a beautiful flickering blue. They were akin to two glass globes that held the might of the sky. In the end, his skin paled from its flawless almost rose-bronze color, to a soft, matchless jade.
Still, even with all of this, there was not a single doubt that his most pronounced feature were his new, sharp ears. They were far longer than Ri's who could only be considered a half elf. Dyon now looked no different than a true blood Royal Elf.
In this sort of state, handsome seemed like far too inadequate a descriptor. Ri, who had yet to see Dyon's changed form after he passed his celestial tribulation, felt her heart skip a beat. She could tell that this wasn't Dyon's actual appearance, but she also faintly understood that Dyon was no less appealing in his true form.
Even the Banshee-like Jasmine couldn't help but pause in surprise. It should be impossible for one to have such a flawless appearance until they had at least become a dao expert. And even then, it was incredibly rare.
Although improving your cultivation realm did improve your appearance, it was only insofar as your natural ability allowed to begin with. Obviously, not everyone would be as beautiful as Jasmine or Amphorae after they entered the dao realm.
This might seem like a meaningless topic, but it made Jasmine pause in her assessment of Dyon. Could it be that she was wrong in thinking he wasn't a dao expert? Even with his mask gone, she couldn't sense his cultivation due to the barrier of divine sense he had put up. This sort of doubt greatly benefited Dyon.
That aside, Ri was surprised as well. But, her thoughts were far different from Jasmine's. She was used to Dyon stunning her after he made a breakthrough. There was a reason why he had spent so long as a mere essence gatherer, yet never seemed to fall behind his wives in appearance. What she was more shocked about was just how he entered this form.
Ri was absolutely certain that this wasn't a disguise! It was Dyon's ”true” form… Or, rather… It was one of his true forms?
What Ri didn't know was that Dyon could only so perfectly replicate the appearance of an Elvin Royal precisely because Ri was his wife. That was right… This appearance was thanks, in large part, to Ri's Primordial Yin! After breaking into the Celestial Realm, Dyon's comprehension of many things had skyrocketed. It seemed he could finally comprehend the uses of Primordial Yins.
