Chapter 2168 - Risk (1) (1/2)

Dyon could immediately feel that the swirling hot gasses of the nebula wanted to erode his soul qi. If it hadn't been for his evolution into Immortal Sense, this would have posed a great problem for him in the past.

In truth, he had to applaud the Ancestors of the Celestial Deer Sect. If nothing else, they were quite bold. To dare to hide their Legacy so deep within enemy territory… Dyon couldn't help but grin. Whoever the last Sect Head of the Celestial Deer Sect was… He was quite to Dyon's liking.​​

Not only was this Nebula within the territory of the 99 universes, it was hidden deep within the Nova Clan's core universe.

A large part of the reason the Nova Clan had such a name sake was because their cultivation techniques revolved around absorbing these oppressive and violent gasses. It was part of the reason they were the strongest of the four Clans of these 99 universes.

The idea of absorbing these gasses was intriguing to Dyon, but it was ultimately useless to him. The red crystals he had found in the wyvern's layer all those years ago held a similar type of qi. In fact, that qi was many times more potent than these Nebula Vapors despite only being of the saint grade. To now, the only more oppressive attack Dyon had in terms of pure base power, ignoring techniques, was an attack with his Chaos Flames. The attack he could produce with that red qi ranked second.

Of course, Dyon's Chaos Flames had still yet to awaken their true strength, so this didn't mean much on the surface. But it was worth mentioning that this second-place rank was with the saint grade of this red qi. Who knows how powerful a celestial grade, or even dao grade, version would be?

[Author's Note: This red qi was found a while ago. Hasn't been mentioned since Dyon found it in wyvern territory.]

'Well… There's no use just standing out here… I assume this is the first test, so let's pass it with flying colors.'

A violent surge of energy erupted around Dyon. His tanned skin, originally shining a radiant gold after entering the Gold Silk Realm, became crystalline. The reflective rays of the bright gasses and the stars in the distance reflected off of his skin, making him radiate like a polished gem.

In the next moment, his qi erupted as well. A shield of dense bold type qi was form in an instant, forming a cocoon around Dyon's body.

After comprehending enigmatic qi, Dyon's Silver Mirror Constitution had advanced by leaps and bounds. It was no longer just as simple as countering attacks…

Thanks to his Immortal Sense, Dyon began to understand that the mysteries of this Heaven Grade Constitution weren't so simple at all. It contained deeply entrenched Laws of Gentle Force and Flow.

These supposed Laws were still to far beyond Dyon's means to fully understand. But it seemed the more powerful he grew, the more often he seemed to run into them…
