Chapter 2295 - Dead (1) (2/2)

The remaining five Overlords finally sought to take action, but the stalling methods of Dyon beast partners were too fierce.

Biibi's speed had already crossed the threshold of Overlord. Linlin's shell was comparable to Immortal Plane defensive treasures. Shere's attack potency couldn't be ignored. And Sen's ability to manipulate the terrain was far too potent.

The only one among them that wasn't mentioned was Chenglei, but his improvements were beyond reason at times. He too, much like Dyon, hadn't accepted the descent of his Heaven's Staircase. But, there wasn't a single moment he hadn't spent improving himself.

In the past 80 years, Dyon often entered the Realm in order to concoct pills. He felt the pressure of doing so in such an environment improved his control and his ability to find the minor flaws in his refinement process.

Every time he entered, these five would follow him, but Chenglei could be said to be the most insane of them all.

During the first few attempts, he would only silently endure much like he had the first time.

However, as time progressed, he began to forcefully circulate his qi, purposely injuring himself with Immortal Grade Qi. It wasn't just his body, but also his soul. Then, he would rely on Dyon's half immortal grade pills to heal himself.

This sort of savage treatment brought the realms of his body, soul and qi far beyond their normal limits. Even without accepting his Heaven's Staircase, his strength grew exponentially. Even now, with just his body, he was no weaker than a Supreme.

Thanks to his connection to Dyon, his had comprehended Star Qi in just 80 years and his senses were at the bottleneck separating Divine Sense and Immortal Sense.

He vastly improved, relying on Junior's expertise to carve out a smoother path for himself.

He knew what he needed to do. If he wanted to avoid the fate of being mediocre on the Immortal Plane, he had to carve out his own path, a path that didn't just rely on the Sovereignty of the Dragon Race… But didn't entirely ignore it either.

Orcus failed to ever gain a Higher Existence corpse puppet for himself, but that was because he was too weak to kill Higher Existences without the ȧssistant of his undead.

However, Chenglei would be different, he would be a Necromancer that could stand on the frontlines along with his puppets. He and Dyon together would strike fear in any battlefield they stood upon.

He would follow Dyon to the ends of everything. He would reap the lives of anything that opposed him, even if what was to be reaped was the martial world itself!
