Chapter 1371 Cradled

Dyon suddenly understood why the Sovereign Flame was such a sought after treasure. While to the less informed, it seemed as though his Presence had disappeared, the reality was that not only had it perfectly fused with his body, it had become far more potent. Dyon's every action was filled with majesty and Presence.

This wasn't as simple as a multiplication of power. Simply put, Dyon's opponents would have to have far greater cultivation than him to even stand a chance. If Dyon wanted to, he could already shatter more of Evangeline's seals.

In addition, as things stood now, the restrictions on Dyon were almost non-existent. Rules that bound others had no way of shackling him. It was as though his Presence fusing with him made him an overlord of the Laws of the Heavens. If his Presence reached a high enough level, he could ignore even the most hard-set rules of the Heavens!

Dyon couldn't help but think of Eli. On the day he reached G.o.d level Presence, he'd be able to remove the shackle on his friend.

Although Eli never complained, Dyon knew that he worked very hard to prove his usefulness. Although Dyon never saw Eli as a person to be used, Eli refused to be a burden In a world where power spoke volumes over everything, it was difficult for Eli to accept that he would never be able to properly cultivate in his lifetime.

Dyon's fists clenched. One day he'd release Eli of his shackles.

In the back of his mind, Dyon was faintly aware that the Sovereign Flame would only have such a big effect if taken before entering the celestial realm. This was because upon entering the celestial realm, one would undergo a major transformation. It was almost as though the Heavens were providing you with a portion of its strength so that you could monopolize an area of its territory.

However, the moment you relied on the Heavens to help you step onto the path of G.o.ds.h.i.+p, you had already lost the War. Even if you tried to retreat, it was too late.

'The Heavens really are just an evil loan shark' Dyon thought with disdain.

Breaking this restriction would be as impossible as a Heaven's Child leaving the umbrella of the Heavens. Since they couldn't do it even with their overwhelming talent, how could others do it?

The Heavens had really p.i.s.sed Dyon off this time. Without the Lightning Willow mask, his death would have been absolutely certain this time. He was in no state to withstand 81 strikes of the four-colored lightning.

'Hm?..' Dyon suddenly realize that his crown manifestation was s.h.i.+ning more brightly. Before he could think about it any more, he suddenly realized that just a meter in front of him stood an absolute beauty with tears running down her delicate cheeks.

"You finally realized that I'm here?" Madeleine said weakly.

Dyon felt a pang in his heart. With a single step, he crossed the distance that separated them and took her into his arms. He didn't know how he could forget something so important.

Madeleine giggled lightly, wrapping her slender arms around his broad back. It seemed Dyon had grown taller again, now standing at 6'8.

"Put on some clothes, pervert."

...

Dyon, after making himself a pair of comfortable sweatpants and cradled Madeleine in his arms, leaping into the skies. Since he was unable to control his new strength, he accidentally left a crater spanning 500 meters wide and a hundred meters deep, but he couldn't be bothered to care.

He smiled as he saw the beast babies happily floating around in the skies. But, his focus was on something entirely different.

Before, he had been so focused on the matters surrounding the Lord Creator that he forgot something incredibly important: Christian III was the key wielder of the 4th ranked quadrant! The sort of leverage this key gave him was invaluable.

Dyon remembered that back then, t.i.tus had ransacked their corpses. Could it be that he took the key for himself? Although taking the key of another quadrant was taboo, t.i.tus didn't seem like the kind to care about such a thing

As expected, Dyon was disappointed when he found the corpses of the five Golden Crow Sect disciples. They had practically been stripped naked.

"It's not too big of a deal." Madeleine consoled. "If anything, the fact t.i.tus has the key takes some pressure of us. Also, since t.i.tus was the one to kill him, that alleviates our pressure even more."

Dyon sighed, but in the end he nodded. He preferred to have Madeleine control the key Its use in war was too great. With its help, Dyon had confidence in using the Flaming Lily Sect to take over the territories of the Fiery Lotus and Flame Rebirth Sects before the Golden Crow Sect could form an appropriate response. But, without it, this was impossible

With Dyon's soul having truly broken into the dao realm now, he could finally use the true strength of the [Dao of Array Alchemy]. The level of formations within it were unlike anything these tower quadrants had ever seen before.

The only unfortunate part was that Dyon's soul qi had been forcibly raised to the planet qi realm. He didn't have the comprehension that came with it. However, with his soul talent, he was confident in as little as half a decade he'd be as proficient as any 1st Level Planet Lord.

'The auction will be a good place to gather the materials I need for laying these large-scale formations if what I have already isn't enough, that is'

Dyon took a step forward, gliding toward the open doors of the third phase castle before he suddenly froze.

'Those five spatial rings!' With a thought, Dyon caused the five spatial rings t.i.tus tossed at him to appear. They gently fell into Madeleine's hands who still happened to be in his arms.

In the next moment, a very family elaborate golden key appeared before the both of them. The last time Madeleine saw this key, she thought Dyon had died a horrible death. It was a kind of full circle irony for her to see the same image with such happiness now. Although she had said that everything would be okay before, seeing this key here was actually a great relief.
