Chapter 1380 Interesting

Techniques of body refinement relied on the vitality within the blood to speed up the process of healing and strengthening. By forcing your blood along certain paths, it would be similar to completing an array within your body that can siphon this vitality away for your benefit.

It seemed that not only were the meridian pathways hidden magic circles, but blood veins were similar in the fas.h.i.+on as well. In reality, Dyon knew this already. After all, what was Runic Vein theory if not a practice that took advantage of this truth?

In addition, there were blood manipulation techniques that followed this same path as well. Dyon had learned many such techniques due to him following his Master's teachings.

Dyon rarely used these blood manipulation techniques, but that wasn't because they were useless. Rather, they stemmed from mere common grade techniques, so not all of them ended up as powerful as his [Vanis.h.i.+ng Fists].

There were blood manipulation techniques that increased speed, some increased strength, and still other could harden bone. Blood manipulation techniques could be considered a branch of Runic Vein theory that was much less permanent, essentially.

Judging by the contents of this body refinement technique t.i.tled [False G.o.d Body] such techniques drew from concepts of blood manipulation, runic vein theory, and body cultivation.

[False G.o.d Body] worked in units of Vital Essence or Vital Qi. The more vital qi you could acc.u.mulate in your blood, the stronger your refinement would be. But, as one might expect, the requirements for even starting to use this technique were incredibly high. Luckily, Dyon wasn't far from meeting them. Once he reached 500 000 000 jin from his current 200 000 000 jin weight, he would be qualified.

Placing [False G.o.d Body] aside, Dyon picked up the next booklet. This time, he didn't find a cultivation technique, but rather a portion of the legacy left behind by the Golden Crow Clan, an existence the current Golden Crow Sect couldn't even match 1% of.

One had to understand that Orcus might have been born with the Death G.o.d Body, but that was simply a product of fate and chance. His base abilities were tied to his golden crow bloodline. A bloodline that could rival angels at its peak.

This technique was known as the [Nine Suns of Armageddon]. It was a Peak Divine Grade technique that was half a step into the Mystical Grade. This technique was the most powerful attacking technique of the Golden Crow Clan of era's past. In its full form, it was a true Mystical Grade technique. Unfortunately, as years pa.s.sed, the will of the technique deteriorated to its current state.

The concept of will deterioration is a bit novel, but easy to understand. When a technique is created, it's infused with the will of the one who created it. It's because of this that Dyon can read books without even opening the front page.

Over time, however, this will can weaken. After all, no will is eternal, even those that follow the legendary Immortal Path like Lilith's sword will cannot possibly accomplish such a feat.

Normally, a Clan or Sect is able to sustain this will for extended periods of time by utilizing Faith. This enigmatic concept allows the will of a Clan's ancestors to survive long past their base ability.

Unfortunately, as the Golden Crow Clan withered away in time, they obviously lost the ability to sustain something as powerful as a Mystical Grade technique. As a result, although the [Nine Suns of Armageddon] was complete and without flaw, it was missing a certain quintessence that once made it unspeakably powerful.

There was a chance Dyon could reclaim this quintessence by comprehending the technique. But, he would have to reach the One with Self realm to do so One can imagine just how difficult it was to do such a thing with a divine grade technique that was once of the mystical grade.

As things stood now, though, Dyon couldn't even call upon a single sun. The minimum requirement of comprehension to use this technique was a 3rd stage Fire Dao, something Dyon was far from. Dyon a.s.sumed that those with unique flames could lower these requirements, but he wasn't prepared to break through just yet to test it out. He would set it aside for now and come back to it in the future.

Following this logic, it's easy to understand why Soul Rending Peak's mystical grade technique still survived to this day. Not enough time had pa.s.sed since the Peak's destruction for the will to deteriorate.

The next technique was yet another Core Teaching of the Golden Crow Clan. It was t.i.tled [Sun G.o.d Body]. At first, Dyon had planned to set it aside after reading its t.i.tle and feeling a bit of its will. After all, it seemed like a defensive type technique, but Dyon had const.i.tutions that served this purpose. There was no need to set aside more time to learn such a technique, he couldn't split his focus too much.

However, something caught the attention of his senses.

'This could be interesting' Dyon muttered.

As things stood now, if Dyon decided to name himself the second ranked defensively among those of his cultivation, he was almost willing to bet his life that no one would dare to claim first place. The effect of having two of the top three defensive const.i.tutions was far too potent. This was especially so when Dyon activated his t.i.tan Emperor's Will or used Bold type energy.

Knowing this, it was pretty obvious why Dyon would be unwilling to waste his time learning a defensive technique. However, this one was different.

When used in conjunction with [Nine Suns of Armageddon], this technique becomes one of the most dangerous ones in all of existence.

The basic use of [Sun G.o.d Body] was to absorb flames. Once these flames are absorbed, they're directly translated into your strength. For the Golden Crow Clan that had once built their Clans atop of Stars, this made them nigh undefeatable in their home territory.

'How did such a Clan decline' Dyon couldn't understand it. The more he read, the more shocked he became. To turn the power of stars into your own That was ridiculous!
