Dyon's wives suddenly understood. They were intelligent in their own right If a virgin's primordial yin was enough to save someone who burned their soul, there's no way that Dyon would be the only one to use this method. The fact no one knew about it might really mean that it only worked for Dyon?!
"There's nothing to worry about, actually." Dyon said faintly through his meditation. "I had already concocted pills that could supercharge the healing of my soul in conjunction with the Soul Tome. It's just that I was so focused on you that I didn't take them. Then someone started kicking me, and someone else rammed into me with the full speed of a three facet Overlord, so I couldn't hold on anymore."
Clara and Ri looked at each other.
In the next instant, Dyon felt a powerful punch land on his right side and a blazing kick hit him from the left.
Dyon choked on air. Wasn't this too much? No matter what, he was still in a dangerous state right now. And, a normal Supreme would have erupted into a cloud of meat paste by now.
"Alright, alright. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Seeing that Dyon had the state of mind to joke around, Ri, Clara, Madeleine and Amphorae calmed down, looking on in curiosity.
The pressure Dyon was giving off would be suffocating to others, but for some reason, they felt even more comfortable now than they had before.
Dyon's hand stretched out.
"[Asura]"
A black hole of dark flames was slowly etched into existence. As his hard curved around in a circular pattern, more and more of it was drawn until eventually, a complex system of black flaming gears and runes manifested itself.
In those moments, it felt like the world was collapsing. The final [Judgement] wasn't worth much to Dyon anymore. Though it could treat the lives of Peak Dao Experts, and even Fallen, like blades of grass So could Dyon's normal fists.
However, there seemed to be something fundamentally different about this [Asura] array. It was far more powerful than it had been in the past.
Back when Dyon first burned his soul, he noticed that his arrays were more powerful as well. However, back then, he naively dismissed it.
The Dyon of now realized how foolish this was.
What decided the strength of an array wasn't the soul strength behind it, but rather the profundity of the runes it was drawn with. In this regard, it was different that battle techniques.
For a battle technique, strength was decided both by the quality of qi and the profundity of the technique. However, for an array, it was only decided by the strength of the runes that made it up. As long as you could draw it, it would always have the same strength.
Of course, there were ways to very narrowly increase the strength of an array. For example, array manipulation techniques like adding spin. Dyon often added quick rotations to his weapon's master arrays to give them more penetrative power
But this increase in strength was limited. One might want to mention [Soul Aid], but it had to be remembered that [Soul Aid] actually used calculations to modify the array, thus resulting in the changes in strength. So, any array [Soul Aid] was applied to would no longer fundamentally be the same.
In Dyon's youth, his soul talent was so overwhelming that he completely skipped over little minor rules like this, so he didn't understand just how amazing it was that his arrays were stronger without changing their runes at all!
'Just what is going on' Dyon mumbled to himself.
He crushed [Asura], dissipating it into the wind as he popped a pill into his mouth.
'Oh? I can control the speed of burning Is this possible for others?'
Dyon had never heard that the rate of soul burning could be controlled, so he had always gone all out from the very beginning.
Just now, he had faintly thought it would be better if he could stay in this state for longer, and as though subconsciously, his rate of soul burning slowed to a crawl.
Suddenly, all the uncomfortable effects of burning the soul completely vanished. The moment Dyon stopped going all out he even felt comfortable?
Dyon felt like he had suddenly opened his eyes to an all-new world.
Dyon was shocked. He realized in this instant that his soul was actually recovering faster than it was being burned. It was like this was the state his soul was meant to be in.
For a moment, Dyon was lost in thought.
All his life, his soul cultivation had been beyond even his own understanding. Even if he didn't actively cultivate it, it grew wildly almost to the point of being out of control. In fact, there were many times Dyon had to actively suppress his soul so that his own body didn't shatter under the pressure.
In recent times, this had become less and less of a problem in part due to his Titan Diamond Constitution in addition to his alchemy.
Currently, Dyon faintly believed that maybe the reason his soul refused to enter the Overlord realms in true force was because of a self protection mechanism. Maybe his body really wouldn't be able to withstand the change.
Of course, even without entering that Realm, Dyon's soul was far more powerful than even and Overlord's despite still being within the dao realms.
"You're really fine?" Ri muttered, looking at Dyon with a weird expression.
"My soul is still growing stronger" Dyon responded softly, checking himself.
The more he observed, the more shocked he became.
The burning of his soul was actually purifying it of lingering impurities! The gold soul qi of Innate Aurora wielders was already naturally purer than those who had normal white soul qi, but Dyon's soul seemed keen on pushing even past that.
'There's nothing else this could be It has to be a constitution. That's the only explanation.'
