Suddenly, a vast accumulation of energy began rushing toward Dyon. At first, Elder Conli had only sneered, but as it continued to climb, his facial expression couldn't help but change. It was only at this point that he realized, he couldn't sense any cultivation coming from Dyon at all!

This truly filled him with fear, but what he didn't know was that the reason he couldn't sense Dyon's cultivation was because it was sealed. However, this truth was unknown and thus gave exactly the added pressure Dyon was looking for. Since his cultivation was sealed, and Elder Conli had little understanding of formations, it seemed like all of this energy was swirling around at Dyon's behest. Making it seem like he was also a half-step transcendent!

The ring on Dyon's finger glowed brightly, communicating back and forth with the source of Dyon's power.

6 days ago, on the first night Dyon spent in this trial world, he had spent a ridiculous amount of time scanning the Angel Clan territory and marking down notes. His goal was to understand the Feng Shui of the area, and what he found astounded him. It turned out that the Angel Clan alone had more than ten abyssal core areas in their territory alone!

After some thinking, Dyon came to understand that this was a result of the Energy Core.

Special plots of land sometimes tend toward one element or another. Most of the time, land is completely neutral, but at other times, it was a magnet for wills. Under normal circumstances, most of these special plots of land never grew into anything overly special, at most they might become a relatively taller mountain if it was fond of earth will, or a world-shaking volcano if it was more fond of fire will. Even if those plots of land managed to transcend those levels and become true abyssal cores, it would take tens to even hundreds of millions of years. However, the Energy Core changed all of that!

The Energy Core was essentially a massive magnet for all energies of the world, and that includes Gama Energy which contains all of the wills of the world. Because of this, the areas surrounding the Angel Clan which had affinity for certain elements were able to gather the necessary energy for them to evolve at a heaven defying pace. The result was that in a mere few decades, the abyssal cores of the Angel Clan had reached a frightening level!

Abyssal cores were ranked from the will level, to the intent level, and finally the dao level. The level of the abyssal core decided what peak level of understanding an individual could reach by relying on them. For example, in Dyon's universe, the Ice Belt had reached the peak intent level, which was how it was able to benefit Patia-Neva so well.

However, the abyssal cores of the Angel Clan had long since reached the dao level!

Originally, Dyon's plan was to use the concepts of Feng Shui to boost the power of his formation to unprecedented levels. But, that was when he thought of another idea. If he could use the spiritual vein to directly power his arrays, why not use the power of these abyssal cores to directly power himself?!

The issue with this plan was that it was highly dangerous. One can imagine what would happen if Dyon allowed dao level energy into his body, wouldn't he directly explode? He simply didn't have the power to wield such strength. However What if he had a weapon that wielded that strength for him?

At first, Dyon had been planning on borrowing Amphorae's lyre. It was only after it had been created that Dyon began to think that his plan was feasible. However, he didn't like the idea of leaving his wife without protection of her own, so when he peered into Jabari's spatial ring, and found the glaive, he was incomparably excited because he finally had the means to execute his plan.

Although the glaive was only a first stage Spiritual weapon, it was a body path weapon, making it far sturdier than soul and energy path weapons of its class. In addition, there were many dao formation experts who could only use Spiritual level weapons. In fact, the vast majority of them had no choice. One shouldn't be fooled by the fact that only celestials could bring out the full power of a Spiritual weapon, because the truth was that Spiritual weapons were able to withstand dao level prowess as well!

So, Dyon no longer hesitated. His ring glowed as it connected with his glaive, filling it with an inconceivable amount of power.

Wind will. Fire will. Darkness will. All furiously spun around his blade, breaking through the intent level, then piercing through the dao level.

At that moment, three majestic dao arrays spun viciously around his glaive, one an ethereal green, another a fiery red, and yet another a foggy black.

The black glaive roared with happiness, extending its three foot blade another two feet and glowing viciously.

However, when Elder Conli saw this, he calmed. Although he didn't understand formations, he could see that Dyon was channeling an outside power source into his glaive. However, if that was the case, what did he have to be afraid of?

"I know what you're thinking." Dyon suddenly said, resting the glaive on his shoulder once again. "You think that despite the fact I have this much power, I'll never hit you, right?"

Elder Conli shook. The fact Dyon dared to say this Could he be wrong?

"Go." Dyon said softly.

In that moment, the nine angel clan ministers erupted, flying toward the ten mysterious clan elders at breath taking speeds.

"Hmph." Elder Conli raised his hand to stop them. Did they really think he would just stand there?

But, that was when his expression changed completely. Dyon had disappeared!

A spine-tingling wave of killing intent came from behind Elder Conli, causing his eyes to widen. He actually didn't dare to ignore the attack!

Elder Conli turned abruptly, only to find a world splitting glaive falling down.

BOOM!

A miserable figure flew out, slamming into the earth and burrowing into it hundreds of meters. That figure was actually Elder Conli!

In the skies, Dyon vomited a mouth-full of blood, unable to withstand the impact. His arms even directly shattered, however that was when he funneled the energy of the spiritual vein into himself directly. Since it was on a smaller scale, he didn't need to use the crystal staff and instead directly used the ring on his finger.

This was nothing short of self-mutilation, but Dyon didn't bat an eye. In fact, he treated it like training.

With every strike, every bone in his body would directly be turned to mush, then he'd flood his body with life energy from the spiritual vein, but also allow ridiculous amounts of Primordial Energy to interweave the structure of his bones, multiplying his physical prowess with every refinement.

Elder Conli roared in anger, erupting from the earth under everyone's astonished eyes and flying toward Dyon at breakneck speeds.

He was incomparably angry. This was supposed to be as easy as slaughtering chicken, yet he had actually been sent flying by a junior?!

The problem was that the requirements to become a half-step transcendent was to cross the barrier into a high-level dao, corresponding to the 7th-9th dao level. Although not everyone who managed to do so would reach that level, all those who had succeeded, obviously had. This meant one thing: even for a half-step transcendent like Elder Conli, the maximum will level he could use was at the dao level. Understanding this, how could dao level abyssal energy not have the power to content with him?!

However now, Dyon faced his own problem. Although his thinking speed could keep up with Elder Conli, his eyes and body definitely could not. He couldn't even see Conli as he sped toward him. All he knew was that he was most definitely headed toward him right now.

That said, Dyon didn't panic. He was already ready for the possibility that his eyes would fail him, and he also knew that his Perception's effectiveness would be halved without his eyesight. After all, it was a martial art, meaning it relied on his body. A so-called 6th sense was more energy and soul related. But, Dyon was prepared.
