Chapter 2109 Weak
?The small spark of a golden flame flickered into existence before disappearing. The cycle continued again and again, endlessly. It seemed for a moment that it really might never succeed.
The Overlords didn't understand what was going on, but they could feel the skies screaming. Tribulation clouds swarmed above, sending strikes of lighting downward that bombarded Dyon's body. They seemed greedy to kill him where he stood, burn him completely to ash.
Dyon's empty eye sockets turned up to the skies. Even without pupils, his disdain was clear.
"Fuck off."
It seemed the Heavens had forgotten that they gave this Ancient Battlefield to Dyon to control. To anyone else, everything was far more difficult in this place. However, to Dyon, it was the exact opposite. This battlefield was where he reigned supreme.
Dyon realized the Heavens didn't have full control over his constitution precisely because it wasn't the original Titan Diamond Body to begin with. Dyon's constitution was the fusion of two Titan Diamond Bodies!
The tribulation clouds froze. As though playing a backdrop to the birth of something new, it could only watch as golden flames erupted around Dyon's body, incinerating the corpses and fields of blood for miles.
Dyon indifferently sensed the golden flames around him. Even the corpses of the numerous Overlords around him, corpses that wouldn't have decayed for millions of years if left alone, were incinerated to ash. Yet...
"... What weak flames."
Dyon extinguished the golden flames as though he disdained to use them. Compared to his chaos and purity flames, the proud flames of the Golden Crow were more than just a single level inferior. Ancestor Golden Crow had comprehended his flame to the Law realm, yet it was still weaker than Dyon's Dao flame.
Ancestor Cyclops' struggling soul appeared in Dyon's palm. His nascent form was a mere baby, a far cry from Dyon's own mature soul. It could actually be considered quite adorable, even with its singular eye. However, Dyon crushed it into motes of light just as unfeelingly. It didn't feel like he was crushing an Overlord at all... But rather than he was swatting an annoying insect out of existence.
"Pay the price for your own ignorance."
Dyon's words reverberated in their minds like an endless echo. It resonated with their souls, causing their hearts to pound uncontrollably.
He had already given them a warning, a benevolent chance that they didn't grasp. They should have taken the chance to attack as one while his strength was still fluctuating... While it had still yet to stabilize.
But instead, they delivered Ancestor Golden Crow to him on a silver platter. The moment they allowed Dyon to find a catalyst to snatch more of this world's fundamental runes, they had already lost.
Dyon didn't even need to verbalize their mistake. His actions were enough for them to know how foolish they had been. He had given them a chance to fight back, yet they had completely squandered it.
What truly shook their hearts to the core was that Dyon's strength had taken two massive dives downward. Once after he killed Ancestor Golden Crow, and another after he slaughtered Ancestor Cyclops, a giant hundreds of times his size.
It was clear that the Heavens were still trying their best to expunge his influence, to squash his existence and pretend as though he didn't exist. But Dyon was improving even faster than the Heavens could suppress him. Such a reality shook the nine Overlords to their core.
The space around Dyon trembled once more as the fundamental runes began to form.
Ancestor Cyclops had comparatively more golden runes than Ancestor Golden Crow had had. Dyon still wasn't entirely sure what this meant quite yet, but he could subconsciously feel that it was more useful to him.
Just when the fundamental runes barely stabilized, Dyon's body explosively increased in size, the fibers of his body becoming like taut metallic filaments. Each muscle fiber was so powerful that every individual line forged of their path could be seen through Dyon's skin.
Dyon shrunk down a moment later, dispelling the runes to add the rotation of them around him.
"Inconvenient."
