Chapter 2033 Where?
?2033 Where?
In much the same way, Luna's own cultivation was exceptionally pitiful. Even after living for trillions of years, her true cultivation was also in the Foundation Realm.
However, Dyon's soul seemed to be able to break those shackles for her. Currently, her soul had actually reached the very peak of the Essence Soul Stage and was very close to the Saint Stage. Such a thing was unimaginable for other Heaven's Children.
The Essence Soul Stage was already the peak level soul an Essence Gatherer could withstand, and she was already on the verge of breaching Saint Realms.
Of course, to Dyon, this was incredibly slow. To now, he had been dual cultivating with Luna for about 40 or so years, reason being that Luna avoided becoming too intimate with him before ingratiating herself with Ri, Madeleine, Clara and Amphorae. Yet, this was as far as she had gone.
For context, Dyon who entered the martial world alone with no backing or real resources, entered the Saint Soul Stage in just about a year or two. Even his wives who had a slower speed than him reached that level in less than 5 years. And much of that time he spent in a coma after fighting Elder Daiyu and Loki!
Yet, Luna had yet to reach that stage even after 40 years. The difference was incredibly stark. But, at the same time, the impressive nature of Dyon's odd soul shone at the forefront.
Thanks to her improved soul strength, Luna suddenly found that controlling energy had become far easier. Whereas before she could only muster the strength to face Supremes, she now had no problem holding her own against two facet Overlords.
Her value as a trump card was even a level above Saru and Sargeras because no matter how strong she became, she would never be rejected by the Heavens.
This gave Dyon another avenue of improvement for Luna. If things progressed like this, maybe in another one hundred to two hundred years, Luna would be capable of controlling immortal qi on the mortal plane. In fact, due to the density of volatile energy on the Ancient Battlefield, she was even more powerful here as well.
"Also, after using [Reincarnation of Heaven's Staircase], my comprehension improved the most, but my qi did as well. I just need a few more decades and my qi should reach the Overlord Realm as well. By then, I should be able to become a three facet Overlord."
Dyon's eyes flashed.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing much…" Dyon said slowly. "… It's just that I've confirmed something. The attack on the dwarves was instigated by someone, and it seems that someone was a member of the Phoenixes."
"What animosity do the Phoenixes have with the dwarves? Or is it the elves?" Madeleine asked intelligently.
"I'm not certain, but what I do know is that the elves fought against the entity with the Celestial Deer Sect. At the same time, the old man alluded to the fact the rise of the Dark Phoenixes had the entity's handprints all over it.
"The Ice and Fire Phoenixes subsequently decided not to act against the Dark Phoenixes, yet they chose to chase down Amethyst's parents for daring to fall in love and have a child. This led to their destruction at Amethyst's hands in the end…
"But, to be capable of wiping out two Clans of that caliber, Amethyst would have to be several times more powerful… The fact she left behind a Faith Seed meant that she didn't perfect her mortal body which also means she couldn't have possibly wiped out the Phoenixes alone…
"In that case, maybe the Dark Phoenixes weren't alone in their actions at all. Maybe Amethyst was just a convenient figurehead for their demise. And maybe, the Phoenixes have a grudge against the elves and the Celestial Deer Sect as a result of whatever happened to lead to their end."
Madeleine's brows deeply furrowed. Hadn't it become very obvious that The Entity was working with the Sapientia in recent decades? And hadn't Amethyst's first action when she met Madeleine been to burn away her Sapientia bloodline and even her Sapientia glasses?
If the Sapientia could remain as a hidden enemy for all this time, who's to say there weren't others?
"Come." Dyon suddenly said, sweeping Madeleine's naked body up. "Let's go set a foundation for you to become a four facet Overlord."
"Where…?"
"Phoenix Territory."
**
Ice Phoenix territory was known for its silence. Other than the softly blowing snow, its people preferred to avoid the fanfare of a hustling and bustling region. If they wanted to experience such a thing, they would leave this place. Not that many of them cared to.
However, on this day, something drastically changed.
Nine white suns suddenly appeared in the skies. Though they didn't have any heat coming off of them, everywhere they passed, snow and ice seemed to melt on a whim. They had no ability whatsoever to fight back, they could only watch as their lush winter wonderland, known as a wasteland by those who hated the cold, became just like every other piece of land in this prison.
But this was only the beginning…
When observing from afar, it seemed that these nine massive suns only melted the snow. However, when it approached them, they suddenly realized that something far more sinister was occurring to their lands.
Not only was the snow melting, but the land beneath it was being compressed and depressed. Nine deep valleys followed the trajectory of the nine suns as though even the ground itself was being repelled.
What shocked the phoenixes observing this drastic change was the couple that stood amidst the nine suns.
One was a male with flowing violet hair. His eyes seemed to flicker with amethyst flames, dancing about with an arrogant flare.
His woman held his hand, watching on with an indifferent expression. She was gorgeous beyond reason, the kind of beauty that could only possibly appear on the Immortal Plane… Yet, she was here gracing them with her presence.
