Book 7: Chapter 85: 53 (3)

A moment later, Dyon seemed to understand. This was the first peak saint embryonic beast he had defeated in his time here, a Green Steel Feathered Eagle. Judging by the gold feathers on its crown, its bloodline was on the precipice of evolving. Considering the fact a Green Steel Feathered Eagle was a high heaven grade beast, such an evolution really wasn’t something to be snubbed. It was no wonder it hated Dyon so much.

Dyon shifted the gaze from the eagles to his body and couldn’t help but cringe. He could quite literally see his heart beating through his cracked rib cage. One could only imagine the state his lung would have to be in for his heart to be visible from the side. His left arm was missing half of its muscles and skin, he could see where his shoulder connected to his right arm, and several of his fingers and toes had mysteriously disappeared.

When Dyon tried to lick his lips to display his shock, he suddenly noticed a current of air that shouldn’t have been there. To his horror, his fears were confirmed when he raised his hand to his face only to realize that almost its entire left side was missing.

‘What the hell…’

In the next instant, a wave of pain overwhelmed Dyon. 53 years of accumulated wear and tear ravaged his body, overloading his nerves and almost frying his brain entirely.

Dyon’s body turned stiff, convulsing violently. He grit his teeth, weathering wave after wave of the onslaught.

He couldn’t believe how much it hurt. Dyon was a man who had had his body broken down to its very molecules, all to earn the right to energy cultivate. He could still remember his body turning into nothing but a mist of blood and meat… Even the pain of having his body nearly completely destroyed by a half-step transcendant wasn’t this painful!

Seeing Dyon in pain, the green eagle’s remaining eye shone with a gloating light before it finally passed away, happily dying knowing that it had caused its enemy to suffer. Dyon didn’t have the time to realize that this creature seemed to have more intelligence that the other infernal beasts.

Had the other beasts been smarter, they would have likely run from Dyon just like Silver Fang had initially — due to his bloodline. However, they all fought him like madmen. It seemed that earning the right to have an infernal core was also related to one’s ability to defy the heavens… The beast path was more complicated than Dyon have it credit for.

“Big brother!” The celestial beast babies, having finally gained the ability to communicate with essence energy watched Dyon worriedly.

The moment three adorable female voices and a surprisingly deep male voice entered his mind, Dyon knew who it came from. Although he hadn’t always had his mind in the past 50 or so years, they had always been by his side. How could their relationship not grow?

Dyon grit his teeth, unable to speak. Slowly, he began to communicate with his inner world.

He was pleasantly surprised to see that it had grown along with his energy cultivation. He could sense that he was currently in the process of filling his 105^th meridian, and with that growth in strength, his inner world had gone from stretching only about ten meters, to creeping up on about a hundred meters. Still, it was still filled with the same cracked and infertile land, looking like an ancient and disposed ruin ground.

The remainder of the 60% of healing energy Dyon saved began to flow into his body. Dyon had specifically not touched it in the last few decades to save it for this moment.

White flames danced along Dyon’s body, slowly healing his ghastly wounds. Dyon could only chuckle bitterly as he watched energy he had saved for so long dissipate so quickly.

His chest was slowly restored, his arms regained their muscles and skin, and soon afterward, his handsome face reappeared. What once was a walking zombie had become a human once more. Unfortunately, the price was all of the healing energy Dyon had left.

Days later, Dyon breathing finally steadied itself after a deep sleep. When he awoke, he found four familiar faces looking down at him.

A beautiful celestial deer and tiger, an adorable celestial turtle, and a mischievous celestial ape who could already match Dyon in height.

Dyon grinned. “Aren’t you four a little too useless? 53 years and still at the essence gathering realm? Isn’t that too pitiful?”

The four looked at Dyon with aggrieved expressions. It was so difficult to cultivate here. It was even more difficult for them as celestial beasts because it was the exact opposite of their path affinity. How could he expect more?

“Meanie!” Biibi’s immature voice filled Dyon’s mind. “I’m telling Granny Celest on you!”

Dyon laughed heartily. Sometimes, going through years of hardship was only worth it for moments like this.
