The reason for the fifth trial of the God trials was to test one's potential as an immortal. Those of the transcendent plane didn't have set life spans… Rather, the solidity of the dao heart decided how long they could live. Theoretically, a transcendent really could live forever.
The problem was that no one's dao heart, no matter how talented you were, could last forever.
Even Dyon's grand teacher's dao heart was on the verge of collapse, which was exactly why his appearance and demeanor were so old and sickly.
Thus, the connection between life force and the dao heart was clear… It was just that Dyon's dao heart consolidated a level of comprehension it wasn't prepared for… It was the equivalent of integrating celestial level meridians into the body of an essence gatherer… Dyon was lucky that he didn't die.
"… These flames…" For the first time, the entity's tone slightly changed as he finally found the root cause of Dyon's fall.
