Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

At that moment, a shimmering gold caught Yaana\'s attention. Though it was broken and fragmented in several places, and was contaminated with other colors as well, it still had an appeal that couldn\'t be ignored.

Right then, Nemesis and Little Rock appeared. Without hesitation, both took half of False Sky God Gione\'s corpse for themselves.

"Alright, it seems like it\'s time to go."

Ryu looked back, finding numerous pairs of eyes on him. But, through the veil, his gaze chose to land on True Sky God Arcus.

Ryu was the type of person who wasn\'t very good at forgiving. He had let Fidroha live only because she had become an ant completely unworthy of his effort. But, a True Sky God though… That was a grievance who would make sure to repay.

He was far too petty to let Jan live. The moment he had the strength to do so, he would be near the top of his list. There was nothing that had occurred on this battlefield that had escaped his notice. If you wanted to kill him, you should be prepared for retaliation.

Ryu\'s finger snapped an his Storm Talent surged. Dozens of thick bolts of violet lightning fell from the skies, crashing into the Bowman Faction until it was razed to the ground.

The dragons and humans fighting in the region were completely caught off guard, but by then Ryu had already stepped onto the nearest long distance teleportation formation.

Jan\'s expression had turned a frightening shade of cold already. But, Ryu didn\'t seem to care in the slightest how much he was pissed off. Could his rage compare to his own?

When Ryu vanished, the entire Armament Guild fell into complete silence. Even the Wind Dragon was speechless.

\'This brat is going to be even more of a disaster than his old man…\'

"Is it really safe to come back here, Ryu?" Yaana looked around, feeling worried once more.

The group found themselves on the Pedestal Plane not long afterward. The long distance teleportation provided by the Armament Guild was among the best and with Ryu\'s manipulation, there was almost nowhere he couldn\'t go with its help. He would have directly entered the Mortal Plane, but it could cause some complications due to his current cultivation, so he had refrained from doing so.

"It\'s no problem. Now that my eyes are in the Cosmic Realms, I can hide from most detection methods. Plus, the safest place is probably almost always the most dangerous place." Ryu explained.

The most potent detection methods in the universe were all related to Fate and finding Lines of them. But, who was better at this than Ryu himself?

In addition, after the complete reset of Faith, it was no exaggeration to say that Ryu had the greatest Faith tied to him currently, or at least among the greatest. He might still be slower compared to many Sky Gods as they had formal titles and people felt an innate reverence to them.

But, this still meant that the backlash associated with trying to find him by these methods were quite heavy as well.

It took a while, but Ryu finally managed to calm Yaana in this way. Then, the group began making their way to the Mortal Plane.

Ascending had been as easy as breathing for Ryu, but Descending was a different matter entirely. There was even a chance that he could be fiercely rejected considering how high his cultivation was. But, he had to at least try.

"Ryu, how\'d you do it?" Yaana finally couldn\'t hold back her curiosity.

"Do what?"

"How did you kill him?"

"I used an ability called . Depending on several factors, I can reverse any injuries I\'ve suffered onto an enemy, essentially giving myself an instant heal to peak condition. Against someone who had lost control of themselves like that fallen False Sky God, using it cost me almost no effort at all."

Yaana\'s eyes widened. Wasn\'t that ability almost too ridiculous?

Imagine that you were in a tough long drawn out battle and someone pulled out such a card. You\'d end up with double the fatigue and injury, and suddenly find yourself fighting someone in pinnacle condition. It was… Almost unfair.

The truth was that was only supposed to appear deep into the Cosmic Realm awakening of Ryu\'s Heavenly Pupils. But, when he broke through, he awakened both and at the very same time.

In fact, the latter could often be even more useful than the former. was a weaker form of an ability of the Second Ranked World Pupils. It essentially stripped those in its Domain of the ability to use atmospheric qi. The trouble was that it also did the same to Ryu.

Still, it was quite useful because Ryu didn\'t need to be in the range of the colorless domain. He could control the size of the Domain and he could project it outward as far as his eyes could see. Without atmospheric qi, those at and beyond the Immortal Ring Realm lost at least half their strength if not more.

Against an enemy who couldn\'t control their internal qi at all like False Sky God Gione, Ryu had essentially forced him into a corner where he could do nothing else but take a vicious beating.

Of course… Ryu also got a lot of help from the awakening of his Dragon Soul. It seemed it wasn\'t difficult at all for him to evolve his Dragon\'s Might to this upper level. But, since he had Fire Dragon blood running through his veins, it made sense. After all, this species was entirely fueled by rage, and Ryu had a lot of that…

"Then that Godhood, what are you going to do with it?"

Yaana had finally completely relaxed, a bright smile on her face. She seemed to take a simple pleasure in Ryu telling her secrets he would tell almost no one else. It made her feel a lot closer to him, she couldn\'t help but reveal an adorable smile.

Ryu\'s steps stopped in seemingly the middle of nowhere. His gaze could feel it, the entrance was here.

"Oh, that? I\'m going to use it to evolve my Realm Heart from the Mortal Realms to the Immortal Realms."
