Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 1808 Tremble

1808 Tremble

It looked as though the skies were crying tears of blood. The entire region for thousands of miles changed color, and many fell to their knees, unable to withstand the pressure. 

But Ryu looked right into the skies as the rain of blood fell onto his face. It pooled on his body, fusing with his own blood and running down his body in heavy droplets. 

He could feel it, the intangible Fate that was always to illusory and vague. Now, it felt not quite like just any other energy to him, but still far more accessible than it ever had been in the past. 

He could feel the gazes on him. Those gazes of shock, awe… fear. 

He could hear their heartbeats, their erratic beating and their quaking cadencies. 

He could sense the clenching of their fists, their apprehension. 

It felt like the world was roaring out to him, and his [Ephemeral Tapestry] seemed to have broken through a new level, one that he couldn't touch no matter how hard he tried right now… 

His eyes were far too spent. 

It was likely that for the next few days, he wouldn't be able to use them at all. And the only reason he could use a metric of days rather than years, or decades as a measurement, was only because he had Embryonic Qi. 

Even then, he knew it would take time. 

What he had done just now had gained a great deal of respect and fear, but it wasn't something that had come without a price. 

Even if it had been a normal mortal, he attempted to do such a thing with, he would have suffered greatly. 

The only reason he managed to do this now was because he had natural treasures the likes of which rarely appearing in his body. Only because he had the King of all Flames in his body, not just once, but twice over, did he dare to do this? 

That was the reality. 

Without his Beyond Perfect Extreme Spiritual Foundation, and without being able to target the elements in specific, he would have never succeeded… At least not until he truly grasped the power of a Dao God. 

But feeling what it was like to wield power of that level, to cast judgment on the Fate of another and change it as you pleased, Ryu felt his heart throbbing, wanting for more, pining for it. 

He was insatiable, and his blood thirstiness only seemed to increase. 

He could sense that many who had felt fear realized that they couldn't take a step back. If they lost in this fashion, their lives would be wiped out right here and now. And even if they managed to escape, how could Dao God Cloudfire possibly let them go? 

There was only one way forward now, and that was to kill or capture Ryu. 

Seeing that he was teetering on the edge, they saw their opportunity and rushed forward. 

The members of the Battalion seemed to awaken to Ryu's plight, and to their credit, they worked to block the path. 

Ryu had just gained the merit of aiding to slay a Dao Sovereign. If they couldn't do their part, wouldn't they be too ashamed to raise their heads? 

However, Ryu seemed indifferent to it all, continuing to stare into the skies. 

His body felt like it had given everything it had, and yet, he grinned a bloody grin. 

His Focus Qi was spent, his bones were practically shattered, and his muscles were ripped to pieces. At the same time, his eyes had blurred, making it difficult to see much of anything. 

And yet, he spread out his arms, his aura rising like a tide. 

In that moment, his soul rose out of his forehead. First, it looked like a small flickering flame of black, but soon is condensed into a small black humanoid figure. 

It sat cross-legged, and it seemed to be the only part of Ryu that was entirely unaffected. 

It opened its mouth and a large amount of qi began to be refined into Spiritual Quintessence. 

BANG!

Ryu shattered a barrier, entered the Perfect Soul Quintessence Realm in a single bound. 

His Focus Qi was replenished by a small margin thanks to the breakthrough, his soul capacity expanding once again. 

His [Heavenly Dao Tree] Visualization appeared once again. 

Ryu continued to stand there, but the tree lashed out for him. 

Everything that came close was ripped to shreds, sometimes being torn into several organized pieces as though Ryu was sculpting or butchering rather than fighting a battle. 

The Perfect Blackbody Soul was an interesting thing. 

These last few months, Ryu couldn't help but think of the "Perfect" in its name.

It elicited the same meanings and hidden understandings that the Perfect in his Beyond Perfect Extreme Spiritual Foundation. 

He had been wondering for a long time why that was. But after learning about his Beyond Perfect Extreme Spiritual Foundation, he just assumed that it was related to its ability to break limits and reach true perfection. 

It and his Spiritual Foundation were like two sides of the same coin. Both were aspect of his Incorporeal Souls, and they happened to share a similar nature. 

But just now, Ryu had had a true breakthrough, the kind that one could only have once in a lifetime… if you weren't a true monster, that is. 

Guiding his martial arts with his heart… with how close his Dao Heart and his Perfect Blackbody Soul were to one another, why couldn't they guide one another as well? 

In that, the aspect of his body that his Beyond Perfect Extreme Spiritual Foundation should have the most ability to exert control over should be his Perfect Blackbody Soul. 

In that case… 

Ryu told it to push him Beyond Perfect. 

In an instant, he had broken through and his black soul shimmered with a resplendent light that seemed to swallow all things. 

Ryu was slowly beginning to find more and more connections between his talents. 

And the day he truly fused them all… 

Existence would tremble.
