Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 1867  Crest

Ianjor looked at Ryu in confusion. He was clearly not the only one confused either, because Lu'card had no idea what was going on too.

They had both been called here by Ryu, and honestly, they just thought he wanted to use them as bodyguards. As for what his actual purpose was, they were in the dark.

However, Ryu didn't know much about what his purpose was either. All he knew was that his wife asked him to do something, so he was going to do it. As for what underlying reasons she might have, it was going to have to take some time before he uncovered it.

That said… he was a man of his word.

Ten days.

Since he had given such a time limit, he would do it swiftly and beautifully.

"Nothing major," Ryu explained without them having to ask much of anything. "Just have to unify this Beast Domain. Let's get to work."

… The trio began to move. With Ryu at their core, their battles were… mind-numbingly easy.

The combination of Ryu and Lu'card was extremely potent, especially since spatial qi was an energy that, at a high enough level, even Sovereigns would have difficulty reading.

However, with the addition of Ianjor, it was like everything had changed all at once.

The abilities of the Fire Pupils obviously all revolved around fire. Its basic ability was simply known as [Fire]. However, it was precisely because the name was so simple that it was so shocking.

A person with the Fire Pupils was capable of absorbing the flames that they came into contact with to create their own flames. Technically speaking, they could do this essentially without limits so long as their bodies could handle it, and their eyes had unlocked enough seals to withstand it.

If Ianjor was Ryu, he would have long since absorbed the Ice Flame, the Rebirth Flame, the Death Flame, and all the others to create a single, unique, super flame.

There was a reason that there was a ranking of everything else in the world, but there didn't seem to be much of a ranking for flames. This was because, in the history of the world, the most powerful flames would always be in the hands of Fire Pupil wielders, and would just appear for a single generation before blinking out of existence.

There were some powerful Fire Pupil wielders of the past that passed down their eyes, and thus the flames that they nurtured. But this was an… exceptionally difficult task.

Everyone spoke of stealing Heavenly Pupils, but no one talked about how difficult it was for people to integrate with them. For Fire Pupils, it might be among the most difficult.

If you had Heavenly Pupils, you were practically guaranteed to reach high realms of cultivation. If you were nurturing a flame within them, just how difficult would it be for your descendants to integrate with this flame?

Would they have to wait until they, too, were Dao Gods before they could do so? But if they had to wait that long, by then, they would already have their own carved-out path. Trying to add to it at that point would be like ascending the Heavens themselves. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

There were too many logistical issues with this path, and it was one that many didn't take precisely as a result of this.

This aside, Ianjor had only had his Fire Pupils for a short while, relatively speaking. But because he was so powerful, it was also easy for him to gather up powerful flames all on his own.

By this point, his flames were truly potent and allowed his other abilities to shine through powerfully.

[Fire Domain]. [Infinite Flame]. [Piercing Origin]…

Ianjor had clearly unlocked far more abilities than Lu'card had on his own, and it showed.

[Fire Domain] was another foundational ability that formed a Domain of heat and fire that oppressed enemies, quickened recovery speed, and even increased the concentration of Fire Qi in the region, making a Fire Pupil user stronger as the battle went on.

[Infinite Flame] was the ability to forcefully convert other qis into flames even when they weren't originally so. This was probably the most shocking of Ianjor's abilities, but Ryu felt that he was far too foolish with how he used it. He lacked any sort of innovative eye at all.

[Piercing Origin] was definitely Ianjor's strongest attack skill. It concentrated his unique flame into his Pupils and sent them out in a laser beam. It was simple and straightforward, but it likewise exhibited a level of flame control that even Ryu couldn't match.

Ryu could definitely concentrate his flames into a laser… but it wouldn't be so thin or so dense.

[Piercing Origin] could practically blow through all defenses. Ryu wasn't convinced just yet that it couldn't break through even a Lower Dao God's protective qi. That was how powerful it was.

Even so, Ianjor had only unlocked less than 300 of his 999 Seals. So, Ryu was happy to oblige while using him as a workhorse.

Like this, it wasn't just Lu'card unlocking new abilities with every battle, but Ianjor as well. Suddenly, the two forgot that they were supposed to be angry with Ryu at all and they began to take it as a fun ride.

In just three days, they had already swept through half of the Beast Domain. They were already more than on pace for a successful venture.

It was then that the situation began to change along the edges.

… A group approached the Beast Domain from its edges. They walked slowly, but they crossed dozens of kilometers with every step.

Each one of them had an incomparable aura and majesty.

From time to time, chains would rattle around them and the vague forms of beast souls would take shape only to vanish afterward.

If Ryu had been there, he would have recognized one of their faces immediately.

It was none other than Adlael… the senior brother of Ramon who Ryu had killed by shattering his Dao Heart.

As for how he appeared here, the crest that was on their chests seemed to reveal everything, and yet nothing at all… only those with high enough standing would recognize the crest…

The crest of the Ruin Master Guild.
