Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 1874  Iam

Ryu stood high in the skies with his hands clasped behind his back. He didn't seem to notice Adlael at all, as though he didn't care about his existence in the slightest.

With Ryu's abilities, it was impossible for him to have forgotten someone. Adlael didn't know this, but the result was just the same. If Ryu had forgotten him, then that just meant that he couldn't be bothered to keep space in his mind for someone so completely and wholly insignificant.

If anything, the fact that he did remember him only made the entire experience worse.

All the while, Ryu didn't have the time to mind Adlael's emotions. He was looking at the cloaked man that stood before the abyss.

By this point, Iam had also looked up. It was impossible that he hadn't noticed that the situation had fundamentally changed. But Ryu couldn't help but be impressed by this man's calmness. Even Ryu wasn't sure if he could be calm about such a thing.

There was no doubt that he had spent at least centuries working on this matter, and that was certainly a vast underestimate. For him to suddenly lose all of that progress at once should have been heart-wrenching, and yet here he stood, silent and unassuming.

Impossible to read.

Ryu had come to understand through this man's Feng Shui that he had a mind that worked on a different plane entirely. In Ryu's life, this was probably one of the first times that he was truly meeting someone with a strength of mind comparable to his own.

Of course, this didn't refer to soul talent or Dao Heart, but rather pure, raw, unfettered intelligence. It was hard to put it into words, but there was a hint of recognition in one another's eyes despite the fact the gap in their cultivation was enormous.

This, though, was precisely the reason why Ryu had chosen to come here personally instead of waiting it out.

He knew that whoever had done this had great cultivation, and they were very likely a Dao God already. Standing here, even with Lu'card and Ianjor present, was probably a death sentence.

Both of them were great talents, but they weren't even Sovereigns yet. Not to mention the fact that this man before him was certainly not from this world. That meant that, in all likelihood, his standard of cultivation was even higher than what was present in this world.

Even if he had been a Sovereign, the three of them working together would be hard-pressed to deal with him.

However, the fact that he was likely a Dao God made all of that impossible.

Even so, Ryu had chosen to come here. As for why… he had his own reasons. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"The young are truly getting better and better with every generation," Iam said lightly.

He had just scanned all three above one by one, and to his surprise, despite the fact there were two existences far above Ryu present in their group, one of them allowed him to ride on his head, and the other was very clearly waiting for Ryu's intentions before deciding to do anything.

This sort of sight was something that Iam had never seen…

No, it couldn't be said that he had never seen it, but rather that the number of True Sky Gods capable of doing what Ryu could were counted on maybe two hands even if you accounted for the entirety of Existence.

Although Ryu's foundation and talent seemed lacking compared to them… When it came to intelligence, resourcefulness, and comprehension, Ryu felt like he was in a league of his own. Or, at the very least, comparable to the few of them that were the best in this lane.

Ryu looked at Iam with a calm expression.

This man should be the one that had been causing his wife problems for so long. If he could, he would kill him right here and now. But it was obvious that that wasn't possible… At least not quite.

He wasn't at a level where he could play Dao Gods to death, even the weakest of them. In fact, if not for the Lords and Sovereigns he had come across until now being so inferior, he would have never been able to deal with them either.

"No need for flattery," Ryu said lightly. "We're standing on two opposing sides right now. You have a choice to make. We can either fight it out right here and now, or you can cut your losses and leave. Which will it be?"

The youths that followed along with Iam were taken aback. Their eyes widened and they couldn't believe that it was the True Sky God among them that actually spoke.

"Who do you think you're talking to?!"

It wasn't Iam or Adlael who responded, but rather a particularly lanky, but tall young man. He must have been about 2.5 meters in height, and he was hunched over as though the weight of his torso was too heavy to hold up straight.

His eyes flashed with vertical slits and a forked tongue slithered out of his mouth, the momentum of a Perfect Sky God raging through him as well.

Ryu's gaze shifted over almost lazily. He scanned the man over, and though it didn't show on his face, he had already realized that this young man was probably the strongest Perfect Sky God that he had ever met. He would make the Omniscient Sky Gods of this world kneel with a single glance. If not for the fact he didn't dare to outright attack in the presence of Lu'card, in all likelihood, he would have already given Ryu a great deal of pressure.

However, aside from a glance, Ryu paid him no further heed. He was only taking advantage of the young man's outburst to see through his disguised cultivation. Now that he had, he likewise had a splash of understanding ripple through his mind.

Why was it that Iam, someone so powerful, had brought so many weaklings along with him?
