1114 Death Wish
Wild arcs of lightning surged through Ryu's surroundings, his upper robes exploded to reveal a chiseled physique glistening with sapphire blue scales that seemed to have worlds of flashing lightning storms within them.
Horns grew from his forehead, claws extending from his hands as he grew an extra foot. He couldn't seem to hold back his boiling blood anymore and it surged like an endless tide, forcing those who were still alive to their knees.
''Die.''
His mouth separated to reveal a row of glistening white teeth and canines so sharp that they left ripples in the void as they moved.
The lightning arcing in the surroundings heeded Ryu's command, forming several whips that lashed out, shredding the survivors to pieces.
Ryu reached forward, facing a class orb that was over 15 meters in diameter. Without the slightest hesitation, his claw ripped forward, shredding it to pieces and accepting the baptizing. The information of a complicated Body Realm cultivation method.
Ryu wasn't opposed to it, it was just that he felt that he might be able to find something better so he didn't use it immediately.
Although he had [Refinement Sutra], he had already unearthed the full potential of his previous cultivation. However, as a Body Realm technique on its own, the [Refinement Sutra] wasn't good enough. While it would do well, what it wouldn't be able to do is reach past his limits and unearth potential he didn't know he had.
In order to get the most out of his [Refinement Sutra], it was best it be used like a fine chisel while he had another tool to act as a heavy hammer or large saw blade. Ryu needed something that could further unlock the potential of his Bloodlines and allow him to truly flourish.
The way Ryu saw it, it would be a lot like the [Tribulation Nine Clouds] technique he had used in the past. [Tribulation Nine Clouds] was able to use tribulation lightning to temper the Body Realm, Qi Realm or Mental Realm to break past the shackles of one's talent.
What Ryu wanted was a Body Realm technique capable of doing the same thing. Then, when it was paired with his [Refinement Sutra] and the carefully constructed Ores he created, the strength would be risen to an all new level.
Ryu's battle with Mae was a perfect example of why he needed such a thing. Without entering his Draconic form and allowing his Bloodlines to flourish, his bodily strength was too weak in comparison to others with similarly powerful bodies.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom If he wanted a body that fcould be powerful even when he suppressed his bloodlines, then he would need a new approach that stemmed beyond it.
This Body Realm cultivation technique wasn't bad. It was created by a Perfect Sky God who practiced a Dao related to multiplication and compression. Using these two laws, the body would steadily become more powerful under a process of continuous expansion and concentration.
The problem was that, for one, although Ryu could manipulate similar laws, he ultimately didn't have the matching Dao although he did have the ability to mimic it. And secondly, it ultimately just wasn't very powerful or impressive to him, so he stored it in the back of his mind before continuing onward.
If worse came to worst, he would just take out some time to ptentially create a fusion of the techniques. The possibilities left to him by having the [Unbalance Mantra] in his possesion were endless, and he would try his best to make use of them all.
It wasn't long before Ryu had made it to his next target inheritance. But when he saw the individuals who were battling over it, his expression turned even colder.
Enren, the head Inheritor Disciple of the Sentient Sword Sect, and Theris, the head Inheritor Disciple of the Demonic Flame Sect.
Seeing the two of them battle it out in the skies, everyone woh made it to this location stayed a far measure away. None of them wanted to get in the way of the clash of these two behemoths as in the minds of most here, they were the strongest existences there were. The only reason they remained to watch was to see just what would happen before they tried to find a new patch forward.
With the way the star roads worked ,only the one that claimed the inheritance could continue moving forward along that path. As for the others, they would either die or have to find a new method.
The only way to make it to the Dao Lor'ds inheritance was using the star roads in the skies, so everyone had no choice but to take this path forward.
To everyone's disappointment, though, Enren and Theris suddeenly separated, their expressions cold.
''There's no point in fighting it out to the end when we're still so far from the end goal.''
''Agreed,'' Theris said coldly.
''Then let's decide this as simply as possible. Rock, paper, scissors. Best two out of three. Whoever wins claims the inheritance, whoever loses has to find another road forward.
''Alright,'' Theris replied.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Their fists rocked through the air and caused booming waves of qi to surge in the direction. In the blink of an eye, they had finished and Theris' expression was ugly. Clearly, he had lost in the end.
However, just when Theris was about to turn and leave and Enren was about to happily accept the inheritance, a cold voice suddenly rang out.
''Did I agree?''
Ryu was looking towards Enren. He had no intention of diverting his path and slowing himself down just because of the agreement between two jumping clowns. And as far as he was concerened, Theris was nothing more than a dead man walking, so he didn't deserve his attention.
In an instant, dozens of gazes landed on Ryu, many schocked. They couldn't believe that a third party dared to speak here. Did this man have some sort of death wish?
