Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 1798 Peak

1798 Peak

Ryu and the Dao Sovereign looked at one another in silence. The latter could tell that Ryu had no fear of him, but that also made sense.

Any genius who could form a Founding Dao was a monster amongst men and a Goddess amongst women. They would naturally be haughty.

This time, it was Ryu's turn to be surprised, because the Fey man didn't react with anger or haughtiness of his own.

He simply nodded. "I look forward to watching your performance. Once you become a Transcended, with your strength, I can make an exception and allow you to command a battalion. Your military merits have already been calculated. You may go."

Ryu looked at the man curiously for a moment, and in the end he did something he never did.

He cupped his fists and then turned to leave.

In Ryu's life, he had only bowed twice, each one for his masters. In terms of cupping his fists… he couldn't remember having ever done it. Considering he had the Origin Flame, that could only mean that he had truly never done it before.

The moment Ryu did so, the Dao Sovereign felt lines of Fate wrapping around him. It was so powerful that he was completely taken aback. But by the time he recovered, Ryu had already disappeared.

Droplets of sweat beaded down his forehead. What kind of young man could cause such a thing just by showing a slight hint of respect? In fact, he suddenly felt that his bottleneck had loosened.

He had already given up on reaching the Dao God Realm in this lifetime.

But a True Sky God had given him a minuscule chance just by cupping his fists?

Nothing the man did could stop his heart from thrumming wildly.

In that moment, the Fey Dao Sovereign, Kiran Omegan, had made the decision to protect this boy.

…

Ryu walked out of the tent with a peculiar expression on his face.

This wasn't the first time that something like this had happened to him, but it still left him speechless. It was like the Heavens were reminding him that he was an asshole.

Going through his life without handing out the slightest bit of respect to anyone was almost funny. In fact, he had a chuckle at his own expense.

That said, that didn't mean that he had any intention of changing.

He was who he was. He would refine his Temperament and polish it, ridding it of its impurities. But the foundation of who Ryu Tatsuya was would always remain the same.

'Let me find somewhere to stay and consolidate some things. I probably don't have much time, so we'll have to see what my Spacetime Soul Nature can do about this.

'I need enough breathing room to complete the formation of my new [Immortal Sakura] technique. Exposing [A God's Brush] today probably didn't do me any favors even if I didn't use its full power, and it's also about time I create another technique for myself.

'Close Combat gives me both endless flexibility, but it also limits my fire power somewhat. I need to shore up on this front by either adding more flexibility or enhancing my lethality… or both.'

Ryu thought to himself as he moved, not knowing what was happening on the other side of the rainbow screen.

Commander Tiger kneeled down on a single leg before a figure of impossibly large stature.

The man was at least a hundred meters tall, and sitting on a throne that was worthy of his status. His beard and hair seemed to be formed of flaming clouds, his eyes carrying a dense storminess.

He was covered from head to toe in a resplendent crimson aura, so it was impossible to tell which of his limbs or body parts had been replaced by flames, nor did it seem to matter.

This man was known as the Fiendish Dao God, Dao God Cloudfire. It was even said that his Dao Title wasn't this, but was rather hidden, as many didn't dare to speak it.

The last person who had erupted into a bursting flame, having their very soul burnt to the roots, and destroying their chances at Reincarnation.

It was also this Dao God Cloudfire that had called for the end of the battle. And likewise, it was all too obvious why Commander Tiger was called here. It was the collapse of his vanguard that led to their losses today.

The Dao Gods didn't usually pay attention to such battles, but after sensing the fall of the two Dao Lords, they had no choice to.

It could be said that on a battle of this scale, the Dao Lords were the true backbones. Dao Gods wouldn't easily take action, and only when Dao Sovereigns like Commander Tiger were being punished would Dao Sovereigns appear to obstruct them.

Most Commanders were Dao Lords, and as such, their deaths usually weighed the most heavily as they were the perfect balance of powerful, yet also weak enough to be killed.

On top of this, Commander Tiger had crossed the rainbow barrier without permission, which was its own slap to the face of military law and order.

In the end, Commander Tiger could only tell the truth of what happened.

At first, Dao God Cloudfire was furious that Commander Tiger had allowed the vanguard to crumble because he was chasing after a mere True Sky God, but after hearing the rest of the information, his gaze couldn't help but narrow.

"… A Human that can disguise themselves as a Lightning Elemental Fiend?"

This information… was quite… something.

It wasn't like there weren't others that could do it, but the problem was that Ryu's actions made no sense… unless he had already accomplished something big?

Why would a spy expose themselves when it was entirely unnecessary? From what it seemed, Ryu's actions were the pinnacle of foolishness.

The only explanation to the Dao God seemed to be that there was something going on that they weren't aware of.

It was then that his eyes narrowed. "Peak Founding Dao?"
