Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Ryu slowly opened his eyes, looking high into the skies. He couldn't remember having ever gone through a true Tribulation in his lifetime and honestly... This would really be no different. Streaks of flames descended from the skies. Ryu's body only flickered once and the flames swam over him, being absorbed in one part, and dismissed in another.

He reached out with a hand, causing the dismissed flames to form a long whip that lashed out at the air, shattering the falling meteors of earth apart.

With a squeeze, the whip cracked into pieces of falling rain, drizzling down from the skies in a fluttering descent.

The pieces of the meteors collapsed, crashing down.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The land beneath was devastated, crater after crater ripping it up. It was a harrowing sight, one that told the tale of the power of the Heavens... and yet it highlighted the strength of the young man that stood in the middle of it all, all the more.

Ryu stood from his seated position, taking a step forward.

Whipping winds and howling thunder boomed in a cascade of air and sound attacks. However, the air around him rippled with an odd cadence. The soundwaves dispersed and the wind flew right through his body as though he wasn't standing there again.

He clenched a fist and the wind that should have vanished suddenly gathered at his hand. He pulled back and his aura soared.

He punched out, his power ripping a hole through the Tribulation clouds above. However, the rumbling thunder didn't stop, a violent upsurge rolling through the skies as countless runes and patterns began to reform the Tribulation Clouds with an even more powerful vengeance.

A rainbow of colors flickered. On the one hand, such clouds were absolutely gorgeous. But on the other... it was like watching the Heavens celebrate the end of the world.

The elements began to gather once again, even more powerful than before.

The cycle was relentless. Raging flames, howling winds, streaking bolts, falling meteors.

And Ryu's response was the same every time. He directly ignored the fire, wind, and lightning as though they were made for him. Then he turned the power of the Tribulation against itself, gathering up its power as though it was normal atmospheric qi.

All the while, a swirl of colors pulsed through his veins. The vascularity of his body pumped the gorgeous blood through every ounce of him and he seemed to embody all of his Spirit. Bodies in a moment.

The skies split open like the ocean's waters and a waterfall suddenly formed high above. However, this water didn't fall immediately. Instead, it began to rain.

It was a fantastical sight, and one that looked completely harmless...

Until the first water droplet hit the ground.

BOOM!

The eyes of those spectating widened into a dense horror. How could so much weight be concentrated into such a small droplet? What would happen if-?!

"RUN!"

It was unknown who spoke these words first, but in that same instant, the clouds unleashed a hail of revenge.

It began to storm, the thunderous and booming claps of the Heavens above resonating with the falling rain and enhancing them into a formation that cast a heavy formation over the land.

Everyone's body began to feel heavy. Without a choice, they were forced to use their trump cards to escape further and further away, the horror in their eyes clear.

However, Ryu stood in the midst of it all, almost carelessly holding his hand out as though he was waiting for the first droplets to hit his palm.

And that they did.

DOOM! DOOM! DOOM!

Veins bulged across Ryu's arm, but his hand didn't move in the slightest, holding up the water as it began to pool.

The rain droplets hitting against his skin felt like countless sledgehammers ramming into him, and yet he didn't move the slightest bit.

The rhythm of the Heavens filled with the booms of a bass drum. It echoed through his heart and then suddenly erupted with his aura.

BOOM!

The rain was stopped by a barrier around him, dancing with just the faintest wisps of Infinity Mist. CRACK, CRACK. CRACK.

In one moment, there was a strong rainfall, and in the next, the entire world became one of ice. Trees were encased in a crystalline armor, craters filling up with water iced over, and all the droplets in the sky seemed to freeze in both time and space, their bodies forming into snowflakes that reflected the light of the rainbow clouds above.

It was a gorgeous sight without equal.

Ryu raised up a hand, a line of blood flowing down the corner of his lips, but his indifferent eyes piercing through the secrets of all things.

SHHUUUUUUU!

FAFA! FAFAFAFA!

The water droplets turned sharpened snowflakes suddenly began to accelerate through the skies once more, reversing course and ripping hole after hole through the clouds.

The Tribulation Clouds were destroyed once again and Ryu continued to stand high in the air, his white and sky-blue embroidered robes

fluttering wildly.

Ice coated some of his hair strands, and yet it didn't seem to impact their dancing in the wind at all. He looked high into the skies, clasping his hands behind his back as though he was still waiting for something... and he didn't have to wait very much at all.

The rainbow clouds suddenly split down the middle, one becoming dark cumulonimbus clouds, so dense it felt like blackness itself was invading the land.

On the other sides, it looked as though silky gold strands were being woven through the hands of the Heavens forming golden elends for as far as the world could see

And then both sets of clouds rumbled, turning their rage toward Ryu.

The strands of darkness gathered up and formed black armored knights.

The strands of light did the same, creating an army of gold armored knights. The clanging of armor echoed through the skies as they raised their weapons.

Heaven's Knights.
