Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 1946 Cleared

Little Silk cut across the skies, leaving trails of fluttering crystals in her wake.

In these years, the always-sleeping butterfly had obviously finished her evolution into Sovereign Beastdom.

It was quite funny in Ryu's opinion. This little guy got a boon from his mother and had been on a rapid pace of evolution for as long as Ryu had known her. But she spent most of that time asleep in her little cocoon, not helping much at all.

Ryu had a feeling that that would change after she truly became a God Beast. Only then would things truly change.

Little Silk was just a small creature without a significant bloodline. In a lot of ways, she was quite like the beasts of this world, forging her own path forward. She had managed to reach the Eleventh Order on the Shrine Plane all on her own despite not having a significant background.

After a boost from his mother, something that Ryu still hadn't quite studied all that closely, she managed to take her billions of years of experience and condense it, using it to breakthrough barrier after barrier.

While it seemed like this little guy was just freeloading most of the time, at the very least, while she was awake, she was quite useful.

By now, it had already been a couple decades since she last woke up and Ryu couldn't help but wonder when she would enter her last stage of evolution. And at the same time, he couldn't help but think about Nemesis, Little Gem, and Little Rock.

It had been so long since he had seen any of them. He wondered if they met again today if their relationship would still be so close.

He hadn't ever been worried about such a thing before, but if that could happen even with his own wife, what of a few beast companions had known for a fraction of the time they've been alive?

Nemesis was stuck with that disgusting example of a man. Little Gem was apparently taken away by a Griffin Clan in this region of Existence, and as for Little Rock... he honestly didn't know.

Ailsa had never mentioned Little Rock. For all he knew Little Rock was either dead, or maybe had ended up wherever Yaana was.

Ryu hoped that Yaana had such a companion by her side. The fact that Ailsa had never mentioned Yaana once made him realize that they were certainly not together... and if there was one person he wasn't worried about turning their backs on him, it was Yaana.

Yaana and Ailsa were simply different people. At the same time... he had spent far more time with Yaana.

She had watched him grow up, and those memories from her first life should have long since come back.

In fact, they had grown up together across not one lifetime, but two... first as Nuri, and then as Yaana.

For the first time in a long while, Ryu smiled... genuinely. He didn't find himself having to fake it as he thought of that adorable little half-Facric who would get embarrassed about the slightest thing.

He should have been able to use his [Third Perspective] to find her. At the very least, he had tried.... and tried... and tried...

But he couldn't even form the connection.

All he had managed to do was confirm that she was alive. As for where she was, he couldn't even pinpoint a direction.

He was still too weak.

Ryu looked into the skies in a bit of a daze. He needed to be faster. And anyone who stood in his way would feel his wrath.

SHUUU!

Little Silk cut through the air and suddenly appeared high above what looked like an encampment. However, this encampment, as always, was split into two fields, one manned by the Fiends and the other by the Fey.

The Holy World was one with an Omniscient Grade and it had a Fire and Wind affinity.

Ryu landed on the ground, a chilling wind spreading out in all directions. The heat was a bother to Little Silk, so she didn't bother to hide her aura, masking herself in cold to avoid the discomfort.

A member of the Sun Clan Fey's suddenly appeared before Ryu and his companion, a Sovereign with a powerful momentum. Compared to the other Sovereigns that Ryu had met in this world, he was very clearly on an entirely different level. It went to show that while battling across levels wasn't a problem in this world, it was also a matter of who you were coming across.

Because this world only had a single plane, all those of great, mediocre, and poor talent were gathered on the same place and co-mingled far easier than they would in Sacrum or in the True Martial World.

As such, battling across levels was much more common in this place. It would only be impressive if your opponent was an acknowledged genius.

Even so... Ryu hardly acknowledged the man. He gave him a nod and then took out an order.

The expression of the Fey man somewhat changed when he read this, then became a bit ugly.

He was about to open his mouth to say something that would delay Ryu while he went to report this, however it was already too late.

Ryu had, at some unknown point, vanished from Little Silk's back. And because he was masked by her Sovereign aura, even if the Fey man had sensed him, it would have changed a single thing.

It could be said that the only reason the man was respectful in the first place instead of shooting Ryu from the skies was because of the power of this beast. And now...

Ryu entered the world of Fire and Wind, scanning the region with a light of indifference in his eyes. 'Let's end this quickly!

Ryu began a blazing trail through the world, erupting across settlement after settlement and destroying everything he came across.

Not a single Fiend survived, and those Fey that stood in his way were crushed just as unreservedly. It was not even more than a few hours before he found himself at the final city, standing high in the skies with hardly a bead of sweat on his face. He hadn't relied on anything other than his powerful body the entire time, knowing that he still wasn't in a position to use his Chaos Qi out in the open. Unfortunately, Hrakka had lagged too far beyond him, and while her depth had been well-excavated by now, and she had entered the Perfect Sky God Realm, she was still a bit away from the Transcended Realm and as such couldn't be the cover Ryu needed to use his Chaos Qi.

This seemed odd, honestly. Hrakka was a genius in her own right and 26 years should have been more than enough to make it to the Omniscient Realm. After all, not everyone had a Founding Dao

like Ryu did.

And that was part of the problem.

Ryu was trying to pull out far more of her potential. As far as he was concerned, her former Dao was too weak. If she wanted to stay by his side, whether it was her or Empana, they both needed farn/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

more.

The fact that she had even progressed from the True Sky God Realm to the Perfect Sky God Realm only meant one thing...

She had reached the depth Ryu needed her to.

As for her next breakthroughs, that would be up to her. Once Ryu was finished here, it would concoct some pills precisely for her.

But for now...

A young Fiend blazing in flames and another wreathed in a volatile hurricane suddenly appeared in

the skies.

Ryu had almost carelessly learned about them on his way here. They were geniuses that were known as Sub-Heavens, existences that had a chance to enter the Heaven Rankings once they reached the pinnacle of the Omniscient Realm, but hadn't just yet.

That said... the Heaven Ranking was a ranking that incorporated the Perfect, Transcended and Omniscient Realms. So in Ryu's opinion, any genius not worthy of making it on while they were still in the Perfect Realm was an ant in his eyes.

A Sub-Heaven after already entering the Omniscient. Realm?

That was all the more pathetic.

Ryu took a step forward and his palm almost pattered the air. It was a light tap, but the fact there was

a sound at all made the expressions of the two Fiends change.

How could he make such a light gesture cause any sound to echo at all?

BANG!

It was already too late to react by the time they had these thoughts.

A palm suddenly grew and a violent Vital Qi filled the skies as it was suddenly transported across

space and seemingly even time.

The winds and the bounds of reality fought back against this palm fiercely, outlining its once invisible edges in a stormy force...

And then both Fiends were pressed into the city beneath them.

A pillar of light broke through the skies beneath disbelieving eyes.

Holy World of Wind and Fire...

Cleared.
