Grand Ancestral Bloodlines-Novel

Ryu coughed violently, shards of blood and bone flying out from his mouth. The pain that wracked his body was on a completely different level than almost anything he had ever experienced before. He felt that if it wasn't for his astounding vitality and the fact he had a Realm Heart, that backlash alone would have been enough to kill him. 

Right this moment, his inner organs were practically unrecognizable, having been shredded to pieces and mixed within his body as though his skin had become some sort of mixing pot of flesh. 

It only made it worse that the shards of his bones had mixed in with it all, becoming like the blades of a blender as they shredded what was in him. In fact, if it wasn't for his nigh indestructible Meridians, let alone killing him, Ryu would have suffered a far worse fate from his perspective… He would have bene directly crippled. 

Despite the pain he was experiencing, a hint of fury lit in Ryu's eyes. 

All his first life, he had been infuriated with the Heavens, believing them to have been unfair to him. Some of that even carried over into his second life as well and he wasn't able to shrug off the anchor such thoughts placed on him until he met Ailsa. 

The current him had not only learned to coexist from the Heavens, but he even willingly learned from it. His angst was nowhere near as furious as it had been in the past and he had even realized that his rage was misplaced. 

This feeling only became clearer as time went on. From the very beginning, it wasn't even the Heavens that had toyed with him like this, it was those people who had their eyes on Sacrum, his home land. His anger should have been aimed toward them from the start. 

Ryu swore that the day he found out who snatched who chained his Spiritual Foundation and forced him to live the life of a cripple, when he met those people who forced his family toward a dead end, separating his parents and killing his grandparents, when he found the people who chained his Perfect Blackbody Soul and restrained his talent was lever at a time… 

He would grant them a life worse than death. 

Ryu coughed, his eyes seeing red. 

At that moment, the Life Character in Ryu's eyes began to pulse with an ancient green color and his Yin Water began to make his presence known. 

Now that Ryu had broken to the pinnacle of the Path Extinction Realm, his Inheritances had likewise broken through entering the Monarch Realm. They all simulatenously took this step forward as one, strengthening his eight trigram diagram and thus its individual pillars as well. Due to this, the power he could use from Flowing Frost's Yin Water was a great deal more and his recovery strength had increased by more than tenfold as well. 

However, even with this being the case, Ryu's recovery was exceptionally slow. It took several days before he could finally move somewhat and more than half a month before he could finally sit up. All the while, Ryu gaze flickered with cold intent. 

Ryu coldly gazed into the distance as though he could see his Spiritual Foundation through the void.  please visit

He forced himself to calm down. Right now, if he wanted to feel rage, he had to let it focus him rather than distract him. So, rather than losing himself entirely, Ryu began to plan out what he would need to recultivate the Path Extinction Realm. 

Although Ryu had broken through, he had yet to saturate his body with the appropriate amount of Heavenly Favor, so he would still need to do this. 

Right now, he would require a large amount of Heaven Grade materials which made this matter a lot more difficult to handle. Doing it once through for the Immortal Ring Realm was quite difficult and most of the six month period Ryu spent was used up on it. One could easily imagine that doing so for the Path Extinction Realm would be even more difficult than that. 

Ryu shook his head, still looking up into the skies. He couldn't quite focus. 

That sudden backlash had knocked him out of his meditative state and now his mind didn't seem to want to focus properly anymore. It also didn't help that simply saying he couldn't allow his rage to cloud his mind wouldn't allow this to magically happen. 

Ryu needed to clear his mind. 

He had never had a problem focusing on cultivation before, but the trouble was that he had cultivated to small a time. And, without his eyes, he couldn't casually slip into states of focus like he could in the past as well, making the problem even worse. 

Shaking his head again, Ryu took a step and appeared outside of the golden moon world ring, his gaze somewhat vacant as he slipped it back onto his finger. 

With another step, he appeared outside of the cave and within the snowy pastures of the region. As he continued to walk slowly, he traversed long distances without much effort at all, and in his silence, he found himself before the large looming mountains of a Sect. 

Ryu looked up, not having come here on purpose at all. In fact, he didn't have a real purpose at all and was rather just walking around to see if he could clear his mind, but to think that he would be sent to this place of all places.  This chapt????r is updat????d by N(o)vᴇl(F)ire

Before Ryu, the gates of the Carving Ice Sect stood. Although it looked normal, it was actually already in a state of high alert, and how could it not be? All of their powerhouses were elsewhere. They had to be careful just in case someone noticed and chose to take this as an opportunity. 

Ryu's gaze was quite dull as he looked forward. It wasn't despair, just boredom. After his walk, he had managed to dispel some of his heightened fury, but the cloud of fogginess over his mind remained. 

He hummed to himself before taking a step and entering the Carving Ice Sect.
