Grand Ancestral Bloodlines-Novel

1132 Mutation

Ryu sank into a deep state of meditation, relying on the golden moon world. It was times like these that he missed his Mysteries of Heaven and Earth Pupils the most, but there was nothing he could do about it. Right now, his priority was to retrieve his Spiritual Foundation. As for his eyes, they seemed to naturally grow better as his cultivation increased.

A slight gust of wind rushed around Ryu before it settled in an absolute silence.

The Shadowlight Body required etching tattoos onto ones body. Of course, these tattoos were actually powerful Runes that would cause an effect of tug of war on the body. One would have to both be able to withstand the power of the Rune, while the Rune would likewise fill you with untold power.

Since his technique was created by the Shadowlight Sky God, he didn't get the chance to cultivate it in his youth. There was a qualitative change between the lesser Realms and the Sky God Realms that made re-cultivating impossible after stepping over that threshold. But for his successors, and his Clan and Sect members, the Shadowlight Sky God had still gone to the length of creating the entire technique from the foundation up.

The first Body Realm was the Pulse Tempering Realm, followed by the Vessel Tempering Realm, and then the Blood refinement Realm.

Ryu was currently at the pinnacle of the Vessel Tempering Realm, which was actually part of the reason his body was weak. The pinnacle of the Vessel Tempering Realm was only equivalent to the pinnacle of the Immortal Ring Realm. It wasn't until one entered the beginning of the Blood Refinement Realm that one would be equivalent to the Path Extinction Realm, and it wasn't until the Nine Life Revolutions Realm that one would be equivalent to the World Sea Realm.

For Ryu, going back was all too easy. His Pulses and Vessels were like wide open channels, having been purified by Heavenly Favor long ago. However, his original [Pheoenix Heavenly Body] technique was too weak, and it was part of the reason he hadn't entered the Blood Refinement Realm of the True Martial World just yet.

There was too much potential lingering in his body yet to be unearthed, and a large amount of Heavenly Favor that was still unused. This was very much unlike his Qi Realm where the path he had taken with his Chaotic Silk Meridians couldn't seem to get enough Heavenly Favor.

Luckily, in his greatest time of need, the Shadowlight Sky God passed down his inheritance to Ryu.

The Pulse Tempering Realm and Vessel Tempering Realm chapters were very similar in their requirements, although the latter was far more complicated than the former in what was actually needed in terms of comprehension.

Taking the six Pulses, one would use three to form ever more complex Light Runes and the other three to form ever more complex Darkness Runes. Once they reached a certain level of maturation and one was perpared to enter the Vessel Tempering Realm, one would then force these Runes to resonate using the Runes drwan throughout one's skin and flesh.

The process of forming Runes within one's Pulses would cause one round of power amplification. The process of then resonating them would cause yet another, solidifying one's Rune Tattoos and permanently etching them onto the skin.

This process would be repeated in the Vessel Tempering Realm, this time forming Runes within the Vessels and forcing another resonance. So long as your body could withstand it, your strength would increase by leaps and bounds.

Ryu immediately began to cross reference the Light And Darkness Runes with the knowledge presented to him by the Magus Sky God's Inheritance. Logically speaking, the Light and Darkness Runes of these lesser Realms should be relatively simple, but just at a cursory glance, Ryu could tell that the Shadowlight Sky God had created these Runes only after entering the Sky God Realm himself.

On the good side, these Runes were absolutely perfect according to the standard of these low Realms. On the bad side, they were hyper complex. They were difficult for Ryu to grasp in a short time, let alone a child who was truly at the Pulse Tempering and Vessel Tempering Realm.

The Runes weren't two dimensional like most would be at this level. They were three dimensional and they had complex inner workings layered atop of one another like a series of mazes.

If Ryu stretched out the lines needed to draw out just the first Light Rune, it would stretch out at least 10 meters. This didn't sound like a lot, until you considered the fact the complete Rune was only about two inches tall. The difference was jarring.

Even so, it took Ryu only half an hour to master all of the 12 Light and Darkness Runes. Once he was done, he began to modify them, a process that was far harder on him than even he anticipated.

The idea of complete restricting an Omniscient Sky God magnum opus seemed nice in theory, but actually doing it required a high level of attainments, an exceptionally high level.

Ryu, however, had several exceptional trump cards. The first was his Dao, the second was his Realm Heart, and the final were his references to both the Magus Sky God and Omniscient Sky God's Inheritances.

Both Ryu's Realm Heart and Daos were absolutely perfect within the Immortal Grades, which was just barely good enough to perfect up to the Vessel Tempering Realm and allow a final breakthrough. In addition, if Ryu had to build such a method by himself from scratch, even decades wouldn't be enough. He couldn't see as far as the Omniscient Sky God could and his breadth of knowledge wasn't nearly good enough, but now with the path laid out before him, he could use it as a skeleton to monkey branch off of.ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net .

''First, complete...''

A violent whooshing sound shot out from Ryu's body in all directions. At first glance it seemed like a radiant light, but the undertone was something far heavier, something far more valuable, something far more noble.

Swirling tattoos began to form across Ryu's skin, emitting a deep and dark hue that sometimes pulsed with a radiant gold color.

''Second formed.''

This rushing aura was far more sinister. The oppression of what felt like Chaos Qi, but was somewhat dissimilar to Chaos Qi, rushed through the surroundings, shredding everything apart. A dense aura of destruction wafted from Ryu's body before it condensed and formed thick black and swirling tattoos across his chest, back and even some of his neck.

Then came the third, then the fourth.

Counter-intuitively, Ryu seemed to become faster with every success until he completed the first set of six.

The tattoos across Ryu's body seemed to reflect what was inside him. Roaring dragons, stomping qilins, soaring phoenixes. However they were all suppressed by the Heavens above and Hell below, suffocated in swirls of complex Runes that made it difficult to make out exactly what they were.

Ryu suddenly released a mighty roar, lights of dark gold and white gold shooting out from his body.

At the same time, Ryu's Bone Structure seemed to reply the fiercest, immediately shattering beneath the dual pressures. However, when one saw the look of absolute indifference and calm on Ryu's face, it was clear that he had not only expected this, but he had forced it to happen.

Ryu's greatest weakness was his Bone Structure, but it was also the foundation upon which he had built his [Refinement Sutra] on. If he wanted his Bone Structure to maximize the benefits of the Heavenly Favor he had gathered through the [Refinement Sutra], he needed to destroy it and allow it to rebuild it.

In the past, Ryu's cultivation technique had been far to weak to accomplish this. And although he could have forcefully destroyed it himself, without an appropriate method of building it back up, he would be doing nothing short of crippling himself for no benefit.

But now, he had the perfect technique. The Shadowlight Inheritance didn't just break you down, it used light and shadow to rebuild you, molding you in the form of the Shadowlight.

Ryu, however, wasn't using the Shadowlight to rebuild himself. Instead, he was using Heavenly Chaos. He would reform his body using Essence and Chaos Qi, the Primordial Daos themselves would become his body.

In one instance, you would form the Shadowlight body.

But in the other, you would form the Heavenly Chaos Body.

The difference was more exaggerated than night and day, than the stars and the ground, than Heaven and Earth.

BOOM!

A wild fluctuation shot out in all directions as Ryu's Bone Structure mended itself back together.

At that moment, it could be said that an evolution that had started with his Fire and Lightning Spirit Bodies had completed... Or more accurately, the first step along its path had reached a life altering point.

Having been restructured under a true baptism of Heaven and Chaos, the Ice Jade Crystal Body could no longer be called as such. In fact, Ryu felt that there was only one name appropriate for it now, a name that did this mutation justice.

The Heavenly Chaos Bone Structure.

PN = Pirate note

PN: Yo, Erdiul here, I have to say, I've been copy writing his chapters since panda started having issues, and I've never noticed until writing them myself, his one chapter releases have way more words than his normal two chapters releases. Awespec might be a Web lover, but damn, he sure puts in the grind. I respect that.

Also, please stop pinging me on discord to release the chapters when I'm not online, I will release them when I can, while I can. Remember that I'm doing this out of my own free will, even going far enough to edit mistakes made by the author, editing for free. Cheers!
