Grand Ancestral Bloodlines-Novel

Chapter 1541 Regression Pill

"Oh? Sending forward a True Sky God?"

Ryu couldn't help but laugh. He had been pretty clear about his limits. Although he could kill a True Sky God, he didn't really want to publicize that. But he also didn't believe that these guys would be stupid enough to present their faces to be smacked, so since they had brought forward such a person, they obviously had a plan of their own.

Also, he knew that though they hadn't appeared due to their status, the various Elders along with Aika, Old Wan and Samson were definitely watching this scene. There was a reason that they hadn't launched an all-out attack on the Sect, they didn't dare to. Whatever plan they had would likely not be too out of bounds, and if Ryu was correct, he could already make a guess as to what it was.

Ragash took out a box from his spatial ring and allowed it to fall to the ground. Although he held it casually, the instant it crashed into the ground, the surroundings thousands of kilometers quaked.

BOOM.

Dust kicked up, the earth cracked, and the walls of the Radiant Star Sect shook violently.

Yet, somehow, the box didn't create a sinkhole or anything of the like. It landed on the earth and pushed it down about a centimeter before stopping. It was a truly shocking scene.

Ryu took a seat on the walls, lifting up a knee and resting his chin on a forearm. 'What an interesting material.'

He realized that there was still quite a lot he didn't know. His Dao was responsible for his great skill in Blacksmithing and things of the like, but it was because of that that he no longer did the normal leg-work that others would have to for their Secondary Professions. He wondered how much better he would be if he actually had time to study.

With a click, the box opened and a fragrant aura spread out. However, very quickly, that fragrance tipped over some sort of threshold and it became a bit foul and spoiled. In the end, it almost smelled like milk with a squeeze of lemon.

The more one smelled it, the more uncomfortable you would feel as though something unnatural was going on.

"This is the Regression Pill," Ragash said calmly.

Ryu's gaze narrowed.

The Regression Pill was a pill capable of forcefully lowering one's cultivation level. It wasn't a temporary matter, but rather permanent.

However, there was a great benefit to this.

If Ragash ate it, he could suppress himself back to the False Sky God Realm. When he broke free of the restrictions once more, he would return to the True Sky God Realm, even stronger than he was before. novelenglish.net . (f)ire.ɴet

It was fairly a shocking pill and it could only be crafted by someone with the strength of a path Lord, and yet it could only work on those at and below the True Sky God Realm.

Essentially, it was a Lord Grade Pill only usable by far weaker Sky Gods and it was a chance to essentially reverse time and reform one's foundations. It was a pill of astonishing value, and yet there were very few willing to forge it, and even then fewer who had the skill to do so.

Ryu recognized then how much pressure he had placed on those two Sects and then he laughed internally.

Not only were they giving Ragash a chance to improve, they were also giving him the right to thoroughly suppress Ryu. In addition, they understood it was already impossible to keep Jojo's heart on their side. They knew her character well and there were some things that couldn't be reversed after the milk was spilled.

In that case, the only shot they had was to rebrand and push all of their hope for the younger generation into Ragash.

Of course, they had other talents, how could they not? The trouble was that Ryu had successfully managed to force the main battlefield into this Realm. Although they could attempt to shift the attention again, it would be very difficult. Right now, the entire world seemed focused on the matter of juniors and it consumed their entire world.

This was the only chance they had to reverse the situation.

In addition, this move shut down another matter.

Because of the nature of the Regression Pill, it wasn't something that Ragash could easily reverse on a whim. That meant that Ryu couldn't use the excuse of a clear assassination ploy to pull out of the battle.

If Ragash took a normal suppression-type pill, he could shatter its restriction with just an intention of his will. That way, if he was on the verge of losing to Ryu, he could just break free and even attempt to kill Ryu. Although there would be some loss of face, with Ryu dead, there would be no one left to carry that Faith of the Radiant Star Sect.

"I will take this pill and return to the False Sky God Realm. Do you dare?" Ragash's voice suddenly boomed, a wall of superheated air flooding the atmosphere.

Ryu's lip curled.

The reason Ragash was asking him if he dared was fairly obvious. Even if he returned to the False Sky God Realm, it wouldn't be perfect. He would still have all the insights of the True Sky God Realm. He would probably instantly transform into the strongest False Sky God on the Seventh Heaven.

Even so, his voice had only barely echoed when Ryu appeared before him.

Ragash's gaze narrowed. Ryu actually appeared barely five meters from him when he had yet to even then take the pill? Was he truly so arrogant? Did he not know that he could kill him with a single fist?

Suddenly, Ragash's eyes widened when he noticed that the pill was already in Ryu's hands.

A cold sweat beaded down his brows. When had that happened? How'd he miss it? Was his Space Soul Nature really so powerful?

He wasn't scared of Ryu, but if he lost this pill without using it for its intended purpose, his Sect's path Lord would directly kill him.
