Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Seeing the kind of strength his Rage Flame could produce, Ryu was quite excited to see what his other talents and qis could do, but he was very quickly disappointed. This was when he learned that the [Unbalance Mantra] had great effects on certain types of energies and techniques, but not necessarily them all. Or at the very least, the current level that Ryu could use them to limited things.

Other than making his other talents somewhat more unpredictable, Ryu didn't notice any changes, until he tested the violet lightning flame.

Ryu's violet lightning flame was a fusion of his Tribulation Lightning and his Rage Flames. After his comprehensions had reached a certain level, he gained the ability to separate them at will, something that was good because his violet lightning flame was far too power to be casually. It was by far Ryu's most potent attack, and after seeing the changes to his Rage Flame, its current strength was beyond his imagination.

Interesting enough, though, what shocked Ryu was necessarily his violet lightning flame itself, but rather the fusion process. While Ryu was casually fusing them, he felt that the [Unbalance Mantra] was trying to make its impact felt, and that was when Ryu's pupils constricted.

Ryu didn't need the [Unbalance Mantra] to help him to fuse his Rage Flames and Tribulation Lightning, so why was it acting? Unless…?

Ryu's mind jumped to a thought and his immediately dispersed his violet lightning flame. In one hand, he formed a dancing black-red flame, his Rage Flames, and in the other, he balance a small orb of blue-gold water, his Flowing Frost Yin Water.

As of now, he had weakened them both to an extreme. However, even so, the power they exuded was mighty. One wanted to freeze the world entirely and the other want to raze it to the ground. One wanted to flood the world with life and the other wanted to destroy ever fiber of it.

They were two completely opposing and almost disastrously different energies. And yet… Ryu slowly brought them together.

Ryu watched as the orb of blue-gold and the flickering flame of black-red fused together into one. However, rather than exploding like he thought might happen, they seamlessly melded into one another, dancing with a rainbow of colors that made one's heart palpitate.

Ryu's just steeled and he tossed the orbs dancing with a dark gold violet light. However, he was entirely unprepared for what happened next.

BOOM!

The explosion was deafening. After the first impact, all Ryu could hear was a hollow ring in his ear.

Space warped and twisted, a wide explosion forming before it suddenly shrunk down into a singularity, swallowing up everything before vanishing.

When everything cleared, Ryu's pupils could only shrink into pinholes.

Right there, in the location he had tossed the fusion, there was a semi-spherical hole with a surface as smooth as mirrors. It was only two meters across while being only about a meter deep, and didn't seem to effect anything else around it, but the fluctuations of wild space within it were enough to make even Ryu's heart palpitate despite his Soul Nature.

This region that he and Mae weren't able to leave a scratch on during their battle was actually blown to bits. If not for the sudden warp in space and the singularity that formed, the destruction would have been thousands of times worse without a doubt, even Ryu himself would have been implicated.

Of course, Ryu had contained the explosion in layers of space which was likely why the singularity formed to begin with, and this was also why the explosion didn't disturb Mae, but the result… That was just his Yin Water and Rage Flame at their lowest setting! What if he went all out?!

The [Unbalance Mantra]… It could allow Ryu to break the rules, fusing two substances that would never fuse normal… And once he released the Unbalance shackles on it and forced it back into the real world, the results of the separation would be devastating.

But even so, Ryu wasn't the most excited about this. While it was a powerful attack, yes, he would most be restricted to using normal fire and water qi in battle as he couldn't expose his true talent unless he absolutely had to. While this fusion would likely still be powerful, Ryu highly doubted that it would be as powerful as the Yin Water of a Perfect Sky God and the Rage Flames of the Dragon Race.

What Ryu was most excited about was fusing his qi with his spatial qi… and maybe even his time qi when he was really pushed up against it.

Until now, Ryu could only apply his spatial qi after the fact. While the effects were still good, they were limited and not nearly unpredictable enough. But what if he could fuse his spatial qi with his with his other energies? Just what kind of effect would that have?

And… What if he could apply the same void breaking prowess to his other qis as well? Just what kind of monster would he become?

Ryu's head danced with thoughts before he exhaled a breath, looking down at the other two jades in his hands. If the [Unbalance Mantra] alone could have such power, what if it was properly fused with the other two? Just what kind of strength would he be able to unelash?

In reality, while the [Unbalance Mantra] seemed ridiculously powerful, the reality was that it was reliant on Ryu's foundation. If Ryu didn't have Rage Flames, or Yin Water, or a Spacetime Soul Nature, the [Unbalance Mantra] wouldn't be nearly as useful to him.

However, the foundation it laid was exceptional, and if it could have such a powerful foundation, the full extent of its prowess wasn't to be underestimated.

With a thought, Ryu began to look into the calligraphy jade, his mind falling into a deep well of thought as he began to deduce it using his Dividing Chaos Dao.

After several moments, his brow furrowed, a hint of seriousness gracing them.
