Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

1789 Old Dog

Ryu cut through space and appeared before the barrier of light in an instant. The change was so quick that even the thorny Commander couldn't react in time.

Commander Tiger had also stopped paying attention to the battle as well. Ryu had noticed from the beginning that after the first half hour or so, he had disregarded everything to kill the Sovereign he was facing.

From observing his actions over an extended period of time, Ryu was certain that whatever punishment the Sovereign was facing could be weakened the more Sovereigns he killed. He had been lucky to run into such a weak Sovereign today, so he wanted to take advantage.

Even though he was suppressing the Sovereign though, such existences were not easy to kill. It wasn't uncommon for battles to go on for months or years between such powerhouses. But Commander Tiger knew that he had three days at most before a ceasefire was called, so he was being far more forceful.

Thanks to Ryu handling the situation on the ground, he paid even less attention than he usually did. As for the thorny Commander, she had been so pissed off by what she was seeing she focused less attention only to stop herself from raging.

Neither of them expected that Ryu would suddenly take such action.

He pierced through the veil and triggered his SpacetSoul Nature to the greatest degree and crashed into the barrier.

Ryu felt sresistance and his eyes narrowed. If he was delayed for too long, he would be screwed. However, he had also been studying this barrier for the last several hours.

His aura changed, and his Cosmos Fog flickered. In an instant, he phased through, vanishing.

The eyes of several individuals widened. Even a few Dao Lords on the side of the Real Plane were astonished by what had just happened.

"STOP HIM!"

…

Ryu landed on the other side, and for the first time, he could see what was happening. When he saw the sight, though, he couldn't help but chuckle bitterly.

He knew that this would happen, but it was still a bit surreal to see it.

Before him, a line of battalions stretched as far as the eye could see. Even the weakest were Commanded by Omniscient Sky Gods, while the strongest were commanded by Dao Lords.

'Crossing this border is really not going to be easy.'

There was nowhere to hide.

The good news was that Ryu had already dispelled his Fiend transformation. In order to cross alone, he had to prove him to be of the Real Plane.

The bad news was that the optics of this situation were impossible.

Just holding his hands up and saying that he was human wasn't enough.

What would anyone think when they saw him?

Defector!

Ryu sighed.

Would they capture a defector? Of course not. They would likely kill him on the spot.

Ryu cursed under his breath as several murderous intents landed on him.

He knew that this was the most likely outcome, so he had obviously cprepared as well.

As for how he had cprepared.

BOOM!

Commander Tiger furiously shattered a path out of the rainbow screen. He looked down and right at Ryu, but confusion colored his face as he didn't recognize the young man below.

"Old dog, I just killed a few Fire Fiends. Do you have to be so enraged?"

At that moment, the expressions of the Real Plane army changed.

Defecting was one matter. But a True Sky God being chased by a Sovereign was a completely different matter entirely. What did they expect him to do? Hold the line and die?

Hearing how Ryu scolded Commander Tiger, though, they were shocked. But soon they understood.

In the face of death, there were only really two things you could do.

Either you just gave in or you cursed to your last breath. At the very least, doing the second meant you had more heart.

At that moment, just when everyone thought that Ryu would die, the Fey Sovereign dove back to the other side as well.

No longer as suppressed by the Chaos Plane, they erupted with power and launched several violent attacks against Commander Tiger.

Commander Tiger began to show a devastating prowess as he went all out. But that didn't stop him from shooting several plumes of fire at Ryu.

Ryu chuckled.

The distance between them was quite far. The duo Sovereigns were battling thousands of kilometers in the air so as not to affect the landscape below.

Having gone so high precisely for the purpose of not killing off "weaklings" like Ryu, Commander Tiger would be hard pressed to do anything.

Of course, if a Sovereign wanted to kill a mere True Sky God across thousands of kilometers, it was as easy as flipping over a palm.

The trouble was that Ryu wasn't just any old True Sky God.

'Tto put on an act.'

Ryu was engulfed by the flames.

'What weak flames,' he chuckled to himself.

The ground exploded, and earth flew wildly.

In order to continue his battle, Commander Tiger had no choice but to only send out a casual plof fire. This alone should have been more than enough to deal with Ryu.

Unfortunately for him, Ryu had a Fire Spirit Body and the Rebirth Flame. If Commander Tiger had been able to add even the slightest sliver of Sovereign Qi, Ryu would have truly been screwed. But because he was in the middle of a battle, diverting his qi for the likes of Ryu simply wasn't worth it.

Ryu vanished into a fland joined in with the spurts of fire.

He soared through the air and over the army as though he were just another aftershock of Commander Tiger's attack.

At the stime, Ryu touched on the Unbalance Art Sect's formation, pulling on his Cosmos Fog and shrouding his presence completely.

'This will be dangerous.'

As Ryu soared over the army, he felt several armies lock onto him.

It wasn't because they had noticed him, but rather if they allowed the attack of a Dao Sovereign to land in the army, what kind of destruction would it cause?

Ironically, this was probably the most dangerous part of his plan.
