Grand Ancestral Bloodlines-Novel

Ryu punched down. He didn't seem to use much strength in it at all, but what the world didn't know was that this inconspicous blue steel glove carried with it the concentrated power of a lightning whip capable of making the skies tremble with roars.

BOOM!

Theris watched in horror as his great sword shattered into pieces. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. That was an Ancestral Grade weapon, it had been by his side for countless years and it was the companion he trusted the most. And yet...

Theris crashed into the ground, his body becoming riddle with the holes of his own weapon. If not for his vitality as a World Sea Realm expert, he would have died directly on the spot.

BANG!

Ryu fell down from the skies heavily, slamming a foot into Theris' ribcage and shattering his heart to pieces.

Even as Theris breathed his last breaths, Ryu used his claw to pick him up by the neck, looking into his eyes as they slowly lost their luster.

''The Radient Star Sect isn't something trash like you can stand up to. Remember that in your next life,'' Ryu said coldly.

These were words that only Theris could hear, but the moment he heard them, he felt the shredded pieces of his heart palpitate, rushing him even closer to his death. He didn't need to hear anything else to know that this man was actually the very same man he had been looking for all these months, the same man that he thought had been hiding from his justice so he had instead chosen to target the other sect members.

He never knew that would be the worst misatake of his lifetime. And now... he was dead for it.

Ryu's claw squeezed and Theris' head and neck shattered into countless little gory pieces. With a wave of his hand, the blood that would have coated him was fried by his lightning and didn't manage to leave even a single speck on his white and sky blue robes.

Ryu turned back and with a step, he vanished into the wind, appearing back where the crowd had been. Even though they were all great geniuses to make it to this point, none of them dared to even breathe too loudly.

With a single sweep of the crowd, Ryu suddenly pierced out with his finger several times. Everywhere he passed by, another arc of lightning would flash through the skies and another member of the Demonic Flame Sect found themselves dead.

The crowd, who thought that Ryu just wanted them to scram, turned tail and ran, hoping that they wouldn't be among the number of the fallen. Even so, none realized that if ryu wanted you dead, there was nothing you could do, and if he didn't care to take your life, then there was no point in running to begin with.

Ryu turned his attention to the enormous glass orb. Unsurprisingly, being an inheritance that both Enren and Theris were interested in, it was likewise an inheritance that spoke to them both. This was a sword inheritance and the first weapon inheritance that Ryu had come across.

Ryu reached forward with his claw, dancing lights of sword qi forming that shattered the glass orb to pieces the moment he gave it just the slightest nudge. Then, the core information of the inheritance rushed into Ryu's mind as he stood in silence for a time. Soon, he opened his eyes and nodded. This was, indeed, not a bad inheritance.Follow current s on novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ

Given the scale of Ryu's battles, his Dao charm techniques were already becoming a bit useless. This was only to be expected. After all, his Dao Charm techniques were all of the Heaven Grade, but he was just a half-steå away from being able to use Mystical Grade techniques.

Of course, for anyone else, Ryu's thoughts would be ridiculous. After all, for many, having a Dao Charm technique a step below your best was already excellet. Back then, even the geniuses of the Second and Third Heaven who were long since at the World Sea Realm were still using Heaven Grade Dao Charm techniques.

Still, Ryu's scope was far higher than these individuals. He wouldn't allow himself to fall behind in such a way.

This sword inheritance, as a result, was actually not bad. It had an evolving Dao Charm technique that could be used from the Common Grade, all the way up to the Ancestral Grade. Beyond that, for most, unless you formed a very similar Dao to its creator, it would be difficult to use the true Dao Manipulation techniques found within. But for Ryu, mimicking the core of others Daos was only a matter of time and effort, he wouldn't have to abandon his path to follow this one.

''Storm Sword Dao. This is an absolutely perfect match for my Wind and Lightning Inheritances.''

Ryu shot forward, mulling over the intricacies of the inheritance. If he could find a bowman's inheritance that meshed perfectly with what he could use with this identity, then there would be even less of a chance he would hafve to expose himself in the end. That way, he could have his cake and eat it too.

Ryu suddenly felt like he crossed a barrier, his eyes narrowing as his steps slowed somewhat.

The sound of battle reverberated in Ryu's ears as he came to a stop. The number of star roads ahead almost seemed far to numerous and the number of battles happening here seemed to be even more than what was occuring behind him.

Were there really this number of geniuses here? How was that even possible?

Several paths ahead, Aantha was fighting with a bit of irritation on her face. She was being ganged up on by several human women. As she saw it, they were just jealous. How was it her fault that she was prettier than them? And okay, maybe it was poor form to make their boyfriends all googly over her, but she couldn't help that either, she just had natural charm.

Aantha's gaze suddenly landed on Ryu who was standing in silence. She didn't recognize him immediately with his silver mask on, but when she tilted her nose up to the sky, she smelled a familiar scent.

''Brother-in-law! I'm being bullied!''

Ryu speechlessly turned his head towards Aantha's direction.
