Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 1888  I Hate This Guy

Usually, powerful cultivators would have some sort of memento in their Clan to mark whether they were alive or dead. However, not only was it very difficult for a Dao God to create one themselves due to their power, but it was also a bit of a taboo, at least in this world.

Dao Gods were exactly that, Gods. Why would they allow themselves to be blasphemed as though mere mortals had the right to check up on their life and death? For all intents and purposes, they were true immortals and wanted to be treated as such. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ironically, that was precisely what would put the Real Plane in a bind. Not only had they lost a Middle Dao God, but they had also lost two Lower Dao Gods on top of that. This was a devastating blow for the Real Plane, even if the Fiends didn\'t end up with the Holy World, let alone the fact that they knew they were very soon going to be able to benefit from it.

Still, the Fiends didn\'t show any sign of complacency. They left layers of formations, formed a net for scouting and ensuring that anyone who came close would be noticed ahead of time, and they even had two Middle Dao Gods on the scene. If they could have gotten away with it, they would have sent Higher or even Peak Dao Gods. But the problem was that most were on important missions or taking up posts in the few God Grade Holy Worlds. Those were the worlds that neither side could ever accept losing, and it was also the reason why Higher and Peak Dao Gods rarely appeared.

That, however, was another point in favor of Tyroth and Thaldorin because what was true for the Fiends was also true of them. For all intents and purposes, they were the most powerful force that could appear here. They were ready for anything.

And that was when the world suddenly shuddered. The first thing they felt was a change to the rainbow wall. It actually dimmed and then receded by several paces. Given how large the rainbow wall was, in order for it to noticeably move back, it had to be a distance of at least hundreds of kilometers.

As expected, the landscape that should have been on the Chaos Plane\'s side was revealed to them, and the expressions of the two Dao Gods couldn\'t help but change. Hidden in the shadows, Iam\'s eyes narrowed. He realized immediately that something had gone wrong, but he didn\'t know exactly what it was just yet. There was no doubt that this issue was related to the Shrine, but he also didn\'t believe that it was possible for Ryu to destroy it with his strength. Realizing this, he still kept a great deal of his calm.

Even a damaged Shrine was beyond the means of a True Sky God to destroy. So long as the Shrine was still around, the situation was more than manageable. However, just then, the situation changed again. A pillar connected the bottom of the fathomless abyss and the skies, shimmering with a bright golden light. This caught everyone off guard once again. Wasn\'t this the sign for a world being conquered? How was that possible?

The two Middle Dao Gods only had a little understanding of what was happening, so though they were shocked, they felt that maybe this was what was supposed to happen. If everything was concluded, that was even better. The Real Plane would lose three Dao Gods, including a Middle one, and the Chaos Plane would gain a perfect Shrine along with what remained of the Perfect Grade World. Soon, the Real Plane would be finished.

However, right then, three figures were spit out. Kira, Adlael, and a certain three-pupiled young lady were all hurled away and stumbled to the ground. They barely managed to catch themselves before hitting the dirt before they looked back toward the pillar with ugly expressions. Ryu appeared suddenly, high in the skies, basking in the light of the pillar. He raised his head and roared to the skies.

To the Dao Gods, this voice should have lacked any power at all. And yet, for some reason, they felt a cold shiver down their spines. This roar didn\'t contain the slightest hint of power, but it held a powerful sort of conviction. Ryu wasn\'t happy about his success, but rather that he had alleviated his wife of a burden. What could make a man happier than doing right by his woman?

And this time, it didn\'t even take a week. Not only had he overturned the situation in the Beast Domain, he had taken away a Shrine from the Chaos Plane, pushed back their rainbow wall, and…

A flood of Faith soared, rushing toward Ryu. The amount was far greater than what should have come from a Perfect Grade World, likely because of the implications of this world alone. Ryu saw through it for what it was and didn\'t resist it at all. He could even actively feel his Mysteries of Heaven and Earth Pupils soaring through the rankings, reaching the top 10 of this world in a single blink. Ryu\'s aura soared and dense light, ice, and darkness swirled in his eyes. For a moment, he felt like everything was sitting in the palm of his hands, and it truly felt great.

But that feeling was soon overwhelmed by thoughts of danger. The first thing Ryu saw were the three youths that had been spit out of the world before he had been. But he directly ignored them, looking into the distance to see that he was completely surrounded by Fiends. On top of that, he could feel another pair of eyes on him. He didn\'t know where it was coming from, and even his eyes couldn\'t seem to find where it was, but…

Ryu grinned. "Seems like a lot of people are angry."

BOOM! A violent aura pressed down on Ryu from above and looked like it was about to completely destroy him. Unfortunately, that person was still a bit too eager. The blessings weren\'t over just yet. Even a Dao God had no right to interfere… or, at the very least, not Dao Gods of this level. Ryu clicked his tongue. Maybe he shouldn\'t be too eager to antagonize these guys. It seems that Fiends don\'t have the best temper. However, he was Ryu, how could he not?

He looked over toward Tyroth, a playful smile on his face. "A little stupid, now aren\'t we? Even if this wall of Blessings disappears, don\'t you know that I have your Shrine?"

The eyes of the Middle Dao Gods widened and Iam\'s own constricted. The latter felt that he had experienced more emotions today than he had in the last several tens of thousands of years. Could so many years of planning really be ruined by one Ryu?

It had to be remembered that the Beast Domain had been this way for an impossibly long time, so much so that it was just the normal status quo for those of this world. There were even several Dao God Beasts that had been born in this time. For a single Ryu to undo all of that in the matter of days… Well, it was shocking. Even Ailsa didn\'t expect this, or else she wouldn\'t have given him a ten-year deadline.

"Seems I have your attention," Ryu nodded, but the Dao Gods didn\'t speak. They were in part wary of exposing anything else, and another part disdainful to speak to someone who was so pitifully weak. Even Dao Sovereigns weren\'t worth their attention, let alone Ryu.

That said, Ryu didn\'t need them to speak. This was his stage. "Good. Now that I have your attention, we can make something clear. You might think that I have no ability to destroy this Shrine, but…"

The imposter Shrine shook in Ryu\'s Inner World and suddenly appeared behind his head. It moved around with his will, shrank down to the size of his palm, and then vanished. "Do you really want to test that?"

This time, Iam truly couldn\'t remain calm. He had been among those that felt that it was impossible for Ryu to be capable of this. However, controlling the Shrine was even more shocking than destroying it. How was that even possible?

"All I\'ve done this time is remove the Shrine from your little array. But… I could erase it entirely. Or, I could add it back and then use it to start a chain reaction. I wonder what would happen if a Shrine in your array suddenly suffered a bit of backlash? Would you end up with dozens of damaged Shrines instead of just one? Want to find out?"

Ryu smiled a handsome smile. He didn\'t seem bothered by anything at all. It was almost as though he would be fine even if he was the center of the world\'s attention. No... it was almost like he preferred it to be exactly that way. …

In the distance, Ianjor and Lu\'card looked toward one another.

"I hate this guy." They said at the same time.
