Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 1128 Divide

1128 Divide

If he had a powerful Bloodline, a powerful Mental Realm, and a powerful Dao, could it just ben then that his other tree Pillars were so piss poor that they dragged him down to such an extent? The more Mae thought about it, the more this seemed to make sense. In fact, even Ryu was beginning to think that this was true, the only difference was that he didn't add his Meridians into the mix.

Maybe Ryu's weakest talent currently was his Bone Structure. It was only at the Ancestral Grade, a level that was around the Fourth Heaven in quality. Although it had been mutated by his Bloodlines and the formation of his Spirit Bodies, it was still only a minor step beyond that.

It was very possible that the Dao Lord didn't like this weakness and wanted to pick out a genius who was almost perfect in every aspect. But Ryu didn't believe that everyone around him was so perfect, they definitely had weaker talents, and there were probably some with talents even weaker than the Ancestral Grade.

But that then led to Ryu's Spiritual Foundation. Ryu still didn't know what grade it was, but for all he knew, it was trash.

The Pheonix Sky God was, ultimately, a Sky God of Sacrum. Ryu had been able to fight Sky Gods of Sacrum without even stepping into the Path Extinction Realm.

Ryu had always thought that the Pheoenix Sky God was more special because they were so mysterious, he had even thought that the Phoenix Sky God might have come to the Trtue Martial World long ago, but what if... he had been wrong all along?

What if the mystery of the Pheoenix Sky God ended in Sacrum and this so-called mysterious figure was only somewhat powerful in their middle grade world? If that was the case, the Spiritual Foundation in his body now was worse than trash.

When Ryu got here, he struggled even against Common Grade beasts. There was a chance, then, that the Phoenix Sky God's Spiritual Foundation wasn't even good enough to be considered common in this place. If the Dao Lord was seeing that, then maybe he had the right to be so disdainful.

The Spiritual Foundation was arguably even more important than the Dao. Its true importance began to shine through the moment one entered the Dao Pedestal Realm.

It was the foundation upon which your Cosmic Seeds were planted, it was the foundation that decided the size of your World Sea, it was the foundation upon which your Godhood was built and nurtured! Without it, one couldn't even begin their path of cultivation!

If Ryu's Spiritual Foundation was considered to be so substandard, then ther ewas a very real chance he would never be able to enter the Sky God Realm to make full use of his Doa in the first place. Those with exceptionally poor Spiritual Foundations would find it difficult to even cultivate in the Dao Pedestal Realm, let alone make it beyond.

Until now, all of the cultivation Realms Ryu had passed relide heavily on his will power or his Meridians.

The Awakening Realm was his will, the Pulse Opening Realm, the Qi Refinement Realm, were both his Meridians, he skipped over the Spiritual Severing Realm entirely, and then the Divine Vessel Realm, Connecting Heaven Realm and the Immortal Ring Realm all placed great pressure on his Meridians, while finally, the Path Extinction Realm relied entirely on his comprehension.

And now he was at a crossroads. He was finally at the border of a Cultivation Realm he couldn't will his way through, think his way through, or rely on his Meridians to wade through.

And the Dao Lord knew that.

BANG!

Ryu's upper robes shredded to pieces, being blasted away by the pressure. It was only now that those sneering within their hearts gained themselves a visual representation of the kind of pressure Ryu was actually experiencing, and it was enough to make their pupils constrict into pinholes.

The worry in Mae's eyes became deeper.

This was just how Fate worked sometimes. Ryu had done well to come this far, even competing with them despite being from a smaller world. Most wouldn't even be able to make it in the First Heaven, let alone make it to this point to compete against geniuses of the Fourth and Fifth Heaven.

Mae knew that she should feel disappointed that she had given her first time to a man with limited potential, but she couldn't bring herself to feel that way. Those that knew her knew that she wasn't exactly a sympathetic or soft hearted person, but Ryu had thoroughly conquered her, it was already to late to take a step back.

Worse come to worst, she would bear the burden herself.

CRACK!

Ryu's body was under such enormous pressure that he had no choice but to grasp his great swordstaffs in his hands to prevent them from sinking to the ground below. However, even as he did so, a deep crack appeared in his mask while his blades trembled.

It seemed that even his personal items wouldn't be left alone. If not for the high grade of the golden moon world ring on his finger, it would be on the verge of collapse.

Ryu's steps came to a pause. His muscles spasmed, flexing and unflexing as they bore the brunt of the pressure. He seemed to have reached the end of his rope.

By this point, he had already taken the lead into first place and was even on the verge of leaving the others behind, but it seemed as though this Dao Lord refused to allow him to take even a single other step forward.

Ryu gripped his fists, his polearms creaking in his palms.

From this vantage point, all others could see his tall and straight back. He was a single solitary figure, looking up toward the insurmountable might of a Dao Lord.

Vie and Akura sneered. What was glaring going to do to help? Even Zed snorted. If he was Ryu, he would have just turned back and started collecting other inheritance to bolster his strength, maybe in the future he would be able to find a lucky opportunity to make this Dao Lord regret his choice.

However, Ryu didn't do this. In fact, he suddenly began to laugh, the thunderous booming of his voice causing the hearts of those who heard it to quake.

When his laughter came to a stop, his torso burst with a rain of blood and several of his radient sapphire scales fell to the ground. Even so, his gaze sharpened as they glowed with a bilding light.

His eight trigram diagram rotated to life and his chest expanded a size. It no longer glowed with a jade-like and ancient green light. No, it pulsed with a radient gold, and seemingly having transcended beyond something.

''DIVIDE.''

He was Ryu Tatsuya. He could split even the tribulation of the Heavens. Why would he fear the mere incarnation of a Dao Lord?

Like a raging sea, the pressure falling like a tsunami toward Ryu was split in two.

He took a step forward and appeared dozens of kilometers ahead, reaching out with his claw and shattering another inheritance.
