Chapter 1707 Dismember. Horizon.

At some point, Lu'card stopped grumbling entirely. He didn't know where Ryu had gotten his hands on such good stuff, but at least he was showing some real sincerity. At the very least, Ryu didn't seem to be stingy with its use. Whenever he really was at his limit, he would use another.

What was the most shocking to Lu'card was that he could feel his Bloodline returning to its origin. Every drop came with it a deepening of his talent that was astonishing.

He already felt that he was on another level talent-wise, but now he was truly becoming a monster.

Deep into the journey, Lu'card began to wonder about his eyes. Much like Ryu had speculated, he had yet to unseal all 999 seals. In fact, he was still shy of 99, the second watershed.

He had spent most of his time rebuilding his foundation, and for many Heavenly Pupil wielders, reaching 99 unlocked seals was already their limit. He thought he was doing well already.

In truth, many were only slowly coming to the shocking realization that Ryu might have unlocked all 999 of his seals. Although there was some variability, the abilities of the Heavenly Pupils could only be unlocked step by step. It was very rare to unlock [Heaven's Gate] before the 999th seal was undone as it could be considered to be among the most broken abilities of Heavenly Pupils in general.

For Lu'card, his current strongest Heavenly Pupil ability allowed him the manifestation of blackholes. These blackholes could truly unleash carnage onto the world, shredding qi and refining it into one's own strength. It could be considered to be a much higher class of ability compared to the Visualization [Divine Chaotic Annihilation].

However, this blackhole ability was akin to [Lines of Fate] for Ryu. It was the most basic ability of Lu'card Blackhole Pupils, and they didn't even synergize with him very well. That was because he was a Dragon, not a human. He couldn't use qi in the normal sense, so the ability lost all of its offensive characteristics.

So, while this was a huge ability in the hands of a human, for Lu'card, it wasn't.

This wasn't the worst part either, unfortunately.

Aside from [Blackhole], Lu'card had only unlocked one other ability for his Heavenly Pupils, and that was [Mirror World]. If it could be said that Ryu was exceptional at awakening his Heavenly Pupil abilities early, Lu'card was the exact opposite.

Before even undoing a single seal, Ryu already had access to [Third Perspective] and [Lines of Fate]. Lu'card had undone almost 99 and still only had two. He was quite pitiful in this regard, but who asked him to be a beast?

Thinking to this point, Lu'card was actually eager to try, and to his shock, the instant he directed Ryu's next droplet to his eyes, there was a booming change.

First, he almost instantly swept through 99 seals, but before he could even register what ability he unlocked, he felt a slight change.

'No way...'

Embryonic Qi helped your body tend toward perfection. If there was an opening to take, it would dive right in.

It seemed to detect the weakness of Lu'card's eyes instantly and loosened the restrictions on [Blackhole]. At that moment, although he couldn't use the qi, he felt that he could redirect it.

The first method was by turning it into Karmic Qi to fuel his eyes more and the second method was redirecting it into his out Pupil abilities like [Mirror World] that took up a large amount of energy.

This was enough to shock Lu'card, but then he realized he had awakened more abilities and was almost giddy with joy. Every time he undid a seal, he would wait patiently in hopes that a new ability would come to him, only for there to be nothing there. But this time, he had actually awakened two in one go!

[Dismember].

It was an application of [Blackhole] that could be considered to be one of the strongest and more fear-inducing abilities of the Blackhole Heavenly Pupils.

Rather than just manifesting Blackhole as a form of shield or protection, Lu'card could manifest them within an enemy, shredding them apart. It was almost like planting a bomb in the void, and if one's senses weren't sharp enough, they would die even before they knew what happened to them.

[Horizon].

The event horizon of a blackhole was the region where nothing could escape. When this ability was activated, Lu'card could form a force of suction that even those several levels above his own could not withstand. Right now, this ability would work even on a Dao Lord.

If one ignored the fact it would work on a Dao Lord, this would seem like a lackluster ability... until one understood a few things.

First, the target was entirely up to Lu'card choosing. He could even rip the soul out of a target's body if that was what he wanted to do. He could separate out one's Blood Essence by force, or rip their Bone Structures out of their bodies. Even intangible existences without substance could suffer this fate, such as Daos or comprehensions.

Second, while it was much more difficult to use this ability in these ways, what wasn't more difficult was to use clever applications.

Lu'card didn't have to set the target to be forcefully attracted to himself. He could send them flying into a store, or he could cast [Horizon] twice on the body and head off a victim and pull them apart in opposite directions.

The limit was only decided by how sinister the user was, and how powerful the target was.

When Lu'card realized this, he understood that [Horizon] couldn't be limited by just its description alone, by its logic, he could practically use it as an all-encompassing almost telekinesis-like ability!

Lu'card roared into the skies, tens of blackholes forming around him in a shuddering excitement that shredded the Nether Qi in the surroundings apart.

Ryu chuckled beneath his breath, not opening his eyes. He'd like to see if Lu'card would still not be obedient in the future.
