Chapter 1723 Hrakka

Chapter 1723 Hrakka

The flaming giant woman viscerally shook to these words. Fear flickered in her eyes and she looked at Ryu like she was looking at a monster.

There were hardly any Summoning Necromancers left. Even the Arcane Mancer Sect didn't dare to house them. In fact, the only openly Summoning Necromancers in the whole of the True Martial World was in the Devouring Heaven Sect. But that was an anomaly, and no one was even sure if this was true anymore considering how long it had been since this occurred.

The only people with the skill to be Summoning Necromancers were on the Eighth and Ninth Heavens, but that likewise meant that the Demons they would rely upon would have to come from the Eighth and Ninth Planes...

How could the Demon Kings allow that? It would trigger an all-out war. Or at the very least, the perpetrator would be cut down without prejudice.

However, there was no one here to defend her. If Ryu was bringing it up, it meant that he didn't even care to think of releasing her. He was blatantly threatening her, and he didn't care how she felt about it.

This was a huge blow to her gut and she realized that in service of keeping her Dao Heart intact by battling it out with Ryu, she had lost many other ways.

Ryu chuckled. "You don't need to be so reserved. In fact, this could help you out as well. Right now, you're far too weak to be a Summon of mine. You would only hinder me, not help me. So what do you think that means?"

The giant woman trembled, but she didn't say anything. This sounded nice... but didn't that just mean that she would be relentlessly experimented on? What would happen to if Ryu went too far and she ended up dead? Who would seek justice for her?

The answer was obviously no one.

"Go have a sip," Ryu pointed toward the river.

The woman hesitated. She had wanted to do exactly that ever since she was brought in here, but now that Ryu had asked her to, she suddenly didn't want to anymore...

But did her thoughts and opinions even matter in this situation?

She took a breath and bent down, scooping up a handful and swallowing it down.

Ryu watched this with a smile.

In truth, she had wasted much of it. Embryonic Qi wasn't like pills that lost effectiveness the more you had... or rather, it didn't work through the same mechanism.

When pills lost efficacy, it was because their medicinal properties didn't work anymore. When Embryonic Qi lost efficacy, it was because the target wasn't ready to take on its Blessings.

Embryonic Qi worked by sensing what the Heavens had in store for you and helping bring your body further along that path. However, "more" Embryonic Qi could only marginally help that process be sped along. Ultimately, you could still only take one step at a time. You had to take one step first before you could take a second.

That was why Ryu only really ever gave out one drop at a time. When he was dual cultivating with his wives, he would use more, but that was for two purposes.

First, he was squandering it for the sake of making his wives feel good. There was no doubt that most would moan when they first came into contact with Embryonic Qi, and the reason for that was because it had the capability of making one feel as though they were floating on a cloud. Ryu was just spoiling his women.

The second reason was because they were improving faster during intercourse with him and could afford to take on more.

To make a long story short, when Embryonic Qi entered the body, it only focused on one task at a time. It was usually best to wait until that task was finished and for more of the path forward to become clear before having another drop.

This was obvious if you thought about it too. Most people had had their droplet of Embryonic Qi while they were in their most malleable state, that of gestation.

Fully grown people weren't nearly so malleable, so the results were more... stiff.

It just didn't matter because Ryu had a nigh endless supply.

The giant woman's body trembled as she subconsciously released a moan as well. She couldn't stop herself in time, and before she understood what was happening, a large amount of impurities began to pool out of her.

However, as these impurities leaked to the ground, they seemed to vanish, almost like no one could blaspheme Ryu's inner world.

The woman's cultivation trembled and she suddenly entered the Middle True Sky God Realm without a hint of cultivation herself.

Ryu clicked his tongue in slight annoyance and had no choice but to open his Inner World up to the Nether Plane, allowing Nether Qi to roll in. If he didn't do so, she would fail her breakthrough and ruin her future.

The woman's cultivation quickly stabilized. Not everyone was like Ryu had needed weeks on end to complete a breakthrough, or else there would never be peace in the cultivation world.

When her eyes opened, she looked toward Ryu in shock. Just what had she just drunk...

If Ryu had a small droplet of it, that would be fine. But rivers?! Why was it all so exaggerated, it didn't make any sense whatsoever.

"What's your name?" Ryu asked.

"... Hrakka."

Ryu smiled. "Nice to meet you Hrakka. I'm not going to experiment on you, that would be a waste of my time. Your only job is to have a droplet a day or every couple days, whenever you feel that you'll make the strongest breakthrough.

"As for the rest, I still haven't figured it out because I haven't studied how to make a summoning contract in this world yet. But I will soon."

Ryu smiled, and Hrakka was even more confused...

What was the catch?
