Aika shuddered once and her body vanished, appearing beside Jojo down below. Her figure swayed, but her disciple was able to quickly catch her.
Jojo looked up into the skies with complicated feelings swirling in her eyes. She still didn't know exactly what had happened, but there were more than enough clues in Ryu's words. Was there something wrong with Old Wan?
Judging by Aika's reaction and the fact she didn't even try to refute, it could only mean that there was at least some truth to it.
In that case, could it be that Samson was also a problem?
Her heart shook as she looked down toward Samson. The man was all but dead now. The only reason he wasn't already was because his Lord Realm Cultivation was barely keeping him alive. And yet, it was precisely because of this cultivation that it was so shocking that he seemed to be on his last legs.
Samson, somehow... couldn't seem to heal from Ryu's attack.
High in the skies, Ryu turned to face Old Wan with his hands clasped behind his back and his intentions still firmly placed to ignore the two Sovereigns behind him.
Old Wan still looked calm. He had the very same face that Ryu could recall. That amiable old man who was willing to be the butt of the joke so long as everyone else was happy...
He played the role well.
It was just that he had never fooled Ryu.
If before their game of Domain it was nothing more than speculation for Ryu, after forcing Old Wan to play a simplified version of the game, there was nowhere for him to hide.
Ryu had felt the truth of his incisiveness, that hidden snaking tail that Old Wan had always been carrying with him. And now, he finally faced off against the man.
"I never expected that you would actually have such powerful backing." Old Wan said slowly, obviously referring to Ryu's father.
"I'm more surprised that you dared to stay here despite knowing that. A cowardly rat like you should have scurried away by now, don't you think?"
"I think we both know this was the best choice. With your arrogance, you wouldn't allow anyone other than yourself to kill me. And if your father listens to your words enough to allow you such willfulness, then he very clearly loves you very much. What will he do once your soul is in my possession?"
Ryu burst out into laughter, the booming cadence of his emotion peeling across the skies and darkening the clouds.
Rumbling shook the very earth and sparks of blue lightning danced across the darkening clouds.
Ryu's Storm Talent seemed to activate on its own and the entirety of the Seventh Heaven responded to his call.
He laughed so heartily that it seemed like he had truly heard the greatest joke in the world just now.
Chaos Qi continued to spill out of himself in waves, powerful, surging qi rampaging about and shredding the laws of the Real Plane apart before replacing them with Ryu's own thoughts and feelings.
Such Ryu's presence alone seemed to tug the world in ways that couldn't be imagined.
"I don't think you understand what I came here to do, old bastard. This isn't a bid for revenge. I came here to slaughter pigs. I'll have you on my chopping board soon. I'll make you experience every inch, every shuddering horror, of your body being refined into a puppet.
"You tell me... after your soul is dead and gone, and your eyes are a lifeless husk of what they once used to be...
"Will your clever, witty retorts still be there? I'm eager to see."
There was a flash in Ryu's eyes before his aura exploded.
"[Heaven's Gate]. Open."
Rumble.
The Seventh Heaven began to break apart at its seams. An all-encompassing formation that suffocated the worlds below suddenly appeared as though trying to constrain and control something, but Ryu's momentum was so great that it had only appeared for a few seconds before it suddenly shattered apart.
Those across the Seventh Heaven looked up in horror. It felt as though they were watching the dome of Heaven collapse. Beautiful arrays of shattering glass falling from the skies in rains of energy and qi.
The moment the Seventh Heaven's Dome of Heaven collapsed, it was as though a chain reaction had been triggered.
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
The Sixth Heaven, the Fifth, the Fourth... Down all the way to the First.
In that moment, artificial suppressions on the Daos were torn apart as though they
had never existed before and a rain of energy fell onto all the worlds.
What no one seemed to have realized before was that these Domes of Heaven didn't just manifest from nothing. They needed energy to run. And where else could that energy come from... if not the worlds they were attached to?
It wasn't just the lower Heavens that were suppressed either.
In order to keep such a large array that covered an entire world active... even the
Ninth Heaven took a large hit to their qi and law quality.
But now, the entire operation came crashing down because of a single man.
The moment the Seven lower Domes of Heaven collapsed, the Eighth Heaven's shuddered before it shattered to pieces as well, falling in a rain that collapsed to the ground below.
And then, the Ninth Heaven began to shudder as well, shaking and quaking at its very
seams.
Ryu took a deep breath, bringing his arms from behind his back and raising them wide as he basked in the changes to the world.
A smirk curled his lip as he felt a shudder behind him.
The True Martial World's Heaven unleashed a torrent of energy and soon, it had taken
a step forward, reaching the same level as the Fiend World... and then it took another step forward, surpassing the Fiend World by a step... and then it took another step forward, surpassing the Fiend World by two...
And then it took yet another step forward...
Reaching the same level as the Griffin World.
