Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 876 NO!

Ryu's blade swung down, the world seeming to split in two. 

Everything in its path was wiped out. 

It was a sword qi of all sword qis, a violent ripping of space and being that tore at the hearts of those who observed it and sucked out the souls of those that stood in its path. 

Kagan's eyes widened, his hands clapping to reveal a pair of prayer beads that wrapped about his wrists and fingers. He roared, his aura blazing and his hair and robes fluttering about the air. 

He stretched out a palm, his movements slow as though he was pushing against a mountain. However, beneath his action, the skies shifted and the earth rumbled. 

Palm and sword light met, crackles of lightning and thunder sparking between the two. Space shattered and fragmented, the air and wind around it imploded like a rain of firecrackers and fireworks. A violent tempest kicked up, Kagan's brows growing more and more focused as he pressed downward. 

However, right at that moment, his expression changed, an overwhelming feeling of danger coming from his back. 

'How did he move through such a volatile space?! That's impossible!'

Ryu didn't seem to care or even take a moment to pause at Kagan's shock, his Great Swordstaff descended from the skies once again. His power was so forceful that his polearm bent, fragmented pieces of shattered space accumulating around his blade, becoming coated with gorgeous and dangerous silvery and shimmering black lights. 

BANG!

Kagan sent his free hand backward, blocking attacks from two sides. But the result sent a wave straight through his shoulder and torso that nearly compressed his body into a flattened plane of flesh. 

"AAAAOOOOOOOO!"

What sounded like the howl of a wolf resounded to Ryu's back, a hulking and hairy man covered in beast skins appearing behind him. 

Ryu's body flickered, a bolt of lightning being left in his wake as he dodged out of the way of the Human Beast Sky God's twin hammer fist. 

PCHU!

A spurt of blood sprang from the Human Beast Sky God's side, Ryu cutting across his tough and sturdy skin as he passed by. 

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Kagan's palm faltered, Ryu's sword qi exploding onto his skin. His robes rebuffed a large amount of the attack, his Godhood flourished as several shields formed around his body. By the end of it all, he came out the other side disheveled, the whites of his eyes pulsing with crimson veins. 

A Path Extinction Realm expert had actually put him in such a state?!

And yet, when his head snapped back, he found that the Human Beast Sky God was being toyed with like a puppet on a string. Ryu's movements were fast and erratic, his flickering body shifting through space, no matter how volatile, with the ease of breathing. 

It was clear that his attack speed, his agility and even his straight-line speed were all slower by not just a small measure. But it didn't seem to matter in the slightest. 

When Ryu began an attack and the downward swing of his Great Swordstaffs began, he would easily shift dozens of times, his body flickering and vanishing as though space itself was dancing on the palm of his hands. 

In the process he would dodge countless powerful attacks, each greater and more grandiose than the last, only for him to suddenly appear to the Human Beast Sky God's side, the descent of his blade perfectly time taking out another tear of flesh. 

Ryu's expression was an ice cold, but his Dragon Soul was as bright as a raging sun, sparks of lightning sparking around him again and again. 

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! 

At that moment, the paw of a Bear God easily a hundred meters across descended toward Ryu's head. However, he only flickered and vanished again, appearing above the head of the corpse puppet, his silvery irises almost becoming a frozen blue. 

"<Death Acupoint>."

Ryu's Great Swordstaff pierced downward, its sword qi making its three meter long form feel as though it extended to over a hundred meters. 

The resplendent light reflected amidst the darkness of the clouds above, standing out even amidst the bright arcs of blue lightning that continued to fall, plucking the strings of Ryu's fury. 

Three Sky Gods? Each seemingly more enraged that the last? 

So what? 

PCHU!

Ryu's hundred meter long sword qi pierced through the body of the Bear God, a dense foggy blackness expelling from its body. 

The Head of the Armored Beast Branch of the Necromancy Guild felt a connection sever, his Bear God falling down from the skies limply without his control. It was as though Ryu had ripped the power out of him. 

Using a corpse puppet before Ryu after understanding he had already mastered <Death Acupoint> was the most foolish thing the old man could have done. 

Ryu's eyes widened, a strong surge of space and a swirling black hole forming. It all instantly swallowed up the Bear God, not giving the Armored Beast Head even a chance to retrieve it. 

His body vanished once again, dodging out of the way of the Human Beast God's punch and appearing amidst the Necromancy Guild members. 

? His aura was cold, his expression focused. It was like he wasn't aware how powerful these people were, how they could overturn the world with the flip of a palm and decide the Fate of trillions with nothing more than a thought. 

To him, they were only enemies, enemies who overestimated themselves. 

He would use their blood to wash the gravestones of his grandparents. 

A blazing black flame erupted about Ryu's body, its presence suddenly making the Necromancers feel as though they had completely lost control of their Death Inheritances. The result was so shocking that they didn't know how to react immediately, causing several of their number to lose their heads to but a single swing of Ryu's Great Swordstaff. 

At that moment, Ryu's <Third Perspective> picked up a blazing attack. It cut through the air with such momentum and speed that it was already almost too late to dodge by the time he picked it up. 

However, in that instant, several Immortal Sakura petals fell from the skies, lining up within its path. 

Ryu's foot kicked out, landing on the chest of the Armored Beast Head. 

The path of the flying attack diverted only the slightest bit, but it was already enough. 

"NO!"

PCHU!

The Armored Beast Head's skull was pierced through by an arrow, his life fading before he even hit the ground. 

True Sky God Arcus stood in the distance stunned, his bow still raised.
