Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 1954  Easy?

Many years ago, when Ryu's Founding Dao was first revealed, most thought of three people: Aria Moon, Young Master Moon, and the only three elemental Fiend Childe in current existence, Yeger Sun.

However, it had been a long time since then. And, considering the cultivation speed of true geniuses, there was already another slate of excellent talents who had likewise entered the Omniscient Realm with Founding Daos. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

However… compared to these three, the current geniuses were a lot less likely to manage to maintain their Daos into the Lord Realm…

Unlike Aria Moon who had done exactly that.

The gap between the Lord Realm and Omniscient Sky God Realm was such that upon managing to maintain a Founding Dao, you were simply on another entirely new level.

Although it was still unknown if she would be able to maintain it all the way through, what shocked people was that her Dao didn't fall to the Lower Founding Dao. Instead, she managed to maintain a Middle Foundation Dao.

So although they had been "replaced" with a new slate of geniuses, it could be said that Aria had already transcended beyond the normal bound of genius by this point… at this pace, she had a good chance of becoming the first Founding Dao God of the Fiends in a very… very long while.

Ryu's words, however, had little care for all of this. He was simply taking advantage of the savagery of the Fiends.

It had probably been many, many years since anyone dared to say such a thing about Aria, so much so that the Lord Dark Fiend was taken off guard.

According to the customs of the Fiends, this was only natural. But the problem was that those of higher cultivation realms wouldn't have the face to say such a thing, nor would most allow it to happen.

But now only was Ryu of a lower cultivation realm, he was two entire realms lower, including the large moat that was the Lord Realm.

The Lord Dark Fiend immediately took Ryu to be one of the new so-called geniuses rising up. Given Ryu's cultivation realm, he would likely have been born in the last few decades and simply didn't understand the terror of Aria, especially since the woman had basically receded from the world ever since she started to make her push to the Lord Realm.

It was only recently that she had come out and been set in charge of this Holy World. But there were only a very select few who were even aware of this, which was why the man didn't even feel like there was much wrong with Ryu's identity.

Only a high-class Fiend would be able to have this information, so Ryu should certainly be one of their own, and likewise a genius which was why he would be given this information in the first place.

If he was being deployed here as a Transcended, it should be that his status was fairly high and he had a great deal of potential.

But…

The Lord Dark Fiend suddenly struck out with a palm. It was fast and ruthless, and completely sudden. He had only just stopped laughing and its echo was still roaring through the skies. Yet, his palm was already at Ryu's chest.

Ryu's eyes narrowed.

A Lord was indeed powerful. The attack felt almost slow in his eyes, but that was because of his Heavenly Pupils, not because of his natural reaction speed. Without his eyes, he would certainly be struck by this palm. And although it didn't have any killing intent, it would have certainly put him on bed rest for at least a few months.

'The gap between Lord and Omniscient is actually so large… fascinating.'

The Lord Dark Fiend felt that something was wrong immediately. His thinking speed was that of a Lord, so he could see that Ryu wasn't stunned, nor was he just so slow to react. He even seemed to be contemplating something.

This was something that only one capable of reacting to Lord speed should be capable of. But how could a Transcended be capable of such a thing?

Suddenly, the Lord Dark Fiend's palm came to a stop. However, judging by the expression on his face, this was clearly not something that he had planned.

Instead…

WHOOSH! BANG!

A strong force of wind caused Ryu to take a step back, but when he tried to stabilize himself, he was forced to take another, and then another.

Ryu finally came to a stop and shook his head. 'Still three steps after that. Still not strong enough…'

However, while he was disappointed, the most shocked individual was the Lord Dark Fiend. He looked at his palm as though he couldn't believe what had just happened.

Right when he was going to strike Ryu, it felt like his palm was suddenly traveling across dozens of meters rather than the few inches that separated them. His momentum all came to a stop after traveling through the space and the only thing that hit Ryu was the residual wind.

But even then, the aftershocks of a Lord's strength should be able to at least make Ryu cough up a mouthful of blood even if the Lord was holding back.

But to only take three steps back… He didn't even put up any defenses or circulate any qi. That meant that Ryu was forced to take those three steps back only as a result of how much effort and strength he put into his normal standing posture.

This was such a shocking matter that the Lord Dark Fiend continued to look at his palm as though he was certain that something else must have gone wrong.

Ryu suddenly sneered. "Don't worry. When I become a Lord, I'll remember that strike."

The Lord Dark Fiend's expression changed as Ryu walked past him, making a move to enter the portal.

Though he said this, Ryu had already ignored the matter. However, entering didn't seem like it was going to be so easy.
