Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 586 Each Point More Ridiculous Than The Last

The more Ryu looked around, the more he felt that this Ice Devil simply wanted everyone to die. Ryu's frown only became deeper as he continued forward.

'Faster.'

Ryu picked up his pace. He wasn't the type of person to care about the deaths of others. No one who had entered this place was a child. Plus, most of them had some sort of enmity with him and wouldn't hesitate to take his life should they get the chance.

However, none of this stopped Ryu's heart from beating faster and faster. He felt his intuition screaming at him, making his blood boil as though it was priming his body for something big. However, as one might expect from something like intuition, it gave him no details, no explanation, no information… It was as though he was being surrounded by walls closing in from all sides, but he still had no idea how much distance they had left to travel or even how fast they were going.

He could only go faster, move faster.

Ryu at his top speed was no different from a blazing comet. If he could enter his Spirit Body form entirely, he would be even faster. However, he had no choice but to stay partly tangible for the sake of continuing to carry Yaana.

He cut a trail through the snow, leaving nothing but melted steam in his wake.

Space tore along Ryu's path. He didn't hold back in the slightest, nor was he worried about the impact to Yaana. If a spatial Faerie couldn't handle such a thing, then no one could.

BANG!

The whistling of air boomed and collapsed on itself. Ryu's body was practically like the point of a laser, slicing through the wind, skies and clouds with impunity.

BANG!

Ryu came to an abrupt stop. In one instant, he was crossing hundreds of kilometers in the fraction of a second. In the next, he stood as tall and straight as a javelin, his demeanor icy cold. It was as though he hadn't been moving at all, as though he had been standing their from the very beginning.

He coldly stared up ahead, standing at the foot of the mountain. A journey that would have taken most in this place days, even weeks to cross, even if they went completely straight the whole time, had been crossed by Ryu in just a few minutes.

Up ahead, a group of several hundred figures stood. Each one of them seemed to be waiting at the foot of the mountain for a purpose, and the moment they all laid eyes on Ryu, it seemed that they had found that purpose.

It was then that the wall of wind that had been rushing to get out of his way suddenly collapsed. The sound was so jarring and loud that it felt like the skies themselves were falling.

BANG! . ᴄᴏᴍ

The wall of cloaked figures was suddenly sent flying. To some of the weaker ones, they imploded into a rain of blood and gore, unable to handle the mere wind pressure of Ryu's speed alone.

If Ryu had the complete Northern Heavenly Wind, such a thing would never happen because he would have completely fused with the wind. Unfortunately for these individuals, though, he was still nowhere near completing his Heavenly Wind. And the results were devastating.

Despite this, though, there were many within the group that seemed completely unaffected. In fact, their robes only fluttered slightly.

That said… This slight fluttering was just enough for Ryu to catch a glimpse of their faces.

'The Three Pupil Eclipse Sect? Here…?'

This alone would have been enough for Ryu to question some things, but it wasn't nearly enough for him to be shocked. After all, was it really so surprising? These people had been in the same trial he was in and there wasn't exactly a cap on the number of people who could enter this world or else it would have been mentioned long ago.

If they had managed to get accepted by the Silver Touch Branch, it wouldn't be surprising that they would have gotten entry into this place. But, that wasn't the main problem.

First, they had managed to get here before him. Even with how unfair this Ice Devil Legacy World had been to this point, Ryu highly doubted it would allow anyone to directly skip its trials, right? It was impossible that they didn't have to go through the same trial he just did.

But, in that case, how could they have possibly made it through? Ryu knew a little about the pupils of the Three Pupil Eclipse Sect's bloodline, so he was aware of its abilities. At best, it was just better than other eyes at picking up Yin Qi and helping its wielders to use such qi.

But, there was no Yin Qi involved in the illusion formation. If anything, an illusion formation had to be the perfect balance of yin and yang or else it wouldn't be a very good illusion to begin with.

Of course, Ryu also remembered that Eska through Isemeine had mentioned that the Silver Touch Branch was very interested in helping the Three Pupil Eclipse Sect to evolve their pupils into something greater, and maybe that had succeeded?

But, even if Ryu was willing to accept something like this, how could their Pupils possibly match up to his own in seeing through formations? If they could do that, he might as well give up the seat of First Ranked Heavenly Pupils right now.

Was it a treasure? Maybe one at the level of the Origin Grade?

Ryu guessed that that might be possible. But, that only led to more questions. How could such a small world have such a treasure to use? And, in the case of some miracle they did have such a treasure, it would be the most tightly held secret, they wouldn't randomly allow it out of the Sect.

The only way such a thing would be allowed is if they had planned things before hand. But, wouldn't that require knowing what the trials in this place would be? How could they possibly know that an Origin Grade or even Ancestral Grade treasure would be necessary in a Legacy World capped at the Immortal Ring Realm?!

Even after reaching this point, none of this touched upon the worst and most ridiculous thing…

Of those who had been unbothered by Ryu's wind pressure… All of them were above the Immortal Ring Realm!
