Grand Ancestral Bloodlines-Novel

Chapter 1572 Burning

"What just happened?"

Everyone was watching the battle with rapt attention, and then the couple whose words they couldn't hear suddenly said something about taking Ryu as a disciple, and then the image vanished.

Sovereign Black Worm's expression turned dark. He didn't like this turn of events at all.

First, Silver Dance clearly gave up the fight on purpose, and now these two had somehow broken free of Fate entirely, leaving behind the restrictions of the Heavens and doing things on their own.

He calmed himself with thoughts not too dissimilar from Ryu's own. Even if they broke free of some restrictions, they couldn't possibly break through them all.

However... the vanishing of the image was something that was difficult to swallow... That most definitely wasn't a normal feat.

Ryu's pupils constricted. Fading Star's aura, that had just been in the Half-Step Perfect Sky God Realm, suddenly stepped beyond and entered the Perfect Sky God Realm, then beyond that and entered the Transcendent Sky God Realm, then the Omniscient Sky God Realm.

The higher it went, rather than slowing down, it actually accelerated. It treated the Dao Lord Realm and even the Dao Sovereign Realm like they were fluttering leaves in the wind.

That was right... She stepped into the Dao God Realm.

Ryu stood in silence. According to his information, the highest Realm they had reached was the Dao Sovereign Realm before quietly passing away. In fact, according to that same information, they didn't have Founding Daos at all. Instead, they supposedly had Middle Ancient Daos.

It was incredibly difficult to raise your Dao level they higher you went. A Middle Ancient Dao was already the elite of the elite of the elite on the Eighth Heaven. And these two, because they synergized so well in battle-at least when they weren't bickering-they were a match for someone with a Higher Ancient Dao.

But all of that was thrown out of the window now. Clearly, these two had hidden their real strength for the entirety of their existence.

As for why, Ryu could only guess that they wanted to avoid the ire of the Ninth Heaven... but he wasn't even sure if that was true. With this strength, these two should be capable of protecting themselves... Right?

Even so, just a mere Dao God Title wasn't enough to bend Ryu's will. No one could ever impress him with a mere cultivation Realm. As he saw things, Realms were just a function of time to him, not difficulty. These people were stronger than him only because they had lived longer.

He had never felt that this deserved his respect. novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

Some said you should respect your elders, but why? And for what, exactly?

He had met several so-called adults that acted like children as though they had never grown up themselves. There were plenty of worthless old people who had never accomplished anything. This simply didn't move him.

At best, it said that these two were excellent talents. Well, that was because everything that Fading Star was displaying, he directly assigned to Radiant Star as well. Even though his aura was still in the Half-Step Perfect Sky God Realm, Ryu was fairly confident in his assessment.

Radiant Star suddenly started chuckling watching Ryu's reaction to his wife.

"Fading Star, you'll have to bring out something more than that it seems."

Fading Star turned a deaf ear to her husband as her aura settled down. He seemed to be having a great time.

According to Radiant Star, they should have beaten this brat into the ground thoroughly before bringing up such matters. But Fading Star had said that was ridiculous and when you got such a strong-willed person, such a thing would only turn them off to you.

Radiant Star then replied saying that if they just crushed Ryu's will too, it wouldn't be a problem.

But then Fading Star said that if they did that, wouldn't they make him useless?

Radiant Star didn't have a rebuttal to this, but he still felt his wife was being too nice to this brat. So he was taking pleasure in her misfortune.

Fading Star's aura settled down.

"What would you like in a master?" She suddenly asked.

Although her husband was making fun of her, she truly wasn't moved. She just thought it was Ryu's right to know her true cultivation base.

Ryu didn't actually expect this question. He looked at the beautiful woman deeply for a moment before answering.

"You have to be capable of accomplishing something I don't believe I can even with time."

Ryu wanted to say: "Impress me." But since Fading Star was taking such a step forward and displayed an olive branch of goodwill, he chose to take a step forward as well.

There was no need to be rude to a person who was trying to ingratiate themselves with you.

"What an arrogant little shit..." Radiant Star muttered.

This was the first time he had said something so vulgar, but he couldn't seem to help himself. Ryu was basically spitting in the face of his own philosophy about Cultivation Realm and even saying that reaching the Dao God Realm for him was just a function of time.

Fading Star smiled. Although Radiant Star said this, the truth was that neither of them would have the patience to take in anyone as a disciple without at least a near guarantee of reaching the Dao Sovereign Realm-barring unexpected death.

"Something you don't believe you can accomplish given enough time, huh..."

Fading Star's slender finger suddenly reached out and tapped at the air.

Suddenly, Ryu felt the binds of Karma and Fate twisting and turning.

"Fading Star, what are you doing?!" Radiant Star, who was still nonchalant a moment ago, suddenly rushed forward in an attempt to stop his wife. But unfortunately for him, while she had returned to the Dao God Realm, he didn't. It would take too much time to unseal himself, and by then it would already be over. "Dammit!"

His cultivation began to soar, but it was too late.

Right then, Fading Star paused and looked at Ryu.

"You have one question, Ryu. One question, and it will be answered. One burning question you have in your heart."

Ryu's heart skipped a beat, his lips slightly parting. And then the words tumbled out on their own as though Fading Star had pulled them out of him.

"My wives, Ailsa Tatsuya and Yaana Tatsuya, where are they?"
