Grand Ancestral Bloodlines-Novel

1133 Heaven and Chaos Aspects

Ryu raised his head to the skies, unleashing a mighty roar. A vortex of white gold and dark gold spiraled out, seemingly wanting to rip a hole through the miasma in the skies, almost like it had entirely ignored the Dao Lord Inheritance between itself and it.

Ryu's eyes flashed open, a radiant pulse within their depths. He could finally see, truly see. Although the abilities of his Heavenly Pupils seemed to still be sealed, Ryu was familiar enough with normal eyesight to know that this was most definitely not normal sight. In fact, it was comparable to his eyesight back in Sacrum without activating [Third Perspective].

While he couldn't see the flow of qi since his [Ephemeral Tapestry] ability was likewise still sealed, it felt like this mattered less now that the true abilities of his soul had been unsealed. He felt like he was a step closer to unsealing his eyes and this might have been the largest step he had taken torward that goal.

The haziness in his eyes vanished and they gained a sharpness to them that pierced through the veil of the world. He finally laid eyes on the Heavenly Path personally, not being restricted by the range of his Spiritual Sense and he felt that it was quite...

Small.

Ryu slowly stood to his feet, feeling the changes within his body. His every movement contained unprecedented power. Completing the Pulse Tempering stage was a huge leap already, but compared to that, completing the Vessel Tempering stage and entering the Blood Tempering stage was a qualitative change even over that.

Ryu finally felt that all of the Heavenly Favor in his body had been swallowed wholly and completely. At the same time, the special properties of the alloys he had self-created to represent his Bone Structure had been the guiding light to his forward path.

The serenity and oneness with the world he had felt from his self-forged alloys was even more prominent now, almost suffocatingly so. It was clear that all four aspects of the Ice Jade Crystal Body had been raised to a completely different level.

When it came to the healing aspect, Ryu's passive healing factor was already exaggerated thanks to Flowing Frost's Yin Water. But at this moment, it was hard to tell which of them was more powerful.

Ryu's Heavenly Chaos Body was split into two aspects, one of Heaven and the other of Chaos. His Heaven aspect could borrow atmospheric qi, assimilate it into his body, and repair it. By the same token, his Chaos aspect could tap into the Chaos Plane to do the same, but it was more complex than this as its function wasn't exactly the same.

The Heaven aspect was more in line with convention, but the Chaos aspect was not. During a repair relying on Chaos Qi, Ryu was even able to rearrange his body parts. He could shift his heart to the right, split his lungs further apart and move his inner organs to avoid damage.

This wasn't too useful considering Ryu had a Spirit Body that he had already exposed. Why use this method when there was one that was much more convenient and easier to use? Even so, Ryu had a feeling that this aspect was only so weak because his Heavenly Chaos Bone Structure was only in its infancy stages.

Right now, the Bone Structure could only be considered to be a Fragmented Grade Bone Structure. Ryu would have to continue perfecting it to continue to break convention.

When it came to the beast loving aspect of his bone structure, the effects were far more exaggerated now than they even had been.

By now, this aspect had become so incredibly weak that it showed no effect at all. When Ryu first entered the True Martial World, his Bone Structure had been chained to the point it couldn't even work on Common Grade beasts. By the time it was unshackled completely, he was already about to step into a Heaven where it wouldn't be too difficult to find Ancestral Grade beasts. It simply never had a chance to shine in its truest form.

However, the current Ryu was entirely on a different level.

His Heaven aspect made him look no different from a beast in the eyes of other beasts, making them feel as though he was one of their kin with just the slightest intention from him.

His Chaos aspect, suppressed and dominated. Just like Little Silk had suffocated beasts with her presence, weakening them just by existing, so too could he do the same. Regardless of cultivation level, so long as the beast was of inferior grade to his Bone Structure, they would experience this.

The cultivation speed aspect could only be said to be more exaggerated than ever. He could still absorb qi through his skin, but on a range that completely dwarfed his original abilities. The best part was that once he entered the Fourth Heaven, the Ice Jade Crystal Body wouldn't be considered to be mind boggling. Although still impressive, it wouldn't be enough for others to chase him to the ends of the earth.

As for his Chaos aspect, he could complete Void Qi. Below a certain standard, qi attacks that touched his body would simply vanish into an endless void, never to return. This was an ability eerily similar to another, much higher level Bone Structure, the Void Bone Structure, but now it was Ryu's own.

Even with all of this said, the aspect that had undergone the greatest change, was most definitely Ryu's Balance aspect. And yet, it was the most enigmatic and difficult to describe.

If Ryu had to describe it, it had gone beyond just balancing what was within his body. It was as though his every movement carried with it the belssings of the Heavens. Even without Immortal Rings, he could guide the qi in his surroundings and they would happily follow him, increasing his bodily strength passively.

With just a single thought, he could cause qi in the surrounding tens of kilometers to follow his fists and kicks almost as though they were already part of his body.

And that was just the Heaven aspect...ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovel(F)ɪre
