Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

1791 Flip

Commander Monk's expression changed wildly. It wasn't just him, but everyone who was paying attention to the situation. The trouble was that he was the one that took the worst blow of them all.

Ryu had obviously done it on purpose. He was using the moment everyone was focused on him to display his value. At this point, even if Commander Monk wanted to do something to him, he would have to get into a long line.

Ryu had never feared the spotlight. Since he was going to join this army for the sake of his wife, he'd do it the right way.

The gazes of several flashed, and in the far off distance, Commander Tiger was alerted as well.

The existence of a Founding Dao couldn't be underestimated. In their entire world, even if all Sky Gods were then into account, there were fewer than 30 individuals with a Dao of this Level.

And as for those with a Peak Founding Dao, like the one they were sensing right now…

There was only Ryu.

In fact, aside from Ryu, there wasn't a single other person with at least a Higher Founding Dao either.

Of course, they likewise took into account that Ryu was only a True Sky God. The odds that his Founding Dao would plummet as he continued to cultivate was highly likely.

However, even if you took into account the geniuses that started at Peak Founding Daos before falling, there were only three not including Ryu.

One of them Aria Moon, a Fiend Childe of Earth and Water. She was currently an Omniscient Sky God with one foot into the Dao Lord Realm. It was said that she could break through at any time.

The second was Yeger Sun, a Fiend Childe of Wind, Fire and Lightning. He was an impossibly rare Fiend Childe above Fiend Childes, having not just two Elements, but three. He was currently a Transcendent Sky God, and it was said that his life was still teetering on an uneven balance. If he could not make it to Lordship within the next ten years, many experts had said that he would lose his life to his own talent.

The last was a Fey and the only such genius on the side of the Real Plane. Ironically enough, his nwas family nwas also Moon.

According to what Ryu knew, Moon and Sun were the two last halves of the Fey Race. But he wasn't aware of this Fey's existence, so he likewise didn't know just yet that things seemed to be the shere.

In fact, this young man shared the slast nas Sarriel, but being Moon Fey and basking in Yin.

This young man was known simply as Young Master Moon, as though he was too arrogant to tell the world his name.

Truthfully, Young Master Moon and Aria Moon were said to be the only two true geniuses, though both had Middle Founding Daos now. This was because Yeger's situation was far too precarious, and both of them were racing to see who would beca Dao Lord first.

When the two had been in the True Sky God Realm, they likewise both had Peak Founding Daos, just like Ryu.

Seeing this scene, the entire battlefield couldn't help but light up.

Didn't this mean that the Real Plane had suddenly gained another world shaking genius?

What kind of debut was this?

Suddenly, the thoughts of many began to subtly change.

Was all of this meant to deal a blow to the Fiends?

A Founding Dao genius who managed to escape from the hands of a Dao Sovereign, only to suddenly reveal his brilliance…

Wasn't this too perfect?

"PREPARE TO CHARGE!"

The booming voice of a Dao Sovereign echoed across the battlefield.

Commander Tiger tried to escape, but the Fey, after gaining a slight advantage, had no intention of letting him go.

Ryu grinned at Commander Monk and then slipped into the back line of the army.

Several glances landed on him, but they forced themselves to maintain discipline.

Commander Monk frowned. "The formation—."

A clicking sound cfrom Ryu's army and he seamlessly joined as though he had been practicing with them for years.

The luster of the army grew and Ryu's smile becgentle and confident.

The formation style of this world was a bit different, but the fundamental runes were the exact same. There was nothing that he couldn't see through given enough time, and they had already given him too much of it.

The army began to march, and Ryu's thoughts couldn't help but flicker.

Was it a coincidence that the SuprCommander decided to start the charge right at this moment? Or had he made yet another enemy?

That was weird. Commander Monk might believe he had offended someone and ended up in the vanguard, but Ryu knew better than anyone else that he wasn't.

How could he have offended anyone and have had his Clan wiped out if he had only just stepped into this world?

'… The waters in this place are deep.'

After this having this thought, Ryu relaxed. The cards were still in his hands. He wouldn't fear anyone.

His goal was to stand at the top of the world. Nothing would ever pause his steps.

A mighty sword appeared in a shimmering silver light appeared above their army as they pierced through the rainbow barrier.

Something inside Ryu churned when he stepped through this barrier for the second time, but he pushed it down.

Commander Monk stood high above the army and stretched out a palm. The formed sword beca part of his strength, and he suddenly swiped out.

A sword qi that was both like a rod and a sword at once swept out, flattening the mountain range ahead.

As expected, by the tthey returned, the vanguard had already collapsed.

It had seemed like Ryu was helping them, but after organizing them and then leaving them to fend for themselves, they had ended up in an even worse situation.

Suddenly, True Sky Gods were caught up in a battlefield with Transcendents and Omniscient Sky Gods. In just a few seconds, they were all wiped out.

When Commander Monk saw the state of the vanguard, his eyes couldn't help but flicker with surprise.

It was no wonder Commander Tiger had chased after Ryu. He had never seen a vanguard devastated to this degree.

Ryu smirked inwardly when he sensed the gaze on him, but he pretended as though he didn't realize Commander Monk was looking at him at all. In fact, he was a bit annoyed right now.

'Letting this trashy Dao lead everything is annoying, but this formation is truly fascinating. It looks like every Battalion has a formation tailored to the Dao of the Commander, allowing them to display the most power. It's too bad this Dao Lord is as dumb as a rock.'

The situation was still a bit odd.

The battlefield stretched for miles, and Ryu had only ruined one of the vanguards. If they pressed too far, they would end up suffering backlash.

Ryu already noticed that Commander Monk was pushing up far too eagerly. This man was clearly obsessed with garnering greed and merit.

'Seems that following such a fool will only be beneficial to me.'

The vanguard that Ryu had forced to collapse was directly under the thorny Commander's charge. That meant that if Commander Monk kept pressing forward like this, she would be forced to take action.

When the tcame, he would get his revenge.

Ryu indifferently continued to march along with the army.

Trashy Dao or not, Commander Monk was certainly on a tear. It wasn't even more than a few seconds before the thorny Commander had no choice but to take action.

Their Battalion rumbled and a large, smouldering cauldron appeared high in the air. Unlike Commander Monk, the thorny woman didn't wield it personally. It would only leave her at a disadvantage, anyway. After all, she was only an Omniscient Sky God.

But that didn't mean its power was lacking.

BOOM!

The skies rumbled and quaked as sword met cauldron.

At that moment, three Dao Lords soared up from the thorny woman's Battalion, and two more Dao Lords reacted from Commander Monk's.

The latter group becshrouded in silver, while the former were wreathed in flames.

Swords and fire blanketed the skies.

Ryu looked to the side, and his eyes narrowed. 'Why aren't the other Battalions taking advantage of the situation?'

After sthought, he found the answer. Their formations were much less flexible than the Real Plane's. If they attacked to pincer now, it would be difficult to retreat later on.

'Hm…'

Ryu looked up into the skies. The pull on his qi was becoming greater and greater, and this guy really seemed to want to suck them all dry.

He wondered if Commander Monk was smarter than he thought, or if he just coincidentally benefited.

'Either way, let's flip this table.'

The question was how to do it without thrusting himself into a live or die situation.

Ryu's eyes glowed. He already had the answer.

A Qi Line extended from his mouth and whispered into the thorny Commander's ears.
