Chapter 1422 Sightless Eyes

The Formation Eye Visualization technique had been incredibly useful to Ryu in Sacrum, but here, it wasn't able to sustain the formations of the True Martial World. They were essentially meant to be like portable, self-created formation flags. However, they didn't have the proper supporting Fundamental Runes to work properly in this world.

Ryu hadn't had the skill or the time to improve them to the standards of the world. Even now, he still didn't. Though, it was probably more a function of time than skill now.

So why was he deploying a useless Visualization technique? It was because he was cheating. Each kernel of a Formation Eye was sustained by his Birthed Phenomena and his Founding Dao. Using the much weaker core of the Visualization as a foundation, he was able to trick the Heavens into thinking that it was indeed a Formation Eye that was present.

A Formation Eye was essentially a signal to the Heavens. When they were arranged in a certain way, Heaven's Laws reacted accordingly and allowed a formation's effects to take hold. However, if a formation flag was too weak, and tried to form a much stronger formation, then it would fail and shatter.

But Ryu realized not long ago that he had a built in ability to stimulate the Heavens to follow his will. His Birthed Phenomena pulled in and controlled much more qi than he could alone, while his Founding Dao carried a supreme power over the laws that allowed him to understand all things. Together, they could form a weak approximation of the real thing.

Ryu knew that it wouldn't last long. He had poured far more strength into the form of the Formation Eyes so that they would be able to sustain themselves, but they would last for nothing more than a few minutes at best before collapsing under his might. If that happened, he would need to trick the panther beast into giving him enough time again, and it would be much harder the second time around without a doubt.

Ryu roared, the delicate skin across his body, and even the flesh beneath, suddenly splintering and cracking as roaring black lightning began to descend from his Birth Phenomena. The violence was heart shuddering, and the qi in the surroundings, as though being judged by a higher being, began to scatter and rush about, the commotion becoming so violent that a whirling tornado of blackness shot into the skies.

"SIGHTLESS EYES!"

Ryu's palms, pressed together so hard his wrists fractured, began to outpour with a whirling violence of Spiritual Qi just as volatile beneath the raging black lightning.

He pulled his bow back once more, the raging, crackling black lightning thunderous to light. But this time, there was an added trace of black flame...

This black flame wasn't his Rage Flames or his Death Flames, but rather a dense mass of destruction that seemed to have aspects of both.

Primordial Chaos Fire Qi.

SHUUUUU! BANG!

The panther beast tried to dodge again. It moved in the wrong direction, but it did so with such speed that Ryu still somewhat missed, causing his gaze to grow cold. Even so, the ribcage of the Golden Protector Spirit was blazed open, his skin a mass of boiling flesh, its bones cracked and haggard, its inner organs threatened to fall out.

What strong defenses...

Ryu fired several more arrows. He could feel that the Formation Eyes were about to waver and vanish, but he didn't panic. In the state the spirit was in now, it could no longer threaten him. However, the load of using such powerful Primordial Chaos Qis was practically ripping him from the inside out

He released a final arrow and the panther spirit seemed to unwillingly collapse.

Ryu's gaze suddenly flickered. In all of his thought and effort, he had forgotten one very important thing.

Did this panther spirit even align with his Martial Forms? Why was it that he couldn't tell immediately?

The moment he had this thought, the Sightless Eyes Formation collapsed.
