1756 Invincible

Ryu didn't have a chance to take a deep look at the technique. He had already arrived.

This time, he found Selheira in a state of deep meditation, a frown pinching her delicate brows. She wasn't in any imminent danger, or so it seemed on the surface. But Ryu quickly found what the issue was.

Her body was, indeed, stronger than his in this state. The problem was that she hadn't grasped Bloodline Resonance and her cultivation was much lower than those that would be able to reach this stage.

Although she was advancing by leaps and bounds, she wasn't going to be able to make up for years of delayed cultivation in just a few days or even months.

She had already missed the ideal window for fast progression, and now she was heavily relying on her talent and resources instead.

Ryu wasn't worried about this because he was certain that he could help her to overcome that hurdle. But that wouldn't change the fact that this seventh layer was too much for her.

He quickly rushed up and put a hand on her shoulder. It was only then that the pressure around Selheira finally alleviated and she let out a haggard breath.

She collapsed into Ryu's arms, fainting. Her breathing became shallow and quick, her skin paling.

Ryu felt a pang of guilt. He had brought her here before she was ready, and she had likely been here waiting for him. She had likely expected that he would quickly catch up. Instead, he had forced her to endure alone for over a half day.

He picked her up into a cradle and dispelled all the black water around her. Her body finally fully relaxed, and her frown smoothed out, but judging by the erratic beating of her heart, she wasn't out of the woods just yet.

Ryu only sighed a breath of relief after he realized that there was no immediate danger to her life. In fact, he realized that although this situation was dangerous; she had benefitted quite a bit.

Her skin was covered in droplets of impurities, likely forced out thanks to the tremendous pressure she had been under.

Ryu carefully cleansed her body, controlling a pulse of ice qi to freeze them over and shatter them.

From what Ryu could see, after Selheira left this place and gained access to Real Qi once more, she would be able to take a straight shot right into the Perfect Sky God Realm at the very worst.

It wasn't just this, but the pressure also forced her Fire Dragon side into a more active role, and more shocking than that, Ryu actually began to sense other Dragon Bloodlines in her body.

That was when it hit Ryu.

If Selheira had a Fire Dragon Bloodline hidden inside of her, why wouldn't the other Bloodlines, suppressed through her lineage, not be there as well?

He sensed aspects of Wind, Water, Earth. There were even traces of rarer Dragons, like Spatial Dragons, in her blood.

They were, obviously, much weaker than her Crystal Dragon Bloodline, but this was an analysis Ryu made based on their quantity, not their quality.

Ryu grinned.

This had nothing to do with him. Selheira had realized that if she used her Crystal Dragon Bloodline as the main pillar, forcing these other Bloodlines into subservience was possible.

Ryu finally sensed a person. He wasn't sure if it was Empana because the distance was too far, but he could only go one by one in this situation. So, he set off.

As he did so, he turned his attention back to the Ash Treant's method. It was such a fundamental technique of the race that it didn't even have a name. It was a lot like the Martial Arts that Ryu practiced as a youth.

But as Ryu read, he was completely blown away.

Ryu was almost never impressed. It took his master finding his wife across countless world barriers before he even acknowledged her.

It wasn't that there weren't people that could do what he couldn't. It was more, so that it was rare for him to come across someone he didn't think could only do so because they had more years of cultivation than himself.

Ryu always felt that he could accomplish more than others should the circumstances be the exact sum. Though, he acknowledged that the world was fair.

But this... this was truly impressive.

...

In the outside world, the Ash Treants were bristling with rage at the fall of their genius. There were only three Ash Treants that had made it so far, and Ryu actually killed one of them so easily. It was nothing short of a humiliation.

But when they saw him reading their technique, their reaction wasn't furious at all.

That was because this technique fell into a rare category.

It was a technique that was both a core method of the Ash Treants, and yet one that they never bothered to try to put restrictions over. Not only could any Ash Treant practice it and even carry a copy regardless of status, the technique had been passed on so far and wide that every Demon Clan had a copy in the Ninth Plane. Even the weaker ones.

It was simply a technique which, even if one came to comprehend it, it wouldn't make a difference because it was entirely reliant on the unique body of the Ash Treants.

On top of that, even other lesser Treants couldn't make use of this technique because the requirements were too high.

As such, this was a unique technique. They could only sneer at Ryu's actions. He'd have better odds looking at what the other two might have been carrying.

...

Ryu had no idea what the Ash Treants were thinking, nor did he give a damn.

Because the moment he saw this technique, his heart was practically beating out of his chest.

This was the method...

"I will use this to bring my close combat to an all new level. If I accomplish this and succeed in improving my Dao the way I want, it should be almost impossible for anyone beneath Dao Lord to even scratch me."

The fierce glow in Ryu's eyes could burn a world down. He could finally take strides toward that ideal he had dreamed of since he was a child.

One day, he would be invincible.
