1767 Perfect Place

Ryu stood in silence, watching as Empana unleashed a raging chaos. It was clear to him that Empana wasn't used to his new body just yet, and yet he also had such overwhelming strength that it didn't seem to matter.

He had never seen Empana use a weapon before, but this only seemed to be an advantage right now. What was interesting about his current body was that its mass was so dense that it felt like he was swinging around a world every time he took action.

Ryu realized why this was quickly. It seemed that the benefit of the World Devouring wasn't just swallowing all things, but carrying it around in one's stomach made it so that this world's weight likewise became your own.

Looking at these principles, Ryu couldn't help but think of incorporating some of these concepts into himself. But he wasn't exactly eager to do so.

The reason the World Serpents were so large should precisely be because they were carrying around so much weight. If they weren't so large, they'd probably collapse beneath their own mass.

Their size also helped to disperse the density they were forced to deal with somewhat.

Plus, Ryu had a much easier method of increasing his own weight in a much more manageable way. That way was, of course, his Bone Structure.

He was making quite large strides with all his other talents. He had had enormous breakthroughs with his Spiritual Foundation, his Bloodline and even his soul, but his Bone Structure was still lagging behind.

Just anatomy wise, Bloodlines and bones should be very well connected. But in the cultivation world, things weren't always so simple.

What made things worse was that what he often relied on his Bone Structure for—separating from the Heavens and creating his own space—was now done even more perfectly by his Inner World.

As things stood now, Ryu's Bone Structure even felt somewhat... useless.

Was this actually true? Of course not. At least Ryu didn't believe so.

Even though this ability had become useless, there were still many other ways for him to use him Bone Structure. It was just that none of them were as impressive as this ability.

However, this wasn't the fault of his Bone Structure, but rather Ryu himself.

Ryu actually considered for a moment I he should trigger the close combat breakthrough he had had back in the Radiant Star Sect and replace his Bone Structure once more.

That Bone Structure was no less potent than his current Bone Structure, and it would definitely synergize with his current style of combat.

Though Ryu was thinking about it, he didn't act on it.

If he was being objective, his Boundless Cosmos Bone Structure might be just as potent as the mysterious close combat Bone Structure, but it also had far more flexibility and paths for growth.

Once again, if its potential couldn't be pulled out, it was no one's fault but his own.

The first's problem was obvious, and he had already mentioned it.

But the second's problem was that it would be a similar issue to what he faced with his Boundless Cosmos Bone Structure. What was the point of stratifying his Inner World to have so many different aspects when his Spiritual Foundation could already perform that function? With his Realm Heart added on top of that, it would be like he was nurturing two completely identical worlds.

As for the Nether and Ethereal Plane additions, it was the most viable idea, but it was still one that Ryu wasn't sure if he should take. He had yet to thoroughly test the aspects of this path.

If Ryu was honest, he felt that he should lean far more into the time aspects of his Bone Structure.

Even in comparison to his Bone Structure, the Time aspects of his Spacetime Soul Nature had received the least pampering.

It was because time was too difficult to use. Yet, he had a Bone Structure closely tied with time, but could only seem to use it to slow down his own internal clock and speed up his cultivation pace.

Sure, this was potent, but it was still lacking as well.

Ryu looked up as Selheira and Empana suddenly broke through the layer. He acted quickly, moving through and into the eighth layer along with them.

It seemed that he would have to shelve this matter for now. At least in the Rotten Sea, the greatest benefit that he would receive would come to his Bloodlines.

Everything had to be perfected step by step. It took him a great deal of effort just to reach this step. Being impatient would only harm him.

After he gained the understanding that not all Dao breakthroughs were created equal, he also understood that rushing as he usually did would only harm his foundation.

When Ryu entered the eighth layer, he was prepared. The astonishing pressure didn't faze him and he instead began to comprehend it immediately.

Selheira struggled more, having a weak cultivation and far less understanding of Bloodline Resonance than Ryu did. Even so, as she sat down in meditation, the progress she made earlier, that had likewise begun to slow down, picked back up once more.

Empana also seemed to be sensing something, but he had far less room to improve as Selheira. His body was easily able to withstand the pressure.

Ryu nodded toward Empana. This would probably be his limit of improvement. Even if he made it to the ninth layer, there wouldn't be much else to gain.

Well... if his master wasn't Ryu, that is.

But Ryu didn't do much for now, waiting for Selheira to adjust herself. He could sense her other Bloodlines even more clearly now and the faint crystal scales on her cheeks began to radiate various coloured lights.

As they waited, Ryu's lip curled.

This eight layer was indeed quite small.

It was the perfect place to kill.

In just a few moments, he had already sensed Wunikai. He wouldn't let her escape this time.
