Chapter 1783 Fiend Path

1783 Fiend Path

Ryu's purpose was simple. He needed to truly understand the Fiend Race. Not just memories, and not just a casual facade either.

His Beyond Perfect Extreme Spiritual Foundation might be able to fool them, but who was to say that it would fool someone much higher up on the food chain?

He didn't care if he was exposed by weak Sky Gods. But if it was a Dao Lord that caught onto his scent, he would be screwed and die before he was even aware of what happened to him.

'Fascinating...'

He felt that he had a strong understanding of the paths of beasts, humans and demons, but he didn't expect that there would be yet another specialty in the world.

This time, it seemed that if human and beasts were direct opposites, then in this case Fiends and the Faeries of the Ethereal Plan were opposites.

The Faeries were also heavily reliant on the elements, but they relied on their souls and were practically identical to Wraiths in this respect. Their bodies, if they even had them, were secondary. When they left the Ethereal Plane, many of them had difficulty affecting change.

The Fiends, however, were entirely reliant on their bodies. They didn't even seem to have souls in the normal sense as the elements themselves became their Incorporeal Souls, as though they were replacing a vital function of their bodies with communication with the outside world.

If Ryu was correct, then a powerful Fiend of the same element could kill another just by cutting off their communication with the element of their choosing. They wouldn't even have to lift a finger.

Realizing this, Ryu didn't even need to go into Fiend society to know that they had a very strict hierarchal structure. There was no way that someone of lower standing would ever risk offending someone of a higher standing.

Even in the case someone stronger than you didn't decide to strangle you to death like that, just being in their presence would weaken your element.

This was actually quite good news for Ryu. It meant that even without taking his Chaotic Silk Meridians into account, just with his Beyond Perfect Extreme Spiritual Foundation, he could challenge those of a much higher level than himself. Well, so long as the environment was also in his favor.

He ultimately didn't have the same skills and techniques of the Fiend Race. So trying to truly cut them off from their elements when the environment didn't allow it would be very difficult.

Still, this was just the tip of the iceberg. There was something else that Ryu was curious about.

However, he realized quickly that he didn't have time to waste on this.

Now that he understood the Fiend Race perfectly, his aura began to change.

He slipped on a black bodysuit that covered his entire body and he clenched his fists. Quickly, his hair was replaced by a dancing stream of radiant blue lightning.

He pulled some Sovereign Chaos Lightning Qi from his Meridians and pooled it into the lightning as well, tinging it with hints of black gold.

This wasn't the first time he had pulled such a weak qi from his Meridians, so he was used to it.

As a final step, his eyes turned into a sea of lightning as well.

The eyes of the three Fiends widened when they saw this. It wasn't because Lightning Fiends were rare, though this was the case, but rather because Ryu's change only meant one thing...

Either he was hiding the fact he was a Fiend Childe for some reason, or he was never a Fiend to begin with!

Ryu vanished from the inner world after this.

His body began to flicker with an armor formed by his Lightning God Talent. Much like the Fiends, it flickered in an out of existence.

At the same time, a pair of qilins horns flickered in an out of existence on his forehead as well.

This flickering was probably the most fascinating part of the Fiend Race's existence, but Ryu didn't have the time to care about this right now.

He needed to find a path to cross the barrier and return to the Real Plane.

...

In a distant castle, a beauty with sparkling red eyes and a river of gold for hair looked up, her heart skipping a beat inexplicably.
