Chapter 2026 Impossible
Ryu felt the changes.
As expected, on the surface, there wasn't much. But he also realized something else when he began.
It wasn't just that it had never really been difficult for him to break through the Dao Ceiling, but it was also the fact he had two "Dao Hearts" inside of him.
His body wasn't used to using his original Dao Heart the way it was meant to. In addition, his Spiritual Foundation wasn't in the location it was supposed to be in.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
On top of that, there were two "Godhoods" pulling for his attention, one formed in his White Phoenix Spiritual Foundation and the second formed in his Beyond Perfect Extreme Spiritual Foundation.
'Is this what I was missing?"
A reflective light shone in Ryu's eyes. At that moment, his Clear Mirror Dao Heart seemed to have layered over his pupils, making his eyes seem far more reflective than they had in the past.
Usually, his Silver Irises were forgettable. It wasn't just because they were more like a dull and muted grey most of the time, but it was also that his Pupils themselves were attracting so much attention.
Even when others didn't notice it, his Heavenly Pupils were always there, and they would obviously detract from any beauty that his irises might have had.
But at that moment, it looked like his eyes had gained two blazing silver stars to them. 'I see... It's so obvious when I think about it now... how could I have missed this?'
There was a reason the Dao Heart was called the Dao Heart. It was the center of your cultivation, the Spiritual Foundation that held up all things.
In that case... how could it not incorporate your Dao...
And your Control.
The world shuddered around Ryu and solidified. His will manifested into a tangible form, and his Lord Control took such a large step forward that Adlael and the three-pupiled woman took a step back, almost mistaking Ryu's momentum for someone who had just broken into the Sovereign Realm.
However, the reality was that Ryu's cultivation hadn't changed in the slightest.
He waved a hand and time froze.
Adlael was trying to escape, but by the time he realized what was happening, it was too late.
He looked down in horror to find that Ryu had an arm through his chest.
"Im... possible..."
Who didn't know how hard it was to control time? To completely grind time to a stop in a world this powerful, and against an opponent who was a Realm above you...
That was completely unheard of.
Even those races with great elemental affinity... simply couldn't... do this...
"Oh? You don't have protections on you? A shame," Ryu said lightly as though he didn't
really care whether Adlael was going to live or die.
In the end, he had died just as pitifully as his brother did.
However, as he was dying, Ryu sensed something odd and waved a hand.
Adlael's spatial ring shot into Ryu's palms.
Normally, Ryu wouldn't be bothered with the items of his enemies after their deaths.
But he realized a while ago that he was missing out on quite a bit of wealth.
Even compared to those moments, though, this felt different.
