Ryu was imrsed in a blazing aura that spiraled into the skies. His Realm Heart had already acted, taking this world and pushing it toward absolute perfection. Let alone being of the Omniscient Grade, only a rare few God Grade Holy Worlds could match up to it.
However, even as he was imrsed in this aura, Ryu didn't seem to care about it much at all. In fact, he was still focused on the Holy Worlds he needed.
'Lightning... Earth... Space... Ti..."
These were what he needed, but Ryu wasn't sure if he could even find a Holy World of Space and
Ti.
After strong-arming Star River into not wasting his ti anymore, he managed to find out the location of everything he needed, and he also got the order from above to enter them all.
Unfortunately, there were none of Space and Ti.
Ryu had been hoping to knock everything out in one go, but it seed that he wasn't so lucky. Still, he wasn't quite convinced.
It had to be rembered that technically speaking, Space and Ti weren't the rarest elents, but rather the most common. They were the only elents that one could learn to control so long as their cultivation was high enough. There was no other elent quite like that.
The reason Ryu's Spaceti Soul Nature was so amazing, though, was that even if you learned to control the two, you could easily be overwheld by soone with higher affinity.
When Ryu had this mont of enlightennt, he realized that he was using his Spaceti Soul Nature incorrectly. Rather than trying to use Space and Ti like everyone else, he needed to take advantage of his Soul Nature to add complexities that the superficial control of others couldn't match.
When he had this breakthrough, the effectiveness of his Spaceti Soul Nature in battle
skyrocketed, and he had even been able to fool the eyes of Lords who, presumably, already had great. control of space.
This was all to say that there should be no reason for this world to not have Spaceti Worlds. If anything, they should be the most common.
So why did they believe that there weren't any?
If Ryu was correct, this was a matter not of them not existing, but rather them not being able to find
it
If he treated the Spaceti Holy Worlds of this world the sa way his own Soul Nature could be compared to the natural progression of Spaceti control amongst cultivators, then it made so
sense.
It should be a combination of the worlds appearing easily, and yet not being able to be found by those with weaker Spaceti affinity.
If Ryu was correct... he would have to rely on himself to find these worlds and clear them.
Depending on how things went, that could either make things far easier, or far more difficult.
Regardless, he would clear the Lightning and Earth Holy Worlds first. Only then would he go and find this potentially hidden Spaceti world.
But first....
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Ryu's aura began to change. Translucent scales rushed down his skin, flas and winds spiraling through his veins.
Ryu, who was already mind-numbingly powerful in body, suddenly had a qualitative change in his aura once again.
His body's foundation was being excavated with every passing mont, the insights he gained from the Holy World flooding into his body.
He forgot about everything else, diligently cultivating as though there was no one who would try to kill him.
Why would he be worried at all? Even if there wasn't. Little Silk... didn't he have a Dao God for a little wife?
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The echo of Ryu's heartbeat shattered the space around him.
The sound of his blood rushing through his veins reminded them of geysers, the creaking of his bones and snapping of his tendons booming like thunder.
Three days later, Ryu's eyes slowly opened, wild cracks in space flashing like lightning around him. He flexed his muscles once and a booming cadence ca from him once again.
Many in the surroundings were shaken. Was this the kind of body a Transcended could have? Even if most had already seen through the fact he had an Omniscent Realm body, it still felt far too powerful. Even God Lingtian didn't have such a powerful body when he was in the Omniscent Realm... right? Ryu's gaze cleared and he looked over to find that Hope had, indeed, had to appear. But after she had, the Fiends had long since scattered and there was no one left to threaten him.
At this point, the Fey didn't dare to do anything, not when Ailsa's decree had already co down. But the shock in their hearts was imnse.
This was the third...
In the last hundreds of years, there were probably a dozen total Holy Worlds that had been cleared. But now, Ryu had cleared three in just a quarter century.
What they didn't know was that it was just the beginning.
He took Hope's hand and then stepped onto Little Silk's back before vanishing.
---
The news seed to co in waves. It wasn't just a matter of clearing Holy Worlds, but it was the implication.
Could one person even have so many affinities? Didn't you need to match the Holy World to have a chance of clearing it? So why didn't Ryu follow these words?
But that was still only the beginning.
That was because with every world Ryu stepped into, he would ultimately run into geniuses. And every ti, there would only be a single outco: death.
The Fire-Wind Holy World was relatively simpler. This was because Fire, Wind, Earth, and Water were the most common of the Holy Worlds. As a result, most geniuses would choose to go to a dedicated world.
A dual world might be a great boon for Ryu, but to Fiends who were practically cursed if they were born with more than one affinity, and for Faeries and Fey who usually had one dominant attribute as well, it was nothing more than a hindrance.
As such, the concentration of geniuses in the Fire-Wind Holy World was relatively low. There were just two Sub-Heaven geniuses.
There did exist a Lightning-Earth Holy World that Ryu could have gone to. But not only was this Lightning-Earth Holy World in Fiend territory... it would have been far too boring.
So instead, Ryu went to an Omniscent Grade Lightning Holy World and that was when his carnage truly began to be unleashed.
17 Sub-Heaven geniuses died on top of the death of the number 91 and 97th ranked Heaven genius. When this news was disseminated, especially when it was recalled that Ryu was only in the Transcended Realm, it was sothing that shook the very foundation of this chaotic world...
And then Ryu actually got stronger.
He incorporated the Lightning Holy World into his Body Realm cultivation technique and his aura skyrocketed once again.
For every elent he added, his strength didn't increase linearly, but rather exponentially. And the closer he got to completion, the more exaggerated the leap was.
His aura was so powerful at this point that in terms of sheer Body Realm cultivation alone, he was already nearing the best of the absolute best.
This didn't refer to just a single world, or a single corner of Existence... it was a asurent of all
of Existence.
No matter how strong the world, no matter how powerful the background, the talent, Ryu's body was
as strong as any other Omniscent Realm Body to exist currently, to have ever existed in the past, or
would ever exist in the future.
And yet... he still wasn't done.
Ryu entered an Earth Holy World soon afterward.
No one knew where his next targets would be, and every ti he appeared, he seed to vanish without a trace in the next instant. Also, news that he had a Dao God as a Dao Protector following him around made many extrely cautious with how they would approach this matter.
That was when Ryu entered the world.
Just half a day passed.
32 Sub-Heaven geniuses fell. Then ca the 83rd, the 72nd, and the 69th ranked geniuses.
They fell like weeds at his hands.
No one ever personally saw Ryu take action, at least not closely. Most of this news ca from the unlucky Fey, Faeries, and Naturals that had their worlds basically taken away from them by Ryu. All the glory, all the benefits, all the strength was concentrated onto his body alone. When Ryu incorporated the Earth elent into his Body Realm cultivation thod, the skies
overturned.
Tribulation Clouds so massive they put most Lord Realm Tribulations to sha appeared.
Thunder cracked and rumbled, and yet Ryu continued to sit in silence high in the skies, breathing in
the delicate scent of rain.
The first bolt of lightning fell from on high, but soon after, there ca a scythe of wind, then a pillar
of earth, a blade of light, and a suffocating fog of darkness.
A multi-colored light painted the skies, crushing Ryu from above.
This ti, he couldn't just casually dismiss it all with his Lightning God Talent...
