Even after this, Ryu was still livid. Enough people here had watched what happened at the Title Stele to understand not to cross him. Even if they hadn't, they should have seen what happened before the Title Stele event with his Tribulation for sure.
It had to be rembered that the Title Stele event was for the True Martial World in the first place. The section of Existence it took place in, as a result, was very much close to them although things were a bit off compared to what they would usually be.
As such, even if the Dao Gods here were weaker than the Dao Gods across the universe, they should still have been able to watch what happened.
Others might not know of his relationship with Selheira, but Pyrothos would have most definitely been able to figure it out. And yet, he still acted like this.
It wasn't just a slight, it was the ultimate form of disrespect.
Ryu already realized that they had begun to target him. Did they think that he was soone so easy to deal with?
What were they going to do next? Go after his parents? His master? Sacrum?
Ryu's face suddenly beca eerily calm, the fury that had been on it dissipating into the wind.
"Alright."
That was the only word he said. He looked down at his mother and father-in-law, both of whom were in states that seed at the very edge of death's door.
Veridia opened her maw to say sothing, feeling a scorching heat within her, but Ryu shook his head.
"Don't say a single thing. You are my family."
Veridia's pupils trembled.
Quite frankly, she didn't know how she felt about her daughter marrying a human, much less a human with more than just one wife at that. But the words just now ant a lot.
She had been about to lay down her pride to ask Ryu to help her husband. She knew about his Embryonic Qi as he had used it to help her. In fact, her strength had soared beyond Pyrothos' directly as a result of that.
If it hadn't been for the fact Pyrothos had attacked her while she was trying to establish her Taboo thod, maybe this battle would have gone very differently.
But she also knew that the Embryonic Qi was incredibly precious. If not for the fact her husband was in such a life and death situation, she would have never shalessly asked for such a thing.
Then there was the way Ryu responded.
The deanor couldn't have been clearer. If he had to hold up the skies with a palm, that was exactly what he would do.
With a wave of his hand, it wasn't just a droplet of Embryonic Qi that descended, it was two streaming rivers.
Veridia's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"Take your ti and cultivate. Take advantage of the changes to this land and re-establish your foundations. I know that Dragons are prideful, and I can accept that. But no one touches my family. This revenge, I'll have it myself."
Ryu was about to take a step to leave when Lu'card finally spoke.
"What? Are you just going to ignore ?"
Ryu didn't look back. "I ca across a friend not long ago that I didn't dare to look at because it would an we would have to fight. Do you want to fight?"
"Do you think I fear you?"
"If I turn back now, you'll be leaving here a mount."
"You think I'd lose to a little Lord like you."
"No. You'd lose to a little Quasi Lord like ."
Lu'card bared his teeth and unleashed a roar. The skies shook and Ryu vanished.
Appearing right above Lu'card's head, Ryu stomped down a foot.
BANG!
Sohow it both felt like the world was collapsing, yet being constrained all at once. Solid, unmoving, contained control that transcended the Heavens themselves.
Lu'card's head slamd into the ground, his skull almost flattening into a patty.
However, to Ryu's surprise, he managed to vanish at the last mont.
A gaping wound was left behind in the earth as though an abyss had opened up to swallow him whole.
And then a shadow appeared above.
Lu'card spread his wings out wide, their span dwarfing hundreds of ters. Mighty and looming, blood trickling down in rivers from his scales, his eyes glowed with a silver nace.
Ryu looked up in ti to see a claw that carried the weight of a black hole slamming down toward him. Space bent, twisted, and warped around it until all light vanished, leaving nothing but dense streaks of blackness cutting across the air.
He raised a hand.
BOOM!
Ryu seed to be swallowed up, a claw the size of a mountain falling onto him from overhead.
And yet, the hole beneath him didn't grow any larger.
He held up his arm above his head.
"Not bad," Ryu said lightly.
With a flex of his arm, Ryu's torso rippled with strength. He grabbed onto Lu'card's claw and spun him over his head.
BOOM!
As though a ragdoll, he tossed him around again and again. Every boom should have shattered the plane itself, and yet it remained intact. One would have thought that it was a pair of Transcendents fighting instead.
This was control.
BOOM!
Ryu let Lu'card go.
"Have you had your fun yet?" Ryu asked.
He received a growl in response as Lu'card tried to stand to his feet.
"You should have gone to the Title Stele. Maybe you'd have a better chance."
"I don't need such a thing."
"No. I didn't need such a thing. I only went to prove a point. You, however, are weak. You beca a Sovereign and this is all the strength you have?"
Lu'card roared and lunged, but the result was just the sa.
"Alright, be obedient. Since you wanted this fight, I gave it to you. Now you have to pay the consequences for wasting ti I could have spent killing. Co. I have heads to take."
Ryu knew that Lu'card wouldn't obey, but he also had no intention of going easy on him. If anything, this would only make Lu'card feel more insulted.
In that case…
A blooming line of chains took shape, wrapping around Lu'card's neck.
Ryu pulled hard, snapping his head up.
