Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 2110  Ten (2)

The Sentinel no longer spoke.

It was clear that it wasn't lying earlier when it said that it had only done so for Sacrum's sake. As for Ryu himself, it didn't seem to care.

Ten moves?

What a joke.

The Sentinel's aura shook and its fist seemed to blur through Ryu's.

BANG!

The Sentinel was sent flying.

Just when it thought that it would collapse Ryu's chest, Ryu's own fist reached it first somehow.

It couldn't even properly orient itself before Ryu was upon it again.

The Sentinel spun in the air, its heel cutting across the skies like a vicious scythe. But it passed right through the location of Ryu's body as though it wasn't there at all.

An afterimage.

BANG!

The Sentinel was hit from below, sending it spiraling into the skies above.

Ryu took a step, icy flowers blooming beneath his feet. His arms and hands moved as though flowing through forms of Tai Chi, however one hand formed an Eastern Dragon snaking through the skies while the other shifted between the variations of Phoenixes that had existed in this world.

Ryu's blood churned in his body as he ran through his Martial Forms and suddenly punched out.

ROAR!

His fist seemed to unleash Dragon's Roar. The billowing might caused tsunami-like ripples through the dense dark clouds above.

BOOM!

The open maw of the Dragon bit right through the Sentinel.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The reverberating echoes of nine Revolutions left concentric circles of might pulsing across the clouds above. And every one of those echoes ripped through the Sentinel's body, causing cracks to appear across its armor.

Ryu's body seemed to reach a deeper state of calm as he continued to move through his Martial Forms. His hands flowed like water, his feet as steady as mountains. Every step he took, a new flower appeared beneath his feet, but at the start, it was a path of ice, but now it had become one of fire.

The world solidified beneath Ryu's might as the Sentinel hacked up blood. It tried to change positions and move, but something about Ryu's movements seemed to have checkmated it. All of its routes forward were cut off, leaving nothing more than a single path where Ryu's fist lay in waiting.

There was a pulse of clear light that came from Ryu's Dao Heart and the entire world sparkled in wonder beneath his majesty.

As though a painting being drawn across the skies, every movement of Ryu's was in tune with the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavens that were supposedly enraged with him…

Could only prostrate.

BOOM!

Ryu appeared high above the Sentinel after knocking it up so high that it almost re-entered the Tribulation Clouds.

He smashed down a palm that pulsed with the weight of the world. The resplendent light of his Dao Heart resonating with his Jadebound Clearheart Bone Structure and tapping into the strongest of the Earth Qi in the world.

His palm seemed to suddenly expand just before he hit the Sentinel, a beautiful, reflective jade earth that shimmered like diamond taking shape.

The Sentinel was sent flying back, moving so fast that flames didn't even have the chance to form around its body until long after it had hit the Earth.

In the path it had taken, streaking fires formed as Ryu's Control forcefully kept the Laws from collapsing.

These flames convulsed and were suddenly sucked into Ryu's flowers as he took another step, ascending higher into the skies.

At that moment, the Tribulation Clouds were still rippling violently. But as Ryu's Martial Form's dance began to be executed beneath its waves, it felt as though it was beginning to move to the cadence of Ryu's own movements.

Ryu entered an even deeper state of focus.

Breath of World.

The Sentinel burst out from the ground, its body littered with cracks, but its aura no less valiant. In fact, it seemed to have tapped into a long-lost fury, roaring up to the skies above.

Ripples of dark gold made the formations that Ryu had formed look as though they were about to collapse. But even as they continued to sway beneath the Sentinel's roars, it was as though they began to move to its rhythm as well.

Soon, it had matched the Sentinel's resonance, and it no longer looked erratic or as though it would collapse at any moment. Instead… it felt like the Sentinel was only giving it more power.

Ryu's Azure Cloud Vein Bone Structure thrummed with life as the Tribulation Clouds entered a perfect resonance with him as well.

And then Ryu punched down.

It was a fist that was hard to describe because it didn't feel like a fist at all. It instead felt like the world was furious with the Sentinel. It, a Heavenly Warrior, was actually despised by the world it had given everything to protect.

The first fist drove the Sentinel back into the ground, boring a hole so deep that it couldn't even be seen to the depths of the Sky Gods themselves.

However, oddly enough, the earth didn't overturn, nor did mountains in the distance collapse. Ryu's Control was so perfect that nothing but what was in the direct line of his fist was damaged.

And then the second fist descended.

The Sentinel was driven even further down, its body long collapsed, and its existence no longer detectable by the masses.

But Ryu's senses weren't so easily fooled. In fact, his third fist never stopped at all.

The flowers of various elements around him finally bloomed, forming a complex formation high in the skies that churned and then fused with the Heavenly Tribulation.

Ryu's final fist clenched as he pierced down.

Rippling waves formed around his knuckles as his Control showed the first signs of wavering, but this didn't last long before the elements combined into a gauntlet of radiant gold.

BOOM!

Ryu's fist tore through the Sentinel and the Seventh Heaven.

The citizens of the Sixth and Seventh Heaven watched on in horror as a Heavenly Warrior was shredded to ash.
