Ryu flicked his wrist and the blood that had coated him was flung into the surroundings, suddenly leaving him spotless and without the slightest hint of a blemish.

He took a step forward and his Founding Dao flourished. Suddenly, under the astonished gazes of all those present, he rose into the skies as though he was stepping upon Heaven's staircase. His white and sky blue robes fluttered in the wind, moving with his whipping hair.

This scene had far more impact on those watching than even Ryu could have guessed.

This was the Ninth Heaven. The skies were the Domain of the Dao Gods. There was simply no other individual who could complete this feat, and those with the right to witness such a thing could likely be counted on both one's hands.

And yet, this youth they had never heard of, acted with a casualness that belayed the arrogance in his gaze. He seemed to look down upon the world, his haughty gaze and resplendent Dao Heart akin to what only the greatest geniuses of the Ninth Heaven could possibly match up to.

He was the King here.

Janus' mother was shaken for a moment before her fury returned.

"Who are you? You are not Elena's husband."

She wanted to say many more words about Elena, but she didn't dare to. Calling Elena a bitch or a whore would disparage her husband's name, and that wasn't something she could afford to do, nor was she willing to do so.

Ryu's laughter suddenly caused the clouds to rumble. He laughed so heartily one would have thought that he had heard the greatest joke in the world.

How could he not understand what this woman wanted to do? She thought that he definitely wasn't Elena's husband, so by mentioning the fact that one existed, she thought that he could make him turn on his own wife. But...

Wasn't she a little too stupid?

"My wife's name is Elena Tatsuya. Do you have any more questions?"

The skies shook as the twin trigram diagrams in Ryu's eyes sparkled with a shimmer and gleam. His momentum continued to climb as the words slowly sunk in, the Tatsuya name striking them like thunder.

"I've heard that the Martial Gods have had quite a time, thinking to themselves to be great, suppressing my wife and treating her like she was someone without protection.

"Today... you'll pay for that."

Sashi, Janus' mother, was slowly regaining her calm. This Ryu was exceptionally good at pressing down upon their weaknesses and making them squirm. She could even feel a subtle down pressing on her courage, trying to crush it into minced meat and suppress her to the point she couldn't even raise her head.

It was only now she truly understood that power of a Founding Dao of legends.

However, after realizing that Ryu had the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth Pupils... it all seemed to make sense.

If the owner of these eyes couldn't form a Founding Dao...

Then who could?

If only she knew that Ryu's Founding Dao had been formed before his eyes were unsealed. As for what he could accomplish with them finally back at his beck and call...

Well, it seemed that many scurrying lab rats had run to his front door to give him the chance to find out.

"You--"

"I've grown bored of this. Little Silk."

WHOOSH!

Sashi and the older woman from the Beast Mimicry Sect suddenly felt a great cold shiver run through their spines. It felt like countless icy daggers, so thin they couldn't even see it with their naked eyes, had appeared around them. If they moved even the slightest inch, they would be crushed.

BANG!

At that moment, the silent young man who had a silent, brewing rage in his eyes, suddenly waved a hand, shattered the shroud of hidden ice needles.

From the very beginning, Ryu had directly ignored him as though he wasn't even worthy of his time. This infuriated him, but not more than the supposed death of his sister.

Mysteries of Heaven and Earth Pupils? So what? He hadn't come here when he sensed Heaven's Gate for the sake of bowing and scraping, he had come to see if a mere Seventh Ranked Heavenly Pupil was even worthy of him taking action.

Founding Dao? What worth did it have at the True God Realm? Was it better than his own Ancient Dao of a far superior level?

His Dao Heart shone in his chest like a furious ember. No one could make him lower his head.

"You'll pay for this."

He moved without another word, not introducing himself, not even asking for Ryu's name. None of it mattered to him.

He struck out with a fist that made the world lose color.

Ryu shifted a gaze over. The world seemed slow to him, moving in frames per second instead of a smooth cadence. He saw so many flaws in the fist in an instant that he almost felt lazy.

A beast tamer attacking a close combat expert like him with a fist? Was he really so arrogant?

Ryu stretched out a palm, his Cosmos Fog stirring as his body weight increased hundreds of fold in an instant.

BANG!

A clap of echoing thunder rang. It sounded like they had nestled within one another, layering and booming out with a sudden violent cadence.

Ryu towered over the young man, unmoving in the skies as the latter was sent flying backward. Compared to Ryu who was controlling his own flight, the young man was only relying on a flying treasure.

He stood no chance in such a confrontation even if one disregarded that beast tamers had no such close combat skills.

He thought himself a genius who could overwhelm Ryu regardless of the field...

Unfortunately, he was mistaken.

The young man barely caught his balance, his flying treasure teetering in the air.

His face twisted with embarrassment and rage.

"Idiot." Ryu spoke without the slightest hint of respect. "How about you try and take out your beasts instead."
