Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Sarriel's gaze flickered with rage, her fists clenching. How many years had she wasted in that wasteland? Her cultivation would have progressed so much faster almost anywhere else. If not for her insistence, she may very well have been in the Dao Pedestal Realm already despite her young age.

To make matters worse, because of the weaknesses of the Moon World, it couldn't produce any outstanding treasures that could have helped her cultivation advance by leaps and bounds. So, she had to stay in this cultivation wasteland without anything to supplement her, more than halving what could have been her true cultivation speed, all for it to mean nothing in the end.

She had done so much work, so much research. She found the connection between the Awoken Moon Sect and the Moonlight Blossom Sect. She found the lingering trump cards the Ice Phoenix Clan had left behind. She found that these trump cards were eerily similar to the construction of the Ice Devil Legacy World and made the appropriate connection.

Out of all of this, the only coincidence was that she had run into Ryu. But, this coincidence had only ended up making things easier on her as that fool actually gained some tender emotions from her.

If her pride wasn't so deep, she could have continued to use it and she would have still been there when the most important step of her plan was meant to be taken. But, instead, she was stuck out here without anywhere to go and it left her infuriated to an extreme.

Normally, she wouldn't lose her composure like this, but it was all so important. Without this, she would be stuck in this world and wouldn't be able to leave like she had wanted to. In the end, her future plans would have been ruined, ruined!

What she had done to Ryu could only be considered to be a small setback. But, what Ryu had done to her felt like her heart was being ripped out.

To make matters worse, that bastard had actually mouthed those words to her in the end. 'Your lips tasted good.' How dare he say something like that to her?! She swore that when next she saw him, she would rip his mouth from his face and stuff his tongue down his throat, then she would see if he still had the gall to say such bullshit!

"SCRAM!"

Sarriel shrieked, her palm slamming out in a particular direction. Without even being able to react, a griffin who had been expelled from the Moon World, having strength well into the Tenth Order, shattered into a bloody rain of bone, flesh and blood.

They had all been thrust above the dome of the Moon World, forced to look down upon it through a barrier they were all well aware couldn't be broken in a short time. Even if they brought their Sky Gods here, it would last an innumerable number of years. 

The Ice Phoenixes were all world renowned for the defensive abilities. Even a seal Ryu's mother had formed with the help of the Ice Shrine on a whim had lasted nine cycles of a hundred thousand years. So, how could a seal that the Ice Phoenix Clan had prepared over the course of billions of years possibly be casually broken by just anyone?

This reality only made Sarriel more infuriated, though. So, when she saw that some bastard was actually spying on her, she lashed out instantly, shattering their very being with a palm.

"So weak. This world is so weak. Even your Champions are so weak. Look at me again and I swear I'll slaughter you all! Scram for me! NOW!"

Sarriel's temper flared uncontrollably, lashing out at any and all things.

Those within the Eleventh Order and World Sea Realm watched on with narrowed eyes. They didn't know who this girl was, but that sudden strike was enough for them to be put off. Something like that wouldn't necessarily be easy even for them to do.

At that moment, a chuckle suddenly rang in Sarriel's ears that made her expression turn a frightening shade of cold.

'It seems you're very angry.'

Sarriel's warped expression froze over. Almost instantly, she had returned to her normal baseline. With her pride, there was no way she would allow Ryu to see her throwing a tantrum, nor would she demand anything from him. Since this method had failed, she would just have to find another way. It had only taken her about a thousand years before, wasting another thousand years was nothing.

This was only one of her clues, she could easily find another. Since this easier path had failed, she would just have to go to the Nether World next. If Ryu expected her to beg and plead, he could rot in hell.

Coming to this conclusion, Sarriel turned and stepped into the distance. The turbid and violent qi of space didn't seem to bother her in the slightest. In fact, with her control, it only made her stronger. In a place like this, she wouldn't even fear pinnacle World Sea Realm experts.

Seeing this scene, Ryu smiled.

"What are you all still loitering around here for? You heard the lady, scram!"

A harsh and cold pressure surged, whipping against the bodies of those who still remained and sending them flying off for thousands of miles. Those that were lucky managed to keep their lives. Those that were unlucky froze over into bits and pieces of glass, shattering beneath the violent qi of space.

…

Sarriel shot through the depths of space, her expression dark. But, she suddenly came to a grinding halt, her gaze narrowing.

Up ahead, Ryu stood with his hands clasped behind his back. It was very clearly just a projection, something Sarriel could easily see through with her eyes. This was likely an ability given to the one that controlled the core of the formation that now protected the Moon World. There were various use cases for a controller of a formation to be able to send eyes anywhere quickly within the territory they controlled. Clearly this was one of the more petty cases.

Sarriel didn't say a word and attempted to step by Ryu. A projection like this would have a small bit of power behind it, but not enough for Sarriel to fear. She would rather die than stand here and be humiliated. If Ryu pushed her too far, she would most definitely find a way for revenge he wouldn't like. After all, she was well aware that Ryu wouldn't stay in the Moon World forever.

Ryu shook his head and chuckled, vanishing and appearing before Sarriel again.

"Normal territories range maybe a few hundred to a few thousand miles from the barrier. But, I can tell you that this one extends for hundreds of thousands of miles. So, if you want to fly out of the range, you'll have a long way to go. Want to test it out?"

Sarriel's expression went colder. "Are you trying to make an enemy out of me?"

"Aren't we already enemies? Oh my, don't tell me that your trying to kill me before was just your love language?"

"You've grown more annoying. Your words aren't as funny as you think they are and I can say with great certainty that you were far more attractive before. This word play and teasing game you like to play now is annoying and makes you look more like a boy than a man."

Ryu chuckled. "Is that so? I think this is just perfect for a woman like you, though. You're the last person who should be complaining about another's change in personality, don't you think?"

​ Ryu's smile seemed filled with a meaningful light, but it only made Sarriel's expression colder.

"You know, I was wondering why it was that the Sarriel I met was so different from the real you. In fact, I even wondered at one point if it was that Sarriel that was real and it was you that's fake. But, after so long, I guess it's quite clear that you're the dominant…

"I've never heard of a cultivation technique that can change one's frame of mind and manipulate you into being a completely different person, but who would have thought that such a thing actually existed."

Ryu looked Sarriel up and down.

"It's fascinating. It makes me feel that maybe you were right and that this world truly is too insignificant…

"How about it, young miss? Tell me about your cultivation method and then we can discuss terms regarding the Chaos Plane. You won't be prostituting yourself, you'll just be prostituting your mind and the information stored with.

"So?"

Ryu smiled.

Sarriel's cultivation technique left him more intrigued than anything else ever had. He had never come across something so fascinating.

Sarriel was simply a well of knowledge that Ryu had to tap into. While it would feel good to simply boot her out and get his payback, having to stumble about and figure out things that this woman apparently already knew would be annoying.

Ryu didn't have time to waste, especially not for petty squabbles.
