Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 2064 Changes

Ryu ignored the entirety of the rest of the world, his thoughts consumed by two things. Well, he would have liked for there to be a third, but Little Gem's existence didn't even give him the chance to think about it.

The little one refused to leave his side, and though he had the power to just lock her away in some corner, how could he do that? After she had given up so much to be with him, he could only oblige. He might be a hypocrite, but he had a place in his heart for those that stuck by his side, and Little Gem no doubt fit that bill.

Plus... although Little Gem had given up all of her cultivation, there was something that told Ryu that she wasn't as hopeless and fragile as she looked. So without a choice, Ryu could only slash women off of his list and turn his attention to the other two matters.

The first was a method to return to the True Martial World.

Luckily, this issue was fixed quite swiftly. He hardly had to think about it because the moment he succeeded in his mission, the Dream Wraith existences had sensed it as well. They didn't speak to him, but he could feel the shifts of fate in the air. He could tell that soon, they would provide him a path to return to where he had come from.

Since that situation was handled, he could just wait and focus on the second thing that had his attention.

The changes to his body.

In truth, like Ryu had thought earlier, he had had this idea in his mind for a while. It was among the methods his Dao Heart and Perfect Blackbody had created while he was meditating, though only peripherally.

They had been more focused on crafting Dao Methods and techniques of the like, whereas this was far beyond just that. However, his Dao Heart had created a technique that he couldn't use at the time that was quite good and relied on similar principles. As such, by extension, they had thought of this method.

But Ryu hadn't wanted to follow through on it.

The reason for that was obvious. It relied too much on the Phoenix Sky God's Spiritual Foundation. Without it, he would never be able to do this because no matter how much beast blood he had in his body, he was ultimately a human. Nothing could change that.

But now...

Ryu sat in silent meditation, the broken bones in his arm slowly mending themselves. As he did so, he could feel the changes to his body more subtly and nuanced.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

His Ice Jade Crystal Body had indeed become the new foundation of his body, shining

with a resplendent diamond color. But it was the Dao Runes etched right into it that truly gave it a shimmering sort of gorgeous mystery.

The Ashen Flameheart Lotus, the Ninefold Frostback, the Azure Cloud Vein, the Jadebound Clearheart, the Eternal Dawn, the Darkmoon Veil, the Nine Revolution Skybreaker, the Empyrean Warframe, and the Boundless Cosmos Bone Structures all weaved together in a rainbow of colors that danced between dark and light, bright and faded.

The etchings in his bones seemed alive, and most even seemed to be swimming within their crystalline depths as though soaking themselves in a spring of life.

The sheer power that this new Bone Structure gave Ryu was truly shocking, but he knew that he had only been using it in its rawest form during his battle with that Heavenly Court genius.

He had yet to truly exploit the power of his Bone Structure. In fact, he had yet to even name it.

Of course.... he already had a name in mind. But when that name would be revealed was another matter entirely.

The first thing Ryu could feel was that his Bloodlines were finally, well and truly, entirely under his control. He could not only access the full array of Talents within, but he could use them to the fullest extent of their powers without worrying about the issue of suppression or clashing.

It didn't matter whether it was his Fire Dragon Bloodline or his Phoenix Bloodline; they were all like clay putty in his palms, being molded, shaped, and warped to his views.

The second thing he noticed was that he not only had access to these Talents... but they were also made far more powerful by his Dao Bones.

He didn't even cast it, but when he moved just his thoughts alone to his Rage Flame, he could feel the Dao Runes of the Ashen Flameheart Lotus Bone Structure flaring up. The Heavens responded, and the Talent was amplified twice over.

When the Lightning Seed in his third eye shifted, the Dao Runes of his Nine Revolution Skybreaker Bone Structure rumbled, lightning sparking around him.

That was when Ryu realized something profound. It wasn't that he had just gained access to his full array of Bloodlines after so long. It was like he had become an entirely new species of beast entirely. The world itself was bowing to his will with every action he made.

But these were only the changes made to his Bloodlines. Honestly speaking, they were the simplest and most straightforward of the changes. The most complicated of the changes would actually be the synergy and relationship between the Bone Structures. And namely, that of the Empyrean Warframe and Boundless Cosmos Bone Structures

paired with everything else.

Ryu's Bone Structures now fell into two categories, the elemental Bone Structures and the non-elemental Bone Structures. His Boundless Cosmos Bone Structure was sort of in an in-between state, but Ryu still chose to firmly place it in the non-elemental. That was because its abilities were related to matters that were far more than just space and time.

That said... the third thing Ryu noticed was precisely related to that. Each and every one of his elements seemed to have gained a spacetime nature to them.
