1130 Three Inheritances
Ryu didn't know the full details like Aantha did, but he had some faint guesses. At the very least, although Aantha was attacking him right now technically, he didn't really feel any maliciousness despite feeling...maliciousness. It was hard to explain, but at the very least, he could see through the first layer of her intentions.
The Ryu of just a few days ago would have already been ruined, or at the very least, his soul would have been riddled with injuries. Mae was one of the very few in the Fourth to Sixth Heavens with a soul talent at least somewhat comparable to his own, and at the same time, she had access to a very vulnerable part of his.
However, the current Ryu was the successor of the Magus Sky God. He had already put up the first iteration of his Magus Lock, so while his Spiritual Sea rippled with waves, these waters simply crashed against his tall stone walls, leaving little to no damage at all, and any that did appear was repaired in the blink of an eye.
Ryu looked back toward Mae.
At that moment, she was wreathed in ruby-like sparkling flames. They looked almost like fluttering crystals than an actual fire. Even so, Ryu could almost feel the heat from where he stood.
She looked toward him like a dom looking toward a submissive. The way she licked her lips made it seem like she wanted to bend him over her knee and leave his ass red and swollen.
Of course, these were images she seemed to project into his mind through her soul attacks. In fact, as thought she wasn't satisfied with just this, she then sent him images of her tail going up unsavory places. Seeing such a thing, Ryu could only shake his head. He didn't think that after Elena, he would find another sex crazed maniac.
What was he now? Three for six? Four for Six? No, probably five for six. Of his women, Eska was probably the only normal one.
Yaana looked innocent, but was a wild freak in bed. Ailsa was so sensitive that she began speaking in tongues just a few strokes in. Elena spoke for herself... she was probably the only virgin nymphomaniac to ever exist. Isemeine was an odd character because she seemed to have a fetish for pretending like she hated it, before becoming as pliable as fabric. And now there was Mae who apparently... wanted to peg him?
The others he could allow, but this one was most definitely not happening.
After meeting Mae's fiery passion for a while, Ryu's lip curled.
Within his Mental Realm, his pitch black soul was suddenly enveloped by a radiated crimson scaled armor. It snaked over his body before clicking over his head like a helmet. In that moment, the scaled armor took the form of a dragon's head.
This was none other than Ryu's Dragon Soul. After meditating on the Magus Sky God's inheritance, the methods he had in applying his soul strength and talents was on a completely different level.
At that moment, the jaws of the dragon opened and roared.
''BE OBEDIENT, WOMAN!''
The voice boomed. As the sounds echoed, the raging waters of Ryu's Spiritual Sea were suddenly ground flat.
In the distance, Mae felt a shudder go through her body. The passion in her eyes grew, but her expression became far more docile. Behind her, her wings and tail continued to quiver as she bit her lip, lamenting the distance. But in the end, she was indeed forced to calm down.
This interaction between Ryu and Mae was obviously not missed. Even if one was socially inept enough not to understand the look in Mae's eyes, there was no doubting the potent aphrodisiac coming from her. The Dream Asura race women could only release such a thing in a single situation.
Vie's expression was incomparably ugly. Those men, like Akura, who were much less blatant in their pursuit of Mae but still had such intentions in their heart could only glare as well. But there was absolutely nothing they could do as Ryu looked back to focus on his inheritance.
To Ryu's earlier surprise, this was a Wind Elemental Inheritance. Much like the fire inheritance before, he was caught off guard by its existence. The further up one went along the star path, the less elemental inheritances there seemed to be, or more accurately, the less common elemental inheritances there seemed to be. These common elements were, of course, the main four, water, fire, earth and wind. Lightning, light, darkness, and the like, were far rarer.
After Ryu began meditating on it though, he realized that it was a bit simple minded to call it a mere Wind Elemental Inheritance. More accurately, it was a Death Wind Elemental Inheritance which relied on a very specific type of elemental wraith.
Ever since Ryu had come to the True Martial World, most of his necromancer abilities had become useless. He didn't expect to come across his first Summoner Necromancer in this place. What was more interesting, though, was that this Summoner Necromancer seemed to be only capable of summoning this very particular demon. Even so, they had grown to the level of a Transcended Sky God.
''Interesting.''
The summoning method was valuable in and of itself, but the methods by which this necromancer used the summoned wraiths was even more valuable than that.
Ryu nodded to himself and opened his eyes. His gaze turned sharp as he looked toward the path ahead and his will became a towering sword that pierced toward the skies.
Ryu roared again and shot forward like a ball out of a canon, slicing through the pressure with all the strength he could muster.
As Ryu vanished over the distance, the geniuses left behind could only grind their teeth. It seemed that there was simply no chance remaining for them. Jenneless could only grip her fists.
...
Over the horizon, Ryu realized that there was only one choice remaining before he reached the Dao Lord. He was about to lament the fact he hadn't found a Body Realm cultivation technique yet when his gaze suddenly lit up.
There were three inheritances here, one soul inheritance, one qi inheritance and one body inheritance. It seemed that he was in luck!
Right then, Ryu's gaze suddenly narrowed.
There was actually a person who made it here before him.
Standing under the baptism of the qi inheritance, trying to claim it for himself, was Starlight. Somehow, he had made it here, everyone forgetting about his presence entirely.
