Chapter 1477 Gone
Adlael might not have gained much from the Heavenly Path, but this boon would be the greatest of his life. The irony was that it had happened thanks to Ryu Tatsuya... But his will to kill the latter hadn't diminished in the slightest. In fact, with his will now being akin to tempered steel, his murderous intent was even thicker. Finally, he reached down and peeled the mask off of his master's face. What he saw left him stunned.
Primus waved out a hand, thick Karmic Strings that had attempted to kill Ryu in a single swipe were crushed.
'Oh? I didn't kill them?'
Primus raised an eyebrow. Just now, something had attempted to use Karma to kill Ryu, and he had obviously stepped in to stop it. The real problem was that this person, despite only having the aura of a Dao Lord, had been able to evade his detection and preserve their life. Of course, he was also fairly certain that this person was still heavily injured, but he found it to be very impressive. He had remembered this person's aura. If he saw them one day, maybe he might choose to experiment on them as well. Whoever this person was would most definitely be a part of a powerful organization with powerful means, but since when had he, Primus Tatsuya, cared about such things?
...
At the same time, down below, even as he continued to rush forward, Ryu frowned. He had sensed something odd and uncomfortable just now, but it had vanished as quickly as it appeared. Even so, his senses were too sharp. Whoever had attempted to do this might have been talented, but they were a true fool. Ryu's Fate Star was completely bound by Divine Chains, likely set upon him by a true powerhouse of the Dao Gods. Trying to then use karma to kill him was akin to attempting to bypass the restrictions of this Dao God. Even if this person was a Dao God themselves, they would have experienced an unprecedented backlash, and they were likely very much dead.
This was a shame, though. Ryu really wanted to know who this was and under normal circumstances, he could have used his eyes to follow the Lines of Karma and locate this person even if Primus had intervened. But now, mostly in thanks to his attunement with the Heavens, he could barely sense where this person was coming from, only just enough to tell that they were indeed on the Seventh Heaven, but nothing more.
'Never mind, there are a ton of people who want to kill me. Let them come. At least for the next ten years, I have a convenient body guard.'
Ryu stepped into a land impossibly sharp winds. This was obviously reminiscent of one of the Heavenly Winds, but this wasn't Ryu's target. Instead, it was something else entirely.
Within the detailed plans of the Heavens, there was a mentioned of a Whistling Wind Sky God.
The Whistling Wind Sky God was an individual whose main weapon was a flute. He combined the Daos of Music and Wind into a deadly dance, but in the end, he had only managed to become a Perfect Sky God. He was deserving of reverence only because he had actually traveled the road of Sky God, but not enough for most to just take a knee, especially in a place like the Seventh Heaven where powerhouses were truly everywhere.
The Ruin of the Whistling Wind Sky God was within this valley. And though this place was dangerous to most, Ryu's Northern Heavenly Wind was satisfactory that he was just fine.
It was also then that he felt another benefit of the golden runes that followed his every movement aside from speeding up his cultivation speed. When he looked at the world before him, he felt more in tune with his Northern Heavenly Wind than he ever had before.

Ryu's gaze sparkled as he noticed this, and he even began to feel a sort of giddiness before he refocused himself. It took several hours, but Ryu eventually made it to the center of the valley. If anyone else was witnessing this other than Primus, they would have been stunned silent. A World Sea Realm expert truly had no business making it to the core of this valley.
Although this place was relatively lowly ranked on the list of dangerous zones of this Heaven, it was ultimately still a danger zone of the Seventh Heaven. This was a place even True Sky Gods would struggle with, but Ryu had managed to create a path toward its center.
In this region, the rustling of the robust trees and the grass beneath his feet, buffeted by these strong winds, truly sounded akin to the chimes of nature. A beautiful chorus played in his ears but they sounded... off.nOVe/Lb(1n
Ryu was a master of the Four Arts, so his musicality was beyond that of most people. While these might sound beautiful to a layman, every the time signature was in an odd 4/9 beat progression and it felt just barely out of balance with the Heavens themselves.
He took a step forward and he traced the root of it before landing before a single tree. The tree seemed to be the weakest of them all, with the thinnest trunk, and yet it had the most unbending will.
Ryu reached a hand forward and placed his hand down. Seconds later, he vanished.
'A Ruin? No, a Legacy World. Interesting.' Primus thought from above. He felt that Ryu was definitely up to something. Although he knew his great grandson was an outstanding Ruin Master, even the best Ruin Masters couldn't just find these places out of thin air. He should have researched ahead of time. But how had he researched on the Seventh Heaven when this was the first time he had come here?
Primus vanished in the next instant.
This Ancestral Realm was limited to just World Sea Realm experts, and it even received the help of the Heavens to ensure that it would remain this way, but what did he care? Could a Perfect Sky God, even with Heavenly intervention, stop him?
But when he entered the Legacy World...
Ryu was unexpectedly gone.
