Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 1885  Change

He had no ability to uproot or take the Shrines of Sacrum, they were far too unfathomable even to his current self.

However, this replica… with the support of this world…

He certainly could. Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

In fact, Ryu had a bolder idea than even that.

With a thought, he began to use the power of the world to draw the Shrine into himself. Because of the Feng Shui diagram he had set up, the Shrine mistook him as part of the world and didn\'t even resist at all.

At that moment, it suddenly vanished and appeared within Ryu\'s world, but he wasn\'t satisfied with this alone.

The natural treasures in Ryu\'s Realm Heart, swimming in his Spiritual Foundation, were far too difficult for him to use. The pressure on his body was too exaggerated, and as such, he could basically only watch them without being able to do much at all.

However, what if he had a treasure that could take the pressure off of him?

There was a reason this world was a world of light. Or more accurately, there was a reason the world set aside to help replenish and cure this Shrine of its ailments was a world of light. Obviously, this Shrine had a Light affinity. If it was in Sacrum, it would be called the Light Shrine.

In that case, this would be the perfect conduit for the Seed of Light.

Of course, this wouldn\'t allow Ryu to use the Seed of Light with impunity. However, in a life and death situation, he would definitely be able to mobilize a bit of its power.

The problem with the Shrine was twofold.

The first was that it was damaged and Ryu had no intention of allowing the world to repair it. For one, he wanted to absorb the potential of the world himself, and second, if he replenished the Shrine, those controlling it would have a million different ways to snatch it back from him, all while destroying his soul and his Inner World at the same time.

After all, such a treasure definitely had the imprint of a Dao God on it, and Ryu would have no right to take it under normal circumstances.

The second issue with the Shrine was that it was a replica. Even in its best state, Ryu would only be comfortable with using 10% or so of the Seed of Light\'s power in a single sitting. If he used more, the Shrine would be destroyed by his own hands, or at best, he\'d be able to use it a handful of times before it collapsed.

But now, he would have some breathing room.

Ryu grinned and took another breath.

The Shrine seemed to have realized that it hadn\'t come to the place it expected, but now it was in Ryu\'s Inner World. So long as there wasn\'t any outside interference, dealing with the dumb, injured treasure was a matter of flipping over a hand.

Runes fell down from the skies in waves and Ryu pulled on the Seed of Light in his Realm Heart at the same time.

Under a mixture of coercion and force, the imitation Shrine was forced into submission and Ryu could feel a weak connection with it.

Ryu communicated with the Seed of Light once again. This time, he took some of the pure gold out from it, sending a small stream toward the imitation Shrine. Using the influence of the Shrine, it was easier to keep this strand of gold light under lock and key, and though cold sweat beaded down Ryu\'s brows after just a few seconds, he couldn\'t help but feel self-satisfied.

He had finally done it. He had finally used a bit of the power of his natural treasures without them trying to shred his body to pieces.

But this was just the beginning.

As the light poured into the Shrine, it actually began to stabilize.

Even if he couldn\'t use them freely, the natural treasures were ultimately teeming with Ryu\'s aura. He was able to use a strand of the Seed of Light\'s energy to impose his will onto the Shrine, and in that moment, the last bits of resistance it had were wiped away.

Ryu didn\'t erase the imprint of the Dao God he found on it just yet, but he could tell that he could do so whenever he wanted. Or rather, he could control the Shrine to erase it of its own accord. The imprint of a Dao God wasn\'t something that he could deal with at all.

This was the first time Ryu had come across a treasure that needed such an imprint at all, but it went to show just how valuable the Shrines were… even if they were just imitations.

Ryu lifted his head to the skies and laughed. With the help of this Shrine, he was certain. So long as he could keep his life for a handful of exchanges, he could slay a Dao Lord with this strength.

The power of the natural treasures his Beyond Perfect Extreme Spiritual Foundation needed to thrive were simply beyond the wildest imaginations of most… even Ryu himself.

Ryu calmed himself. He knew that he was being overly emotional about it, he would have never even put a Dao Lord in his eyes in the past. He would have felt that it was only a matter of nature that he could now kill one given the right circumstances. But now…

\'One day…\' Ryu said with a resolute glint in his eyes, \'… I will completely walk out of this shadow.\'

Ryu\'s gaze sharpened and he turned his attention to the remaining world around him. It was time to take this world for himself as well, but he would have to do so beautifully. After all, he didn\'t want to disappoint those waiting for him outside.

Ryu began what was a normal process, but that was when the situation changed on him.

His Realm Heart began to pulse oddly and Ryu\'s expression changed.
