Grand Ancestral Bloodlines -
Chapter 2215: Dome of Heaven
Ryu's fury seemed poured into his very fist itself. His emotions were like a firing kennel, concentrated into a ceramic and then exploding forth the instant it reached its limit.
He had already been swinging his arm before she even appeared, and the moment his knuckles crackled, the world folding away before him, he unleashed it all at the same time.
Who was she to decide when their battle ended? When he didn't stand a chance? When he was too weak to continue?
Who did she think she was?
BANG!
Solara's body practically folded out of the way, the great amount of pressure concentrating onto her face making it bow and whine for the briefest of instances before she was sent flying away.
She rolled along the rainbow-clouded ground, her body flipping and twisting. The teleportation had left her a great deal disoriented, and she still wasn't sure which way was up and which was down.
Forcefully teleporting anyone to begin with was extremely difficult with an enormous gap in power. Shattering it was too easy, especially if it was from a far enough distance like this time.
But Ryu had not only done it, he had done so in the face of a Dao God, all while his target had cultivation that was far deeper and superior to his own.
It was something that didn't make any sense at all… until you saw the confusion in Solara's face still being there. Even now, it was hard to tell if she was aware that she had been teleported away the first time.
That was when Ryu appeared above her, his fists coming together in a hammering motion as he flexed his torso as though it were a spring.
He pooled all the strength he had, the tendrils of blackness that coated him tightening like steel wires as they pulled on his body as well.
Solara might have been disoriented, but she knew how to sense danger. In the end, that danger became like a beacon in the dense darkness.
She rolled.
BANG!
Ryu's fists heavily slammed against the ground, a large number of chains rolling toward him.
The difference was striking, suffocating, even. The chains hadn't even landed when he felt the laws restrain themselves in their presence. His Dao Heart trembled as though it might collapse, and the qi in the surroundings fell into silence.
It didn't even seem like she was actively trying to do this. Instead, the mere presence of the Divine Chains alone was enough to cause this as though it were baked into their very being.
His body twisted in attempts to dodge, but he couldn't stop two of them from landing, one right through his shoulder and the other through his leg.
Solara, still disoriented, used her Divine Chains to sense Ryu's exact position. In a flash, she was up, her fist driving into his face.
If Ryu still had blood left to give, maybe this blow would have caused a spurt, a geyser of bloody red. But instead, it just deformed his face to the point that its already unrecognizable mass of black flattened and then nearly continued into a concave curve.
It was clear that Ryu's skull had already shattered apart. The only thing that remained was the skin of black that kept him intact, a skin that Solara's fist couldn't seem to make it through.
Even so, with a shattered head, how was survival possible? Such things were rare even at their cultivation level.
But Solara knew that it was far more over.
Ryu's head almost violently snapped back into shape, as though nothing at all had happened.
A second fist from Solara was already on the way, slamming against his chest. Then a third came. Every blow was like the descent of another meteor, every one cratering holes in Ryu's body.
Ryu himself was having trouble moving with the laws of the Divine Chains keeping him in place.
She unleashed a relentless barrage against him, every one aimed to kill. At the same time, she was slowly becoming less disoriented until she snapped out of it clearly.
Her eyes revealed a sea of chains, swimming through the air like flood dragons pulsing with silver-blue might. They were so numerous and concentrated that it almost looked as though they had replaced the dome of the Heavens themselves.
Confusion colored her face once more. When had she summoned so many Divine Chains? She definitely hadn't.
Had she grown more powerful? She hardly felt a dent in her Focus Qi and qi.
Well, she was actually quite sure that she could easily summon this many. It was just that she would have to be against an opponent that was actually worthy…
And Ryu didn't fall into that category.
"Die," she said coldly.
Ryu's maw snapped open, a howl blowing her hair back in response.
Solara froze, feeling as though she was staring into the depths of an abyss.
Somehow, the sound of the howl was still translated to her mind.
Disappointment.
He… was disappointed in… her?
There was a rage that flared in Solara's eyes. How dare he—?!
Her thoughts froze.
Chi.
BANG!
The chain in Ryu's body suddenly shattered, and the chains in the skies vanished.
In its place, the projection of Ryu's Inner World remained.
At that moment, Solara understood Ryu's disappointment. He had wanted a battle where he could shut his brain off, where he faced off against someone no less powerful than himself so he could see just how far his fists alone could carry him.
At the start, Solara was able to do that. But in the middle of the battle, Ryu had a breakthrough in his third eye…
And she was entirely unable to keep up after the fact. In fact, she was the one who foolishly gave him the chance to begin with.
Pathetic.
[A God's Brush: Heaven].
Everything reversed, a color being painted into the world that crashed down onto her body.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
