Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

"If you want to play... We will play."

Ryu's Dao Heart had thought of this idea for his Body Realm Cultivation Method long ago, but he had been unwilling to take this step. Unfortunately, he also wasn't able to think of any other methods to do it either. That was because...

It wasn't something that could even be done without a Living Spiritual Foundation.

As great as the idea of Dao Bones and a Beast Core sounded, they weren't possible unless one was a beast. It required a connection to the Heavens that couldn't be replicated under normal means.

Ryu had circumvented this somewhat with his Cosmos Fog, but ultimately these weren't real Dao Bones; they were fakes that had limited power as a result.

Of course, this so-called "limited power" was still enough for Ryu to be ranked nearly all on his own in terms of Body Realm cultivation.

He was this confident in his self-created method. In body alone, he didn't believe that he had a match at the same level. And that so-called Nameless God could come and test that out himself.

A flare of arrogance erupted from Ryu's chest, and his blazing intent seemed to be fueled by the white flames of his long-forgotten Spiritual Foundation.

The plan was obvious by now. He was going to use his Living Spiritual Foundation as a proxy for his beasthood.

It was the perfect fit. A Spiritual Foundation was already the natural connection to the Heavens that all cultivators needed. This was something Ryu knew more intimately than almost anyone else.

Without the Spiritual Foundation, communicating with the Heavens was an impossibility.

A Living Spiritual Foundation was a step beyond that. Not only could it communicate with the Heavens, but it could do so on behalf of its owner.

It was known as a Living Spiritual Foundation for a reason. It wasn't just a misnomer. There was a true Phoenix living within his body.

It was just that he had neglected it.

But now, he wouldn't.

Ryu's Meridians shook and his body almost burst at its scams.

What was his plan?

Well, it was quite shocking. So shocking, in fact, that Ailsa, who sensed what was

happening, couldn't help but look over.

She didn't seem to care when Ryu defeated so many genius Lords while only in the Omniscient Realm, nor did she react when he conquered a God Grade World all on his own while, once again, not being a Lord. 𝘳àɴՕᛒƐ𝒮

She didn't even react when the False Shrine was taken by him and the third and final loss of the Fiends was sealed, causing their rainbow wall to shatter and retreat

millions of miles back to their original borders.

The only thing she seemed to have reacted to this entire time was Eska's breakthrough into the Dao God Realm...

But even that was more muted than this one.

Her pupils couldn't help but constrict.

And the reason for that was because Ryu's actions were almost too blasphemous even for her.

Over the course of his journey, Ryu had caused the Heavens to bless him with not one, but two Bone Structures. In fact, those two were just the ones that he cared to remember.

His Boundless Cosmos Bone Structure and that mysterious close combat Bone Structure that he had rejected were both gifts from the Heavens in thanks to his comprehensions.

His original Bone Structure was none other than his Ice Jade Crystal Body. He had a fondness for it because it was the same Bone Structure his mother shared, and it was also the most responsible for his Dual Wielding ability.

Although he had managed to keep much of that ability thanks to the influence of his Bone Structure on his musculature, he could feel that that was waning. Soon, it might not even be practical anymore to dual wield, which was why one of the strongest attacks he had levied at Sarriel was actually a fusion of his two weapons.

But there was another side to this coin as well. While his muscles were slowly changing and adapting to the abilities of his new bones, that also meant that his muscles, tendons, and ligaments weren't perfectly compatible with his new Bone Structure either.

These were two sides of the coin that he had noticed while studying his body for the sake of completing his Body Realm Method.

And now...

He would form the solution to that problem.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

A series of eruptions shook Ryu's body to its very roots, shattering his Boundless Cosmos Bone Structure.

The cry of a Phoenix continued to shake the skies as crystalline runes formed all around him.

The Heavens reacted to Ryu's Fate and Karma Soul Nature, returning his Ice Jade Crystal Body Bone Structure to him.

Ryu's aura began to plummet, his strength reacting as though it had fallen from a cliff.

However, Ryu himself didn't seem to care in the slightest. His aura alone was able to keep his body from collapsing in on itself as his new bones formed.

His skin and muscle regained their support structure, but they were so powerful that fragmentations began to appear in his bones. Just a simple flex would have ripped his bones apart. His tendons were so powerful that just a slight tug might cause his bones to shatter to pieces.

However, Ryu remained entirely indifferent. His mind seemed to be somewhere else.

"Ice..."

The name of his Ice Jade Crystal Body never referred to the element at all. In fact, everything about his Bone Structure's name reflected balance, purity, and polished

perfection.

But today...

"I will let you know true Ice. Ninefold Frostbane Bone Structure. Come."

DUDOOM.

BANG!

Ryu's Ice Jade Crystal Body shattered beneath the pressure of the far more powerful Bone Structure.

As Ryu had said... The Boundless Cosmos and unknown close combat Bone Structure were far from the only two that he had unlocked.

The Ninefold Frostbane Bone Structure was a Sovereign Grade Bone Structure that Ryu had unlocked but ultimately dismissed while he was practicing his Ice Spirit Body.

And now...

Ryu circulated an Embryonic Qi droplet, forcing his Ice Jade Crystal Body to reform again and again, and the Heavens etched the Dao Runes of the Ninefold Frostbane Bone Structure into his body.

If he was going to form Dao Bones... he needed a Dao. For too long now, his Dao had been hidden away in his Beyond Perfect Extreme Spiritual Foundation, but his White Phoenix Spiritual Foundation didn't have one. He had unsealed it and entered the World Sea Realm with Inheritances instead.

Today... that would change.

He would form a Dao of the strongest Bone Structures the Heavens had ever blessed

him with.

"Ashen Flameheart Lotus Bone Structure. Come."
