?Chapter 2024 Press
The Blue Moon above Blue Moon's head suddenly began to fluctuate like a wild flame. In one moment, it looked forged of solid rock, and in the next, it became a bundle of burning, gaseous flames...
Like a star.
In the far-off distance, Darkness Rising's body flickered and vanished, catching his little brother's body out of the air.
There was a dense rage in his eyes, but he tempered it with a slow and steady breath. Ryu wasn't a fool.
This throw had proven two things. First, it meant he knew exactly where they were. Even though they were a seemingly impossible distance away for a Lord to manage with, Ryu didn't seem to take the distance very seriously at all.
And second... he knew that Darkness Rising would have no choice but to deal with Falling Snow's injuries. Otherwise, he would be crippled for a lifetime.
Ryu had used his Primordial Chaos Dark Qi, sending it ravaging through Falling Snow's body. He was already in a half-dead state after that single slash.
But as though to make things worse, it wasn't normal Primordial Chaos Dark Qi; it was rather Primordial Chaos Dark Qi from the Griffin World that was three levels beyond this one and an entire four beyond the True Martial World.
In this time, Falling Snow had already succeeded in swapping out his qi for that of this world. But his qi was still three steps below that of Ryu's in Grade, only being that of the God Grade.
Above the God Grade, there was still the Ancient Grade, Primordial, and the level of Chaos Qi, Embryonic Qi, and Essence beyond that, the strongest Qis in all of existence.
And that Grade difference didn't take into account the gap between the Laws of different worlds either.
That meant, in effect, Ryu's Qi Grade was as much as six entire levels beyond Falling Snow's in that instant of time.
This was a shocking reality that Darkness Rising sensed the moment he touched his little brother.
He realized that Ryu had checkmated him. He would either have to decide between letting his little brother die or returning and allowing this to continue.
But he didn't understand how Ryu even knew that Falling Snow would be so valuable to him.
Darkness Rising had no idea that with his eyes, Ryu could easily see the Fate connection between Falling Snow and Darkness Rising. He knew at a glance that they were not only family but that Darkness Rising had a great deal of affection for this little brother of his.
Expecting anyone to hide from his eyes was simply a pipe dream. Even a Dao God wasn't immune to his scans any longer.
Darkness Rising's jaw set. He gave Ryu a glance from a far-off distance and then shot off into the distance.
Hope made no attempt to stop him at all, a light smile on her face as she watched Dao God Shy silently.
Then, she suddenly attacked.
Dao God Shy had expected the stalemate to continue, and he was still paying attention to Blue Moon, his confidence no longer where it was at before.
However, he was still a Dao God; he reacted quickly.
Their palms formed an energy barrier in the skies that reflected against one another, sending them both taking a few steps back.
Dao God Shy was stunned. He had already sensed it, but Hope's Dao hadn't broken through the ceiling, or so he thought. No, he was sure...
How could she possibly face off against him? And why was she so eager to fight? Weren't they fine in this sort of stalemate?
Then he understood.
Who would be the first to break this sort of stalemate? Wasn't it the side who thought they would lose?
Hope attacking now was ironically showing her confidence in Ryu. Even with the changes to Blue Moon, soon, Dao God Shy wouldn't be able to hold himself back from rushing over to help Blue Moon. And at that point, they would end up fighting anyway...
So why not start now?
Ryu gazed at the blazing blue star with a calm expression. With a flip of his hand, his second great swordstaff returned to his palm, and he pointed it out.
He didn't have the time for all of this. The longer this battle went on, the more variables there would be.
He needed to strike a balance between conserving himself and speed, but unfortunately, he would need to press a little bit more.
Although he had Embryonic Qi, it couldn't do much about his Focus Qi, and if he ended up fatigued enough, even his Embryonic Qi would stop working properly. He had experienced that before. His body was just too powerful at this point.
However, soon enough, he knew the Griffins would get involved in this.
Why? He had no idea. All he knew was that when he reached out to use their world, he felt the shift.
All things considered, the Griffins should want nothing to do with these people. After all, they had forcefully suppressed the Ancient Beasts in this region, stopping them
from appearing.
But all of this was still a confusing mess to him.
After all, if the Fey descended from the Fiends, then why were they still fighting a war? Did they not know?
And weren't the Ancient Beasts and Fey arch enemies? Why would the Griffins coming here mean danger for him, then? Shouldn't it be a good thing?
But his sense of Fate didn't lie, and his sensitivity toward the trouble his life was in couldn't be faked.
In that case, he would just need to press a bit.
It had to be remembered that he hadn't just created the great swordstaffs to have a powerful set of weapons. He had created them to take on the burden of a Dao Method he couldn't withstand the backlash of on his own.
It seemed that it was time to make its appearance in its truest form.
Ryu held out both great swordstaffs, and the world was suddenly forcefully stabilized.
"[- Judgement]"
He didn't even move, but space shattered around his blades like broken glass. Even Lord Control couldn't keep reality together.
