Chapter 1657 Chilling

BANG!

Ryu's fist met the beast constructs forming in the air. For a moment, it looked as though they were evenly matched, but in that instant, Ryu's Perfect Blackbody Soul thrummed.

BANG!

The beast constructs seemed to implode, becoming large streams of Spiritual Quintessence that erupted from their innards and spilled out into the surroundings.

Valerius' eyes narrowed, but his hands quickly began to form hand seals. He took note of Ryu's Perfect Blackbody Soul, deducing what had just happened in an instant and changing his tactics.

His arms spread out and his Dao erupted. The billowing aura of a Higher Ancient Dao spilling into the surroundings.

The constructs that Ryu had just blown apart seemed to reform on their own, a cascading swell of life and creation pooling. For a moment, the constructs didn't seem to just be constructs anymore, but rather real, living, breathing beasts.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Valerius pressed two fingers, holding one palm out toward Ryu and raising those fingers into the sky. Blood was pulled out from his pores, qi spilled out from his mouth and nose, and Spiritual Quintessence swirled among them, forming an amalgamation of something entirely new.

The danger Ryu sensed multiplied several times over, the creatures that had been somewhat more real now suddenly truly becoming corporeal.

The wyrms filled the skies by the dozens, roaring like flood dragons completely unimpeded by their own flight at all. They soared just as easily as Ryu did, bearing down menacingly and unleashing a torrent of their creator's fury.

The air rocked like the sea on a stormy night, the qi in the surroundings becoming so volatile that even the pair of Omniscient Sky God women found it hard to even stabilize themselves properly.

In that moment, it felt like all eyes within a thousand kilometers were stuck on this very battle...

And then there was Ryu who looked like a small fish in the midst of swarming sharks, so tiny and insignificant compared to these large, looming constructs that it seemed he would truly be swallowed whole.

Death Acupoint.

Fist and fist met and Ryu felt his arm snap backward under the force. Though his arm wasn't broken, his guard certainly was.

However, he used the sudden loss of momentum to step back and out of the range of the Incarnation's second blow, sweeping another finger technique out in an arc to shatter an approaching construct.

A battle that shattered the very air it took place on erupted, every clash ending in a cacophony of exploding energy and shattering reality.

Ryu realized very quickly why Valerius was able to keep up in close combat with this Incarnation. It wasn't just that he was distracted but the constructs constantly trying to rip his head off, nor was it just the fact that the Incarnation itself was outputting far more power than himself, but it was that Valerius was a third-party observer to everything as well.

He wasn't the Incarnation, he was controlling the Incarnation. As such, his vantage point was akin to a use of [Third Perspective].

'No...'

Ryu's eyes flashed like lightning. It wasn't just his main body, but all the constructs... every single one of his creations was an extra set of eyes and it negated one of his greatest advantages.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Ryu exchanged a quick flurry of elbows and knees with the Incarnation, garnering himself a small bit of breathing room to use Death Acupoint again and destroy another Incarnation.

The white scales across Ryu's body suddenly thrummed as everything clicked into place.

It was time for him to stop reacting and start taking the initiation.

'[Immortal Sakura].'

Ryu's wings opened wide as a construct of his own appeared high in the skies. The Visualization loomed so tall and mighty that it could be seen for tens of thousands of kilometers.

When its delicate pink-diamond cherry blossoms began to fall from the skies, it painted an image of awe and fascination, forming a gorgeous tapestry that was quickly assaulted by a rain of bone-chilling cold.
