Grand Ancestral Bloodlines Chapter 1104

[ … words ]

Mae fell into silence for a long time. A time affinity wasn’t a small matter, in fact she wasn’t sure if something like this had ever existed before. Usually, it required hard work and many years of contemplation before one could finally grasp time affinity, and even those paragons of the past who finally managed to succeed could only rely on good look and countless billions of years of effort. 

However, Ryu was actually born with such an affinity? Just what kind of monster was he? Not only was he born with such an affinity, but he could even make use of it to trick such a powerful inheritance ground, this was simply too astounding. 

In truth, now Mae was curious. She wanted to know exactly what this Ruin had to offer, but she also didn’t have the cheek to ask Ryu for it. Technically, she had lost their battle, and if not for some lust induced activities, she would have had to use her escape measures or reveal some things she could not. Either way, it would result in her loss. 

Plus, considering the fact that Ryu had just revealed to her the true nature of his soul, she wasn’t even sure if the latter would be an option. Then there was the need to consider his odd bloodline and his Fire Spirit Body. 

Come to think of it… 

“Your Bloodline…” Mae somewhat mumbled. Since Ryu had volunteered such information, there was no telling what else he would tell her, so she didn’t feel that it was a problem to ask. Plus, she found it hard to believe that there would be anything more shocking that a Spacetime Soul Nature.

But even so, she was curious about what bloodline that was. She felt quite oppressed in the fact of it, and the spike to his power when he let it rampage wasn’t’ small. He had gone from barely being able to harm her to shattering her ribs in a single strike. The leap was enormous. 

“Fire Dragon,” Ryu said without much thought. 

Mae froze. However, because Ryu kept walking, she nearly stumbled forward, her arm still wrapped around his. She couldn’t wrap her head around what she had just heard. 

“You… You aren’t human?”

Mae was speechless. She was absolutely certain that he was. 

The Fire Dragon was the Emperor of the Dragon Race, a race of beings that one could only barely start finding the dregs of in the Seventh Heaven. Even the weakest of their species were only so low, let alone their rulers. 

Could it be that Ryu had masked it? 

“No, I am human,” Ryu replied. 

“Only one of your parents is a dragon?”

“Neither of my parents are dragons, I just happen to have dragon blood.”

Mae’s jaw nearly dropped and she felt like she suddenly understood everything. No wonder why this man was so unrestrained and wild. His ancestors even dared snatch the Bloodline of the Emperor of Dragons, why would he care about some pressure from her Dream Asura Race? He was already a walking target. If he ever revealed this to anyone else, or if this information was spread, he would be hunted down to the ends of the True Martial World. 

Mae burst out into a rain of cold sweat. She suddenly felt that it wasn’t Ryu who had just taken a step into a hellish scape, but rather herself. Just what had she entangled herself in?

“How… How is that even possible?”

“I am not from the True Martial World. I come from a Middle World known as Sacrum.”

Mae suddenly understood, finally she knew what Ryu had meant when he said that he wasn’t part of her group, he really wasn’t lying. However, after she understood this, she was even more confused. How had someone from a lesser world become so powerful? He was still young, albeit older than herself, so how had he managed it? 

She was endlessly shocked by this man. 

Lost in her thoughts, Mae didn’t even notice that Ryu had already led them to the gates of the Sect and opened them. 

On the other side, there weren’t many remaining. There was only Aantha and the impatient young man of the Sentient Sword Sect, Sengun. When the two saw the gates opening, their gazes flashed with astonishment, less due to the fact that the gates were finally open, and more due to the fact the cold-faced Mae was hanging on the arm of a man. 

Aantha was probably the most surprised of the two as she knew things that others didn’t, but she suddenly “understood” after a moment and giggled, rushing up to Ryu and circling him. 

“Hehe, big sis, you caught a big one. How did you manage to get him on a leash? He’s so handsome, you’ll let me have a bite too, right? Don’t be stingy.”

Mae seemed to understand what Aantha was implying and couldn’t help but helplessly shake her head. This “little girl” was truly too mischievous. She did and acted as she pleased without much care for her surroundings usually, and she was even more brazen now as she skipped around like a proud little peacock as though Mae’s accomplishments were her own. 

Sengun was instantly unhappy when he saw Mae do this, but he quickly turned his anger to disdain. However, before he could say anything, Ryu spoke. 

“Let’s go, I’ve wasted enough time, I have to accumulate as much Heavenly Favor as possible before the next phase.”

Aantha was caught off guard. If Ryu was really in Mae’s clutches, he wouldn’t be directing them like this. She couldn’t help but look toward Mae again, her eyes widening. So it was her conquering him, but the vice versa…? 

Sengun’s sneer also froze before it then became anger once more. He had come all the way here to not only have his women snatched, but even the likely rewards of this Ruin as well. His patience had run its course. 

“Your spatial ring, hand it over. I want to see what’s—.”

BANG!

Sengun’s head exploded, frying to ash as a blue steel needle zipped back toward Ryu. 

“Annoying.”
