Chapter 2014 The Difference

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Kira suddenly accelerated into retreat, looking at his lost arm in shock. He knew how great his defenses were. On the same level, there was practically no one that could cut through his skin, let alone his bone and tendons in a single strike.

He didn't even quite see how Ryu had attacked. It was as though the world had done it for him.

Adlael's gaze couldn't help but narrow.

The real reason he had allowed Kira to attack was precisely because he thought that something like this might happen. He knew that Ryu was an anomaly, and he found the fact that Ryu's cultivation was progressing so slowly odd...

Most would think that Ryu simply wasn't as talented as he purported to be, but Adlacl knew better.

The geniuses confident enough in themselves to slow roll their path to Lordship were the truest geniuses there were, existences that would be shaken from their path even if they were scorned by the world.

Ryu always did things his own way.

Even if he discounted the time he wasted in Sacrum, Ryu had been cultivating for over a hundred years now.

By the metric of the best geniuses in Existence, to only be at the Omniscient Realm after such a long time meant that he wasn't worthy of being named amongst the best of the best.

And yet, he stood here before them as though he had already proven himself to be far above them all.

And it didn't even seem out of place.

Kira stared at his lost arm for a long while before a rage billowed in his eyes. His canines grew, and his body shook once before a new arm burst out from the wound. He took a breath that sounded more like roaring wind and booming thunder.

His body grew in size, and spirits of beasts began to manifest out from his body. Roaring tigers and lions shook the space, and his strength skyrocketed.

With a step, he charged at Ryu again, his fist descending from the skies with the menace of a falling meteor.

Just as Ryu's chest was about to be collided with, he reached out a palm.

BOOM!

The air cracked and fractured, violent winds causing Adlacl and the three-pupiled woman to cover their faces with an arm to protect their eyes.

However, the result was Ryu standing in place while Kira was forced to take a step back.

"Your body is weak," Ryu said lightly. "You have such a good Bone Structure, but you wasted it like this. You filled yourself up with the blood of Tigers and Lions? They don't even seem to be profound Bloodlines at all.

"A coward like you has no right to walk the path of cultivation."

Kira's eyes bulged.

He understood what Ryu was saying without so many words.

With his Bone Structure, he should be slaying Dragons and drinking their blood. But he didn't dare to offend such Races on a large scale, so he stuck with lesser beasts. While there were Tiger and Lion Races that could stand with Dragons, Qilins, and Phoenixes, the ones in his body right now certainly could not.

Ryu had seen through his sore point and stabbed a knife right into it.

With a Bone Structure capable of swallowing normal blood and refining it down into his personal Blood Essence, Kira should be a true monster.

But his Dao Heart was unrefined, and he was a cowardly fool unwilling to mess with the dignity of the Ancient Beasts.

"If I had your Bone Structure, let alone the blood of Dragons, I would drink from the bodies of Phoenixes in their Rebirth Trees and Qilins in the midst of a Tribulation brought down by the Heavens themselves.

"You have no right to be a cultivator."

CRACK.

Kira's body shuddered, and his aura began to leak in all directions.

His Dao Heart had shattered.

At that moment, his entire cultivation foundation was practically erased.

Fate leaked into the air, and Ryu seemed to only naturally breathe it in.

He waved a hand, and Kira's throat appeared in his palm. The man seemed listless as though he was ready to die. He didn't even try to fight back.

Ryu looked down at him, seemingly not taking much joy in destroying a man. All he had done was confirm that his Dao really had reached quite a shocking level. The moment he found a weakness in a person, attacking their Dao Heart was quite casy... especially if they had a chink like Kira did.

"Still the same mindless drivel. Do you think that if you don't wave it around what's between your legs fiercely enough, people will mistake you for a woman?"

The voice was pleasant, but the words were sharp and incisive. With such a beautiful woman speaking to you in this way, it was easy for any man to feel as though they had lost any semblance of masculinity they had left.

And yet, Ryu hardly reacted at all. He didn't even try to find where the voice came from. Instead, he just put Kira away before speaking lightly.

"Whether that's true or not, I'm sure you know best."

"I didn't think you were the kind of man who would try to use ambiguous words to attack the chastity of a woman."

"What kind of man I am doesn't really matter to you, does it? You speak words that are quite ironic considering isn't precisely what you're looking for a man who swings 'what's between his legs' fiercely?"

"Your chastity? I think you threw that away on your own along with whatever pride you supposedly had."

A chuckle came from everywhere at once. But it was dark and sinister in a way that made it seem like they weren't truly laughing at all.

"I'm going to enjoy killing you," the voice echoed again.

"That sounds like something I'd say," Ryu replied. "But unlike me, you're going to let your little boyfriends attack first instead of doing it yourself."

BOOM!

A violent aura descended from above as Young Master Moon suddenly appeared.
