The names Ryu spoke all carried mysteries of their own, each one painting the world with a variety of colors as their Fates were tugged upon and their forms were forced into existence.Ryu himself didn't seem to feel the pain of his body being ripped apart again and again, nor did he seem to care that his Ice Jade Crystal Body was far too weak to hold all of these powerhouse Bone Structures together.
His Ice Jade Crystal Body was a mere Ancestral Grade Bone Structure, while these Bone Structures were an entire eight tiers above it. It simply had no right to become their foundation.
And yet, Ryu indifferently stared down at their discontent, carelessly withstanding their furious rampage through his body, and forcing their Runes to become the Dao Bones that he forged with his own hands.
The Azure Cloud Vein Bone Structure was a Sovereign Grade Wind Elemental Bone Structure... and much like the others, its name carried with it mysteries that couldn't be described simply.
The word Azure almost seemed out of place. But when it was matched with the word Vein, at least for a Rune Master, it all became clear.
The word Azure was very special to the cultivation world. That was because it was tied to a legendary creature, the Azure Dragon.
It was a truly legendary beast, one that ruled the skies. It was said that it could control the clouds and the rain, climbing to the peak of the world, the Heavens as its stepping stool.
In reality, Ryu didn't think that the Azure Dragon actually existed. It was a mythology created by lesser cultures that eventually rose up to the cultivation world, one of the rare instances of such a thing happening.
However, this didn't mean that the legend was weak... just because of its origin. In fact, it was actually far stronger because of it.
For such a legend to persist even after so long, the amount of Fate bound to it was astronomical...
The Azure Cloud Vein was an homage to the Azure Dragon, an attempt to make the legend real.
When it formed, vein patterns would appear across the body, and one would be born to the wind, capable of summoning the clouds and commanding the rain... embraced by the very skies themselves.
And then there was the Jadebound Clearheart Bone Structure... a Bone Structure of the Earth Element.
Jade... Ryu understood what it meant intimately. It was a word that embodies purity, balance, and harmony. It was why it was such an important piece of his Ice Jade Crystal Body.
This Bone Structure was all about a resonance with the Earth beneath one's feet.
Depending on the world, bending the Earth to one's will could be incredibly difficult. This Bone Structure instead took the approach of harmonizing with it, embracing it, making yourself one with it...
In a lot of ways, it, too, was the mirror of the Azure Cloud Vein Bone Structure. And together, one controlled the skies and the other the ground it shadowed.
Ryu's body rattled as his bones continuously shattered and reformed, only to shatter once again. The cycle was continuous and relentless, but he was just as relentless. That was because he barely waited for the last Dao Bone Rune to be set in place before he spoke out again.
"Eternal Dawn Bone Structure... Come. Darkmoon Veil Bone Structure... Come."
When many spoke of Light and Darkness, they often forgot the two most important contributing factors... The Sun and the Moon...
Usually, the Sun and Moon were more tied to Yin and Yang, Fire and Ice. But they were arguably even more closely tied to Light and Darkness than anything else.
Without stars, there would be no light in the universe. Without the moon, there would be no light in the night. However, without stars, no moon would have light at all...
This balance, this ebb and flow, was too often neglected.
But not by these two Bone Structures.
The Eternal Dawn Bone Structure didn't just claim light itself, but the beginning of it, the first rays of the day and most powerful...
Some of the most powerful cultivation methods in existence relied on the first rays of sunlight at the break of dawn. They were the purest, most beautiful, and undoubtedly the strongest.
The swirl and array of colors carried a breadth and depth of mystery that stood before the secrets to the beginning of Existence itself... and their Radiance could enrapture an enemy and take their lives.
The Darkmoon Veil Bone Structure was unique. It wasn't technically an exact opposite, but it embodied the truest essence of Darkness...
The absence of light.
The weakness of Darkness, as Ryu had seen in these last few years, was that using its techniques often required pumping darkness of your own into the world. But this was
fundamentally not what Darkness was about. Just by virtue of doing this, it was weakening your technique and your method.
This Bone Structure was different. Much like the Ninefold Frostbane Bone Structure, it imposed its darkness onto the world by veiling the light, embodying the truest. essence of darkness itself by not creating it, but imposing it with the expulsion of
light.
When the Darkmoon was formed and light was completely overshadowed by a reflection of darkness, the power of his Bone Structure could truly display its might.
This sixth Bone Structure burrowed into Ryu's body, and the lotus tattoo on his forehead gained a black moon hidden within its petals.
Ryu felt himself shaking, but he forcefully stabilized it all with his will and grit.
He wasn't finished yet; never would he allow himself to be finished here.
Ryu's eyes blazed with an almost fanatical battle intent.
This was where the challenge would truly become shocking and he just might lose his
life here and now.
These elements were relatively still fine for him. But now he was crossing over an
entirely different territory entirely.
"Nine Revolution Skybreaker... Come."
A crack of thunder resonated through the skies.
