The laws of the world imploded around Ryu, shaking and quaking, overturning after overexposing themselves.It was like the vibrations of Ryu's fist had exploded inside of them, shredding them to pieces.
Thunder... it was usually just the aftereffect of lightning, the much slower, less
important result. Often, it contained a lot of bluster, but what it actually did was alert someone to what might have happened after all the damage had long since been dealt. However, this was no longer normal Thunder. It reverberated through the laws of the world itself, exhibiting a form of destructive control that forced the world to remain intact for only as long as it took for another rumbling cadence to echo.
This was the true Skybreaker Thunder. Tribulation Skybreaker.
Reaching this point was one thing, though... actually surviving beyond it was a different matter entirely.
A wrathful sort of vengeance began to concoct above Ryu's head once again, if it could even be called that.
His body didn't have anything left, and even the vague outline he had once managed to form was shredded to pieces.
However, the light in his hovering eyes didn't fade in the slightest. If anything, it only became stronger...
"Empyrean Warframe... Come."
Ryu didn't even wait for the wrath of the Heavens to finish gathering up. It was as though he would be satisfied until his Tribulation Clouds grew so far and wide that more than just a single world began to target him.
But maybe this time, he had truly bit off far more than he could chew.
Empyrean Warframe... The name alone caused this region of Existence to quake, nearby worlds shuddering without their experts quite understanding just exactly what was happening.
In Sacrum, the Sixth Ranked Heavenly Pupils were known as the War God Pupils. They were a shocking set that hadn't appeared in their world in a long while, and thus had slipped down. But they were so powerful that it wasn't rare to find them in the top three across many worlds...
But honestly speaking, when one was referring to the top ten Heavenly Pupils, any one of them had history beyond imagining and could be seen as a shocking existence. So this wasn't what truly made them shocking. Rather, its description...
The War God Pupils gave its wielder an innate understanding of all battle styles they came across. A single glance would be enough for them to grasp it all and incorporate it into their combat style.
But this was still just the tip of the iceberg.
That was because this was just the foundational ability of the War God Pupils.
The second most well-known ability of the War God Pupils was the summoning of the War God Treasury, and most importantly, the War God Armor and War God Wings. These were known as some of the most powerful treasures across existence because it was said that the War God Pupil wielders all shared a unique linkage between themselves, allowing the insights of one another to be engraved onto these treasures to be passed on to the next generation.
It could be said that because of this, unlike other Heavenly Pupils, every new wielder of the War God Pupils was stronger than the last.
If Ryu had been born with the War God Pupils, he would have never had to worry about his foundation because he would have insights from a countless series of other worlds in his mind.
However, this still wasn't the most powerful ability of the War God Heavenly Pupils. That was because there was another...
[War God Sense].
This ability gave the wielder of the Pupils shocking abilities in close combat. Their instincts superseded even that of beasts, their bodies often moving on their own even before their brains could think through what was happening.
If they could combine the insights from their [War God Armor] into their [War God Sense], the latter became sharper, quicker, more lethal, often allowing those that wielded the War God Pupils to kill enemies far above them in strength with what even looked like little effort, and often truly was...
When a certain stage was reached, there would no longer be a separation between [War God Armor] and [War God Sense]...
That was when one of the first wielders of these Heavenly Pupils formed something
truly shocking...
The Warframe.
There was a saying in the cultivation world.
When meeting the War God Pupils, one should run the other way. They were all madmen, obsessed with battle and thirsting for blood. They didn't know what mercy
meant and all they wanted was to taste your blade.
When meeting a War God with a Warframe...
Fall to your knees and beg for forgiveness.
In the cultivation world, the name of things was too important for there to be no connection between the Warframe and the Empyrean Warframe, and in this situation, it was even more shocking than normal.
The Empyrean Warframe was none other than the Bone Structure of close combat that Ryu had been granted all those years ago during his seclusion in Aika's Sect, but had ultimately ended up rejecting because he preferred the Boundless Cosmos Bone Structure for what it could potentially provide him in the future.
What he didn't know at the time was the kind of history this Bone Structure had.
The Empyrean Warframe wasn't created by a War God Pupil wielder...
It was created by an Ancestor of Ryu's very own Mysteries of Heaven and Earth Pupils for no other reason than to prove a point.
In the far-off past, the Ancestor of Ryu's Pupils and the Ancestor of the War Gods had
a rivalry that could only end in the death of one or the other.
Many believed that this battle was close because the War God was far better in
combat, but the Mysteries Ancestor was far better at planning.
The former would often fall for the machinations of the latter and have to pull himself
out.
The Mysteries Ancestor found this amusing until the Ancestor War God began to complain about his cowardice.
Somehow, this matter began to spread, and it likewise began to affect the reputation and Fate of the Mysteries Ancestor, making him weaker at the same time.
The Ancestor War God thought that this was his chance and he launched a full-scale attack on the world of the Mysteries Ancestor, and at first, the result seemed to be exactly what he wanted.
It looked as though the Mysteries Ancestor had been far too weakened to even see him coming when usually he would have already had everything planned out. There weren't even many traps, and most of what he found were easily blown through. However, when the Ancestor War God made it to the core of the world, he only found
a single man waiting in silence.
It was the Mysteries Ancestor, standing in white gold robes with a careless disregard for the world. However, in the eyes of the Ancestor War God, who had already seen everything in the world, it looked to him like a prideful man who was ready to die with
his head held high.
Feeling arrogant and confident, the Ancestor War God howled into the skies and his Warframe took shape.
He charged, ready to finish this battle in a single, sweeping victory.
However, to his astonishment, the Mysteries Ancestor who had never fought him
head-on before suddenly took a step forward.
The world beneath them rippled with a wave of gold, and the Mysteries Ancestor was suddenly wreathed in armor that seemed descended from the Heavens themselves.
No one knew what happened in that battle until afterward... because the Mysteries. Ancestor killed them all.
It wasn't until the War God Ancestor's head was sent back to his world that everyone learned of the explosive news, but even that paled in comparison to what the Scribes of Fate learned after retracing the history.
The Mysteries Ancestor didn't just rely on schemes to win. In fact, he didn't rely on a
single scheme at all.
Not only did he defeat the War God in hand-to-hand combat, he defeated him with a
Warframe...
The Empyrean Warframe.
It was a sweeping suppression of the War Gods, and it was just one of the many feats crafted by Mysteries Ancestors that resulted in their Pupils often being known as number one.
But for whatever reason, the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth Pupils just hadn't been appearing in normal cycles in recent years. Many remembered its power, but they also knew that it took existences that were truly special to allow it to shine through the
way it was truly meant to.
And now...
CHII! CHII! CHII! CHII! SHUU! SHUU!
Golden bones began to weave through the skies, muscle fibers that looked like
streaming white-gold light taking shape at the same time.
However...
Ryu's intent flared and it shattered.
No... the foundation of his body would remain his Ice Jade Crystal Body.
"FORM."
