Chapter 1781 Presumptuousness


    ??1781 Presumptuousness


    This was the first time Ryu had to use such a skill on someone in the same cultivation Realm as him, but he didn''t hesitate.


    The instant the first wave of water wrapped around Niuran''s ankles, he knew that he had made the right decision as his Qi realm cultivation soared to the Perfect Sky God Realm.


    The waters wrapped around Niuran like mother swaddling their baby. A vortex appeared beneath his feet that quickly became a cyclone that lifted him into the air.


    He absorbed the waters and his already tall eight foot stature became over a dozen meters. The flickering spear in his palms expanded, and he suddenly pierced out.


    In reaction, Ryu pulled at the lightning flickering on the surface of the quickly pooling water. But realizing that it wasn''t listening to him, he abandoned the approach and accelerated backward.


    BOOM!


    The ground split like tofu and the earth surged into the skies as though a mountainous tsunami.


    A wave of power still hit Ryu and sent him flying, and soon after came a wave of water.


    The water took the shape of countless blades, each one formed by a clone that seemed identical in all stature but size to Niuran.


    Ryu stomped his foot onto the ground, realizing that retreat wasn''t an option.


    He sent out a series of punches that catapulted the world into chaos and at the same time, his Inner World flourished. He pulled his Bloodlines together and his radiant blue scales became an array of pearly white. It exuded a milky purity that seemed prepared to cleanse the world of all its impurities.


    He was about to pull on his Rage Flames, but when he noticed Venaru and Furmalda in the distance, he cast the idea away immediately.


    BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!


    His fists collided with the water, and he used overwhelming strength to shatter them apart.


    In the distance, the brother-sister pair rode a wave of magma, and seeing how serious Niuran had become, they too began to absorb the fire element, growing into giants that stood no shorter than Niuran.


    Ryu never expected that his first encounter with Fiends would come like this.


    At the same time, with his free hand, he clenched a fist and punched out.


    Rage Flames surged, and he seemed to be able concoct his own fury. He pulled on his Dao Heart more and more and he seemed to shine with a resplendent light.


    In this life, no matter the world, no matter the suppression, he would remain invincible.


    BANG!


    Venaru took a solid blow to the chest and was sent flying as well.


    The three friends landed in the same location, whether by design or coincidence. They coughed up mouthfuls of blood, one after another.


    When they saw Ryu approaching, fear colored their gazes, and they quickly scrambled to their feet.


    To Ryu''s surprise, just when he thought that they would begin another attack, they fell to their knees and bowed deeply.


    Ryu couldn''t help but frown inwardly. These three definitely weren''t cowards. He was confident in his ability to read the character of people by now, especially as his Dao Heart grew stronger and stronger.


    While their Dao Hearts weren''t comparable to his own, there were likely very few across time and space that could bolster such a thing.


    Regardless, their Dao Hearts were only shy of reaching the three tiers of genius, and they were very clearly still young. At least two or three years younger than Ryu. That meant they still had time to sharpen themselves.


    That meant only one thing.


    They were kneeling for a completely different reason.


    "Esteemed one. We are sorry that we didn''t recognize your identity. Please excuse our presumptuousness."


    Ryu''s eyes narrowed, something the trio couldn''t see because they still feared lifting their heads.


    Soon, he understood.


    ''They must have mistaken my use of the Beyond Perfect Extreme Spiritual Foundation...''
