Grand Ancestral Bloodlines-Chapter 1726 Devour

Ryu smiled from start to finish. It was a bit of a surprising change, and he found this young man to be interesting. It was unfortunate that turning him into a Summoning would cause more trouble than he was ready to deal with right now. Although the Black Thunder Wraiths weren't Demon Kings, they were still too powerful to ignore. And obviously, this young man was probably the best of their younger generation.

The descendants of Skeleton Kings couldn't be underestimated. The Skeleton Races in general were quite difficult to do with because they didn't have any obvious weak points and they could cultivate their bodies a lot like how blacksmiths tempered treasures.

Without having to worry about the frailty of flesh, one could imagine their strength.

Yet, this young man had sent one of their best flying with a single palm and stood amongst their elders without a single care in the world.

His temperament was honestly a lot like how Ryu had once been. Observing his temperament might help Ryu find out just how to take the next step in his cultivation.

The Black Thunder Wraiths and Skeleton King descendants clashed heads, the atmosphere growing thicker and thicker with tension.

It was simply impossible for the descendants to just casually leave because a junior said so. Where would they put their faces at that point?

On top of that, they couldn't face off against Ryu or else the dichotomy between their reaction and that of the Black Thunder Wraiths would be put on full display.

Everyone knew that the Black Thunder Wraith genius hadn't taken action against Ryu because he disdained to bully the weak. If the Skeleton King descendants suddenly did exactly that, then they would lose their face once again.

It was like they were stuck between a rock and a hard place. The only method forward seemed to be to fight it out with the Black Thunder Wraiths. Even if they lost, it would still be the far better outcome.

For a moment, it looked like this was truly what was about to happen until there was a sudden charming voice that floated through the hair.

A woman with delicate pinkish violet skin stepped forward. She had a pair of white horns that curled above her head. Rather than piercing toward the skies arrogantly, these horns curled back, looking almost like a pair of gorgeous braids at first. If usual horns were demonic, these were instead like precious ivory, smoothed and blemishless.

"There is no need for such a battle," she said in a gentle voice. "The solution is simple." Her gaze turned toward Ryu and the others with a gentle smile. "Please take a step down. I didn't want to say anything earlier, but you've made a bit of a mistake. This mountain was actually reserved for another."

Her smile was sweet and there was nothing wrong with her words. It seemed that she was trying to advise Ryu and the others out of kindness. Although they had Lu'card with them, there were too many experts here. There were Dao Sovereigns amongst their elders and there were almost certainly Dao Gods paying attention to the situation.

Dragon or not, it was impossible in her opinion for Lu'card to match up against even a Dao Lord, let alone a Sovereign or God.

Plus, Dragons were mythical creatures, true enough... but they were no more mystical than the Demon Kings. This wasn't the place for a Dragon to flaunt their majesty. It could be said that the young violet-skinned woman was already being quite polite with her words.

But she was actually completely ignored.

Ryu swept a gaze over her, Lu'card didn't even meet her gaze in the first place, and Selheira was too busy enjoying her husband's presence. The only two that seemed like ants on a frying pan were Elise and her butler, but Elise was smart enough to not speak.

The calculation she made was quite simple. Ryu still had an inclination to protect her, but no one else here gave a damn about her. If she suddenly flipped sides, not only would she gain everyone's disdain, the other Demon Races wouldn't feel thankful, they would just think it was only natural that she lower herself to serve them.

Even so, this didn't stop her from gritting her teeth so hard that she thought she might accidentally crack them. This was the most pressure she had been under in her entire life.

The young woman was stunned.

It could be said that this was the first time in her entire life that she had actually been directly ignored.

She was a member of the Dream Devils. The name was familiar because it was only a minor difference in comparison to the Dream Asuras, and that was because the both of them were descendants of the Dream Wraiths. In fact, they were quite similar in a lot of ways. The difference was that the Dream Devils placed even more emphasis on the soul than the Dream Asuras did, their bodies were relatively weak compared to other Demons, or more specifically, Demon Princes and Demon Kings, but with such a tradeoff, their Mental Realm abilities were almost impossible to match.

It could be said that even though her standing amongst the Demon Kings was extremely low as a Demon Prince, she was still highly pursued. Those real geniuses couldn't take her as a main wife because those Races were obsessed with keeping their Bloodlines pure, but there was like not one hot blooded young Demon King who didn't want her as a concubine at the very least, many were even willing to offer a second wife position.

For her to be raised in such an environment, it could be said that she had never experienced rejection in her entire life. But Ryu's gaze was so wholly indifferent that it even left her with a cold shiver.

In truth, she was far more interested in the Dragon. She thought it might be quite unique to have even a Dragon pursue her, so she was looking forward to Lu'card's reaction and she had somewhat ignored Ryu.

What she didn't expect was that Lu'card wouldn't even look at her and even the human was indifferent.

Ryu looked back toward his wife, speaking with her as thought the young woman hadn't said anything at all.

Most had looked over after the young Dream Devil spoke. Her words held a lot of weight, especially to the younger generation. But even to the older, it could be said that her standing was close to being on par with the Black Thunder Wraith youth.

The Black Thunder Wraiths were second only to the Demon Kings, but no one dared to underestimate the Dream Devils. They didn't fight often, but who didn't fear Mental Realm Masters? There was a reason Sacrum had banned them.

No one could have expected that while they were all willing to listen, Ryu didn't give them even a second look.

"Young Miss Wunikai is speaking to you!"

The sudden roar was so close to a real clap of thunder that many looked up before their eyes actually landed on the young man who had spoken.

He was enormous, his skin rippling with a black steel color. He stood at 30 meters tall and the pair of horns on his forehead made him reach as much as 35 meters into the air.

This was no doubt a descendant of the Fire Giants, but they had lost the ability to control the fire element. Instead, they had progressed down a completely new path, reaching the pinnacle of Body Realm cultivation and having skin and bone tougher than even precious metals.

He was, of course, one of Wunikai's pursuers, and unlike those Demon King young masters, he was willing to give her the position of first wife even to the dissatisfaction of his elders. He simply didn't care.

This time, though, he didn't give Ryu a chance to ignore him. It was clear at a glance that while Ryu had looked at Wunikai, he wasn't going to give this youth even the chance.

But just as he was about to charge, the main teleportation platforms suddenly began to light up one after another.

The Wraith Knights. The Skeleton Kings. The Fire Giants. The Ice Queens. The Horned Devils. The Bone Serpents. The Shadows. The Ash Treants. The Dream Wraiths.

One after another, they appeared.

Unlike the other Races, though... only their younger generation appeared. The weakest were at the Perfect Sky God Realm while the strongest were at the Transcendent Sky God Realm.

The auras they exuded clamped down on everything around them.

The young Black Thunder Wraith looked over with black lightning flickering in his golden eyes. His battle intent soared into the skies and the black lightning high above seemed to be triggered by something, falling down onto the mountain peaks with even greater fervor.

At that moment, the Bone Serpents looked toward Lu'card, a black of golden flames lighting up in their usually blank sockets.

It looked as though they had just found a meal they wanted to devour at all costs.
