Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

The Fate Star Method was the most shocking of them all. It was using a person's very Fate to refine them into a corpse puppet, allowing one to commandeer the luck of their corpse puppet, incorporate it into themselves, and distribute it as you pleased. Ryu only described these methods at a surface level, but each one was truly shocking. Ryu had to create the [One Above All] Dao Method before he could use his Dao Heart the way described in this refinement method. And the fact he wasn't struck down choosing such a name went to show just how powerful his self-created method was, and yet here was a refinement method that used the same concept.

The Bloodline Method seemed to be the most lackluster of them all... until one realized that the bare minimum requirement for its use was a Lord Grade Bloodline; otherwise, it would lead to a worthless refinement.

Lord Grade Bloodlines didn't sound impressive. But first, one had to consider that this was the minimum requirement to just get started with the technique. In addition, Clans with Lord Grade Bloodlines were all exceptionally rare.

If one took the True Martial World as an example, one wouldn't even start seeing such Clans until the Seventh Heaven... but the problem was that the Seventh Heaven was ruled by Sects, not Clans.

As a result, even there, one wouldn't see their first Lord Grade Bloodline lineages until one entered the Eighth Heaven, and even then they were sparse and far between.

In addition, this Lord Grade Bloodline requirement wasn't just a casual one. It required a long line, a lineage that spanned ages.

That meant that just being born with a Lord Grade Bloodline wasn't enough; one had to have been born into the family for it to work.

There were two types of Bloodline Inheritors: those that inherited what they got from their parents, and those that spontaneously gained their Bloodlines, much like one might be born with a random Bone Structure or Spiritual Foundation.

This technique only allowed the former to function, and that's what made it so shocking...

Because once again, much like the most shocking of the three, it relied heavily on

Fate.

And finally, there was the one that Ryu couldn't take his eyes off of, the Fate Star Refinement.

But there was also a reason he was hesitant about it.

For one, everyone's Fate was different. Even if their Fates would be decent because

they were born with good talent, that didn't mean that it was best to use them like this.

And second...

All of these methods were dangerous.

The Spiritual Foundation method, if his Dao Heart wasn't strong enough, could end up impacting him and causing his own Dao Heart to shatter or have a shadow cast over

it.

The Bloodline method could cause the Ancestors to sense him and lash out for trying to harm their descendant. The more powerful the Bloodline, the more dangerous it would be.

And the Fate Star method was the most dangerous of them all.

However...

Ryu grinned. "I already have no Fate anyway."

He could use the Bloodline Method and the Spiritual Foundation Method on the woman. But for Kira, only the Spiritual Foundation Method would work.

Right now, however, Ryu would use the Fate Star Method as a foundation... and the other viable methods as a boost.

Since he was going to build an army, he would do it the most shocking way possible. The woman tried to struggle in the air, but every time she moved, she found herself exposing more of her naked body, and that only made her more embarrassed and furious.

Ryu directly ignored her as his hands moved together slowly. Then in a blinding cadence, he began to swiftly form one hand seal after another.

'I'll need to modify this here, and this... with a tweak here, I should be able to do both. We'll start with the simpler method and combine the Fate Star method with the Spiritual Foundation method. That will lay the foundation for when I need to add in the Bloodline method for the woman later.

Ryu didn't plan ahead for this. He had vague concepts in his mind, but he didn't feel a need to flesh them out beforehand because...

His mind felt like it was riding a shooting star through the skies. His thoughts moved so swiftly and fluidly that combining these complex methods didn't even seem to be that much of an issue.

And there was, of course, another reason as well...

This book was created by someone who had reached such a high level of cultivation that they began to faintly tap onto the edges of Fate and how to manipulate it. Thus, they created these three methods.

However... Ryu wasn't just tapping into the edges of Fate... he had a Soul Nature of Fate and Karma, and the strongest Pupils in Existence.

These methods that took his individual reach to the pinnacle of cultivation to form...

Were practically forged for Ryu himself.

His gaze flashed as he formed the final seals, and there was a burst of light from the depths of his pupils. Images flickered across his irises until he laid eyes on Kira's Fate

Star.

It was a blazing ball of bronze. Rings of eastern flood dragons circulated it and roared out at Ryu the moment they sensed him.

The creatures seemed to be licking their wounds, feeling the despair of their owner, but it was far too late for such regret now.

"You had such potential, and you squandered it by being a coward." Ryu had never seen a Fate Star with such phenomena rolling around it before; even his own didn't have such things.

It was clear that Kira's Fate Star expected him to become a King of Beasts, and yet he decided to go after small fry constantly, too cowardly to target anything that would

give him real strength.

"I'll show you what real strength is."

Ryu's gaze flashed once more, and a roar came from the depths of his soul.

The flood dragons were shaken, only for their sudden movement to catch Ryu's eye.

"I see... so that's what your master wanted."
