Chapter 2074  Aren't You?


Ryu pressed his palms together and his aura surged. The endless black ocean that was his Spiritual Sea began to churn. 
Out from the center of it, a kernel of Spiritual Quintessence solidified, becoming a smooth black marble. 
Then, with a rush, his Spiritual Sea began to churn toward it. 
Large amounts of Spiritual Quintessence began to convert, pooling into this polished black marble and allowing it to grow larger and larger. 
Soul as World was the threshold one could reach, allowing their Spiritual Quintessence to reach a solid state. 
At this level, the worries about injuries to the soul became near non-existent. 
It had to be remembered that whether it was in Sacrum or elsewhere, the soul was very fragile. The reason Visualizations were used in place of normal Soul Techniques in Sacrum was because it was the only way they knew of to protect the soul from direct harm. 
This was why the crystal-edged weapons were so shocking. They allowed one to attack with their soul directly, something that wasn't otherwise possible. 
However, when one reached the Soul as World Realm, the Spiritual Sea became almost akin to a Spiritual Foundation itself, a solid mass that energy could be extricated from. 
This mass provided an extra layer of protection that the soul wouldn't usually have on its own, allowing for more targeted attacks. 
When Ryu first got to the True Martial World, he was shocked to find that they had Soul Techniques that didn't rely on Visualizations at all. He had wondered how they managed it. 
But the truth was that those Soul Techniques were much weaker than they could be precisely because they had methods baked into them that protected the soul. 
Beyond those Mental Realm techniques were Soul Techniques known as World Soul Techniques. These truly unleashed the power of the soul to the greatest extent. 
For Ryu, who already had a soul that could pretty much tank most damage and recover easily, this was only bringing him to a whole other level. 
'World Soul Techniques, is it… it seems that maybe I can start using those as well…' 
There were dozens of techniques his Dao Heart and Soul had created together that he just couldn't use, and World Soul Techniques were among them. Three, to be exact. 
They were shockingly simple and direct in their efficacy, and all three relied on his eyes. 
The first was a mesmerizing technique, the second was an interruption technique, and the last was a direct attack. 
The mesmerizing technique confused the mind. It was known as [Illusory Instant]. He could pull the wool over the eyes of an enemy. 
Of course, he described it simply, but this sort of illusion ability was only a few steps shy of Sarriel's abilities to truly put this matter into perspective. Against an opponent with a soul that was too weak, he could kill them before they even knew what was happening. 
The disruption technique was known as [Sudden Flare]. It did exactly as its description entailed, sending a flare of disruption into the mind of an enemy to interrupt a technique they were preparing. 
Finally, the attack technique… 
It combined concepts of Visualization, his God Aura, and his Soul, to pierce into the mind of an enemy, wiping out a weak soul in an instant. 
It was known as [God's Eye]. 
But to call it an attacking technique wasn't quite accurate. Because it would have been just as accurate to call it a defensive technique at the same time. And that was because…
Ryu's eyes flashed and an illusory shield suddenly reflected in his eyes. 
Mage Lock. It was an ability he had picked up from the Incomplete Heavenly Battlefield, an inheritance from the Magus Sky God. 
Ryu had never forgotten about the methods of protection this Sky God taught him, but it just wasn't good enough for him to use these days, especially now that his cultivation had long surpassed this individual. 
But the concepts worked fine enough. 
[God's Eye] took advantage of Ryu's eyes, or more accurately, their durability. Flooding God Aura that came from weapons into one's eyes was a good recipe for blinding yourself forever. 
But Ryu's eyes had survived a Tribulation more shocking than what most Dao Gods would face… it would be just fine. 
And because of that... 
Ryu's gaze flashed again and a sword formed within them before cutting out. 
The world only seemed to ripple slightly, but Ryu's eyes couldn't help but narrow nonetheless. 
The laws of the world themselves had been cut apart, and there was absolutely no qi in the regions the invisible sword had passed through. 
'Fascinating…' 
He was surprised by the strength of his own technique, something that he never thought he would say. 
This would certainly be a powerful trump card. He would be able to kill most Dao Lords with a single look now. It wouldn't even take much effort or even lifting a finger. 
The technique would be even more powerful if not for the fact his God Aura was holding it back. 
The reason he could comprehend so many Weapon God Auras was because of his eyes and his Dao. But right now, he almost felt like his Dao was holding him back. 
It was an amusing thought if you really looked into it. Ryu's Dao had already transcended the Level of this world several times over. It was a Founding Dao most could only dream of. But he just felt… 
Unsatisfied. 
This was part of the reason he didn't allow his Soul to break into the Lord Realm just yet along with his body. He felt like he might end up needing it. 
Regardless, Ryu stood, feeling that he was ready to continue. 
He approached the three-pupiled woman who was already pleading, tears flooding out of her eyes. 
"Aren't you the one who tried to take my eyes?" Ryu asked calmly. "I hate cowardly people like you the most. Even when they come packaged up with a pretty face." 
Ryu's words fell the instant his hands blurred into action.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
