Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 2038 Fused Tribulation

CHII! BANG!

The first bolt of black lightning descended from the skies and a flickering blossom appeared in its path.

Sparks flew, and arching black lightning descended onto the Immortal Sakura, threatening to shatter it to pieces...

And it succeeded.

The Immortal Sakura blasted apart in a shuddering rain, but with a flicker of their fused form's eyes, the Immortal Sakura took shape once again, stronger and more complete.

They took another step forward and thrust out a spear.

Their Spear Qi shattered into pieces as well, their golden spear threatening to collapse under the pressure and their wrist shuddering so violently it seemed they might break all the bones in their arms in the next instant.

But their eyes remained steady and unmoved.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

White gold energy flowed through their body, strengthening them and helping their body to

recover.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Every time they met the destructive black lightning, they suffered. By the sixth strike, blood was leaking from their lips, and fragments that couldn't be healed had begun to appear on the Immortal Sakura.

And yet, every time, they took another step forward as though to challenge the Heavens further.

Their Dao Hearts shone resplendently, their Spiritual Foundations churning, and their auras continuing to grow.

This was the power of their Taboo Method.

As much effort as Ryu had put into gaining two Spiritual Foundations, they had it now. As much trouble as he had gone through to establish his second set of Meridians, they had that now. They had two souls, each with their own talents. They had two Bone Structures, each with their own talents. They had two Daos, cach with their own talents... two Bloodlines...

One of them was a close combat expert, having a powerful body and Body Realm cultivation, and a qi that came with an overwhelming Healing Factor that could only pale in comparison to the healing given by Ryu's Embryonic Qi.

The other was an Empress of the Mental Realm, having a soul grown over trillions of years and forming the foundation of a visualization that could have been the basis for its own cultivation system.

When they came together, they were the absolute perfect pairing. And suddenly... they had no weaknesses whatsoever.

PENG! PENG! PENG!

Suddenly, chains came from Isemeine's spear as it separated into several pieces. The spear seamlessly became a whip with a tip that was formed from the edge of a blade.

Isemeine might be an expert of the spear, but Eska was an expert of the whip.

Their talents weren't the only things that fused together... so too did their Inheritances and

Comprehensions.

At that moment, a new Godhood descended from the skies, one that was a perfect fusion of spear and whip.

They stood valiantly in the skies, violet-gold blossoms reflecting bolts of black and a golden spear-whip lashing out against the skies, shattering one Heavenly attack after another.

With every assault they survived, their aura only grew deeper. Their beauty became more resplendent and their cultivations continued to soar.

This was nothing more than their first success. Their spear and whip comprehension perfectly melded into one. But like water that had burst through a dam, the moment they had their first success, the second came swiftly.

Isemeine's Bloodline was already well known. It was the Heavenly Dew Bloodline, one that was straightforward. It gave them practically endless, overflowing vitality, and their blood flowed with white-gold runes that boosted their Vital Qi to unimaginable levels.

Eska's Bloodline was the Zu Clan's Bloodline. It didn't seem to do much for the body, but when it came to the soul, it provided shocking support. It allowed her to convert Vital Qi into Spiritual Qi, adding to her Mental Realm stamina.

However, if one listened to this explanation alone, it would sound quite familiar... that was because it was eerily similar to the Silver Touch Branch of the Martial Gods, existences that were capable of converting Vital Qi to Spiritual Qi, and Spiritual Qi to Vital Qi. These existences were even capable of forcefully taking the Vital Qi from enemies and turning it into their own.

It almost felt like the Zu Clan Bloodline was a step down from the Silver Touch Bloodline. But... When the Zu Clan Bloodline and the Heavenly Dew Bloodline came together...

The Silver Touch Bloodline buried deep within Isemeine was triggered, and suddenly the two came together, mutating around the form of one another.

Moments after they formed a Spear-Whip Godhood, they formed the Heavenly Zu Bloodline.

BOOM!

Their aura reached another stage as suddenly, all of the insights that Eska had on the Mental Realm were converted to the Body Realm, and all of the insights Isemeine had on the Body Realm were converted to the Mental Realm.

A feedback loop was formed between the two, and they suddenly flickered their wrists.

Their Vital Qi and Spiritual Quintessence fused into one, forming a shocking attack that split the Tribulation Clouds in two.

A snaking, golden spear-whip tore through the air, clashing against the Heavens themselves. However, this seemed to infuriate them all the more. The skies shuddered and the Tribulation Clouds quickly reformed, growing stronger and more violent.

And soon, more bolts fell from the skies, only for the next fusion to take place.

Isemeine's Talent Pillars were all one and the same: Heavenly Dew. But Eska's were not.

Isemeine's Bone Structure was only present to support her Heavenly Dew Bloodline. Eska's Bone Structure, however, was seemingly weak.

It was originally a mere Sovereign Grade Bone Structure known as Blossoming Petals. This Bone Structure allowed its user to gain a Spirit Body-like ability to devolve into petals to evade and escape.

This Bone Structure was actually the foundation upon which Eska built her visualization. Of course, a Sovereign Grade Bone Structure might be shocking in Sacrum, but it had to be remembered just how pitiful that was on the scale of the whole of Existence.

From Common to Black, then Earth, Heaven, and finally Sovereign. Eska's Bone Structure was a level weaker than an Ancestral Bone Structure, which was a level lower than a Fragmented Bone

Structure.

Of course, this was just Sacrum's Grading System. To the True Martial World, her Bone Structure would simply be known as a Common Grade Bone Structure. They would never give this Bone

Structure the title of Sovereign.

However, when this Bone Structure fused with Isemeine's under the pressure of the Tribulation... [Author's Note: I think I should probably also say here since I won't be able to for a while given the way the narrative is going... but this is not a permanent fusion. This is just their ideal battle state.]
