Heavenly Dao Child

A large stone obelisk loomed over them, and the obelisk would have not mattered much to them if it were not exuding such immense amount of aura from it.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=11448539305377005)/the-last-day-in-eden-(part-1)_%!d(string=51533523814768479) for visiting.

Ryuu closed his eyes as he felt the aura for a moment before he spoke with slight awe, "Incredible he even managed to not only inscribe his martial art but also his understanding of Daos, anyone who can decipher it can easily gain a lot from it."

Severing Saber looked at the Obelisk with a frown on his face as he spoke, "That may be so Daoist brother Ryuu, but it would be incredibly difficult to do so, the Dao and the aura of the martial arts are intertwined in such a manner that it would difficult, incredibly so to decipher the martial arts from the Dao."

Ryuu cleared his throat drawing attention towards him as he spoke, "Well from what I understood there are two Daos here the Dao of Fists and Dao of Asura."

Zywia groaned as she spoke, "That means that after all this hard work I will receive nothing."

Ryuu gave a small smile as he spoke, "Zywia I know you know hand to hand combat so you should at least try."

Zywia snorted as she spoke, "Not interested, too much of hand to hand combat would have an effect on my fingers preventing me from playing my zither so sorry I will abstain from it."

Ryuu sighed as he spoke, "Shame, it seems that like you many would abstain, so I hope you all will try and search for some treasures I doubt the owner of this tomb would not have some."

Zywia nodded as she left along with a good chunk of their comrades in search of some treasures while Ryuu focused his attention towards the obelisk.

"Imprint of the fist on the obelisk, and then the imprint of footsteps on the floor, and now we only have to discern the beginning and the end of it."

Ryuu nodded in agreement as he replied to True-Spear, "Yes so true brother but at the same time the other Daos are so intertwined that it might cause a problem when we try to gain enlightenment there is a chance that they might interfere not to mention, someone might end up getting enlightenment in the Dao of Asura."

Many of them winced as True-Spear spoke with a sigh, "that would be troublesome."

Ryuu let out a rather uneasy chuckle as he spoke, "It would be Dao of Asura even if it is not a Grand Dao or Supreme Dao it is extremely dangerous and difficult to withstand."

As he spoke Frozen Ocean discreetly glanced towards Ryuu with a slight hint of fear, as she had firsthand experience of him going berserk under the influence of the said Dao.

Ryuu bit his lips as he looked at the Obelisk as he mused inwardly, 'The skill seems to be at least a Low Tier Nine, it would be cool to deal with it but the Dao is making me nervous.'

He sighed as he closed his eyes in deep thought for a moment, 'No pain no gain, and from what I have been taught fearing the Dao would be crippling as such I will have to step up and deal with it.'

He mentally prepared himself before occupying the furthest corner of the room a talisman suddenly appeared as multiple arrays appeared forming a circle where from sat in a meditative pose.

"Brother Ryuu, what is that array circle?"

As one of the cultivators asked him Ryuu spoke with an uneasy smile, "Well you see I have quite a bit of enlightenment with the Dao of Asura so this is a containment array."

Some of them sucked a deep breath as quite a few such as True-Spear gawked at him, while Frost Flames spoke with a frown, "You never told me."

With a small smile, Ryuu replied to her, "I remember that we would learn about each other slowly."

Frost Flames blushed as she spoke, "Yes, I do remember that as well."

Ryuu smiled at her before he gained a serious look on his face as he spoke, "Is there anyone who needs to use containment array as well?"

As others shook their head the array under him started to work as a small prayer mat appeared beneath, 'I forgot about my mat.', he then closed his eyes while concentrating on the Obelisk in front of him.

Others quickly followed his lead as they began to occupy rest of the space away from Ryuu's position, they were grateful of the fact that at least Ryuu had occupied one of the farthest corner of the room leaving them ample space.

As the others settled down Ryuu was keeping an eye on them, he was slightly disappointed seeing everyone especially Frost Flames seating so far away from him but he decided to push those thoughts away in the furthest recess of his mind as he focused on the task at hand.

'What a foolish idea just because you are close does not mean you would be able to decipher it.'

A few seconds later the darkness in his mind seemed to slowly vanish as he found small faint green light flashing through it, but for some reason, he was unable to perceive even more no matter how much he tried.

'What am I missing? I can touch it but for some reason, it is running away from me at the same time, so close yet so far.'

Besides the faint green light, there was another that was another couple that he was able to perceive a yellow coloured one and another blue coloured one.

'What do those lights represent? The green is the technique but then the other two must be the Asura and the fist, but then again which is which so confusing.'

He then went to catch the blue light when all of a sudden his vision was being completely overwhelmed by the blue light blinding him as well as the urge to destroy everything and bathe in the blood of his opponents increased.

He quickly withdrew himself away from it as fast as he could and soon found his vision being tainted by the yellow colour light, but he knew he was safer in its embrace.

'So the blue was the Dao of Asura and the yellow was the Dao of Fists, troublesome.'

His eyes then fell on a particular corner as he suddenly caught a jolt of green light, 'Did the green light's intensity increase, but how?'

Contemplating a few minutes later decided to once again try to access the blue light domain a bit and he watched in wonder as the green light increase again.

'I see so that is the way it has to be done, I have to keep a balance between them to perceive the technique.'

He scowled inwardly at the thought, 'How will I learn the technique when I am being pulled apart by two different Daos, I had to keep my entire attention to just stop myself from being pulled apart from them, how will I focus on trying to learn the technique, it is impossible.'

Ryuu felt as if he was standing between two boats with each of the legs in each of the boats, which were moving in two different directions, thinking hard the only situation he came to was to tie or at least weld the boats together.

'But how will I do so.', was the biggest question that was in his mind but he had no answer when suddenly an idea came to his mind.

'If I use my soul force then would it work?'

He then began to involve his soul force and soon after trial and error he was finally able to perceive the technique, he was able to see a person, a person contrary to his name looked quite feeble while practising in front of the Obelisk, his feet, his hands slowly began to curve on to the floor and the Obelisk, while he watched the entire thing with undivided attention on his part.

After watching the person practice for a few cycles Ryuu frowned, 'Something is not right why do I feel as if the entire thing is a juts mess, too many unnecessary and repetitive steps that are not required in any form or matter, as such with a sigh he began to slowly began to discard the repetitive steps as the technique became more and more refined.

'Damn what a sly fox, he performed the technique successively at least a thousand times on top of each other, that is a trap, making people comprehend his technique erroneously, but even after that something is missing.'

And soon Ryuu found himself standing on the grass field with the person standing in front of him looking directly at him when all of a sudden the killing intent of the person rose as he was surrounded by strange humanoid beings.

The person took his stance as the first creature attacked him he sidestepped before he hit the creature with a jab with his left hand while his right caught send a palm strike at the other that tried to attack him from the blind spot, both the creatures disintegrated from contact.

Ryuu watched as the enemies of the person became stronger and bigger and so did he as his punches slowly became dangerous even from a great distance, his punches became so strong that it began to shake the earth and tearing the sky asunder, while he moved through the mountain of corpses.

'What a powerful technique, it is at the very least a High Tier Nine, the very first technique of mine that is of such a high level, though disguising his soul force with each strike and movement is so clever, though I understand why he is called a thousand arm Asura, each of his punches seemed to act as if he had punched a hundred times, while he moved in such a way that it looked as if he had a thousand hand with which he could protect himself from any side.'

Severing Saber opened his eyes as he looked around to see most if not all of his fellow cultivators chatting amicably amongst themselves they were in an extremely joyous mood as such he could not help but ask out loud, "Hey, did something you all seem to be extremely happy?"

"One of his fellow cultivators smirked as he replied to him, "Why would we not after all we are leaving Eden within a day."

Severing Saber gawked at the cultivator as he spoke, "Surely you are joking."

The cultivator shook his head as he spoke, "Of course not, why would I do so, check it by yourself as less than a day is left for us to leave this place."

Severing Saber sighed as he spoke, "Ah, I cannot believe that tie passed away so fast while trying to decipher the technique."

His fellow cultivator nodded as he spoke, "So, did manage to gain the technique?"

Severing Saber frowned as he spoke, "I do not know, I learned a Tier Three fighting technique, but after going through all the traps inside the tomb I do not think it should be just a Tier three, at least it should be seven or eight seeing how he as boasting about it."

Devaraj who was nearby, spoke with a grunt, "You are right, a few of us have managed to get at least to Tier Three, the rest either tier two or one, but the majority received nothing, in fact, the Dao of Asura caused the majority of the problems."

Severing Saber sighed before suddenly he went ramrod as he spoke, "Excuse me, what about Ryan? Did he conquer the fifteenth floor?"

Devaraj snorted as he spoke, "Look over there, he has yet to wake up, do you think he could conquer within such a small period of time."

Severing Saber shook his head with regret as he spoke, "Such a pity he was trying so hard and was spouting so much about conquering the fifteenth floor and now here he is tied up trying to decipher the skill, such a pity."

His sentiments were shared by many when all of a sudden Ryuu's concealment barrier fell as he stood up with a smile, "Yosh, I have finished dealing with the Dao of Ausra."

A small cough drew his attention as he found himself staring at the ever beautiful eyes of his would-be Dao companion who spoke with a sad smile on her face, "I am sorry Ryuu but there is less than a day left for us in Eden.", with that Ryuu once again felt his world collapse all around him.
