The two completely forgot about the world, immersed in one another as though everything else was irrelevant. What they didn't seem to notice was that the reaction of the golden path had only become fiercer the moment the two connected, it was as though it was stimulated by their actions, its blessings rising to an entirely different level.
Their bodies and tongues intertwined. Despite having her mouth occupied, the sounds that Mae made were no less soul stirring. It was as though her heart itself was crying out, the feverish blaze of his Soul Flame roaring out of control and enveloping the two of them.
The husband and wife pair enjoyed the comfort of one another in a flame of gold, their silhouettes barely visible from the outside. But even the sign of their shadows moving wasn't something that the others had a pleasure of seeing. They were simply too far away.
The moment Ryu had forgotten about everything, taking Mae down, the pressure in the surroundings had multiplied several times over.
His Birthed Phenomena, which had been present from the beginning in order to help Mae facilitate the formation, suddenly solidified completely, something he hadn't been able to do ever since his Dao Heart shattered... and the result was devastating.
A towering figure of Ryu appeared in the skies. Projected all across the Nether Realm, its aura infallible, untouchable. As the pulsing lights of the golden road increased, so too did its aura.
Mae's flames seemed to be supplemented by a mysterious energy. It rolled and roared.
Within Ryu's second dantian, his Beyond Perfect Extreme began to glow, the hidden death like energy vanishing piece by piece as it solidified. However, this only lasted for a moment before several more cracks began to form.
This time, though, it wasn't because his Dao Heart had shattered again. This time, it was because of the formation of a Cosmic Seed, a Cosmic Seed no weaker than one formed by the Infinity Mist.
A large surge of fire descended, forming a beautiful golden seed covered in dense red runes. Its roots spread, digging further and further until it reached a realm of absolute perfection.
The amount of Cosmic Qi that poured out from Ryu's Spiritual Foundation now could only be described as a rushing tide. The volume increased exponentially, a large segment of it flooding into Ryu's body and increasing the production of Embryonic Qi by a large number. In fact, it didn't. just seem to increase the Embryonic Qi. It rather felt that even the Embryonic Qi itself was changing.
Ryu's second pair of Meridians had formed as a result of his Beyond Perfect Extreme Spiritual Foundation. The moment it connected to his Chaotic Silk Meridians, it had activated, creating a set of Meridians that extended beyond it. It made sense that any changes and improvements to the Spiritual Foundation would likewise impact the Meridians. It was just that this was still unexpected because when Ryu had formed his first Cosmic Seed, the difference didn't seem to be all that great.
However, it was clear that some sort of threshold had been passed. The Embryonic Qi, which had previously gathered in small droplets, quickly became a smooth, flowing river. Its beautiful, pure and white color gained a slight hue of silver to it. It almost made it look as though a silver, mercury- like ambrosia was rushing through Ryu's veins.
Impurities were washed out of Ryu's body. But unlike in usual circumstances where it would be pushed out of his pores, it was instead like they had met their own worst enemy. The moment they made contact with the Embryonic Qi, they're vaporized, entirely erased.
His features became more perfect, his bones shining, his inner organs singing, and his Spiritual Sea, a beautiful lake of flowing black liquid Spiritual Qi began to have the faint inkling of flowing white runes within.
Ryu's entire body had become like an unblemished temple. And Mae, who he was connected to, benefitted from every stroke. It felt to her that every time Ryu reached into her deepest parts, she was experiencing a paradise of her own creation. She couldn't fathom how something could feel so good, her body didn't have any energy to stay up right, and even her legs which were wrapped around Ryu's waist barely had any strength to them.
But she continued to hold Ryu close, her sweat matted in sweat and her lips barely moving. She begged and pleaded for Ryu not to stop, wanting the feeling to continue on forever.
Tears streamed down her cheeks, an indelible mark left in the deepest parts of her heart. But even her tears themselves shimmered like golden shooting stars.
Suddenly, Mae's dantian trembled.
The vast ocean within, anchored by large and looming Cosmic Seeds branching out in a complex network of roots, suddenly trembled.
Her Cosmic Seeds' roots connected to one another, weaving in a complex but organized pattern. They solidified, intertwining and pulling into one another.
In the history of breakthroughs into the Sky God Realm, this was maybe the smoothest. She wasn't even conscious of it, her Godhood forming a large and looming world in his World Sea as though it was crafted just for her.
Her power soared, her features becoming more beautiful and dignified.
But once again, she did not seem to notice at all, her Soul Flame roaring and her wings and arms wrapping around Ryu as tightly as she could muster.
It was then that the blessing of the Birth Right descended. All this time, it seemed that it was nothing more than a precursor. In fact, the flames that had descended and had naturally flowed into Ryu's Beyond Perfect Spiritual Foundation was none other than the mother flame of existence... the Origin Flame.
The Origin Flame was the origin of all flames, the last sparks remaining from the beginning of all things... When it appeared in such large quantities, it could only mean that something proportional was appearing.
This inheritance, though, had little to do with Ryu as this was not his Birth Right.
That said... to be receiving such an Inheritance while so deeply immersed in dual cultivation...
This could only be uttered to be the very first time.
Mae's forehead was hit by a focused beam of light and she gasped, her back arching as she experienced a leg quaking orgasm.
