Ryu casual glance in the distance didn't carry any fluctuation in expression. However, the instant his senses locked on to Ancestor Basteel's aura, abrupt changes began to occur around the wizened man.
A chilly frost whipped into action, carrying along with it countless falling blossom petals.
Ancestor Basteel instantly felt that his path forward was obstructed. A deep chill assaulted his bones as he tried to pierce his way through, but he suddenly found the resistance of each of these seemingly insignificant snow petals was akin to a Half-Step Immortal Ring Realm expert.
This matter wasn't without consequence to Ryu. Every shattered petal was yet another blow to his Mental Realm. However, he managed to slow Ancestor Basteel down to less than a tenth of his original speed. At the same time, the pace as which he was burning through that strand of Cosmic Qi had accelerated once more.
