Wheel of Samsara

The first lightning strike descended with the swiftness of an instant, appearing above Ryu's fingers in an instant. The Sky Gods who could still react felt their hearts skip a beat, could it be that Ryu was unaware? Why was he holding his pills like that, he should have allowed his cauldron to take the brunt!

However, just when they felt that it was because Ryu couldn't react, he suddenly raised the three pills up.

BANG!

The lightning that should have crushed Ryu sunk into his body through the pills, fueling his Tribulation Seed. His pills only withstood a small amount, his body taking on the rest.

In the end, what was left were three crystal balls with swirling liquid within. On their surface, powerful Runes danced, shimmering amidst the towering smoke columns that surged in all directions. Amidst the hundreds of failures, Ryu stood out on his own.

'Not quite enough,' Ryu thought to himself, looking down at his Embryonic Cauldron.
