Ryu shot forward with blazing speed. As he moved, the world of white began to twist and warp as the golden runes around him grew more and more dense.

Just by perfecting his running form, he had gained at least a 10% addition to his speed. Whether it was the recruitment of his muscles to explode forth at once, or the stabilizing of his core in maintaining an upright posture, or the smooth transition from ground to forward momentum, the springyness of his calves and achilles up to the perpetual motion of his arms...

Everything was absolutely perfect. A running coach might shed a tear watching him, and the Heavens seemed to continuously praise him as a result.

BANG!

Ryu suddenly came to a halt, a large number of swirling Golden Runes spinning around him, layering upon one another in a complex formation and then suddenly sinking into his body.

Ryu raised an eyebrow when he saw this. He actually felt his cultivation bump up by a small level. So he would get rewarded for being in tune with the Heavens by the Heavens cultivating for him?

How ridiculous...

Someone born with that Bone Structure would be an absolute monster at this sort of pace. They might enter the Sky God Realms before they were even ten years old. That sort of pace was something Ryu couldn't even keep up with.

Ryu could tell that he had lost quite a bit of efficacy from the attempt to help him cultivate. The Heavenly Favor had been neutralized by his Chaos Qi, and there didn't seem to be a workaround for this.

Even so, if he relied on just this and now his Embryonic Qi at all, he felt that he could reach the Middle World Sea Realm in about a month or two. That pace was absolutely ridiculous.

Even geniuses of the Seventh Heaven like Jojo and Selheira spent years in individual World Sea Realm stages. Ryu would have never been that slow thanks to his Embryonic Qi, but just the fact this ability alone had helped him like this was world changing.

It was like he could translate his comprehension ability directly into cultivation speed, and that was something that would truly put the world on notice.

Ryu shook his head and looked around. As expected, he was once again the treasure room, but this time, he was absolutely certain that it was the final treasure room.

It seemed that he had been too paranoid before. The Heavens hadn't punished him or disqualified him at all, instead they gave him a one way ticket to a round all on his own. They might as well have gifted him strength on a silver platter.

Of course, Ryu knew that this wasn't true. That round, to anyone but him, would have been nothing more than a hellscape. It was truly that bad.

If not for his Heavenly Pupils and his breakthrough in creating his own cultivation method, he would have been stuck, completely unable to move. If even thinking gave him those terrible bouts of vertigo, how would he even figure out the purpose of the round? It would have turned him into a vegetable before he could even realize that it was an opportunity.

And even if he did realize that it was an opportunity, so what? How would he have been able to logically find a way out if even thinking would make him want to vomit?

It could be said that Ryu had lucked out, and he had come out far stronger on the other side as a result.

And now, he was being rewarded again for... being rewarded. These days truly weren't bad to him.

What Ryu didn't know was that the round he had just completed had only appeared a few times in history, and yet no one had ever been able to record information about it. The reason was simple...

Everyone that had ever entered it had died.

There was no time limit to the round. It was either you managed to walk out, or your life would be forfeit. The Heavens weren't nearly so "kind".

Ryu, though, wouldn't have cared even if he knew, and that wasn't just because of his arrogance either. Who would be able to focus on something so depressing when there was a mountain of treasures before them?

For as far as Ryu could see, God Treasures like the walls, each one sitting on their own little pedestals.

The weakest of them were Lord treasures, and yet they were in the minority. The vast majority were Sovereign treasures!

Ryu walked forward again, but he quickly found himself to be disappointed. There were actually no Origin Treasures here? He had thought he would definitely see some Dao God Treasures, but it seemed that even the Heavens could not provide such things.

It was impossible that Ryu hadn't performed well enough. He defeated a Half- Step Sky God as a World Sea Realm expert. He consumed three sets of 999 Protector Spirits and even the Diamond Protector Spirit all on his own. He performed so well in the third round that the Heavens created a new test for him, and even that he had passed as the only some in its history.

That meant only some thing: the Heavenly Path simply didn't provide a chance to exchange for Origin Treasures.

Ryu shook his head. This was a great shame.

He had little concern now, but there was some thing still lingering in the back of his mind, and that was his Beyond Perfect Extreme Spiritual Foundation.

He had stumbled upon Infinity Mist, and had managed to complete his Origin Flame, but he still needed many more rewards of similar level to finally break it free. Unless he did that, he wouldn't nevertheless think about entering the Sky God Realm.

Although those Lines of Fate he had gained had disappeared, he still knew the path ahead for his Chaotic Silk Meridians. If he didn't break through with both of his Spiritual Foundations, he could be forced to lose one.

Ryu shook his head. He was fine, he was a Ruin Master. If anyone could locate those treasures, it was him.

"Hm?"

Just as Ryu was thinking this, a message appeared in the skies.

When he read it, his lip twitched.

"These fucking bullshit Heavens. I swear I should have never given you the benefit of the doubt. You're plotting against me after all."
