Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 2041 Immortal Lotus Blossom

There were only 99 total Heavenly Pupils, never more, never less. For one to appear, another had to disappear.

And at that moment, ranked 99th across the world, a new pair of Heavenly Pupils took shape.

The lotus shrunk into their Pupils and was swallowed up by the blackness in the end, BOOM!

A pillar of light connecting the ground to the Heavens shot through everything and all that there was.

Eska and Isemeine\'s auras continued to skyrocket, leaping forward by bounds as Fate converged around them.

At that moment, their greatest weakness suddenly began to recover.

Eska should have died long ago. Her Fate Star had run dry, and all this time, she had been relying on Isemeine\'s Fate Star alone. This made them weaker by a considerable amount. Compared to Ryu\'s other wives, their talents had always been a step below, and they rarely fought by his side as a result.

But now... deep within the Abyssal Plane, a dying Star that had grown swollen to the point of near explosion suddenly began to regain a flicker of life.

At the same time, a star that blazed with a fierce bronze fire began to converge toward it, only to be swallowed up by the enormous supergiant star.

BOOM!

The Fate Star exploded, but just when the energies were going to disperse, they were forcefully pulled together by a kernel of energy.

If their current fusion was only temporary, this was a true and permanent fusion.

From now to the end of their time, Isemeine and Eska would be acknowledged by the universe as a single existence.

The death of Eska\'s Fate Star and the devouring of Isemeine\'s paved a path for the birth of a new Fate Star.

Taking advantage of the influx of Fate that descended from the formation of their Heavenly Pupils, their Fate Star only became more and more resplendent until a shimmering beauty of violet and bronze appeared high above them.

Their soft, cherry lips parted, and they spoke words that caused the world to shudder. Dao Goddess... Lotus Blossom.

The Lotus... whether it was the word or the flower, they both had meanings that had withstood the test of time immemorial.

Spirituality... purity... Eternity.

The Blossom...

It represented beauty, life, a new beginning...

Together, they were an immortal sort of rebirth, a perpetual perfection that could be given breath and life again, and again, and again.

However, after they had spoken out their Title, they felt a flare of arrogance light to the very depths of their souls. As though they had been provoked by something, they opened their cherry lips once more to speak again.

This time, they spoke more forcefully.

"Immortal Lotus Blossom."

They did away with the Dao Goddess Title, throwing it to the side as though it was worthless and meaningless. And the moment they spoke out the word Immortal, they transcended beyond the Title of Dao God.

This wasn\'t a new cultivation Realm. There was no cultivation Realm beyond Dao God. Rather, it was a state of mind, a state of Dao Heart, the state of confidence in oneself. Only those that could shed the chains of Dao God had the right to pick a Title without its constraints. Only those that could see beyond the veil of Dao God could realize that cultivation was a path without end... and only when you took this step would you have the right to truly walk your own way to the very pinnacle.

Their Spiritual Foundations trembled and fused into one, their Dao Hearts multiplying in strength to become just a single Dao Heart.

And in that moment, they broke through the final stage.

From Dao Lord to Dao Sovereign. From Dao Sovereign to Dao God. From Lower Dao God to Peak Dao God.

Their white hair danced in the wind, their golden spear-whip slashed through the bounds of reality itself.

To their bodies, a fluttering array of petals formed wings, and hidden deep within their eyes, a blooming, rotating lotus shimmered with a resplendent light.

They took a step forward, and a lotus bloomed at their delicate feet, then another, and then yet another.

When they took a step with their right foot, the lotus rotated clockwise... with their left, it rotated counter...

A bolt of black lightning fell from the skies, then a second, then a third. They moved with such furious momentum that soon the skies were filled with a curtain of them, suffocating and dominating all at once.

Yet, when they ran into a clockwise rotating lotus, they were repelled, being parried to

the side and sent flying.

When they ran into a counter-clockwise rotating lotus, they were shredded apart, eaten up, and absorbed into their bodies to fuel them more.

Eska and Isemeine steadily walked into the skies until they were so close to the Tribulation Clouds that they could reach out and touch them.

All at once, the lotuses that had become their staircase to the Heavens rippled.

"We will call you..." they spoke in a gorgeous, layered voice. "... [Stairway to Heaven]." The world shuddered, and the Tribulation clouds seemed to retreat.

But it was too late.

The lotuses clashed and surged, fusing into one and shooting into the skies, tearing

the Tribulation Clouds apart.

They inhaled once, and the thick clouds were pulled into their noses and mouths, pouring into their bodies with a great deal of strength.

Then, they slowly closed their lips.

The skies fell into silence, and there, high above, the Griffins that had been blocked

outside appeared once again, only for their eyes to widen.

Eska and Isemeine stood there in silence. With a flick of their wrists, their several-kilometer-long spear-whip snapped back together, its chains leaving rattling sounds that shattered space in its wake.
