Chapter 851: Soul Stirring

Ariad's expression changed. Or, rather, his soul rippled wildly, the scene before him more shocking than anything he had ever seen before.

Ryu's fist was slow, but it seemed to be pushing at reality itself as though he alone remained immovable while everything else was forced to move beneath his will. He hardly put even the slightest strength behind his punch. In fact, even a toddler who hadn't cultivated a day in their lives could have done so faster and stronger. And yet…

'… Oops.'

BANG!

The planet below Ryu splintered into two, the wind pressure of his fist separating the atmosphere and ripping apart the earth and soil until its core was revealed. The instant this happened, its structural integrity collapsed.

A wild rippled of heated magma and explosive qi shot in all directions. However, Ryu reached out a hand, a strong barrier forming and forcing it all to rebound around him instead.
