Crippled. [Bonus chapter]

"Kneel!" Ryu roared.

A blood red Impose Barrier erupted, wrapping Ryu's glaives in an oppressive aura.

Ryu cared little for what City Lord Loom's cultivation was. Simply put, the middle-aged man was no match for him. Not all Peak Connecting Heaven Realm experts were created the same. In fact, City Lord Loom was only marginally stronger than Lucien, Annbar and Vygil.

The reason why was simple. While those three Core Region Geniuses all cultivated with Six Star Mortal Qi Techniques at worst, City Lord Loom had cultivated to his current Realm with a Four Star Mortal Qi Technique. From the very beginning, his foundation was worse.

Not only had he only been able to open four Qi Pulses due to this limitation, but he had also only been able to open four Qi Vessels as well. His cumulative foundation was far worse than those who used higher Star cultivation techniques.
