Chapter 355: Stardao

"However, it's still useless." Jin Rou could sense the determination of Riverfairy, "Though you have stepped into that realm, it is still isn't enough to match me."

What Jin Rou said was true. Although Riverfairy was powerful, it wasn't still enough to match him. After all, even Grenas and Yuna Sierra were still stronger than her. So what could she possibly do? However, Jin Rou couldn't deny the fact that Riverfairy was the strongest being he had seen here in this world. In fact, she was stronger than the 13 laws true gods of the Templar Clan.

"It's true that you are stronger than me, and this might be suicidal on my part. After all, you might be thinking I'm wasting my life for two dying people." Riverfairy was still calm like an ocean, it was like she was unperturbed of all the storms and ages, "But I have grown old already. Dying isn't a big deal now, with my wishes fulfilled, I don't have anything to ask for."

Riverfairy had lived for so long now. And millions after millions have passed, she was still alive while those she cared about no longer here, including her rival. For her, time was a torture. Many times did she think about committing suicide. However, she couldn't do it because she promised Riverwood to take care of her friends and descendants.

And now was the time to fulfill that promise. Perhaps, she might die here now, her long awaited salvation.

"The path of the dao is arduous. No one could take the easy path or else it will bear no fruit." Riverfairy said with emotions, "And it's very lonely."

For cultivators like her who stood at the very peak of this world, it was indeed very lonely and sad. Because aside from the long erosion of time, there were no longer challenges to polish their dao. Ascension? If she could just leave the river in peace, then she might have thought it through.

"I agree." Jin Rou expressed his agreement with Riverfairy's statement.

Even him, as the most talented individual of the whole universe, experienced extreme hardship during cultivation. Everyone just knew that he was very gifted, and many were envious of him because he made it easy to the top at a very young age.

But no one knew, except his family, how much he struggled during cultivation. Just think about it, he was still a baby when he started cultivating and ended it at seven years old. Just imagine a tiny body cultivating the dao? If not because of his perseverance and tenacity, he might have suffered grave injuries.

He was extremely talented, that's true. But talent only helped him a portion to reach where he was right now. But his determination to cultivate was his driving force to grit his teeth and didn't give up. No one knew anything about this. In fact, even Yuna Sierra and Grenas as his celestial generals weren't aware of this fact.

Jin Rou didn't say anything for a while. Riverfairy didn't say anything to. At her level, she knew that Jin Rou was remembering things worthy of remembrance.

"Riverfairy Progenitor, I'm giving you one last chance." Jin Rou finally broke the silence and said, "Step back and don't mind the two women, and I'll spare you."

This was Jin Rou's last concession. As he had a good impression with the progenitor, he wanted her to choose what's best for her. However, deep inside, Jin Rou knew that it would still be useless.

"I deeply appreciate Daoist Friend's magnanimity." Riverfairy shook her head and her white long hair swayed by the wind leaving attractions of millions, "However, I have to decline it. I am still the guardian of the Endless River, and it's my responsibility to protect them when they are in a pinch, be it they are in the wrong or right."

"It seems you have made up your mind from the very start, with no chance of changing." Jin Rou sighed and said.

"Indeed, Fellow Daoist." Riverfairy spoke and smiled, "This is battle to the death."

"Very well. I'll be happy to accommodate you." Jin Rou's eyes turned sharp. Since the other party didn't want to step back even after giving chances, then he had no choice but to show no mercy.

"Buzz." Then, millions of lightnings have descended to Jin Rou from the sky. Then, it created realms after realms, revealing a large pavilion made of lightning.

"Open!" Riverfairy's brows creased. She could feel the intimidating power coming from this lightning pavilion. Thus, she released all her progenitorial blood and used it as her medium to channel her qi.

"Your Highness..." Fli was worried by Riverfairy's show of power. Using her progenitorial blood right off the bat? As a stardao progenitor, the fairy could utilize her own blood to boost her cultivation and power to its extreme limits.

This was the biggest advantage and force of a stardao, the power of progenitorial blood.

After several seconds, a boundless river with millions of falls appeared above the sky. It was like a nature popped out of the void and made the sky as its living grounds.

"Damn..." Many experts ancient enough to learn a few things murmured, "This is the power of a stardao progenitor. It had the a bit power of creation. Just how many people currently are capable of achieving this? As far as I know, there's only two, Riverfairy included."

It was true. Stardao progenitors had the capability to create a thing, as long as it is possible and within the reach of the progenitorial blood. Meaning, it was just limited to the progenitorial blood's capability, not the brain. And for the other one who's also a stardao? He was slumbering in the deepest part of the Templar Clan for countless years now, trying to preserve his life.

"Impressive." Jin Rou praised the progenitor, "You can manage to use the full capacity of your progenitorial blood. As expected of a Stardao like you, you didn't disappoint me."

"This is just but a tiny piece of the world, not worth mentioning, Daoist Friend." Riverfairy shook her head, "I don't deserve such a high praise from you."
