Chapter 1290 I Don't...

1290 I Don't...

There was a deathly sort of silence. Many of those who seemed to have wanted to compete with Ryu in the future once his cultivation caught up found themselves going entirely pale.

They had never sensed a Founding Dao in their lives, many of them didn't even have a full understanding of what it meant to have one... until this moment.

The gap was so large, so profound. They couldn't even properly sense what level Ryu was standing at. They could only feel that he was impossibly far beyond them, and that was despite the fact that most of them were Sky Gods who had already matured their Daos past the infancy stage and had built their Godhoods.

Whether it was the people of the Radiant Star Sect, or the duo in the skies, both groups had entirely forgotten how to breathe. It felt like they were witnessing an existence that stood beyond them.Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

Ryu had thought a lot about hiding himself. He felt like that was all he had been doing since he entered the True Martial World, which was greatly ironic considering how he had looked down upon that little arrogant Fey woman.

Due to this, he had been completely confident that he could crush Ryu now, it wouldn't even be much of a competition. He was unmoved when he saw Ryu's new abilities, unmoved when he saw him defeat three World Sea Realm experts, unmoved when he felt the strength of his body... But now...

Starlight suddenly realized that he stood at a crossroads.

On one side, there was the option to cower. If he took this route, he would never be able to raise his head up again. He could already feel his Dao Heart crumbling just at the thought that this might actually be a viable option, a constricting feeling taking hold of his chest.

On the other side, there was the option to fight... to battle with maybe the only junior with a Founding Dao in the whole of the True Martial World, likely in all of Existence. The gap between Ryu's comprehension and his own was impossibly enormous, and he could very well lose miserably, maybe even to the point of losing his life....

However, at that moment, Starlight suddenly opened his mouth and roared. It wasn't a valiant roar, it wasn't a roar of determination or glory, it was rather a savage, uncontrolled sort of roar, one that came from the deepest parts of his soul, the roar of a man forcing himself to face his fears.

Starlight took a step forward, the stars in the skies suddenly manifesting as a familiar sword appeared in his hand.

His was red, his expression distorted as veins popped across his body. A flood of star qi descended from the skies, his own Ancient Dao manifesting down in waves, but clearly muted and controlled before Ryu's presence.

"I don't fear you!"

These words seemed to take all of Starlight's strength, but a moment after, his gaze glowed with a blinding light, his Dao taking another step forward and entering the Second Cosmic Grade. At this moment, his Dao had actually taken two steps farther than his current training level.
