Chapter 1378 Immortal Deities

Another robust and proud man stood forward. His hair was a bright shade of white, so bright that he looked like a sun himself. This was the head disciple of the Stalwart Sun Sect, Reykian. He was the final disciple to appear, the Fading Star Sect members nowhere to be seen.

In truth, the gathering of these three was quite a sight to behold, and an extremely rare one at that. That was because these were three of the four members the most radiant in the Seventh Heaven despite their youth. They were known as the Immortal Deities. Though... behind their backs, especially behind the backs of two of them in particular, they were known as the Immortal Couples.

Why was that? That was because the fourth, and the only member not currently present, was none other than Selheira.

But many took this to be a joke. Reykian, who had always pursued Selheira, was widely known as not being a match for her despite the fact the two had never fought, and that was because Litaor, who had always pursued Jojo, couldn't last even three moves against her. And yet, Selheira and Jojo's battles were widely known and praised.

Reykian and Litaor's battles were also widely praised and they were well established as equal to one another, and yet the latter couldn't last three moves against Jojo, who Selheira could fight for days and nights on end. It was clear who was superior.

Normally, when two women were so much more superior than their so- called male counterparts, they would never be matched together. It would elicit a rain of toads eating swan meat comments. The problem here, though, was that Reykian and Litaor, though not yet Sky Gods, were widely accepted as the two best bachelors of the Seventh Heaven.

Though there were many men more powerful than them, in the years of the Seventh Heaven, it had been a very long time since existences as talented as them had appeared. It was just a shame that "their women" were even more monstrous than that, practically dinosaurs in such excellent, elegant figures. One might be wondering, then... where was Starlight in this equation?

He, himself, was also exceptionally talented, it was just that he was too young. As such, he was a bit off from being compared to these four... at least in the past. But once more time passed, and the gap of their cultivations closed, there would likely be a fifth Immortal Deity of the Seventh Heaven.

It was just unfortunate that this Immortal Deity had been vanquished before his legend could even take form.

"Oh, that's what it is," Ryu uttered lightly, ignoring Isemeine's ravings.

He reached out a finger and a dense grey fog took shape and wrapped around an end of the chains.

CRACK!

The atmosphere froze and they all turned over at once.

The yelling and screaming Isemeine fell into Ryu's arms weakly, but she continued to curse.

"-you damned, limp dicked bastard! Just you wait, just you wait!"

Unfortunately, it was hard for her to continue to be red faced and enraged when she was suddenly being cradled like a baby. She somehow felt both humiliated and calm at the same time, it was a truly frustrating combination of emotions.

"Hush," Ryu uttered lightly. He took out a robe and covered Isemeine. Then he put a finger in her mouth and sent a drop of Embryonic Qi into her body.

Isemeine's eyes widened. Setting aside the fact she felt like a baby sucking on a pacifier, her body, which had been beaten and worn, suddenly recovered in a flash.

All of a sudden, all of her strength and elegance came back.
