Chapter 1390 Strained And Limited

The commotion slowly came to a stop and Ryu stood in silence. Many thought that he should feel a great amount of jubilation, but he didn't. In fact, he was enraged with no one other than himself. His mood plummeted and the spatial fluctuations around him only grew fiercer. Many couldn't even get close for fear of what might happen to them in the attempt.

What could be on the other side of those spatial fluctuations? Wouldn't it just be the world that they knew? Even if it was a small world, there was no way that he wouldn't be able to sense her. In fact, if she had long since left his eyes, it should have been at least a year or so in his time, she would have definitely found him by now, no?

There was no one in this world that Ryu could sense better than Ailsa. To put this matter into perspective, he could even faintly feel Mae in the Nether Realm now, although it wasn't clear, the feeling was definitely there. He could sense Elena vaguely even on the Ninth Heaven. But, he couldn't sense Yaana and Ailsa at all.

Originally, he had thought that this was because they were sealed in his eyes, and that made sense. But now...

There seemed to be a very obvious answer sitting right in front of him, an answer that smacked him in the face and left him even more infuriated than he was originally...

They hadn't just been displaced through space, but time as well. How could he sense them if they weren't even living in the same timeline as him any longer?

"FUCK!"

Ryu roared, his voice echoing like a clap of thunder before he vanished entirely. He didn't even say anything to anyone, nor did he wait to accept congratulations. It was as though he had simply vanished into thin air, and only a rare few could even track where he had gone in the first place.

...

Now, in the Soul Ascension Realm, one would purify and perfect one's soul. For normal people, this would polish it, turning it from an opaque white into a crystalline glow at the peak. Once it reached the pinnacle of purity, it would transform, as would one's Spiritual Sea, and the normal Spiritual Qi would transcend to something entirely new. At this point, at the pinnacle of the Soul Ascension Realm, one would be in the Sky God Realm of the Mental Realm.

If there was an opportunity to glimpse what was going on inside, it would be through it.

Ryu looked deeply, trying to find what he needed to see. It had to be here.

Then he realized, he just had to follow the thread of the Silver Star. There was obviously some of its lingering energy here, so he should be able to find a line to his eyes.

'There!'

Ryu found it and concentrated on it. His Spiritual Sense was the strongest it could be in here, and he followed it immediately.

He felt as though his head was being squished from all sides, almost as though he was trying to look down a pipe to glimpse a vast realm on the other side. His vision was both constrained and strained, but he pushed through.

And then he saw it, the realm on the other side.

He fell into silence.
