Chapter 1442 Far More Interesting

The confusion weighed heavily on Adlael and it made him hesitant to take action. He had a feeling that if the others of the Eighth and Ninth Heavens had been aware that these huge changes were coming, they wouldn't wait for the Convergence to reach their Heavens before taking action, they would have sent their youths down as well despite usually disdaining the Lower Heavens.

Were both he and Ramon wrong? Had they been too casual up until this point? Should he throw caution to the wind and take this victory for himself?

Adlael's eyes narrowed slightly. He was a cautious person by nature, and he much preferred to lean back and plan diligently. This was a far cry from how the rest of his branch family members were, most of whom were crazed, battle hungry maniacs. But it was also because of this that they were constantly and unwittingly, often, the pawns of others.

He was tired of that kind of life, but clearly the pride of being a Heavenly Dew was ingrained into his veins. He had come to this Heaven, but he had still disdained it, still believed that there was nothing much it could do for him aside from a scant few things that he carefully decided upon.

I will wait until the next round. If things are still so... odd, it will mean that ! am correct in my presumptions and this Heavenly Path opening is far different than it ever has been before.

Adlael continued to stand in place, watching as the countless auras converged onto Ryu's position. He didn't have any intention of moving, but it seemed that Ramon wasn't the same, and it also didn't seem like this was out of any attempt to gain benefits, at least not the same benefits that Adlael was after.

Ryu's breathing was steady and even. His eyes were closed and his Spiritual Sense had already been torn to the point it couldn't maintain its state at all. It winked out of existence entirely and Ryu was left with nothing, and yet he didn't seem to have the intention of opening his eyes,

The first grounds that made it to his location were those of the Radiant Star Sect, but not long after the four Immortal Deities appeared. It seemed that the Radiant Star Sect had a combined movement technique that they used that pulled upon Star Qi to function, allowing them to outstrip the Immortal Deities who were only casually working together.

Selheira's heart lurched when she realized that Ryu's head was about to be pierced through. She had stubbornly come to a stop, but that slight pause made it so that she wouldn't be able to reach in time.

It was then, though, that Ryu suddenly took a step to the side. It was a precise six inches, just enough that the arrowhead and the arrow's aura missed him. His hair danced in the wind, but nothing else happened even as the ground behind him was torn to shreds.

Ryu's body might be in a sorry state, and his qi might not move to his command, but he had an upper hand that everyone else didn't. He was the only one to have absorbed a Diamond Protector Spirit, even if it was only in part.

Reykian suddenly cut forward like a blazing sun.

"Reykian, you dare?!" Selheira suddenly roared.

Reykian's flight stumbled for a moment, but his gaze only became a steely cold as he rushed forward. Not far behind him, Litaor moved as well, but lojo didn't do anything to stop him, she just looked on, quite amused by the situation. She had thought that Selheira would be infuriated to the point of maybe even attacking Ryu herself, but to think that she would actually say something to stop Reykian. This was all much more interesting than killing Ryu herself.

Selheira sent a gaze toward Jojo and then shot forward. Jojo didn't seem to have any intention of stopping her either, she just sat back and watched the show.

If it was just Reykian and Litaor, there would be no suspense. But she culd sense that there were many other participants at play here, and she wanted to see who would sink or swim. Who knew, maybe she could reap the benefits in the end?
