Chapter 1731 Missing

"Piss off!" Ryu cursed, slapping out a palm.

It was almost immediately absorbed by the anglerfish as though he wasn't even there. Getting a gauge on the beast's actual strength was difficult as it didn't seem to conform with any sort of norms.

The antenna enlarged before his eyes, its teeth baring as it bit down toward his body.

This sort of attack, even if you managed to survive it, could only lead to bad things. Who knew what kind of terrible toxins and troublesome infections you'd have to deal with because of a small nick, let alone an all out bite.

Ryu clenched his teeth.

"The attack was fast, too fast. He was letting his frustration influence his judgment when that was the last thing he should be doing. He was better than that, far better."

Space warped around him and his expression changed again.

"His Spacetime Soul Nature was suppressed to this extent in this world? Why?"

BANG!

Ryu was sent flying, the faintest flickering images of an Immortal Sakura forming in the air for just a moment before the blow connected. Rather than biting down Ryu, the anglerfish found its antenna spiraling back and out of control.

Ryu coughed, feeling a spike of pain in his Spiritual Sea. The Immortal Sakura was ultimately still a Visualization and the harm done to it could reflect back on his soul if he wasn't careful.

"But at the same time, he realized something else. This mutated anglerfish was also far weaker than it should have been. Even an Omniscient Sky God from the Sixth Heaven should be stronger than this. Was it because of the state of its body?"

"The confusion just continued to pile up."

"He had suddenly run into an Omniscient God Beast when this trial should have been designed for juniors far weaker than this. His Spacetime Soul Nature was at a point where even the Ninth Heaven had no ability to suppress him, so how the hell could this world do so? And now the anglerfish's strength was fluctuating wildly in his senses."

Ryu frowned and a flickering Qi skin appeared around him. He would have preferred to use space for something like this as his qi still felt like an extension of himself, but his Spacetime Soul Nature didn't want to cooperate with him.

"He stopped bobbing on the surface and allowed his body to sink into the water."

"The first thing he noticed was how restricted his Spiritual Sense was. He had long since stopped counting just how far it could go because there was never a point in actually looking so far. At this stage, most almost never used their Spiritual Sense to their maximum degree, not only would it be highly likely to offend the wrong person, but no one needed to actually see so far."

"However, when it was restricted to this extent, you couldn't help but notice."

"Ryu's own was a mere single kilometer now, and he had a feeling that for most of the others it was probably even worse."

"Luckily, he had [Third Perspective], but when he shifted to using it, it was once again a perfect single kilometer."

Ryu came to a full stop.

"Instead of descending further, he went back up to the surface."

"His expression was serious."

"If before he only had the vague feeling that someone was messing with him, right now he was absolutely certain that this was the case."

"Restricting even his Heavenly Pupils? It was absolute nonsense. There was something else going on here."

"Ryu looked around again and then unleashed his Dao."

"The full brunt of a Founding Dao rushed out in all directions and his eight trigram diagrams appeared in his irises. The water churned and rippled, the dark clouds above rolling in waves."

"Then it all came to a stop."

'Something is missing in my Dao.'
