1787 End
Ryu threw a casual glance over. He knew that that whip was meant to scare him. She had sent it out from over 500 meters away and its precision was deadly.
But not only did he not flinch, he didn't speed up either.
Ryu knew that at this point, being arrogant would only make her focus all the more on him. This was much the sfor Commander Tiger, who had turned his gaze on him more than once by now.
He just didn't care.
If he had to break his cover and make a run for it, that was preferable to whatever nonsense this woman wanted out of him.
As expected, the woman was even more furious that Ryu hadn't even reacted, but she couldn't justify attacking him either because his speed was at least on par with the other True Sky Gods. In fact, he was faster.
There was nothing wrong with his actions at all. It just seemed that he was too nonchalant for her liking.
Soon, Ryu had exited the range of her whip and she forced herself to swallow the insult.
"Givethe orb." She commanded.
Her lieutenant quickly rushed over and handed it over.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHigh in the skies, several raven-like creatures were set loose and the images on the orb began to flicker.
She found Ryu quickly, but he was still not doing anything out of the norm.
A sneer spread across her face. She was going to enjoy this.
…
Ryu continued to job along, but for someone with a body as powerful and as light as his own, he crossed hundreds of meters with just a single casual stride.
His head tilted up to the skies. He noticed the ravens the moment they released and couldn't help but inwardly shake his head. It seemed that this situation would get even more troublesnow.
However, he maintained his calm.
Soon, the roars of battle entered his ears.
[Third Perspective] activated in full force and the entire battlefield was reflected in Ryu's eyes.
Commander Tiger was already clashing high in the skies with another Dao Sovereign. He didn't seem to care about anything other than his own battle.
But this sight shocked Ryu.
'A Fey…'
He had subconsciously assumed that he would run into humans. It was the Human Race that ruled the Real Plane of the True Martial World, so that was what he was used to.
But it seemed this world was even odder than he knew. It seemed that it wasn't just the lines between Order and Chaos being blurred, but also the Real, Ethereal and Nether Planes as well.
Their enemies seemed to not just be the Human Race, but there were Demons, Faeries and even Beasts. In fact, Humans seemed to be in the minority.
'More trouble…' Ryu shook his head.
He almost carelessly avoided one battle after another, charging further and further into enemy lines.
The terrain was messy and anything but a flat plain. So it was almost too easy for him to both pretend like he was still charging and conveniently shrug his shoulders at the lack of enemies.
He was sure that the woman was losing her mind by now, but Ryu didn't have the mind to care about her anymore, especially when he saw the border of the Real and Chaos Plane ahead.
'Wow…'
It was like a waterfall of rainbow light. It stretched from left to right as far as the eye could see, not to mention infinitely into the skies.
The image on the other side was distorted, making it difficult to tell exactly what was going on. And his [Third Perspective] seemed unable to make it through either.
'Odd… Such a large phenomenon should be clearly visible from everywhere in the Chaos Plane. But it wasn't until I entered this 100 kilometer range that I could see it at all…'
Another issue was that Ryu was about to reach the end of the battlefield. He had made it almost all the way through unhindered. But if he kept charging forward now, he would definitely be intercepted or even directly killed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOther True Sky Gods might not be able to tell, but Commander Tiger was definitely fiercely suppressing the Fey Dao Sovereign. He still had more than enough strength to pay attention to the battlefield.
'Do I just make a break for it?'
Ryu wondered what he should as the thorny Commander was practically ripping her hair out, trying to understand how Ryu was so lucky.
'I still don't know what's on the other side, but I'll never know until I cross it at this point. That's a risk I'll have to take no matter what. But…'
Ryu's gaze flickered. 'Let's take a different approach. Since the battle line is too close, let's push it further.'
Suddenly, Ryu's aura boomed. The thorny Commander's excitement finally returned as Ryu ran into a Perfect Sky God. It was a treant Demon with a humanoid appearance. It looked no different from a man of wood.
The moment Ryu appeared before it, its aura surged.
Ryu looked like he had accidentally run into this opponent, but only he knew that he had done it on purpose.
He dodged out of the way of a tree root shooting through the earth.
This treant might seem to have Perfect Sky God strength, but in his environment of oppressive heat and concentrated Chaotic Fire Qi, its wood element was highly suppressed. It couldn't even bring out half of its strength.
Clearly, the human cannon fodder had the scorruption issues, or else such a combatant would never be sent here. Someone obviously wanted it to die.
So Ryu would just oblige.
He flickered with lightning, his fists rumbling.
The battle between Ryu and the treant roared and suddenly began to roll into several others.
The battlefield which had begun as a flurry of one on one and sometimes two on one battles was quickly warping and becoming a cluster of carnage.
'Good. Let's continue this.'
