Aika looked around, but this ti, the surrounding Sky Gods shuddered.
This petite beauty in the skies was practically a raging dinosaur in a small woman's form factor. She had just killed a man so widely feared by their Sects and Clans as though it was just another day, but what scared them the most was that even until this point, they still couldn't sense this woman's Godhood or her cultivation level clearly.
While they still held out hope that Aika was using so sort of treasure to hide her true strength, the solemness of their expressions didn't lessen.
Logically, this made sense, it was in Aika's best interest to display as much power as possible, while also keeping herself as a mystery. However, this didn't seem to make sense when she took out soone who could threaten an Omniscient Sky God with a single strike.
Aika waved her hand and took the saint's spatial ring. She looked at it for a second and seed a hint disdainful before she tossed it toward Ryu.
"You deserve a little reward, Little Ryu. Take this as the first of many."
Ryu blinked, catching the spatial ring out of the air. Even without looking, he knew that the wealth of a Sky God was no joke, and this would be especially so for a ntal Realm Master that was so widely feared. Aika seed to have handed this over far too easily, but maybe she was truly disdainful of it all.
There was nothing Ryu could say so he only nodded lightly, placing the spatial ring in the golden moon world.
Aika laughed. "You aren't willing to look now?"
Ryu smiled lightly and shook his head, looking down at Mae. It seed that she could finally move now, but she was still a hint embarrassed, so her head was still buried in his chest.
"Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing you," Aika spoke nonchalantly before turningbtoward the remaining Sky Gods. "Is there anything else you all have to say?"
At that mont, as though on cue, the rumbling of the earth ca to a stop and the Radiant Star Sect solidified. It lood in the distance, and though much simpler and less magnificent that the other Sects around it, just the presence of Aika alone raised its level by several tis. If a genius like Ryu was taken into account as well...
Many could only suck in a cold breath. Maybe it made sense that they were so bold in getting to this point, they didn't fear anyone to begin with, and rising to the Fourth Heaven might not even be their final goal...
Seeing that no one wanted to step up, Aika nodded to herself. She had expected more battles, but it seed the old fogey she had just killed had a higher status than she had originally assud. This was good, that ant that she had deterred them all properly.
Suddenly, Ryu had gone from a lone genius, to one with the backing of a Sky God no weaker than the strongest Sky Gods in the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Heavens. And the most shocking part was that she should likely just be one of three... Those other two didn't even bother to make an appearance.
Conventionally, this would an that Aika was the weakest of the three, and that only made them feel more fear.
Of course, this wasn't true, Aika was definitely the strongest of them all. But this wasn't sothing they needed to know, nor would it matter either. Aika could guarantee that whether it was Samson or Wan, both of them would have had just as easy of a ti.
The cultivators here could not possibly compare to them.
"Good" Aika said coldly. "Little kiddos, let's go. This mama bear has rewards for you all!"
The eyes of the Radiant Star Sect disciples glowed. They didn't know how they had gotten so lucky. Just a few years ago, they were not even part of the best Sect of the First Heaven, but now they were on the Fourth and forcing them into submission. They couldn't help but feel a hint of pride... but at the sa ti, they felt undeserving.
They clenched their fists. They had to work harder or else they'd simply be left behind. With this sort of prestige, it wouldn't be long before the Radiant Star Sect started to recruit disciples. When that happened, they would have no chance of maintaining their current positions. They understood the ways of the world. It was impossible to expect Aika to always protect them.
Aika gathered up a large amount of qi, gathering everyone up, including Ryu
and Mae.
"A mont, please!" Thera suddenly called out.
"Hm?" Aika looked toward Thera with a sharpened gaze as though she was itching for another battle.
"Big sis!" Mae called out, recognizing Thera's voice and responding before she rembered that she was supposed to be embarrassed.
"Oh," Aika said in understanding and clearly so disappointnt. "You co along, too."
Before Thera could protest, she and Aantha were swept up like children too. She couldn't help but blush in embarrassnt, but she couldn't resist even if she wanted to.
The remaining Sky Gods watched in silence. Elizaren, who was still coughing up blood, looked forward solemnly. He realized at that mont that the youth he thought would be all too simple to deal with was most definitely not simple.
Radiant Star Sect? He had never heard of it, but it couldn't possibly be a new Sect, that was simply impossible. At the sa ti, he just didn't believe that Ryu was from a smaller world either. They needed to find out as much as they could about this Sect, such an existence couldn't pop up out of nowhere. It might even be a sche of a higher Heaven to maximize the Convergence.
Elizaren clenched his jaw as the group disappeared into the distance. Furious, he sent voice ssages to everyone in the vicinity.
'Use all of your connections, find out everything you can about the Radiant Star Sect imdiately!"
