The shocking appearance of Ryu's two Thrones was like a curveball not a single one of them could have ever expected. Facing off against it, not only did Saagar suddenly feel like he had underestimated just how crazy this young man was, for so reason, he got the impression that he was truly small and insignificant in Ryu's eyes despite being far more powerful by any normal standards of asurent.
Saagar was blown away by the aura and sent tumbling away.
Several powerhouses began to appear in the surroundings, Star River being the fastest of them all. When she saw the two Thrones, she went completely pale.
Never in her wildest imaginations did she think that Ryu would do this. Challenging another Throne with just one was insane enough. But challenging one with two…
Just how could a person do this? What the hell was he thinking?!
Ryu didn't bother to check in with anyone. With a casual step, he entered the Throne challenge.
…
A beautiful world appeared before Ryu. Every Throne Challenge was different, but they all hinged on one thing: combat power. No matter what kind of Sect you were talking about, unless you had the strength to take up the mantle of Throne, it was worthless.
However, what kind of combat power, the dium through which you exhibited this combat power, and what tools you were allowed to use to display those skills, would all be different.
The two Throne challenges that Ryu had faced until now had both been the simplest and most straightforward: here's an arena, just fight.
But Ryu could already feel that this was sowhat different. At the very least, rather than a world of foggy white, or a simple arena like it had been the last two tis, there was sothing more special about this world.
However, from the outside, it didn't look much different at all. The only change seed to be that rather than standing on a slab of rock, he was instead standing on soft grass.
Birds chirped in the air, butterflies fluttered in and out of his periphery from ti to ti, and there was the sweet sll of lavender in the air that would, from ti to ti, gain a hint of the sharpness of spice and honey.
It was a world that could allow you to fully relax.
At that mont, the grass swayed to the side as a particularly strong gust of wind blew by. The coils of the greenery wrapped around one another until they ford the body of a beautiful woman.
The woman's skin had a touch of green to it, but rather than making her look alien, it felt more exotic than not. Her figure wasn't of the outrageous sort and was more ta, but there were still curves where there were ant to be curves. Her dress was certainly light enough to prove that, the rushing wind causing it to cling to her body.
…
Everyone in the outside world was floored.
They knew exactly who that was. Wasn't that Sovereign Erald Vine? How could she be the first to appear?
The Sect was simply too young. The rolodex of genius talents that had risen up through their ranks that could also appear in such a Throne challenge was limited. The fact that Ryu already had two Thrones constricted that list even more.
There was simply no way that any one of these challenges would be easy. But that didn't stop them from being stunned nonetheless.
Sovereign Erald Vine was a Natural who many felt had top five odds of being their Sect's fifth Dao God. This was a great pride to their small Sect, as despite their youth, they actually had more Dao Gods than most powers in this world already.
She was known for her gentle personality, but her abilities, especially in an arena like this one, were shockingly frightful.
Back when she was still of low enough cultivation to frequent battlefields, she had been a true terror of area control. It could be said that as long as she was the commander of an army, their overall strength would increase by at least 50%.
And now, not only had she appeared, but she was already of the Peak Transcended Realm, a full two Realms above Ryu. This matter was maybe even the most shocking.
They still wouldn't believe that Ryu had a chance if they were at the sa cultivation Realm, let alone now.
Although crossing Realms was more common in this world, that was a matter of relativity. Sovereign Erald Vine was no normal Sovereign and could be considered to be an existence that stood near the pinnacle of what was possible for talents of this world. As such, crossing these levels to do battle would be impossible.
In Ryu's opinion though… he couldn't help but smile.
Was his wife helping him out? First the arena, and now this Realm?
He rembered that when he fought against the Dual Radiance Star Sect remnants, the Realm of his opponents was also around this much higher than him. He had fully expected his first opponent to be an Omniscient at worst considering this was his third Throne. In fact, he wouldn't have been surprised even if it had been a Lord.
'Maybe not…' Ryu thought.
Now that he thought about it, his second Throne Challenge had been tampered with. So it was actually much harder than it should have been.
That seed to open the door for Ailsa tampering in reverse this ti, but she wouldn't do that for two reasons. First was his own pride and her expectations of him on top of that. But the second reason was that it was unlikely to be possible.
The Dual Radiance Star Sect's Throne Challenge was rife for subterfuge because its Faith was in a ss. They had split into two halves, each of which were fighting amongst one another, making them very susceptible to outside interference.
Ailsa's Sect, however, had no such weaknesses to take advantage of. Adding on top the fact his wife was being suppressed in a Holy World, it was highly unlikely that she would be able to even if she wanted to.
But that was fine by Ryu.
With a light smile, he flipped his palms and a pair of new Great Swordstaffs manifested.
It was about ti he showed off for his wife a bit.
