Chapter 1943 Doubt


    [Ephemeral Tapestry].


    [Beyond Perfect Body].


    Ryu''s body shook slightly and blinding light began to swarm beneath his skin. His veins gave off a bright rainbow-like color that was quickly overwhelmed by gold, black, and an icy blue. These colors came together in a beautiful array, forming a map of complex runes and tattoos across Ryu''s body before it suddenly solidified.


    At that moment, there was a resonance between Ryu and the world around him. When he suddenly opened his eyes, there was a bright flash and deep within them, it was possible to see the roaring forms of his Bloodline Birthed Phenomena, as though they were souls trapped within his Inner World.


    Though trapped as they were, they didn''t seem to be fighting it. Instead, they were displaying their majesty, their shadows growing in size and then fusing into Ryu''s body.


    Scales danced into being across Ryu''s body, his claws growing from his hands and a trembling power exuding from his frame.


    Ryu had simply never felt such strength in his life. He felt so powerful that collapsing mountains would be a matter of a single finger, so powerful that a single stomp to the earth would make even the skies above quake.


    His hair danced with an icy blue color, pervaded by strands of gold and dense blackness.


    Flames of various colors danced around his wrists and ankles, flashes of lightning pulsing in his eyes. With every beat of his heart, his veins bulged and his muscles squirmed as though they were going to burst out from his skin.


    Right now, he didn''t quite look like a humanoid dragon. In fact, he looked far more human than anything else. Even the scales on his body were both sparse and illusory, almost as though he was wearing qi armor rather than his own skin.


    ''Strong...'' Ryu thought to himself.


    Star River''s lip twitched as she looked at Ryu.


    First, she was a Dao God. Not just anyone could come and see her when they pleased. But not only had Ryu come, he strolled into her territory and right into her courtyard. No one could even stop him because technically speaking, a Throne did have access to the entirety of a Sect or Clan.


    These were privileges that Ryu had earned through his own combat strength.


    Second... was he asking her to break rules to give him what he wanted?


    Ryu had come here and essentially asked her to give him access to a Holy World she had no jurisdiction over whatsoever.


    Technically speaking, since this was a Sect headed by a Peak Dao God, there was nothing anyone could do to stop her. They might even assume that it was Ailsa''s direct order. But...


    Star River looked toward a beauty that had been sitting across from her. This was none other than the second Dao Goddess Ryu had seen on the day of Hope''s breakthrough.


    She seemed to be much more serious than Star River, and from what Ryu had heard, she was known as Plucking Stars. That was quite a domineering Sky God name, probably one of the most domineering Ryu had ever heard. Just from the Title alone, he could tell that she was actually much more powerful than Star River.


    However, despite Ryu''s demands, she actually didn''t say anything at all, just staring into space silently as though this matter had nothing to do with her at all.


    "The situation is not good right now. Stirring trouble like this will just make things go from bad to worse."


    "I highly doubt that." Ryu said casually. He was just one person.


    "Sending you in isn''t the problem." Star River almost hissed in exasperation. "But if you actually clear the Holy World again, everything will erupt."
