Chapter 1525 Shameless

Chapter 1525 Shameless

Ryu sat in silence for a long while, his mind spinning with many thoughts. It seemed that he was unwilling to give up just yet, but all signs pointed toward this matter being impossible to deal with.

"Don't risk your life on something so stupid-"

Ryu's gaze suddenly flashed with a blinding light. He completely tuned out what the little woman was saying, his mind entering a slight state of enlightenment. Of course, this wasn't serendipity, but rather because he finally had his eyes back. He could slip into States of Meditation whenever he wanted now, and his already insane comprehension abilities were touching upon an entirely new level.

'Yes, yes, that can work.'

Ryu's fingers spasmed, and a soft cloud of Cosmos Fog took shape. He began to manipulate the clouds into the shape of an oddly twisted formation. Usually, formations were perfectly symmetrical and perfectly polygonal-meaning they tended to be shapes that were equal on all sides. Unbalance Formations were exactly that, unbalanced. This Shadowless Trace formation looked like someone had taken a cylinder, fixed the top and bottom, and then randomized all the points in between, turning it into an almost twisted tree of some sort.

Ryu observed the formation for a while and then began to pour spatial qi into it. He seemed to be testing something. The longer his experiment went on, the brighter his gaze became.

'Perfect, I was correct.'

Ryu had suddenly had a flash of inspiration. One of the many skills of his Bone Structure was the ability to create his own personal warp on time. He hadn't used this ability much recently, mostly because he was constantly on alert toward a black hole trying to shred him to pieces, but it wasn't one he forgot.

The capacity to distort time for yourself personally, and yet not suffer any loss in comprehension of the Dao, was absolutely huge. If Ryu wasn't the only one capable of this, he was probably among a very, very, very small elite few.

Normally, when time was adjusted around cultivators, the laws around them would distort, making it impossible to meditate on the Dao without entering cultivation deviation. However, not only did Ryu not have this problem, he had his own personal system within his body, and because his Meridians were connected to the entire Chaos Plane, there technically wasn't any limit placed on him aside from Focus Qi.

This was an amazing ability, so amazing that Ryu completely forgot that his Bone Structure had been granted to him by the Heavens not just due to a sudden comprehension of Space, but also one of Time as well.

He had been so enamored with what his Bone Structure could do in the aspects of time that he completely neglected to check what it might be able to do with space.

If he could create his own personal timeline where time was substantially quicker than the world around him, then why couldn't he create his own personal space, where space was much larger than the world around him?

When he had this thought, he immediately created a formation out of his Cosmos Fog, and much like he did when he quickened time within himself or slowed it depending on one's perspective, he could change the space in and around himself to his own unique perspective as well.

In addition, he wouldn't have to change his side at all to accomplish this.

Ryu squeezed his fists and grinned. Then, his skin began to shine lightly as his Bone Structure took action.

Within him, the space the formation took up became larger and larger.

Ryu took a breath and exhaled.

He had already come to understand that the reason this formation was better the larger the area was because it took strength from its size. It was likely anchored in the void and used aspects of space and time to fuel it. In addition, the more folds of complexity and reality that it had to take advantage of, the harder it was to see through it.

Due to this odd coincidence, Ryu didn't have to apply any more energy than the Cosmos Fog he used up to give it substance and life.

'I think I can sustain this for... about three hours? Taking into account Focus Qi and the drain on my Cosmos Fog... I'll try to keep this journey to two hours, though it will be difficult...'

Ryu had just made it to the outer ring of the Raging Inferno Sect. Considering the sheer size of these Sects, it would usually take days of travels to make it from one end to another. Three hours was most definitely not enough. But, it was better than nothing.

Ryu shot forward, and his eyes narrowed almost immediately.

The amount of silvery runes floating around him had expanded by hundreds of times.

'Could it be...?'

Ryu realized that because his body was technically taking up a larger space, every one of his movements was likewise becoming more and more in tune with the Heavens. As such, for a given movement, he gathered even more runes than he should have.

'What an unexpected find...'

Ryu's speed likewise increased hundreds of fold from his previous expectations, shocking him. The good news just appeared to keep coming for him.

Right now, moving through the void, and using his Spectral Wings to boot, he was probably at the very top end of what a True Sky God could manage.

After some thought, he mumbled beneath his breath.

"[Earth Gate]... open."

His speed skyrocketed once again, though he had an extra drain to worry about. At this point, his speed was on par with Perfect Sky Gods.

Ryu grinned. "Who said the gap between Sky God Realms was insurmountable, again?"

When the little woman heard this, her first intention was to cough up blood. Did this little brat think that all of this was normal?

"Don't get on your high horse. Everything is always relative. If you have such abilities, others can have their own unique talents as well."

"What was that?" Ryu asked. "I can't hear you."

"Shameless."

Ryu's laughter resounded with a boom, and yet no one of the Raging Inferno Sect could even hear him.
