There was a deathly sort of silence. Many of those who seemed to have wanted to compete with Ryu in the future once his cultivation caught up found themselves going entirely pale.
They had never sensed a Founding Dao in their lives, many of them didn't even have a full understanding of what it meant to have one… until this moment.
The gap was so large, so profound. They couldn't even properly sense what level Ryu was standing at. They could only feel that he was impossibly far beyond them, and that was despite the fact that most of them were Sky Gods who had already matured their Daos past the infancy stage and had built their Godhoods.
Whether it was the people of the Radiant Star Sect, or the duo in the skies, both groups had entirely forgotten how to breathe. It felt like they were witnessing an existence that stood beyond them.
