BOOM!
A world-shaking aura descended in a furious tempest.
Right then, a Dark Fiend suddenly appeared high in the skies, not far from where Ryu had just been standing. But it was obvious that he was a step too late, having missed out on Ryu by a hair's breadth.
Obviously, all of this had been perfectly calculated by Ryu.
The Dao God was too used to those far beneath his cultivation Realm being unable to read and react to his presence. He had no idea that Ryu had long since locked onto him with [Third Perspective].
By now, his [Third Perspective] was so powerful that even Lower Dao Gods couldn't easily sense it. The Fiend had no idea that he had been observed from the very beginning.
Of course, [Third Perspective] was originally a technique of Ryu's Heavenly Pupils that most couldn't sense at all. In the beginning of his journey, he used it like a cheat to read the cultivations of his opponents even when most wouldn't be able to do so.
