There was a shocking silence that echoed at that moment. Silence shouldn't have been able to do such a thing, but at that moment, it was akin to a blaring siren in their heads.
This was more than just a naked provocation; it was something far worse. It was akin to a direct slap to the face, and the dignity of a Dao God was impugned enough.
At that moment, Dao God Luminara rose from his seat, a violent pressure spreading out. However, he had barely stood when Ryu's voice broke the silence.
"What are you peacocking for? Do you think I'm not aware that you can't do anything but piss in place right now?"
Ryu's words seemed to have become more roguish. He didn't care about anything else, and many of the shackles that had been invisibly holding him back shattered one after another. His Temperament was finally reflecting the deepest depths of his heart.
