There was a sudden silence that took over. Or, rather, there was nothing other than the reverberating impact of the palm print.
The Iunae Clan was in a daze. How long had it been since their prestige was challenged like this? How long had it been since an existence dared to stare them in the face and act as they pleased regardless? Even when it came to the Hidden Blade Sect, the two simply stayed in their own lanes, never acting so brazenly against one another. And that was especially so since the Hidden Blade Sect was far too mysterious for the Iunae Clan to dare to do such a thing, while the Iunae Clan controlled the most wealth in the whole of the First Heaven and even had a foothold in the Second Heaven.
As shocked as the Iunae Clan was, the members of the Second Heaven truly didn't know how to react. They were existences of the Second Heaven, yet a mere elder of a True One Star power dared to ruined the proceedings of their selection like this?!
On the floating island, Ryu stood up from his seated position, stretching slightly. He knew that this selection could be considered to be over. Very soon, a large commotion would erupt.
Three… Two…
BOOM!
A furious, towering aura shot into the skies and Ryu looked up out of habit.
Whether it was the Iunae Clan or the Hidden Blade Sect that had already been antagonized by Elder Aika previously, they all stepped forward, their Sky Gods rising into the air, causing a raging tempest of qi to soar.
Whether it was for their own personal feeling, or in order to display their loyalty to the powerful existences of the Second Heaven, they had to teach this arrogant woman a lesson.
Control over the situation quickly spiraled out of control as Elder Aika tapped her can, causing a swooshing silvery qi to ripple out in all directions.
She looked into the skies, her eyes radiant with a blinding glow as she locked eyes with the Sky Gods in the air above her.
Her robes fluttered, her petite frame standing amidst the raging without the slightest hint of hesitation.
The Radiant Star Sect had 10 Fragmented Sky Gods, this was why they were known as a True One Star Sect. However, whether it was Patriarchs, Grand Elders or even most of their Sky Gods, all three Sects hadn't brought everyone out.
The Iunae Clan and Hidden Blade Sect both had between one to two dozen Sky Gods each. However, they were known as Two Star Sects because they had both had at least one False Sky God. Of course, this was a far cry from the Thunder Blaze Sect, for example, which had over 10 False Sky Gods and were, as such, True Two Star Sects.
But this gap was enough for many to look at the Radiant Star Sect as though they were crazy, especially since the only Sky God they had brought today was Elder Aika and no one else. Though, there were still about a dozen World Sea Realm experts with them, in the face of a battle of Sky Gods, how could they possibly participate?
And yet, despite this, Elder Aika seemed completely unmoved. Her hair fluttered, her aura slowly building up momentum.
An elder of the Iunae Clan bellowed in rage. Although he wasn't Galemar's grandfather, he was the young man's grand uncle and could be considered of a similar and close family line. He had been part of the faction of elders who wanted Galemar to succeed the position of Patriarch in the future and had also been the one to react the quickest to protect Galemar.
But who could have expected that he would actually fail in the end? How could he not be absolutely furious?
"If you want to attack, then attack. Why are you screaming like a woman? Do I look like I'm afraid of you?"
BANG!
Elder Aika's words had hardly fallen when Galemar's grand uncle was sent flying into the distance.
The expressions of the Heaven Class World Sea Realm geniuses of the Second Heaven changed. This seemed like it could very quickly get out of hand, how was this woman so powerful?
Without hesitation, several shattered hidden talismans on their person.
When they came down here, although the prestige of the Second Heaven could protect them, the gap between Sky Gods and those below was simply far too large. Even as a Heaven Class genius, the likes of Jenneless had no ability to battle even a Fragmented Sky God even if they were a Common Class genius. The gap was that large.
Since the Second Heaven were sending some of their best, they, of course, had to protect them just in case of any unforeseen circumstances popping up. So not only did they have protective treasures, they also had emergency talismans to request for help.
Seeing things going south, they had no choice but to call for help. Only this way could they re-establish their dominance and prestige. If things continued like this, the selection would quickly become a joke.
At that moment, Elder Aika rose into the air. The ripple of silver she had sent outward formed a barrier of silver light around the Radiant Star Sect's floating island, protecting everyone within as she was suddenly surrounded from all sides.
"Pathetic pieces of trash. I was simply weeding out garbage of my Sect, do I not have the right? But since you want to surround me, I hope you're prepared for the consequences."
Her aura flourished, a clash of dozens of Sky Gods creating a tempest in the skies.
Down below, Ryu's eyes narrowed. The tree he stood within swayed wildly from side to side.
He admitted that he quite liked Elder Aika's style, but her actions now pretty much threw him in a vat of hot oil. This was too good of an opportunity for those that wanted to do wrong by him to act.
