1220 The Great Enlightenment
Within days of Dragon Princess Yeyou and the human's fight, over a dozen stars had been reduced to mere rubble floating in the starry sky.
Every time their overwhelming spiritual energy collided with each other, a world-ending and star-collapsing ripple would sweep the starry sky.
The commotion caused by their fighting eventually alerted the experts cultivating in the starry sky, and regardless if they are human or beast, they were shocked by what they witnessed.
The beasts couldn't believe their eyes when they realized Dragon Goddess Yeyou's opponent was a mere human man.
As for the humans, many of them were seeing Dragon Goddess Yeyou for the first time, and they were simply baffled by her majestic presence and unfathomable strength.
"Who is that human? And why is he fighting with the Dragon Goddess?"Belonging to .
"He's actually holding his own against a monster like her… I didn't think I would get to see someone fighting on equal footing with her in this lifetime, much less a human…."
"I doubt he'll last for long. More importantly, Dragon Goddess Yeyou has awoken! We need to warn the others and prepare for another ten thousand-
year-long torments before their fight ends!"
After watching their fight for a short while, most of the beasts stopped watching and left to warn other beasts of Dragon Goddess Yeyou's awakening.
After all, every time Dragon Goddess Yeyou wakes up from her slumber, the first thing she always does is look for a fight.
"What?! The Dragon Goddess has awoken from her slumber already?! Why did she wake up so quickly this time?"
"Apparently some human woke her up, and they're now fighting each other in the starry sky."
"Fucking humans! They're always making things more difficult for us!"
"At least he'll die by the Dragon Goddess' claws."
All of the beasts expected the human to last only several days against Dragon Goddess Yeyou, but to their surprise, they were still fighting even several months later.
"What? The Dragon Goddess is still fighting the same human? She must be going easy on him so that it wouldn't end too quickly. That must be why."
"Right? Even the Water Dragon Emperor can't last more than half a year against her, and he has never lost to any humans before."
The beasts truly believed that Dragon Goddess Yeyou was going easy on the human so that she could prolong their fight on purpose, something she has done on multiple occasions, especially when she is extremely bored.
The beasts stopped paying attention to the fight shortly after and continued their preparations again.
Eventually, months turned into years, and years became decades.
The beasts were absolutely gobsmacked when they learned that Dragon Goddess Yeyou was still being occupied by the same human even after 10 years.
"I just traveled to the starry sky and spectated the Dragon Goddess' fight! She's not going easy on that human! In fact, she seriously trying to kill him!" One of the beasts spread this information after watching the fight for some time.
"I was there, as well! There were many spectators, humans, and beasts!"
"A human rivaling the Dragon Goddess? How can such a powerful human exist?! Who is this human?!"
For the first time since their fight began, the beasts started paying attention to the fight more closely and began questioning the human's identity.
Meanwhile, the humans have been watching the fight since the beginning. Some of them even gained enlightenment from watching their fight. When news began spreading, more and more experts began to spectate their fight. Of course, since the fight took place within the starry sky, only those who had the means and resources to travel there could witness the legendary fight.
Immortals, disciples of these Immortals— all sorts of renowned individuals would travel to the starry sky and risk their lives just to witness the fight.
Due to the tremendous spiritual energy being released by the Dragon Goddess and the human, their clashes created life-threatening shockwaves that shattered nearby stars and evaporated those who got too close to their fight, regardless of their cultivation, and even Immortals have perished to the shockwaves.
Despite the risks, countless people still ventured to the starry sky, and throughout the years, many people gained enlightenment from their fight and achieve great things, and this period of time was called the 'Great Enlightenment' by many.
"Master, how many years have they been fighting for now?" A disciple asked.
"It would be the 69th year in 3 days."
"They have been fighting for that long?! How is that even possible? Do they have an unlimited supply of spiritual energy or something?" Another disciple asked.
"Entities at their level have an unfathomable amount of spiritual energy, but it's mostly their spiritual energy absorption rate that's keeping them going. They only use about the same or fewer than they can absorb, allowing them to fight for a prolonged amount of time."
"While it may not seem like that to us, who are far beneath their level, they're not really going all out."
"Then how do they defeat each other?"
"When one makes a mistake or catches the other off-guard and deals a decisive blow. Though, they will eventually start using more and more spiritual energy in their attacks. As of right now, they're simply just using each other for entertainment."
"So they're just playing around right now?! Unbelievable!"
"Logic does not apply to entities at the peak of this world. Try not to think too much about it, or you will go insane like some people."
As for the beasts, they also gained enlightenment, especially those of the Dragon Race.
"Have we found out anything about that human's identity?" One of the beasts there asked.
"No, nothing. It's almost as though he appeared out of thin air. We don't even know if he's really human or not. For all we know, he could be a ghost."
"Just who is that man…"
Despite their differences, both humans and beasts wanted the fight to last forever, but alas, everything in life will eventually come to an end, and after 200 years of constant fighting, the fight finally came to an end with a clear winner and loser.
