Chapter 61: The Eye of Death in a Vast Area
Just as its name suggests, the Thousand-eyed Demon possesses at least hundreds of demon eyes. Once it appears, these eyes fill the entire sky, plunging the world into a peculiar spatial environment.
Within this spatial realm, paths become sealed, and one must defeat the core Thousand-eyed Demon in order to escape.
It can be described as a domain, or as a manifestation of an illusion.
Without a doubt, under this gray sky, even Captain-level experts cannot leave at will.
As the number of demon eyes rapidly increased, everyone’s pupils widened. “Are there too many demon eyes?”
“There must be something wrong. One hundred, two hundred, three hundred… and more?” Wang Lixian displayed a look of fear.
The Thousand-eyed Demon becomes more terrifying the more eyes it has. Typically, having over a hundred eyes classifies it as a top-tier Chaotic-level monster, but this Thousand-eyed Demon already exceeded three hundred eyes!
What level was this?
“While we’ve drawn it out, the strength it possesses is completely unexpected. One hundred eyes are manageable, but if it has two hundred, three hundred, or even more, then it becomes a significant problem!”
“This Thousand-eyed Demon has evidently surpassed the upper level of Chaotic, reaching a freak level. Everyone…”
Yun Wen suddenly drew his blade, the golden and black patterns on his forehead intertwining and spreading. “Spiritual Roots revival!”
Boom!
Ten waves of spirit energy surged downward.
Everyone entered the state of Spiritual Roots revival.
In the distance, Liu Wujing no longer bothered to hide, revealing his figure and gazing solemnly at the countless demon eyes in the sky.
In front of everyone, Liu Wujing’s voice echoed across the entire Duanqiao River: “Chao Zichong, Yun Wen, we must act first. This Thousand-eyed Demon has at least five divine powers. If it survives, it will become a Great Disaster during the impending calamity, and it will be too late for regrets then…”
“Roar!”
A tiger’s roar resonated across the battlefield.
Yun Wen pulled out his large sword and strode rapidly into battle, his cold black armor seeming to transform into a fierce tiger.
This tiger quickly dissipated, turning into golden chains that wrapped around his entire body, especially encircling the large sword in his hand, which almost became entirely golden.
“Then let’s go! Liu Wujing!”
Yun Wen roared, and the rock pillars beneath him rose. The faster he ran, the higher the pillars surged into the sky.
“Water Law Protection!”
Before Yun Wen departed, Xiang Liangren detached the water beads in his hands, transforming them into independent water beads that enveloped Yun Wen in a layer of blue protective energy, with healing properties.
Yun Wen did not look back; as he ran, the presence of his large sword grew more terrifying. When he reached a height of one hundred meters, he suddenly swung his sword, and a golden crack instantaneously tore open, spreading directly towards the demon eyes in the sky.
This caught the attention of the Thousand-eyed Demon, with some of its previously fixed gaze shifting toward Yun Wen.
Within its eyes, gray light erupted.
“Boom!”
With one slash of his golden sword energy, dozens of demon eyes shattered into pieces.
However, the gray light did not waver, crashing directly into Yun Wen’s body. The outer layer of water membrane surged violently, exploding, but it successfully absorbed the most intense blow.
“Eye of Death! The third divine power of the Thousand-eyed Demon!”
Yun Wen’s expression darkened.
The freak-level Thousand-eyed Demon, with its thousands of eyes, was called a great demon, and its divine powers were growing stronger; the Eye of Death was the recorded third divine power!
Every two hundred eyes would birth a new divine power, just as Liu Wujing said. This Thousand-eyed Demon definitely had at least five divine powers!
If it unleashed the two remaining powers, they would face a serious problem, potentially leading to their injuries, or even…
Death!
“I will protect you!”
Chao Zichong stepped forward and extended his hand. Amazing, brilliant water beads flew out and landed beside the two.
The clear power immediately dispersed the gray light, significantly reducing its influence.
*Did practicing Poison Techniques leave the Spiritual Law untouched?*
“Kill!”
Yun Wen shouted, without hesitation, joining forces to defeat the Thousand-eyed Demon. This creature was simply too terrifying!
…
“This is bad… it’s the… Death Stare!”
Not just Yun Wen felt it.
All living beings under the gray sky were enveloped by the gray light.
From the fort walls, Yun Ye and the others were far enough away, yet they were still affected, and the effects were incredibly intense.
Yun Ye’s thoughts and body quickly stiffened!
*Is this light destroying the soul?*
His thoughts drifted and couldn’t stabilize; reason was undermined by the gray light, making it hard to break free as he rapidly approached annihilation.
“Boom!”
The black armor glowed, as if a lightning bolt had cleaved through the darkness, partially pulling Yun Ye’s mind back.
As a defensive spirit armor, it provided a degree of protection against divine attacks.
The reason wasn’t just the Spirit Sense material but also the internal presence of silver patterns, dark copper, and other demon-subduing materials. The attack from the demon eyes, whether leaning towards Spiritual Law or Spirit Law, would be equally weakened by the suppression effect.
*I must… activate the Heart Fire!!!*
Yun Ye broke free from the control, but as he escaped the illusion, an unexpected pain struck his body, and he yelled in agony, unable to endure it, stumbling to the ground.
Yet, after he fell, parts of his body were shielded by triple defenses of earth, metal, and wood, which diminished the effects of the gray light.
“Heart Fire!!!”
The fiery mark on Yun Ye’s forehead glowed intensely. He exerted all his strength to unleash the Extreme Flame, enveloping his entire body!
The burning of the Heart Fire quickly formed a protective layer that fiercely countered the erosion of the gray light.
However, Yun Ye horrifyingly realized that his spirit energy was depleting rapidly!
The life energy in the spiritual void visibly vanished!
In a normal state, spirit energy would flow into the body after being transformed, and the destruction of life energy would be nearly zero.
But in the state of Spiritual Roots revival, spirit energy directly invaded the body, enhancing power from all directions, which led to extreme consumption of life energy. Maintaining this for an extended time could break the spiritual void and cause a drop in Qi Cultivation Technique levels!
His lifespan would also sharply decline!
Given the intensity of the gray light, Yun Ye could last at most 3 minutes and 5 seconds before exhausting the life energy in the spiritual void. After that, any further consumption of lifespan would increase by tenfold or more, further damaging his Qi Cultivation Technique realm, rendering any recovery through herbal medicine impossible!
Could Yun Wen and the others resolve the battle within three minutes?
Yun Ye curled up in a corner, his eyes glowing bright red.
In an instant, the entire world changed.
He clearly saw a 360-degree view of the world and the responses of everyone on the scene.
Xiang Liangren found it easiest to resist, with water bead artifacts forming barriers that blocked the invasion of the gray light.
Next were the two young men from the Ji family. They were also shocked, but their status allowed them to command others, so they ordered Xiang Liangren to protect them while they each produced a pile of talismans, ready to activate them at any moment.
Compared to the Ji family members, Zhu Zhaohong was not afforded the same protective treatment as Xiang Liangren.
But she was still a master.
In this energy-draining defense task, she directed Wang Lixian and Xie Rongfu to expend energy to build a defense, thus reducing her own consumption.
However, resisting with Spiritual Law against Spirit Law was clearly very taxing. Both men’s faces visibly paled, and it was evident they couldn’t hold out for long.
Zhuo Zhongjie, He Guan, and Liu Jingyu understood the power of the Eye of Death well and cooperated decisively, constructing a defense fortification that thickened layer by layer, completely enclosing them within a sealed space. It seemed they could hold on for a while.
Only Yun Ye stood alone, the unfortunate soul likely to be the first to be eliminated…
