Beating People with Eyeballs

In the middle of the Blood Plain. The dark swamp was not deserted at this moment; not only were there people present, but quite a few. Many cultivators had arrived on the first floor. Over countless years, people had gradually figured out a few things. Those who entered possessed more or less some intelligence—such as where treasures might be found, or where greater opportunities lay. At this moment, in the center of the swamp lay a stretch of glazed earth. The surroundings were spotless, barren of grass and trees. In the middle of this glazed ground, a natural fountain surged continually, releasing massive amounts of origin qi into the air. Mingled within the origin qi were various treasures—natural treasures! This was a treasure land known to many. Yet though numerous cultivators encircled the glazed ground, none dared to retrieve them. "Are you all just going to stand guard here, waiting for the treasures to deliver themselves to your doorstep?" A shrill voice rang out as a hook-nosed man sneered darkly, "Now that you're all here, you still don't dare take a gamble? This is a Sacred Spring! Soaking in a Sacred Spring can bring back the dead, regrow flesh on white bones, and strengthen the physical body..." "Xiao Li, why don't you go yourself?" In the distance, a snow-white tiger had not assumed human form, maintaining its original beast form. Its tiger eyes gleamed with cold malice as it glared at the hook-nosed man. *Why don't you go in?!* Everyone knew something about the dangers here. Though this place appeared safe on the surface, in reality, it was extraordinarily perilous. Above this glazed ground, flight was impossible—not even Tengkong cultivators could take to the air. As for the ground, it was searingly hot. This heat was genuine—hot enough to instantly burn a Tengkong cultivator to ash and char a Lingyun cultivator's bones black. A Shanhai cultivator could perhaps advance a short distance, but frankly speaking, those on the first floor were the weak; true powerhouses were exceedingly rare. The Star Residence Mansion took age and talent into account. Those young in years mostly appeared on the first floor. Yet youth rarely commanded formidable strength. Reaching Lingyun was already impressive; reaching Shanhai or Sun Moon was almost impossible. On the first floor, it was extremely rare to see Shanhai or Sun Moon cultivators, unless someone possessed peerless genius and stepped into those realms at an exceptionally young age. It was not as though no one took action, however. On the other side, a human produced a green leaf. The leaf landed on the glazed ground. Black flames suddenly flared up from the ground, yet failed to burn the leaf. Many onlookers' eyes flickered. *A fine treasure!* That leaf was likely comparable to an Earth rank treasure, as it hadn't been reduced to ash. Though humanity had declined, some human experts had waged campaigns across various realms and inherited ancient ruins; they still possessed treasures, even if there weren't enough to go around. Evidently, humanity had made plenty of preparations for this excursion. The green leaf retrieved by the human cultivator lay unburnt on the glazed earth, instantly delighting the nearby humans. It truly worked! Humanity was not very familiar with the levels above the third floor, but below the third floor, they were reasonably well-informed. At this moment, someone sent a voice transmission: "Indeed, the Mansion Lord spoke the truth! This fire is pupil fire, which burns all things, yet can be suppressed by the Bright Moon Chrysanthemum. Liu Ji, go fetch the Sacred Spring! We'll keep our eyes on the rest of them!" This group hailed from Dahan Mansion and had agreed beforehand to rendezvous here. The human faction had also made arrangements: the various powerful mansions had divided responsibilities in advance, and this location was primarily designated for Dahan Mansion to retrieve treasures. This Sacred Spring water possessed the effects of body forging, healing, and enlightening intelligence. It was far more precious than any Sky Origin Fruit. Taking some back to the Human Realm would surely benefit many. As they conversed, beings all around began eyeing them like tigers stalking prey, glaring at the humans. There were also god and demon experts whose eyes radiated chill. Taking the treasure wouldn't be so simple! Of course, they would not stop these people from gathering the treasure—humans had done so in past years. The premise was that you could actually take it away! If you couldn't carry it off, you would merely be slaving for someone else's benefit. Genius after genius watched covetously. Liu Ji also hesitated, a look of indecision on his face. Their side had only five people, while dozens surrounded them, all waiting for them to harvest the treasure. Even if they took it, escaping the encirclement and slaughter would be nearly impossible. Just as the two sides were at a standstill, two figures stepped through the void in the distance. Su Yu remained in the guise of Lang Tu. Glancing around, he then looked at the glazed ground and nodded slightly. *The depths of the pupil! Very good! As expected, this is the place.* As for the surging spring water, it was not from a tear gland, but pupil water. Su Yu gauged it briefly; it counted as a treasure, but to him, its effects were inferior to the Demon God Fruit. It offered a bit of help in restoring his physical body, but could hardly heal it completely. As for the dozens of geniuses from various races around the area... he did not take them seriously at all. A bunch of Tengkong cultivators, with a mere handful of Lingyun cultivators among them. Did this count as strong? A bunch of trash! Apart from himself, everyone present was trash. He walked straight over. Many spotted him and Huang Jiu. At this moment, Huang Jiu wore no mask; one glance showed she was a young human girl. Among the humans, some looked surprised, not recognizing her. A human and a demon wolf. What kind of combination was this? As for their strength, the onlookers couldn't quite see through it. Someone was about to speak, but Su Yu had no patience for nonsense with them. The "Blood" character divine character emerged, instantly plunging everyone into an illusion. A book brimming with the resonance of radiant, holy virtue hovered in midair. In a flash, those cultivators below were sucked into the book pages one after another. The five humans were also casually knocked unconscious with a hammer blow from Su Yu. Nothing to chat about! Nothing to say! Meaningless! A waste of time! Su Yu stepped straight onto the glazed ground. A swell of black flames flared up and surged toward him. The black flames scorched his flesh, yet Su Yu paid it no heed. Instead, he turned to Huang Jiu and said flatly, "Come up. Guide the flames to burn your eyes! These fools don't understand the purpose of this pupil fire. They blindly reject it, and the more they reject it, the stronger the pupil fire becomes! Scorching the physical body like that, it would be weird if it didn't burn them to death!" Huang Jiu said in astonishment, "You want me to burn my eyes with this?" *Are you crazy?!* How fragile eyes were! No matter how formidable an expert was, their eyes remained exceedingly fragile. *You want me to use flames capable of burning Lingyun and Shanhai cultivators to scorch my eyes? Do you want to blind me?* Su Yu couldn't be bothered with her. Guiding the black flames, he let them surge into his eyes instantly. The flames burned within his eyes, sharp pain flaring at first, but soon transforming into gentle fire. Ignoring it, Su Yu took a step forward, widening his eyes and allowing the gushing spring water to wash over them. His eyes grew brighter and brighter! Behind him, Huang Jiu, who had not yet stepped onto the glazed ground, looked completely dumbfounded. *That works too?* Hesitating a moment, she also took a step forward. The black flames scorched her body in an instant. Even as a Shanhai Realm cultivator, she could hardly bear the agony. In excruciating pain, she hurried to follow Su Yu's words and channeled the flames into her eyes. "Ah!" With a scream, Huang Jiu nearly cursed aloud. Soon, remembering something, she dashed toward the Sacred Spring and used the spring water to wash her eyes as well. This time, it felt much more soothing. The flames continued to spread as she kept rinsing her eyes with the spring. Soon, Huang Jiu opened her eyes and looked at the world again, suddenly feeling dazed. Her eyes were far brighter! She seemed able to see farther, and her eyes felt significantly stronger, no longer as fragile as before. She stared blankly at Su Yu. "This... the Sacred Spring and the glazed flames of the Blood Plain are meant for tempering the eyes?" While continuing to rinse his eyes, Su Yu smiled. "What did you think? When the Star Residence Mansion was built, it wasn't designed to kill people. There was no need to use these places to slaughter people! Back in the day, countless experts oversaw the Star Residence Mansion. A few traps for Tengkong and Lingyun cultivators... do you really think those ancient powerhouses had nothing better to do?" Were the traps truly traps? Were the perils truly perils? Nonsense! The powerhouses who built the Star Residence Mansion weren't so bored. Their strength had been terrifyingly formidable. They built this place not to slaughter, but to nurture—to train geniuses, to forge powerhouses. Who would waste their leisure time messing with you? "Ah!" Suddenly, Huang Jiu screamed in sheer agony. "My eye... my eye..." Her right eye was scorched by flames, blood streaming down her face. Su Yu remarked calmly, "This is the left eye, not the right eye Sacred Spring! You got it wrong. If you had just followed what I did, you'd be fine, but you insisted on acting on your own. Your eye is nearly blinded. It's fine, bear with it. There's another Blood Plain; we'll head there later, and the problem will naturally be resolved!" Huang Jiu was in blinding pain and raged, "You didn't tell me eyes had to be separated into left and right!" Su Yu replied placidly, "Do you have only one eye? Furthermore, I have no obligation to teach you anything. Giving you even a single reminder was already out of respect for Teacher Liu. Huang Jiu, don't forget your place. You are my prisoner!" Huang Jiu was thoroughly infuriated, but on second thought... forget it, she couldn't afford to provoke this guy. She was ruthless too; gritting her teeth, she stopped screaming. Though racked with pain, she said nothing more, swiftly guiding the flames into her left eye and opening it wide to let the Sacred Spring wash over it. The more the spring washed and the fire scorched, the more she felt the benefits of both. Gritting her teeth, she endured the agony and whispered, "Su... Lang Tu, you mean this is a human eye, and the powerhouses who built it did so to nurture juniors? So some of the perilous places on the first floor actually bestow benefits! Could the Ear Sea also benefit the ears, is that what you mean?" Su Yu gave a soft chuckle. "If you think so, then it is. I haven't been there, so how would I know?" *What are you acting so smug for!* Huang Jiu grumbled inwardly. *Forget it, I won't bicker with you, I'll just take the benefits.* She felt this fellow was exceedingly mysterious, acting as though he knew everything—even more than the elders did. Following Su Yu didn't seem so bad after all. At this moment, her left eye shone brilliantly. Her left eye aperture seemed to be strengthening and expanding, even taking on a faintly crystalline clarity. With her right eye injured, she kept one eye closed and looked at the world with her left eye. At this glance, Huang Jiu gasped in surprise, "Huh? Strange... why is this origin qi sinking downward?" Before, she hadn't seen clearly or sensed it. But now, she distinctly perceived the origin qi descending toward the ground. That wasn't right—origin qi usually circulated in the air above. Su Yu was observing as well. His left eye was remarkably bright now. Looking up and then down, he soon turned his gaze toward the Sacred Spring and said, "Beneath this Sacred Spring, something is absorbing origin qi! It should be a treasure!" "Beneath the Sacred Spring?" Huang Jiu said hurriedly. "I've read records about this—you cannot go down! People tried in the past. Even though the surging spring water can revive the dead and regrow flesh on bones, once you dive inside, you suffer intense corrosion. No matter how strong you are, you'll be corroded to death!" "Correct," Su Yu nodded. "So one cannot dive down." "Then why do you say there's a treasure..." Su Yu ignored her. There was nothing to say to the illiterate. Huang Jiu's martial strength might be higher than Wu Lan and the others, but she lacked divergent thinking and creativity; she wasn't a Civilization Master and lacked an exploratory spirit. Su Yu chuckled and said, "Did you think having you temper your eye was just for fun? This place... other body parts cannot enter, but eyes—specifically the left eye—can in all probability go down! Come on, gouge your eyeball out and toss it in. I guarantee nothing will happen!" "I..." *Screw you! I won't do it!* That would hurt way too much! If it got corroded and her eyeball was destroyed, wouldn't she truly become one-eyed? "You... following Kongkong, you learned martial arts and stepped onto the path of a warrior. In truth, the Liu family is better suited to walk the path of civilization, even though Teacher Liu's definition of the civilization dao is merely strengthening oneself rather than exploring the unknown..." Nowadays, few Civilization Masters still conducted research. Those who did research generally weren't strong, while the strong all pursued combat prowess. "Eyes are connected by blood vessels. As long as you temporarily sever the vessels, it's not a big problem... You don't want the benefit I offered, so I'll enjoy it all by myself!" As Su Yu spoke, he reached for his left eye. In the next moment, he plucked his left eyeball right out! Huang Jiu drew in a sharp breath. *This fellow is truly ruthless.* Unafraid of having his eye obliterated, even if it could be restored, the pain wouldn't be reduced in the slightest. Su Yu didn't care about her thoughts or feelings. The eyeball soared directly toward the depths of the Sacred Spring. Sure enough, no corrosion occurred, and Su Yu could see a bit through the left eye. Beneath the Sacred Spring, it was filled with fire. Amidst the flames was a channel of spring water. Those flames surged swiftly to scorch the eyeball, which was also enveloped in spring water and continually tempered. The further down it flew, the fiercer the fire became! If someone flew down with their physical body, even a Sun Moon expert might be burned to cinders by these flames! Su Yu grew even more awestruck. The creator of the Star Residence Mansion was simply astonishing. Truly formidable! A single spot on the first floor possessed the power to destroy Sun Moon realm cultivators. One had to realize that this entire mansion was a colossal, unimaginable project. If measured by armament grade and destructive power, this single spring possessed the power of a mid-to-high tier Earth armament. Perhaps even stronger! "Incredible, truly incredible!" Su Yu marveled endlessly. Moreover, the builder had tailored everything entirely to human physiology and nature. This Star Residence Mansion was meant to be human territory, a land of opportunity for humanity! It was a blessed ground left behind by the ancient Human Sovereign for his descendants, a cradle of their resurgence! Yet few humans came, leaving the myriad races to reap the benefits instead. "This is the wisdom of the ancestors!" Su Yu murmured. The ancestors had long left good things for future generations. Of course, they wouldn't just hand them to you; you had to come take them yourself. Those with low intellect had no right to claim them. It made sense: good things should go to the clever. Given to fools, they would only be squandered and wasted! To the side, Huang Jiu watched silently. She now realized that Su Yu was ruthless not only toward his enemies, but toward himself as well. What was more... frankly, his style of action carried an indefinable decisiveness and dashing flair. She glanced at the unconscious figures nearby and asked, "Then how do you plan to handle these people?" Without turning his head, Su Yu replied, "An illusion has entered their minds: they fought a fierce battle against enemies, were defeated, and retreated, withdrawing from the contest for the Sacred Spring... If they want to break free from my illusion, they can wait until they reach Sun Moon, or find an Invincible to dispel it!" "You won't kill them? After all, there's still danger. If an Invincible investigates them, they might guess you're here." "Do you think they can reach the seventh floor or above? The Invincibles are probably all on the seventh floor!" Su Yu dismissed the thought. "Su Yu, you claim you've cut ties with humanity, but from what I see, you are still human to the bone..." Su Yu sneered. "Nonsense! I was human to begin with. I was born there, grew up there. Despising those who plotted against me doesn't mean I hate those who didn't. Huang Jiu, you may have a human body, but you grew up in the Heaven Hunting Pavilion and were influenced by Kongkong. You're the one who isn't human—you merely have the empty skin of one!" Huang Jiu fell silent. This was only natural. She had never received an education among humans, nor had she ever been close to them. In her worldview, there was only Kongkong, the strong and the weak, and the Heaven Hunting Pavilion. The pavilion preached that racial distinctions did not matter, so why should she consider herself human? Su Yu was different from her. Su Yu was merely disappointed in certain people and had thus severed ties with the human establishment; that did not mean he ceased to be human. Right then, Su Yu barked, "Shut up, don't disturb me!" Down in the depths of the Sacred Spring, Su Yu's eyeball spotted something! It was a streak of golden flame. Unlike the black flames, this golden fire seemed alive, flickering in the shape of an eyeball. Seeing Su Yu's eyeball, it appeared to register a touch of confusion and drifted toward it. As the golden flame drew near, Su Yu felt a sudden stinging pain! The flame instantly scorched his eyeball. Su Yu grunted, and from his empty eye socket, golden flames suddenly burst forth. "Now that has some kick!" Su Yu chuckled. A divine character emerged—the "Fire" character among his Five Elements divine characters. At this moment, this Tier 4 divine character constantly absorbed the leaking flames, growing stronger at a rate visible to the naked eye! Tier 4 was the Shanhai level. Currently, all of Su Yu's divine characters were Tier 4. He had twenty-eight divine characters, all at Tier 4, none having reached Tier 5 yet, though the "Blood" character showed signs of it. Now, absorbing this golden flame, the "Fire" character showed a swelling momentum, growing stronger by the moment! Beneath the Sacred Spring, Su Yu's eyeball continually collided with the flame. Flames scorched, spring water washed. Gradually, the golden flame grew somewhat dim, while Su Yu's "Fire" character grew brighter and brighter. By the time the golden flame shrank back into hiding, the divine character showed faint signs of advancing. It felt on par with the "Blood" character, just a hair away from breaking through to Tier 5! Su Yu's eyeball flew back in an instant and plopped back into his socket! At that moment, Su Yu snapped his eye open and directed his left eye at Huang Jiu. Huang Jiu cried out in pain again as sparks of fire leapt in her left eye. She gasped in horror, "What is that?!" "A death glare!" Su Yu laughed. "Quite interesting. My left eye feels like it's been tempered to rival an Earth armament! The treasure here is a golden flame representing the left eye aperture. It's not the sort of treasure you can pack up and take away, but something that recharges with power over time to help forge a formidable eye." This golden flame was the treasure of this place. It couldn't be taken away, nor was it the kind of treasure you swallowed for an instant boost; rather, it was used to temper the eye. Right now, Su Yu felt his eye possessed immense power—glaring at someone could truly kill them! By this point, Su Yu was certain: this floor was a sacred land for strengthening the nine apertures of the Kaiyuan Realm! His left eye aperture was powerful now, noticeably stronger than the other apertures, carrying a feeling of impending transformation! Su Yu had now mastered the death glare. Next time, he could try it in battle: unleashing a burst of fiery light from his eyes to incinerate the enemy! As he absorbed the radiance of the golden flame, the spring water gradually subsided. After a while, it stopped surging; lacking sufficient power, it began continuously absorbing origin qi to restore its potency. Huang Jiu had also gained some benefits, her left eye much strengthened. Of course, the injury on her right eye hadn't healed yet, giving her the look of a one-eyed pirate. Su Yu glanced at the fallen humans. Sweeping them with his "Blood" divine character, he sent them flying with a casual strike. A moment later, Su Yu vanished from the area with Huang Jiu. Not long after they left, the humans woke up. They felt slightly dazed, with gaps in their memory, but they all remembered a fierce battle just taking place: they had tried to collect the Sacred Spring, but were obstructed by foes; after a brutal clash, they had narrowly escaped with their lives, fleeing all the way until they finally shook off their pursuers! Now all five were fully awake. One in the team let out a long breath of relief and said, "That was close! We finally escaped. Damn them, those bastards teamed up against us. Now we can't go back there; looks like we have to give up!" The others also looked lingeringly fearful. Too dangerous! Even now, their heads throbbed with splitting pain, and their bodies bore numerous wounds, so they didn't think much further into it. All they knew was that they had been besieged and were lucky to survive. The Liu family scion, Liu Ji, cursed under his breath, "Those bastards, I'll slaughter them sooner or later!" Cursing aside, they quickly departed. The enemy had numbers; better run! Once they gathered enough hands, they'd go back and settle the score. In any case, the other side wouldn't be able to carry that Sacred Spring off anytime soon. ... Meanwhile, in the outside world. Invincible after Invincible frowned. More deaths! Quite a few people had died! Not much time had passed since entry, yet deaths were occurring ceaselessly. Just a moment ago, dozens had perished in an instant. Someone said in a low voice, "Did an anomaly occur on the first floor? The ones who just died were all Tengkong and Lingyun cultivators, so they were most likely on the first floor and probably gathered together, wiped out at once... Is this related to the earlier slaughter of those Immortals?" "The deaths of those Immortals were equally suspicious! There were Sun Moons and Tengkongs who suddenly died together. Something is wrong... Did an issue occur during teleportation, or what?" "In just this short while, nearly a hundred out of three thousand six hundred beings have died!" This was far too fast! It had never been this swift. Under normal circumstances, people wouldn't die at such a rate. For example, on the first floor, everyone had comparable strength; unless a massive clash involving hundreds or thousands broke out, how could dozens perish all at once in such a bizarre manner? "Did they enter a perilous zone?" "That's possible!" "Could something unexpected have happened on the first floor?" ... As they discussed, someone soon glanced toward the human faction and frowned slightly. Very few humans had died. While the anomaly on the first floor claimed many from other races, humanity had only had three passage connections break so far, representing three deaths! As a major race, humanity had sent plenty of entrants. Only three deaths was indeed minimal. The Immortals had lost nearly twenty by now! The gods and demons had slightly fewer, but not by much. ... In the distance, King Daxia and King Dazhou wore curious expressions. Truth be told, humanity's luck seemed decent this time. Normally, human casualties were heavier than those of the gods and demons, but this time, very few had died—only three so far. Compared to the other major races, this was a massive bargain. King Daxia hesitated, "An anomaly on the first floor? Could it have something to do with that Huang Jiu? Those Immortals all died, and along that row of passages, only Huang Jiu's remained intact. Did she enter the first floor? She is human, isn't she?" "It seems so," King Dazhou replied softly. "Not only is she human, she might have ties to the Liu family, though it's not entirely certain." King Daxia furrowed his brows. "You mean... what Zhu Tianfang mentioned last time?" "Yes," King Dazhou smiled faintly. "What do you think?" "Me?" King Daxia frowned. "If the Liu family truly claims her back and wants to arrange a marriage with the Xia family, I have no objections. But she grew up alongside Kongkong, so I worry her heart does not lie with humanity! If compensation is needed, the Xia family is willing to provide it..." King Dazhou smiled and said nothing further. That matter depended on the Liu family. Of course, her identity remained unconfirmed, so no one from the Liu family had been notified yet; without confirmation, getting their hopes up only to end in disappointment would be awkward. Both King Dazhou and King Daxia were in relatively good spirits. Few humans had died, which was a good thing. The gods, Immortals, and demons had sent in more people, but had also suffered heavier casualties; chalk it up to bad luck on their part. Just as they were thinking this, another patch of passages suddenly collapsed! In all directions, the powerhouses' expressions darkened. Just like before! This was a slaughter, not a battle—done in the blink of an eye! Someone said icily, "Did an anomaly really happen on the first floor? Has an expert entered it?!" How else could this happen? "A human expert?" "That Huang Jiu? She is human? That is indeed possible. Could she have entered the first floor... But earlier, a third-stage Sun Moon died. Could she even kill a third-stage Sun Moon?" "This is troublesome. If someone capable of slaughtering across the first floor is down there, many geniuses are on that floor!" ... Worry mounted. The first floor was huge, but someone capable of killing Sun Moon cultivators roaming the first floor was an immense trouble. In the Star Residence Mansion, those below could fight their way upward, but those above could not come down. The first floor was occupied by young people. Even if someone like Modona was down there, his primary objective would be to fight his way to the second floor, not slaughter everyone on the first floor—that was not something a genius would do. Of course, if it was a human... that was another story. Everyone wanted to slaughter humans, so humans would naturally retaliate. "Are Modona and the others on the first floor or the second?" "Could a human expert really be carrying out a slaughter..." People turned to look at the human faction. The number of broken human passages remained unchanged; evidently, no humans had suffered harm. Many faces darkened! Damn it! What on earth was happening? Unfortunately, once inside the Star Residence Mansion, even the Heaven Hunting Pavilion could not send messages. Otherwise, they could at least gain some intel. Right now, they could only watch and fret uselessly. Even though those dying were relatively weak, anyone capable of entering the mansion was a genius. At this moment, some brought out the Heaven Hunting Ranking... and winced. Out of the 630 slots on the Heaven Hunting Ranking, seventeen or eighteen had shifted in an instant. Over a dozen ranked geniuses had been killed in a flash. For any race, this was a heavy loss. A ranked genius, if things went smoothly, might not become an Invincible, but Sun Moon was practically guaranteed. Now, they were dead! They examined the rankings of others closely; there weren't many changes. Of course, the Heaven Hunting Ranking could not cover the interior of the Star Residence Mansion, so even if there were shifts, it was difficult for them to transmit outside. If uncaptured by the ranking, the positional shifts couldn't be broadcast. Right now, when people died, their aura fluctuations ceased to exist, causing their names to vanish from the list. "Who the hell did this?!" A crowd fumed with rage, while the Dao King had already fallen silent. Another of his people had died. Very good! Five slots were completely gone. There were eight left! He could only pretend he hadn't bought extra slots. Otherwise, if he had started with only eight, he would have just three people left inside now. They hadn't even been in for three hours and had already died in droves—how could they hope to seize a carrier? What a joke! "Su Yu..." The Dao King snorted coldly. The crowd looked baffled. Why were you calling his name again? Far off in the ancient city, Liu Hong clicked his tongue and laughed, "So many died! What a shame, how tragic! Senior Dao King, stop shouting my name. It wasn't me who killed them, what's the use of yelling at me?" The Dao King snorted coldly and glared at Liu Hong with a furrowed brow. His intuition told him that his misfortune might be linked to this bastard. Even though the fellow was still standing right here, the Dao King just felt... something was wrong! Perhaps the unexpected developments inside were tied to him as well. He felt he was being somewhat unreasonable himself, yet he couldn't shake the sensation. Unbearable! Regardless, it was this bastard's fault. Had it not been for this bastard, his three-life embodiment wouldn't have been destroyed, he wouldn't have bought extra slots, and he wouldn't have suffered such disastrous losses! Traced back to its root, it was all Su Yu's fault! ... Meanwhile, inside the Star Residence Mansion. Su Yu's book grew even more sacred! Yes, sacred! Upon the cover shone the light of holy virtue. Huang Jiu's teeth ached. "You... your evil weapon slaughters people to attain holiness?!" What in the world! In a single breath, Su Yu had slaughtered dozens of people, yet his evil weapon radiated an even more sacred aura. Truly bizarre! Su Yu ignored her. The Fire of Inheritance burned over the book, purifying the bloody aura. He smiled faintly. "What do you know? I'm granting them transcendence, letting them study more knowledge in their next life. This is enlightening their intellect. Since their wisdom was lacking, I've come to deliver them!" At this moment, 108 golden ripples showed on Su Yu's book, while the 109th faintly showed signs of condensing from illusory to solid. Once it solidified, this civilization chronicle would become a Heaven armament! Huang Jiu watched with envy and asked again, "Are you tempering your right eye this time? By the way, with your weapon-crafting skills, could you forge a book to give me?" What cheek! Even Su Yu was surprised that she could utter such words. Huang Jiu didn't mind, smiling. "Don't look at me like that. I'll pay! The price of a Heaven armament—even if I don't have it, I can ask the elders for it." "Heh!" Su Yu gave a mocking laugh. The price of a Heaven armament? Go wash up and go to sleep! Too lazy to bother with her, Su Yu swiftly tempered his right eye, gouging out his eyeball again and tossing it into the Sacred Spring channel on this side. In the future, both of his eyes would be able to fight. Su Yu felt that his two eyes alone could beat up Lingyun cultivators! Fear him yet? Once he swept up all the benefits on the first floor, Su Yu felt that his head alone would be able to fight Shanhai experts! As expected, this place had no shortage of good things! As for other treasures, Su Yu truly didn't think much of them.
