Chapter 701: The Eye of the Holy Emperor

In the sky, the ancient king swung various weapons, approaching with the might of a mountain collapsing, while countless flying tree demons surged like a tsunami from all directions, surrounding the two great saint emperors.

All the puppets of different races on the ground flew up, rushing together toward the two great saint emperors.

Seeing such a scene, the two great saint emperors, unaware of the opponent’s strength, hurriedly activated their magical shields for defense.

Meanwhile, the saint emperor You Kua had already been trapped by a formation prepared by Xuankong’er and others. All the experts exerted their powers together, surrounding and attacking him.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Explosions, violent explosions continuously echoed, shaking the heavens and the earth.

The alien puppets kept self-detonating, bombarding the magical shields of the two great saint emperors.

The two great saint emperors were no ordinary beings; their jointly activated magical shield could withstand even the explosion of low-grade saint artifacts.

Therefore, ordinary puppets could not harm them at all.

Inside the Time Tower deep within the palace, Shui Miao, disturbed by the tower’s tremors, spread his divine consciousness and immediately sensed the fierce battle outside.

“Whoosh!”

After sensing the situation, Shui Miao immediately emerged from the Time Tower and teleported directly into the formation set up by Xuankong’er.

“Hahaha! You lowly humans think you can hurt me? My magical shield can withstand the explosion of saint artifacts. Use all your skills against me if you dare! In a while, my elder and second brothers will arrive, and then I’ll make you wish for death but be unable to die. I’ll turn the men into pills and the women into sex slaves! Waaahaha…”

The saint emperor You Kua was extremely arrogant, fearlessly relying on his magical shield.

Xuankong’er, Zixian, Chongyuanzi, Xingtian Fazun, Tianyi Dejun, Wenchang Dijun, and Shengmu Shuitianyi all launched full-force attacks, combining formations and magical treasures. All their most powerful techniques were unleashed upon You Kua, but none could penetrate his magical shield!

It was terrifying!

As everyone was at a loss, Shui Miao appeared.

“Old friend, we meet again. Do you remember me?”

Shui Miao grinned, raised his hand, and everyone’s attacks ceased.

Looking at Shui Miao, the saint emperor You Kua coldly sneered, “Who are you?”

“Hahaha!” Shui Miao laughed. “Since you don’t remember, let me introduce myself. The self-destruction of Hongyu’s chessboard in the Immortal-Demon Realm was my masterpiece. Later, when you chased me to the entrance of the Immortal-Demon Realm, the self-destruction of the Celestial Mechanism Sage’s puppet was also my doing. So, do you remember me now?”

“It’s you! So it’s you…”

You Kua was furious. “Good kid, you’ve got guts coming here. But you won’t hurt me with self-destruction anymore. Your entire group can’t even break my magical shield, so you can only wait to die slowly!”

After being injured last time, You Kua had melted down all his offensive artifacts and reforged them into a super magical shield.

Now, he had no powerful offensive artifacts on him at all.

Therefore, he could only act like an invincible turtle, unable to even break through the formation set by Xuankong’er.

On Shui Miao’s side, everyone was also furious but helpless against You Kua.

“Well then, since you say my self-destruction method can’t hurt you, I’ll try a different method to show you the might of human cultivators.” Shui Miao strode toward You Kua.

“What…”

Seeing Shui Miao confidently approaching, You Kua felt a chill in his heart, recalling the might of the human cultivator Hongjun Dao Ren.

With each step Shui Miao took, the pressure You Kua felt doubled.

Shui Miao could harness the power of his realm planet, and after spending so much time in the Time Tower, his power had undergone a tremendous transformation.

What immense power! You Kua was stunned. “Kid, are you Hongjun Dao Ren’s disciple?”

“You should think about yourself. How many human cultivators have you killed? Today is the day your blood debts are settled.” Shui Miao suddenly increased the pressure—doubling, quadrupling, octupling it.

Ordinary cultivators could barely handle a few Azure Dragon Forces.

Even powerful experts at the Xian Emperor level could only wield a hundred.

Exceptional Xian Emperor-level experts might reach three hundred.

But You Kua, as an alien saint emperor, possessed a thousand.

Yet now, Shui Miao was also unleashing a thousand Azure Dragon Forces.

You Kua began to falter, unable to speak.

As Shui Miao approached You Kua, observing his grimacing, struggling face, he smiled faintly. “I haven’t even used my full strength yet. How can you already be overwhelmed? You rely on your magical shield? Then I’ll break it for you to see.”

As he spoke, Shui Miao extended a finger, charging it with ten thousand Azure Dragon Forces.

Ten thousand—this was already his limit.

But such power was more than enough to shatter You Kua’s magical shield.

“Crack!”

A sound like breaking glass rang out. You Kua’s magical shield was pierced by Shui Miao’s fingertip.

Without the shield’s protection, You Kua was overwhelmed by the pressure.

Shui Miao unleashed ten thousand Azure Dragon Forces upon You Kua, causing his legs to buckle, and he fell to his knees.

The power gap was too great; You Kua couldn’t withstand it at all.

“I’ll take you down with me!”

Suddenly, You Kua growled fiercely.

“Boom!”

He self-destructed!

Normally, the self-destruction of a being with a thousand Azure Dragon Forces could destroy at least half a planet.

But this time was different. You Kua was completely suppressed by Shui Miao’s ten thousand forces. The explosion was entirely under Shui Miao’s control. His spiritual power acted like an egg, tightly enclosing You Kua. Then, every pore on Shui Miao’s body began absorbing the explosion’s energy.

Suddenly, Shui Miao had an idea. He directed all the explosion’s energy and essence into his realm world, offering it to Ziluan to devour. You Kua carried an abundance of primordial energy—exactly what Ziluan loved most.

“Hahaha! Got some primordial energy so quickly!”

Ziluan was ecstatic. As she devoured You Kua, her power surged, her radiant light shining farther and brighter, raising the temperature and benefiting all cultivators within the realm planet, rapidly boosting their powers. Shui Miao also received a continuous stream of innate spiritual energy feedback, enhancing his strength further.

“Hmm? What is this?”

Feeling an unusual presence in his realm world, Shui Miao quickly closed his eyes and discovered it was You Kua’s soul.

“Hahaha!”

“I understand now. Because of my suppression, You Kua’s explosion wasn’t fully released, so his soul wasn’t completely destroyed, only slightly damaged.”

“Perfect. I can now enter his realm world, seize all his treasures, and then destroy his realm entirely.”

With these thoughts, Shui Miao immediately sat down, activating the Dream Demon Technique to confuse You Kua’s soul and enter his realm space.

You Kua’s realm was vast but hadn’t formed a planet. Inside were countless chaotic items, with piles of primordial stones of every type except Ziyun Yuan Shi. Shui Miao was cautious, transferring all the collected primordial stones into a magical artifact instead of giving them to Ziluan.

After all, Ziluan was a being from another realm, and Shui Miao still had some reservations about her.

After obtaining the primordial stones, Shui Miao mercilessly destroyed You Kua’s soul and left a self-destructing artifact within his realm space.

※※※

“Our third brother was killed!”

“What! They actually killed our third brother? Could Hongjun Dao Ren have come?”

The moment You Kua’s soul was destroyed, the life talisman carried by the second saint emperor You Dun shattered, shocking the eldest saint emperor You Cu. He deeply understood You Kua’s power; only Hongjun Dao Ren could have possibly defeated him.

“Ahh! No…”

The second saint emperor You Dun suddenly cried out.

The soul of You Kua, emerging from the talisman moments ago, suddenly caught fire and was instantly destroyed.

“They destroyed our third brother’s realm space! How could they do that?” The eldest saint emperor You Cu was shocked again. He had cultivated for so long yet never learned how to enter another’s realm.

“Brother, this isn’t the time for shock. The survival of our Xingyue Clan is at stake!”

The second saint emperor You Dun roared, suddenly summoning a black bow and arrow and shooting it directly at a massive tree root sweeping toward them.

Until now, they had been on the defensive.

Now, realizing the urgency, they began retaliating.

“Whoosh!”

“Boom!”

The colossal tree root was struck by the arrow, vibrating violently before exploding into dust.

You Dun’s Zhenkong Arrow was a supreme artifact, comparable to the finest saint treasures.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

After scoring a hit, You Dun rapidly fired hundreds of arrows at the other tree roots, his speed as quick as lightning.

The eldest saint emperor You Cu, usually averse to violence, finally summoned the Saint Emperor’s Eye to counter the Ancient King in this critical moment. The Saint Emperor’s Eye was a supreme treasure; once activated, its beams caused heaven and earth to collapse, erasing all life in their path!

You Cu had always feared using it precisely because of its terrifying power.

“Bad! The saint emperor is desperate! I must flee immediately…”

The Ancient King was struck by a black beam from the Saint Emperor’s Eye, his body collapsing, his primordial energy severely damaged. In an instant, a third of his massive form was erased.

The Saint Emperor’s Eye was simply too terrifying.

“Quickly, all of you enter the Good and Evil Judgment Plate! The two saint emperors are now fighting back!”

Sensing the Ancient King’s situation, Shui Miao was alarmed. He immediately pulled everyone into the Good and Evil Judgment Plate, then poured all his power into a teleportation technique, appearing behind the two saint emperors in an instant. He struck both of their backs simultaneously—offense was the best defense, and Shui Miao still believed in the creed that the brave prevail in a narrow path.
