Chapter 1058: Tianzhu Eye

The terrifying golden torrent, like a celestial river, tore through the void, hurtling towards emptiness.

The torrent was so vast that probably billions of living beings throughout the entire Tianyuan Region could clearly witness this scene. The destructive power contained within it made their souls tremble.

All the inhabitants of the Tianyuan Region were terrified. They knew that the Tianyuan Region faced a colossal disaster that day, and as part of it, if the region shattered, they would be greatly affected. At the very least, their previous peaceful and orderly cultivation might be eradicated, and the establishment of a new order would inevitably involve bloodshed and conflict.

However, facing an attack of this magnitude, they were powerless, even if they wished to participate.

Thus, they could only watch helplessly as the destructive torrent tore through the void, awaiting their fate.

Boom! Under the awestruck gaze of countless onlookers, the golden torrent collided with a certain point in the void.

In that instant, the void immediately began to collapse, forming a massive black hole. Through the depths of the black hole, a spatial realm seemed faintly visible, filled with countless floating islands... It was none other than the Tianyuan Heaven!

However, as the void continuously collapsed, a gigantic circular light formation suddenly appeared at the entrance. The formation was abstruse and profound, emanating immense power. This was precisely the protective barrier personally set up by Great Sovereign Cang Yuan back then, its core being three wondrous objects.

The terrifying golden torrent crashed against the light formation, causing ripples to spread out. Yet, it was clear that the formation possessed unimaginable defensive power; no matter how the golden torrent assaulted it, it failed to tear it apart.

Upon seeing this, the countless beings in the Tianyuan Region immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

In the void at the border, Hong Jiuyuan's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched this scene. He murmured, "Is this the protective barrier that Great Sovereign Cang Yuan set up back then? Truly terrifying."

The power emanating from that light formation made even him feel trepidation. Such a protective barrier would likely be unshakable even if all the Law Domain experts, including them, attacked together.

"What a pity, though..." Hong Jiuyuan shook his head again. One of the three wondrous objects that formed the light formation barrier had fallen into their hands.

He formed a hand seal. In the void, the golden crystal enveloped by the golden torrent suddenly fractured, then shattered with a thunderous roar.

The cloud-like substance within, which seemed to contain some form of life, was also pulverized at that moment.

A terrifying power swept forth, directly absorbed by the surrounding golden torrent. Consequently, the torrent surged wildly, its momentum even more horrifying.

Most importantly, with the shattering of the golden crystal, streaks of light patterns within the previously perfect light formation barrier began to dim, causing a flaw in the flawless array.

This sight immediately caused the countless beings in the Tianyuan Region to tense up once more.

Within the Tianyuan Heaven, Xi Jing, Sect Master Xuan Kun, and others' gazes darkened.

"We cannot let them continue their reckless assault!" Xi Jing said in a low voice.

Sect Master Xuan Kun nodded, looking at Xi Jing. "What do you intend to do?"

Xi Jing raised her head, looking at the brilliant sun hanging high above the Tianyuan Heaven. It was the Sky Candle Eye, a Twin-Lotus Saint Treasure, whose renown echoed throughout the entire Hunyuan Heaven.

She extended her palm, and a token shimmered into existence within it. Carved onto the token was a deep, ancient eye, radiating a mysterious aura.

This was the Sky Candle Token. A Saint Treasure of the Sky Candle Eye's caliber already possessed independent sentience; it would only obey the commands of Great Sovereign Cang Yuan. Therefore, Xi Jing could only rely on the Sky Candle Token left by Cang Yuan to control its power.

Xi Jing activated the Sky Candle Token, and immediately, a wisp of green smoke rose from it, dissipating into the void.

At that very moment, everyone within the Tianyuan Heaven felt the world's Genesis Qi violently surge. They looked up in slight alarm, then saw the high-hanging blazing sun slowly tear open a fissure.

Within the fissure, there appeared to be an impossibly massive, ancient, and mysterious eye.

Gazing at that eye, even Law Domain experts felt a profound chill well up in their hearts.

"That is..." Zhou Yuan's eyes widened as well.

"It's the Saint Treasure left by Great Sovereign Cang Yuan, the Sky Candle Eye!" Qin Lian, standing nearby, also had a look of shock appear on her stern face.

"Lord Xi Jing is going to activate the Sky Candle Eye! With its power, we can surely repel them!" Yi Qiushui exclaimed with delighted surprise.

Although Zhou Yuan was also somewhat astonished, his brows remained tightly furrowed, and concern lingered in his eyes. He knew that Grand Ancestor Wan Zu must be aware of the Sky Candle Eye's existence, and he wondered if their opponents had made preparations for it...

Nevertheless, Xi Jing's action undoubtedly boosted morale within the Tianyuan Heaven. Countless people cheered in unison, evidently filled with confidence in this fabled Saint Treasure.

The Sky Candle Eye, now with a fissure, slowly turned its gaze beyond the Tianyuan Heaven, seemingly piercing through the void to lock onto Hong Jiuyuan's direction.

Hong Jiuyuan's expression immediately changed. The descending crisis made him realize that the Tianyuan Region had begun to counterattack.

"Are they directly using the Sky Candle Eye already?" he said with a solemn expression.

And it was at this moment that a wisp of flame suddenly shot out from the Sky Candle Eye, high above the Tianyuan Heaven.

The flame was initially only about a zhang in size, but upon its appearance, it directly pierced through the void, then surged fiercely, eventually transforming into a white flaming meteorite.

Boom! The flaming meteorite shattered the void, appearing almost instantaneously in the space where Hong Jiuyuan stood. An indescribable power enveloped the area, directly sealing the entire space. Even Hong Jiuyuan found himself unable to break through the void and escape.

The flames on the meteorite were Saint Flames! Within the meteorite, it also contained power that only a Saint could possess! If that flaming meteorite struck, even a Law Domain expert might not be able to withstand it!

Hong Jiuyuan stood in the void, his expression shifting as he watched the flaming meteorite descend from the emptiness. He knew there was no escape, so he made no futile moves, understanding that someone would naturally intervene against a power of this caliber.

Buzz! Just as the flaming meteorite was about to strike, the void ahead suddenly shattered. Countless eyes witnessed a mysterious beam of light tearing through the air, shining directly onto the flaming meteorite.

Under the illumination of that mysterious beam, the meteorite, covered in Saint Flames, began to melt at an astonishing speed.

By the time the flaming meteorite was only a zhang away from Hong Jiuyuan, it had completely vanished into thin air.

A faint breeze brushed his face. Hong Jiuyuan's expression remained unchanged, but his back was drenched in cold sweat.

Within the Tianyuan Heaven, Xi Jing and the others also witnessed this scene, and their expressions immediately changed drastically.

Their gazes turned beyond the void, directly locking onto a golden pagoda at the border. At the pagoda's spire, a figure in a green robe stood with hands clasped behind their back, a faint smile on their face.

That figure was no stranger to Xi Jing and the others; it was Zhao Xianxun from the Myriad Ancestor Domain.

At this moment, Zhao Xianxun held an octagonal bronze mirror in his hand. The mirror was extremely ancient and appeared remarkably ordinary, yet when Xi Jing and the others saw it, their expressions all turned ashen.

Xi Jing gritted her teeth, a chilling voice emerging. "Ancestral Soul Mirror!"

It was the Saint Treasure of the Myriad Ancestor Domain, also of Twin-Lotus grade, ranked eleventh on the All-Heavens Saint Treasure Registry!
