Chapter 1127: Holy Eye

As a chilling atmosphere permeated between Zhou Yuan and Ji Mo, all the forces within the great canyon began to slowly retreat in unison.

At this moment, even the previously arrogant Saint Race teams became much more cautious. Zhou Yuan's demonstrated power forced them to cast aside their arrogance.

Both sides tacitly avoided initiating a full-scale battle, knowing that such a confrontation would inevitably lead to heavy casualties for both. Neither was willing to pay such a price at this time, as it would only benefit other competitors in the end. Just as the Five Heavens have competitive relationships among their various races, the Saint Race's Four Heavens are not a unified block; significant competition exists among them as well.

The most frustrated individual, however, was Li Xuan of the Saint Race. Just as he was about to annihilate the main forces from Cangxuan Heaven, an unexpected formidable obstacle suddenly appeared. Li Xuan stared gloomily at Zhou Yuan's figure, a hint of fear lingering deep in his eyes. Back in Cangxuan Heaven, he had always scoffed at Zhou Yuan's dominance over the Sacred Palace's younger generation, believing it was merely due to the incompetence of youngsters like Jiang Taishen. But now, as he faced Zhou Yuan himself, he finally understood how unlucky Jiang Taishen and the others truly were.

To exist in the same era as such a figure was simply tragic. And most tragically, he was now beginning to experience that very feeling himself.

"This guy is actually this strong! But thankfully, Senior Brother Ji Mo has made his move. With his strength, he will surely be able to suppress this fiend."

Li Xuan's gaze shifted back to Ji Mo, with even greater reverence in his eyes. As long as Ji Mo could suppress Zhou Yuan, the morale of the Tianyuan Region would be severely damaged, and the situation could still be salvaged.

As all forces from both sides completely withdrew from the canyon battlefield, countless eyes converged nervously on the two figures facing each other. Everyone understood that only the clash between these two could determine the outcome of today's confrontation.

Under the convergence of countless gazes, Ji Mo's figure slowly ascended into the air. He stood in the void, gazing at Zhou Yuan, though the scorn from before was now absent from his eyes. Although he still possessed the arrogance inherent to the Saint Race, he understood that such pride was useless when facing an opponent of this caliber.

"You are Zhou Yuan, the Elder from Tianyuan Region, correct? If you are willing to retreat now, I can allow you to take the Cangxuan Sect forces with you," Ji Mo said slowly.

As soon as he spoke, it immediately caused a stir among the main forces of Cangxuan Heaven. Other factions, not part of the Cangxuan Sect, all showed expressions of worry. They hadn't expected the perpetually arrogant Ji Mo to actually concede a step. However, to their relief, Zhou Yuan merely shook his head calmly in response to Ji Mo's concession.

"I will take everyone with me."

At this moment, deep gratitude surged onto the faces of the various factions from Cangxuan Heaven. Their reverence for Zhou Yuan surely reached its peak, as not everyone possessed the courage to protect them when facing the Saint Race.

Hearing this, Ji Mo shook his head with a hint of regret: "Humans are still so unappreciative. In that case, you may as well die."

As his words fell, Ji Mo's eyes suddenly turned cold. Golden blood, shimmering with a faint golden light, began to flow from his fingertip. He then quickly drew in the void before him, forming an ancient golden rune in just a few breaths. Once the golden rune took shape, it transformed into a beam of golden light and shot directly towards the vertical slit between Ji Mo's eyebrows.

"Open the Saint Pupil!"

Boom!

The Genesis Qi throughout heaven and earth seemed to riot at this moment. The Saint Race teams behind stared with reverence at the spot between Ji Mo's eyebrows. The Saint Pupil was the most prominent mark of the Saint Race, and could only be activated when one's bloodline cultivation reached an extremely formidable level. This Saint Pupil was considered one of the Saint Race's innate divine abilities, possessing boundless power.

Under countless shocked gazes, the vertical mark between Ji Mo's eyebrows slowly opened. Beneath it, a vertical pupil, shimmering with faint golden light, appeared in everyone's line of sight. And upon seeing that vertical pupil, both the forces from Cangxuan Heaven and Tianyuan Region felt an indescribable sense of fear. That emotionless vertical pupil, like the eye of a god, coldly gazed upon all living beings. The power contained within it seemed capable of destroying any living creature.

The Genesis Qi of heaven and earth boiled and surged. That phenomenon caused even Qin Lian and the others to show expressions of shock. What kind of power could cause such a heavenly phenomenon?! Facing this scene, even Qin Lian, who had ample confidence in Zhou Yuan, felt a surge of worry. This Ji Mo was clearly more than just one level stronger than Wei Tuo!

In the void, Ji Mo stood with his hands behind his back. He stared coldly at Zhou Yuan and said, "To witness my Saint Race's Saint Pupil, you can die without regrets."

Zhou Yuan also gazed at the vertical pupil between Ji Mo's eyebrows, his expression solemn. He could vaguely discern that within the vertical pupil, two star-like points of light seemed to be slowly moving around the pupil, which was quite bizarre. An extremely dangerous aura rose within Zhou Yuan's heart. The power of this Saint Pupil was truly terrifying.

As Ji Mo's voice fell, the world fell silent for a few breaths. Then, vast Genesis Qi surged wildly, and the two star-like points of light within the vertical pupil suddenly became dazzling. A majestic whisper, as if from a deity, seemed to resonate. Golden bloodlines traced from the corners of Ji Mo's eyes, forming bizarre runes on his face. The next instant, he abruptly formed a hand seal.

"Saint Pupil: Light of Extinction!"

The moment the hand seal was formed, a dark beam of light shot out from within the Saint Pupil. The beam of light was silent, but the moment it shot forth, the entire sky darkened, as if all light had been devoured by the beam. Everything in its path turned to dust.

Both the forces from Tianyuan Region and Cangxuan Heaven looked on in horror. An attack of such power was simply unheard of. Anxious and worried gazes converged on Zhou Yuan. They wondered how Zhou Yuan would possibly defend against such a terrifying attack.

Under the convergence of these gazes, Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and closed his eyes slightly. Within his Divine Dwelling, the gourd-shaped light illusion, hovering between substance and void, pulsed slightly. A streak of flowing seven-colored light within it gradually grew brighter, then, with a whoosh, shot forth.

Zhou Yuan opened his eyes. He raised one hand in front of him and softly said, "My treasure, please appear."

The instant his voice fell, a streak of seven-colored light suddenly shot up from the top of Zhou Yuan's head. Though the light was faint, when it appeared, the darkness covering heaven and earth was instantly cleaved apart.
