Chapter 375: Heaven Eye State of Mind

Seeing the War-King Yu's weary, weathered face, Xu Yang finally sighed helplessly.

"The core lineage of the Three-Essence Law flows within you, and this in itself limits the scope of your vision. Furthermore, even standing at the world's summit doesn't guarantee you'll find its end. The true end could be the sky, the ocean... No matter how far your gaze reaches, there are always limits. Perhaps only a boundless state of mind can truly lead you to the end."

As Xu Yang spoke, he suddenly entered a deep meditative state. Standing at the very top of the Sky-Piercing Peak with his hands behind his back, he became like a statue, completely integrating his mind and body with his surroundings.

He stood there for seven days and seven nights.

Then, in a single moment, Xu Yang's eyes snapped open. Two profound beams of enlightened wisdom radiated a tangible glow, instantly illuminating the entire sky.

The boundless azure sky reflected the contours of Xu Yang's soul world. Though the sky couldn't capture vibrant colors, it distinctly outlined the true world outside, as stored in Xu Yang's memory.

At that moment, Xu Yang transformed the entire sky into a clear mirror of his heart.

"You... you truly did it!"

War-King Yu had stayed by Xu Yang's side the entire time, becoming the sole witness to Xu Yang's profound awakening.

Simultaneously, at the bottom of Hundred Roaring Valley, a pair of eyes instantly opened. The Empress almost immediately achieved a state of soul resonance with Xu Yang.

Wushuang, in the distant capital of the Divine Kingdom, also reacted similarly.

"Where are you... Why has our resonance returned? I can feel your heartbeat!"

"Me too!"

The Empress and Wushuang spoke in stunned unison. The spiritual connections of the two goddesses with Xu Yang formed a stable and profound link, reaching the ultimate state of true resonance.

"I am at the Sky-Piercing Peak. To be precise, my soul has now transcended the Three-Essence Law, enveloping every corner of this world. Wherever my thoughts reach, the sky becomes my eyes."

Both women were deeply shocked, yet they weren't surprised by Xu Yang's capabilities and achievements.

As the two most exceptional women in this fantasy world, how could the man they both favored be anything but extraordinary?

"So, you've found the gateway to leave this world?"

"Not yet, but at least the direction is correct. I can now transcend the Three-Essence Law, but I still can't sense the energy fluctuations of the true world outside. Once I re-establish mental contact with that world, I can leave. However, I'm not in a hurry to depart. Achieving the Heavenly Eye state of mind will give us an immense advantage in our confrontation with that formidable entity."

Both the Empress and Wushuang responded with excited affirmations.

"From our perspective, your soul is now god-like, though you cannot yet harness the powers of this world's system for your own use."

Xu Yang gave a wry smile. "That would be difficult. When I entered this world, most of my original energy was sealed. With my current limits, I can't even bear the full strength of either of you. This means that in a real battle, I can only offer vision and soul-level support; you'll still need to wield the power of the Three-Essence system yourselves. Also, I've found War-King Yu, and his guidance was instrumental in my breakthrough to activate the Heavenly Eye."

The Empress finally let out a long breath. "Can you bring him back? If he's willing to transfer his power to me, my Demonic Essence will reach its full potential, comparable to true Law power."

"No problem, I'll persuade him. Wushuang, how are things with you?"

Wushuang gave a wry smile. "I'm personally fine, but that mysterious force has taken control of the royal family and, through special means, manipulated the court officials. I can't act against them directly, or the very foundation of the Divine Kingdom will be destroyed."

"Don't worry. I'll take War-King Yu back first, then gather everyone to return to the Divine Kingdom and meet you. The Endless Sea is the greatest threat to our entire continent!"

"Understood!"

After discussing these crucial matters, Xu Yang withdrew his consciousness. The power of the Heavenly Eye subsided, and the soul images reflected in the sky gradually faded.

The divine light in his pupils receded, and Xu Yang's soul re-entered his body. He then turned to see War-King Yu still standing faithfully by his side.

"Senior, how long was I in that state?"

War-King Yu gave a wry smile. "Seven days and seven nights. You truly possess a realm I cannot reach. If I'm not mistaken, your soul is now as powerful as a god's, capable of disregarding limitations of distance and law."

Xu Yang nodded. "Indeed. Senior, the continent is in crisis. I'll take you back first and help you restore your status and royal glory, but you will also need to make a contribution."

"You mean my power, don't you? If I'm not mistaken, your people at Hundred Roaring Valley have already completed the inheritance of Demonic Essence power, lacking only my contribution. How could I refuse you? If you hadn't gathered these powerful individuals, the Blazing Kingdom, and indeed the entire continent, would have been doomed. I am willing to help!"

With ease, Xu Yang convinced the enlightened monarch to return with him to the Blazing Kingdom.

"Father, it's truly you!"

The Third Prince excitedly knelt, embracing War-King Yu's leg and weeping.

"Rise, my child. You have suffered."

The heartwarming reunion between father and son made Xu Yang's team members also yearn for their own families.

"My departure wasn't a kidnapping, as you might think. I left voluntarily to find answers to what perplexed me."

"So, you've found the answer?"

War-King Yu smiled and shook his head. "Though I haven't found it, he has!"

As he spoke, War-King Yu directed everyone's gaze back to Xu Yang. Before Xu Yang could offer any explanation, another powerful aura emerged from outside—a terrifying wave of energy that suppressed everyone.

The entire outer perimeter of the encampment began to melt, and black smoke seemed to possess the ability to devour everything.

The moment the Empress appeared, everyone's faces tensed. Fortunately, Xu Yang quickly explained that she was his final companion, which finally put them at ease.

"Master, you've returned..."

The Empress glanced at War-King Yu, her eyes burning with an intense desire for slaughter.

"You've indeed inherited the legacy of the Twelve Kings. With only my power remaining, you can reach the peak of strength attainable in this world—a remarkable feat!"
