Chapter 484: Chapter 484: The Indestructible Eye

Before the boundless tide of time, the Virtual Sky Sect was not regarded as a particularly formidable sect. According to ancient records, the last Sect Hierarch of the Virtual Sky Sect had long perished along with the sect itself.

But now, this formidable entity hidden within the rolling black clouds was claiming to be the last Sect Hierarch of the Virtual Sky Sect?

Could it be that he never died in the first place?

“It’s a pity, times have changed. The mighty have fallen, and it’s merely you – individuals of this caliber that can barely revive me,” the mysterious being said with an undertone of regret.

The crowd twitched at his statement. They were some of the most potent individuals among the Lower Three Kingdoms, and even they could only barely revive him? How preposterous!

However, it was quite understandable. The Virtual Sky Sect might not have been much during the ancient epoch, but if it existed today, it would definitely be a colossal force. In terms of strength, the Virtual Sky Sect Hierarch would surely be remarkably formidable.

Once again, gray-winged birds broke free from the black clouds, their numbers so great they seemed to blot out the sky, easily reaching hundreds or thousands.

The faces of the crowd paled in fright. These gray-winged birds were terrifyingly powerful creatures that even Zhao Zhenlong, an esteemed strongman, found hard to resist.

However, no one was prepared to give up without a fight. Everyone strained themselves to their limits, making use of every ability they possessed without holding anything back.

Shrieks started ringing out. The first victims were the independent martial artists. Relative to the others, they were weaker. The gray-winged birds tore open their chests and drained their inner strength.

People continuously fell to the ground, their vitality gone. Even though they were not dead, they had turned into cripples, their cultivation completely lost, rendering them no different from the deceased.

At this point, several influential figures took out their most potent sacred objects.

Mu Hongchen produced an ancient wooden carving of a captivating woman. A crack ran along its body and Mu Hongchen activated it, letting it float above the members of the Black Yin Sect, radiating a protective luminous barrier.

As the birds struck the light barrier, it flickered but ultimately withstood their assault, preventing any harm from reaching the members of the Black Yin Sect.

On the side of the Huang Family, Huang Rulong invoked a copper cauldron and sprayed a mouthful of vital blood into it.

In an instant, it seemed as if the roars of myriad beasts emanated from within the copper cauldron. The gray-winged birds seemingly struck with terror, dared not approach anyone from the Huang Family.

He Qiannian took out a broken longsword with half its length missing.

Grasping the broken sword with a solemn expression, He Qiannian slashed at the swooping gray birds.

With a single sword strike, numerous sword shadows filled the sky, mercilessly cutting down the gray birds.

However, after the sword strike, He Qiannian seemed to have aged considerably, a hint of nearing the end of his life began to surface. Manifestly, activating this broken sword imposed a significant toll on him.

In the case of Yun Country’s royal family, with Zhao Zhenlong reduced to a cripple, four Yun Country princes had no choice but to invoke a piece of black demon bone.

This bone was left behind by an Ancient True Demon, harboring horrifying demonic Qi. It was considered a national treasure of Yun Country.

In the joint effort of the four Yun Country princes, the black demon bone emitted a ghostly light. Following that, a giant black hand holding immeasurable demonic energy materialized. It not only destroyed numerous gray birds, but also reached out towards the dark cloud, intending to suppress the mysterious entity.

Seeing this, everyone’s face brightened up in joy. If they could suppress the mysterious entity, they could resolve the crisis.

“An insignificant demon bone dares to suppress me? How ridiculous,” a scathing voice echoed. Suddenly, a metaphorical finger dropped from the cloud layer, touching the giant black hand.

In an instant, the black demon hand collapsed instantly, reducing into small drops of black light, returning to the demon bone.

All four princes of Yun Country spewed a mouthful of fresh blood, their faces pale. Their cultivation was incapable of dealing with the mysterious entity. Could it be that not even the power of the demon bone could deal with it?

On the side of Qian Country, Yang Jianye took out a torn ancient book, which seemed to exude an aura so ancient it felt like it could crumble at any moment.

Unscrolling the book revealed numerous words and peculiar indecipherable markings.

Hum!

An image of a True Dragon Phantom emerged, shedding golden light that engulfed everyone from Qian Country’s royal house, protecting them.

“Is that the True Dragon Treasure Volume?”

“Turns out the royal house of Qian Country really did obtain this divine item.”

“However, since the volume is torn, its power has likely reduced significantly.”

…

Everyone looking towards Qian Country revealed expressions of astonishment, witnessing the serpentine dragon shadow hovering omnipresently above the golden glow.

Any gray bird that encountered this radiation immediately perished, dissolved into nothingness.

Regarding the Purple Mist Sect, Han Luoyun’s sacred object was exceptionally peculiar – an eyeball.

The eyeball was blood-red, as large as a clenched fist. Han Luoyun cast a spell, triggering the eyeball to release a tremendous aura. The nearby gray birds were instantly obliterated.

“Hmm? A pretty good Indestructible Eye. I’ll take it.” The mysterious entity hidden within the cloud layer expressed surprise. Immediately after, a massive, shriveled hand reached out from the cloud, bringing with it an irrepressible pressure aimed at the Purple Mist Sect.

Han Luoyun’s face darkened as he strained himself to activate the Indestructible Eye. A beam filled with destructive light shot out from the eyeball, hitting the shriveled hand with full force.

The shriveled hand stalled for a moment as a finger broke off.

“Pity, though the Indestructible Eye is powerful, the cultivator invoking it is too weak. They cannot tap into the true might of the Indestructible Eye,” the mysterious entity mockingly declared as the shriveled hand descended.

All the martial artists of the Purple Mist Sect were filled with desperation. Was this mysterious entity intending to completely obliterate them? And if the Indestructible Eye was taken away, what could they do to resist the eerie gray birds?

Fang Lin gritted his teeth, feeling helpless. His own strength, though formidable amongst his generation, was woefully insignificant in this situation. He was unable to do anything and could only watch the events unfold.

As for Han Xiaoxing, her fists were tightly clenched. She had recently killed Zhao Shenji and before she could even celebrate, they were already facing a crisis.

Han Luoyun bit down on his teeth, knowing he had a secret skill that could channel the full power of the Indestructible Eye, releasing an attack almost at par with the full force of an Immortal realm expert.

However, activation of the secret skill came at a great cost. Once invoked, not only would Han Luoyun suffer severe injuries but also face the possibility of his cultivation dropping, sometimes even risking his life.

At this crucial moment, as Han Luoyun was indecisive, an ancient, and raspy voice whispered into Fang Lin’s ear, “Promise me one condition, and I’ll step in to resolve the situation.”
