171: Divine Eyes See the World

Xu Le called Qin Siyuan over; after all, the other party had once been a level 93 entity.

However, Qin Siyuan looked ashamed: "My God, I am sorry. For us Professionals in the past, there was no such thing as a gray mark."

Xu Le looked at the Thousand-Year Fish. The Thousand-Year Fish shook its head: "I don't know. I am not one of you human Professionals, and I cannot even use experience points to level up."

Xu Le: "..."

The Thousand-Year Fish restrained the excitement in its heart and said with feigned indifference: "The monsters in the city have all been cleared out. Let's go out."

Xu Le was shocked: "Can we go out directly without breaking the divine domain?"

Thousand-Year Fish: ﾞ ━ = ͞ ͟ ͟ ͞ ( Ŏ ◊ Ŏ ‧ ̣ ̥ ̇ )

Xu Le: ヾ ( ✿ ﾟ ▽ ﾟ ) ノ

'You little rascal, you've been muttering about going out every day these past few days; it would be hard for me not to recall my experiences in the Xiaoyao Realm.'

The group walked to the city center. A high-rise building in the middle was as bright as new; calling it "standing out from the crowd" would be an insult to the building.

It was simply a sun in the darkness!

As long as one wasn't a fool, one would know something was wrong with this building.

The group soon saw a divine statue.

It had a human head and a snake body, with thick hair on the human head, all of which were venomous snakes ready to strike.

Xu Le summoned his own divine statue. It had to be said that the two were almost identical; the only difference was that the contracted divine statue had no hair, as it had been burned off by Xu Le and the others earlier.

Having advanced to level 90, Xu Le wanted to experience the gap between himself and a god, so he took out his yanyue saber and slashed out with it.

One Cut, Two Halves!

A black half-moon swept across, tearing the surrounding air apart and making a wailing sound.

Seeing that Xu Le's full-force slash was about to strike the divine statue, the divine statue opened its eyes.

The venomous snakes on its head suddenly came to life, their eyes gleaming with ferocity as they lunged to bite.

More than a dozen snakes opened their mouths at the same time, but Xu Le did not retract his blade; he was confident that he could strike the divine statue's head before being bitten.

Clang!

A small snake bit directly onto the blade, and the other small snakes followed suit one after another. Six snakes in a row bit onto the blade, while the rest ejected themselves and flew toward Xu Le's body.

Xu Le switched from slashing to dancing, and after a few flourishes of the blade, the small snakes were killed one by one.

The Skill was wasted.

Xu Le switched from his saber to a golden hammer, holding two in his hands. The divine statue turned its head, and the sculpted strands of hair became clear one by one, then transformed into snakes. In the blink of an eye, hundreds more snakes appeared.

Xu Le wielded the hammers like the wind. Although they were blunt weapons, they were fast at killing the snakes; with one hammer swing, three or five would perish.

But compared to the speed at which the divine statue created snakes, it still seemed far too slow.

Xu Le hardened his heart, switched from hammers to his staff, and after swatting away a few snakes, a blue lotus appeared above the divine statue's head.

Bloom!

Boom!

The divine statue at the center suffered the most violent flame attack. The blue flames burned everything, turning the newly emerged hair into ashes.

The divine statue's eyes immediately turned red.

"Blasphemer, die!"

Boom!

As if the heavens were responding, a thunderclap rang out. A bolt of black lightning appeared from nowhere and struck directly at Xu Le.

Xu Le raised his hand and blasted out a "Chain Lightning," using thunder to strike thunder.

Boom!

The two lightning bolts collided in mid-air. Xu Le's lightning was even superior; not only did it shatter the black lightning, but it also traveled to the divine statue, blasting a crack open in its forehead.

Xu Le understood in an instant!

This was the power of divinity.

In essence, the divine statue was just made of special materials; it didn't even have divinity. It had merely been glanced at by a god.

Xu Le continued his pursuit, blasting a Mental Shock at it. The crack on the divine statue grew larger; from the top of its head to its chin, the divine statue's head was almost split in half.

"Blasphemer, Divine Punishment descends upon the world!"

The divine statue tilted its head back, and eerie green light emerged from its eyes, directly corroding the building's cover.

The green light shot into the firmament and disappeared. The unease in Xu Le's heart grew more intense. Just as he was about to deliver a lethal blow, he suddenly thought of his own divine statue and quickly switched to the Little Silly Crow's Skill.

"Soul Sacrifice!"

A black altar appeared. The unease in Xu Le's heart became even stronger. Unable to wait, he turned around and fled.

Just as he ran out of the staircase, nine gray Soul fragments appeared in his hand, and he immediately had the Little Silly Crow pass them to the divine statue.

They were all of the same origin; presumably, it could obtain a better Skill.

...

The sky was suddenly torn apart, and a pair of golden pupils looked down upon the earth.

For a moment, many experts with high spiritual sensitivity sensed the change in the sky, and one by one, they thought about looking up.

But their Souls trembled, desperately giving a warning: "Don't look up! If you look up, you will die, die, die, die!"

Most people chose to trust their instincts.

But Zhang Shijie was the former head of the Zhang Family. Thinking of his old friends who were already planning to attain the Dao and become gods, while he, due to being busy with Family internal affairs in his early years, only barely reached level 92 while holding the title of head of one of the four Aristocratic Families.

Now, because of the fear in his heart, he didn't even dare to raise his head. He was not reconciled!

Shijie, in his life, was not inferior to anyone!

He suddenly raised his head and saw a pair of golden eyes in the sky. The eyes were indifferent and cold, showing neither sorrow nor joy.

He suddenly snapped back to his senses, horrified: "What am I doing? Curiosity kills the cat; a principle even the young understand, how did I forget it just now?"

He lowered his head and chuckled, thinking to himself that even in his old age, he refused to admit defeat.

But he found that he couldn't lower his head at all. He tried desperately to control it, but his neck was as if paralyzed; he simply couldn't control it.

He couldn't even blink his eyelids; he could only keep staring.

The pair of eyes in the sky was like the most beautiful scenery in the world, making him unable to look away no matter what.

"Master?"

The maid Chuntao, seeing Zhang Shijie continuously looking up at the ceiling, called out softly, but received no response.

She curiously looked up as well, but saw that the exquisite ceiling had no flaws at all.

She searched carefully for three minutes and still couldn't find a single flaw, but Zhang Shijie just kept staring at it, fixedly.

It wasn't just Zhang Shijie; many experts on Blue Star above level 80, because they couldn't control their inner competitiveness, looked up at it for a glance. One glance was for eternity, until the end of their lives.

...

Xu Le felt his scalp tingle and goosebumps broke out all over his body; he was the person truly being watched by the eyes in the sky.

The others were just bystanders caught in the crossfire; as long as they didn't look, there was no risk.

He didn't look at it at all, but there were countless voices whispering in his heart.

"Look at me, take just one look, don't let a beauty wait in the Mortal World."

"As long as you take one look, I bet you will fall in love with me."

"Giggle, silly, are you shy?"

"..."

Xu Le had a strong will and naturally wouldn't be deceived by those voices.

But the blood all over his body began to turn cold, beginning to congeal bit by bit, as if it were soon going to freeze him into an ice sculpture.

The gap between humans and gods was too great!

"Screw you! If you dare to mess with me, I'll at least mess with you!"

Xu Le roared in his heart, waving his staff. A bolt of black lightning flew against the sky, blasting toward the eyes in the sky.

Then came Mental Shock and Blazing Blue Lotus. Just as he was about to cast "Reapers Scythe," the Thousand-Year Fish made a move.

It grabbed Xu Le and, with a flash, flew three kilometers away.

The gaze in the sky continued to pursue them. The Thousand-Year Fish angrily flicked its tail, and a stream of water shot directly into the eyes in the sky.

The pair of eyes hurriedly closed. When they opened again to search, the two were already gone from the ground; even their aura was gone.
