347: Chapter 347 Siege!
Yun Wuya's pair of pure black eyes, which seemed to devour all light, slowly scanned the Star Domain enveloped by the Formation, like the most precise instrument.
When his gaze swept past the pitch-black petal behind Su Mo, which was guarded at the core by the power of the Formation, the black vortex in his eyes suddenly froze for an instant.
It immediately returned to its unfathomable depth, though a trace of almost imperceptible heat flashed within the depths of his pupils.
Immediately afterward, his gaze settled on Su Mo.
His voice was flat, betraying no emotion, yet it carried a condescending, cold inquiry, as if confirming a trivial matter:
"Was it you who killed my Sky Patrol Immortal Alliance Elder?"
Su Mo showed no fear facing this sudden Taiyi Golden Immortal Peak expert and wielder of the Devouring Dao Body; instead, he revealed a faint, slightly mocking smile:
"That's right. However, rather than 'killed,' I'd say I kindly sent them... to eternal rest. After all, guarding the door for so long must be tiring, wouldn't you agree?"
Yun Wuya's face remained utterly devoid of emotional fluctuation, as if Su Mo had only admitted to stepping on a few ants.
He merely nodded lightly:
"Good. Very good."
Just then, Three Eyes, who was standing nearby, let out a low roar, his massive purple eyes fixed on Yun Wuya as he bellowed in a muffled voice:
"My eye! It's on you! I can feel it! Give me back my eye!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable projection's heart sank instantly!
One of the worst-case scenarios had been confirmed!
The missing World-Breaking Demonic Eye belonging to Three Eyes was indeed on this person, and it appeared to have been completely refined by him!
This meant that the opponent not only possessed terrifying cultivation but also had mastered a retreat path that could take him into the Heavenly Demon Realm at any time!
The difficulty and variables of this siege instantly doubled!
Hearing this, Yun Wuya slightly turned his head to look at Three Eyes' massive dark-gold demonic body. A trace of imperceptible recollection and indifference seemed to flash in his pure black eyes:
"It's you. That Heavenly Demon who broke into this realm back then? This Venerable remembers taking your slightly troublesome eye after severely injuring and Sealing you. I didn't expect that after ten thousand years, you would escape confinement?"
His tone held no mockery, only the indifference of stating a fact:
"This Venerable has completely refined the World-Breaking Demonic Eye, and it complements the Devouring Dao Body perfectly. Since you have taken the initiative to show yourself today, very well, this Venerable shall send you completely on your way, eliminating future trouble forever."
Before his voice faded, Yun Wuya casually raised his right hand, pointing his index finger lightly toward Three Eyes.
The movement was understated, without any fanfare.
But in front of his fingertip, space suddenly collapsed inward and twisted, and a pitch-black beam of light, condensed to the extreme, shot out silently!
Wherever this beam passed, even the very existence of the Void Realm seemed to be partially consumed, leaving a terrifying trajectory!
Its speed and the condensation of its might far surpassed any previous attack from the Elder Immortal Master Xinghe and the others, aiming directly for the empty eye socket in Three Eyes' brow, clearly intending complete annihilation in one blow!
"Formation Activate—Nine Abysses Return to Origin, Suppress!!"
In the nick of time, the Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable's roar echoed through the Void Realm!
The massive Formation Diagram, which had been ready, suddenly erupted with sky-high brilliance!
Countless gray-gold and Chaos-colored Formation runes, like animated chains, wove into a massive net covering the sky. Instead of meeting the black beam, they instantly acted upon the entire spatial region where Yun Wuya stood!
Buzz—!!!
A strange field of suppression and interference, specifically targeting the Devouring Dao Body, descended with a crash!
The pitch-black beam shooting toward Three Eyes visibly slowed down, finally dissolving into nothingness less than a hundred zhang away from Three Eyes, without raising even a ripple!
At the same time, Yun Wuya, who was at the center of the Formation, clearly felt that the surging Devouring power within him was like sinking into a viscous swamp; its operational speed plummeted, and its might was forcibly suppressed and weakened by at least eighty percent!
A trace of clear astonishment flashed across Yun Wuya's pure black eyes for the first time.
He slightly lowered his head, looked at the finger he had just pointed, and then looked up to scan the massive Formation Diagram around him, which was flowing with light and ancient dao rhyme.
The indifference that had been etched on his face for ten thousand years was finally replaced by a trace of cold amusement.
"So that's it." Yun Wuya's voice remained steady but contained a hint of playfulness. "Using the Nether Udumbara as bait to set up this ancient miraculous Formation specifically countering the power of Devouring... Heh, interesting."
His gaze returned to Su Mo, his black eyes deep:
"You intended to use this petal to lure this Venerable here. Then, utilize this Formation to suppress this Venerable's Devouring Dao Body before making your move? Let this Venerable guess... Are you trying to seize this Venerable's Devouring Dao Body Origin? Yes, or no?"
Facing Yun Wuya's instant insight that had deciphered most of the plan, Su Mo showed no panic at being exposed. Instead, he smiled even more brightly, even carrying a sense of relieved ease:
"Originally, I was wondering if I might feel a bit of a psychological burden if the person who came had no grievance with me? After all, seizing someone's dao foundation counts as forming a mortal enmity."
He spread his hands, his tone carrying a hint of mockery:
"But now that I see it's you, the Alliance Leader of the Sky Patrol Immortal Alliance, I have absolutely no worries. Those Elders who turned to ash outside—you sent them, didn't you? Tsk, truly a bunch of worthless trash, unable to withstand a single blow. With a superior like that, their deaths weren't unjustified."
This undisguised mockery and contempt finally caused a clear coldness to appear on Yun Wuya's face, which had been like eternal ice.
The black vortex in his eyes spun faster, emitting an even more dangerous aura.
"A Peak Golden Immortal cultivation, a severely wounded Taiyi-stage Heavenly Demon whose strength is less than one-tenth of its Peak, plus a remnant soul dug up from some unknown corner..."
Yun Wuya's voice was cold, every word seeming to carry the weight of devouring stars:
"With just this, plus a Formation designed specifically to counter the Devouring Dao Body, you believe you can secure victory and capture this Venerable?"
He shook his head slightly, and for the first time, clear disdain and arrogance appeared in his pure black eyes:
"Arrogant."
As his voice fell, an aura of terror far deeper than before began to slowly rise from his body!
Even under the Formation's suppression, the absolute might belonging to a Taiyi Golden Immortal Peak still caused the surrounding Void Realm to groan under the strain!
Fu Tianming, who had been standing ready but was completely ignored, felt his breath seize and his Immortal Soul tremble at this moment.
He had never felt such terrifying pressure; even when facing Li Juexin and his wife at their Peak working together, it was less than one ten-thousandth of what he felt now!
Is this... the Devouring Dao Body at the Taiyi Peak?
