190: A divine eye? A blind man? (Seventy-five)
Jun Yun had been silent in the Sword Tomb for three years.
During these three years, he not only repaired his Divine Soul that was on the brink of collapse, but also thoroughly transformed the gains from that gamble into his own foundation.
But in his heart, there were still two unsolvable doubts.
The second Supreme Phantom had mentioned "another Double-Pupiled One" at the end.
In Jun Yun's mind, for no reason, the image of that Plain-clothed youth he had met once in Tianjiao City surfaced.
That Plain-clothed youth, who possessed Chaos Luck and whom even he could not see through, seemed to have his eyes squinted when they first met, making it impossible to see his pupils clearly.
"Squinty-eyed people are all monsters."
Since stepping onto the First Ancient Star, Jun Yun had never sensed that person's aura again.
Could it be that he was attracted by the Sword Intent here early on and came to this Sword Tomb?
Jun Yun's Minds Eye swept over the entire ruins, but found no clues.
The other doubt came from himself.
Over the past three years, the prototype of his "Plundering Sword Dao," which fused two types of Supreme Sword Principles, had become incredibly stable.
But no matter how he comprehended or deduced, he could not make it advance any further.
It was as if an invisible barrier was constantly blocking him.
The Heart Sword he had obtained by chance was even more mysterious, and he had yet to find its threshold.
"Is it because I lack true life-and-death tempering..."
Jun Yun muttered to himself in confusion.
Despite this, his current strength had undergone earth-shaking changes.
He was confident that he was now capable of crushing any ordinary Saint Physique level Prodigy.
Jun Yun stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes.
He had stayed on this First Ancient Star for too long.
Three years had passed, and those who still remained here were either the lowest-tier Prodigies who had long given up on competing for the emperors road,
Or "Secluded Ones" who had no interest in the emperor fate and only wanted to use the dense Stellar Power here to safely Cultivate.
They were no longer Jun Yun's targets.
He took a step forward and left the now completely silent Sword Tomb... Meanwhile.
On the distant Third Ancient Star.
In a desperate mountain range that had been completely reduced to ruins.
You Chen leaned against a broken stone pillar, covered in blood, his aura fluctuating wildly.
Around him, in all directions, floated dozens of figures.
Every single figure emitted a terrifying aura enough to make the stars tremble.
They came from different realms; some were humanoid, while others were hideous beasts.
But without exception, they were the top-tier existences on this Ancient Starry Road.
Three years had passed.
You Chen's strength was no longer what it used to be. Relying on the mystery of his Nirvana Physique and that Nirvana Dao Intent, he had swept through everything, and his combat power had already reached the King-sealing level.
He was even considered a powerhouse among ordinary God Kings.
Such strength was enough for him to walk unhindered on the Ancient Starry Road.
But at this moment, he was pushed to a corner.
All because he had obtained a wordless celestial book in a ruin on the Third Ancient Star.
News had somehow leaked out, attracting the greed of all the powerhouses.
Those who could reach the Third Ancient Star were not weaklings.
Heavenly God Peak was merely the entry-level threshold here.
Quasi-King-sealing level experts were everywhere, and King-sealing level powerhouses were not few in number.
"You Chen, hand over the Wordless Scripture, and we can spare your life."
A being surrounded by Chaos lightning, whose aura had reached the God King Peak, spoke with a voice like thunder.
He was the "Thunder King" of the Leize Realm, long-famed and notorious.
"Hehe, Thunder King, you are mistaken. Such a divine object belongs to the virtuous. I think it's more appropriate for me to keep it."
On the other side, a graceful Demon Race woman dressed in revealing black gauze, yet emitting Emperor-sealing level combat power fluctuations, spoke with a giggle.
Her gaze was like a venomous snake, fixed firmly on You Chen, as if looking at a plaything that was easily obtainable.
Facing such a lineup, even You Chen felt immense pressure.
He had been pursued from the Third Ancient Star ruins to this place, and after consecutive battles, the Divine Power in his body was mostly exhausted.
You Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly stood up straight.
He looked around at those greedy and cold faces and suddenly gave a cold laugh.
"You all want it?"
He slowly raised his hand, and that ancient scripture with no writing appeared in his palm.
Everyone's breathing instantly quickened.
Every person's eyes were fixed on that scripture, fearing it would disappear in the next second.
You Chen's gaze swept over everyone, his smile carrying a hint of madness and resolution.
He paused and said word by word,
"Is it hard to handle?"
"Then let's not handle it at all!"
The moment his voice fell.
You Chen made a move that was unexpected by everyone.
He did not try to activate the scripture, nor did he think of using it to threaten anyone.
He used his fingers as a sword, condensing his Dao Rhyme, which was enough to annihilate all things, at his fingertip, and struck the wordless celestial book in his hand with a fierce sword strike.
Since everyone wanted it, he would destroy it.
No one would get it.
"You dare!"
"Madman!"
Countless roars of shock and anger rang out simultaneously.
Those top powerhouses could no longer remain calm and attacked one after another, trying to stop You Chen.
The Thunder King even transformed into a bolt of lightning, moving with extreme speed, wanting to seize the scripture before You Chen destroyed it.
However, it was too late.
You Chen's finger had already tapped onto the wordless celestial book.
Buzz!
The expected scene of the scripture being destroyed did not appear.
After coming into contact with You Chen's Nirvana Dao Intent, the ancient scripture was not destroyed; instead, it seemed as if some kind of Restriction had been activated.
It trembled violently.
The next moment.
A supreme and terrifying Sword Dao power erupted from that wordless celestial book.
It was not an explosion of energy, but rather a pure diffusion of the "Dao."
A Sword Intent ripple swept out from You Chen as the center, heading toward the entire Third Ancient Star.
In the face of this Sword Intent, space lost its meaning, and time seemed to freeze.
The world-destroying Divine Abilities unleashed by those top powerhouses easily dissipated before this ripple.
Their Divine Souls trembled frantically under this supreme Sword Dao Will, as if they could be erased at any moment.
Everyone discovered in horror that their bodies and their Laws had all lost control.
They could only watch helplessly as that Sword Intent ripple swept over them.
The entire process took only an instant.
When everything returned to normal,
That terrifying Sword Intent had vanished without a trace.
The top powerhouses stabilized themselves with lingering fear and hurriedly looked toward the center of the storm.
There was no longer anyone there.
The mountain range was still the same ruined mountain range.
But You Chen, along with that wordless celestial book, had completely disappeared from everyone's sight, without leaving a single shred of his aura.
