Hiss!!
At that moment, countless cultivators gasped in shock on the spot.
Was the kobold genius weak? Not at all. He was a formidable expert at the Yang God Realm, whose combat strength—when bolstered by various techniques—could rival even those in the True Spirit Realm. His ability to phase made him immune to most attacks; divine powers couldn't touch him, and harming him was incredibly difficult. Yet that death scythe attack struck directly at the soul. If used unexpectedly, it could easily take a life in one blow—not an impossibility.
But what truly shocked the crowd was how fast the defeat occurred. So fast that the kobold didn't even have a chance to mount a defense.
Instant kill!
This was a blatant, ruthless instant kill.No mercy, no theatrics—just two swift attacks. First, the phasing was disrupted. Second, the body was shattered.It was brutally efficient.
The Eternal World's morale, previously surging high, took a sharp blow. Confidence crumbled in an instant.
"His hands… his palms have eyes!"
"That's a Thousand-Eyed Demon—a member of the Thousand-Handed Eye Demon Clan. They're incredibly powerful. They possess as many eyes as they have hands, and each eye holds a unique and terrifying pupil technique. No one knows how many hands they truly have or how many techniques they've mastered. Rumor has it they can convert almost any divine art or spell into a form of pupil magic, and when mastered, it becomes a magic eye on their palm. They can even plunder powerful eyes from others."
This clan was one of the top-tier races of the Eternal Night World, feared across the cosmos.Just two hands—and thus two eyes—had appeared, and already one of the Eternal World's geniuses was killed on the spot.
And this Thousand-Eyed Demon wasn't just any member. He was a prodigy, a monstrous-level genius. He certainly had more than two demonic hands. If he revealed them all… who could even imagine the extent of his power?
"Natives… pitifully weak."
The Thousand-Eyed Demon looked disdainfully at the shattered body of the kobold, his lips curling in contempt. His voice was cold and full of scorn.
"Bastard! I'll fight you!"
That blatant insult was a slap to the face of every Eternal World genius. Many of them trembled with fury, itching to rip him apart.
At that moment, a figure stepped onto the arena—it was a genius of the Three-Eyed Divine Race.
The Three-Eyed Clan was renowned for their pupil techniques. Masters of the mystic eye, they were unrivaled in this field. One fully cultivated Divine Eye could allow them to ascend into true great power. Their third eye was their core strength, and its power determined their overall standing—beyond what normal realms could define.
The one who appeared now was none other than Tong Ba, a Divine Son of the Three-Eyed Clan.
"So he really didn't die that day… He must've had some life-preserving technique. Otherwise, he couldn't have survived that blow."
Yi Tianxing's gaze sharpened. Back at the Heaven's Chosen Banquet, he had once shot an arrow that seemingly killed Tong Ba. But it was now clear that Tong Ba had survived, using some secret method.
Not that it mattered now. They were both warriors of the Eternal World, both fighting for its survival.
Tong Ba's strength had grown tremendously since that time. The humiliation of his defeat had clearly become fuel for his growth. As a Divine Son of the Three-Eyed Clan, he had unlimited resources. His current cultivation was at the Yang God Realm, nearing the True Spirit Realm. But his true strength stemmed from his third eye—his Divine Eye.
"Three-Eyed Clan… Compared to me, your eyes are like a child's toy. Worthless."
The Thousand-Eyed Demon sneered as his gaze landed on Tong Ba's third eye, clearly mocking the idea of quantity over quality.
Tong Ba's face darkened. He sneered in return.
"Even a single Divine Eye can crush thousands of your worthless demonic eyes."
Without another word, Tong Ba's third eye slowly opened, just a slit—but the power it unleashed twisted the surrounding space. A silver radiance flickered within, filled with unparalleled sharpness—like it could cut space itself.
"His Void-Cleaving Divine Eye is far more powerful than before," Yi Tianxing silently observed.
Back then, Yi Tianxing only succeeded in killing Tong Ba because he was stronger. But he couldn't deny the terrifying might of the Void-Cleaving Eye—a spatial attribute Divine Eye of exceptional destructiveness.
Wherever its gaze landed, space would collapse. Everything in that space would be torn apart, reduced to nothingness.
Tong Ba's eye fully opened, his expression ice-cold.
"Kill!!"
A beam of silver light burst from his eye, transforming into a massive silver void blade in midair. Arcane Dao runes crisscrossed its surface. Every inch radiated pure, sharp destruction. Even space itself buckled under its edge.
Void-Cleaving Divine Eye – Sky-Splitting Blade!! ✴️
This was a Divine Ability condensed from spatial sharpness, forming a blade so lethal it could cut even divine artifacts.
CRACK!
Its emergence sent chills through everyone watching. The blade seemed to vanish into space the moment it appeared, only to re-emerge before the Thousand-Eyed Demon in a blink, slashing straight for his heart.
The Divine Eye of the Three-Eyed Clan wasn't just a technique—it was treated as a lifebound treasure, refined with runes and heavenly materials. At its peak, it could rival innate spiritual treasures.
"Spatial eyes aren't truly invincible."
The Thousand-Eyed Demon showed no fear. Behind him, more demonic hands appeared. As each palm opened, eyes were revealed.
Beams of light shot forth from these eyes, slamming into the Void Blade.
As they did, the blade visibly slowed—from lightning speed to crawling like a tortoise. Upon closer look, the light from each eye was identical in energy signature. The Thousand-Eyed Demon could replicate identical eyes at the cost of more hands.
The newly revealed eyes were clearly Slowing Eyes—a pupil technique that drastically reduced the speed of any target it struck. The effect was stackable. A few beams wouldn't do much, but ten or twenty? The result was dramatic.
The ultimate blade of speed had now become sluggish—creating a jarring and terrifying contrast.
Shua-shua-shua!
Suddenly, even more arms appeared behind the Thousand-Eyed Demon. Dozens of demonic eyes opened and simultaneously unleashed beams of divine light.
The barrage was aimed at Tong Ba.
Tong Ba reacted instantly. A flash of silver light wrapped around his body, forming a silver battle armor.
Void-Cleaving Divine Eye – Void-Shattering Armor!! ✴️
The armor was composed of countless spatial fragments. Any divine power or attack that struck it would be cut apart and shredded. Its defense was astounding—on par with many innate treasures.
But even this wasn't enough.
As the magical eye beams rained down, the spatial fragments composing the armor began to flicker, destabilize, and finally explode into shards.
Yet in that moment of destruction, the shattered armor burst into light—teleporting Tong Ba away.
[Emergency Evacuation] – The Void-Shattering Armor had an escape function. Upon destruction, it would instantly transfer the wearer out of danger. An unstoppable space shift.
"Cowardly native. What a bore."
The Thousand-Eyed Demon sneered as he looked at the spot where Tong Ba vanished. His gaze then shifted to the edge of the arena—where Tong Ba had reappeared, safe but disgraced.
