Twisted Demonic Eye

"This..."

Shelley's expression turned somewhat ugly.

Roy's intelligence was clearly greater than she had anticipated.

Now, Shelley could only hope this was not one of the family's strongholds. Otherwise, if Roy uncovered something, the Four Divine Beast Family would have no choice but to painfully lose an elder at the Seven-star Demon Level.

Why were people from great families like theirs so much stronger than ordinary independent cultivators, both in strength and cultivation speed?

Aside from talent and the family's systematic guidance, resources such as Soul Gold Beads, which could increase one's soul strength, were also indispensable.

Perhaps limited by comprehension and spiritual aptitude, they would reach an insurmountable bottleneck once they cultivated to become High-level Gods or attained the strength of Four-star or Five-star Devils. Yet, with the support of their resources, realms that others needed tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years to reach could be attained by them in mere thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Without even thinking about it, Shelley knew the family could never abandon such things.

"Alright, Shelley."

Seeing that Shelley did not look well, Roy waved his hand.

"Don't take this matter too much to heart."

"As long as we steadily grow stronger, such matters will grow ever more distant from us."

"I am the best example."

"In this world, hundreds of millions die every day for all sorts of reasons. We cannot concern ourselves with all of them. If we encounter them, it is their good fortune. If we do not, it is their misfortune."

"Mm, I understand, Elder Roy."

Hearing Roy say this, Shelley felt relieved.

It seemed Elder Roy was not such a stickler after all.

After returning to his bedroom within the Metal Life, Roy gazed through its window at the rapidly passing scenery outside and sighed softly.

This was a world where great power belonged to the individual.

The weak were prey to the strong, and only the fit survived.

Fortunately, he was no longer an ant.

Cultivate!

Cultivate!

Closing his eyes, waves of fluctuations similar to the Laws of the World emerged from Roy's body.

However, these fluctuations soon sank into Roy's soul, tempering it and enhancing its strength and quality.

Whenever Roy grew tired, he would contemplate the Fusion Law or develop techniques of his own.

Several hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

"Boom!"

One day, Roy was awakened by a violent tremor. Sweeping out with his Spiritual Sense, he discovered four or five people attacking the Metal Life outside.

"Bandits?"

"Damn it!"

On the Metal Life, Shelley gritted her teeth and rapidly channeled divine power into it, maintaining its protective barrier.

She had been careless.

Since they had not encountered an attack for several hundred years, Shelley had only maintained enough divine power for flight in the later part of the journey in order to conserve energy. She had not activated the Metal Life's divine power defenses.

She had not expected to encounter bandits here.

Moreover, every one of them was no weaker than this divine clone of hers.

At the very least, before they attacked, her Spiritual Sense had failed to detect them.

Could Elder Roy defeat them?

A wisp of yellow sand appeared behind Shelley. In the next instant, the sand condensed into Roy's form.

"Are these people bandits?"

"Lord Roy."

Seeing Roy, Shelley breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, Lord Roy. This place is less than thirty years away from Emperor Wing City, so many powerful people specifically prey on lone travelers or Metal Lives passing through to seize their wealth..."

"Emperor Wing City?"

The name was somewhat familiar to Roy.

If he remembered correctly, it was a Great City. Its City Lord, the Emperor Wing Devil, was an extremely powerful Seven-star Devil.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Upon seeing Roy appear, the five bandits outside intensified their attacks.

Their powerful attacks slammed into the Metal Life's divine power barrier, striking crack after crack across it.

A few more hits, and the divine power barrier might collapse.

"Hmph!"

At this sight, something seemed to brew within Roy's pupils as he raised his head and looked at the five people attacking the Metal Life.

"Not good!"

In an instant, the bandits felt an overwhelming sense of danger descend upon them.

They had picked the wrong target!

Unfortunately, before they could flee, they felt the space around them begin to distort.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

In just an instant, the five bandits, each of whom appeared no weaker than Shelley's Fire Element Divine Clone in her eyes, were ground apart and exploded by the powerful twisting force. Only five divine sparks of different colors remained floating in the air before Roy reached out and stored them in his Spatial Ring.

"This..."

"Gulp..."

"So, so strong!"

A trace of shock flashed through Shelley's eyes.

Ignoring Shelley, Roy was quite satisfied with the technique he had developed over the years.

"Twisted Demonic Eye!"

This was a technique Roy had created by taking the Soul Attack of Life Force as its foundation and incorporating Gravity Space, Earth Element, and Earth Travel Technique. It combined Soul Attack and physical attack into one, making it impossible to guard against.

With the Law Profound Mystery of Life Force as the core and Gravity Space as support, Roy used these two Law Profound Mysteries to create a disorderly, distorted space.

The Law Profound Mysteries of Earth Travel Technique and Earth Element allowed Twisted Demonic Eye to lock onto a target through Roy's line of sight, causing the distorted space Roy created to descend directly upon the target. Below the Seven-star Demon Level, Roy guaranteed that whoever he glared at would die, and a single glance at a group would kill them all.

Even among Seven-star Demons, few could escape after being struck by this technique that fused Four Law Profound Mysteries.

It was very late today. I'm short by four hundred words; I'll make them up tomorrow.
