The eyeball was entirely pale, with the blood vessels inside it clearly visible. Brighter than the moon beyond this world, it hung at the center of the night sky.
It gave off no aura, yet it carried the faint impression of power beyond measure.
The instant Li Chang'an met its gaze, pain stabbed through both his eyes.
Discomfort swept through him, as though even his soul were about to be laid bare. He had to lower his head and close his eyes for a moment.
"What kind of creature did that eyeball belong to?"
He was astonished.
A single eyeball had made him feel hopelessly outmatched.
How powerful must that creature have been when it was whole?
With that thought, he brought over the Artifact Spirits of the Green Wood Sword, Azure Origin Armor, and Soul Honoring Banner to judge it.
All three looked up at the eyeball, their expressions grave.
"Very strong."
The Sword Spirit gave his assessment slowly.
"The owner of that eyeball was probably no weaker than Azure Wood at full strength."
"Fortunately, it's dead. Otherwise, you'd be in serious trouble today."
The Soul Honoring Banner's Artifact Spirit spoke next, saying he had sensed an aura of death.
That aura was everywhere, filling heaven and earth.
It came from the eyeball.
As the spirit of a soul-path treasure, he was especially sensitive to such an aura. He could confirm that the creature was thoroughly dead and posed no threat to Li Chang'an.
Li Chang'an's eyes had hurt simply because he was too weak to withstand the lingering pressure it had left behind.
"I can't even withstand the pressure it left after death. It really must have been a Tier 5 creature."
He accepted the fact without complaint.
