Double Pupil Descendant, Ancient Exotic Species!

The system notification echoed in Xiao Yang's mind. After a moment, he said softly, "Divine Blade Slash? Yun Leng is merely a Dou Wang, yet he rewarded me with Divine Blade Slash. Not bad at all."

The Wishful Heavenly Demon, Eight Linked Forms. Each form contained thirty-six moves, each move one hundred and eight variations; moves concealed within moves, linked together in an endless chain, for a total of thirty-one thousand one hundred and four transformations. It was a demonic saber art that exhausted every possible variation of saber techniques, reaching the very limit of human strength.

In the Douqi Continent, this "Wishful Heavenly Demon, Eight Linked Forms" could already be considered a peak Mysterious-Rank saber art.

Divine Blade Slash, however, simplified complexity into simplicity, gathering ten thousand blades into one stream. From demonhood, it entered divinity—it was the god among sabers! It could already use Saber Intent to invoke the might of heaven and earth, making it a genuine Earth-Rank Fighting Skill!

Once this Divine Blade Slash was fused with Avici Dao Three Blades, the divinity of Divine Blade Slash could subdue the demonic nature of Avici Dao Three Blades and merge the two saber arts into one. Then, even among Earth-Rank Fighting Skills, it would be far from ordinary!

"Wait!" As his gaze swept over the final few lines of the inheritance, Xiao Yang could not help cursing. "Damn! Just as expected of you, System!"

After reading those final lines, Xiao Yang suddenly discovered that his Divine Blade Slash was not merely the demonic saber move used by Ding Peng of The Full Moon Curved Saber, from Gu Long's works in his previous life.

It was actually the preliminary move of Red Dust Fleeting Slash, the ultimate art of Dugu Weiwuo, leader of the Kunlun Demon Cult, from Greetings, Lord Cult Leader, a web novel by Feng Qiyue that Xiao Yang had greatly enjoyed!

A small tower listens to spring rain through the night; the demonic saber drifts through the mortal world!

That line alone—"A small tower listens to spring rain through the night"—was enough to reveal the connection between Red Dust Fleeting Slash and Divine Blade Slash.

Simply put, Red Dust Fleeting Slash was the fantasy high-martial version of Divine Blade Slash! The system had classified it as a high-grade Earth-Rank saber art.

And the further-evolved Clouds Part, Moon Shines, Azure Sky Reflects had reached the level of Heaven-Tier Fighting skills!

Thank you, Great Elder Yun Leng. This batch of gold coins had dropped at just the right time!

While Xiao Yang immersed himself in comprehending Divine Blade Slash, he unknowingly absorbed every last drop of the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, and the Yuan Magnetic Profound Strong Overlord Body entered the beginner stage as well.

Threads of sharp Saber Intent burst from Xiao Yang's body. Before long, with a boom, the entire wooden barrel was sliced to pieces!

Xiao Yang landed on the ground, and the mist of water around him was instantly blasted away. He took another set of clothes from his Sumeru Ring and put them on before looking toward the purple cocoon of light nearby. Zi Yan was still asleep.

Reassured, Xiao Yang walked out of the cave. In the clearing outside, after swallowing a Dou Ling Pill, he began practicing Avici Dao Three Blades and Divine Blade Slash!

Before he knew it, a month had passed. All thirty-one thousand one hundred and four variations of the saber art finally fused with Avici Dao Three Blades under the enhancement of Divine Blade Slash's Saber Intent. A massive black saber radiance dozens of zhang long soared into the sky, piercing straight through the heavens!

At the same time, the entire valley suddenly trembled, and the enormous purple cocoon of light formed by Zi Yan erupted with dazzling brilliance!

As the light on the cocoon grew increasingly intense, faint cracking sounds finally rang out. Then, the tiny cracks that had covered the cocoon quietly split open, and countless brilliant purple rays shot through them toward the heavens. Fortunately, they were blocked by the spatial seal; otherwise, such a disturbance would surely have drawn much attention.

The cracks multiplied. At last, a large piece of the cocoon shell suddenly fell away. With the first piece dropping, it was as though a chain reaction had been triggered. The cocoon rapidly shattered, and a pillar of purple light shot violently into the sky, complementing the black saber radiance Xiao Yang had just unleashed, which had yet to dissipate!

The purple pillar lasted for a moment before beginning to fade. Shortly afterward, it completely vanished, and the figure within appeared directly in Xiao Yang's sight.

A faint purple glow curled around her graceful body, lending her a rather bewitching appearance.

Her long, soft purple hair cascaded down to her slender waist. The exquisite curves that had only begun to emerge already hinted at the peerless beauty she would possess as she matured.

Xiao Yang took out a set of clothes and handed them to Zi Yan. Her cheeks flushed faintly as she hurriedly accepted them and put them on.

Xiao Yang asked, "How was it? Did you succeed?"

Zi Yan nodded excitedly. "Of course! That damned Transformation Grass—its medicinal effect has finally been broken. And I've successfully advanced to a Rank 6 Dou Emperor now."

Xiao Yang looked at Zi Yan. "All right. Now it's time for you to take me to that Spirit Vein Earth Eye."

Zi Yan nodded. Broad Dou Qi wings extended from her back as she prepared to take off. Suddenly, a piercing cry rang out into the highest heavens, and an enormous silver figure in the sky swooped straight toward Xiao Yang.

A pair of sharp claws descended with the might of thunder, as though they would pierce through space itself. They moved at a speed almost beyond description.

Fortunately, Xiao Yang had the support of a mid-grade Earth-Rank Flight Dou Technique refined from Heavenly Demon Phoenix wings. Combined with his Dou Qi wings, the speed of Thunderclap Sky-Rending, and the ultimate insight of the Heavenly Demon Blood Eyes, he narrowly evaded the strike at the critical moment!

With a flap of his wings, Xiao Yang shot into the sky, rapidly widening the distance between himself and his opponent!

At that moment, accompanied by flashes of silver light and faint spatial ripples, Zi Yan arrived at Xiao Yang's side. A trace of fear still lingered on her pretty face. "Xiao Yang, be careful! It's that one! The huge silver bird I told you about before!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yang's expression changed. Not daring to be careless, he hurriedly began carefully observing his opponent.

When Xiao Yang saw the pair of strange golden eyes, he could not help crying out, "Double Pupils?! No! Not Double Pupils, but Double Pupil Eyes?!

"A descendant of the ancient divine bird, the Double Pupil Bird?!! There is actually a surviving descendant of such a primordial divine bird on the Douqi Continent?!!"

Xiao Yang was completely thrown into chaos. He finally understood what Zi Yan had meant when she spoke of that strange bird with two eyeballs. They were not two eyeballs—they were two pupils!

Born with Double Pupils—this was the unique trait of the ancient divine bird, the Double Pupil Bird!

In the era of ancient mythology, the Double Pupil Bird had once stood alongside the phoenix and the Solar Golden Crow, a divine bird qualified to contend for the title of king of all birds.

It was born with the three great attributes of lightning, fire, and earth. Its strength was unimaginably great, capable of controlling heavenly lightning and earthly fire, while its escape speed was only slightly inferior to that of the Solar Golden Crow clan. It had gradually declined only because producing descendants was too difficult.

One had to know that birds of prey such as eagles, vultures, hawks, and falcons possessed terrifying vision, more than ten times greater than that of humans!

Even ordinary eagles from Xiao Yang's previous life could spot prey on the ground from several thousand meters away.

The Double Pupil Bird was the ancestor of the eagle clan among demon beasts. Its pair of Double Pupils was said to be able to see through trillions upon trillions of spaces within the universe and void!

Where its gaze and pupil power converged, it could even distort space and shatter a star.

All illusions in the world were as good as nonexistent before these Double Pupils!

This time, Xiao Yang had encountered the most formidable enemy of his life!
