Battle Shi Yi in the Void God Realm

"Shi Jue, look at this thing! It keeps following me!" Just as Shi Jue and the elders left the garden, they ran into a panicked Shi Hao.

Faint Eight Trigrams runes appeared in Shi Jue's eyes. They could pierce through the void and glimpse the true essence of things. He had always coveted the Heavenly Eye of martial arts, but he had never found a way to awaken it, so he had been studying the metaphysical texts Ye Fan sent him. Seeing Shi Yi's Double-Pupil today gave him tremendous inspiration. He could now use it in a simple fashion. It could not compare to Shi Yi's Double-Pupil at present, but its future held great promise.

The Eight Trigrams could be used to deduce profound things such as the world itself. In theory, if this pupil technique could be perfected, it could deduce the future or the past. However, he had not fully understood it yet. He had only grasped a superficial fragment, and he could study it more deeply in the future, without limiting himself to a simple pupil technique.

As for the name of this pupil technique, Shi Jue did not give it much thought and simply called it the Eye of Deriving Heaven, signifying the deduction of all things, including the workings of the Heavenly Dao.

In the air, where there had been nothing moments ago, there now stood an old man dressed in ancient clothing, with a sword embedded in his head, tightly following behind Shi Hao.

This was not a living person. It resembled a ghost somewhat, lacking the vitality, breath, and heartbeat a normal person should possess.

"A ghostlike being is demanding Shi Hao's sword."

"Fuck, it appeared again!" Upon hearing Shi Jue's description, the elders immediately turned pale, cold sweat streaming down their faces.

"It's over! Whenever this thing appears, many people are bound to die! Brat, what the hell have you done? Can't you just stay quiet for a few days? You only just arrived at Heaven Mending Pavilion!" Elder Xiong Fei said in despair.

"Uh, I just took a walk through the medicine fields, then I ran into this thing. It kept following me after that," Shi Hao said aggrievedly.

"We should look for the senior elders. We have only heard of it ourselves." Unable to decide, several elders directly led Shi Hao toward the ancient hall.

Shi Jue had no interest in following them. In any case, Shi Hao would be able to find that sword in Hundred Broken Mountain later, in less than a year or so.

With the Sacrificial Spirit's goodwill, Shi Hao was practically holding a special pass. He could go wherever he wanted.

"Void God Realm, I'm back!"

A mischievous smile curled across Shi Jue's lips as his consciousness entered the Void God Realm again after a year away. He missed those people terribly.

"Fuck, the Big Black Hand!"

No one knew who cried out first, but everyone else's expressions changed drastically. They had not expected Shi Jue to enter at this time.

"Relax, I'm just taking a stroll. Am I really that scary?" Shi Jue spread his arms, an innocent expression on his face.

Terrifying!

Many people said it in unison within their hearts, but none dared voice it. Otherwise, their heads would bloom.

For a time, the Void God Realm became much emptier. Everyone was afraid of becoming the next target for Shi Jue's record-breaking exploits.

"Whoosh!"

A jet-black divine beam shot from the left, locking onto Shi Jue. The black light seemed to have come from hell itself, filled with an aura of destruction. The air along its path twisted and warped.

"Hey, hey, hey, Shi Yi, do Double Pupil Users only know how to sneak attack?"

Shi Jue flashed aside. The black beam struck a bluestone and instantly reduced it to ash.

"If you couldn't even dodge that, then you wouldn't be worthy of fighting me." Shi Yi strode forward with the bearing of a dragon and tiger, carrying an arrogant confidence that he alone reigned supreme.

"Then let's give it a try!"

In the Blood Moving Realm, Shi Jue feared no one. His vigorous blood energy erupted skyward like a volcano. Bone Script appeared in his palm, and dozens of purple lightning bolts as thick as arms fused into a Suanni that pounced toward Shi Yi. The scattered lightning left behind a charred trail.

"Good!" A black beam shot from Shi Yi's right eye again, instantly canceling out the lightning Suanni.

Bang!

The next instant, the two charged at each other almost simultaneously, erupting with blinding light. It was as though two mountains had collided, and the resulting thunderous boom left the heads of all the spectators ringing.

With that clash, the entire Void God Realm seemed to tremble, filling countless geniuses with shock.

That pure blood energy was simply too terrifying. It was like crimson clouds of blazing flames, like vast and endless waves of blood energy. It was truly difficult to imagine that humans could achieve such a thing. Instead, it looked like two Pureblood Ferocious Beasts locked in a savage battle.

"What tremendous strength. Your accomplishments in the Blood Moving Realm surpass even mine," Shi Yi said in surprise, looking at his slightly trembling right hand.

Although this level had suppressed him to the Blood Moving Realm, his physical strength still exceeded one hundred thousand jin. Yet he had gained no advantage.

"You're not bad either!" Shi Jue's right hand trembled even more violently. After all, there was a difference in their cultivation, something even the Void God Realm could not perfectly suppress.

Though Shi Yi was arrogant, he never slackened in cultivation. His Blood Moving Realm had reached at least one hundred thousand jin, and he lacked neither resources nor Treasure Medicine and divine liquids to temper his body. He was the most terrifying opponent at this stage.

"Let's leave it at that. If we continue, you won't be my opponent," Shi Yi said calmly, believing he had already gauged Shi Jue thoroughly.

"Are you sure?"

Shi Jue's figure blurred, and he instantly appeared behind Shi Yi. This time, even Shi Yi had failed to see his path, and shock appeared on his face for the first time.

"I just don't know what methods you have. Otherwise, your head won't stay on your shoulders." Shi Jue's hand blade was already resting against Shi Yi's neck.

Shi Jue had slightly altered the Movement Secret Technique. Few techniques could match its speed. Unless there was a vast gap in cultivation, the Movement Secret Technique could barely touch upon the laws of space and achieve an effect akin to teleportation. Logically, this was something only possible after cultivating the Movement Secret Technique to great mastery, but Shi Jue had directly modified it, simplifying it somewhat.

However, its consumption was considerable. Shi Jue felt that at least one-third of his stamina had vanished.

This was the prototype of the Secret Art in his heart. In the future, he would certainly be able to create an even stronger speed Secret Art.

"Haha, go ahead. I refuse to believe you haven't expended anything." Shi Yi smiled calmly. Even with Shi Jue standing behind him, Shi Yi remained completely composed.

"That's true. There's no need for pointless conflict with you." Shi Jue thought for a moment. Fighting to the death was Shi Hao's business. Why was he getting involved?

Shi Jue directly withdrew from the Void God Realm. He had only entered this time to take a look around. Encountering Shi Yi had probably been purely accidental, or perhaps Shi Yi had heard news of him and rushed over from the Sacred Academy.

He had gotten the upper hand this time, but that might not be the case next time. The Double-Pupil was truly powerful, practically an invincible physique.

"Heh, how interesting. I thought I was invincible, yet someone like this appeared." Shi Yi smiled, his eyes brimming with fighting spirit. If their cultivation realms were closer, he truly wanted to decide who was superior.

He did not linger either. There were still many things in the Sacred Academy that he had not finished learning.

After both of them left, everyone who had witnessed this clash exploded into an uproar and began spreading the news everywhere.
