The Might of Double Pupils, Spirit Soul Realm, White Jade Azure Skin!

At the same time,

Liu Region!

"Trash..."

"You're all trash! So many of you, yet you let that Mu Family bastard get away?!"

Liu Family Hall.

Liu Qingtian glared furiously at Liu Ming, who was kneeling in the center of the hall, along with the other Liu Region experts.

"Big Brother, we were about to succeed. Zhou Ye suddenly appeared and disrupted our plan!"

Liu Ming said helplessly.

After leaving the Northern Spirit Plains, Liu Ming knew what he would face after Liu Mubai's death.

He had not led his people back to Liu Region.

Instead, he had remained hidden in Northern Spirit City, intending to capture Mu Chen and bring him back to Liu Region when he left Northern Spirit Academy, thereby soothing his elder brother's fury.

What Liu Ming had not expected was

that Mu Chen's luck was truly good. Every time he encountered danger, someone stepped forward to help him.

"Zhou Ye..."

"Mu Region is becoming more and more presumptuous. They killed my son and truly think Liu Region is made of clay?"

"Men!"

As soon as Liu Qingtian finished speaking, dozens of experts rushed in from outside the hall.

"Follow this Domain Lord to Mu Region and make that little Mu Family bastard pay with his life!"

Liu Qingtian roared.

"Big Brother, wait!"

Just as Liu Qingtian finished speaking, Liu Zong beside him spoke up to stop him.

"Big Brother, Mu Region is not weak. If we rashly head there, not only might we fail to avenge my nephew, we may even provoke Mu Feng!"

Liu Zong,

the second-in-command of Liu Region, was at the Spirit Soul Realm Middle Stage and deeply valued by Liu Qingtian.

At a time like this, only Liu Zong dared to stand up and oppose Liu Qingtian.

"Hmph, do you think I fear Mu Region?"

Liu Qingtian snorted coldly.

"According to Liu Ming, that item Xue Tu took is very likely already in Mu Feng's hands."

"Mu Feng himself is nothing to fear. What I fear is that if we push him too far, he will spread news of that item. When the Nine Regions gather, it will not be so easy for us to plot for it..."

Liu Zong said calmly.

But those words sobered Liu Qingtian considerably.

"Then what do we do? My son died just like that? How will the Nine Regions view Liu Region? How will they view me, Liu Qingtian?!"

"There is no rush. It is nearly time for us to enter the Black Nether Abyss. Once we obtain that item, a mere Mu Region can be wiped out with a flick of the hand!"

Liu Zong said in a sinister tone.

"Fine. Let Mu Region jump around for a few more days. When the time comes, this old man will have the entire Mu Region buried with my son!"

Liu Qingtian's low voice echoed through the hall...

Mu Region.

Mu Mansion Hall.

"Liu Region attacked Xiao Mu? Do they truly intend to tear all pretenses apart with us?"

Upon hearing Zhou Ye's account, Mu Feng's resolute face instantly turned grim.

"Liu Mubai is dead!"

Mu Chen sneered. "Those idiots from Liu Region insisted that I killed Liu Mubai. They are truly stupid enough."

"Good!"

"That Liu Family bastard died well!"

Upon hearing of Liu Mubai's death, Mu Feng immediately became interested. "Xiao Mu, do you know why the Liu Region people are certain that you were the one who acted?"

"Isn't it because of the Netherworld Death Seal?"

Mu Chen spread his hands.

"The Netherworld Death Seal..."

Confusion appeared on both Mu Feng and Zhou Ye's faces.

Seeing this,

Mu Chen told the two of them everything that had happened in the Northern Spirit Plains.

The two of them were deeply shaken with lingering fear after hearing it.

"You even encountered Xue Tu. He was an expert at the Spirit Wheel Realm Peak, yet he died by your hand. My son has truly grown up!"

Upon hearing that Mu Chen had killed Xue Tu, Mu Feng patted Mu Chen's shoulder with satisfaction.

"Father, I still haven't found any treasure inside the Mustard Seed Bracelet. Take a look."

Mu Chen took out the Mustard Seed Bracelet and handed it to Mu Feng.

Hearing this,

Mu Feng accepted the Mustard Seed Bracelet and took out everything inside. After studying them for a long while without finding anything unusual, he handed them to Zhou Ye beside him.

"You take a look too?"

"There is indeed nothing special about it. Perhaps Liu Region's item was not placed in the Mustard Seed Bracelet, but hidden somewhere else."

Zhou Ye concluded.

"Sigh, I thought we might uncover some Liu Region secret. What a wasted effort."

Mu Chen said somewhat disappointedly.

"You brat, you killed Xue Tu and you're still not satisfied?"

Mu Feng asked curiously, "Xiao Mu, did you truly not kill Liu Mubai?"

"It really wasn't me. Father, you don't believe me either?"

Mu Chen shook his head.

"I believe you. Father was just asking!"

Mu Feng nodded with a smile.

According to Mu Chen, Liu Mubai's death had indeed been strange. No wonder the Liu Region people had gone so mad.

Then Mu Feng recalled something and said,

"Liu Region definitely will not let this go. Do not leave Mu Region these days. Just stay home."

"Also, I invited a Spirit Array master over. Learn Spirit Arrays from him these days as well. Your mother was exceptionally skilled in this field."

Mu Feng waved his hand.

"A Spirit Array master..."

Upon hearing of this profession, anticipation flashed through Mu Chen's eyes.

The days passed one after another.

Liu Mubai's death stirred up no small storm throughout the Northern Spirit Domain.

Everyone knew that Liu Mubai was Liu Region's most valued genius. With Liu Mubai dying young, Liu Region would certainly not let the matter rest.

However,

just as everyone awaited Liu Region's next move,

the entire Liu Region was unusually calm, with none of the frenzied actions people had expected.

This calmness

was not limited to Liu Region. It seemed that the entire Northern Spirit Territory had been especially silent during this period.

Everyone could sense

that this calm would not last much longer.

A storm capable of sweeping through the entire Northern Spirit Territory was silently brewing.

Azure Domain.

Qing Luo's cultivation room.

Vast, viscous spiritual energy filled the entire room like a thin mist.

In the center of the room, Qing Luo sat cross-legged, his whole body rippling with a faint white radiance.

Qing Luo formed a seal with his hands.

As the hand seals shifted, a trace of azure light spread across the ten fingers enveloped in that fluorescent glow...

In one corner of the room lay countless withered branches and leaves of Natural Treasures.

Within Azure Manor,

Xu Mu stared at Qing Luo's secluded cultivation room, anxiety flashing through his eyes.

Ever since Qing Luo returned from Northern Spirit Academy,

nearly half a month had passed. During that time, Qing Luo had barely stepped out of his room.

Xu Mu had witnessed Qing Luo's diligence, but breaking through to the Spirit Soul Realm

already required an immense amount of time and effort. Failure during a breakthrough was also common.

Wanting to break through to the Spirit Soul Realm in such a short time was far too difficult...

Xu Mu had already made up his mind.

If Qing Luo had not emerged from seclusion within the next two days, Xu Mu would head alone to the Black Nether Abyss.

No matter what, he would not allow the opportunity the Domain Lord had arranged for the Young Master to fall into Liu Region's hands.

Buzz—

Just as Xu Mu was lost in thought,

a vast tide of spiritual energy surged from Qing Luo's room and spread throughout the entire Azure Domain.

"This is..."

"He succeeded?!"

Xu Mu stood frozen in place, his expression filled with excitement.

Inside the room,

Qing Luo slowly opened his eyes. As his Double Pupils opened and closed, strands of runes flickered and chains of Order Divine Chains moved, as though they were changing the laws of heaven and earth.

They clearly bloomed with beams of light, yet they were as deep and terrifying as demonic wells...

It was as though suns and moons were being destroyed, as though a blazing sun was born only to shatter. Those Double Pupils contained despair, yet were also filled with vitality!

A single glance was enough to make one's mind tremble violently and one's soul become unstable!

Qing Luo looked upon the room, yet he exuded the aura of one in a lofty position gazing down from above.

Wherever his gaze passed, everything in the room decayed and dissipated, as though being broken down into the most primitive nutrients!

Feeling the rune phenomena swirling within his eyes,

"So this is the Power of Double Pupils..."

Qing Luo sighed softly.

During this seclusion, he had successfully broken through the barrier and stepped into the Spirit Soul Realm.

As his strength broke through, the second-stage inheritance of the Double Pupils—Pressure—gradually revealed the unmatched might of the Double Pupils.

Pressure!

As the name implied,

upon unlocking this stage, when Qing Luo activated the Power of Double Pupils, his pupils resembled those of an Immortal King looking down from above, containing an unfathomable divine might.

At Qing Luo's current realm,

Double Pupils Pressure could severely injure those at the Spirit Movement Stage and fill Spirit Wheel Realm cultivators with fear.

Even when facing the Spirit Soul Realm, once his Double Pupils were revealed, they could affect the opponent's soul, freezing them and causing a brief lapse of awareness...

At the Spirit Soul Realm, a brief lapse of awareness was enough to change the entire battle situation between opposing sides.

And this was only because Qing Luo's strength was at the Spirit Soul Realm.

As his strength rose, the might of Double Pupils Pressure would become increasingly terrifying. With a single glance, he could destroy supreme beings, shatter galaxies, and crush millions of troops!

Besides that,

Qing Luo noticed that as his strength increased,

the Azure Sky Glazed Art had also broken through to its second stage: Azure Sky!

His hands were no longer like congealed white jade, but were instead covered in a faint azure glow.

His hands were green like mysterious jade, containing unparalleled power.

The Azure Sky Glazed Art had always been a body-refining Cultivation Method. By Qing Luo's estimation,

his current physical body was enough to rival high-level Spirit Beasts of the Spirit Soul Realm.

If he fought an opponent of the same realm,

he could suppress Spirit Soul Realm geniuses with his physical body alone!

Only upon reaching the Spirit Soul Realm did the power of the Double Pupils, Cultivation Method, and Kirin Treasure Technique truly begin to reveal their might.
