The Imperial City of Dongsheng Kingdom.
Xiang Yu stood in mid-air, holding his War Halberd, the tip of which pointed diagonally at the ground, his Sha Qi aura surging around him like a tide.
"Die!"
Xiang Yu's words were icy cold, his voice seeming to come from the ages, causing the heavens and earth to tremble slightly.
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly hurled his War Halberd!
"Buzz--!"
The War Halberd, like a black lightning bolt, ripped through the sky and headed straight for Zhu Lunbin.
The Sha Qi on the halberd condensed into a ferocious black dragon, roaring as it pounced on its target.
Zhu Lunbin's expression changed drastically. He activated his True Immortal Dharma Form with all his might, and the Runes in an attempt to block the halberd's edge.
However, the Runes were shattered into pieces the moment they came into contact with the War Halberd.
"Puff--!"
The War Halberd pierced directly through the True Immortal Dharma Form, Zhu Lunbin firmly to the ground.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with horror and resentment.
"Father! Master!"
Zhu Wuyin and Meng Hai exclaimed in unison, their voices trembling with tears.
They had never seen anyone defeat Zhu Lunbin so easily, nor had they ever witnessed such domineering War Souls power.
Zhang Qingyue's legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground.
Looking at Xiang Yu in the sky, she felt that he was a god Gods and Devils who had stepped out of mythology, inspiring awe and making her want to submit.
Xiang Yu arrived, his War Halberd pointing diagonally, and coldly said, "The fate of a traitor is certain death."
"So you really are Remnant Soul of Human Race from High Antiquity times?"
Zhu Lunbin was pinned to the ground, but suddenly burst into laughter:
"I never expected to discover you High Antiquity Remnants today. It's truly a blessing from heaven; I'm destined to perform this great service!"
From the day the Jixia Academy was founded, there has been an ironclad rule.
Anyone who discovers the Remnants of High Antiquity has performed a great service and will receive the teachings of Sage.
He raised his hand and quickly formed a hand Law Seals. A beam of white light shot out from his fingertips and soared into the sky.
"Disciple Zhu Lunbin has discovered Remnants High Antiquity demon. I humbly request Lord Zilu to appear and vanquish it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the world changed dramatically!
The once clear sky was instantly covered with dark clouds, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
Streaks of purple lightning streaked through the clouds, eventually coalescing into a gigantic eye.
Those eyes were as large as mountains, and their pupils seemed to contain endless majesty and judgment.
The giant eye slowly opened, and as it turned, everything in heaven and earth trembled under its gaze.
"The Eye of Heavenly Punishment?"
Zhang Lingyun stared at the giant eye in the sky, her face turning deathly pale. She whispered to Zhang Yu, "Run! Forget about Divine Artifact Fortune!"
"It's probably too late to run now."
The Boundless Immortal Fairy smiled bitterly, "The Eye of Heavenly Punishment sees through all things and overlooks the Three Thousand Great Provinces of the world. Where can we run to?"
"Hahaha?"
Ye Liushang laughed loudly, "I never imagined that I would live to see the legendary Eye of Heavenly Punishment!"
"The Eye of Heavenly Punishment..."
The system's voice rang in Zhang Yu's ears, carrying an unprecedented solemnity. "That brat Zilu has quite the ambition; he actually wants to merge with the Heavenly Dao and completely control the Heavenly Dao Law of this fragmented world."
"You're talking about Zilu, you wouldn't happen to be one of Confucius's disciples, would you?"
Zhang Yu hesitated before asking, the image of the Confucian sage in history who "acted upon hearing the truth" already appearing in his mind.
"That's right, he's the disciple of that Human Race traitor."
The system's voice was filled with gritted teeth and hatred:
"If they hadn't secretly instigated the conflict Human Race and the Heavenly Court, triggering the Great War Celestial Person and Man, how could those scum from another realm have ultimately benefited?"
Let me sort this out...
Zhang Yu felt a headache coming on; this network of relationships was even more tangled than the Formation Runes in the Demon Grotto, and he couldn't make sense of it no matter what he did.
"Kid, you might really be dying here today."
The system's tone became unusually serious, even tinged with regret. "Now that the Eye of Heavenly Punishment has locked onto this space, no one can escape except the Confucianism."
"No way?"
Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat, remembering the Flower Monk's words: the sky was about to fall.
"I'm dead, what about you?"
He asked, clinging to his last shred of hope.
Don't worry, I'm fine.
The system's voice reverted to its usual wicked tone:
"I have hacked into the Heavenly Dao system of this world, so it can't hurt me."
"At worst, I'll just find a different host and keep hiding."
Zhang Yu: "..."
He really wanted to curse.
He just wanted to acquire some Divine Weapon Fortune, how did he end up in such a dead end?
--
On the other side, Xiang Yu's War Souls looked up at the sky, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
He suddenly drew the sword from his waist; though the blade was damaged, it exuded Sha Qi that could change the very color of heaven and earth.
So what if it's divine punishment?
He roared, his voice like thunder, shaking the clouds. "Even if my soul is scattered to the winds today, I will still cut off one of your eyes, you traitor!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure swelled up, instantly transforming into a ten-thousand-meter-tall Dharma Body, his armor stained with blood, his longsword like a dragon, soaring straight into the sky!
The Eye of Heavenly Punishment trembled slightly, and a bolt of World-Destroying Thunder, as thick as a mountain, crashed down.
Purple lightning tore through the sky, scorching and distorting the very fabric of space it passed through!
But Xiang Yu's War Souls ignored it. He swung his sword, and the Sword Qi was like a black tide, clashing head-on with the thunder!
"Boom--!"
The lightning collided with the Sword Qi, unleashing a blinding burst of light.
But Xiang Yu's Sword Force did not diminish at all, and he forcefully cleaved a path through the lightning, continuing to charge towards the Eye of Heavenly Punishment!
Then he thrust his sword fiercely, piercing the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.
What is the origin of this Demons?
So terrifying!
Zhu Lunbin's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He never imagined that a High Antiquity War Souls could ignore the heavenly punishment lightning and go straight for the Eye of Heavenly Punishment!
Zhang Lingyun was also shocked and her face paled. She had never imagined that anyone could harm the Eye of Heavenly Punishment in the slightest!
Zhang Yu was so excited he almost jumped up. "He's so powerful! If Xiang Yu had destroyed the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, would he have survived today?"
But his relief didn't last three breaths before the Eye of Heavenly Punishment trembled violently, and an even more terrifying bolt of lightning burst forth from its depths!
"Snap--!"
A crack appeared beside the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, and an even larger and more ferocious "eye" emerged from it.
The pupils reflected a scene of annihilation, as if capable of devouring everything!
"World-Destroying Thunder--!"
The Eye of Heavenly Punishment let out a silent roar, and a bolt of lightning ten times thicker than before, like a world-destroying torrent, instantly engulfed Xiang Yu's War Souls!
"Kill..."
Xiang Yu roared with his War Souls and cleaved the thunder with his sword.
But faced with the endless roar of thunder, he was gradually forced back.
"Your Majesty, we are here to help you."
Longqie roared and led his army of War Souls upstream.
They knew that charging forward would lead to their deaths, yet they had no regrets.
Zhang Yu was somewhat moved as he watched Xiang Yu fight against the heavenly punishment.
At that moment, two streaks of light flashed, and two more Divine Weapon returned.
"This is?"
Zhang Yu looked at the two objects that flew in front of him, somewhat surprised.
One of them was either a person or a corpse.
Another red glow appeared, which turned out to be a Red String.
"The Red Thread of fate from the Yue Lao?"
The system's voice sounded somewhat surprised, then said, "No wonder the aura felt so familiar; it turns out it's Pirated Rebellious Dao Seed the Heavenly Court imitated and refined from our Human Race."
