The Empress of Brightness pulled with all her might, intending to sever Liu Chengfeng's head, but the next moment, her movements froze.

Because despite using her full strength, she had failed to cut through Liu Chengfeng's neck.

"You miscalculated."

Liu Chengfeng raised his right hand, the Myriad World Wristband worn upon it flowing with precious light.

This precious light was currently shielding Liu Chengfeng's entire body.

How could mortal Cold Silk compare to a heaven-defying treasure like the Myriad World Wristband? There was no way it could kill Liu Chengfeng.

The Empress of Brightness was greatly alarmed and attempted to use her movement techniques to flee.

Liu Chengfeng merely extended a finger, and a bolt of lightning shot out from the Myriad World Wristband, causing electric currents to dance wildly throughout the entire pool.

Even if the Empress of Brightness was the second-greatest expert, no matter how high her martial arts were, she could not compare to the natural power of lightning.

The Empress of Brightness let out a startled cry and was instantly shocked into unconsciousness by the electric current.

When the Empress of Brightness awoke, the first thing that met her eyes was Liu Chengfeng's calm and natural face.

The Empress of Brightness was terrified and turned to flee.

However, her entire body was numb; let alone internal energy, she couldn't even muster the strength to move, feeling like a weak woman at this moment.

She had barely crawled to the edge of the pool when she was firmly pinned down by Liu Chengfeng.

"Let go of me—"

The Empress of Brightness was shocked and horrified, screaming as she struggled, trying to escape from Liu Chengfeng's devilish grasp.

The Empress of Brightness had been wearing thin gauze, which had long since torn during her struggles, hanging off her snow-white skin and filled with infinite temptation and allure.

As the Empress of Brightness struggled, her voluptuous curves swayed, making one's blood surge.

Such beauty made Liu Chengfeng's blood boil.

"You chose not to take the path of life, but instead threw yourself into the net; you can't blame me for this."

Liu Chengfeng pressed down on the Empress of Brightness, leaving her unable to move.

"Are you here to assassinate or to seduce? If you want to seduce, I shall fulfill your wish!"

Liu Chengfeng leaned in close and said domineeringly into her ear.

With him so close, the Empress of Brightness opened her mouth and delivered a fatal blow to Liu Chengfeng!

A streak of black, cold light instantly shot toward Liu Chengfeng's throat.

As this cold light shot forth, it actually carried the sound of tearing air.

It was not only sharp, but its power was so fierce that it didn't even belong to this world of martial arts.

"Finally, I've waited for this—"

Facing such a fatal blow, Liu Chengfeng felt no terror, but instead, great joy.

The black, cold light shot over, and with a "bang," it actually pierced through Liu Chengfeng's protective light, aiming to pierce his throat.

"Damn it—"

This exceeded Liu Chengfeng's expectations, and his expression changed drastically.

In the blink of an eye between life and death, the tetrahedral Heavenly Mound in Liu Chengfeng's mind suddenly rushed out to meet the black light.

The Heavenly Mound caught the incoming black light in an instant.

However, the powerful impact still sent Liu Chengfeng flying, causing him to crash heavily and stir up layers of spray.

As the Heavenly Mound caught the black light, Liu Chengfeng saw clearly what it was: a Black Pearl that resembled an eye.

"This is it; I've found it at last."

Liu Chengfeng ignored the pain in his body, climbed up, and stored the eye-like Black Pearl into his mind.

"No—"

With the Black Pearl taken away, the Empress of Brightness instantly lost her connection to it, and her heart was filled with terror.

She had obtained this Black Pearl when she was young.

Although she didn't know what it was, it was incredibly hard and could nourish her body and enhance her internal energy.

She was only able to become the second-greatest expert of the Bright Continent because of this Black Pearl.

All this time, no one had ever been able to withstand a strike from her Black Pearl.

Under a full-force strike from her Black Pearl, even the State Preceptor, the number one expert, would surely die.

It was because she possessed this trump card that she dared to attempt to slay a god.

She never expected that instead of stealing the chicken, she would lose the rice.

"How could it be like this—"

The Empress of Brightness, who had thought she could slay a god, sat dejectedly by the pool.

"Finally obtained it. Old man, you can rest in peace now."

Liu Chengfeng had finally obtained the item he had been searching for over the past decade, and his heart was filled with great joy.

"You may go."

Having secured the Black Pearl, Liu Chengfeng was in a wonderful mood and saw no reason to bicker with the Empress of Brightness.

"Go?"

The Empress of Brightness could not help but be stunned for a moment.

She had come here with a heart prepared for death, all for the sake of slaying a god.

Liu Chengfeng looked at the snow-white, jade-like skin of the Empress of Brightness, his eyes narrowing.

"Do you intend to serve me instead?"

The heart of the Empress of Brightness trembled, and she curled her body, shrinking backward.

"You—you aren't going to destroy our Brightness Dynasty?"

It was only because Liu Chengfeng had claimed he would destroy their Brightness Dynasty that she had risked her life to attempt to slay a god.

"Why would I want to destroy your Brightness Dynasty?"

"To rule over the Bright Continent..." the Empress of Brightness stammered.

"Rule over the Bright Continent? What would I want with that? I have no interest in being a mortal emperor."

"That was merely to force you to bring this Sky Eye here."

Liu Chengfeng found it laughable.

The Empress of Brightness was dumbfounded, unable to process the situation.

She had assumed that a god descending upon the world would want to control everything and destroy their Brightness Dynasty.

From beginning to end, he had only ever wanted this single item.

"The Sky Eye..."

It was the first time the Empress of Brightness had learned the name of her own treasure.

"That is a name I gave it myself; it is one with the Heavenly Mound."

Liu Chengfeng looked at the snowy peaks of the Empress of Brightness, his gaze burning with intensity.

"Are you trying to seduce me?"

The Empress of Brightness was both shocked and ashamed; no longer caring about anything else, she turned and fled in a panic.

Liu Chengfeng had achieved his goal for this trip, so he did not hold a grudge and stood up, preparing to leave.

"Not enough power?"

Liu Chengfeng, who had intended to use the Myriad World Wristband to depart, looked at his wrist and his expression changed drastically.

The Myriad World Wristband was a heaven-defying treasure left behind by his master, infused with a vast amount of his master's life force before it was fused with his own life.

Throughout his journey, the Myriad World Wristband had already consumed a great deal of power, but it should have still been enough to take him back to the Green Meng Realm.

Unfortunately, blocking the strike from the Sky Eye had depleted too much energy, leaving Liu Chengfeng unable to return.

"Let's see if I can borrow some power."

Liu Chengfeng thought of the Dragon Vein beneath the Imperial Ancestral Temple and immediately had an idea, sitting cross-legged to look within.

Under his internal gaze, within Liu Chengfeng's mind, he saw the Sky Eye suspended above the Heavenly Mound.

It looked just like a divine eye hanging high above the God Platform.

The Sky Eye and the Heavenly Mound were perfectly integrated, and Liu Chengfeng had named them the "Celestial Body."

Liu Chengfeng had spent over a decade searching for these two items.

He had practically turned over every single small world beneath the Green Meng Realm.

Finding the Celestial Body had been his master's lifelong wish.

To find the Celestial Body, his master had traveled across the four seas and ten directions, exhausting his life and wealth, yet he had never found it.

Later, his master turned his gaze toward the lower small worlds.

However, cultivators of godhood could not linger in small worlds, which was why his master had entrusted this heavy responsibility to him.

It was a pity that before his master could wait for the Celestial Body to be found, he had exhausted too much of his lifespan and passed away.

Now that Liu Chengfeng had finally found the Sky Eye and fulfilled his master's dying wish, it was time to go home.

Within his mind, Liu Chengfeng gathered all his mental energy upon the Heavenly Mound, causing it to rotate and expand his perception.

His perception did not just cover the entire imperial palace; it extended across the whole capital city.

As his perception spread, Liu Chengfeng heard all sorts of sounds that others could not.

He heard a family of mice in a hole in the corner of a wall discussing how to move grain from the storehouse.

He heard a group of ants working in coordination, communicating on how to carry a large insect back to their nest.

He even heard the water in the moat lazily murmuring, "So boring."

He could hear all these sounds clearly through the Heavenly Mound.

These were not the sounds Liu Chengfeng wanted to hear; he was listening for the sound of the Dragon Vein beneath the imperial palace.

When he was at the Imperial Ancestral Temple, he had once heard the roar of a dragon.

Knowing there was a Dragon Vein underground, he wanted to borrow the energy of the Dragon Vein to strengthen the power of the Myriad World Wristband.

Although the power of the Dragon Vein in the Mortal World could not compare to the spiritual energy of the Spirit Veins in the Green Meng Realm, it was at least usable.

At this moment, the entire underground was silent, with no sound of a dragon's roar, which made Liu Chengfeng feel strange.

Liu Chengfeng rotated the Heavenly Mound, using it to awaken the Dragon Vein.

This was another divine ability of the Heavenly Mound; it could awaken the consciousness of a mountain or a river, allowing it to communicate with Liu Chengfeng.

The Celestial Body was so miraculous that Liu Chengfeng had heard his master say it was rumored to be an object from the heavens lost since ancient times, possessing myriad wonders.

It was precisely because it was an object from the heavens that his master had spent his entire life searching for it.

As he rotated the Heavenly Mound, his perception expanded, and finally, he heard the faint sound of a dragon's roar emanating from underground.

However, this dragon's roar sounded weak and listless.

"Strange, this isn't right."

The dragon's roar Liu Chengfeng heard was different from what he had heard at the Imperial Ancestral Temple, but he could not tell where the problem lay.

Liu Chengfeng used his mental energy to open the Sky Eye, which required a significant expenditure of mental power.

Without the Sky Eye, Liu Chengfeng could only hear sounds and communicate with them, unable to see anything.

Now, with the Sky Eye, Liu Chengfeng peered underground.

He could see a mass of energy underground, flowing like a river; this was the Dragon Vein.

This mass of energy was very thin, and the place it was flowing toward was actually the Imperial Ancestral Temple, which was highly abnormal.

This made Liu Chengfeng exclaim in wonder; the Sky Eye and the Heavenly Mound were truly one, and their wonders were boundless.

"I'm hungry."

A voice suddenly darted into Liu Chengfeng's mind.

Immediately after, the outline of a Dilapidated Temple appeared in Liu Chengfeng's mind.

This Dilapidated Temple was shrouded in mist, appearing somewhat blurry.

However, one could faintly see that the roof and walls of this Dilapidated Temple had collapsed, leaving only half of the front wall.

"I'm hungry—"

The voice of the Dilapidated Temple rang in Liu Chengfeng's mind once again.

"Who are you—"

The fact that it could actively manifest in his mind made Liu Chengfeng feel vigilant.

"And who are you?"

The Dilapidated Temple retorted, sounding curious and even somewhat excited.
