Nine Eyes, Ten Eyes
In the Void, the Heavenly Evil God stood suspended in mid-air.
The Ninth Evil Eye at his navel, which had been tightly closed, trembled slightly at this moment, and then slowly opened.
The Ninth Evil Eye finally reappeared in the world at this moment.
Everyone could feel the demonic power emanating from the Heavenly Evil God's body beginning to rise rapidly.
The vast demonic energy frantically condensed into a thick black liquid behind the Heavenly Evil God.
The liquid flowed down, dripping continuously—each drop of the Demon Liquid contained enough demonic energy to destroy a Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign.
A sinister smile crept across Heavenly Evil God's face.
He stretched out his palm, and the black liquid flowed around him like water, weaving nimbly between his fingers.
It would occasionally emit eerie, chilling sounds, filled with an aura of greed and destruction.
"This is probably the most powerful existence that has ever appeared since the birth of the Great Thousand World," Flame Emperor sighed softly.
Unfortunately, this unprecedentedly powerful being was not the guardian of the Great Thousand World, but the god of destruction who brought about its end.
"No matter how strong he is, we cannot allow him to step into the Great Thousand World from here," the Martial Ancestor said in a low voice.
"Then let's do it." Futu Yun suddenly appeared beside the two.
To be precise, three Futu Yun appeared here simultaneously.
Unlike in the original story where the Heavenly Evil God actively sought him out, Mu Chen only activated the Firmament Ledger on the spot.
Futu Yun directly activated the Firmament Ledger and left his surname "Fu Tu," thus becoming a true member of the list.
Moreover, this time it's different from the previous method of using a back door and requiring two clones as a trigger.
Futu Yun has now reached this point through his own efforts, and even his two clones have become listed on the leaderboard.
Therefore, the Great Thousand World suddenly had three more people on the list.
The Demon Liquid, formed from boundless demonic energy, created an enormous Demon Ring that swept outwards from the center of the Heavenly Evil God.
Five mighty torrents crashed heavily into the Demon Ring, causing the heavens and earth to tremble violently.
However, the Demon Ring revealed an extremely terrifying power of devouring.
As it swept across, the five torrents were completely shattered, transforming into a sky full of spiritual light.
At the same time, five beams of light burst forth from the sky and stopped around the Heavenly Evil God.
"Haha, all of you, back off!" The Heavenly Evil God roared, and an indescribable surge of demonic power suddenly erupted.
Five deep, muffled thuds echoed, and five figures were sent flying backward in unison.
Throughout the Great Thousand World, countless beings witnessed this scene and erupted in uproar, their voices filled with fear and trembling.
No one expected that the Heavenly Evil God with nine eyes would be so powerful.
"It seems your tactic of having more men isn't working anymore."
"The three of you, having reached this point, truly deserve the title of Sovereign Prodigies,"
"If you are willing to submit to me, I can guarantee the An Ran of your relatives and friends."
However, when faced with the Heavenly Evil God's offer of recruitment, the three people in front of them simply smiled nonchalantly.
Everyone knew that the previous clashes had proven they possessed the power to contend with the Heavenly Evil God.
Although they cannot win for the time being, the Heavenly Evil God also cannot overwhelm them with absolute superiority.
The Extraterrestrial Evil Clan's desire to dominate the Great Thousand World relies primarily on the Heavenly Evil God.
Now that he is being held back by everyone, it is impossible for the other Extraterrestrial Evil Clan alone to destroy the Great Thousand World.
Therefore, both sides will only engage in the same cycle of mutual attrition as before.
While a protracted Great Thousand World would undoubtedly come at a terrible cost, it would at least buy them valuable time.
In a few decades, they may all leave their full True Name on the Firmament Ledger.
By then, let alone the three of them working together, even one of them alone would probably be able to defeat the Heavenly Evil God.
The Heavenly Evil God rubbed his eyes, then lowered them slightly. "Such methods come at too high a price; I was unwilling to use them."
"But now it seems we have no choice but to take action."
"But it doesn't matter. As long as we can conquer this Great Thousand World, we can get it back no matter the cost later."
He put his finger in his mouth and bit it hard, causing it to break.
Black blood flowed from his fingertips; he ran his fingers over his eyes and between his eyebrows in turn.
Then a line of blood was drawn downwards.
The gaze swept across the palms of the eyes, past the heart, and finally settled on the Evil Eye at the navel.
The nine Evil Eye were now connected by black blood lines, forming an extremely eerie scene.
After completing these Heavenly Evil God clasped his hands together, forming a strange hand seal.
A crazed and ferocious smile slowly crept onto his lips, "Demon Sacrifice, Nine Eyes!"
A raging Demon Flame erupted from the nine Evil Eye of the Heavenly Evil God, scorching Demon Flame and emitting an Evil Eye sound.
A piercing, painful scream also came from the mouth of the Heavenly Evil God at this moment.
The nine Evil Eye quickly burned away, eventually incinerating into nothingness, as if they had never existed.
At this moment, the Heavenly Evil God lost all his sight.
Even the places where the eyes should have been on the face were now empty, so eerie that it sent chills down one's spine.
But just as the nine Evil Eye vanished into nothingness,
Nine black lines traversed through the skin of the Heavenly Evil God, eventually converging at the center of his forehead.
The flesh there suddenly tore open, and space began to rip apart.
From between the eyebrows of the Heavenly Evil God, a malevolent eye slowly emerged, so Evil Eye that a single glance could assimilate a person into a demon.
"Ten Eyes!" The entire world fell into a deathly silence, countless gazes staring blankly at the demonic figure standing in mid-air.
At this moment, the nine eyes that originally formed within the Heavenly Evil God's body had disappeared.
Even the spot where his eyes had originally been had become nothingness.
Only a strange, indescribable Evil Eye stood upright between his brows.
That Evil Eye was indescribably dark, as if it connected to the deepest abyss of evil in the world.
A faint demonic aura slowly emanated from his body.
The entire Great Thousand World trembled slightly at that moment.
"So that's how it is. Even the Nine-Eyed State wasn't the limit for the Heavenly Evil God!"
Qin Tian and many other top experts from the Great Thousand World turned ashen-faced.
In its original Nine-Eyed State, the Heavenly Evil God required the combined power of Flame Emperor, Martial Ancestor, and King Yun to contend with.
Now that he has suddenly transformed into an even more terrifying Ten-Eyed State, how can this battle be fought?
Everyone exchanged glances, and a sense of despair and helplessness welled up within them.
"Could it be that my Great Thousand World has finally run its course?" someone couldn't help but cry out in sorrow, after five years of bitter struggle.
In the end, will it all be for nothing?
The entire Great Thousand World fell into a deathly silence.
All living beings were so terrified by the Ten-Eyed State Heavenly Evil God that they could not utter a sound; only despair rose in their hearts.
The expressions of Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor also changed completely at this moment.
Their brows furrowed, and a deep unease welled up in their eyes—this scene was also beyond their expectations.
Judging from the demonic power emanating from the Heavenly Evil God at this moment, the Heavenly Evil God is now far stronger than in his previous Nine-Eyed State.
"Sigh." Futu Yun sighed softly. If the Heavenly Evil God had a backup plan, he naturally wouldn't be unprepared either.
However, he can't use the methods that the protagonist Mu Chen used in the original novel.
He failed to condense a clone from the Dragon-Phoenix Scripture he cultivated.
In today's Great Thousand World, there are no more Primordial Dharma Body available for him to use.
Therefore, he had been reluctant to use this trump card, but now that things had come to this, there was no other way.
