"Galaxy, you can't do anything to me with that strength. You know close combat isn't my forte." Evil Eye's voice boomed through the endless flashes of blades. Though slightly on the back foot, he showed no fear.
"Is that so?" Luo Feng grinned.
His eyes burned like suns as he looked at Evil Eye.
A colossal Divine Eye seemed to appear in the void before Evil Eye. An invisible, terrifying Will Impact descended upon him and slammed into his will.
"Argh!" Evil Eye's mind rang, and he roared in pain.
The overwhelming impact shook his soul. For an instant, his mind went so blank he nearly forgot where he was.
Luo Feng knew he had only caught Evil Eye off guard. With Saint-level will, Evil Eye could withstand the Divine Eye Secret Technique.
Luo Feng seized that brief opening.
In an instant, a slash carrying nearly ninth-tier power struck Evil Eye. Savage blade light tore relentlessly at his divine body.
Wake up! Wake up! Evil Eye's powerful will roared. He broke free of the Will Impact, but that terrifying slash had already landed.
"You damned Galaxy!" Evil Eye roared, his fury booming like thunder.
To his horror, that single slash had cost him ten percent of his divine body. His aura weakened sharply.
Worse, Galaxy had been burning divine power all this time, yet his aura had not changed at all. Galaxy was human. How could a human's divine body be more formidable than his?!
I can't underestimate Galaxy. Evil Eye now regarded Luo Feng as an opponent on his own level. He put some distance between them and grew more cautious.
Luo Feng's surprise attack had also stunned the old hands watching from the stands.
The sudden reversal left them reeling. They had thought the human Galaxy had shown all he could do. Instead, Evil Eye had taken the first serious blow, losing a tenth of his divine body.
"Was that another Soul Attack secret technique?" Their eyes were keen. Evil Eye's momentary pause had clearly been caused by a soul technique.
"Galaxy's will must be Saint-level too. No wonder he was so confident," City Lord Jing said.
Zhan Tianxing, the Azure Nether Demon Lord, and the others began to realize Galaxy was no simple opponent. His technique for attacking the soul will was powerful too.
The outcome of this fight might truly be uncertain.
Could Saint Realm will withstand Evil Eye's fourth eye? That was hard to say.
Every gaze remained fixed on the battle.
"Don't think you can escape!" Luo Feng shouted. He unleashed the Divine Eye Secret Technique again and charged.
The huge eye appeared once more before Evil Eye, sending waves of invisible Will Impact sweeping toward him.
"Hmph. You think that'll work twice?" Evil Eye grinned viciously. This time, he seemed unaffected. His third eye glimmered with eerie black light, which spread over his entire divine body like a veil and dispersed the terrifying impact.
After driving back Luo Feng's pursuit, Evil Eye bared another vicious grin.
"Now try mine."
Evil Eye seemed to vanish. His body blurred bit by bit, while a black demonic eye opened in his chest. Its eerie glow threatened to stain heaven and earth black.
Luo Feng felt as though the world had disappeared. All he could see was that black-glowing demonic eye—Evil Eye's fourth eye.
Boom!
A silent force of the soul entered Luo Feng's body and struck his soul directly.
Despair! Fear!
Wave after wave of despair and fear rose in Luo Feng's mind.
...Luo Feng had become a True God, but the World Beasts had produced their final king. The True Gods of every race, driven to despair, hid in the Universe Ocean's forbidden regions. The Minor Universe Origins of their Miniature Universes were being devoured. One Miniature Universe vanished after another, and then the Primal Universe itself was consumed. All hope was gone...
Get out! Luo Feng's consciousness roared.
After the Star Tower weakened it, the tiny remnant of despair could not shake his will, which stood at the peak of the Saint Realm.
The Soul Illusion was powerful. Without the Star Tower protecting his soul, Luo Feng felt it might have affected him enough to delay his recovery by a fraction of an instant. But they fought at faster-than-light speeds; even that delay could prove fatal. Evil Eye had been caught by the Divine Eye Secret Technique for only an instant, and it had cost him ten percent of his divine body.
The world snapped back into focus. Luo Feng spotted Evil Eye, gave a wicked grin, and swung Blood Shadow at the exposed demonic eye.
"What? Galaxy wasn't affected?" Evil Eye cried in shock and fury.
Against someone with will at his own level, his demonic eye was impossible to withstand without a Soul-type Supreme Treasure. Even if its victim stayed conscious, it would still suffer a severe impact.
Yet the human Galaxy seemed completely unaffected. Evil Eye's expression darkened.
When he saw the blade descending, his face changed drastically.
"Galaxy, are you forcing my hand?" Evil Eye had never imagined his fourth demonic eye would fail so utterly. Panic seized him.
In skill, he surpassed Galaxy: he had created a top-tier eighth-tier secret technique. But he could not match Galaxy's Supreme Treasures. Boosted by two Mechanical Flow Supreme Treasures, Galaxy could keep him on the defensive. And whether Galaxy's will rivaled his own or he possessed a powerful Soul-type Supreme Treasure, the demonic eye could do nothing to him. Killing Galaxy might demand a terrible price.
"Forcing your hand? You'll either die here or become my slave. Do you see another outcome?" Luo Feng sent back with a wicked grin.
He decided he might not need the Lie Yuan Technique. It was his trump card, and he feared exposing it—especially if a God King happened to be watching. The odds were low, but he would not use it unless he had to.
Evil Eye plainly could not outlast him. There was no need for the Lie Yuan Technique.
With Evil Eye on the defensive and the space so confined, there was nowhere to hide.
Luo Feng could reach nearly any point in the cramped arena in an instant. He pursued Evil Eye relentlessly, giving him no chance to flee.
After losing ten percent of his divine body, Evil Eye's strength had fallen, and Luo Feng pressed him harder. Evil Eye could barely fight back. Both were burning divine power, but while Evil Eye's reserves drained rapidly, Galaxy's aura scarcely changed. Anxiety gave way to despair.
He knew Luo Feng meant to wear him down until he died. There was nothing he could do.
Eighty-eight percent...
Eighty-four percent...
Evil Eye's divine body was being consumed at a frantic pace, yet Galaxy's aura remained unchanged. Despair gripped him.
Under the domain lord challenge, either he or Galaxy had to die.
Now he had been driven to the brink.
"Very well, Galaxy. You forced me! You forced me!" Evil Eye's divine body had fallen to eighty percent. Bitterly unwilling to accept it, he laughed in fury. "Human Galaxy, I'll remember you. I've never used this move before. You should be proud to die by it!"
A trace of sorrow and grim resolve entered Evil Eye's voice.
"Hahaha! Hahaha!" Evil Eye laughed wildly. It was impossible to tell whether that laughter held pity for Luo Feng or grief for himself.
Then Evil Eye's body began to change.
The black currents swiftly drew into him, and his evil aura faded. His blood-gold body transformed in a flash into a white sphere of flesh—or rather, a pure-white eye.
The eye opened, revealing a pupil-less eyeball.
The Demon Eye Clan's forbidden secret technique: Purgatory Samsara Eye!
It could be used only once in a lifetime. Using it exhausted every trace of greed, fear, anger, and evil Evil Eye had amassed.
Those caught in Infernal Reincarnation would pass through life after life without end. Every reincarnation would be filled with boundless fear, rage, and despair.
Evil Eye had never used this move because it required all the evil thoughts he had absorbed over countless years. It would exhaust everything he had cultivated in the Soul Path and strip away his demonic eye talent. Afterward, there would be no more Evil Eye: his identity as a member of the Demon Eye Clan would be severed, all his Innate Secret Techniques would vanish, and everything he had learned from them would be lost.
The price was immense. It amounted to robbing him of his future.
But the move was immensely powerful—and extraordinarily strange. It bypassed every soul defense because, in a sense, it was not a Soul Attack but a joining of souls. Evil Eye stripped away his cultivation and talent of the soul, combined them with the evil thoughts accumulated over endless years, and forged them into a single move: the Purgatory Samsara Eye.
The Purgatory Samsara Eye was like force-feeding someone until they burst. Once the emotions poured into its victim reached their peak, they could annihilate everything.
Countless beings' lifetimes of reincarnation, laden with boundless greed, fear, and despair and mingled with immense soul-illusion power, were forced into one person's life. For someone with will at the same level, it was almost impossible to escape that fate. Trapped forever in a cycle of despair, their will would collapse completely.
Evil Eye had never used this move. To use it now proved he had fallen into true despair.
Seeing the white eye, Luo Feng realized Evil Eye had changed. But the instant he looked at it, an invisible force swept through him. Despair, greed, fear, anger, sorrow, and countless other emotions flooded his soul. His will was submerged beneath them. The world spun, and his consciousness fell completely...
Inside the Star Tower, Morosa lost consciousness.
In the Inheritance Space and the Sacred Land Universe, Luo Feng's Divine Power Clones collapsed and vanished.
His Soul Slaves in the Sacred Land Universe also fell unconscious, one after another...
