Chapter 135: Chapter 135: The Birth of the Evil Eye

Sacred Flame said, "The Evil Eye Clan, in appearance, barely differs from your Human Clan, except for the third eye on their forehead, known as the Evil Eye. However, according to these inscriptions, they’ve suppressed just an eye. It seems that the member of the Evil Eye Clan had their form desecrated, leaving only the Corrosive Evil Eye intact, with the soul clinging to life upon it. And the Sacred Sword Fragment is also below, likely related to the Blood Pattern Tribe."

"Indeed!" Sacred Flame then affirmed, "Otherwise, with the mighty power of the Evil Eye Clan, how could the mere martial artists of this place manage to suppress them?"

Upon hearing Sacred Flame’s words, Shi Feng glanced at the Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand, recalling the blood-colored Skeleton of the Blood Pattern Tribe he had seen in the basement of the Hai Family in Moon City, wondering if it was related to the Evil Eye Clan.

However, these were nothing more than curiosities to Shi Feng, not something to dwell on. His gaze once again turned to the dark Evil-Suppressing Monument.

Now knowing that the Sacred Sword Fragment was beneath the monument, he had to obtain it at all costs, yet destroying the monument would release the Corrosive Evil Eye.

Considering the Evil Eye, suppressed for hundreds or even thousands of years by all the powerhouses within the Yunlai Empire, who knew how much power it still possessed? Were it to be released, he feared his current strength might not be enough.

"Let’s go, kid," Sacred Flame said, "Having followed you for so long, I have a grasp of your potential. With your talent, you are bound to become a person who looks down upon the world. There’s no need to risk everything for a mere Sacred Sword Fragment. You can obtain it once you grow stronger in the future. Besides, if you take the risk, you might drag me down with you."

"It seems there’s no other choice!" Shi Feng said, acknowledging that he really didn’t need to take the risk. But at that moment, Shi Feng realized he had suddenly lost the connection with Sacred Flame, as if it had silently slipped into slumber.

"What’s going on?" Shi Feng was startled. Never before had he experienced such a thing, and at that moment, a fist-sized golden light suddenly shot out from between his brows, "Darn it! It’s you again! You’re the one behind this!" Staring at the long-absent golden light, Shi Feng cursed loudly; the object was none other than the Source of All Things.

As soon as the Source of All Things appeared, it cast a thick golden beam, comparable to a bucket in size, that shot directly at the Evil-Suppressing Monument.

"Boom!" Under the golden light’s illumination, the monument crumbled violently.

What the hell! Shi Feng stared blankly at the actions of the Source of All Things.

At that moment, from beneath the collapsed monument, a dense gray mist surged like a breached dam, rocketing towards the sky. Accompanying the thick gray mist was a heart-palpitating mighty aura. "Hee-hee-hee!" A barely audible sinister laugh echoed from the dense gray fog.

"Darn you! You beast, you actually released the Evil Eye! Are you related to it?" Shi Feng yelled at the Source of All Things. Just as he thought to escape through the Dark Evil underground, suddenly, as if the Source of All Things understood his intention, a beam of golden light covered him, cutting off his connection with the Dark Evil and even trapping him within the golden light.

"Damn it all!" Shi Feng wanted to go mad, yearning to crush the Source of All Things into dust.

Meanwhile, the gray fog that shot into the sky was growing thicker and thicker, its aura becoming ever more formidable, as if heralding the birth of a Fierce Beast.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Shi Feng let out string of curses, his sword strikes aiming at the confining golden light. Yet the power of the golden light far exceeded his strength; even when he used the Nine Nether Four Extremes Seal, he could not shake it.

"Damn it, now we’re screwed!" Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the gray mist, Shi Feng felt increasingly ill at ease.

"Hee hee hee hee hee!"

"Hee hee hee hee hee!"

The sinister laughter within the gray mist grew ever clearer, but just then, a golden light from the Source of All Things shot towards the thick gray fog.

"Impudence!" Following that, a malevolent shout came from the gray mist, "Ah!" Immediately, a piercing scream resounded.

"What... what’s going on now?" Hearing the dreadful scream, Shi Feng looked at the Source of All Things, puzzled, "Isn’t that your relative?"

After the terrible screaming ceased, silence fell once more. Shi Feng saw the golden light that had been shot into the gray mist now reflect back, and at the end of the light, it carried an eyeball with a gray pupil.

"Evil Eye! So this is the Evil Eye." Staring at the gray eyeball, Shi Feng muttered to himself, feeling that the Evil Eye no longer possessed that fearful aura, and even in the gray mist, the aura that made his heart tremble had vanished. Could it be that the soul of the Evil Eye Clan bound to this Evil Eye was just extinguished by the Source of All Things?

Shi Feng had no time to ponder further; suddenly a bloody shard shot out from within the gray Evil Eye, heading straight towards him. In an instant, it entered the Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand and quickly merged with it.

"Sacred Sword Fragment!" Shi Feng eyed the Bloodthirsty Sword, recalling the bloody shard that had just merged, then immediately, a bloody light flashed on the sword, and after merging with the Sacred Sword Fragment, the Bloodthirsty Sword advanced from Third Grade to Fourth Grade Mysterious Artifact.

Before Shi Feng could rejoice, he realized that the events had yet to conclude; the golden light carrying the gray-pupiled eyeball was now hurtling towards him at high speed.

"What the hell is happening!" Shi Feng exclaimed in shock, but it was too late to dodge; the eyeball with the gray pupil shot directly into his forehead.

Suddenly, a peculiar connection formed within Shi Feng’s mind.

"Damn it, what’s happening now?" Shi Feng discovered that his physical body was once again transformed by the Source of All Things. In a moment, it was as if he had gained an additional eye. With a thought, a slit opened in the center of his forehead, revealing a vertical eye with a gray pupil.

Shi Feng closed his original eyes, and with the vertical eye, he could see everything. With another thought, the slit closed, concealing the vertical eye with the gray pupil under his skin.

After transforming Shi Feng, the Source of All Things seemed to have fulfilled its mission, the shot golden light all dissipated, then flew back into the center of Shi Feng’s eyebrows and vanished. Even when Shi Feng tried to sense its presence, the Source of All Things was undetectable.

"What just happened, what exactly did you do to me!" After the Source of All Things vanished, the familiar voice of the Sacred Flame echoed in Shi Feng’s mind once more.

"It’s hard to explain to you, let’s get out of here first." Shi Feng realized that the commotion might be too great as several Martial King Realm auras were rapidly approaching, along with one at the Martial Sect Level, probably Nalan Yuan.
