Chapter 759: The Eye of Heavenly Punishment
Nine days passed in no time, and Ye Feng was transported out as scheduled.
Not long after he appeared, the Immortal also showed up, looking rather disheveled. Seeing Ye Feng’s calm demeanor, he blinked and walked over, “It seems like you haven’t suffered much, huh?”
“I couldn’t beat him, so I tied him up and forced myself to sit there for nine days—my butt almost got infected,” Ye Feng said with a smile.
“Did you kill him three or four times?” the Immortal couldn’t help but ask.
“Six times. I really couldn’t deal with him anymore,” Ye Feng replied helplessly. “After my clone reached the level of a tenth-tier powerhouse, its speed was incredible, its defense was astonishing, and its healing ability far exceeded normal humans. If it weren’t for the existence who helped me, I don’t know how many times I would’ve been killed.”
“It seems like you only died two or three times, right?” the Immortal laughed. “Not bad.”
“What about you, Dad?” Ye Feng countered.
“Uh…” The Immortal seemed reluctant to answer. “I killed him once but died nine times—just the opposite of you… That clone’s cultivation improved too easily. After dying twice, it directly reached another realm and chased after me seven times. Fortunately, after dying seven times, although my cultivation was lower than his, my physical strength, soul strength, and recovery ability increased by millions of times—something he couldn’t easily eliminate. And I also got some help from that existence to barely cope.”
“It’s a shame we have no loot. Master Tiandao must have gotten a lot of good things, right?” Ye Feng asked quietly.
Tiandao also heard Ye Feng’s question. He turned around, shook his head, and smiled, “I only passed one challenge; I failed the second one. So, the reward was just a supreme treasure.”
“What was the second challenge?” Ye Feng asked.
“It was to fight against a powerhouse ten times stronger than me. That guy had already reached another level. I failed after less than three rounds and barely managed to escape…” Tiandao said with a bitter smile.
Ye Feng glanced toward the outer regions. Shi Hun also seemed in a poor state, clearly having suffered losses as well. He must have stopped at the second challenge, just like Tiandao.
Meanwhile, Jin Wen and Luo Yan, who were by Ye Feng’s side, appeared quite happy.
“I won two challenges by catching them off guard,” Jin Wen nodded. “The reward for the first one was the ultimate treasure, and for the second one, it was a secret technique for soul attacks—though it was consumable and was directly implanted in my mind sea. I had originally planned to learn it together with you guys, the leaders.”
“I won three challenges. The first also rewarded me with the ultimate treasure, the second was a secret technique for controlling bloodline energy, which was also consumable. The reward for the third was another chance to enter that treasure vault.” Luo Yan’s opportunities were truly enviable.
“I can’t believe you won three challenges!” Jin Wen was skeptical, as he had also participated in the third challenge but failed.
“I have that newly acquired Blood Emperor Crystal, which can be transformed into armor and weapons. The other side doesn’t have that,” Luo Yan said with a smile. “That’s why I won.”
“What else did you get from that treasure vault?” Ye Feng couldn’t help but ask.
“I originally planned to take a round to look around, since this visit was only allowed for three days,” Luo Yan nodded and continued, “But in front of a strange object, the Blood Emperor Crystal started trembling. It looked like a giant eyeball and also seemed to have a living quality. However, I didn’t take it right away. Instead, I explored the entire treasure vault and found that the Blood Emperor Crystal showed no reaction, so I returned to my original spot. Using the power of the Blood Emperor Crystal, I broke all the restrictions surrounding that object. Strangely, after those restrictions shattered, that eyeball-like thing didn’t escape but shot a strange beam of light at me. Fortunately, that beam was blocked by the Blood Emperor Crystal; otherwise, I would have been in grave danger. I saw that the aftereffects of that beam caused cracks in the surrounding restrictions.”
Hearing this, Ye Feng became immediately interested. He naturally knew how powerful the restrictions in that treasure vault were. With Luo Yan’s strength, it took him three full days of relentless effort to create a gap in those restrictions. Yet the aftereffects of that thing’s attack could cause cracks in those restrictions in an instant, meaning that just the aftereffects already surpassed the effect of Luo Yan’s full-power attacks. What would happen if it hit directly? Ye Feng found it hard to imagine.
“Did you manage to capture it?” Jin Wen asked calmly.
“I wrapped it with the Blood Emperor Crystal before putting it in my storage ring,” Luo Yan nodded.
“Did you figure out what it actually is?” Ye Feng couldn’t help but ask.
“I checked the information in the Blood Emperor Crystal and suspect that this thing might be the Eye of Divine Punishment—the clan’s sacred treasure of the Divine Eye clan,” Luo Yan expressed his speculation. “However, I’ve never seen what the real Eye of Divine Punishment looks like. Based on the reaction of the Blood Emperor Crystal, it seems only this item could cause such a significant disturbance in it, and its attack method and description are also somewhat similar. Moreover, according to the messages conveyed by the Blood Emperor Crystal, we need to find a home for this item as soon as possible—it’s been suppressed for too long.”
“You could just refine it directly, right?” Ye Feng said dismissively.
“That won’t work. This item is incompatible with the Blood Emperor Crystal. If I were to refine it, I’d have to give up the Blood Emperor Crystal,” Luo Yan shook his head.
“Then give it to Jin Wen. That way, each of you can have a sacred treasure for your clan,” Ye Feng decided immediately.
“The Eye of Divine Punishment can’t be simply refined; it must be transplanted. Over the years, only one person from the Divine Eye clan has ever succeeded in transplantation. All other strong individuals who tried it died,” Luo Yan said. “It’s said that the Eye of Divine Punishment has a very strong rejection effect. Every year, countless strong members of the Divine Eye clan try to transplant it, but almost none succeed.”
“I don’t want it. Such transplants will contaminate my bloodline to some extent,” Jin Wen immediately refused. “All Chaos Beasts must maintain 100% pure bloodlines to evolve to their strongest form. Once contaminated, they can’t reach their peak.”
“Master, then let you refine that Eye of Divine Punishment…” Luo Yan looked at Ye Feng. “I can help you with the transplantation.”
After thinking about the attack power of the item Luo Yan had mentioned earlier, Ye Feng finally nodded in agreement…
