Chapter 687: Fusing with the Eye of the Firmament

The turmoil in the Saint-Ending Cloud Sea had ended. Below the Cloud Sea, Ye Wushuang was sitting cross-legged in a mysterious space.

He had been so focused on killing the Emperor’s Domineering Blood that he hadn’t even noticed he was in this mysterious space. By the time he realized it, the spatial rift had already vanished.

And he was trapped!

He had tried to tear this space open with brute force, but to his disappointment, it was bound by a forbidden power.

This forbidden power was incredibly strong. To break free, he would need an even greater force, one he currently did not possess!

Therefore, Ye Wushuang stopped trying and decided to use this opportunity to cultivate instead. Within the Absolute Space, time flowed ten times faster, which was more than enough for him to raise his strength by a level.

He believed that with a little more improvement, he would be able to break out!

With that, he entered the Chaos Dragon Tomb. Inside was the recently suppressed Eye of the Firmament—an eye of Heaven itself!

Within the Chaos Dragon Tomb, it was bound by a formidable power, unable to move.

This power made it feel fear. It had always believed that Heaven was the most powerful existence, but now, its conviction was beginning to waver.

“Kid, you’re here!”

Next to the Eye of the Firmament, the Dragon Cat turned its head and chuckled mischievously.

“Insignificant ant, you overestimate yourself, daring to try and shake Heaven. You will suffer the most terrible punishment,” the will of the Eye of the Firmament roared with cold indignation as Ye Wushuang’s figure appeared.

Ye Wushuang walked forward with his hands behind his back, completely ignoring the Eye of the Firmament. He asked the Dragon Cat, “If I fuse with this thing, can I use its power?”

Although he had suppressed the Eye of the Firmament, Ye Wushuang didn’t actually want to destroy it.

After all, the Eye of the Firmament’s Light of Destruction was incredibly powerful. If he didn’t possess a heaven-defying Secret Technique like the War Dragon Dao, he might not have been able to withstand it!

Thus, the terrifying nature of the Light of Destruction was very tempting to Ye Wushuang. Seeing the Emperor’s Domineering Blood fuse with the Eye of the Firmament earlier had instantly piqued his interest.

“You want to fuse with me? How laughable! I am the Eye of Heaven. I can break all worldly laws and perceive the Path of Heaven and Earth. Besides one with the blood of Heaven, who would dare to fuse with me?”

The Eye of the Firmament stared coldly at Ye Wushuang, its gaze filled with intense disdain and contempt. ‘If he fuses with me, Ye Wushuang will definitely regret it!’

‘Break all worldly laws and perceive the Path of Heaven and Earth?’

Ye Wushuang was stunned. He hadn’t expected the Eye of the Firmament to have such wondrous powers, which only made him more eager.

He didn’t know how strong the ability to “break all worldly laws” was, but he was crystal clear about the power to “perceive the Path of Heaven and Earth.”

This was because entering the Saint Sage Secret Realm and cultivating the Path of Heaven and Earth involved integrating that very Path into one’s own body. Since the Eye of the Firmament could perceive the Great Dao, fusing with it would undoubtedly grant anyone who had entered the Saint Sage Secret Realm a heaven-defying boost, making their Cultivation much smoother!

“What a treasure!”

The Dragon Cat suddenly let out a sly laugh.

The corner of Ye Wushuang’s mouth curled up as well, and he stared at the Eye of the Firmament with a strange smile.

The smiles of the man and the cat made the Eye of the Firmament shrink back abruptly.

“If we erase its consciousness and merge it into your Tai Chi Eye and the Demon Eye you cultivated before, there’s a good chance you’ll inherit these abilities!”

The Dragon Cat cackled, baring its teeth. The sight finally made the Eye of the Firmament realize the gravity of the situation!

Although the Eye of the Firmament was called an eye of Heaven, it was not the Celestial Eye. It was merely a product of the unique Path of Heaven and Earth in the Grand Emperor Domain. It had its own consciousness and even its own Divine Techniques.

Once its consciousness was erased, it could not be reborn. Not even Taindu could save it.

“Ant, if you erase my consciousness, Heaven will absolutely awaken ahead of schedule! Heaven will not sit by and do nothing!”

The Eye of the Firmament tried to threaten him, but being suppressed, it couldn’t even activate its Light of Destruction. All it could do was make empty threats.

“Heaven’s awakening? Do you think I’m still afraid?”

Ye Wushuang sneered. A terrifying Devouring Power surged from his body, madly consuming the consciousness of the Eye of the Firmament!

“Ant, how dare you!”

The pupil of the Eye of the Firmament contracted sharply, the massive eyeball revealing its terror. “This is Devouring Power! You dare to devour my consciousness!”

Feeling the might of Ye Wushuang’s Heaven-Devouring Dragon Technique, the Eye of the Firmament was suddenly struck with fear. As its consciousness was eaten away bit by bit, it struggled frantically, causing the entire Chaos Space to tremble.

“No! I refuse to accept this! Ye Wushuang, spare me! I am willing to fuse with you, to become a part of you! I beg you, don’t erase my consciousness!”

After roaring madly, the Eye of the Firmament actually began to beg for mercy.

The Eye of the Firmament had always represented Heaven—supreme, sacred, and majestic, an existence revered by all living beings. It had never imagined that one day, a lowly ant in its eyes would dare to devour it, and that it would be powerless to resist.

“I have no need for your consciousness!”

But Ye Wushuang did not stop. The Golden Lotus Mark on his brow flared with light as beams of golden radiance shot out. Yin Yang Divine Light also enveloped the Eye of the Firmament, forming a massive vortex that swallowed it whole.

“AHH!”

The Eye of the Firmament let out a final, bloodcurdling scream as its consciousness was completely engulfed, disappearing into Ye Wushuang’s brow!

“Kid, remember to try fusing it with your Tai Chi Eye!”

the Dragon Cat immediately reminded him.

Ye Wushuang had the same idea. His Tai Chi Eye was a special Dao Map formed from the condensation of Tai Chi Power, which was generated by the alternating Yin Yang Divine Map. In addition, the Demon Eye he had cultivated from the Demon Heart Divine Desire also had the ability to see through illusions. Fusing the three would surely lead to an unexpected outcome.

With this in mind, he sat down cross-legged and began to fuse with the Eye of the Firmament!

“Sigh.”

However, just as Ye Wushuang was fully focused on fusing with the Eye of the Firmament, a sighing voice echoed through the mysterious space in the Saint-Ending Cloud Sea.

“The Eye of the Firmament is a product of the Grand Emperor Domain’s fortune. Even if its will is erased, it’s difficult to bear its power without the blessing of the Grand Emperor Domain’s Destiny.”

“Then again, this body is quite remarkable. His vital energy and blood are wildly exuberant. I can’t tell what level his powerful bloodline is, but I can sense a trace of the Ancestral Dragon Battle Blood’s aura… yet it doesn’t seem to be quite that. It’s very high-level, though; not even Ancient Battle Blood can compare. A fine vessel.”

The voice muttered to itself, continuously assessing Ye Wushuang’s body.

“Fusing the Eye of the Firmament into it might be even better. There will surely be unexpected benefits. It’s worth a try.”

The voice spoke again. In the mysterious space, a beam of incandescent light flickered out of the void and shot toward Ye Wushuang’s body.

KENG!

In that instant, nine Five-Clawed Golden Dragons emerged from Ye Wushuang’s body. This was his Protective Dragon Gang, which would automatically defend its master upon sensing danger.

“Nine Five Venerable… what a high-ranking Life Chart. An Imperial Decree and a Venerable Destiny. This person isn’t from the Grand Emperor Domain. I think I’m starting to understand. No wonder he possesses such a body. Excellent!”

The voice muttered to itself again. The beam of incandescent light was bizarre; as it neared Ye Wushuang, it suddenly vanished, strangely bypassing the Protective Dragon Gang and shooting into his brow.

It spun once around the Golden Lotus Mark, transformed into a white halo, and rapidly shrank, merging into Ye Wushuang’s mind.
