“It’s starting! Under the demonic eye, all flaws are exposed, and its illusions are nearly impossible to counter. Ling Xiao is a technique-based fighter. Once his skills are seen through, he’s in trouble.”
“Exactly. If anyone among these young titans can counter Ling Xiao, it’s probably Mo Wushang. His demonic eye is practically cheating!”
“Sigh, I’m nervous for Ling Xiao. How will he face Mo Wushang’s terrifying demonic eye?”
On the arena, Mo Wushang’s demonic eye activated.
A piercing red light enveloped Ling Xiao’s entire body.
“As I suspected, you’re riddled with weaknesses. You only won against others because your moves are fast.”
He didn’t attack immediately, seemingly aiming to demoralize Ling Xiao with his words.
Ling Xiao smiled brightly, “All martial arts under heaven yield to speed. Being fast isn’t wrong; speed covers a hundred flaws.”
“Pity your speed means nothing before me.”
Mo Wushang sneered, “Before we begin, I have one question. Did you kill Ya Qianxue?”
“Yes!”
Ling Xiao didn’t deny it, “Those who deserve death, I never spare.”
“Then you deserve death too!”
Mo Wushang’s expression turned ferocious, his voice vicious.
“I’m afraid you lack the ability to kill me!”
Ling Xiao replied calmly.
“Others might struggle to kill you, but for me, it’s effortless! Forget your countless flaws; even one would be caught by my demonic eye!”
Mo Wushang sought to regain confidence by strategically dismissing Ling Xiao and then crushing him.
“Ahh!”
Ling Xiao yawned, “Are you going to fight or not? I don’t have time to waste talking.”
“Seeking death!”
Mo Wushang instantly entered his transformation state. His massive form made Ling Xiao seem like a tiny infant.
“Demonic Eye: Annihilation!”
The moment he transformed, Mo Wushang struck, determined to give Ling Xiao no chance. He aimed to cripple him in one blow, forcing him out of the tournament.
Even that wouldn’t sate his hatred, so he planned to find a way to kill Ling Xiao after the match.
Ling Xiao must not live.
No matter what.
Spectators saw Mo Wushang’s intent to use his full strength to quickly defeat Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao had too many tricks. If the fight dragged on, no one knew what he might pull, which would be bad for Mo Wushang.
“Hey, the match hasn’t started yet, has it?”
Ling Xiao frowned, glancing at the referee’s stand.
Normally, a referee would announce the start, but Mo Wushang had clearly attacked early.
“You haven’t lost anything. Let it be.”
The head referee spoke indifferently from the stand.
Initially, he had high hopes for Ling Xiao, but as a member of the Holy Dynasty’s royal family, he’d been swayed by the Holy Emperor. Now, he wasn’t so fond of Ling Xiao.
This was a clear rule violation; Mo Wushang could have been disqualified.
But the referee did nothing.
The other ten referees, though displeased, dared not speak, given the head referee’s authority.
“This is shameless! Attacking early, and the referee ignores it? Did Ling Xiao offend him?”
“Who knows? Ling Xiao’s in danger now.”
The attack was sudden, and the demonic eye’s strike was lightning-fast, reaching Ling Xiao’s throat in an instant.
Mo Wushang aimed for his vital point.
Bang!
Just as everyone thought Ling Xiao would be injured, a strange black light appeared, blocking the red beam. Both forces clashed and dissipated.
“Look at that!”
Sharp-eyed spectators noticed a massive, eerie eye above Ling Xiao’s head, sinister, terrifying, and radiating evil.
“You have a demonic eye? I have a ghost eye. Forgot to mention, part of it came from Ya Qianxue. After fusing with the Lantern Fish Clan’s soul lamp, it became this. It’s key to my soul techniques!”
Ling Xiao stood there, still smiling.
He knew the Heavenly King Sect was shameless, so he was prepared for Mo Wushang’s sneak attack, countering it instantly.
Due to the hasty defence, he only matched Mo Wushang’s power.
“What nonsense ghost eye? It can’t compare to my demonic eye!”
Mo Wushang refused to believe Ling Xiao’s ghost eye was superior.
“Yeah, the name isn’t great, and it doesn’t reflect the fusion of the ghost eye and soul lamp.”
On the arena, Ling Xiao ignored Mo Wushang’s ferocious expression, rubbing his chin as if pondering something.
“Oh, I’ve got a better name! Let’s call it the ‘World Eye’.”
The moment this thought formed, his Mountain River Martial Soul resonated.
Mountain River World, World Eye.
So that’s it!
He hadn’t expected to stumble upon the perfect way to unleash the Mountain River Martial Soul’s power.
The World Eye would be the eyes of the Mountain River World, its spokesperson!
As the idea matured, a red sun appeared in the Mountain River World, resembling the World Eye, overlooking the entire realm.
Ling Xiao had always felt that after reaching the Heaven-Human Realm, his Mountain River Martial Soul should gain new effects.
It hadn’t until now.
He realized the Mountain River World, beyond its initial elements, was a blank canvas, shaped by his creation.
Its development depended entirely on his vision.
Seeing Ling Xiao pause, Mo Wushang’s eyes flashed with malice. He wouldn’t show mercy.
“Demonic Eye: Indestructible Dark Flame!”
Terrifying black flames engulfed the arena, leaving Ling Xiao no escape.
“What’s wrong with Ling Xiao? Is he caught in an illusion?”
“He must be. Look, he suddenly stopped moving.”
“Sigh, we thought he’d surprise us with strength to challenge the Holy Son. Now he’s not even as good as Qin Bixue.”
“Exactly.”
“Wait, something’s off!”
“Look at the Indestructible Dark Flame—it’s avoiding him!”
A stunning scene unfolded.
As the flames neared Ling Xiao, they parted, burning the arena but unable to touch him.
