Chapter 1020: The Golden Eyes!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The t.i.tan’s self-destruction had shaken the universe!
In the middle of those majestic flames, a strange pair of golden eyes had suddenly appeared, which caused all of the Law Realm warriors to turn pale in shock!
Could a single pair of golden eyes cause countless veteran warriors to suddenly be drenched in sweat?
The people present may never be able to understand why, but everyone here would probably remember this sight for the rest of their lives!
That was a pair of evil eyes, radiating a ruthless killing intent that penetrated right down to the bones!
Wherever the eyes looked, trees would shrivel up, flowers would wither, and even the dazzling stars would go silent!
The oval eyes were as cruel as those of a snake. Around them was a kaleidoscope of light, making those golden eyes seemed like a being that was peering out of the deepest depths of h.e.l.l!
All the warriors were dumbfounded! Even the Founders were deeply shaken, their faces turning pale.
“Oh, no! This is a top-cla.s.s expert of the Inverse, the golden eyes!” Hosu called.
“Golden eyes!?” Crane asked in confusion.
“They’re the elite experts of the Inverse, the main force that pursued me and my young lord! They possess formidable power, and even at my peak, I was only able to fight with one to a draw,” said Hosu sternly, his eyes gradually turning red.
After all, Hosu was a guard of the Aurora Clan. When Xia Fei’s grandfather, Xiaogu, had died because of the pursuit of the Inverse, Hosu had been filled with much grief. Now that an enemy of the past had reappeared, Hosu was naturally bursting with killing intent!
“There’s no time! I have to forcefully close the Cosmic Gate! You must hold on! You absolutely can’t let the golden eyes get close!” Hosu yelled.
Rationality still had the upper hand. While Hosu dearly wanted to rush up and vent his hatred, he also understood that he was no match for the golden eyes. Impulse could not resolve any problem, only cool and collected thought!
The six Founders led by Xia Gucheng all nodded. They knew that sealing the Cosmic Gate was an impressive feat that would be extremely advantageous to the Law Realm. Alas, they did not know that Hosu was forcing himself to close the Cosmic Gate! It was no different from a second annihilation for him!
The Law Realm had just broken free of the shackles of the Founders, and it now had a future to look forward to, a period of explosive development! Countless Law G.o.ds would break into the Founder level, ma.s.sively increasing the strength of the Law Realm!
However, all these had one condition: a long and peaceful period to cultivate!
Unless the threat of the Inverse was removed, the Law Realm would never know peace, and it would never reach the level where it could contend against the Inverse!
Thus, Hosu had immediately made up his mind to begin sealing while the golden eyes had yet to attack!
Those golden eyes appearing did not mean that their owner had actually arrived. He was just nearby and was using his unique technique to observe the situation on the battlefield.
The golden eyes were not just strong but wise, too!
He would not move unless he was absolutely confident of his chances, so his first move was to observe and see who it was that had so severely impeded the a.s.sault of the Inverse.
The golden eyes soon spotted Hosu. It seemed to ignore all the Law Realm warriors, only staring at Hosu.
Smiling, Hosu put on a determined face and flipped his wrist over. The Stormcloud Mace floated into s.p.a.ce while Hosu spread apart his arms and took a deep breath, his energy exploding!
The golden eyes were startled, and then they were shocked. He seemed to understand what Hosu was doing.
*Whoosh~*
Those frightening eyes disappeared, as did that pressure that had subdued all the Law Realm warriors, allowing everyone to breathe again.
The Inverse had stopped attacking, the Abyss falling silent, but it was a somber silence that made one tremble in fear.
“Look!” yelled a warrior as he pointed at the center of the Abyss.
For some reason, Hosu was now standing above the Abyss. His arms were spread open and he looked as solemn as the G.o.d of creation while he chanted.
Energy began to surge out of Hosu’s body swiftly, creating a storm around him, and as this energy flew out, he rapidly aged. In the blink of an eye, his hair had all gone white!
“What is he doing?”
“I’m not sure. It’s probably some ultimate move!”
“Yeah, yeah. That’s likely. He’s a superexpert with unfathomable cultivation, far more powerful than we can comprehend!”
The Law Realm warriors believed that Hosu was using some powerful attack and began to pay attention to his strange movements.
“Eh? Why are the Founders going over, too?” another warrior called in surprise.
Everyone now realized that while Hosu was standing above the Abyss, the six Founders had formed a circle around the entrance! It was easy to see that the Founders were protecting Hosu! If the Inverse charged out of the Abyss, they would have to get through the Founders first!
Everyone was confused. Hosu was clearly the strongest, so why were the weaker Founders protecting him? Had Hosu already lost the ability to defend himself?
Xia Gucheng waved his arm, and the five Skywing Law G.o.ds flew over, standing together and waiting for the grand ancestor’s order.
“Wolfpack formation, flood!” said Xia Gucheng sternly.
“The flood formation!” Xia Ya startled, his brows creasing.
The flood formation was not a combat formation but rather a killing formation—a formation that killed both the enemy and the user!
The five Skywing Law G.o.ds were confused as to why the grand ancestor had suddenly made them a.s.sume the flood formation.
“Xia Fei isn’t here,” the strongest of them, Xia Xiang, said gravely.
Xia Fei was the lone wolf of the wolfpack formation, its wandering cavalry! Without Xia Fei, the wolfpack formation would be weaker.
The grand ancestor raised an eyebrow and firmly said, “a.s.sume the formation! We don’t need Xia Fei. In a little while, no matter who charges out, make sure that they can never go back!”
*Zing~*
The Skywing wolves went pale. Only at this point did they realize that the grand ancestor had not really cared about what sort of formation they a.s.sumed. Rather, he wanted them to use their lifetime of cultivation to seal off the Abyss!
…
Everyone had just finished a.s.suming formation when a frightening roar came from the Abyss. It was just a single voice, but it was louder and more soul-shaking than all of the Inverse army before it!
Hosu was startled, and he shot a glance at Xia Gucheng. After which, he closed his eyes and began to push his energy to the maximum!
*Whoos.h.!.+*
Energy soared at and gathered into a seal!
This was not the divine seal that Hosu had used the first time around but rather a stamp of sealing!
The round seal started off very small, but as Hosu’s energy soared, the seal grew ma.s.sive, becoming a design that was bursting with mystery.
At this moment, a human figure shot out of the Abyss, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with power even greater than Hosu’s! The golden eyes in particular could shake one’s soul down to the core!
“Begin!” Xia Gucheng called, and the five Skywing Law G.o.ds nodded and began to attack.
At this moment, the silent Ocean suddenly exploded forward!
While this chubby Founder was heavily injured, he did not move slowly at all, instantly rus.h.i.+ng up to the golden eyes!
Ocean’s strategy was to have no strategy!
As an expert, Ocean knew that he was probably the weakest of the Founders, even weaker than the five Skywing Law G.o.ds.
Thus, he had made a decision! He resolved to be the first to fight the golden eyes to the death, serving as a frontliner for the rest!
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one’s enemy, could one win a battle.
The golden eyes were completely unknown to the Founders, and no one knew what abilities this strange fellow had or how powerful he was.
Xia Gucheng had called over the five Skywing Law G.o.ds so that they could attack and see what the enemy was capable of, allowing Xia Gucheng to devise a strategy.
Ocean knew what Xia Gucheng wanted, so he attacked first!
No one was usually willing to take on such a suicidal mission, but the Law Realm warriors were fighting over it! It was both surprising but also made the others feel admiration for their resolve in the face of dire circ.u.mstances!
Ocean had not been able to become a Founder for no reason. Even though he was fat, he was still a martial artist. However, only those who had actually worked with him knew of the terrifying ability he possessed!
“Devour!”
As Ocean approached the golden eyes, he roared. His mouth opened, and it began to suck in energy!
This was Ocean’s power: Energy Devouring!
Unlike the devouring of Nirvana, Ocean did not need to get close; he could take his enemy’s energy from a distance!
Although the energy conversion was not on the same level as Nirvana, it could easily take the enemy by surprise and make them panic! This moment would be when Ocean could deal the killing blow!
*Whoos.h.!.+*
Unseen particles began to rush into Ocean’s body. The pair of golden eyes clearly had not expected Ocean’s energy to be so special. It instinctively wanted to dodge, but for some reason, it gave up on the idea and charged at Ocean!
*Plus.h.!.+*
As the experts clashed, the outcome was instantly decided!
The law power that Ocean had been so proud was unable to even scratch the golden eyes. Rather than injuring the enemy, absorbing energy had only made Ocean turn pale, and he was frozen on the spot!
At the same time, the pair of golden eyes savagely charged over, the lobe-shaped blade in its hand swinging down, cutting Ocean in two!
Yes, Ocean had managed to absorb a small part of the golden eyes’ energy, but he could have never imagined that the Law Realm did not share an energy system with the Inverse! This energy, rather than being absorbed, took his life!
The extremely pained look on Ocean’s face at that moment made it seem like he had taken some terrible poison!
The Founders and the five Skywing Law G.o.ds were all stunned. No one had expected the golden eyes to be this strong!
The pair of golden eyes had sliced through Ocean as if it were cutting a cabbage!
Xia Gucheng furrowed his brows, and then he waved his right fist and called, “Attack together! We must hold this thing back!”
Through his astounding experience, Xia Gucheng had immediately understood that none of them could deal with this enemy. Therefore, everyone needed to work together! Charging in one by one was no different from suicide!
*Whoos.h.!.+*
The remaining five Founders and the five Skywing Law G.o.ds arranged themselves in a circle and charged in!
Ten versus one, fighting to the death with the golden eyes!
Seven seconds later, Crane was slain!
Twelve seconds later, Yore was severely wounded!
The Law Realm warriors were rendered speechless!
Could not even all the strongest warriors working together not stop the golden eyes?!
There were still three minutes and twenty-six seconds until Hosu’s seal would be completed!
