"But once you enter my world, you must abide by my rules! What can you, at the early stage of Bone Tempering, use to resist me!"
The vertical eye narrowed slightly, and a cruel laugh filled the space.
With that, the vertical eye swiftly condensed the overflowing black light.
Then, it fiercely struck towards Ao Yuan.
Rumble!
The black light flickered, and the entire sky turned gloomy, as if it were about to collapse!
Ao Yuan's gaze flickered, sharp beams of light emerging.
"You speak the truth, but to kill me, this alone is not enough!"
Ao Yuan roared!
At the same time, he unleashed a transcendent aura!
Following this, streams of light emanated from Ao Yuan's body.
"Come out!"
Ao Yuan bellowed, his claws slashing fiercely.
Invincible waves of energy appeared out of thin air.
There was gale-force wind!
There was torrential rain!
Blazing fire!
And roaring thunder!
The weather around Ao Yuan continuously shifted, creating a sense of apocalypse.
These were innate divine abilities Ao Yuan had drawn from system rewards.
He had never used them all at once before.
Now, unleashing them all placed a huge demand on Ao Yuan's spiritual energy.
This caused Ao Yuan to quickly swallow several beast cores to restore his spiritual energy.
Ao Yuan's claws continued to move, kneading several nearby energy waves into a multicolored orb of light.
"Go!"
Ao Yuan swung his claws down, hurling the orb outwards.
Whoosh!
As the orb was thrown, its radiance intensified.
Below, the onlookers.
Their faces were all deathly pale.
Terrifying!
Both Ao Yuan and this vertical eye gave them only the feeling of terror.
They had initially thought that Ao Yuan would be cornered after the vertical eye appeared.
They never expected him to unleash such power!
At this very moment!
Rumble!
In mid-air, the two collided, the violent explosion echoing throughout the world.
A torrent of energy swept outwards from the two of them in all directions.
It made all living beings in the entire world dizzy and disoriented.
Those with weaker cultivation levels even bled from their seven orifices.
Along with the sound of the explosion, the area of the multicolored orb was suddenly assailed by fierce winds, torrential rain, fire, and lightning!
These battered the ground below.
Under these circumstances, the world that was being eroded by the black light was effectively being slowed down.
Everything seemed to perfectly illustrate a poem.
"Wild grass on the plains, withered and then flourishing each year.
The wildfire cannot burn it completely, it regrows with the spring breeze!"
Visibly, under the terrifying pressure of the black light, the life force brought forth by Ao Yuan began to expand outwards bit by bit.
The people below were dumbfounded.
They could not imagine Ao Yuan being so powerful.
He could even suppress the vertical eye!
This was completely beyond their expectations.
The vertical eye observed all of this. It narrowed slightly and roared fiercely, "In my world, I dictate the rules!"
As soon as the words fell, the black light, which had been suppressed, surged again.
Rumble!
Ultimately, under this terrifying explosion, the vertical eye's black light proved superior.
It directly devoured the dragon flame spat out by Ao Yuan, and this black light struck Ao Yuan squarely.
"Cough cough..."
Ao Yuan coughed, his body torn and bleeding, his aura plummeting.
Even the power he had unleashed was pushed back by the black light.
"Hoo hoo hoo..."
Ao Yuan gritted his teeth and quickly fed himself several more beast cores.
To restore his spiritual energy.
After his injuries healed, he panted, his eyes extremely solemn as he looked at the vertical eye.
This vertical eye was undoubtedly the strongest enemy he had ever encountered.
"What should I do."
Ao Yuan pondered in secret. From the current situation, he was no match for this vertical eye.
Even with the support of the beast cores, he might be able to last for a while longer, but not for long.
After all, the beast cores would eventually run out.
And when they were depleted, even with his healing abilities and all his innate talents, he would still not be the vertical eye's opponent.
"In my world, you are doomed to die!"
The vertical eye seemed to have sensed Ao Yuan's thoughts, and it laughed maniacally.
It had no fear of Ao Yuan defeating it, as that was simply impossible.
After speaking, the vertical eye no longer waited.
It immediately launched an attack on Ao Yuan!
Rumble!
Waves of black light surged out.
Ao Yuan had no time to think and quickly used his divine abilities to resist.
However, compared to the black light, his divine abilities, at the early stage of Bone Tempering, were utterly incomparable.
Several times, the outcome was Ao Yuan's miserable defeat.
If it weren't for the "Healing" divine ability, and if the beast cores hadn't constantly replenished his spiritual energy.
Ao Yuan would have long since perished. At this moment, to avoid excessive spiritual energy depletion.
His massive body had already reverted to its original size.
"What should I do?" Ao Yuan gritted his teeth, looking at the few remaining beast cores in his system space, his expression growing more solemn.
The beast cores were almost depleted, and once they were gone, he would certainly not be this vertical eye's match.
But during this time, Ao Yuan had used every method he could, yet he was still no match.
"Dragon cub!"
"You are strong!"
"Even in ancient times, your talent would have made you an outstanding figure!"
"Honestly, I almost don't have the heart to kill you."
The vertical eye looked down at Ao Yuan with indifferent eyes.
Its gaze was like a human looking at an ant.
This made Ao Yuan feel very resentful, yet he was helpless.
"Your Highness, the Guardian Beast of the Nation, perhaps... you should beg for mercy?" Ye Nantian, standing beside Ao Yuan, swallowed and whispered tremblingly.
He had watched Ao Yuan's battle with the vertical eye for some time now, and his heart grew increasingly fearful.
He also did not wish to see a beast as powerful as Ao Yuan perish here.
The other monsters felt the same way, clearly agreeing with Ye Nantian's words.
The vertical eye in the sky seemed to have heard Ye Nantian and the monsters' suggestion. It looked at Ao Yuan with extreme indifference and sneered lightly, "Indeed, I have some reluctance to kill him. But he dared to trespass into my world and offend me, so he must die!"
"And all of you, who dared to challenge my authority, will also die!"
"Hmph!"
Ao Yuan opened his mouth, about to retort.
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, a hidden glint appearing in his eyes.
This world was his, and that was why.
He could impose restrictions and not be affected by them himself.
If he could regain his original strength, all of this would be easily resolved.
Wouldn't it?
With this thought, Ao Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he secretly contacted the system, "System, how many evolution points do I need to level up now!"
[Ding, the host needs fifty thousand evolution points to level up.]
Ao Yuan inwardly gasped.
He had enough evolution points, now it was just a matter of whether he could break through.
