The Heaven-Piercing Moon Eye carried the moon's heaven-shattering power, while the World-Destroying Demon Eye bore the aura of annihilation—two wondrous eye powers clashed within this illusory space.
Surging divine sense splashed outward in all directions. At Yang Kai's left eye, the terrifying golden light was infused with divine sense, becoming nearly corporeal as it condensed into a single beam of golden radiance that violently slammed into the silver bright moon hanging in the sky.
The silver moon trembled slightly, showing signs of instability, but the next instant it settled back to normal. From its surface, silver radiance scattered downward like ten thousand weeping willows hanging straight down, rising to meet the World-Destroying golden light.
The gold and silver lights collided in the void.
Boom, boom, boom…
One violent detonation after another rang out, unceasing and relentless.
Yang Kai's body shook violently!
Though he couldn't see where Thousand Eyes was at the moment and had no idea of his condition, in a head-on collision of eye powers driven by divine sense like this, the other party surely wasn't having an easy time either.
This contest tested not only one's control over eye power, but above all the strength of one's divine sense.
In terms of eye power alone, Yang Kai's World-Destroying Demon Eye might well be inferior to Thousand Eyes' Heaven-Piercing Moon Eye. This wasn't to say the World-Destroying Demon Eye was of lesser grade—merely that Yang Kai's version had come from an inheritance rather than being something he was born with.
Thousand Eyes' Heaven-Piercing Moon Eye, on the other hand, was an innate divine ability possessed since birth, tempered over thousands of years.
How could the World-Destroying Demon Eye compare? This was an inherent disadvantage.
But Yang Kai's divine sense was absolutely superior to Thousand Eyes'. After all, for all these years the Warm Spirit Lotus had been nurturing his spiritual consciousness, and now it was in no way inferior to that of a Void King Stage Three powerhouse.
With one side waning and the other waxing, the two were deadlocked. Looking out, the gold and silver lights hung in mid-air, neither giving ground—one advanced as the other retreated, one retreated as the other advanced, cycling endlessly…
The divine sense power erupted like floodwaters bursting through a dam.
At Yang Kai's left eye, blood rolled down in torrents, dyeing half his face a brilliant golden hue. He looked both eerie and ferocious.
He suddenly realized something was wrong.
If it were a one-on-one fight between him and Thousand Eyes alone, this kind of contest would be fine—it would simply come down to who could hold out longest, and the winner would be whoever remained standing. At worst, it would end in mutual injury.
But right now he was fighting one against two. Besides Thousand Eyes, there was also the Blood Jiao.
Yang Kai certainly didn't believe the Blood Jiao would pass up such a perfect opportunity to ambush him.
At that thought, he hesitated no longer. He took a deep breath, stirred his spiritual consciousness, poured out half his divine sense power, and activated his most powerful soul secret art, roaring aloud: "Lotus Bloom!"
As his voice fell, a lotus bud suddenly materialized within his brilliantly golden left eye.
The instant it appeared, it vanished with a flicker.
High in the sky, atop the silver moon, the lotus flower appeared with eerie impossibility.
The bud was like a bottomless pit, frantically absorbing Thousand Eyes' divine sense power without limit. As the divine sense was devoured, the lotus bud slowly began to bloom.
Looking out, the silver moon seemed to have transformed into a lotus flower, the moment having arrived for it to display its most beautiful form.
An incredulous scream and roar rang out. The silver moon in the sky began to twist and distort, but no matter what it did, it couldn't shake off the lotus flower's entanglement.
In the span of just three breaths, the lotus had bloomed halfway. The silver moon's radiance that opposed the World-Destroying golden light was greatly diminished. Yang Kai's expression turned fierce as he furiously drove his spiritual consciousness, pressing the attack toward that side.
Crack!
A crisp sound rang out. The massive silver moon in mid-air shattered like a plate.
"Ahh!" Thousand Eyes' scream rang out simultaneously.
The illusory realm enveloping Yang Kai collapsed in an instant, returning him to the scene before him.
Before Yang Kai could even recover, he felt a chill run through his entire body. Every pore contracted involuntarily as an aura of death descended upon him from above.
"Kid, dodge now!" Scarlet Moon's sharp cry reached his ears.
"Dodge? Where would he dodge to?" the Blood Jiao laughed heartily. "Scarlet Moon, you blocked one of my attacks—I'd like to see if you can block a second. If you don't come out, this kid is dead for certain!"
As he spoke, a fist-sized blood-red bead, carrying world-destroying power, blasted toward Yang Kai's chest.
The blood bead contained unimaginable violent energy along with surging life force. It was none other than the very inner core the Blood Jiao had previously spat out.
He knew Yang Kai's physical body was formidable and that ordinary attacks might not be effective, so the instant Yang Kai was trapped by Thousand Eyes' Heaven-Piercing Moon Eye, he had unleashed his inner core to strike.
A demon race's inner core was even more powerful than an Artifact attack of the same level. If this hit landed, even with Yang Kai's formidable physique it would almost certainly result in severe injuries—and possibly even cost him his life.
The inner core was not large, but it hurtled straight toward Yang Kai like a massive mountain, at incomprehensible speed.
