Undying Life

Chapter 489: The Eye of Heaven

In front of Zhong Shan, the entire Ancient Holy Capital was filled from top to bottom with an impenetrable mass of ice. Torrents of ice pressed down from the depths of the starry sky towards the Ancient Holy Capital.

Massive air currents squeezed out from the Ancient Holy Capital in all directions. Even though Zhong Shan was standing far away, he could feel the powerful winds. These gales were so fierce that they swept some weaker individuals off their feet, sending them flying into the distant sky, disappearing from view. Numerous mountains were toppled by the strong winds.

The ice, carrying an unstoppable momentum, bore down on Gushentong. This scene shocked all the onlookers. Everyone could see that the heavens were truly enraged this time. The ice, harder than diamonds, descended upon Gushentong with terrifying force. Even an emperor-level expert would be crushed instantly, not just by the physical force, but by the overwhelming momentum, an unstoppable force.

As the ice descended, the surrounding space began to wrinkle, as if it was going to crush everything, shatter all rules, and annihilate Gushentong.

"Roar!"

From Gushentong's location, a massive tiger's roar suddenly echoed, penetrating the surrounding space and harshly stimulating the eardrums of the onlookers.

"The Tiger Tribe's supreme leader?" Gu Qianyou exclaimed in surprise.

"Old Tiger actually went all out?" Emperor Xuan Xia said in astonishment.

Zhong Shan realized that the "Old Tiger" Emperor Xuan Xia referred to must be the supreme leader of the Tiger Tribe.

"What happened?" Zhong Shan asked immediately.

"He actually merged his tiger soul with Gushentong's body? This... he has backed himself into a corner. If Gushentong doesn't succeed, he will die along with him. However, if Gushentong can create a new world, he will be blessed with the fortune of the Grand Thousand Worlds, allowing him to reshape his golden body, and his power and status will soar," Emperor Xuan Xia explained, frowning.

As Zhong Shan and Emperor Xuan Xia spoke, the massive ice from the heavens crashed down on Gushentong.

Gushentong's eyes widened in a fierce glare. With a roar, he extended his fist upward and punched the sky with tremendous force.

"Boom!"

Gushentong's punch created a massive impact. The space around his fist shattered into darkness, forming a colossal black hole that swallowed everything nearby.

What a terrifying punch. During the siege of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Gushentong had never displayed such immense power. This punch was comparable to the force that shattered the immortal artifact, the Seven-Colored Buddha Pearl, by the Golden Cicada Buddha.

It was incredibly powerful. The colossal ice from the heavens paused for a moment under the force of the punch.

This was Gushentong's strength?

Countless onlookers were filled with astonishment and fear. The power was overwhelming, the dominance absolute. The heavenly ice had been halted by his punch?

"Boom!"

Another deafening sound resonated, forcing countless strong cultivators to activate their protective shields.

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

With the force of another punch, a sharp cracking sound echoed through the heavens. Everyone's eyes focused, realizing something significant had occurred.

Indeed, Zhong Shan saw a crack appear in the massive ice above. The crack ran deep within the ice but stretched from below all the way to the distant starry sky.

This crack symbolized the immense force Gushentong had exerted, and the heavens were responding. The struggle between Gushentong and the heavens reached a critical point as the giant ice pillar began to show signs of breaking. The scene was a breathtaking testament to the power and will of Gushentong.

A crack? Had Gushentong broken through the celestial ice?

As countless onlookers watched in amazement, another deep rumbling sound echoed through the air.

"Boom!"

The sound seemed to strike directly at everyone's heart, causing a collective shock.

"Crack, crack, crack!"

A series of sharp cracking sounds echoed as the previously unassailable celestial ice began to fracture internally. Countless cracks, like a spider web, spread throughout the ice, extending infinitely into the starry sky.

Such power! Was this the strength of Gushentong?

"Boom!"

The terrifying celestial ice shattered completely, exploding in all directions. The massive ice that filled the sky disintegrated entirely.

Countless fragments of ice rained down, covering the land and turning many areas into fields of shattered ice. However, much of the ice turned into mist and dispersed, leaving only a small portion to crash down, causing significant damage and toppling numerous mountains.

With the celestial ice broken, the massive black hole created by Gushentong's punch also healed, restoring the space around the Ancient Holy Capital. Despite the immense power unleashed, the Taigu Mountain remained unharmed, whether due to Gushentong's protection or its inherent resilience.

Gushentong stood proudly atop the Taigu Holy Mountain, his eyes filled with a fierce determination as he gazed at the heavens.

"Crack!"

Another earth-shattering sound echoed, and the sky above the Ancient Holy Capital was suddenly covered by endless red clouds.

The red clouds spread across the sky, vast and boundless. Not just above the Ancient Holy Capital, but across the entire world of Shenzhou, even the overseas islands, no one could see the stars, the sun, or the moon anymore.

All they could see were the red clouds, endless and vast, covering the entire sky. It felt like the end of the world, the oppressive red clouds making many mortals fall to their knees in fear, believing that the heavens were about to unleash divine punishment.

It wasn't just divine punishment; it was the wrath of the heavens.

Above the Ancient Holy Capital, the red clouds emitted countless red rays of light, creating an incredibly terrifying sight.

"The heavens have finally realized that Gushentong isn't just aiming for immortality, but intends to create a new world," Emperor Xuan Xia said.

Zhong Shan nodded, understanding that the heavens had dramatically changed. It was no longer just the Ancient Holy Capital but the entire world that was being affected.

The heavens finally realized that Gushentong didn't just want to become an immortal; he wanted to overthrow the heavens themselves.

The heavens are indifferent, treating all things as straw dogs. In the eyes of the heavens, all creatures are insignificant. Now, there was someone daring to challenge the heavens, someone who wanted to destroy them. This was intolerable.

The heavens decided not to continue the conventional test for immortality but to utterly annihilate this defiant figure.

Heaven was the supreme existence in this world, and once enraged, its fury was the most terrifying force.

Gushentong stood atop the Taigu Holy Mountain, looking up at the sky, waiting for the heavens to manifest so he could strike them down.

The red clouds above the Ancient Holy Capital became so dense that they looked like a smooth, protruding surface, almost like a convex mirror. It resembled a massive red egg, only half-visible, emerging from the endless red clouds.

Seeing this egg-like object, Zhong Shan suddenly felt a shiver deep in his soul. What was that thing?

Not just Zhong Shan, but everyone watching suddenly felt a shiver of fear. In front of this enormous egg, their bodies were nearly immobilized.

"Crack!"

A massive fissure split the giant egg, stretching from one end to the other. It looked as if it had been cleaved in half, and from the crack, a white light began to seep out.

The release of that light intensified the onlookers' fear, a fear so profound it was paralyzing. What was this thing? What lay inside it?

Gushentong gazed at the sky with a heavy heart, aware that the real challenge was about to begin.

Suddenly, the white light from the crack in the egg radiated outwards, illuminating everything around it. Some people, unable to withstand the light's oppressive aura, fell to their knees, trembling in fear.

The white light also pressed down on Zhong Shan, but his resolve was unyielding. He glared back at the heavens with fierce determination.

Then, Zhong Shan witnessed an incredibly terrifying scene.

The giant egg split open from the center, slowly parting to reveal what lay inside.

Zhong Shan, with his steadfast will and unmatched composure, could face most things with calmness. But seeing what emerged from the giant egg, he couldn't help but gasp in shock.

What did Zhong Shan see?

An eye. A bloodshot, blood-red pupil, ferocious and menacing.

From the eye's pupil, countless blood vessels spread out, filling the sclera with a murderous aura. The pupil itself was a terrifying, demonic red.

The crack in the giant egg turned out to be its eyelids, which slowly parted to reveal an enormous, horrifying eye.

Almost instantly, half of the onlookers lowered their heads, unable to muster the courage to face this eye.

It was too terrifying, the aura of this eye was overwhelmingly powerful.

"The Eye of Heaven," Emperor Xuan Xia exclaimed beside Zhong Shan.

The Eye of Heaven, was this the eye of the heavens?

Gushentong had finally drawn out the Eye of Heaven, the most terrifying existence in the universe, something only spoken of in myth and legend.

According to legend, the Eye of Heaven would only appear when an extraordinary demon emerged, delivering divine punishment. It would only manifest when heaven's fury and human resentment reached their peak.

And now, it had reappeared. An extraordinary demon had emerged, not just any demon, but one that the heavens hated most—a powerful being that dared to challenge its authority.

The Eye of Heaven, with its blood-red pupil, locked its gaze onto Gushentong the moment it appeared.

Even the peripheral vision of this eye was enough to force countless strong cultivators to bow their heads in fear. The direct gaze of the Eye of Heaven was so powerful it could almost annihilate all it saw. Yet, Gushentong did not yield. He stood tall, defiant, and unyielding, glaring back at the Eye of Heaven with an indomitable spirit.
