Chapter 407: Void Exile, Gathering of the World (I)

1:00 AM

"You have converted a high-purity Life Crystal and gained 951 attribute points."

"You have converted a high-purity Life Crystal and gained 127 attribute points..."

As the Life Crystals in Chen Chu's hand turned to powder and dissipated, the attribute points on the screen soared at an alarming rate—3000, 5000, 10,000...

By the time the large pile of Life Crystals had vanished, the attribute points had accumulated to 15,420.

Including the more than 2000 points gained in the past few days, Chen Chu had earned nearly 18,000 attribute points after defeating the colossal serpent and sweeping through that sea region.

This was his biggest harvest in recent times.

"15,000 attribute points." A smile appeared on Chen Chu's face as his gaze fell on the Double Void Pupils ability, filled with anticipation.

Although it was a high-level ability, his special eyes had not shown much strength so far, making them seem unworthy of such a high-level ability.

"Consume 10,000 attribute points to enhance Double Void Pupils."

Boom!

A vast surge of enhancement energy erupted within Chen Chu's body, flooding into his eyes. Instantly, his vision plunged into absolute darkness.

In the unknown, pitch-black void, a pair of enormous dark-golden vertical pupils slowly opened, with black flame-like rune chains burning within.

Crack! Crack!

Under the terrifying gaze of those eyes, the void—despite being pitch black—began to shatter layer by layer, like a mirror breaking apart and becoming transparent.

Unlike the Destructive True Lightning and Sky-Scorching Golden Flames of the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor, the enhancement of the Double Pupil to its top-level did not bring about world-shattering phenomena or intense energy fluctuations.

Instead, an invisible force spread out, enveloping the surroundings in darkness, silent and unnoticed, even by the nearby Dai Lin.

Two hours later, as the darkness surrounding the area receded, Chen Chu slowly opened his eyes.

In the inner layer of his black-and-white eyes, a pair of dark-golden vertical pupils appeared, cold and aloof, like a god looking down from above.

Chen Chu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the double pupil phenomenon had disappeared. With a thought, he summoned the attribute page.

Ability: Double Pupil of the Void [Top-Level: Eyes imbued with the power of the void. When the double pupil is activated, the space in its gaze stagnates, seeing through all illusions and perceiving the essence of all things.

Skills: Dark Veil. When the double pupil is activated, it consumes void energy to form a dark veil that covers a certain area. The range depends on the current cultivation level.

Skills: Spatial Shatter. Shatters the space locked by the gaze. The greater the energy consumption, the stronger the power. It works even more effectively when combined with the Dark Veil.

Skills: Void Exile. Tears open a rift in the void, banishing the enemy to the endless void.]

After being enhanced to the top level, the Double Pupil’s skills had finally undergone a transformation, becoming extremely terrifying. Two skills now touched upon spatial powers that only Ninth Heavenly Realm experts could reach.

Whoosh!

The second-floor window opened, and a dark figure shot out. With a few leaps across the surrounding rooftops, Chen Chu disappeared into the night.

Under the cover of darkness, Chen Chu moved swiftly, soon arriving several kilometers outside the city, at the valley where he had once enhanced the Eight Desolations Purgatory Halberd.

Months had passed, and the once devastated land was now covered with weeds. Standing on a boulder several meters high, the second layer of pupils appeared in Chen Chu's eyes.

Boom!

Black light surged in Chen Chu’s eyes, and in an instant, endless darkness erupted from him, transforming a 150-meter radius into an absolute dark zone.

From a distance, it looked as if a semicircular black veil had appeared on the ground.

Within the darkness, visible only to Chen Chu, a pair of enormous dark-golden vertical pupils slowly opened, and a force capable of shattering the void exploded forth.

Boom!

Within the Dark Veil, the space about ten meters in front of Chen Chu shattered like a mirror, with black rifts crisscrossing like a spider web.

In the face of these black rifts, everything was cut apart, crushed, and devoured, leaving a deep pit about ten meters wide in the ground.

It looked as if something had taken a bite out of the earth.

Soon, the rifts disappeared as the space repaired itself, and the Dark Veil that had enveloped the area faded away, revealing Chen Chu, who was covering his eyes.

"The energy consumption is pretty high."

The previous strike, which shattered space, had consumed nearly sixty percent of the void energy stored within his double pupils.

But the power was immense.

Although the area of destruction seemed to be only a little over ten meters, the fact that it was space being shattered meant that even a cultivator at the Eighth Heavenly Realm wouldn't be able to withstand it.

After all, it was a power that could crush space itself.

Only those who had reached the Ninth Heavenly Realm and possessed a domain or similar spatial energy could contend with this move, and that was only because Chen Chu was currently at the Seventh Heavenly Realm.

As his cultivation improved, this strike would become even more potent. Perhaps one day, a single glance would cause a hundred-meter radius of space to collapse.

As Chen Chu felt the double pupils slowly recovering their energy by drawing from the depths of the void, he suppressed the urge to test the Void Exile and quickly returned to sleep.

Meanwhile, deep beneath the sea, the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor sat beneath an ice platform, gazing thoughtfully at a twenty-meter-long spine.

The Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor was contemplating whether to consume attribute points to enter an epiphany state and comprehend the rune for the gigantification ability embedded in that spine.
