The moment his right eye opened, a terrifying aura instantly spread in all directions.
Heaven and earth suddenly fell silent. The yellow mist halted abruptly, and even the currents generated by the three great powerhouses ceased.
A sense of deep-seated danger suddenly brewed in the hearts of the three. It was a feeling of celestial might—vast, overwhelming, and indifferent to all beings!
Among them, the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect felt an inexplicable sense of suffocation, a shiver from the depths of his soul!
Staring at Zhong Shan's blue eye, the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect suddenly felt an absurd notion: he was doomed.
Yes, a sense of impending doom!
He was merely an immortal! The leader of the Purple Cloud Sect roared internally, desperately trying to expel this soul-deep panic. Ridiculous, it was just a blue eye.
Eye techniques, he had seen eye techniques before! Why did this one evoke such a reaction?
Eye techniques, both Burning Lamp and the mighty Yellow Dragon recognized it as an eye technique, but they had never felt an eye technique like this. Just one open eye? What kind of eye technique was this?
An eye technique with just one eye, yet it was incredibly terrifying. Seeing Zhong Shan's blue pupil involuntarily reminded Burning Lamp of the gaze of a sage.
Zhong Shan's blue eye bore the gaze of a sage, especially the gaze of an enraged sage.
Seeing this gaze, both Burning Lamp and Yellow Dragon felt a chill in their hearts, but their assaults on Zhong Shan became more intense and rapid! At the same time, they remained extremely vigilant!
The Sinister Eye, unleash!
With a face full of anger, Zhong Shan's right eye suddenly shot out a terrifying blue light, which swept towards the three great powerhouses like a blanket covering the sky.
"Whoooosh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"
As the blue light shot out, the northern sky suddenly turned blue.
The effect of the eye technique began!
At the moment when the three great powerhouses felt a tightening in their hearts and tried to evade, the blue light seemed too fast to dodge, and moreover, they were in mid-attack.
The urgent priority was defense, to ward off this blue light's assault.
Seeing the terrifying nature of Zhong Shan's eye technique, the three great powerhouses went into highest alert.
Before Burning Lamp appeared a green lantern, Yellow Dragon roared upwards, and the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect also fetched a shield-like magical treasure! Each defended themselves.
Yet, the blue light was extremely bizarre, seemingly unstoppable by anything, directly penetrating through and shooting into the three great powerhouses' bodies.
"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"
A thunderous explosion startled the three, making them think the power of the eye technique had struck.
However, the sound was strangely emanating from in front of Zhong Shan.
The red stream unleashed by Burning Lamp and the dragon breath expelled by Yellow Dragon had, for some unknown reason, suddenly collided with each other. Perhaps the two powerhouses were too tense, or for some other reason. Anyway, these two terrifying energies collided before reaching Zhong Shan.
The powerful collision even rebounded some energy back.
The two powerhouses' figures swayed slightly, but they exchanged curious glances.
Neither Yellow Dragon nor Burning Lamp paid much attention to the rebound but were puzzled by the blue light. What was it? Why didn't it cause any noticeable effect?
Not far away, after Zhong Shan activated his sinister eye, he seemed to suddenly fall into a moment of lethargy. The blue pupil returned to normal, and his left eye also opened.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Nothing happened? Burning Lamp, Yellow Dragon, and the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect looked at Zhong Shan with puzzled expressions.
All thunder and no lightning? The thunder was too loud, and the lightning too faint, wasn't it?
Was that it? The three exchanged bewildered glances.
Well, for an immortal, having an eye technique with such a deterrent effect was already impressive.
As the powerhouses internally comforted themselves, suddenly, the face of the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect changed drastically.
"It's coming!" Zhong Shan thought to himself as he watched the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect.
Burning Lamp and Yellow Dragon also fixed their gazes on the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect. Is the effect of the blue light coming?
At this moment, the face of the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect changed dramatically. Suddenly, cold sweat poured down his forehead, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
"How can this be? How can this happen?" the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect cried out incredulously.
This terrifying scene left Burning Lamp and Yellow Dragon stunned. What was happening to the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect?
"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"
With a thunderous explosion, brilliant lightning erupted around the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect, and suddenly, he exploded.
Burning Lamp and Yellow Dragon gaped in shock.
It wasn't the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect who exploded, but something around him suddenly did.
With a horrifying explosion, the spear and shield in the leader's hands were blasted into the sky, and he seemed to be at the very center of the explosion, with countless bolts of lightning radiating outward. The fierce lightning explosion left the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect in a miserable state, crashing to the ground.
The air was filled with endless lightning, shadows of lightning everywhere, scorching the ground as if it had been charred.
In the very center, where the lightning was most intense, the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect struggled to stand up, his face filled with horror.
"My world, why did my world self-destruct? No, Zhong Shan had only damaged parts of my world earlier, but it was still under my control. Why did it suddenly deteriorate and explode? Zhong Shan, why?" the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect shouted.
His world exploded?
Burning Lamp and Yellow Dragon were equally stunned.
At that moment, a dark shadow flashed across the sky.
"Boom!"
A large shield descended from the sky, smashing into the head of the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect, who had lost half his hair to the lightning, knocking him to the ground.
It was the shield that the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect had been holding, the same shield that had been blasted away earlier. His own shield?
This was too coincidental, wasn't it? Blasted directly overhead and then falling precisely on his head?
The leader of the Purple Cloud Sect was incredibly unlucky, wasn't he?
Under the shield, the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect struggled to rise.
"Boom!"
The spear also fell, smashing precisely onto the head of the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect once again.
The leader of the Purple Cloud Sect seemed dazed by the explosions, only reacting after being struck on the head.
Too coincidental, too eerie! How could the explosion be so precise? Landing exactly on the leader's head?
Grabbing his two treasures, the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect quickly moved away from the large pit.
At this moment, the appearance of the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect was utterly ridiculous. Most of his hair had been blasted away, his entire body charred, and his clothes nearly burnt off, making him look like a piece of blackened charcoal. He held a spear in one hand and a shield in the other.
Even more frustrating was the sudden realization that his spiritual imprint on these two treasures had been completely erased in the explosion. This meant that without refining them anew, he couldn't store them back into his body.
But that wasn't the worst of it. The spirits of the two ancient immortal artifacts had also been destroyed in the explosion, and they would need a long time to be nurtured back into artifact spirits. Without them, they were just good materials.
He could store them in his storage bracelet, right? But at that moment, he noticed three large cracks had mysteriously appeared on his carefully crafted storage bracelet, indicating it was broken as well.
The leader of the Purple Cloud Sect could only hold a treasure in each hand, standing dumbfounded in front of Zhong Shan.
It all seemed like the leader's own bad luck, but did this misfortune have anything to do with Zhong Shan?
With a hint of weakness and fear, the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect looked at Zhong Shan. Burning Lamp and Yellow Dragon also turned their gazes towards Zhong Shan.
At the same time, both felt a sudden unease within themselves.
Sima Yuan, controlling Yellow Dragon, suddenly found that the previously responsive Yellow Dragon had become sluggish, as if it were on the verge of collapsing.
No way, Sima Yuan's heart raced! If Yellow Dragon collapses, wouldn't that be a disaster for him? He hadn't even obtained his Qiankun Cauldron yet!
Burning Lamp also displayed a look of horror.
He suddenly realized his cultivation realm seemed unstable. Having just reached the level of an Ancestral Immortal, he should have been consolidating his new realm, but he hadn't had the time to stabilize it. Generally, once one achieved the status of an Ancestral Immortal, there would be no problem, but the feeling of instability now overwhelmed him.
Unstable realm? Could he fall back to the Ancient Immortal realm?
The thought terrified him. He had just begun to slightly manipulate the heavenly way, and now it might be taken away from him?
An unstable realm? Falling back to the Ancient Immortal realm? No, that couldn't happen!
Burning Lamp screamed internally, filled with fear.
Was it his own instability? No, it was Zhong Shan.
In an instant, both Burning Lamp and Sima Yuan turned their gazes to Zhong Shan. Was it the blue light from Zhong Shan?
The Sinister Eye, with its blue light, brought misfortune upon them. The three powerhouses were indeed unlucky, each showing their weaknesses at the worst possible time.
Burning Lamp felt increasingly uneasy, as did Sima Yuan. Meanwhile, the charred leader of the Purple Cloud Sect felt as if his misfortune had not yet cleared, with old ailments flaring up.
All three looked at Zhong Shan, their eyes filled with horror and resolve.
Could this really be an immortal? Was he a monster?
Could Zhong Shan be allowed to live? In that instant, the three powerhouses reached a consensus. They had to eliminate Zhong Shan now, even if it meant worsening their own injuries or further destabilizing their realms. Zhong Shan had to be destroyed completely, right now, or the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Roar!" "Ang!" "Go!"
The three powerhouses attacked simultaneously.
Yellow Dragon extended a giant claw, Burning Lamp unleashed a red stream, and the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect hurled his spear!
But as Yellow Dragon struck out, he felt a cramp in his claw, causing it to veer off course.
"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"
The three attacks collided disastrously again, nullifying each other with a loud explosion and rebounding slightly.
The leader of the Purple Cloud Sect's spear snapped into two pieces on the spot, and both Burning Lamp and Yellow Dragon staggered.
Burning Lamp was dismayed to find his realm even more unstable, while Sima Yuan saw Yellow Dragon truly on the verge of collapse, making him too afraid to move recklessly. He had to quickly absorb the distant yellow mist to strengthen his control. However, the recent explosion by the leader of the Purple Cloud Sect had driven the yellow mist too far away, making it extremely difficult and frustrating to absorb.
Burning Lamp was the most frustrated. He was about to kill Zhong Shan, but Yellow Dragon had interfered, and the rebound of the energy had destabilized his realm even further.
"Stop it, I'll kill Zhong Shan alone!" Burning Lamp cried out in despair. He couldn't afford any more disruptions, or he would truly fall back to the Ancient Immortal realm.
