At this moment, whether it was the disciples of Beast King Palace, the royal powerhouses like the Jade Emperor, or the assembly of ancient monsters—all of them stood in stunned silence.
They remained obediently at a distance, not daring to even stand up.
Witnessing Senju Yukika so effortlessly kill the Tower Master of Wolf Fang Tower, their shock peaked, and their fear of him reached unprecedented heights.
Even the Jade Emperor, who originally intended to rely on royal authority to pressure this young man into relinquishing his claim to the Eye of God, was now silent.
He knew full well that the royal family had many strong warriors throughout the land.
But now, all such thoughts had vanished!
The Tower Master of Wolf Fang Tower, with such formidable strength, was crushed like a dog or chicken. How terrifying must Senju Yukika be?
Could such a powerful figure even exist within the entirety of the Rakshasa Kingdom?
As far as the Jade Prince was concerned, Luo Ling 37 was the strongest within the nation—even the Palace Lord of the Heavenly Palace of Freedom wasn't this strong!
Although he himself was a powerful cultivator and stronger than the Tower Master, even the Freedom Palace Lord couldn't have taken down the Tower Master in one move.
Everyone thought that Senju Yukika would immediately claim the Eye of God after that, but to their surprise, he turned around and walked away instead.
The space beneath his feet seemed to recede rapidly as his figure flashed and reappeared on the distant horizon.
There, someone had already lost his soul from fear and, activating all his chakra, began fleeing in panic!
It was none other than the Sect Master of White Light Sect—the very one who had betrayed Senju Yukika earlier.
This Sect Master had some ties with the Lord of Stone City, and though he had once clashed with Senju Yukika, that matter was thought to be resolved.
But now, the White Light Sect Master tried to exploit the power of Wolf Fang Tower to suppress Yukika!
He hadn't expected to be so utterly wrong. The Tower Master was laughably vulnerable in front of Senju Yukika…
The Sect Master now regretted everything. He wanted to beg for mercy, but he knew Yukika's personality—he would never show mercy.
So he fled without hesitation, but still failed to anticipate how Senju Yukika could close such a vast distance so quickly!
"Lord Yukika, please have mercy! I was deceived by swine oil! Please, I beg you!"
The White Light Sect Master fell to his knees, slamming his forehead to the ground until it bled.
A once-mighty sect leader reduced to a groveling slave, abandoning all dignity!
But Senju Yukika's expression didn't waver. To him, whether someone was a sect leader or a peasant—they were equal, like ants.
He slowly extended a single finger. In the air around him, invisible but powerful chakra converged at his fingertip.
At that moment, the White Light Sect Master realized he was doomed. No one could save him now.
Yukika's murderous intent surged like a tidal wave, causing his hair to rise to the heavens.
Seeing Yukika's eyes, the White Light Sect Master nearly wet himself.
"Lord Yukika, I beg you! The Mayor of Stone Town is useless to me!"
He continued to plead, but in the next moment, Yukika's fingertip pointed—and a sword-like force pierced the Sect Master's forehead. A translucent hole opened atop his skull.
His internal chakra dissipated rapidly. Within a few breaths, his lifeforce had fled his body…
Yukika stepped backward, and the world seemed to fold around him as he returned to the mountain peak.
Everyone who witnessed it was stunned speechless!
Did their eyes deceive them?
That speed—crossing such a vast distance with one step, then returning in another?
Even the Jade Emperor and the seasoned old monsters were filled with shock they could not conceal!
They had seen powerful beings before, but even in their experience, no one had moved with such horrifying speed as this young man!
Upon returning, Yukika leapt across the cliff to stand before the Eye of God.
The two massive boulders before him began to tremble subtly, sensing something.
Perhaps these stones possessed spiritual awareness, recognizing the presence of a powerful human who had come to claim the Eye.
These ancient stones had existed for untold ages, but always in symbiosis with the Eye of God, connected and interlinked.
Sensing the intent to seize the Eye, the stones resisted and slowly began merging in the center…
At that moment, it seemed they sought to conceal the divine eye completely!
But Yukika only gave a cold snort. Without any visible action, it was as if a giant invisible hand thrust itself between the stones and tore them apart!
Crack!
As the opposing forces collided, cracks spread across the ancient stones.
From within, the Eye of God surged with divine perception, bursting forth in brilliant multicolored light before shooting into the sky!
"Where do you think you're going?"
Electric light flickered in Yukika's eyes as he calmly raised one hand, fingers tightly closed.
A mighty, surging force blasted forth, and in just three breaths, it captured the fleeing Eye and drew it back.
Now, the Eye of God floated silently ten meters before Yukika—its form clearly visible.
It resembled a massive pupil, spherical in shape, with a black, ink-like substance slowly flowing at its core—like undulating water.
The entire eye exuded a sense of ancient power and deep mystery. The confined space around it pulsed with intense energy waves.
The moment Yukika laid eyes on it, he knew—this was a rare treasure.
He immediately wrapped the Eye in spiritual pressure and stored it in his spatial storage.
The instant the Eye entered, a dormant aura called Qiongqi awakened with a jolt!
"What... is this thing?"
At that moment, Qiongqi's lantern-like eyes widened, snorting heavy breaths from his nostrils as his entire body quivered violently.
Though he had seen much and once followed the ancestors of the Otsutsuki clan, the aura of the Eye still left him shocked!
Then Yukika's voice echoed through the space: "You must never move this thing."
Those simple words made it clear just how much Yukika valued the Eye of God.
Qiongqi nodded obediently and then collapsed back to the ground to sleep soundly once more.
