Chapter 319

At this moment, three powerful figures arrived—renowned warriors from the royal family of the Rakshasa Kingdom. These three were royal princes who had painstakingly emerged from the ancestral mountains. Now, they walked side by side across the desolate wilderness, moving at lightning speed.

Yet, shock filled their hearts. They had clearly sensed the massive energy fluctuations erupting in the distance. Just brushing against the depth of that aura sent chills through them. Considering their status as world-class powerhouses, the fact that such a mere glimpse could instill dread was unsettling. What exactly was happening up ahead?

With this question in mind, the three royal princes accelerated through the skies. But just then, a figure appeared before them—Senju Yukika—smiling coldly as he asked, "Where are you all going? Don't you want the Eye of God?"

The three princes halted immediately, their energy flickering slightly. A phantom image suddenly appeared behind the young man. It was as if he had become sixteen complete universes, infinite starfields surrounding him, exuding a deep and mysterious presence.

Despite being veteran world-level experts, they felt as though all their secrets were laid bare before this youth. They couldn't conceal a thing. It was an unfamiliar, unnerving sensation—but undeniably real.

One of the princes spoke, "Who are you, sir? If you have the qualifications to seek the Eye of God, why not take it and go?"

By now, the three princes had pieced together what had occurred across the wilderness and formed bold speculations. That's why they asked the question.

Senju Yukika smiled. "Sometimes, even minor annoyances can cause a headache. Even I have to take time to clean up those problems."

His words caused the three princes to frown, pondering their meaning. After a while, they nodded.

"Since you already possess the Eye of God," one prince said, "then it rightfully belongs to you. We won't interfere."

With that, the three princes turned to leave.

But in truth, nervousness churned in their hearts. Their chakra surged, preparing for combat at a moment's notice. They hadn't forgotten how, just recently, a group of powerful fighters had been wiped out in the wilderness. Some among them were even stronger than themselves.

In other words, despite their lofty status, they wouldn't be able to contend with this young man.

What puzzled them most, however, was why Senju Yukika let them leave so freely.

Senju Yukika stood silently as the three royal heirs disappeared from sight. He had his reasons for sparing them.

Once everything was settled, he intended to return to Stone City. There were matters to address before he could leave the Rakshasa Kingdom.

Since he would inevitably have to deal with the Rakshasa Kingdom on Stone City's territory, and they hadn't truly offended him yet, there was no harm in letting them go.

To Senju Yukika, the so-called royal family was nothing more than a group of insignificant insects. Such beings didn't even warrant his attention.

Despite the distance, the three princes felt uneasy. One of them finally spoke, "Thank goodness we realized it in time. Otherwise, we might have ended up buried in the wilderness like the others."

The other two thumped their chests in relief.

"I didn't expect such a terrifying powerhouse to be in the Rakshasa Kingdom today. We must be more cautious in the future."

They all knew that Senju Yukika possessed fearsome strength, capable of slaying an entire group of top-tier fighters. Had they not been cautious, they might have foolishly tried to take the Eye of God from him—a suicidal mistake!

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the distance, rapidly approaching.

The three princes immediately stopped and went on alert.

A man clad in a light yellow robe flew toward them. He had flowing black hair, sharp eyebrows, and piercing eyes. His expression was cold and stern.

Upon landing, he unleashed his full aura, shocking the three princes to their core.

"So you're here, my lord!"

Despite being royals from the Rakshasa Kingdom's ancestral mountains, the three princes bowed respectfully to this man in yellow.

He was not a member of the Rakshasa royal family but hailed from a powerful, ancient kingdom. Within his family, battles were fought against demigods.

While there was a gap between demigods and true gods, demigods stood above all else—second only to the few true gods who existed within the Otsutsuki Clan.

True gods were exceedingly rare, with only three known in existence. Most of the time, demigods represented the peak of power.

Because of their association with demigods, this man's family held immense global influence. No one dared provoke them.

His identity was prestigious, and even royal bloodlines had to bow their heads in his presence.

There were even rumors that his family had hidden ties to the planetary royal family, though no one knew the exact nature of those connections. Such secrets weren't accessible to ordinary people.

The man in yellow narrowed his eyes. "You found the Eye of God?"

His question made it clear that his intentions also centered on the divine artifact.

The three princes exchanged glances, hesitating.

They didn't want to offend either Senju Yukika or the man before them.

After weighing the risks, one finally replied, "The Eye of God was granted to a young man named Senju Yukika. He is currently about five hundred miles from here in the wilderness."

The man in yellow nodded slowly, a faint smile appearing on his face. "Excellent. I desire such a treasure as well."

Then he vanished like the wind.

The three princes were left standing there, their hearts filled with a growing sense of unease. They could already foresee an impending storm on the horizon...
