Chương 150: Chapter 149: Critical Hit! Top-Tier Divine Ability!

Top-Tier Divine Ability!

To be honest, after so many days of struggle, Su Yuxuan had come to believe that Ye Chen might not actually give her his eyes. All the considerations and tests, she thought were just tricks to deceive her! After all, it seemed unthinkable. A cultivator might, out of love, give treasures and resources to a female cultivator, but how could he possibly give away his own eyes? It simply wasn't feasible.

A cultivator's spirit sense can only roughly replace the eyes, sensing things and hearing movements, but it is far less direct than seeing with one's own eyes. It might not affect everyday life, but in combat, the lack of eyes would be a fatal flaw. Yet, despite this, Su Yuxuan still clung to that slim chance! So now, seeing those clear eyes that belonged to Ye Chen floating before her, Su Yuxuan was truly shocked. Ye Chen wasn't deceiving her.

His previous contemplation wasn't just feigning hesitation to string her along, But genuine consideration. Well... Honestly, Su Yuxuan was thrown off by Ye Chen's actions. Feeling the terrifying Divine Ability power within those eyes, and looking at Ye Chen with his eyes tightly closed, tears mixed with traces of blood at the corners of his eyes, the Ye Chen who had been perfectly fine just moments before, had now become blind. Su Yuxuan's emotions were complex.

She now understood that Ye Chen's previous hesitation was real. But his affection for her was also real. And her efforts over this period had completely moved Ye Chen, leading him to decisively give his eyes to her. Thinking this, Su Yuxuan felt immensely grateful for her past perseverance....

"Quickly go and cultivate the Extreme Dao Blood Pupils! The eyes won't stay viable for long. The array also won't hold for much longer. Hurry up!" Ye Chen, with his eyes tightly shut, spoke calmly now. Hearing this, Su Yuxuan recovered from her shock. She gathered Ye Chen's eyes using her spiritual power, feeling the terrifying force contained within them. Su Yuxuan felt that all the efforts she had made these past days had not been in vain.

Regardless of her personal feelings towards Ye Chen, she earnestly said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Ye!" Ye Chen didn't respond. But before she rose to leave, Su Yuxuan saw the corners of Ye Chen's mouth lift slightly. This made her somewhat sentimental. Despite having become blind, he still maintained such a carefree attitude. Su Yuxuan felt a newfound respect for Ye Chen! Yet, it was a pity that such a man was doomed to die... In Su Yuxuan's view, Ye Chen was certain to die.

Even with the Extreme Dao Blood Pupils, she couldn't possibly take on four enemies, especially when three of them were mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators beyond her own level. So, once the array failed, she planned to break through the encirclement directly. Because she hadn't told Ye Chen that the Extreme Dao Blood Pupils possessed a ban-breaking effect. The ones pursuing her would likely be few. And with Ye Chen now blind and surrounded, his death was inevitable. Su Yuxuan felt no regret about this.

She needed to survive. Even if many others died, she did not care. However, thinking of Ye Chen giving her his eyes, a flicker of compassion appeared in Su Yuxuan's beautiful eyes. Falling into the hands of the sinister Elder Black Soul wouldn't mean a simple death for Ye Chen. His soul would be refined into the Human Emperor Banner, tormented day and night to accumulate malevolence, doomed never to find peace. For a cultivator, this was the most despairing fate.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. Thus, Su Yuxuan made a resolution. If she managed to cultivate the Extreme Dao Blood Pupils and there was still time, she would completely give herself to Ye Chen. In the final moments, she would drain him completely. Ye Chen possessing an innate Divine Ability indicated an exceptionally robust constitution.

It would surely bring great benefits to Su Yuxuan, potentially even allowing her to break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. For Ye Chen, since he was destined to die anyway, receiving her affection before his death would fulfill his last wish. Dying afterwards would be painless, certainly better than enduring torture within the Human Emperor Banner. This could be considered her way of repaying Ye Chen! Planning to kill Ye Chen while still considering his well-being made Su Yuxuan want to laugh.

She truly was a natural fit for the demonic path! After giving Ye Chen one last deep look, Su Yuxuan found a room in the inner palace, set up several defensive spells, and began to formally cultivate the Extreme Dao Blood Pupils.... Meanwhile, Ye Chen, who was seated in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes after Su Yuxuan left. Underneath his eyelids, contrary to what Su Yuxuan believed, there was no void. Instead, eyes nearly identical to his original ones appeared in his sockets.

Only a very detailed examination would reveal slight differences in his pupils... Ye Chen's pupils were impossibly dark, as if staring into an ancient abyss, capable of absorbing souls and devouring everything. And if anyone could closely compare, they might notice a slight disparity between the pupils of his left and right eyes. In Ye Chen's mind, the system's prompts continuously echoed.

"Gift successful!"

"Gift given was the Eye of Destruction."

"Feedback in progress!"

"Fifty-fold feedback in process!"

"Detection of the host's gift as extremely significant to the recipient, surpassing expectations and causing significant emotional turmoil, has triggered a critical reward!"

"Reward: Heavy Pupils."

"Heavy Pupils: A top-tier innate Divine Ability, also known as the Immortal Pupils, with numerous mystical uses!" Heavy Pupils! Ye Chen clenched his fists, overjoyed. His gamble had paid off. The system had recognized it! As Ye Chen focused his spirit sense on his new eyes, delving into the mysteries of the Heavy Pupils, his excitement only grew. Unlike the previous Eye of Destruction, which was a secondary Divine Ability with fixed functions and no room for growth.

Its power only increasing with the cultivator's own advancement—the Heavy Pupils were different. The Heavy Pupils possessed growth potential. Currently, as Ye Chen was at the Foundation Establishment stage, the Heavy Pupils had three major functions. The first function was Overwhelming Pressure. By activating the power of the Heavy Pupils, anyone within Ye Chen's gaze would feel an overwhelming pressure. Those of lower cultivation might even be suppressed to death.

Even those of similar cultivation might not be able to exert their full strength under this pressure. The second function involved Annihilation and Resurrection. The right eye could emit a destructive divine light, obliterating anything in its path and more powerful than the previous Eye of Destruction. The left eye, meanwhile, could emit a rejuvenating divine light, capable of healing both himself and other living beings. The third function was Insight.

It could see through cultivation levels, traps, and all of an enemy's movements, easily identifying their weaknesses and defeating them with little effort. Just these three functions alone made the Heavy Pupils nearly invincible, combining attack, recovery, suppression, and deception into an all-encompassing ability. Even just the right eye's destructive divine light was stronger than the previous Eye of Destruction. And this was not the full extent of the Heavy Pupils' capabilities.

Ye Chen's current cultivation level did not support awakening all the features of the Heavy Pupils. From the information available, Ye Chen knew that as his cultivation increased, the Heavy Pupils could also create exclusive battlefields and generate absolute defensive sanctuaries. The original powers of destruction and rejuvenation would evolve into genuine dual energies of yin and yang, offering countless formidable capabilities. Even at their ultimate growth, a single glance could cause an immortal to fall!

The might of the Heavy Pupils was evident. Even Ye Chen, who had seen much of the world, was amazed. This was a true top-tier innate talent. Compared to this, the previous Eye of Destruction was hardly worth mentioning! Indeed, he had bet correctly this time! Ye Chen looked toward the room where Su Yuxuan was in seclusion. He could see the defensive spells she had set up. In the palace, there were only two people, himself now 'blind,' and yet Su Yuxuan still guarded herself so tightly against him.

Demonesses indeed can never be tamed! Ye Chen shook his head, shifting his focus away from Su Yuxuan and outwards. With the Heavy Pupils, Ye Chen could easily see through the great hall and its arrays, clearly observing everything outside. Kong Xiangli and his group had already set up their restrictions outside, sitting in meditation, waiting for the hall's array to fail. Looking at the four of them, Ye Chen felt an itching to test his new abilities.

Just like a young boy eager to play with a new toy, Ye Chen wanted to see what he could do with his newly acquired powers!
