Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1777 - 1775: Demon Eye Blinks

In Lu Ye's opinion, since the core of Mount Fangcun split from the complete Mount Fangcun, it should bear some marks of Mount Fangcun in appearance, perhaps a meteorite, or something else. Therefore, whenever he discovers something peculiar, he investigates it thoroughly.

On this day, as he was searching all around, a voice suddenly reached his ears: "Young friend, don't go any further."

Lu Ye followed the sound and saw a figure seated cross-legged on a large meteorite, looking at him. The voice that reached his ears was undoubtedly a warning from this person.

It was an old man with white hair and beard, not using any mana, hence Lu Ye could not discern his cultivation level. But being able to penetrate to this location under the oppressive atmosphere of the marvel, he must surely be Moon Jade.

The old man sat on the meteorite, with array banners inserted all around, seemingly having arranged a big array. Despite his advanced age, his eyes were bright, leaving a profound impression on Lu Ye with just one glance.

Since entering the Illusory Blood Devil's Eye, Lu Ye had been here for about ten days, but this was the first cultivator to communicate with him. Unable to help himself, he asked, "Why?"

With a faint smile, the old man seemed enigmatic: "If you trust me, find a place to stay well, preferably setting up some formations. If not, please leave quickly to avoid any misunderstandings."

Lu Ye instantly had a suspicion: "Is the Demon Eye going to blink?"

The old man remained silent.

Yet Lu Ye became interested. Before Zhang Kun left, he had advised Lu Ye that the Illusory Blood Devil's Eye had two faces — one he had seen before, the other he hadn't.

Every time the Demon Eye blinks, the two faces would switch places. Zhang Kun had also said that during the blink, it was best to find a place to hide.

This intelligence was also recorded in the jade slip. Mount Fangcun had been monitoring the Demon Eye for years and was fairly knowledgeable about basic information on this side.

Thus, hearing the old man's words, Lu Ye formulated a guess.

Normally, cultivators within the Illusory Blood Devil's Eye could meet without disturbing each other. But if the Demon Eye blinked, they would no longer have a choice.

In this marvel, conflicts and deaths of cultivators mostly occurred during the alternate phase after the Demon Eye blinked.

However, the jade slip lacked any mention of how to discern when the Demon Eye would blink, as such matters were utterly unpredictable — sometimes happening once in ten days to half a month, sometimes in several months, or even every three to five days.

So Lu Ye was puzzled as to how the old man was able to judge this.

From the old man's posture over there, he undoubtedly had great confidence in his judgment, otherwise he wouldn't have set up a big array near himself!

"Fellow Daoist, would it be convenient for you to tell me?" Lu Ye looked at the old man, considering he might need to stay here for a while. If there was a way to anticipate when the Demon Eye might blink, his own situation would undoubtedly be safer.

The old man shook his head: "If you believe, then act; if not, then leave. I've said all I can, take care of yourself!" With that, the old man stared intently at Lu Ye, as mana began to flow gently.

Suddenly reaching the level of Moon Jade Late Stage!

This location was no longer on the outskirts of the marvel; anyone here would be significantly oppressed, yet the old man could still display mana fluctuations of Moon Jade Late Stage, showing formidable strength.

This move was undoubtedly a warning for Lu Ye to hurry up and leave, because once the Demon Eye blinks, many things would become beyond their control. He kindly reminded Lu Ye not just out of pure goodwill, but also because he didn't want Lu Ye lingering nearby, as it could pose a degree of threat to his safety.

Considering for a moment, Lu Ye cupped his fist towards the old man before moving swiftly to one side. Though he wasn't afraid of him, it was best to avoid some unnecessary conflicts.

Away from the old man, Lu Ye then found a meteorite, imitating the old man's example, setting up formations on the meteorite to both protect himself and act as a binding effect.

He decided to believe the old man's words for now, as the old man's posture seemed far from baseless.

Having settled in, Lu Ye waited peacefully.

He set himself a deadline of three days; if everything remained normal within these three days, the old man was merely being alarmist, and he could continue his actions without delay.

He didn't have to wait three days, just half a day later, when Lu Ye suddenly felt a change in his surroundings.

In such a marvel, light wasn't greatly affected, yet just a moment ago, Lu Ye felt as if the environment around him suddenly darkened.

As though staying inside a room, a lit candle extinguished for a moment.

The Demon Eye really did blink! Lu Ye was amazed, unable to understand how the old man deduced this. The Dwarf Race had been collecting information on this marvel for years, yet had no intel on this aspect.

Indeed, the world is full of capable individuals.

While inside the marvel, Lu Ye only felt the surroundings darken for a moment, but if observing from outside the marvel, one would notice the immense eye spanning the stellar space, blinking at that moment.

In an instant, the blink cast a pale red mist over the entire Illusory Blood Devil's Eye, and as time went on, the pale red gradually deepened, as though the eye was bleeding.

The name of the Illusory Blood Devil's Eye derived exactly from this!

At this moment, within the marvel, on the meteorite, Lu Ye clearly sensed something was off.

Because as that moment of darkness passed, he suddenly felt as though he was being watched by someone. That invisible gaze brought him an overwhelming pressure, even causing his psyche to tremble.

He turned to look around, but found no abnormalities. The pale red mist observable from outside, strangely left no trace inside.

The pressure on Lu Ye's psyche was increasing.

And in the depths of his mind, Lu Ye sensed a faint connection with some part of this marvel...

He turned his head to look in that direction but saw nothing, then quickly submerged his consciousness. In the next moment, within the Divine Sea, his psyche spirit body manifested.

The psyche spirit body stood upon the seven-color Divine Lotus, with seven-colored sunlight blooming beneath his feet, casting him in radiant splendor. Looking around, Lu Ye was surprised to find a gigantic eye floating above his Divine Sea!

The eye looked identical to the Illusory Blood Devil's Eye, but now it appeared in a light red hue, which was gradually darkening.

An intangible pressure emanated from the Blood Eye, corroding Lu Ye's Divine Sea and psyche spirit body. In an instant, the entire Divine Sea was in turmoil. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Fortunately, the psyche spirit body was protected by the seven-color Divine Lotus, so Lu Ye only felt some discomfort, but nothing serious.

He finally understood the kind of pressure Zhang Kun had previously endured.

When traveling with Zhang Kun, the Demon Eye he saw appeared normal, but to Zhang Kun, with those Sun Blaze eyes, it was this Blood Eye!

The power of this Blood Eye corroded the Divine Sea with seemingly hallucinogenic effects. Even with the seven-color Divine Lotus's protection, Lu Ye couldn't help but see fragmenting illusions appearing before him.

This was merely the residual power he felt within the Demon Eye; the pressure Zhang Kun faced while directly staring at the Blood Eye must have been immense.

As the Demon Eye's color deepened, the power of erosion grew stronger, and the turbulence in the Divine Sea became fiercer. Although Lu Ye felt his psyche spirit body would come to no harm under the protection of the seven-color Divine Lotus, the turbulence in the Divine Sea still impacted his mental state, making it somewhat irritable.

This was clearly the influence of the Demon Eye.

Thinking of this, he reached out his hand, and from the turbulent Divine Sea, an object emerged, grabbed by him.

It was the Soul-calming Bell!

On the way here, Lu Ye had refined this Soul Device, enabling him to invoke its power.

Lu Ye gently shook it, and immediately, a clear and melodious bell sound rang out. With the rise and fall of the sound, visible ripples spread outward, like a large hand soothing the turbulent Divine Sea, bringing much stability to its edges.

Lu Ye instantly felt much better.

This Soul-calming Bell was indeed extraordinary, undoubtedly a high-quality Soul Device.

Under the dual protection of the Soul-calming Bell and the seven-color Divine Lotus, the Divine Sea was temporarily safe. Lu Ye looked up again at the Blood Eye, intending to observe its changes firsthand, but upon gazing at it, he revealed a look of astonishment.

Because he seemed to vaguely see some mysterious markings within the Blood Eye.

Instantly calming his mind, he meticulously observed, but the more he looked, the more alarmed Lu Ye became.

Without careful inspection, those numerous mysterious markings appeared undecipherable, but upon close examination, Lu Ye discovered they were Yin-Yang Dual Origins!

This Blood Eye was the manifestation of a spirit rune!

Suddenly, Lu Ye felt enlightened and greatly excited.

Though a combat cultivator, he was also a spirit runes master. The many spirit runes on his Talent Tree had provided substantial benefits to his journey; each spirit rune played a crucial role.

But there were only so many useful spirit runes. Since inscribing the Drawn Saber Slash Spirit Runes on the Talent Tree last time, he hadn't encountered any that piqued his interest.

Yet unexpectedly, he found one here!

If he could comprehend this Blood Eye Spirit Runes, it would certainly be a gain. For now, it seemed that this Blood Eye could create illusions and affect mental states, making it a potentially powerful asset in battle.

Lu Ye immediately immersed his mind, began observing, and carefully memorized the numerous Yin-Yang Dual Origins' intertwined contours.

Driven by curiosity, he was engrossed, unable to extricate himself...

Utterly oblivious, the seven-colored sunlight beneath his feet was growing brighter and brighter.

Until one moment, the seven-color Divine Lotus suddenly vibrated slightly, followed by a burst of seven-colored sunlight shooting upwards, piercing straight through the Blood Eye floating above the Divine Sea!

Lu Ye was dumbfounded...

Because once the seven-colored sunlight dissipated, the Blood Eye vanished alongside it, the scene evidently being that the Blood Eye got dispelled by the seven-color Divine Lotus!

Lu Ye couldn't help but be amused.

The protection of the seven-color Divine Lotus for the psyche was immensely strong; he had realized this before. However, he never expected there would come a day when this beneficial protection would spoil his plans.

Of the Blood Eye Spirit Runes, he had only comprehended a minimal part, and now that the Blood Eye was gone, he had nowhere to continue his observation.
