Chapter 2807: 2807
The courtyard outside the academy was very rowdy due to the new semester .
However, Li Qiye wasn’t disturbed by this at all . He rarely went outside and focused on the task at hand .
He benefited greatly while destroying the darkness . In his mind, the eye of darkness has lost its power under the suppression of the four images .
It was reverted back to its initial form - just another eye . It’s just that it gained the same power as its owner in the past .
The eye was quite large with two distinct pupils . At the very least, its owner wasn’t a human . It was hard to determine the nature and race of the owner judging by this eye alone .
Upon closer inspection, Li Qiye found this eye to be incredible, seemingly containing an endless period of time .
Perhaps it was there during the initial inception and has been watching the entire world . Billions and billions of years along with the rise and fall of all have been observed, turning this eye into the greatest witness in existence .
Neither jade nor gold but the eye looked quite tough, seemingly untouchable . Through extrapolation, its master was clearly an indestructible and undying being .
“Incredible, this eye is a supreme treasure . Even ancestral weapons can’t compare at all . ” He eventually praised it after the meticulous observation .
It had an innate force and could destroy the world, provided that someone could activate it .
“Hehe, don’t forget, half of its everything is in this eye, it’s not doing well right now without it . Well, finding it is very, very difficult . But now, you can use its own eye to look for it . ” The terrible existence said .
The “it” here was referencing the master of the eye .
“When at maximum power, who is stronger between you and it?” Li Qiye eventually said .
“Hah . ” The existence didn’t answer: “It’s a shame that coming to Three Immortals isn’t easy . This is a very good place that has gestated for eons . Even the villainous heaven can’t touch it . ”
It paused for a moment before continuing: “However, this won’t last forever since everything will cease to exist when that day comes . Not even the villainous heaven is excluded from this . ”
“That day won’t come . ” Li Qiye smiled .
“It’s good to be confident but you will surely lose this match . ” The existence said: “Compare yourself to that villainous heaven under your strongest state . ”
“I will certainly come back triumphantly!” Li Qiye’s gaze became profound .
“However, you will die above the firmaments . ” The existence said: “It doesn’t matter how strong you are, even to the point of being able to kill me . Your fate is already sealed . ”
“That day comes to all of us . Living and dying are the same things to me as long as I get to fight until the end . ” Li Qiye calmly said .
“Good mentality to have . ” The existence pondered for a moment before speaking: “It’s very difficult to maintain this mindset though . As you grow stronger and learn more, especially while standing at the apex and looking down on the world, you will no longer want to die . Your only pursuit will be immortality!”
“My immovable dao heart is eternal - all I want is just one chance to fight . ” Li Qiye said .
“I see . ” The existence sighed in response: “I’m inferior to you in this regard . So what if I had a lifetime of brilliance? I suppose losing to you isn’t shameful at all since I can’t break your dao heart . ”
“Your death will be meaningful due to the values that come after . ” Li Qiye smiled .
The existence didn’t answer, ending the conversation .
Li Qiye turned his focus back on the eye devoid of the dark affinity now after reverting to its original state .
He put it away and took out the severed golden hand . One would mistakenly think that it was cast from gold instead of being a part of someone . The muscles and various lines had a metallic appearance .
It gripped the eye tightly even after slamming into the ground . This successful suppression was due to two things - the power of the hand along with the undying intent of its owner .
Thus, the grip loosened in a natural manner after the dark affinity went away .
Whatever its owner might be, this being must have been extremely mighty in order to claw this eye out .
It wasn’t enough to break the indestructibility of the eye, but just taking it off of the immortal being was incredible . Ordinary progenitors had no chance of doing so .
The next noticeable thing was the various dao runes from an ancient era . Another sign of this owner being superior to progenitors .
“These are supreme dao runes . Anyone who can create these runes will be able to traverse the world untethered . ” Li Qiye praised .
To earn such praise from Li Qiye wasn’t easy . After all, merit laws heaven-defying enough to amaze him were extremely rare .
The hand by itself couldn’t physically dig out the eye . These runes played a great part in addition to the owner’s prowess .
From this, he speculated that these runes weren’t imprinted by the owner of the hand but by an even more impressive existence .
The owner of the golden hand was already beyond imagination but there was someone else even stronger?
“A brutal war . ” Li Qiye put the hand away and gazed through the sky vault: “It’s inevitable . Come, I’ll be waiting . ”
“You might be ready but what about everyone else? Are those True Emperors and progenitors ready?” The existence jumped in again .
“They will still need to fight, ready or not . It’s impossible to plan against all the dangers in the world . ” Li Qiye said .
“Well, failure might not be a bad thing . Those ready to die are amazing . Their death will encourage their descendants . That’s why these sages moved forward despite knowing the futility of their action, that their blood and head will fall to the ground . ”
It paused for a moment and continued: “Don’t forget, darkness and light exist together . They do not discriminate between allies and foes either . Some people are afraid of death too . The fatal blow might not be from your enemy but your allies . Not all the inhabitants will be on your side . ”
“So what? I’ll just continue killing everyone in my way . ” Li Qiye didn’t mind at all .
“Even your closest ones?” It revealed a faint yet truly sinister smile .
“Indeed . ” Li Qiye’s expression didn’t change in the slightest .
“Then you are no different from me . ” The existence’s smile grew wider: “What makes you think you’re qualified to be the savior?”
“I’ve never claimed to be . ” Li Qiye replied nonchalantly but his eyes were brimming with determination: “I’m just another combatant ready to fight until the sky falls into ruins . ”
“Be ready to hear the laments of everyone . ” The existence said .
Li Qiye smiled and closed his eyes .
