"Ling Yun, I never imagined you would be my final opponent. Heh, in this world, it's just you and me. Let's fight. Let me see how much you've grown from an ordinary person to someone comparable to a demon. Only one of us can survive!" Golden Miracle said slowly.
Ling Yun did not answer him. The boy's consciousness was in the flowing river of time, recalling bits and pieces of his memories, and finally freezing in the strange dream he had when he first gained his superpower.
Countless stars rushed towards him, reshaping him from all that he had lost. Ling Yun even saw a seven-colored radiation cloud floating in the sky, emitting a soft and beautiful light in the nameless space.
The boy slowly raised his head, his emotionless gaze suddenly shooting towards the golden miracle. At that moment, the image of the demon overlapped with the final demon image in the fifth simulation. It turned out that, without realizing it, he had already seen the real demon.
This means that the demon was not summoned for the first time. Yu Xiujie must have seen the demon a long, long time ago, but no one knew it.
A crack suddenly appeared between Ling Yun's brows, and a dazzling light shone from his forehead. The mysterious third eye finally revealed its true form. When Ling Yun was only a school officer, his third eye was enough to shock even the strongest. Now that Ling Yun's realm has far surpassed that of the strongest, what kind of power will his third eye possess?
A tangible aura began to rise wildly, like a gas, omnipresent yet nowhere. Everyone felt as if they were immersed in mercury, and even breathing became difficult.
Ling Yun glanced down, then flicked his fingers, releasing a red light that instantly formed a red light barrier, enveloping everyone inside. Immediately, everyone felt a lightness on their bodies, sensing the invisible, perfect barrier above them, and were utterly astonished.
"Is this kid even human..." Tang Tiejin muttered to himself.
"How can I marry your daughter if I'm not human?" Wish was in a good mood and teased him with a smile.
"I hope Lingyun can defeat the demon, otherwise we're really doomed!" Quasimodo said seriously, his eyes fixed intently on the boy who was still floating in the air.
Golden Miracle stared in astonishment at the third eye on Ling Yun's forehead. The light emanating from it made him feel as if he dared not look directly at it. Silver waves surged in the air, emitting a roar like a raging tide, and swept towards him in an overwhelming manner.
However, as a demon, how could Golden Miracle back down? With a stretch of its black demon wings, a continuous stream of dark power surged forth. This was true dark power, completely incomparable to the dark power of vampires, and it was even unafraid of the erosion of holy light. In fact, true power has no distinction between light and darkness; the only difference is the attribute.
The dark forces and the silver raging tide clashed head-on, even forming two enormous illusory dragons in the void, colliding and wrestling wildly, the sound of their collisions causing the entire space to tremble.
At the level of Lingyun and the Demon, all supernatural arts and techniques are reduced to their origin. Both sides are directly engaging in the simplest and most fundamental power attacks, because supernatural arts and superpowers have merged into one and can no longer be separated.
Large swaths of black and silver sparks appeared repeatedly in the air at a frequency of one ten-thousandth of a second, turning the space outside the barrier into a pure ocean of light and fire. The smallest particles collided and annihilated back and forth at the most frantic speed, and colorful lights flashed in the space from time to time, like the most beautiful fireworks on a holiday.
Although everyone was inside the barrier, they could still feel the immense power of the clash outside, a power capable of instantly killing even the strongest experts, leaving them all deeply shocked.
Ling Yun and the demon's figures kept shifting and changing positions in space. The two incredibly powerful beings were constantly teleporting. Each time they clashed, a small, bright burst of firelight rose from their spot. Within the firelight, a mushroom cloud was rising. The entire spatial structure was changing. In the face of the enormous energy impact, the spatial structure was becoming more solid, like soil that had been crystallized after being burned.
The more Golden Miracle fought, the more astonished he became. He had initially thought that with the endless supply of dark power from the demon, even if Ling Yun could temporarily match him, he could eventually wear Ling Yun down by simply prolonging the fight and exhausting his own energy. However, several hours had passed since they began clashing, and Ling Yun's power had not only not weakened but had instead grown stronger, as if he too possessed an inexhaustible source of energy.
"Ling Yun, we cannot determine a winner! Why don't we stop here?" Golden Miracle suddenly stopped attacking and stood with his hands behind his back, saying.
"Oh?" Ling Yun seemed somewhat surprised and stopped attacking, asking, "Why did you stop?"
"We can't determine a winner, and continuing the fight will only result in mutual destruction. Why don't we stop here? From now on, whatever we want to do will be none of our business. What do you think? I promise I won't harm your friends or your family, but please don't interfere with me in the future. This world is so big, why should we fight to the death?" Golden Miracle said slowly and deliberately.
"Hehe." Ling Yun smiled slightly. "Golden Miracle, you've certainly calculated things carefully. You possess infinite life. As long as you let time kill me, won't you still be the master of this world? Why risk fighting me head-on?"
"Is that so? So what can you do? I can wait, I can wait for hundreds or thousands of years. As long as this world doesn't perish, I can exist." Golden Miracle shrugged shamelessly.
Ling Yun remained unperturbed, only sighing: "The problem is, Golden Miracle, I don't want a monster like you to live in this world. Although I don't want to fight you to the death, I'm not at ease with a crazy monster like you in the world. So, today, I must kill you."
Golden Miracle sneered: "You must kill me? What gives you the right?"
"With the Heavenly Eye!" Ling Yun's expression remained unchanged. Suddenly, he reached out and beckoned, and a small black bead flew out from the black mist, landing in Ling Yun's outstretched palm, gleaming faintly.
Ling Yun looked at the Golden Miracle: "You are not the most powerful being I have ever seen. Golden Miracle, I have seen another strange world. That world created a supreme civilization of barriers and gave birth to the Spirit of Barriers. It is a being that is more powerful than the two of us."
Golden Miracle smiled noncommittally: "What are you trying to say? Are you going to tell me the legend of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves?"
“What I want to say is,” Ling Yun said without any anger, slowly extending his palm and pointing the Heavenly Eye at the golden miracle, “that even a powerful being like the Spirit of the Barrier is no match for the Heavenly Eye. So, in the last moment of your life, take a good look at what the true power of the Heavenly Eye is.”
As he spoke, Ling Yun tossed the Heavenly Eye upwards. The black Heavenly Eye immediately floated in the air, spinning continuously, like a miniature planet. Golden Miracle looked up in disbelief.
The image in the demon's scarlet pupils suddenly underwent a tremendous change. In the image, the Heavenly Eye first transformed into a constantly beating black heart, then into a dense network of celestial rivers, and finally into a vast universe, growing larger and larger, seemingly without end.
No!
The golden miracle roared, its massive body trembling uncontrollably. The demonic possession finally became extremely panicked. That was a power it could not withstand. Compared to the macroscopic world displayed by the Heavenly Eye, it was just a speck of dust!
What the Golden Miracle resented most was that just as he had realized his dream of decades, even his entire life, he immediately stepped into hell.
The Sky Eye simply continued to display itself indifferently, like a cold, lifeless machine.
Finally, the demon's pupils could no longer contain the infinitely large image. With a bang, the red-glowing glass body burst open, covered with countless cracks. The cracks continued to extend and spread across the golden miracle's body, and they kept deepening and narrowing until the demon's body became a being filled with countless cracks.
With a deafening roar, the once-unrivaled golden miracle was reduced to dust that filled the sky.
Ling Yun casually removed the barrier, and the crowd surged out like a tide, surrounding him and asking all sorts of questions about what had just happened. Since no sound could be heard inside the barrier, the crowd didn't even understand what had happened; the golden miracle had simply vanished from the world. Although this was the best possible outcome, it left everyone utterly bewildered.
Ling Yun didn't explain, but simply looked up at the Heavenly Eye, which was still floating in the air, and said softly, "The Heavenly Eye is leaving."
The crowd looked at Ling Yun in confusion, then at Tianyan. Their voices gradually fell silent. As if sensing something, Tianyan suddenly flashed and disappeared without a sound, as if it had never existed in this world.
No one knows the true origin of the FAST telescope, where it came from, or where it is going. It has become a permanent mystery, but what is certain is that the world in which the FAST telescope resides must be a wonderful and diverse world.
Of course, that's another story.
crackling and popping
At Lingyun's home, Ling's father and mother sat around a round table, making dumplings while listening to the dense sounds of fireworks and firecrackers outside the window. As Lunar New Year's Eve approached, the festive atmosphere grew stronger and stronger.
"Xiaoyun should be back by now." Ling's mother peeked out the window, but it got dark early in winter, and she couldn't see anything outside except for the beautiful fireworks that rose from time to time, representing the festive atmosphere.
"You've asked several times already. Didn't I already call? It'll be a while before I get home," said Mr. Ling, intently kneading dumplings.
"Who's as heartless as you? I miss my son!" Ling's mother said disapprovingly.
Suddenly, the sound of a key turning in the lock came from the doorway. Mr. and Mrs. Ling quickly put down the dumplings they were eating and went to the door.
The security door creaked open, and Ling Yun stepped halfway in. "Dad, Mom, I'm back!" The boy smiled, but couldn't hide the joy in his eyes—the kind of happiness that only comes when you see your family.
