"You wanted to tell me about this?" Ling Yun seemed stunned for a moment before she came to her senses.
"What did you think I was going to talk to you about?" Xiao Rou said irritably when she saw his dazed look. How could her husband be so clueless? She really needed to give him a good talking-to in the future! The young woman, who had already secured her position as the wife, thought to herself.
Ling Yun chuckled awkwardly. He had thought Xiao Rou was calling him so that he would kneel down and propose to her in public. He quickly stopped his wild thoughts and nodded, saying, "That's exactly right."
As he spoke, Ling Yun took out the Heavenly Eye from the yellow book barrier in his chest and handed it to Tang Tiejin, earnestly saying, "Chief Instructor, this was stolen from the Heavenly Eye Society by Xiao Rou's mother when she was dying. Her dying wish was to give the Heavenly Eye to Xiao Rou's biological father. Now that the truth has come out, please accept the Heavenly Eye."
Everyone held their breath, their eyes wide with shock as they stared at the small black bead in Ling Yun's hand. Was this the legendary Heavenly Eye? Even the most powerful individuals had never seen this extraordinary treasure that had been talked about for decades in the world of supernatural beings. It was said that whoever comprehended the secrets of the Heavenly Eye could obtain supreme power. And now, the Heavenly Eye was right before their eyes. Even the supernatural beings furthest away could see it clearly with their advanced farsightedness. Everyone stared intently, but looking at the perfectly normal black bead, they couldn't help but wonder, "This is the Heavenly Eye? How come it looks completely normal?"
In fact, only Ling Yun knew the true terror of the Heavenly Eye. This small black bead contained immense power that could instantly destroy everything with overwhelming force, and even destroy the world with ease. Any human power was nothing but dust in front of it.
The Heavenly Eye is the universe, the macrocosm, the law of all things, the very representation of the laws. Such a thought suddenly arose in Ling Yun's mind, and he seemed to have grasped something in the darkness.
Vish looked at Ling Yun with admiration and envy. This young man truly had a bright future. Not only did he possess the strongest power, but more importantly, he had a simple and honest heart. Even the Heavenly Eye, which even super strong people coveted, was given away by him without hesitation, simply because of the last wish of a dead person.
Lingyun and Xiaorou's qualities even surpass the value of the Heavenly Eye itself; they are truly deserving of the title of superhumans!
"This... how can I accept it? You should keep it." Tang Tiejin sighed, his heart heavy. This was the price his lover had paid with twenty years of separation and her life. Tang Tiejin was reminded of his beloved by seeing this object, so how could he accept this heavy keepsake?
"Please accept it. This is my mother's last wish. You don't want to go against her last wish after she's gone, do you?" Xiaorou said softly, a look of infinite sorrow flashing across her beautiful face.
"Alright, I'll accept it... but it can't be kept as my private treasure. The Heavenly Eye involves the Heavenly Eye Society's biggest secret, and we should use it to destroy the Heavenly Eye Society!" Hearing Xiao Rou's advice, Tang Tiejin hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted the Heavenly Eye and readily agreed.
"Tang, let me see this thing. What secret does it hold that makes Golden Miracle value it so much?" Wesh said upon seeing this.
Tang Tiejin tossed the Heavenly Eye toward Weish. “These two kids showed me the Heavenly Eye once, but it was too short and I didn’t find anything. I thought it was just the Golden Miracle using it to deceive people. But now, I have a feeling that the Heavenly Eye is a bit strange, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.”
Wisch raised his hand to catch it, then laughed, "Are you getting old and blind? You might as well let me... Who is he? Stop!"
Everyone's expression changed. When Wesh shouted the last two words, "Stop!", it was so loud that the heads of the nearby superhumans went blank and they almost collapsed.
A hand suddenly reached out from the void, grabbed the Heavenly Eye in mid-air, and then tried to retract back into the void.
Under the watchful eyes of countless top-tier experts, nearly twenty super-strong individuals, and the three strongest individuals closest to them—Tang Tiejin, Wei Shi, and Ling Yun—the Heavenly Eye was stolen right before their eyes by an unknown, hidden ability user!
Tang Tiejin, Weish, and Ling Yun reacted the fastest. Before the hand could even grasp the Heavenly Eye, a tangible and dazzling spiritual force field of silver light transformed into countless ribbons of light, tightly wrapping around the wrist in the void. With the combined strength of the three, even a mountain would probably be dragged, let alone a hidden superhuman.
A short figure was launched awkwardly from the void, but before the three could grab it, three hands suddenly and unexpectedly rose from the ground, pressing down on the feet of Tang Tiejin, Weish, and Ling Yun. Then, three even shorter figures leaped out of the ground and pounced towards the three strongest individuals.
Before the three strongest could even sneer, these guys who launched the sneak attack were only junior officers, yet they dared to overestimate themselves and try to attack the strongest? But immediately, the smiles of Ling Yun and the other two froze on their faces.
A deafening explosion suddenly erupted from the three small figures. In the blink of an eye, their figures had shrunk into countless tiny particles, and a blood-red cloud of light rose violently from where the three stood.
Chapter 434 Blood Prince
Explosion! All the superhumans screamed and scrambled to avoid the shockwave from the blood cloud. The weaker superhumans were even sent flying by the approaching shockwave, coughing up blood mid-air.
Tang Tiejin, Weish, and Ling Yun roared repeatedly, barely managing to block the powerful impact under the flashing silver light of their mental energy fields. They were the strongest and among the fastest-reacting people in the world, but the sudden and drastic change still left the three feeling powerless.
This was not an ordinary self-destruction by a superhuman; it was the most devastating blood self-destruction a superhuman could unleash. The power of a blood self-destruction was more than twice that of a normal self-destruction. Even a superhuman at the lieutenant level would pose a huge threat to a super-strong individual. Although it was not enough to seriously injure the three of them, it left them in a sorry state.
Seeing that the three strongest individuals closest to him were all blocked and unable to free up their hands, the figure forced out of the void suddenly flashed and disappeared into the void again. However, the super strong individuals present all reacted and roared as they launched a counterattack against the figure. Some high-level ability users even used the special technique of sealing space. If this guy were to steal the Heavenly Eye in front of countless strong individuals from the two super ability organizations, then the Super Ability Headquarters and the Super Ability Bureau would really lose face.
The figure seemed to realize the trouble, constantly appearing and disappearing in the void, violently crashing back and forth against the increasingly hardened spacetime passage. A net of light woven from the mental energy fields of more than a dozen super strong individuals was gradually approaching him.
The figure paused, then shook its hands outwards with all its might, as if summoning something, making several strange gestures. As an eerie atmosphere rose, several fiery red figures suddenly appeared above the crowd, and then the figures began to stretch and twist.
Before anyone could even shout, a huge and heavy sound had already drowned out all other sounds. Looking into the distance, it looked as if a mushroom-shaped red cloud was rising above the wilderness.
It was another blood self-destruction, and this time it involved four mid-level powerhouses, including one nearing super-powerful strength. All the super-powerful individuals fell silent. The power of such a self-destruction was enough to send many weaker ability users to their doom. The super-powerful individuals had no choice but to withdraw their blocking mental energy fields, forming a massive defensive light net to desperately shield themselves from the impact of the blood self-destruction. As for the phantom figure, they had no time to pay it any mind.
Ling Yun gritted his teeth and, relying on his senses, unleashed a beam of silver light in a certain direction with all his might. This was the first time in his life that he had suffered such a great loss. He originally thought that with so many super strong people and two of the strongest people eyeing him covetously, even if the Golden Miracle came in person, it would be impossible to retrieve the Heavenly Eye. He never expected to be caught off guard. The other party actually used the most tragic method of mass self-destruction to create an opening for stealing the Heavenly Eye. Although seven ability users were killed, they still managed to obtain the Heavenly Eye in the end.
"If only I had used the Eye of Illusion earlier!" Ling Yun thought, hearing a faint scream echoing from the void. He knew his final attack had had some effect, and he clenched his fists in frustration, filled with regret. So many powerful figures hadn't sensed the thief's presence, indicating the thief possessed extraordinary concealment techniques and considerable strength; otherwise, they couldn't have remained hidden for so long. However, if the Eye of Illusion had been activated in time, even the most powerful concealment techniques would have been ineffective.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ling Yun's mind, and his senses replayed the chaotic scene from before. He suddenly had a sense of familiarity; this method of concealment seemed to have been seen somewhere before...
The blood cloud slowly dissipated, and everyone, still shaken, scrambled to their feet. The overwhelming pressure, except for the super-strong individuals, had left everyone else sprawled on the ground. For the vast majority of those at the Superpower Headquarters, this was the first time they had ever witnessed the power of a self-destruction, especially an extraordinary blood self-destruction. This trip to America had truly broadened their horizons.
Tang Tiejin and Wei Shi exchanged a bitter smile, then looked at Ling Yun, whose face was grim: "Has the Heavenly Eye been stolen?"
Ling Yun didn't say a word, he just nodded.
"That's quite a feat..." Wesh exclaimed. "Seven powerful individuals self-destructing in succession, hehe, that's quite audacious!"
"And that special concealment method, I feel like I've seen it somewhere before? But I can't remember." Tang Tiejin frowned.
The two strongest individuals sighed, showing no regret for losing their Heavenly Eyes. Having cultivated to the level of super strong individuals, they rarely became swayed by external changes; otherwise, they would not have reached this level.
Gain and loss are just a matter of a single thought; what seems accidental is actually inevitable.
Ling Yun looked at Xiao Rou, their eyes met, and they both looked thoughtful. Suddenly, they said at the same time, "The Killing Soul Organization!"
The stealth technique used by the person who stole the Heavenly Eye was the same stealth technique used by Assassin Nine and Assassin Ten when the two arrived at the American coastline. However, this mysterious figure was much more powerful than Assassin Nine and Assassin Ten at that time, and could at least fool the strongest.
"The Killing Soul Organization?" The two strongest members showed expressions of understanding. "No wonder they have such good concealment methods."
"It seems that it was assassin Zero who made the move. No one else can deceive us except him," Tang Tiejin said coldly.
"I heard that the Killing Soul Organization only has ten superhuman assassins, and they lost more than half of them just for the Heavenly Eye. It's really a losing proposition," Wesh sighed.
“Apart from Killer Zero, the other assassins are just tools. It’s no pity if they die. But I really admire this guy. He was able to train such a brave suicide bomber. Luckily, he only had ten subordinates. If there were a hundred or so more, we would all be wiped out here.” Tang Tiejin snorted.
Several people were dejected. Although they said that, they were still disappointed that the Heavenly Eye had been taken away right under their noses. Everyone, including Tang Tiejin, was somewhat disheartened.
Everyone was feeling rather bored. After being harassed by the Soul Killing Organization, most people were still shaken and remained silent for a while.
Ling Yun looked at Xiao Rou with a bitter smile: "Wife, the Heavenly Eye is gone. It's all my fault. I failed to protect your mother's last possessions, causing you to lose the most important thing."
