Chapter 1284: Eye Technique
Not only the members of the Sikong family were surprised, but everyone else also showed expressions of astonishment. If only Sikong Xiao were present from the Sikong family, they wouldn't have been surprised that Lin Feng took the demon flute. After all, with this person's cultivation level, he shouldn't be inferior to the Ten Great Prodigies and was worthy of a battle. However, besides Sikong Xiao, there was also the Sikong family's army of experts present. Offending the Sikong family would be nothing short of seeking death.
At this moment, Lin Feng slowly raised his head, his gaze fixed on Sikong Xiao. With a thought, he directly put away the Dark Demon Flute, causing the crowd to pause once more. Not only had Lin Feng taken it, but he had also immediately confiscated it.
In this demon palace, there was only this demon flute, and within it, the faint melody of the Nine Nether Demon Melody could be heard seeping out. Since it had fallen into his hands, how could he spit it back out? The items used by the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, even if just a flute, could it be simple?
"Hand it over!" Sikong Xiao's voice was icy cold. As he looked at Lin Feng, his eyes gradually turned eerie. His pupils seemed to be spinning, with layers of terrifying patterns, extremely strange.
"Heavenly Eye Constitution, the Heavenly Eye of the Sikong family!" The crowd's hearts trembled. The martial soul of the direct bloodline of the Sikong family was a pair of eyes. However, it was said that apart from Sikong Martial Emperor, no more than three people in the Sikong family possessed the Heavenly Eye. Sikong Xiao was one of them, and he was said to have the same eyes as Sikong Martial Emperor—the Heavenly Eye.
The Heavenly Eye was a type of eye technique, extremely powerful, possessing terrifying divine abilities. It was precisely because Sikong Martial Emperor possessed the Heavenly Eye that few Martial Emperors were willing to be his enemy. Eye techniques were inherently a terrifying divine ability, making them difficult to guard against.
Seeing Sikong Xiao use the Heavenly Eye, the crowd felt a sense of anticipation. This cursed one at the Ninth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm seemed to have cultivated a demonic eye, didn't he? Although it was not yet clear what kind of eye technique that demonic eye was, the fact that it could affect a Fourth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm expert showed that it was undoubtedly extremely powerful. They wondered if it was one of the continent's most terrifying demonic eyes.
On the Nine Heavens Continent, some eye techniques were extremely terrifying, such as the Seal Eye, the Death Eye, and the Reincarnation Eye.
"Heavenly Eye!" Lin Feng felt as if his eyes were being torn apart, about to sink into the other's pupils.
With a thought, Lin Feng's pupils turned pitch black, icy and boundless. A terrifying demonic will bloomed from those pupils, transforming his eyes into demonic eyes.
"Split!" It seemed as if Sikong Xiao's voice echoed in Lin Feng's mind. The two of them seemed to be in a unique void space. One demon god after another charged out from his pupils, all manifestations of a terrifying demonic will, trying to pierce through Sikong Xiao's eyes. However, the other's Heavenly Eye seemed to possess the ability to tear through space, ripping apart the demon gods conjured by the demonic will. Those eyes grew more and more eerie.
"Kill!" With a thought from Lin Feng, a voice resounded in Sikong Xiao's heart. The world seemed to be eroded by demonic intent. Countless demon gods went berserk, charging forward to kill, unstoppable.
At that moment, a terrifying light shot out from the rotating Heavenly Eye, as if space itself would freeze and stop. Time seemed to slow down. The demon gods fell into a time vortex, moving slowly, while a terrifying tearing force ripped everything apart, even tearing apart the powerful demonic will.
"So this is the ability of the Heavenly Eye?" Lin Feng thought to himself. This pair of pupils not only possessed a terrifying tearing force but also seemed to see through everything. Those eyes slowed down time itself. This was not the power of Time Essence, but rather a unique method of the Heavenly Eye—seeing through the void, slowing everything down, giving the illusion that time had slowed.
A very terrifying eye technique. If used in battle, the opponent would have the upper hand, able to see through your attack power, slow it down with the eye technique, and then split it apart.
It was said that the Essence powers Sikong Xiao controlled were the Essence of Splitting and the Essence of Speed and Slowness. Perhaps this was also what his Heavenly Eye brought him. At its root, it was all his martial soul—the abilities brought by his Heavenly Eye martial soul. A person with a powerful martial soul would benefit from it throughout their martial arts journey. The martial soul influenced the martial artist's martial path.
Lin Feng had always been guessing. His so-called unknown constitution and his abilities—all of which could be cultivated—were probably inseparable from that mysterious martial soul.
"Interesting!" At this moment, a faint laugh came, directly penetrating the minds of Sikong Xiao and Lin Feng. They seemed to see a third pair of eyes. No, it should be a fourth, a fifth... Eyes were everywhere, appearing in every corner, as if the entire void was occupied by those eyes.
"Illusion Eye, Mu Fanchen!" Sikong Xiao let out a cold shout, and his eerie gaze gradually retracted. Almost at the same time, Lin Feng's demonic eyes also dissipated, but his eyes remained icy cold.
Beside them, another figure appeared. It was none other than Mu Fanchen of the Illusory World Heavenly Palace, another of the Ten Great Prodigies.
"Illusion Eye, is this also a type of illusion technique?" Lin Feng murmured to himself. Mu Fanchen also understood eye techniques. The Ten Great Prodigies were indeed not to be underestimated. These people had already entered the Sovereign Martial Realm and could fight several levels above their own. According to the Prophet, Qitian Saint and Bai Qiuluo were probably among the weaker ones of the Ten Great Prodigies.
"I didn't expect someone to duel in eye techniques with Sikong Xiao!" Mu Fanchen glanced at Lin Feng and said with a light laugh.
"You want to join in the fun too?" Sikong Xiao's eerie eyes turned to Mu Fanchen. Their gazes collided in the void, and a layer of mist seemed to bloom in the air, astonishing the crowd. In a single glance, the two had already completed a duel.
"The Demon Emperor's item is for everyone to share. If you, Sikong Xiao, can take it, why can't I?" Mu Fanchen said with a faint smile. An item of the Demon Emperor, even if just a demon flute, no one dared to underestimate it. What if that jade flute was an Imperial Artifact?
Just then, a soft laugh came. The crowd saw a clear figure drift over, causing many to stare in slight daze. Looking at the figure with flowing long skirt, they revealed a look of infatuation. What a beautiful woman. Her eyes made everyone feel as if she was looking at them, making them want to sink in and submit beneath her skirt.
"Six Desires Heavenly Palace, Yiren Lei. This is getting more and more interesting!" Someone broke free from that illusion of desire, murmuring in their heart. Three prodigies had appeared here. Moreover, both Mu Fanchen and Yiren Lei had strong backing. Only the cursed one seemed mysterious, with no one knowing which force he belonged to.
"Yiren loves music. If you all could yield that jade flute to Yiren, I would be extremely grateful." Yiren Lei's beautiful eyes carried a light smile, enough to charm all living beings. She was also interested in that demon flute.
"Though I wish to help the fairy maiden, unfortunately, the demon flute's allure to me is also great." Mu Fanchen's long robe fluttered. He naturally was unwilling to back down. He was the least affected by Yiren Lei's seductive eyes, as he specialized in illusion techniques and had a strong mental strength. He was used to deceiving others, so how could he be easily deceived?
"If Fairy Yi is willing to be my, Sikong Xiao's, woman, I wouldn't mind taking the jade flute and giving it to you as a gift!" Sikong Xiao's eyes were eerie as he said with a faint smile. If the holy maiden of the Six Desires Heavenly Palace could marry into the Sikong family, it would certainly be a very interesting matter. A husband and wife both being prodigies could also enjoy the pleasures of the six desires. Moreover, Yiren Lei herself was stunningly beautiful, with a city-toppling appearance.
"Young Master Sikong is the future of the Sikong family. Yiren is afraid she is not worthy of such an honor." Yiren Lei refused with a light smile. The three seemed to be chatting and laughing, but the meaning behind their words was clear. None of them was willing to give up the Demon Emperor's Dark Jade Flute. They were determined to have it. The vast demon palace had been blasted several hundred zhang deep by these people, yet only this jade flute had appeared. Who wouldn't want to see what it was?
Sikong Xiao's eerie eyes flickered, scanning the two, and said coldly, "Since that's the case, let's make an agreement. How about it?"
"What agreement?" Mu Fanchen asked with a smile, while Yiren Lei's gaze also fell on Sikong Xiao.
"The three of us will attack together. Whoever kills him gets the jade flute!" Sikong Xiao pointed his finger at Lin Feng and said coldly. Although there were four contenders, in Sikong Xiao's eyes, there were clearly only three. Lin Feng, despite his decent eye technique, was only at the Eighth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm—not qualified. A good eye technique didn't necessarily mean strong strength!
