Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1824 - 496: Just Selling My Life, Swelling Ego

Just like back then, after Yu Ziqing personally exposed and tore apart the disguise, the increasingly numerous simultaneous heavenly tribulations began to transform.The tribulation clouds above, emanating immense malice, started to divide, half carrying malice and half being the purest tribulation clouds.

At the moment this scene appeared, the Ancient Sea God knew it was the end.

He was merely a Heaven Stealer, incapable of borrowing the power of heaven and earth to contend against heaven and earth itself.

The Ancient Sea God looked at Yu Ziqing, standing mid-air, with growing unease.

Yu Ziqing withstood the Destruction Heavenly Tribulation, barely passing through, and instead used the heavenly tribulation to complete his tempering, now completely coming into his own.

There might not be such an opportunity again in the future, the Ancient Sea God lamented full of regret.

But thinking positively, Yu Ziqing's blindness was at least some outcome.

Compared to his expectations of leaving Yu Ziqing with an irreparable regret, it's close enough.

Given Yu Ziqing's current Body Refinement power, along with the unique power of the heavenly tribulation, if he didn't recover on the spot, he basically couldn't recover at all.

The Ancient Sea God pondered, and found it acceptable.

If he had known earlier that Yu Ziqing could penetrate connections to directly observe him, he would have dealt a harsh blow to Yu Ziqing based on this point.

Any living being that observes the River of Time in such a manner, their Divine Soul shattering on the spot is considered the standard outcome.

Even when the Ancient Sea God had his True Body back then, he definitely wouldn't dare to do so.

Not only did Yu Ziqing do it, but he seemed to observe even deeper into the core, merely losing his eyesight, which already showed quite the quick reaction.

A fraction of a moment slower, and Yu Ziqing would die on the spot.

Even when the Ancient Sea God had his True Body back then, he never did such a thing, so he wasn't very clear on the entire process, but he knew the outcome.

A being losing its most important eyes, this lack has already achieved its purpose.

Generally, people may think that reaching the Ninth Tier means even being blind doesn't affect much, besides sight, sharper and more sensitive senses can perceive everything in the world.

Even if one's eyes aren't blind, many times perception isn't reliant on vision.

But blind means blind, which represents a flaw.

With this flaw, it's impossible to be perfect again, the chance of advancing to the Tenth Tier will plummet.

The Ancient Sea God didn't confront the heavenly tribulation head-on, knowing there wouldn't be a result, he retreated without hesitation and directly gave up.

In the sky above Dadui, except for Jiachen City, the tribulation clouds that were everywhere started to dissipate, and that oppressive feeling from heaven and earth gradually faded.

Many not in Jiachen City were unaware of what happened.

But in the eyes of many in Jiachen City, their majesty fended off the catastrophe on his own.

Initially, some thought that the appearance of a heavenly tribulation on the day of the coronation ceremony and sacrificial ceremony was an ominous sign.

Even some rebellious folks began to wonder if the emperor's frequent absence from court was a divine warning.

However, when Emperor Dui confronted it so directly, without retreat, bearing it all,

No one dared to say more, or even think about it.

In the world of cultivators, reality is such that often the mindset is that the bigger the fist, the truer the reason.

Of course, more people, especially those in Jiachen City witnessing the ceremony, felt greatly shocked.

Yu Ziqing's actions, in the eyes of some powerful individuals, defy the heavens, yet he succeeded.

Even though there was a price to pay, blindness, he managed to withstand it.

This means that impossible things can still be overcome.

If it had just been an individual, it might be said it's due to exceptional talent, but the heavenly tribulation at the sacrificial ceremony, and the tribulation clouds appearing in many places, can't be blamed on an individual; it's targeting Dadui.

This makes the matter extraordinarily significant and will have a massive impact on the future.

Without the heavenly tribulation, Yu Ziqing's hair, which hadn't grown for long above his head, started to regrow.

The hair curled up on its own, forming a topknot, and Yu Ziqing slowly descended from the sky.

Zhang rushed up in desperation, looking at Yu Ziqing's gray, hollow eyes, almost bursting into tears.

"Your majesty..."

"It's okay, in a few days, it will be fine." Yu Ziqing extended a hand to help Zhang up from his bow, with a reassuring smile.

He spoke the truth, but Zhang didn't believe it.

The body had decayed to a skeleton and yet could rapidly recover, but now the eyes couldn't recover, who would believe he could?

Listening to Yu Ziqing comfort him, Zhang couldn't help but wipe his eyes, holding back tears.

Seeing Zhang's disbelief, Yu Ziqing couldn't explain.

His blindness was the result of obtaining the full blessing of the Dadui Divine Dynasty's power, naturally including Body Refinement.

His physical body, enhanced in all aspects, would instinctively react to the extreme, exceeding his own limits in response speed.

To protect itself, the eyes went blind of their own accord, meaning they could recover.

If they had gone blind passively, or the eyes had fallen into that River of Time, Yu Ziqing truly wouldn't know how to recover.

But disbelief is disbelief, Yu Ziqing thinks it's quite fine now.

If he were too assertive, the enemy might pay too much attention to him, making things hard for him.

The important matters were over, Yu Ziqing didn't need to involve himself further, Zhang and others would handle them.
