Now I am about to make the pupil close into a single vertical line, to see just how powerful this yuan weapon is.
" "Yuan weapon? " The two women were briefly taken aback. Shen Mu was already manipulating the formation array, narrowing the pupil.
The light suddenly became incomparably brilliant, and Ling Yuxiu and Si Yunxiang hastily shut their eyes.
Even with their eyes closed, they could still see a terrifying light slash forth, like a blade of light, exceedingly thin! Shen Mu halted the formation array. A humming vibration came from within the jade eye, then the light vanished, and the surrounding heat gradually dispersed.
The two women opened their eyes, and before them still lingered a black light—brightness at its extreme is blackness—because their own pupils had been scorched.
Though they had not looked directly, the light from the jade eye had still pierced through their eyelids and injured their eyes. Fortunately, their yuan qi was robust, and such minor damage could heal itself.
Shen Mu walked out from behind the eye and looked up, and could not help but be stunned: the great hall before them had been sliced cleanly down the middle by the blade of light shot from the jade eye! Though the hall still stood there, who knew when it might collapse!
And upon the firmament of this undersea world, a saber scar had also been slashed down from the heavens. The barrier that upheld the seafloor had split open in a great gash, leaking water into this undersea world.
Shen Mu rubbed his chin. A few stubborn hairs had sprouted forth; he seized them and plucked them out with force.
The youth hissed in pain—not from the flesh, but from the heart. Just now, testing the power of this jade eye, he had inadvertently punched through the barrier of this strange undersea world. In all likelihood, within a few days the seawater would flood this place entirely.
Si Yunxiang watched the water spray falling from midair strike the great hall. That hall, which had seemed so exceedingly sturdy, immediately gave out creaking, groaning sounds of unbearable strain and tilted to either side.
With two thunderous booms, the hall split in half and collapsed, dust and smoke billowing, revealing enormous beast bones.
Those were Taotie's bones—the skull of a pure-blooded Taotie, also sliced in two by Shen Mu's beam of light. Now that the hall had collapsed, the Taotie skull was revealed, exceedingly massive.
"The Heavenly Kings did not speak wrongly," Si Yunxiang murmured. "Sect Master Shen truly demolishes wherever he goes.
.
. " Ling Yuxiu likewise thought it a pity.
This was a temple of the gods, a wondrous undersea world—and just like that, after Shen Mu tinkered with it a couple of times, it was destroyed. "Oxherd, you have a given name but no courtesy name. Let me give you one—Demolition, Shen Demolition! " Ling Yuxiu proposed.
Shen Mu was still nursing his heartache. Hearing this, he could not help but flush red and protest, "I am not Shen Demolition!
I did not demolish anything recklessly.
Don't talk nonsense and ruin my good name! " Si Yunxiang ground her teeth and sneered, "You, innocent?
You had scarcely arrived at Mount Shenglin before you demolished the Hall of the Three Kings!
" Ling Yuxiu sneered, "The Scholars' Residence at the Imperial Academy—you demolished it three or five times, didn't you? And the palaces around the Temple of Heaven in the imperial palace—those were demolished by you and your Nether Demon Cult as well, weren't they?
And Tianbo City, I hear, was also torn down by you! Look—we had only just arrived here, and you have already demolished this undersea world.
This undersea world has likely stood here for tens of thousands of years, and the moment you arrive, it is gone! " Shen Mu was crestfallen and muttered, "Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense.
