Hu Qi’s expression shifted slightly as he looked up.
The sky was suddenly shrouded by a massive black curtain, the brightness of day swallowed in an instant.
The tranquil atmosphere abruptly changed, and the world plunged into an oppressive gloom.
In an instant,
the clouds in the sky were stretched thin and torn to shreds.
A fierce wind arose, howling as it tore between heaven and earth.
The clouds seed to be playthings for an invisible giant hand. They were stretched into long, thin wisps that extended toward so unknown direction, dancing helplessly in the wind like pale silk ribbons.
Then, as if violently torn apart by that sa formless power, the shattered cloud fragnts scattered in every direction—so drifting like cotton fluff, others ethereal as wisps of smoke.
The next mont, a vast, indifferent, and terrifying will descended with a thunderous presence.
Countless bolts of lightning suddenly appeared in the firmant, writhing like silver serpents and tearing through the heavy canopy of the sky.
The lightning flashed with a blinding light and carried a chilling aura, as if thousands of Fierce Beasts were roaring, bellowing, and stampeding.
The bolts crisscrossed and intertwined, then, in a heart-stopping mont, miraculously rged.
The light grew increasingly intense as the countless bolts of lightning gradually coalesced, forming a colossal eye.
The giant eye hung high in the sky, like the wrathful glare of the heavens, radiating a mysterious and majestic aura.
Its outline was sketched by crackling arcs of electricity.
Looking at this giant eye,
Hu Qi raised an eyebrow.
He recalled the inheritance scene he had witnessed when he awakened the Twisted Light Talent of the Three-Eyed Primordial Serpent.
In it, a Three-Eyed Primordial Serpent had used Twisted Light to evade the probing of a colossal, blood-red eye in so other world.
At the ti, he had only learned its na: the Eye of the Heavens.
Back when his strength was weak, he didn’t know what it truly was.
Now, however, Hu Qi understood exactly what this thing was.
The Eye of the Heavens was a manifestation of the world’s will itself.
Only when an event occurred that caused extre harm to the world itself would the world’s will condense into the Eye of the Heavens to attack and annihilate the entity responsible.
And Hu Qi’s recent action was equivalent to carving a chunk of flesh from the Earth Star World. How could it not be furious?
However, this Eye of the Heavens before him was sowhat different from the one he saw in the Inheritance Illusion Mirror, and its oppressive presence was much weaker.
Watching this unfold,
Hu Qi’s face was impassive.
He spoke in a cold voice.
"Get lost!"
Hearing this,
the giant eye above him paused for a mont, then seed to beco enraged.
Even more terrifying lightning began to weave within it!
With a deafening roar, the lightning instantly broke free of the eye’s confines, transforming into a blinding Thunder Dragon that plumted downward like a teor.
Everywhere the Thunder Dragon passed, it seed bent on destroying everything in existence.
The space in its wake was torn into black fissures that emitted the faint stench of sothing burning.
With unstoppable montum, it shot straight down toward Hu Qi’s head.
It moved so fast that space itself seed to thicken and congeal in its presence.
The massive bolt of lightning drew closer, and Hu Qi’s figure seed minuscule in its glow.
The intense light from the bolt illuminated the surroundings as if it were day, making it impossible to keep one’s eyes open.
But in the next instant, just as the devastating Thunder Dragon was about to strike,
a vast shadow suddenly appeared.
The Thunder Dragon, with its world-destroying aura, and even the Eye of the Heavens connected to the firmant above, vanished completely. In their place, the afterimage of black and gold serpent scales flashed and disappeared.
A second later, a chorus of roars and howls, as if from thousands of humans and beasts, echoed between heaven and earth. The sound was filled with unwillingness and rage before it faded away.
The next mont,
the sky brightened once more. The giant lightning eye and the massive serpent were gone without a trace.
In their place, Hu Qi’s figure reappeared.
He let out a satisfied burp.
Faint sparks of lightning flickered at the corners of his mouth before fading away after a few seconds.
Hu Qi paid it no mind.
His gaze fell upon his panel.

’Just as I thought. Devouring a part of this world’s will increases the progress of my Bloodline’s Mutation.’
Hu Qi’s gaze landed on the Bloodline entry, specifically on the Mutation progress after "Three-Eyed Primordial Serpent."
Worlds differ in strength, so the power of the Eye of the Heavens they can condense naturally varies as well.
The Earth Star World was an ordinary world to begin with, and after the devastation caused by Mother Earth, it didn’t have much of its source left.
It had only recovered slightly after a century of recuperation.
For an Eye of the Heavens condensed under such conditions to even think of harming Hu Qi was nothing but a pipe dream.
Not only was it useless, but he had also devoured it and increased his Bloodline’s Mutation progress in the process.
Although he could also deepen the Bloodline’s Mutation progress through ti, cultivation, and refinent,
the rate was painfully slow.
In a hundred years, it had only increased by about three percent.
Besides that,
he had also used Modification Points to increase it.
However, the cost was imnse.
It took one thousand Modification Points to raise the progress by a single percent.
He had spent twenty to thirty thousand Modification Points just to push the Bloodline’s Mutation progress to 45%.
Now, by devouring one Eye of the Heavens, he had increased the progress by four percent.
That single act had saved him four thousand Modification Points.
Thinking of this, his gaze couldn’t help but turn fervent.
He was even tempted to do sothing else to provoke it into attacking him again, or perhaps even devour it completely.
But Hu Qi only entertained the thought and didn’t act on it.
He could clearly feel the world’s will’s wariness toward him.
If he made another move and pushed it too far,
there was no guarantee it wouldn’t go completely berserk.
No matter how weak, it was still a world. If it decided to fight him to the death, regardless of the outco,
the living beings within this world would surely suffer a cataclysm, perhaps even facing extinction.
He wouldn’t consider doing so until he possessed the power to instantly crush an entire world.
With that thought, his gaze shifted downward, landing on the Taiyu Serpent Cosmos Ring Scripture.
This Inheritance Secret Martial Arts had now reached the Ninth Layer of the Void Realm Chapter, which was its current limit.
At this mont, his Cultivation had entered the Void Realm Third Stage: Grotto Heaven.
Grotto Heaven, as the na implied, allowed him to open up a special Pocket World Space unique to himself.
This space was ford from the Taiyu Serpent created by the Taiyu Serpent Cosmos Ring Scripture.
Moreover, as his strength increased, the size of this Grotto Heaven was constantly expanding.
Thinking of this,
he imrsed his consciousness.
And there,
a section within the Life Map in his body began to magnify.
In an instant, a different scene appeared before his eyes.
It was a dim, lightless void, surrounded by darkness.
But in the very center, light emanated.
A vast blue ocean floated there, and in its middle was a sprawling island covered by a massive, inverted do of light.
It was none other than the Zero Ecological Island that the giant serpent had swallowed earlier.
At this mont, the Exotic Beasts on the island seed to be just recovering from the shock of the earlier commotion.
Hu Qi’s perspective was quite strange—it was a bird’s-eye view.
And if he wished, he could split his perspective into multiple viewpoints, observing from any angle he chose.
In the process,
Hu Qi also saw Camphor Tea Duck and Xiaobai within it.
