The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils

If he remembered correctly, the Immortal had a quasi-Insect Emperor in his possession, which was even more terrifying than the mighty Insect King before him.

The reason why it stopped at the Quasi-Insect Emperor level is probably due to the rules of the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm. Once an alien creature breaks into the realm of the gods, it will inexplicably go crazy and lose control.

At this moment, an insect king charged in menacingly, its eyes gleaming with murderous intent, determined to leave Shi Yi here forever.

The latter would naturally not sit idly by and wait to die. Having finally managed to break away from the swarm of insects, once it got entangled with this insect king, it would be trapped in an endless vortex of ferocious insects.

Shi Yi immediately activated the secret technique. A "sin" symbol between his eyebrows emitted a dazzling light, evolving into mysterious patterns that spread outwards. Above his head, a divine ring of the cave heaven hung high, with ten figures standing on it. Moreover, the forbidden sea of ​​suffering was surging. Within his body, various magic arrays were also activated, surging out vast divine energy.

At this moment, Taiyin Shiyi had already pushed his combat power to its peak.

The next moment, astonishing Yin power erupted from his Yin double pupils, as if a Yin universe had been opened.

With a clang, a sword formed from the power of Yin energy fell from Shi Yi's pupils, cleaving through the void at an incredible speed and arriving above the Insect King's head.

This speed is too fast; the sword is shrouded in the passage of time, as if it has left the long river of time behind.

The Black God Insect King looked surprised. It hadn't expected Shi Yi's attack to come so suddenly, giving it no time to react.

Despite the large number of Black God Insects blocking its way, nothing could be changed. The Taiyin Sword, one of the supreme mysteries of the Double Pupil, was invincible, annihilating all obstacles with overwhelming force and striking directly at the Insect King's face.

"puff!"

With a crisp sound, the Taiyin Sword pierced two-thirds of the way in, and the Black God Insect King bled profusely, nearly losing his life on the spot.

It immediately let out a mournful wail that echoed throughout the entire dark ancient forest.

Upon hearing this cry, all the black god insects became enraged and charged towards Shi Yi one after another.

Shi Yi did not linger in the fight. His goal was not to kill the Black God Insect King, but to leave the area.

After his attack, he didn't hesitate to flap his Taiyin Wings and use the Kunpeng's extreme speed to escape the Black God Insect Nest.

The Black God Insect King, severely injured, let out a deafening roar, but could only watch helplessly as Shi Yi drove away.

Then it emitted a strange whistling sound, as if it were conveying some message.

At the same moment, the man, who looked like an immortal, showed a look of surprise.

On his shoulder, a black divine insect with extraordinary aura stood quietly, vibrating its wings and sending out ripples of divine soul towards him.

The man nodded, a solemn look in his eyes.

"They actually managed to fight their way out of the swarm of insects. It seems I underestimated this creature. Even ancient freaks couldn't do that."

Shi Yi, the one with double pupils, is known as the number one person in the ancient immortal realm, and this reputation is well-deserved. As he spoke, his eyes shifted.

After a moment's thought, he picked up a flute, put it to his lips, and began to play.

The melodious flute music drifted along the main hall, carrying far and wide.

"Roar!"

In an area teeming with yin energy, roars echoed intermittently as terrifying creatures awoke. Upon receiving their master's orders, they set off, charging in one particular direction.

These are demons and gods, incredibly powerful, formed from endless yin energy, each possessing the strength of a seasoned true god.

One or two is nothing, but when the number reaches thousands or tens of thousands, it becomes terrifying.

To eliminate Shi Yi, a major concern who had never been involved in the scheme, the Immortal Emperor dispatched over a thousand demons and gods, overwhelming the area Shi Yi was bound to pass through.

Seeing this, the immortal nodded inwardly. Thousands of ghosts and demons, thousands of senior true gods—even he would have to retreat if he encountered such a scale, and would not dare to fight it head-on, or he would die in an instant.

This is the source of his confidence in setting up a trap to kill all the heroes. No matter how strong Shi Yi is, he can hardly withstand this kind of calamity.

After giving the order to kill Shi Yi, the Immortal no longer paid attention to the matter, because he felt that Shi Yi's fate was already sealed.

At this moment, Shi Yi was traveling through a mountain range. This was also a world within the haunted nest, but after being set up by the banished immortal, cultivators from the outside world could not come here unless they took an unconventional path like Shi Yi and fought their way out of the endless sea of ​​insects to escape.

The world here is very quiet, even ancient beasts are rarely seen, sacred objects are scarce, and even holy herbs are hard to find.

Shi Yi knew that the cultivation resources here had most likely been plundered by the banished immortal to cultivate ghost demons and black god insects. Without a massive amount of resources, it would be impossible to cultivate an endless sea of ​​insects and tens of thousands of ghost demons.

Everything was for the purpose of drawing out the pool of immortal blood hidden deep within the Nest of Ten Fiends, which was the key to the banished immortal cultivating his second strand of immortal energy.

He remained vigilant and cautious, because Shi Yi knew that the Immortal still had the trump card of ghosts and demons to play.

"Buzz!"

Within the forbidden sea of ​​suffering, atop the future flower, Shi Yi, carrying the Ancient Lamp of Cause and Effect and the Tortoise Shell of Destiny, felt wisps of energy flowing down from the forbidden sea of ​​suffering, enveloping him layer by layer.

In an instant, Shi Yi's aura approached nothingness, and his own existence seemed to be about to disappear.

With the power of time, cause and effect, and destiny at its peak, even the gods could not detect his figure.

This was the first time Shi Yi had used this ability since arriving at the haunted house. Even the meticulous immortal could not have imagined that a being possessed such a level of concealment technique.

After doing all this, Shi Yi felt much more at ease. Even if the immortal released ghosts and demons, he could still deceive everyone.

Sure enough, not far along, a chilling current emanated from the void. As the Taiyin clone, Shi Yi was naturally extremely alert and instantly noticed this.

As expected, the demons and monsters arrived one after another, filling the entire sky. They were ferocious and overwhelming, constantly emitting roars from hell, searching the world for Shi Yi's whereabouts.

A chilling aura permeated the air. If it weren't for Shi Yi standing here, he probably wouldn't have escaped the search of these ghosts and demons. But in the end, relying on his unparalleled secret technique, Shi Yi evaded the search and passed through the impenetrable wall of ghosts and demons.

He thought that was the end of it, but he didn't expect there to be several more such nets of demons and gods behind him, and the gaps were getting narrower and narrower.

It looked as if they were catching fish in the water, net after net.

Concealing his presence and aura, Shi Yi calmly and collectedly navigated through one fishing net after another, successfully breaking free from the encirclement.

Once past the fishing net, the path ahead opened up to a vast expanse of sky and sea, with nothing to hinder Shi Yi's progress. This wasn't due to the immortal's lack of foresight, but rather because Shi Yi was truly exceptional. For anyone else, the probability of breaking through the sea of ​​insects and the encirclement of demons and gods was practically zero. Moreover, turning back to jump off a cliff instead of navigating the three stone gates in front of them was something almost no one would do; it defied conventional thinking.

A vast net, composed of demons and monsters, sweeps and catches across this world, unaware that the fish they seek have already leaped out and are rapidly heading towards the depths.

The banished immortal, sitting cross-legged in the palace, never expected that someone could pass this test silently. He believed that thousands of demons and gods were enough to slay gods and Buddhas and sweep away everything.

He sat calmly, observing the cultivators who had entered the game. In front of him was a transparent wall, behind which was a celestial cave containing many treasures carefully prepared by the banished immortal.

The bone book containing the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques, the Qiankun Bag, the Seven-Colored Divine Flower, the Heavenly Pattern Conch... all are coveted treasures.

Everything was placed on a jade table. Apart from the bone book that recorded the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques, everything else was real, but it was covered with the symbols of the banished immortal. He could take it back at any time. The bone book was actually the array flag of this killing formation. As long as someone touched it, it would immediately activate the killing formation.

Outside the Immortal Cave, rows of prayer mats were laid out for cultivators to sit cross-legged on.

The closer one gets to the Immortal Cave, the more terrifying the pressure becomes for cultivators. Therefore, only the most powerful geniuses are qualified to sit on the frontmost prayer mats.

At this moment, seventeen or eighteen beings were already sitting cross-legged on the thirty-six prayer cushions in the first row. Each of them was incredibly powerful, with blood and energy like dragons. Among them were many beings of the level of ancient freaks. However, only a few of them were present in their true forms, while most of the others sent their spiritual bodies to participate in the journey to the Ten Fiends' Nest.

The immortal was not in a hurry to make a move; he knew that there were still big fish that had not yet come.

Actors like Shi Hao and Qin Hao are big fish that shouldn't be missed.

Where was Shi Hao at this moment? After entering one of the three stone gates, he passed through forty checkpoints in a row.

Each level is challenging enough to stump even the top first-generation players, and each level is more difficult than the last.

"When will this ever end?" Luo Dao sighed.

Shi Hao led the group to continue through the challenges. There were fifty challenges in total, and they figured they would be able to pass them soon.

Qin Hao, however, took a completely different path. Following the stone carving in his hand, he approached an island, a magnificent, suspended island surrounded by celestial light and filled with a sacred aura. It was clearly no ordinary place and must hold many opportunities.

Many creatures, hoping to gain access to the harvest, set off along hundreds of paths toward the giant island.

Before long, they will reach their final destination.

There are many such serendipitous locations within the entire haunted house; they are all traps set up by the banished immortal. The stone carvings in people's hands were also specially made by him to guide people into these traps.

Watching the fish enter the killing trap in an orderly fashion according to his plan, the immortal smiled slightly, more beautiful than a woman. However, beneath the calm surface lay a chilling killing intent. This final killing trap was far more terrifying than the previous ones. It was foreseeable that the number of cultivators who would die would be unprecedented, at least tens of thousands.

It should be understood that, across the three thousand Dao states, there are only a few million cultivators qualified to enter the Immortal Ancient Realm. The Immortal Exile's killing spree wiped out one-twentieth of them. This ratio is truly terrifying and sends chills down one's spine.

This means that one in every twenty prodigies is killed by a trap set by the banished immortal.

He truly kills without blinking an eye, which is completely inconsistent with his otherworldly image.

Just as the immortal was sitting calmly, preparing to make his final move and then perform a blood sacrifice to unlock his ultimate destiny, an uninvited guest was rapidly approaching – none other than Shi Yi, who had escaped the clutches of demons and gods.

He strolled through the void, his double pupils gleaming brightly, scanning ahead, searching for traces left by the banished immortal.

In a sense, these places can be considered the immortal's private garden, where he was the only one active and would most likely not conceal his whereabouts.

Sure enough, Shi Yi found a clue and followed it, heading in one direction.

Within the forbidden sea of ​​suffering, the ancient lamp of cause and effect flickers, and the tortoise shell of destiny emanates wisps of mysterious energy. These are revelations given to Shi Yi by two great paths, indicating that he is approaching his destination.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Shi Hao overcame the fiftieth trial, fought his way out of the dead end, and successfully entered a magnificent cave.

"hiss!"

There were already cultivators gathered in the cave, and when they saw Shi Hao and his group walk out of the ancient cave, they all gasped in surprise.

Because there are more than a hundred roads leading to this place, ten of which are dead ends, and Shi Hao and his group took one of them.

Not long after, under immense pressure, Shi Hao approached the immortal cave ahead and found a spot on one of the thirty-six futons closest to the front row, where he sat down cross-legged.

Many beings have already arrived here. Those who have reached the front row are all of the ancient freak level. They arrived early but did not make any rash moves or try to trespass on the Immortal Cave. They were waiting for other supreme experts to arrive so that they could work together to open it.

On the other side, beneath the magnificent floating island, Qin Hao arrived. After overcoming numerous hardships and dangers, he finally set foot in this unparalleled place of opportunity.

"Dual-Bone Supreme?"

Many people had heard of his reputation and all showed awe, not daring to provoke him.

However, some people don't care, considering them all to be of the same caliber as ancient freaks.

All the cultivators on the floating island were looking up. Before them was a staircase made of jade, stretching upwards. Following this staircase would lead them to the floating island.

Standing at the foot of the island, you can clearly see the scene on the island. Sacred herbs are everywhere, and you can even see several divine herbs. They are all rare treasures in the world, which can only be encountered by chance.

For these ancient oddballs who needed a lot of resources, this was undoubtedly an invaluable treasure trove, and Qin Hao was very tempted.

Afterwards, the cultivators set off, climbing up the jade steps in an attempt to reach the island and collect the herbs.

Little did they know, this was a shocking and extraordinary scheme, with a great opportunity right before their eyes, seemingly within their grasp. At this moment, even if they were told that there was danger ahead, it would not stop them.

On Shi Hao's side, more than twenty people had arrived on the thirty-six futons. Following Shi Hao, another ancient freak—the Dragon Girl—had arrived. Seeing that the number of people was about right, everyone decided to immediately begin their assault on the Immortal Cave.

Inside an ancient hall, the banished immortal watched all this with a smile on his face. He knew that the moment to close the net was about to arrive.

However, to his surprise, a piercing tearing sound suddenly emanated from the void of the ancient palace, and a spatial rift appeared. Then, a tall figure with unparalleled power stepped out from it.

"finally found you."
