The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils

Upstream of the "river of time," all of the dozen or so creatures showed expressions of shock.

What did they see?
Jin Hao, the seventh-ranked figure on the Supreme Heavenly Ranking, at the pinnacle of the Extreme Dao, and the most dazzling genius in the human realm of the Golden Crow clan, was actually injured by an unknown figure at the Supreme Dao realm, causing him to shed Golden Crow blood.

This is incredible.

Lin Ni's mouth was slightly open, her eyes fixed on Shi Yi, her mind replaying the nonsensical things he had just said.

At the time, she thought the creature was too arrogant, but now it seems she was too arbitrary.

However, the difference between the Supreme Being and the Pinnacle of the Ultimate Path is not even a fraction, and they are not comparable at all. No one would think that Shi Yi is Jin Hao's opponent.

As the people at the very top of the pyramid of the supreme realm, the beings at the upper reaches of the "River of Time" are extremely shrewd. After a brief moment of shock, they quickly regained their composure, but their hearts were still churning with turmoil.

They knew Jin Hao's strength. Although he was ranked seventh, the top ten beings were all about the same, so it was hard to say who was stronger or weaker. They had never really fought to the death against each other.

They don't really care about the rankings; as long as they're in the top ten, it doesn't matter who's number one.

It's unimaginable that someone as powerful as Jin Hao could suffer a loss at the hands of an Extreme Dao Supreme. They simply couldn't have done it.

This can only mean one thing: the newcomer downstream is incredibly powerful and has astonishing potential.

When he reaches the Supreme Realm, he can already contend with the most outstanding individuals at the pinnacle of the Extreme Realm. Once he reaches the pinnacle of the Extreme Realm, what will become of him? He will surely sweep them all away.

Thinking of this, everyone's gaze became more solemn than ever before, and all their previous contempt vanished completely.

Jin Hao stared at his injured finger, where there was a clearly visible crack, blazing with golden light and tinged with blood.

"Buzz!"

The fire of the golden crow burned, erasing the wound.

His gaze was cold and imposing as he looked down at Shi Yi downstream.

"No one has hurt me for many years. You are the first." Jin Hao said indifferently, his feathers flaming up with terrifying flames, his killing intent overflowing, causing everything in the void to freeze.

Downstream, Shi Yi sneered, his double pupils gleaming, within which endless feathers danced; upon closer inspection, one would discover that they were symbols.

"Today we will not only hurt you, but also suppress you and drag you down from your pedestal."

"You've been in the top ten of the so-called Heavenly Ranking for too long, too comfortably. It's time to go down there and reflect on your actions," Shi Yi replied coldly.

"Interesting. Let me see if your words are tougher or your abilities are tougher," Jin Hao said softly, maintaining his superior attitude.

Despite the setback Shi Yi had just dealt him, he remained confident in his invincibility, because he hadn't used his full strength at all.

As a descendant of the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor, he represents the pride of the Golden Crow clan and cannot afford to lose under any circumstances.

"boom!"

Golden crow feathers fell from Jin Hao's body, each one terrifyingly powerful, enveloped in the raging flames of the golden crow, some even stained with blood.

Without a doubt, this was a forbidden strike. Having been injured by Shi Yi and lost face, he no longer intended to hold back and test the waters. He wanted to end the battle quickly and crush his opponent in the most dominant way.

"Ten Thousand Golden Crow Swords".

Jin Hao let out a low shout, his magical power surging within him. He held nothing back, determined to achieve victory in one strike.

Countless golden crow feathers stood taut, flames billowed, and the sound of swords rang out. This was a terrifying sword technique, and the overflowing killing intent shocked heaven and earth and made ghosts and gods weep. Even Shi Yi, who was far downstream, felt a chill run down his spine.

His gaze was solemn. After all, there was a difference in their cultivation levels. His opponent was no ordinary peak cultivator, so he was not so easy to suppress.

"Crack!"

A loud whooshing sound filled the air as countless golden feather swords converged into a torrent, surging downwards from the upper reaches of the "River of Time." Had this place not been extraordinary, solid, and indestructible, it would likely have already caused a cataclysmic upheaval.

This strike was enough to shatter a vast universe and annihilate galaxies.

There was no other color in Shi Yi's eyes, only a blazing gold that filled every inch of his vision.

His face was expressionless, but his eyes were swirling. He opened his palm, where chaotic energy permeated the air, and a nine-leaf sword grass with green leaves took root.

The next moment, the power of ascension overflowed from between Shi Yi's five fingers, and various forces such as time, space, fate, and cause and effect emerged, enveloping the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass.

"laugh!"

The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass stirred, surging upwards at a visible speed, growing vigorously and constantly transforming, accompanied by sacred feathers, as if it were ascending to immortality.

Nine sword-shaped leaves swayed, unleashing endless sword energy that could easily slice through the universe, terrifying to the extreme.

The boundless sword energy collided head-on with the 100,000 Golden Crow Swords. Instantly, golden light shone brightly, and countless explosions and deafening roars resounded.

In the end, the 100,000 Golden Crow Swords subsided, and the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass was reduced to only roots and stems, completely exhausted.

What? A draw?

The dozen or so creatures upstream were secretly surprised. If Jin Hao had been careless and accidentally let the other party gain an advantage with that last finger strike, then there was no excuse for this.

Their levels were not much different, so it was obvious that Jin Hao was using all his strength. Although it wasn't to the point of fighting desperately, Shi Yi, who was downstream, was quite composed.

Everyone was astonished. Where did this monster come from?

It's not surprising that they are capable of defying the odds; they are the representatives of this kind of practice. They can far surpass their peers in every realm, and even those with higher cultivation levels are not necessarily their match.

However, no one has ever dared to challenge them, because they represent the "ultimate" and the "top". Now, a young man has emerged out of nowhere and even defeated the descendants of the Golden Crow Emperor. This is simply astonishing.

"Humph!"

Although Jin Hao was surprised, he still snorted coldly and planned to use the real forbidden method.

He exuded the power of time, as if he were taking people back to an ancient era. Behind him, an ancient sun tree rose from the ground, radiating golden light, and on the sun tree stood a golden crow.

Various bizarre scenes appeared around the ancient tree of the sun: there was the image of a Celestial King dying tragically with his head cut off, there was the terrifying scene of gods and demons falling from the heavens and Celestial Kings falling from the sky, and the most terrifying was a beam of light that represented the fall of a Quasi-Celestial Emperor.

"When the golden crow cries, the emperor's reign ends!"

Jin Hao spoke heavily, his voice carrying a demonic quality, as if he were trying to drag Shi Yi into that terrifying era filled with bloodshed and the bizarre.

Shi Yi, who was downstream, swayed as he sensed a strange power descending upon him.

He himself possessed this secret technique and naturally knew its characteristics; once unleashed, it could descend from afar.

This was a terrifying blow from a descendant of the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor. If it were an ordinary Supreme Being, they would probably be dead by now.

However, Shi Yi withstood it. Although his body swayed and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, he was unharmed. A light of ascension erupted from his body, expelling the secret power from his body. Then, his eyes shone brightly, covered with symbols, transforming into two dazzling suns.

There was a "clang" sound.

Two immortal swords fell, crashing into the void. One was Taiyin, and the other was Taiyang, which crossed into a cross and slashed upwards in reverse.

The Taiyin and Taiyang swords were with Shi Yi one moment and then suddenly appeared in front of Jin Hao the next.

"The Way of Space?"

Jin Hao was taken aback. He tried to react, but it was too late.

At this moment, space and time froze, heaven and earth stood still, and only the two immortal swords, Taiyin and Taiyang, moved, crossing and slashing towards Jin Hao.

"laugh!"

A crisp shattering sound rang out as Jin Hao was struck by the attack, nearly causing the immortal sword to pierce through his body. Golden crow blood spurted from the horrifying wound, a truly tragic sight.

If his Golden Crow Bones had not undergone unimaginable tempering, they would have been cut into four pieces by Shi Yi by now.

"you……"

Jin Hao coughed up blood incessantly, his face filled with shock and anger. As a descendant of the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor, he had been attacked from below and severely injured. If this were to get out, it would be unimaginable.

"Seventh on the Heavenly Ranking is nothing special," Shi Yi shook his head.

He no longer lingered downstream, but took small steps into the realm of "the long river of time".

This "river of time" is of unknown origin, almost indistinguishable from the real thing. If Shi Yi hadn't been so knowledgeable about the ways of time, he might not have been able to tell the difference.

The most elite beings in the Supreme Realm have gathered here to compete on the "River of Time." Is it a race, or is there something at the source of the "River of Time" that they are vying for?

Shi Yi didn't know, but it didn't matter. He had stepped into this long river, which meant he had also joined the ranks of those fighting to cross it, and he would go and see for himself.

However, before that, he had to suppress the Golden Crow to establish his authority. Without proving his strength, how could someone with the cultivation of an Extreme Dao Supreme be qualified to stand here?
"boom!"

Jin Hao went berserk, using the Heavenly Emperor's secret technique to heal his own injuries while launching an overwhelming attack on Shi Yi, who was moving upwards against the current.

Shi Yi remained silent, his body radiating boundless immortal light. With each step he took, a layer of feathers would fall from his body, and his aura would grow even stronger. Facing Jin Hao's attacks, he swung his fists, using the Feather Transformation Technique to sweep across the myriad realms.

The spectators were all shocked. This creature was too powerful. Even with its cultivation level at a great disadvantage, it could still display such an invincible posture and even showed the potential to overthrow Jin Hao.

"Roar!"

Jin Hao roared to the sky. He realized that his attacks could not stop Shi Yi's advance. If he waited for the opponent to accumulate momentum and kill his way to the top, it would be very disadvantageous for him. It would be better to take the initiative and charge forward from a high position.

"kill!"

Jin Hao roared, and the blood of the Golden Crow burned fiercely. A pair of Golden Crow wings emitted chaotic light, aiming to destroy everything in its way.

Shi Yizhi used his own magic, and every punch he threw could unleash a power that surpassed the peak and the limit. In the process of transcending, he sublimated to the extreme, accompanied by fate and cause and effect, as if he wanted to break through time and space and see eternity.

The two met in the middle of the "river of time" and immediately began to fight. In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere and the void was destroyed.

Shi Yi activated his double pupils to the extreme, unleashing a burst of blazing immortal light that predicted and captured every move of his opponent.

Jin Hao was on the defensive. He was horrified to discover that his pride in close combat was no match for this human. Instead, he was constantly restrained and severely suppressed.

"puff!"

His shoulder was struck by Shi Yi's fist, instantly turning it into a bloody mess, revealing the bone that gleamed with golden light.

Immediately following, Shi Yi launched a fierce and relentless attack. His ascension technique was unparalleled, sweeping across all directions and sweeping away all obstacles. Jin Hao was unable to withstand it and was knocked to pieces on the spot.

"what…"

Jin Hao shouted, unable to accept this outcome, and once again solidified his body, charging towards Shi Yi.

This time, it was another crushing defeat; he was still no match for them.

In the end, Jin Hao gave a bitter laugh, accepting reality.

He stopped attacking, instead gathering the severed limbs and blood in the void. Without looking back, he rushed downstream and left the place. After such a crushing defeat, how could he possibly stay any longer?
Shi Yi did not stop him.

Suppressing them is enough; there's no need to kill them. Jin Hao is a descendant of the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor.

Although it won't be long before the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor becomes history and falls in the Little Emperor's Fall, it's best not to offend this clan before then.

Defeating Jin Hao was not considered an offense, because he was acting against the grain and possessed genuine strength. The Golden Crow Clan could not say anything after learning about this battle.

"hiss!"

A collective gasp of astonishment echoed from the upper reaches of the "River of Time."

This battle was far too shocking for them. Jin Hao, who was ranked seventh on the Heavenly Ranking and was not much different from them, was so utterly defeated by an Extreme Dao Supreme. If this were to be told, probably no one would believe it.

But that's the fact; it happened, and they witnessed it firsthand.

"May I ask which great master you are, fellow Daoist? We were blind and neglected you just now," a being said.

Everyone's attitude has changed, from initial skepticism, underestimation, and condescension to current goodwill and apprehension, all because Shi Yi has demonstrated absolute strength.

In this battle, he used all his strength without holding back, except for the vertical eye between his eyebrows, which was the Eye of Chaos, a power that could shake the world. It was Shi Yi's trump card, and he would not open it easily.

Such dominance naturally led him to be considered the apprentice of some powerful figure.

Shi Yi truthfully told the reporter that he was not a disciple of any powerful immortal king.

This answer shocked the beings present even more. To have reached this level through self-cultivation was something even the most elite beings felt ashamed of.

Lin Ni also chatted with Shi Yi for a while.

"Fellow Daoist Shi is truly remarkable, having pioneered an unprecedented system. If my grandfather were to see such an extraordinary being as you, he would surely admire you from the bottom of his heart," Lin Ni murmured.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, is there any news about your grandfather, that is, the Heavenly Emperor?" Shi Yi asked with a thought.

Lin Ni's beautiful eyes flickered. This was a closely guarded secret that shouldn't be told to others, but after thinking about it, she still revealed the truth.

"There's news. Grandfather didn't say much, just sent word that he'll be returning soon." (End of Chapter)
