Chapter 5: Lu Ming Makes His First Appearance at Number 9 on the List of Rare Treasures!
"Resurrection..."
Gu Yuena murmured to herself, her voice trembling slightly.
yes.
Since things like soul power level and soul ring age can be increased at will, then reversing life and death seems... not entirely impossible!
At the thought of this, Gu Yuena's heart began to pound uncontrollably.
The image of that person who haunted her dreams resurfaced in her mind once again.
"husband..."
Gu Yuena unconsciously clenched her fists, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
"You wait for me."
"If there is truly a rare treasure on this list that can revive you, I will retrieve it for you at any cost!"
"I will definitely... resurrect you!"
At that moment, her gaze became incredibly resolute.
However, the moment she made up her mind, the golden sky above underwent another dramatic change.
Golden light surged and converged, and a brand new line of divine runes slowly condensed into shape, emanating a pressure even more vast than before!
[Ninth on the Douluo Continent Rare Treasures Ranking – The Evil Eye Pendant!]
The new announcement came into view of all living beings.
[Synopsis: This is a divine-grade ornament created by a being named Lu Ming in the Demon Forest of the Sun and Moon Continent after casually slaying the 700,000-year-old soul beast "Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord" and taking its pupil with his supreme power.]
[Master: Lu Ming!]
[Reward: A complete set of 100,000-year-old soul bones (six pieces in total, perfectly compatible!)]
As the text appeared, the imagery on the sky also changed.
A completely black, obsidian-carved eyeball-shaped pendant floats quietly in the center of the image.
It exudes a deep and mysterious light, as if it can devour all light. Just one glance is enough to make one's mind tremble, and one's soul is almost sucked in.
Next to the pendant, a dynamic video appeared.
In the scene, above the Demon Forest of the Sun and Moon Continent, a terrifying behemoth with a body that blots out the sky and is covered with countless scarlet eyes is letting out a roar powerful enough to tear the heavens apart.
For seven hundred thousand years, the evil-eyed tyrant has ruled!
Its aura made countless soul beasts on the Douluo Continent tremble!
However, the next second...
A figure in white appeared silently in front of it.
The figure's face was obscured, but its bearing was unparalleled and unique.
Faced with the devastating mental impact of the Evil Eye Tyrant, he simply raised one hand casually.
Then, gently pat down with your palm.
There was no earth-shattering roar, no devastating energy fluctuations.
The Evil Eye Tyrant, comparable to a Limit Douluo, shattered inch by inch under this palm strike, turning into countless points of light that completely dissipated into the world.
The whole process was effortless and serene, capturing the essence of a leisurely and carefree journey.
...
The Heavenly Dou Empire, outside the Jialing Pass.
The camp where Shrek and his group were located fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the images and words on the screen, their minds blank.
"Evil... Evil Eye Drop? Ninth place?"
Dai Mubai's voice was stammering, and his golden eyes were filled with shock.
"This...this piece of jewelry is ranked ahead of the Acacia Heartbreak Red?"
"A divine-level accessory? Or was it just something you casually crafted?"
"And what exactly is that ability?"
A series of exclamations finally broke the silence.
"Why?!"
Xiao Wu reacted the most strongly, her pretty face filled with resentment.
"How can something I casually crafted rank higher than my Acacia Heartbreak Red?!"
She trembled slightly with anger, and her long, shapely legs, which had just been baptized by divine light, involuntarily tensed, outlining breathtaking curves.
In her heart, the King of Immortal Herbs, which symbolized her love with Tang San, was unique and should never be outshone by such an ornament of unknown origin.
Zhu Zhuqing's usually cold eyes were now fixed on the black pendant in the sky, her gaze filled with a strange light.
"So beautiful...so powerful..."
She murmured unconsciously.
"If I could get it..."
As an agility-based Soul Master, she could clearly sense the terrifying power contained within the pendant.
"Isn't your focus a little off?"
Ning Rongrong's voice rang out, interrupting the discussion.
Her beautiful eyes sparkled with wisdom as she pointed to the name on the sky.
"Look closely, this ornament was made by a person named 'Lu Ming,' and he is also its owner!"
Who is this person?
One sentence was enough to enlighten everyone.
Dai Mubai frowned.
"Lu Ming? This name… I've never heard of it before."
"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's records have never documented such a powerful figure," Ning Rongrong added.
Tang Hao, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up.
His voice was hoarse and low, filled with an unprecedented solemnity.
"A casual craft... and it becomes a divine-level ornament, worthy of being listed on the Heavenly Treasures Ranking..."
Tang Hao's fist clenched quietly beneath his sleeve.
"I, Tang Hao, have devoted my life to the art of forging, yet I have never even touched the threshold of creating a divine artifact."
"And this person... did it just casually!"
"When did such an unfathomable figure appear on this continent?!"
Oscar looked completely bewildered.
"Wait a minute, what is that Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord? A 700,000-year-old soul beast? How come I've never heard of it before?"
Xiao Wu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her dissatisfaction, and her expression became serious.
"I haven't heard of it either, but that's not important."
"Most importantly, it's a 700,000-year-old soul beast!"
"You should know that Da Ming and Er Ming, who were once the emperors of the Star Dou Great Forest, were only 100,000-year-old soul beasts."
"The power of a 700,000-year-old soul beast is simply unimaginable!"
At this moment, Tang San's eyes became incredibly deep.
He remained silent, staring intently at the white-clad figure in the sky who had killed the Evil Eye Tyrant with a single palm strike.
After a long while, he slowly spoke, his voice carrying a dryness that he himself was unaware of.
"To be able to so easily annihilate a 700,000-year-old soul beast with a single palm strike..."
"This person's strength is at least that of a Limit Douluo who stands at the peak of level ninety-nine!"
"even..."
Tang San didn't continue.
But a huge storm was brewing in his heart.
Limit Douluo!
Throughout the entire continent, only three people—Poseidon, Tang Chen, and Qian Daoliu—have publicly reached this level.
Now, a mysterious powerhouse has suddenly appeared out of nowhere, whose strength may even surpass theirs!
"Lu Ming..."
Tang San imprinted this name deeply in his heart.
