Gaze and you will become stronger: starting from Doupo

"Roar--"

The figure of the girl with double pupils twisted in the chaos. She first turned into a phantom of a Bi'an, with a human body and a dog's head, bone spurs on its back, and a black flame a meter high spurted out of its mouth. In the blink of an eye, she turned into a Qilin, and her scales flashed with platinum light. When she stepped on the void, star-like light spots splashed out. Finally, she turned into a real dragon, with black and white lightning wrapped around its body. Every swing of its dragon whiskers tore through space, revealing the deep universe and starry sky behind it.

"Is this... the aura of the Ten Evils of Antiquity?" The old cultivator who was watching the battle below changed color in horror, "The girl with double pupils can actually imitate the appearance of the Ten Evils?" Everyone was shocked to realize that every time the girl with double pupils transformed, the aura on her body was consistent with the legendary ancient evil creatures. The destructive way of the Bi'an, the auspicious way of the Qilin, and the imperial way of the True Dragon were actually forcibly merged into one by her using the Chaos Realm as a furnace.

The moment Jiang Han's fist touched the dragon's claws, it made a crisp sound like metal clashing. He could feel that each of the opponent's attacks was wrapped in different laws of power. The previous moment was the fire of karma that corroded space, and the next moment was the auspicious air that solidified time. This irregular collision of laws forced him to devote more energy to analyzing the power structure.

"In this chaotic world, I am invincible." The voice of the girl with double pupils came from all directions, and the body of a real dragon turned into a golden sun and rose into the sky. "No matter how strong your spatial force is, it is just a law in this chaos. How can it contend with the entire world?"

At the moment when the golden sun fell, the phantom of the spiral fruit behind Jiang Han suddenly burst into a dazzling blue light. The spectators then noticed that the phantom was not a simple fruit projection, but a three-dimensional structure woven by countless space nodes, and each thread corresponded to a different space law.

"So that's it..." Shi Zhongtian suddenly realized, "His power does not come from the spiritual energy of the cultivation world, but from another completely different energy system." This energy uses the "fruit" as a carrier, concretizes the laws of space, and forms a power circuit independent of the cultivation system. At this moment, the phantom of the fruit rotated at high speed, forming a spiral space barrier around Jiang Han, dissolving the power of the falling sun layer by layer.

"burst!"

Jiang Han's fist blasted out with ripples of spatial resonance. It seemed like an ordinary blow, but it triggered a chain reaction the moment it touched the sun. The entire chaotic realm suddenly trembled violently, and eight spatial cracks spread from the center of the fist, as if a complete map was torn into eight pieces. Everyone was shocked to realize that Jiang Han's seemingly random punch actually contained the eight trigrams and forcibly divided the chaotic realm with the power of space.

“This is... the Postnatal Eight Trigrams?” A cultivator who was familiar with the ancient formations exclaimed, “He can actually evolve the formation with the power of space?” The eight major space areas each showed different law attributes: Qian was covered with ice for thousands of miles, Kun was boiling earth, Zhen was roaring thunder, Xun was howling winds… The golden sun of the girl with double pupils was trapped in the Dui area, surrounded by countless mirror-like space fragments, each of which reflected the sun's light, forming a "mirror maze" that trapped the formation.

"How is it possible..." The girl with double pupils changed her appearance in the mirror array, but found that no matter what form she changed into, her attacks would be rebounded by the mirror, and each rebound would weaken her strength by 30%. She was shocked to realize that Jiang Han's spatial power had already surpassed simple destruction, and formed a complete system of laws, as if turning the entire battlefield into his "home court".

Jiang Han stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the girl with double pupils struggling in the mirror array, his tone carrying a bit of pity: "Do you think the Chaos Realm is the invincible law of heaven and earth? But in the eyes of a true master of the laws, any realm is nothing more than a collection of analyzable laws." He raised his hand and waved lightly, and the mirror surface of the Dui position suddenly shattered, the golden sun lost its support, and fell into the out-of-position fire area.

"what--"

As the girl with double pupils screamed, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the sun. Jiang Han showed his true strength: he did not simply use the power of space, but combined the "vibration" characteristics of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit with the law of space to form a "law crusher" that could resonate with all laws. At this moment, the dislocated fire law was vibrated to an overclocked state and began to burn itself, and the law structure of the golden sun was on the verge of collapse.

“So that’s how it is…” The girl with double pupils finally understood on the verge of collapse, “Your power is not to destroy space, but the frequency of the law of vibration. When the frequency reaches the critical point, any law will break like a guitar string…” Her voice gradually became weaker, and the power of the sun turned into countless rune fragments, falling like autumn leaves.

The moment the spatial ripples turned into a big hand that grabbed the double-pupiled girl's neck, Shi Yi's roar came from below. The eyes of the young man who had lost the Supreme Bone were red at this moment, and the bone marks left on his chest emitted a strange white light - that was the causal mark left when the Supreme Bone was transplanted that year, and at this moment it was stimulated by anger, forming a mental shock that spanned space.

"Be careful!" Shi Zhongtian exclaimed, but saw Jiang Han casually waved his hand, and a space ripple dissipated Shi Yi's impact into nothingness. What was even more amazing was that the dissipated white light actually returned to the original path and condensed into a crystal bone fragment in front of Shi Yi's chest, which was the fragment of the supreme bone that was dug out that year.

"Karma will always come true." Jiang Han's voice was a little cold. "Your mother killed a child to take his bones, so you have to endure the pain of broken bones. But considering that you are still young, I will leave you a chance to live." Before he finished speaking, the bone fragment turned into a stream of light and sank into Shi Yi's body. The boy fell to his knees with a scream, but the wound on his chest healed at a speed visible to the naked eye - this was the mercy that Jiang Han left in the law of cause and effect.

The girl with double pupils looked at this scene with a complex expression in her eyes. She suddenly remembered that in ancient times, she had used all means to pursue the great Dao, and even killed fellow practitioners with her own hands. At this moment, she was suppressed by the power of space and could not use her healing ability. Instead, she saw her obsession clearly: the so-called "fighting against aliens" was just an excuse to cover up the desire to kill.

“Why… did you spare my life?” The woman with double pupils spoke in a weak but firm voice, “With your strength, you can definitely kill me.”

Jiang Han stared into her eyes and suddenly let go of her hand. The girl with double pupils fell to the ground, but found that the space suppression around her had been quietly lifted. She looked up in surprise, only to see Jiang Han looking at the mountains in the distance, with a look of vicissitudes that transcended time and space: "Because I have seen your future."

"future?"

“That’s right.” Jiang Han turned around, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, revealing the star track pattern on the lining. “You were supposed to die in an alien invasion three thousand years later, and your soul was refined into a blood lamp. But after today, your causal line has been rewritten.” He raised his hand and waved it gently, and countless scenes appeared in front of the girl with double pupils: she rebuilt the sect in the ruins, accepted disciples with outstanding talents, and finally, when the alien army approached, she used the power of her double pupils to ignite the stars and illuminate the entire battlefield...

"This is..." The girl with double pupils was shocked. These scenes were so real, as if they were memories she had personally experienced. "I am not from this world." Jiang Han's voice was as calm as water. "To me, you are all characters in the book. But characters also have the right to choose - you can choose to continue to indulge in killing, or you can choose to become the light that illuminates the future."

When the first rays of morning light shone on the eaves of the Wuwang Mansion, Jiang Han's figure had become transparent. The girl with double pupils was surprised to find that his body was turning into countless points of light, each of which contained complex laws of space.

"Remember, true invincibility does not come from defeating others, but from defeating your own obsession." Jiang Han's voice came from the void, "Little Stone still has a long way to go. What he needs is not an invincible master, but a guide who can help him realize the truth."

Before he finished speaking, all the light spots gathered into a golden fruit, floating above the little boy's head. The boy curiously reached out to touch it, and the fruit turned into a stream of light and sank into his forehead. At the same time, the girl with double pupils felt that her injuries were healing. The Dao patterns that were shattered by the power of space began to reorganize under the influence of some mysterious force, forming a more stable structure.

"This is..." She felt the surging vitality in her body, and suddenly realized that this was the opportunity Jiang Han left for her - to use the power of the fruit to rebuild her foundation, giving her the opportunity to break through the bottleneck that she had not been able to overcome in ancient times.

In the distance, the morning bell rang. The girl with double pupils looked at the little one jumping and running towards Shi Zhongtian, and suddenly smiled with relief. She knew that a new era was opening, and she would meet the upcoming challenges with a brand new attitude.

Three years later, a mysterious woman appeared on the border of the Stone Country. She was dressed in gray, with black and white light flowing in her pupils. It was said that she could see through people's hearts with the power of her double pupils, and could switch between multiple laws and magical powers in battle. She was called the "Chaos Fairy" by the people.

At the same time, a legend about a man named "Jiang" spread in the world of cultivation. Some said he was an ancient cultivator, some said he was a demon from outside the realm, and some said he was the incarnation of the way of heaven. But all witnesses had one consensus: his power was like space itself, invisible and formless, yet omnipresent.

In a corner unknown to everyone, the little boy touched the star pattern on his forehead, with curiosity flashing in his eyes. He knew that one day, he would meet the mysterious master again and set foot on the unknown sky battlefield again.

The wind swept across the grassland, stirring up a cloud of dust. In the reflection of the dust, a huge ship could be vaguely seen sailing in the starry sky. The spiral pattern on the sail echoed the star pattern between the little guy's eyebrows. On a deck, Jiang Han looked at the crystal ball in his hand, which reflected the scene of the Stone Kingdom. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and whispered softly:
“The story has just begun.”

Wind chimes carved from three thousand years of black ice hang from the eaves of the bronze animal heads of the Wuwang Mansion. Each piece of ice crystal is engraved with the fragments of the "Taichu Pidi Jing". When the sixteenth morning bell smashed the dark clouds in the sky, the seventh ice crystal suddenly burst, and the broken light pierced into Shi Yi's pupils like a needle. He stared at Jiang Han on the top of the gilded palace three hundred steps away, and a taste of rust rose in his throat - that was the side effect of swallowing "Burning Heart Powder" for seven consecutive nights. This poison made of red-scaled snake gall and ghost face flower juice can stimulate the potential of the Supreme Bone in a short period of time, but the price is to burn through the three souls and seven spirits.

"Yier, wait a little longer." The voice of the girl with double pupils came from behind. She leaned on the jade railing, and three of the nine-colored life-extending threads wrapped around her fingertips had broken. This woman, known as "the first divine fortune teller in the wilderness", looked even paler than the jade bottle in her hand. The three drops of ancient phoenix blood in the bottle were what she exchanged for half her life from the demon realm. "The sky shows that it is three quarters past the hour of Si."

"Mother always says the time has not come yet!" Shi Yi suddenly turned around, the Yin-Yang fish pattern in his pupils trembled violently, and the blue bricks on the ground cracked. The collar of his shirt was soaked with cold sweat, revealing a light golden birthmark - that was the sign of the awakening of the Supreme Bone. "Three years ago, you said you would wait for me to condense the three flowers, and three years later you said you would comprehend the "Northern Dipper Refining Spirit Art". Now Jiang Han, that old thief, wants to return the Supreme Bone to Shi Hao. What do you want me to wait for?!"

The girl with double pupils started to cough violently, and another life-extending thread broke: "Do you know why the Supreme Bone is called 'Heaven's Relic'? It was originally created when chaos first began."

"Enough!" Shi Yi tore open his collar, revealing the light golden bone patterns on his heart. The patterns were spreading to his neck at a speed visible to the naked eye. "When my mother was blinded by them, did anyone talk about the Great Dao of Chaos? When my father was nailed to the 'Ten Thousand Bones Platform' and dried into jerky, did anyone say that the time was not right?" He suddenly grabbed the bronze candlestick on the railing and smashed it against his chest.

"No!" When the girl with double pupils realized it, the tip of the candlestick had already pierced her skin, but sparks flew out the moment it touched the bone pattern. Shi Yi looked at the golden blood oozing out of his palm and suddenly smiled - this was the third time that the Supreme Bone refused his suicide, just like it refused to return to Shi Hao's body three years ago. He licked the blood on his fingertips, the sweet and fishy taste was accompanied by the heat of thunder, which was the breath of the ancient Supreme.

At three quarters past the hour of Si, the sundial needle in the Gilded Hall pointed precisely to the "punishment" position.

Jiang Han stood with his hands behind his back, the twenty-eight constellations on his black Taoist robe glowing faintly. Behind him, Shi Zhongtian was polishing his mace with a black iron chain, and every time he polished it, the "Dragon Trapping Curse" on the chain would light up. The god of war, known as the "No. 1 Warrior in the Wilderness", had Shi Yi's figure reflected in his pupils at this moment, like a hungry wolf staring at a lamb.

"Shi Yi, do you know what the crime is for obstructing the 'return of bones to their original owners'?" Jiang Han's voice was like an icy spring soaking through a bronze bell, clear and cold, "According to Article 37 of the Great Wilderness Law..."

"Don't fool people with those broken rules!" Shi Yi stepped on the last three steps, and the yin and yang fish in his pupils suddenly merged into one, turning into a blood-red round sun. "Today, either you die or I die!" The bone patterns on his chest suddenly lit up, and his whole body seemed to have turned into translucent glass. One could see a golden ball of light beating in the position of his heart - that was the "Tao Seed" in the core of the Supreme Bone.

The monks watching the scene gasped. Someone recognized that this was the forbidden technique of "Reversing Yin and Yang Pupils", which required the blood from the heart to forcibly raise one's realm by three small levels, but the price was the destruction of the meridians. The girl with double pupils covered her mouth, and the phoenix blood on her fingertips dripped onto the blue bricks, burning black lines, like a dying phoenix. (End of this chapter)
