Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 847 Will and Divine Eye

A vast area suddenly trembled, and large amounts of broken rocks and land collapsed and rolled in all directions. Gradually, a dark green shadow emerged from the ground.

It was hideous, somewhat resembling a dark green toad.

There is an eye on every part of the skin; a glance reveals a thousand eyes.

Each eye emitted a beam of golden light, which shot out in all directions, but only traveled hundreds of millions of kilometers before dissipating.

After letting out a howl, the thousand-eyed beast said, "It's been such a long, long time. I've finally been reborn. Sergeant, I will deal with you very, very slowly. The longer you last... the happier I'll be. On this sixth floor of the Wuqi Tower, it's so incredibly rare to encounter a single living being."

Bai Yang looked at him, his heart calm and undisturbed.

This level tests one's agility, and given his skill level, it's the easiest to pass.

The next moment, thousands of swords, each about 30 kilometers long, vaguely formed a battle formation and slashed at him.

These swords are all telekinetic weapons, and their normal speed exceeds the movement speed of a strong person. With such a large number of them, they are enough to easily kill a strong person of the same level.

But after only two rounds of attacks, the thousands of beasts stared wide-eyed at Bai Yang, their faces filled with disbelief.

With the gentle trembling of the Cloud Wings behind Bai Yang, he appeared to be in a dreamlike state, seemingly real yet illusory.

No matter how many swords he unleashed, they didn't hit anything at all.

The opponent didn't even make a move to draw their sword to defend!

Thousand Eyes began to wonder if he was under an illusion. Was the soldier in front of him really not just an image?

"A Thousand-Eyed Light of the Heart!"

He was indignant and immediately unleashed his strongest move!

In an instant, thousands of battle swords were divided into hundreds of groups, with ten swords in each group working together ingeniously, causing their power to increase more than tenfold.

Each set of battle blades covers all directions—up, down, left, right, front, and back—and even a god's body shrunk to its smallest size would be struck!

If it's a real object, there's no reason why it shouldn't be hit!

clang!

The sound of weapons clashing rang out.

Finally, I hit the target!

Before Qianyan could even rejoice, he saw a white sword circle appear out of thin air beside Baiyang, protecting him inside.

Each of his battle swords was shattered before it even got close, thanks to a wisp of sword energy that emerged from the sword circle!

"He figured out the key to operating each of my sets of swords!?"

Hundreds of combinations of swords create hundreds of openings.

A soldier of the Lord of Laws can actually use combat skills to forcibly cover these targets?!

To test this, their energies were kept at roughly the same level, yet such a one-sided situation occurred!

The Thousand-Eyed Beast quickly realized that the sword energy unleashed by the opponent was at most at the seventh level.

How could someone who managed to get this far not possess an eighth-tier secret technique?

The soldiers of the mountains and seas still have a lot of spare strength that they haven't used yet!

"Sergeant, you are indeed formidable. I cannot defeat you. You are truly the strongest sergeant I have ever encountered... Perhaps, you can reach the top of Wuqi Tower." The dark green thousand-eyed beast suddenly burrowed into the earth with a thunderous roar and disappeared from Bai Yang's sight.

Bai Yang chuckled inwardly as he watched his actions.

Three thousand years later, Luo Feng will still have to provoke you.

A beam of light descended, and the seventh floor of Wuqi Tower was once again a world of ice. Not far from it was a nearly transparent ice mountain range.

A chilling aura rippled through the air, and then a gigantic single eye began to appear.

The divine eye emitted a hazy golden light, enveloping the area below and also Bai Yang.

"Soldier Shan Hai." The aged voice resounded directly in his mind, "If you pass the test of the Divine Eye, you can enter the eighth floor of Wu Qi Tower... That eighth floor will be the final obstacle for you to reach the top of Wu Qi Tower."

boom!!!

The hazy golden light high in the sky suddenly burst forth with a powerful surge of will, rushing towards him.

Before the light screen, four commanders watched this scene unfold.

"The Divine Eye Secret Technique is a secret technique created by His Majesty the God King," said the Black Mist Commander. "It is a special attack method. In my Jin World, only those who have been granted a title, made special contributions, or have great potential will be bestowed with it. And even then, only a portion of the Divine Eye Secret Technique will be granted."

"Yes, in this Wuqi Tower, six soldiers once made it to the seventh floor. Five of them failed, and one successfully entered the eighth floor. Of those six... the worst one hadn't even finished learning the first volume of the 'Divine Eye Secret Technique,' and the best one had only learned three volumes."

"I wonder how many volumes of military strategy the soldiers can learn!"

Bai Yang endured a tremendous shock to his will, while looking towards the nearly transparent iceberg in the distance.

Ancient characters have begun to emerge, densely filling the belly of that iceberg.

The text begins with the title "Secret Techniques of the Divine Eye, Volume One," followed by the detailed content.

At this moment, the impact of the True God's ultimate will had no effect on Bai Yang, and he instantly memorized everything.

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

"One's will must reach the level of a Void True God before one can begin cultivation; ordinary people really can't learn it."

The divine eye high in the sky contained an ever-increasing surge of will, surpassing the limits of a true god and continuing to rise.

The first volume of the Divine Eye Secret Technique was very long, and it took a long time before it was completely finished, revealing all its contents.

At this moment, text appeared on the belly of another iceberg in the distance: Volume Two!

Bai Yang flew directly over and began to memorize the contents.

His flying movements were relaxed and effortless, as if he hadn't felt any impact on his will at all.

The third, fourth, fifth... and before you know it, the sixth volume begins!

Bai Yang could sense that as the impact of his will intensified, the speed at which the Divine Eye Secret Technique manifested also increased.

At this moment, the intensity of the will-shaking impact is probably approaching the limit of a true god in the void!

An invisible mountain seemed to be pressing down on his will, making him feel as if his thinking speed had been drastically reduced.

However, despite the intense pressure here and the stimulation from the image of the Ten Thousand Touch Dragon Prince, he remained sufficiently clear-headed.

Before him, the contents of Volume Seven were slowly unfolding.

At this moment, the impact of will surged dramatically! In an instant, it surpassed the limits of a true god of the void!

Immense pain began to descend upon him, and he controlled the burning of all his divine power, striving to keep himself from fainting.

This is not just for the sake of the "Divine Eye Secret Technique," but also for honing my skills.

The will gradually strengthens at the black-veined stone pillar, making it difficult to push a person into a desperate situation.

The next moment, just as he felt he was about to lose consciousness, a beam of light fell and carried him away from the spot.

The four commanders looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

"His Majesty the God-King only taught us the first six volumes. This 'Military Warriors and Mountains' series, and we've already read half of the seventh volume!"

"This should be the will of an Eternal True God. Why hasn't his will undergone a transformation?"

"It's so strange. He has such a strong will, yet he was still judged to have failed."

Bai Yang was faced with nothing but emptiness. The discomfort in his soul still lingered, and he felt a pang of annoyance.

"My willpower is barely holding up, but I still can't advance."

Not far from him was a small, floating landmass, where some characters were emerging.

"The eighth floor of Wuqi Tower is the final hurdle in the title-granting quest."

"By observing the surrounding void, one can obtain a secret technique."

"If you can master it, you can ascend to the ninth floor of Wuqi Tower."

"If you fail, erase your memories and leave Wuqi Tower."
