Perfect World: Double Pupils Open the Heavens, Ascend to Immortality

Besides that, I'm also very curious about his strength. Rumor has it that this Xuan Yi is very powerful, but I don't know if that's really true.

Chapter 126 My Foolish Brother

"It's true. I saw it with my own eyes. His true form is at the King-level, known as the number one genius of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion. He once broke through the combined forces of a group of peak King-level warriors in the battle of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion and killed more than a dozen powerful enemies."

"There are many records he left behind in the Realm of the Void Gods, which are still difficult for any living being to break..." Shi Hao said solemnly, listing them one by one.

To be honest, he didn't want to join the girl in attacking Xuan Yi, since they were both disciples of the Butian Pavilion.

Xuan Yi deserves much credit for the survival of so many cultivators in the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, and Shi Hao has a deep affection for the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.

When they met at Yangyang Cave, he addressed Shi Yi as "Senior Brother," but now he turns around and launches a sneak attack. This is not Shi Hao's style.

Upon hearing this, the girl's face showed a thoughtful expression.

"So this guy is really not easy to deal with. However, you have the God-Slaying Stone in your hand, and you also have the ancient incantation that your sister taught you. If you take him by surprise, you will definitely catch him off guard. No matter how strong he is outside, he is only at the Spirit Transformation Realm at this moment."

"I don't believe he can withstand our combined attack." The girl said, waving her white fist.

However, Shi Hao shook his head.

"No, I can't attack him. Even though the Heaven-Mending Pavilion has been destroyed, he and I are still considered to be from the same sect."

Seeing that Shi Hao didn't seem to be joking, the girl changed her tune and stopped mentioning the robbery, instead changing the subject.

"I've heard that this Xuan Yi is a prodigy in the Xuan Domain, but as far as I know, there is no information about this being in the Xuan Domain, not even the slightest trace of him."

Who is his master? Why does he always wear a holeless mask? What kind of face is hidden beneath the mask? Aren't you curious about these things?" The girl coaxed, hoping to persuade Shi Hao to use the God-Slaying Stone, which would create an excellent opportunity for her to launch a sneak attack.

Not long ago, they stole the Kunpeng relics from the descendants of the Sea God in this very way.

Although the girl was only a spirit, she also coveted the famous Kunpeng Treasure Technique, as evidenced by her taking two relics from the descendants of the Sea God.

Now, Shi Yi has forcibly seized all the Kunpeng relics except for the Annihilation Alliance and the girl's spirit body. If she wants to obtain more, she can only start with Shi Yi.

"I am curious, but I will not attack Xuan Yi, nor will I lend you the God Stone."

"Besides, I think your ambush on him will cause a lot of trouble. If you insist on doing so, I'll just be a spectator." Shi Hao refused again. It was already quite good that he didn't expose the girl's intentions, after all, the two had just formed an alliance.

"Alright, then I'll have to do it myself. Whether or not I can succeed in robbing him, I'll at least take off his mask and feast my eyes on him, to see who this Xuan Yi, who has stirred up the winds and clouds of the desolate region and whose name has spread to other major regions, really is."

"I hope she's not an ugly monster." The girl smiled slightly, as if a celestial being had descended to earth, her beauty almost unreal.

Shi Hao remained silent. He kept his promise and stepped aside to watch the girl's performance.

Of course, he has his own principles. If the girl succeeds in her sneak attack, he will intervene to prevent her from harming Xuan Yi.

The girl's black dress fluttered in the wind, her long, slender, fair legs shimmering with a dazzling light. Her stunning figure was captivating. She was hidden in the void, ready to approach Shi Yi's back.

This time, she comes from the Upper Realm's Intercepting Heaven Sect, which corresponds to the Mending Heaven Sect. Both are ancient lineages and inheritances, and can be called behemoths even in the vast Upper Realm.

Shi Yi had already noticed the witch's spirit body and Shi Hao's presence, so he was naturally on guard.

At this moment, he had reached perfection in all realms, and he had absolute confidence in the Spirit Transformation Realm, capable of suppressing any opponent from the Kunpeng Nest.

Even if the witch was a holy maiden of the Upper Realm's Intercepting Heaven Sect, possessing great strength and mastering many ancient techniques, he was not afraid, let alone the fact that the newcomer was merely a spirit.

The girl in the black dress slowly approached, stopping only when she was at a suitable distance.

The next moment, she suddenly launched an attack. With a stretch of her jade arm, the world changed instantly, as if the universe had collapsed. A misty fog surged and pressed forward, instantly locking the Azure-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast and Shi Yi on its back into a void cage.

Above the cage, a phantom stone bead floated up and down, casting a vast ocean of power and laws upon it.

This is a projection of some kind of supreme treasure, possessing immense power. In the environment where the cultivation levels of all spirits are suppressed in the Kunpeng Nest, it represents an extreme realm.

If it weren't for the captivating nature of the Kunpeng relics and Xuan Yi's formidable strength and exceptionally brilliant record, the young woman wouldn't have so easily revealed such a trump card.

"Successful."

Upon seeing this, the girl's spirit smiled, and at the same time, the caution in her eyes slowly dissipated.

As the Holy Maiden of a top-tier power in the Upper Realm and a leader of the younger generation, her strength is undeniable. Descending to a barren land like the Eight Regions of the Lower Realm, she should be able to crush any enemy of the same level.

"I knew it. The rumors were exaggerated. No matter how strong the beings in the Eight Lower Realms are, they are still just beings from the Lower Realms." She murmured to herself, taking light steps to approach Shi Yi.

Seeing this from a distance, Shi Hao was somewhat incredulous. He had personally witnessed Xuan Yi entering and leaving the depths of the Yangyang Cave. How could someone so powerful be trapped by a mysterious girl with a single blow?

Who exactly is this girl? How come she's so fierce?

Seeing the girl in the black dress walk up to the cage, Shi Hao couldn't hold back any longer and was about to step forward to stop her and help Xuan Yi out of the predicament.

However, an unexpected change occurred. Neither the girl in the black dress nor Shi Hao had anticipated that the cage created by the terrifying stone bead projection would develop cracks and emit a chilling cracking sound.

Almost instantly, the crack spread throughout the entire cage.

Meanwhile, the girl in the black dress walked confidently to the cage, having completely let her guard down because of her absolute trust in the stone bead.

The sudden crack caught her off guard. Before the girl in the black dress could react, the cage created by the stone bead projection shattered with a crash, and terrifying chaotic energy surged out. Along with it came a terrifying giant hand, as fast as lightning, heading straight for the girl's snow-white neck.

"not good!"

The girl immediately snapped out of her euphoria and realized something was wrong.

She is no ordinary person, not comparable to ordinary geniuses; her reaction speed is beyond imagination.

Faced with Shi Yi's perfectly timed hand, she made a decisive move and spat out a stone bead in front of her. This was not her real body, but a projection, which was deeper than the one above the cage and possessed extremely powerful strength. It collided directly with Shi Yi's hand.

"Boom!"

This attack was earth-shattering, with terrifying shockwaves sweeping in all directions, causing even Shi Hao to change color slightly.

In the end, the stone bead projection was pierced by the giant hand, and some bright red blood flowed from Shi Yi's fingertips.

"Treasure Projection".

Shi Yi spoke softly, his face showing neither joy nor sorrow. The Holy Maiden of the Great Sect of the Upper Realm was indeed extraordinary.

However, this injury was nothing to him. Flames rose and burned fiercely, and all his wounds were completely healed.

The stone bead and the small tower were both familiar objects, so they were naturally not simple treasures. The fact that Shi Yi could forcibly destroy its projection was enough to demonstrate his strength.

"what?"

The girl in the black dress opened her mouth in an "o" shape, quite shocked by this scene. She knew very well how terrifying the stone bead was. Although its projection was suppressed inside the Kunpeng Nest, it was definitely not so easy to break. Even she couldn't do it. This Xuan Yi was far too terrifying.

At this moment, the girl in the black dress felt a strange sense of regret. She seemed to have provoked an extraordinary being. However, the allure of the Kunpeng Treasure Technique was undeniable, and she couldn't remain indifferent. Even if the hope was slim, she had to give it a try.

But now, she is destined to fail. Even her trump card has been shattered by the opponent. Her mere spiritual body can no longer stir up any waves.

At the same moment the stone bead projection shattered, the girl's expression turned serious. She had already prepared subsequent spells. She moved both arms simultaneously, forming numerous hand seals. Instantly, the atmosphere here changed, becoming mysterious and terrifying. An indescribable wave emanated from between her hands.

Without a sound, the girl in the black dress unleashed the ultimate divine power of the Intercepting Heaven Sect, a behemoth sect in the upper realm: the Intercepting Heaven Technique, which is said to be able to steal, intercept, and plunder the heavens.

The winds and clouds shifted rapidly, tearing apart the dense chaotic mist. The Heaven-Severing Technique swept over and took effect on Shi Yi.

Unexpectedly, Shi Yi did not sense any killing intent in this secret technique, which surprised him.

Immediately, he used a sky-mending technique of the same level.

When the two forces collided—the one that mended the sky and the one that severed it—they instantly vanished without a trace, just like yin and yang.

However, in the end, some of the Heaven-Slaying Techniques still flew over. This was deliberately released by Shi Yi, who wanted to know the girl's purpose.

In an instant, the right eye of the holeless mask blurred, revealing the pupil inside.

The reappearance of double pupils startled the young girl. She never expected that such a terrifying eye was hidden beneath the mask, containing a horrifying scene of stars rising and falling, the universe collapsing, and chaos being reborn.

Even more shocked was Shi Hao behind him. How could he not recognize Chong Tong?

Even today, the pain of having one's bone removed remains so unforgettable and deeply etched in one's memory.

"Shi Yi! So it was you!" Shi Hao exclaimed softly, finally understanding why he always had a feeling that he had a deep connection with Xuan Yi. It turned out that Xuan Yi was his cousin, Shi Yi.

At this moment, he understood many things. A supreme genius with double pupils, known as an ancient sage and a born god, should have been even more powerful after obtaining the Supreme Bone. How could he have become just an ordinary person and disappeared without a trace?

The gloomy atmosphere at the Wu King's Mansion led Shi Hao to make a misjudgment, thinking that something had happened to Shi Yi. Now, the truth has come out: this cousin has been walking in the world under the identity of "Xuan Yi".

"Yes, Xuan Yi, it can only be you." He muttered to himself. Apart from his cousin, who else in the lower realm could be so heaven-defying?

At this moment, Shi Yi understood what the witch's clone was planning. The reason why the Heaven-Severing Technique had no killing intent was because her goal was to remove the mask on her face. Although she only succeeded in removing one eye, the two learned about his identity through the double pupil.

Of course, without Shi Yi's leniency, the Heaven-Severing Technique wouldn't have been able to get through. This was his own choice, and since he did it, there's no point in regretting it.

He is no longer the Shi Yi of yesteryear who had no powerful protectors or strong enough trump cards. Even if his identity is revealed, it doesn't matter.

"Brother, it's been many years since we last met. How have you been?" Shi Yi's mask completely blurred, revealing an exceptionally handsome face.

He was dashing and vigorous, with a tall and strong physique and a special aura. His eyes were like a galaxy, with double pupils that shone brightly, reflecting the rising and falling of the sun and moon, and filled with a chaotic aura.

His gaze was so profound, as if it could see through the past, present, and future, and understand one's past and present lives. Being stared at by such a gaze was simply the most terrifying thing. Even a powerful witch was somewhat unsettled. Shi Yi's strength far exceeded her imagination.

At this moment, the witch's spirit body felt a little regretful. This time, she had tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead. For that sliver of hope of seizing the Ten Fierce Treasures, she had offended such a supreme genius. She had never imagined that such a person would appear in the small Lower Realm Eight Regions.

Compared to Shi Yi, Shi Hao is inevitably a bit immature, after all, he is three years younger.

After many years, the two young supreme beings meet again, gazing at each other from afar, each having experienced many things.

In the void, murderous intent surged and collided, creating a thunderous roar.

"Don't worry about me, I'm doing very well. But you, hiding your identity, could it be because you've done too many bad things and are being punished by heaven?" Shi Hao said, responding in this way.

"Is this what you've been thinking about day and night?" Shi Yi chuckled.

"Wrong. I hope you're still alive. That way, I can defeat you fair and square. It would be a shame if you died, as it would prevent me from having any peace of mind." Shi Hao retorted sharply.

"My foolish brother, you are still as childish as ever."

However, what you say doesn't match what you do. Over the years, you haven't made much progress. Have you been spending your time traveling and sightseeing?

"So lazy, so weak, it seems your hatred for me isn't enough." Shi Yi shook his head, his eyes filled with disappointment.

Shi Hao remained expressionless, but his heart was in turmoil.

Indeed, compared to Shi Yi, who used the alias Xuan Yi, his brilliance was not as dazzling, and his achievements were far less impressive.

Could it be true, as Shi Yi said, that he has become complacent? Otherwise, how could he have fallen so far behind? The difference between the two can be clearly seen from the anode hole.

The girl in the black dress finally understood that the man with double pupils and the boy with great potential were brothers, and that they had an irreconcilable feud. However, the older brother with double pupils had been hiding his identity as Xuan Yi, and the younger brother had never known this. Now that the brothers had met, they were extremely hostile and ready to fight.

"The feud between us Shi brothers should be an internal matter, and outsiders should not interfere. It's time to clear the room." Shi Yi suddenly changed his gaze and looked at the stunningly beautiful girl in the black dress.

The conflict between the brothers was just a sudden complication; his true goal was still the Kunpeng Treasure Technique, the Kunpeng relic in the hands of the witch's spirit, which he was determined to obtain.

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao stepped forward.

"You can't hurt her."

Chapter 127 Crush

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi smiled, a cold smile, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain.

He did this on purpose.

At this moment, Shi Hao is only slightly stronger than the Shi Hao in the original work, far from meeting Shi Yi's expectations.

This is understandable, since Shi Hao's most hated cousin has disappeared. The only target he can rely on, Xuan Yi, is his senior brother in the Butian Pavilion. Xuan Yi saved the Pavilion Master and many cultivators, which makes Shi Hao feel positive about Xuan Yi and even have a bit of respect for him.

Even though Shi Hao has the heart of a strongman and the intention to catch up with Xuan Yi, he lacks the most crucial element: the drive to forge ahead without hesitation or fear of death.

Now that the truth has come out, Xuan Yi's identity has been exposed, and Shi Yi has revealed his true form, enough to reignite Shi Hao's desire for revenge.

Hatred can truly unleash unimaginable energy in a living being, a fact Shi Yi had deeply experienced in a certain anime from his previous life.

Shi Yi had mixed feelings about his cousin, Shi Hao.

The two are bound by an extremely complex web of cause and effect: cousins, bone-digging, mother-killing, the Rain Clan and the Martial King's Mansion's relentless pursuit of the family of three, Shi Yi's precognitive advantage gained from Shi Hao's experiences in the original work, the competition for the Great Dao, and being one of the few people who can be relied upon when facing darkness and the bizarre in the future...

If Shi Yi didn't consider the overall situation and wasn't a prescient person, but only focused on immediate gains and losses, then what he needed to do would be very simple: just like the Shi Yi in the original story, he could simply put Shi Hao to death, since the two had a grudge against each other.

Unfortunately, Shi Yi is a time traveler and cannot do that. He sees further than anyone else, which is an attribute that his identity as a time traveler brings him.

"You, as weak as an ant, who can you protect?" Shi Yi asked, looking down at him with a condescending gaze.

Shi Hao remained silent, his expression unchanged, but a flame was burning fiercely in his heart.

He wasn't the type to dwell on troubles or be troubled by them every day. Just like in the original story, when Shi Yi entered the Ancient Holy Academy, he couldn't get in, but he didn't worry about it all the time. At that moment, he was still that mischievous kid.

However, people always grow up. When Xuan Yi became Shi Yi, the overwhelming pressure surged in, and even a brat could no longer act the same way as before.

The girl in the black dress was very grateful to Shi Hao for standing up for her. However, could the two of them really fight against that terrifying double-pupiled person with double pupils and the appearance of a saint?

Although the fight hadn't lasted long, the black-dressed girl's biggest trump card had been shattered by the double-pupiled individual. At this moment, only her true form could possibly stand against him.

"Young man, don't be impulsive. Your cousin is incredibly strong, a rare sight in this lower realm. It's normal that you can't beat him."
