"So bright!"
"What on earth is that?!"
"Is there a fire somewhere?"
"How could it be? A fire couldn't be this bright! And there aren't any buildings this tall in Cangnan City at all!"
"Hurry up! Take a picture! Post it on Moments!"
"..."
This towering pillar of light was so blinding that people in half of Cangnan City noticed it. Pedestrians stopped in their tracks one after another, excitedly speculating about the reason for its appearance.
Some said it was an explosion, some said it was an optical experiment, and some said it was a divine miracle descending... But only a very small number of people knew what the appearance of this pillar of light meant.
Two minutes ago, in the old urban area.
On the empty street, ripples gently spread in the space, as if someone had lifted a corner of the canvas covering the old urban area. Then five figures wearing black-red cloaks stepped out from it.
One of them looked around, stepped forward, picked up the "No Admittance Ahead" notice board on the ground, and closed it.
The moment this notice board was put away, the silent old urban area shattered soundlessly like a bubble, revealing the real old urban area inside.
The eerie blood stained the old streets red, and fragmented strange limbs were scattered everywhere. If Lin Qiye had seen this scene, he would have found that the pieces scattered on the ground were the ghost-faced monsters he had faced!
There were densely packed at least thirty-four of them!
"The [No-Rule Airspace] has been recovered," the person holding the notice board said indifferently. "We can call the logistics personnel to clean up the battlefield."
"Where's Lao Zhao?"
"He's gone after those two escaped Masked Men."
"…We were careless." The injured woman covered her right shoulder, looking a bit listless.
"Don't say that, Hongying. No one knew that there was actually a Masked King hidden among this group of Masked Men," the man beside her comforted.
"The captain is facing the Masked King alone. He should be okay, right?"
"Of course he is. Don't forget that the captain is a powerful person in the third realm, the 'Chuan' realm. He won't have any problems," the man paused. "I just hope... those two escaped Masked Men won't cause casualties among ordinary people..."
Just as he finished speaking, a blazing pillar of light shot up into the sky from another direction, illuminating half of the sky!
The five of them turned their heads simultaneously, their eyes filled with shock!
"That is..."
"A Forbidden Ruins has emerged. This energy fluctuation... is incredibly strong!"
"This, this is at least a powerful person in the fifth realm, the 'Wuliang' realm. No, it might even be the sixth realm, the 'Klein'... How could such a powerful person be attracted to this small Cangnan City?"
"No, this doesn't seem like a human Forbidden Ruins," the man frowned.
Hongying was taken aback, and then as if she had thought of something, "You mean..."
"This seems like a Forbidden Ruins of the gods, that is... a Divine Ruins."
Upon hearing the word "gods", the expressions of several people became serious.
"Which god?"
"Blazing, sacred, powerful, and with this aura of creation. If I'm not mistaken, this should be..." The man stared fixedly at the gradually fading pillar of light and enunciated each word slowly:
"God code 003, the King of Angels, Michael."
...
Lin Qiye felt extremely uncomfortable.
At the very center of this golden pillar of light, his body had completely lost control and was eerily suspended in mid-air. Endless energy gushed out from his eyes.
Lin Qiye felt as if he had returned to ten years ago, and across the boundless universe, he saw those eyes again.
That supreme and sacred aura, he still remembered it vividly.
The difference was that ten years ago, this aura came from the Moon, and now this aura came from... his own eyes.
The aura and divine might of the Seraphim were frantically surging out from his eyes. His eyes were like two burning suns, as if they were going to melt everything into nothingness.
Ten years ago, the Seraphim Michael had looked at him from the Moon.
Ten years later, Lin Qiye opened his eyes, and the remaining power of the Seraphim in his eyes erupted completely!
Fortunately, the power of the Seraphim remaining in Lin Qiye's eyes wasn't much. After the pillar of light lasted for seven or eight seconds, it gradually dissipated, and Lin Qiye's body fell from mid-air. He staggered to steady himself.
In his eyes, the brilliant golden light gradually dimmed, and finally, only a faint golden halo remained.
If the previous brightness was comparable to that of the Sun, then the current brightness was only that of a candle flame.
Although the golden light that had erupted before was extremely powerful, it didn't belong to him after all. And the golden halo hidden in the depths of Lin Qiye's eyes now was truly under Lin Qiye's control.
A wisp of faint, the power of the Seraphim.
Lin Qiye took a deep breath and slowly raised his head.
The pitch-black night sky, the old streets, the eerie monsters, and the blood all over the ground... When this less-than-beautiful picture was presented in front of Lin Qiye's eyes, he smiled.
He smiled happily.
After ten years, he could finally see the world with his own eyes again.
At this moment, in Lin Qiye's eyes, the monster with blood all over its mouth was actually a bit cute.
As soon as the divine might of the Seraphim erupted from Lin Qiye, these two monsters had been pressed firmly to the ground by the divine might and were almost crushed into meat patties.
It was only after the golden pillar of light disappeared that they came to their senses. They looked around in confusion and then continued to stare at Lin Qiye.
The bloodthirsty desire reappeared in their eyes.
"Jie——!"
One of the monsters let out a strange cry and pounced towards Lin Qiye!
Compared to before, Lin Qiye was obviously much calmer now. The moment the monster made a move, he judged its movement trajectory in his heart and pounced to the side with all his might.
Lin Qiye's speed was indeed very slow compared to the monster, but his reaction speed was astonishingly fast. Those few seconds of advance prediction were enough to buy him time to dodge.
It wasn't that he could predict the future, but after his eyes opened, his perception ability had also undergone earth-shaking changes.
One was the range of his mental perception, which had expanded from ten meters to twenty meters. You know, it had taken Lin Qiye five years to be able to detect a range of ten meters before, and now it had directly doubled.
The other was his dynamic vision.
Within this twenty-meter range, Lin Qiye had nearly three times the dynamic vision of an ordinary person, and his reflex nerves were simply abnormal. In the process of close combat, he could almost achieve the level of predicting the future.
As for other abilities that these eyes had brought to him, Lin Qiye hadn't felt them yet for the time being.
However, in the current situation, he didn't have the luxury of exploring them slowly.
The monster was like an arrow released from a bow. It pounced past the place where Lin Qiye had just been standing, crashing into and collapsing a large section of the wall. With a hard push on the debris of the wall with its four limbs, it shot towards Lin Qiye again!
At this time, Lin Qiye had already rolled to the side to avoid the monster's landing spot. He reached out and groped beside him, grabbing the half of the white cane that had fallen to the ground before!
Lin Qiye quickly got up, crouched down halfway, and stared fixedly at the rapidly approaching monster with both hands gripping the white cane tightly!
The monster left behind streaks of afterimages, and the howling wind stirred up the black hair on Lin Qiye's forehead.
It suddenly exerted force with its hind legs, and its entire body leaped into the air!
This time, Lin Qiye didn't dodge.
He tightly gripped the half of the white cane, and his eyes stared fixedly into the monster's eyes.
"Jie——!"
The monster's sharp claws extended and directly swiped towards Lin Qiye's neck.
Just as it was about to touch Lin Qiye, the latter's eyes suddenly contracted!
The faint golden halo in his eyes was like adding a piece of firewood, and it suddenly became brighter, like two blazing furnaces!
A wisp of divine might, using Lin Qiye's eyes as a medium, rushed into the monster's body.
At this moment, in the monster's eyes, Lin Qiye had changed. He had become a supreme god with six wings, exuding a terrifying imposing manner all over his body!
So, under this divine might, its body fell into a brief state of stiffness.
In this short period of time, the half of the white cane in Lin Qiye's hand was raised high...
And accurately stabbed into the monster's right eye!
