Chapter 371: Strange Vertical Pupils
“80 years? Why is it taking so long? Master, aren’t you a genius?” Lei Wushuang secretly transmitted his voice and asked.
“Of course, I’m a genius. 80 years is already very quick. Others used more than 100 years. In my era, almost no one could surpass me.”
“However, I didn’t expect that in this era, there are actually two people who are stronger than me. The female general beside you, Chu Wanqiu, is a super-genius. She’s much stronger than me.”
“However, I didn’t expect that Li Xuan was even more tyrannical. I used 80 years to comprehend it, and this kid used three years. He didn’t even need to fight, and he just sat lazily reading every day.”
“This is simply not human. Damn it, comparing people is really infuriating. This kid comprehended it in three years. This is simply unreasonable.”
The expert from the Lightning Blade grumbled gloomily. It was obvious that he had been dealt a heavy blow and said a bunch of envious words.
“This…”
Lei Wushuang was also frightened. She looked at the ball of light in shock and looked at the flashing light. She wanted to see something, but unfortunately, she could not understand anything.
There was no other way.
The Barrier was a very high-level power. Only those at the Gold Rank Peak could begin to comprehend it and prepare to break through to the Half-Step Saint Rank.
However, she did not expect Li Xuan had started to comprehend it so early. The key point was that he had only used three years.
This also frightened the expert in the Lightning Blade. Even the talented Chu Wanqiu was stunned and stood still. It was obvious that she had suffered a blow.
It took them a long time to recover.
Lei Wushuang said in a low voice, “Sister Wanqiu, what about the invasion of the Abyss?”
“Let’s pause for now. We’ll talk about it after Li Xuan is done. Comprehending the Barrier is too important. He absolutely can not be disturbed, not to mention that he is the hope of humanity.”
Chu Wanqiu said seriously and stood guard at the door to prevent anyone from disturbing Li Xuan.
Lei Wushuang did not dare to be negligent. She also stood guard quietly and looked around vigilantly to prevent anything from happening.
Time passed slowly. Soon, three hours had passed.
The ball of light in Li Xuan’s hand grew a little bigger. It changed from the size of a football to the size of a basketball. Overall, there was a small improvement.
“Not bad.”
Li Xuan opened his eyes. His gaze swept across the scene in the ball of light, and he vaguely had an even greater realization.
However, he still had things to do. This was the time to put away the ball of light and attack the first passage.
“Let’s go. Prepare to attack the first passage.” Li Xuan stood up and walked out in large strides.
“Li Xuan, I suggest that the battle be postponed. You should speed up the comprehension of the Barrier. This is very important,” Chu Wanqiu said seriously.
“It’s okay. I know what to do.”
Li Xuan nodded. He valued the Elemental Origin. He could only get it if he made more contributions. As long as he could break through the first passage, he would be able to see the space crack.
Moreover, Li Xuan’s contribution and reputation would be improved unprecedentedly. It was the first time someone could break through the Abyss Passage and see the Abyss Crack. No one could compare to such a contribution.
At that time, the Elemental Origin would definitely belong to him. No one had the right to compete with him.
Thinking of this, Li Xuan immediately mobilized the experts in the army and charged into the first passage to begin the counterattack.
Of course, those Abyss Sect people who had been found did not know what was going on. Just like that, they became cannon fodder and were mixed in with the skeleton army, becoming the vanguard.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The battle was about to start.
The skeleton army of more than 10,000 charged in from the Dark Array Formation in a mighty manner. They clashed with the densely packed Pollution Creatures and began to fight crazily.
The experts at the back also joined the battle circle, one after another, providing support.
The battle proceeded in an orderly manner. The Abyss Sect spies felt that something was wrong, but they did not dare to expose their identities, because if they did, they would die even faster.
They could only fight bitterly. After they had achieved meritorious deeds and were injured, they would have a chance to return to the Dark Array Formation.
Needless to say, one person performed very well. After fighting for half a day, he was actually valued by Li Xuan and allowed to return.
This caused the people of the Abyss Sect to see hope. Each and every one of them killed the Pollution Creatures crazily and helped the humans instead.
However, these spies did not know that those who were allowed to return would soon be dealt with in the dark. At the moment, they only gave the spies hope and made them kill the polluted creatures crazily.
Time passed little by little, and the battle progressed little by little.
After a day of battle, a region was finally cleared, and it was time to set up a dark array.
Li Xuan did not hesitate and immediately led everyone to set up the Dark Array Formation, trying his best to maintain the results of the battle.
Then, they continued to attack and fight according to this method.
They spent a whole month’s time.
Finally, the first passage of the Abyss was opened, allowing everyone to see the scene near the Abyss Crack.
There, a terrifying giant ape monster was waiting quietly, its eyes looking coldly at everyone present.
Behind the giant ape was a dense spatial rift. At the location of the largest spatial rift, there was actually a vertical pupil embedded in it, and it was emitting the power of palpitations.
The vertical pupil saw the humans that appeared in the first passage, and suddenly a green light appeared, enveloping the spies in the skeleton army.
“Ahhhhh!”
Screams of pain rang through the first passage.
The spies covered their heads and screamed in pain. Blood oozed out from their facial features. They fell to the ground in fear and died.
“What is that? Why do I feel fear in my heart!”
Commander Zhou was so scared that his scalp went numb. He took a few steps back and his face turned pale.
He was not the only one.
Other than Li Xuan and Chu Wanqiu, everyone else looked the same. Even Chu Wanqiu swayed a little. It was obvious that she had suffered a loss.
“Li Xuan, let’s retreat.”
Chu Wanqiu hugged Li Xuan and quickly retreated, worried that something would happen to Li Xuan.
“It’s fine, don’t worry.”
Li Xuan felt a little helpless in Chu Wanqiu’s embrace. The main thing was that it was too ambiguous, and he did not want to get involved too much, so he comforted Chu Wanqiu and told her to stop.
“Li Xuan, it’s very dangerous here. The giant ape’s strength is definitely not inferior to mine. The main point is that the vertical pupil is too terrifying. I’m worried that it’s the means of a Saint Rank powerhouse.”
Chu Wanqiu explained in worry, but she did not let go of Li Xuan. Instead, she hugged him tightly and continued to lead Li Xuan to retreat into the distance.
Only a Saint Rank powerhouse could deal with another Saint Rank powerhouse. Unless the Saint Rank ancestor came, no one could deal with that vertical pupil.
“Alright, let’s retreat first.”
Li Xuan waved his hand, and a black-robed skeleton walked out from the black vortex and quickly conveyed Li Xuan’s orders.
Furthermore, the black-robed skeleton man was actually able to command the remaining skeleton army to be in charge of the rear, preventing them from being attacked.
What was surprising was that the giant ape did not attack. Instead, it stood in the first passage, staring coldly at Li Xuan. A violent killing intent seemed to have materialized, enveloping the first passage.
Li Xuan was not afraid. While he was being carried away, he still had time to look at the giant ape, sizing it up with interest.
Bang!
The giant ape lifted its foot and crushed the stone beside it. Then, it pointed at the stone and then at Li Xuan, revealing a cruel smile.
“Hehe.”
Li Xuan smiled. He did not care about this threat. Instead, he recalled the vertical pupil. In the vertical pupil, he saw a golden thread.
