Chapter 62: Double Pupil Opens

Five paths fell above Xiao Jue, two Emperor Realm and three Quasi-Emperor.

Among the three Quasi-Emperors, one was a Quasi-Emperor Peak youth wearing green bamboo robes, full of heroic vigor!

Their gazes fell on Xiao Jue like hawks.

They released their divine sense, found no one else besides Xiao Jue, and their faces showed a playful expression.

It turned out to be a lone person.

"Dao Tree, little one, be sensible and hand over the Emperor Realm Dao Fruit."

One of the Emperor Realm experts, with an eight-character moustache, looked at Xiao Jue indifferently and said without room for doubt:

Those who can reach Emperor Realm level have considerable experience and naturally know the Dao Tree, a spiritual plant born of heaven and earth.

But Xiao Jue is merely a Quasi-Emperor junior, so they naturally didn't take him seriously.

Xiao Jue silently stored the Emperor Realm Dao Fruit in his storage ring.

"Heh, what a joke—this is a heaven‑earth spiritual object that could help him reach Emperor Realm; now that he has it, how could he just give it away?"

"You're relying on numbers, right? Who doesn't have someone backing them?"

"Isn't it said that everyone entering the Immortal Path is teleported to different places? How did these guys team up in violation of the rules?"

Xiao Jue secretly thought: "They probably have some way to gather."

When the two Emperor Realm experts saw Xiao Jue store the Emperor Realm Dao Fruit in his storage ring, their expressions darkened slightly.

"Heh, utterly foolish." Above, another Emperor Realm expert sneered, a deliberate scar on his face, a fierce look, gazing down at Xiao Jue, then said to the vigorous youth in green bamboo robes:

"Teng'er, this person is an Ancient Sacred Body, with a Supreme Bone and a Double Pupil inside him—he's a worthy opponent, perfect as your stepping stone."

The two Emperor Realm experts did not immediately attack Xiao Jue, seemingly treating him as a sparring partner for Teng'er.

Hearing that, the vigorous youth in green bamboo robes looked at Xiao Jue with interest and said: "Ancient Sacred Body, Supreme Bone, Double Pupil—now that's interesting."

Speaking, his eyes suddenly blazed with fierce fighting spirit, and a mighty aura surged outward.

This youth is named Wang Teng, an Ancient Hegemon Body.

The Ancient Hegemon Body and the Ancient Sacred Body are mortal enemies; upon meeting, each must trample the other's corpse to prove the Dao.

Whoever kills the other will find the ascent to Emperor Realm much smoother!

Below, Xiao Jue's gaze burned just as fiercely at the green‑bamboo‑robed Wang Teng!

An Ancient Hegemon Body?

To be honest, as an Ancient Sacred Body, Xiao Jue also wanted to find an Ancient Hegemon Body to gain some experience!

As long as those two Emperor Realm experts don't intervene, in a one‑on‑one fight he fears no one.

"Since it's a duel, you two seniors won't interfere, will you?" Xiao Jue looked at the two Emperor Realm experts, his expression calm and untroubled.

They don't fear interference; at worst they'll just summon the Sect Master.

After all, he still has a positioning talisman from the Sect Master in his hand—his greatest reliance.

Naturally, Xiao Jue would avoid using that positioning talisman if possible; he also wants to solve some problems on his own.

Besides the positioning talisman, he also carries an attack talisman and a defense talisman.

He hasn't tested the power of those two talismans, but the Sect Master said that with them in hand, even an Emperor Realm Peak expert cannot harm him.

"We certainly won't interfere." Above, one of the Emperor Realm experts looked at Xiao Jue with a playful expression.

For the Ancient Sacred Body and Ancient Hegemon Body to prove the Dao through duel, they must rely on their own strength to overcome each other.

If anyone intervenes, there is no talk of proving the Dao, and the assisted party might even have an unsteady Dao heart.

After all, one needs help only when one's skill is inferior.

It's clear they have great confidence in Wang Teng's strength!

"If that's the case, then..."

Xiao Jue smiled, his eyes blazing as he looked at Wang Teng.

Wang Teng also looked at Xiao Jue with fighting spirit.

Their eyes met!

Zizzle!

Just from their gazes meeting, fierce sparks erupted in the air.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The few people beside Wang Teng stepped back, clearing space for their battle.

Boom!

The next moment!

A earth‑shaking shockwave suddenly surged through the air.

Xiao Jue and Wang Teng had already violently collided.

Immediately afterward, neither used any skills, simply exchanging punches and kicks.

In the air, waves of violent shockwaves swept outward in all directions.

After a bout of bare‑fisted melee, each was pushed back by the other.

However, Wang Teng retreated farther than Xiao Jue.

Wang Teng's eyes held a hint of surprise as he stared straight at Xiao Jue.

He considered his flesh already perfected through tempering; within the same realm, few could match his physical strength.

Unexpectedly, this person's flesh actually slightly outweighed his!

Thud!

Wang Teng stepped forward, emitting a dull thud in the air; simultaneously, his eyes blazed with intense purple light, auspicious clouds billowing.

As he took that step, the surrounding space trembled slightly, and even Xiao Jue felt some effect, his movements seeming greatly restricted.

"Have you started using divine abilities?"

Xiao Jue muttered softly, and he wasn't nervous either.

When they were at the Longevity Gate, he and Liu Yiming would each slap a hard character primordial talisman onto themselves every day, then they would blast their skills at each other!

Because of this, his proficiency in using skills is extremely high.

Thud!

Just as Xiao Jue pondered slightly, Wang Teng took his second step!

Another tremor rang out in the air!

A mighty, overwhelming force surged like a tide toward Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue felt his movement restricted even more, as if countless tentacles were wrapping around his limbs in the space.

Thud!

Wang Teng took another step.

With this step, Wang Teng's aura became even more surging and tumultuous.

His hair disheveled, his eyes shining bright, a massive qilin emerged from behind him.

That qilin was lifelike, as if fused with Wang Teng; as Wang Teng moved, the qilin followed, shifting sideways…

"This is qilin divine abilities!"

Xiao Jue narrowed his eyes slightly, seeing the qilin behind Wang Teng and thus knowing what divine abilities Wang Teng had cultivated.

Xiao Jue did not sit and wait for death; his mind raced…

Hum!

Immediately, a vertical eye opened on his forehead.

His double pupils opened, and a blazing white light instantly burst forth between heaven and earth!
