Chapter 280: Intensified Battle, the Power of the Double Pupils, the Dragon-Engraved Black-Gold Sacred Sword Decides Victory!

The double pupils, one of the rarest and unparalleled celestial endowments in history.

Among the three thousand body types, it ranks among the top thirty, immensely formidable.

In ancient times, there were those with double pupils; when their eyes opened, heaven and earth grew clear and bright.

When their eyes closed, the world plunged into darkness.

Though merely a simple description, it proves sufficiently how powerful and terrifying this heavenly gift truly was.

A double-pupiled individual, in any era, if appearing, would inevitably stand atop that age, becoming its trendsetter.

Now, the black cloth binding Jun Lingcang's eyes burned away inch by inch into ash.

A pair of pupils radiating terrifying energy appeared.

Even a single glimmer of their gaze seemed to split heaven and earth, shatter the cosmos!

The aura was so powerful it defied belief!

"The first-sequence heir of the Jun family has finally unleashed his forbidden technique!"

"Indeed, it's terrifying—just one glance is enough to obliterate ordinary prodigies!"

When onlookers across Mount Wenda saw Jun Lingcang unleash his double pupils, an endless wave of shocked murmurs erupted.

The last time Jun Lingcang faced Princess Long Ji, he did not use this celestial endowment.

Back then, his double pupils were still in the process of transformation.

Now, Jun Lingcang could finally unleash them without restraint.

This also meant Jun Lingcang had committed his full strength to defend the Jun family's honor.

Jun Lingcang's right eye surged with terrifying energy; a jet of black light shot forth like Ming fire, burning and collapsing the void.

BOOM!

This beam of light directly pierced through the ancestral dragon's shadow, causing it to begin crumbling.

This sight caused many to draw a sharp breath.

The moment his double pupils were unsealed, they revealed such terrifying power.

Those who had believed Jun Lingcang would suffer a crushing defeat now hesitated.

Seeing this display, Princess Long Ji was not overly surprised.

"Good. Had you not unleashed your double pupils, I would have been disappointed. Let me see if this double pupil is truly worthy of its reputation!"

Princess Long Ji's voice was cold and detached, carrying an air of confidence and superiority.

Even with Jun Lingcang's double pupils unveiled, she remained calm.

This made some observers regard her with even greater respect.

No wonder she's an ancient anomaly—such composure is unmatched.

"Excessive arrogance is merely stupidity."

Jun Lingcang's gaze turned icy as he struck again.

With the double pupils' enhancement, his magic power surged, and his assaults grew even more rapid.

Most importantly, everyone noticed Jun Lingcang's speed had increased dramatically.

"No, not at all—Jun Lingcang's speed hasn't increased; it's that Princess Long Ji's speed appears slower to him."

Some cried out in astonishment.

The double pupils possess countless unimaginable abilities.

One such ability is to slow down the opponent's movements, revealing every weakness and vital point.

This is terrifying—like an eagle's vision, it slows time to detect every flaw in the enemy.

Now, Jun Lingcang was activating this very ability.

He struck swiftly, one hand channeling the Qilin Art, the other forming a finger-sword, unleashing boundless sword qi as he wielded the Jun family's Slaying Immortal Sword Art.

With these two powerful techniques amplified by the double pupils, Jun Lingcang immediately exerted overwhelming pressure.

Princess Long Ji was even forced to retreat several steps.

"Your Highness!" From the Ancestral Dragon's Nest, some beings visibly paled.

Yet Princess Long Ji's four subordinates—the Azure Dragon General, Crimson Dragon General, Black Dragon General, and White Dragon General—remained expressionless, watching like spectators.

"The Jun family is still too naive. The princess's depth and strength are beyond their comprehension."

"Exactly. Though the double pupils are impressive, defeating the princess is still naive."

The four Dragon Generals exchanged telepathic whispers, all laced with disdain.

As expected, Princess Long Ji began her counterattack.

"Dragon Emperor Scripture: Thunder Dragon Shatters the Heavens!"

Princess Long Ji's dark tresses fluttered as she unleashed a devastating technique.

Her entire body surged with magic power; the void trembled, lightning flashed, and dragon energy coalesced into a terrifying thunderous dragon that roared to the heavens, piercing through the sky!

"It's the Dragon Emperor Supreme Art!"

Feeling this terrifying power, many cried out in shock.

Princess Long Ji had finally unveiled one of her trump cards—the Supreme Scripture, Dragon Emperor Scripture!

Thunder Dragon Shatters the Heavens, roaring across the nine skies; thunder energy filled the four directions, wracking the void, exploding the heavens!

"Hmph!"

Jun Lingcang snorted, his right eye blasting forth black light, his pupils shattering the cosmos!

The two exchanged blows, colliding hundreds of times within moments, their energy waves so fierce they stunned all observers.

This didn't resemble a battle between two Heaven-Piercing Realm lords—it was like two Saint Sovereigns clashing.

Everyone watched with bated breath.

This battle had reached a fever pitch.

Would the Jun family's double-pupiled prodigy reign supreme?

Or would the ancient anomaly of the Ancestral Dragon's Nest crush all under heaven?

BOOM!

Another collision.

Jun Lingcang stepped back two paces, his expression grim.

Even under his double pupils' observation, Princess Long Ji's weaknesses and openings were nearly nonexistent.

"Dragon Emperor Scripture: Crimson Dragon Scorches the Heavens!"

Princess Long Ji changed tactics; a crimson dragon emerged in the void, flames surging as if capable of burning down the heavens.

Jun Lingcang dodged, only to realize the surrounding flames were gathering with conscious intent.

They eventually coalesced into a crimson furnace, trapping Jun Lingcang inside.

Crimson flames surged, scorching heaven and earth.

Jun Lingcang's peril was obvious.

"Trouble!" Jun Wushuang, Jun Mulan, and others paled.

This was Princess Long Ji's ultimate killing technique.

Jun Zhantian and other clan elders tensed.

Though Jun Lingcang wasn't from their lineage, he was still a Jun.

One rises, all rise; one falls, all fall.

Jun Jiangjian, Jun Xuehuang, and others also wore grim expressions.

At that moment, someone cried out.

"Impossible!"

The Jun family turned to look.

Inside the furnace, Jun Lingcang's left eye streamed white divine light, forming a protective barrier around him, untouched by the crimson flames.

"The double pupils are truly terrifying—left eye for life, right eye for death; their opening and closing shifts the flow of life and death!" some marveled.

Despite Princess Long Ji's overwhelming pressure, Jun Lingcang had held his ground.

In everyone's eyes, he had already proven himself exceptional.

"I, Jun Lingcang, will never yield!" Jun Lingcang roared, his pupils blazing with divine light.

A beam of white light and a jet of black radiance shot forth from his eyes.

The principles of life and death intertwined, clashed, and erupted with staggering force, shattering the crimson furnace outright.

Jun Lingcang gave everything—unleashing the supreme essence of the double pupils.

With each opening and closing of his eyes, one thought brought life, one brought death!

Even Princess Long Ji's expression hardened.

She had to admit—the double-pupiled one was a formidable opponent, harder to handle than she'd imagined.

"Dragon Emperor Scripture: Golden Dragon Eternal Shield!"

Princess Long Ji manifested her supreme defensive technique; a golden dragon soared upward, transforming into a golden dragon shield.

BOOM!

The terrifying divine rays of the double pupils struck it, causing the golden shield to violently tremble.

Seizing the opportunity, Princess Long Ji formed a hand seal; atop her dark tresses, a hairpin-like artifact suddenly shot into the air.

Mid-flight, it transformed into a black-gold sacred sword.

It was Princess Long Ji's personal weapon—the Dragon-Engraved Black-Gold Sacred Sword!

Dragon-patterned black gold, like Lunhuidaojin and Divine Trace purple gold, are all materials used to forge imperial weapons!

Even Jun Xiaoyao's Thanos Saint King gloves contain only a small amount of Divine Trace purple gold.

And this entire sword is forged entirely from Dragon-patterned black gold!

Thus, one can see how immensely powerful this holy sword is.

With one strike, it sweeps through the entire universe.

Even Jun Lingcang was caught off guard and struck by the Dragon-patterned black gold holy sword.

Blood sprayed across the sky as Jun Lingcang was blasted backward!

He's defeated!

At this moment, all the factions and countless beings surrounding Wenda Mountain understood.

The outcome is settled!
