Chapter 2356 - Taixi Divine Eyes
“This mini star doesn’t just trap our bodies but our lifebound beasts as well.” Tianming’s first course of action had been to try releasing Yin Chen through the hexagonal holes, but he hadn’t been able to. Now, his only interaction with the outside world was the hole near his eye that afforded him a narrow view of the outside. The mini star wasn’t moving, so the view remained the same.
The only things visible were the five points of life.
“What the hell does this place want?” It was natural for Tianming to start growing anxious. “Did the people who didn’t get any mini stars and my sister die? And does this game of raising gu mean that only one person can live while the rest must die? Will only one of us six make it out alive?” He didn’t know the situation outside, so the likelihood of death was very real to him and all the remaining people.
“What’s going to happen!” Tianming’s mind was a mess.
The space was deathly silent, leaving those trapped alone with their thoughts. There was a clicking and whirring sound, but not from Tianming’s side.
“Is that the mini star coming apart?” Sound could still travel through the holes.
The world outside brightened and Tianming could now determine that they were in a sealed-up space that looked like the inside of a sphere.
Tianming guessed there were five others that had been trapped in the mini stars. “Did that sound mean someone was let out?” He was prepared to fight the moment he was out. However, after waiting for a while, nothing happened.
“Still trapped? But that’s also a form of safety. I don’t need to participate if any battles occur. That being the case, he could remain calm. He suddenly thought of Lin Hongchen. “There’s a chance that everyone who didn’t get a mini star died. I wonder what his fate will be since I brought him here?” It was impossible for him to judge if each step was a blessing or curse.
“Surely you can’t be safe if you don’t get a mini star, but you’ll suffer disaster if you come here? Lin Hongchen will probably curse me all the way down to hell!” He felt his scalp tingle. “Unfortunately, we know nothing about the proper way to survive. It’s all up to the gamemaster playing with the crickets….” If the gamemaster was happy, everyone lived. If he wasn’t happy, what could the little crickets do?
“This means in the end my grandfather’s hobby is quite erudite.”
Tianming suddenly heard a strange voice from outside. It seemed to originate from hell and reach his soul; every word inciting a response from the Soul Tower. The voice was very gentle, but a short sentence made Tianming’s hair stand on end. The speaker was clearly a grandmaster of the soul! Even after the voice faded away, the chills remained.
“Swordgod Lin Clan, Lin Hongchen? Twenty-sixth place, you’re rather lucky to be here.”
The words made Tianming frown as well. “So Lin Hongchen and this speaker were the ones to be let out? Are they meant to fight?” Through the hole, Tianming saw Lin Hongchen. He was standing straight, his voice slightly shaking. He was clearly full of respect for this person. “Indeed, I didn’t expect to see you here, Shenxi Shang.”
“Shenxi Shang?!” Tianming’s expression changed. He naturally knew that person. He had heard the name since his second day of joining the minor reges mundi ranking. They simply had too much fame. Firstly, his surname meant he was already born an apex elite of the Infinitum Mundus.
Of the ebons, the Shenxi Clan wasn’t numerous, but they were the most elite. The ebons’ soul eyes were split into nine grades. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, silver, and gold.
And the Shenxi Clan was the only clan to ever have gold soul eyes passed down.
The Guchi Clan, Jiangbei Clan, and other powerful clans all had to admit their inferiority before them. Grade-eight silver soul eyes were called divine soul eyes. Grade-nine gold soul eyes were called taixi divine eyes and were the greatest symbol the ebons used to awe Ebonia. But not even the Shenxi Clan currently had many with those grade-nine soul eyes.
Not even the tenth rex mundi, Chi Hun, had them. The ebons held five of the top ten, and of them, all had taixi divine eyes apart from Chi Hun and were from the Shenxi Clan. That was how high they were within the ebons. Thus, just the word ‘Shenxi’ was enough to leave people quaking within their boots.
Shenxi Shang had the taixi divine eyes. He had also clinched first in the previous minor reges mundi ranking. Those who had competed with him then were all overage now, while he remained. This time, he’d naturally remained first and his position hadn’t been shaken since the Oldgod Domain had opened.
But his legend didn’t stop there. His parents were both reges mundi that stood in the top ten. His father especially, was ranked second.
“Before there was Yi Daiyan, Shenxi Shang’s old man ruled this mundus for the previous thousand years!” Even Tianming had to admit this man’s background was too shocking. Guchi Xiaoyin wasn’t on the same playing field as him.
Shenxi Shang was the best talent a sixth-level nova source world could offer, completely different from the sun, Violetglory, or the mysterians’ Crimsonjade Qiang.
