"So bright!""What is that?!""Is something on fire?!""How is that possible? There's no way a fire could be this bright! And there aren't any buildings this tall in Cangnan City!""Quick, quick! Take a picture and post it on social media!""…"The blinding beam of light was so dazzling that half of Cangnan City noticed it. Pedestrians stopped in their tracks, excitedly speculating about its cause.Some said it was an explosion, some claimed it was an optical experiment, while others believed it was a divine miracle… But only a very few knew the true significance of the light's appearance.Two minutes earlier, in the old district:On an empty street, faint ripples in space shimmered, as if someone had lifted the corner of a veil covering the old district. Then, five figures in black and red cloaks stepped out.One of them glanced around before stepping forward to grab a "Road Closed" sign lying on the ground and folding it shut.The moment the sign was removed, the silent old district dissolved like a bursting bubble, revealing the true old district hidden within.The eerie sight of blood-soaked streets and fragmented monster limbs sprawled across the ground greeted the group. If Lin Qiye were here, he would have recognized the dismembered pieces as the ghost-faced monsters he had encountered!They were everywhere—at least thirty-four of them."[Voidless Domain] retrieval complete," the man holding the sign remarked flatly. "The cleanup crew can be called in now.""Where's Old Zhao?""He's chasing the two ghost-faced men who escaped.""…That was an oversight on our part," said an injured woman, clutching her right shoulder with a fatigued expression."Don't blame yourself, Hong Ying. No one could've predicted that a Ghost-Faced King would be hiding among these ghost-faced men," a man beside her comforted."The captain should be fine facing the Ghost-Faced King alone, right?""Of course. Don't forget, the captain is a Tier-3 Chuan-level powerhouse. Nothing will happen to him," the man reassured her. "Let's just hope… those two escaped ghost-faced men don't harm any civilians…"Just as he finished speaking, a searing beam of light shot into the sky from a different direction, illuminating half the horizon!The five simultaneously turned their heads, their faces filled with shock."That's…""A forbidden relic has appeared, and this energy fluctuation… it's overwhelming!""This… this is at least Tier-5 Wuliang level, no—maybe even Tier-6 Klein level… But how could a small place like Cangnan City attract such a powerful being?""No, this doesn't feel like a human forbidden relic," the man said, frowning deeply.Hong Ying froze, then seemed to realize something. "You mean…""It feels like a divine forbidden relic. In other words… a god relic."At the mention of the word "god," the group's expressions turned grim."Which deity?""Radiant, holy, powerful, and exuding the aura of creation… If I'm not mistaken, this is…" The man stared intently at the gradually fading light pillar and enunciated:"Divine Codename 003: The Angel King, Michael."…Lin Qiye felt awful.Standing at the very center of the golden beam of light, his body was completely out of his control, suspended eerily in midair as endless energy poured out of his eyes.Lin Qiye felt as if he was transported back ten years ago, staring across the vast cosmos into those eyes once again.That supreme, divine presence remained vivid in his memory.The difference was, ten years ago, that presence came from the moon, whereas now, it was emanating… from his own eyes.The aura and divine power of the Seraph were surging uncontrollably from his gaze. His eyes burned like twin suns, threatening to reduce everything to nothingness.Ten years ago, the Seraph Michael had locked eyes with him from the moon.Ten years later, when Lin Qiye opened his eyes, the lingering power of the Seraph within him erupted completely!Fortunately, the Seraph's power lingering in Lin Qiye's eyes wasn't overwhelming. After seven or eight seconds, the light pillar gradually faded. Lin Qiye's body dropped from midair, and he staggered before steadying himself.The dazzling golden glow in his eyes dimmed, leaving behind only a faint golden hue.If his gaze had once been as bright as the sun, now it was akin to the faint flicker of a candle.The golden radiance that had erupted earlier, though powerful, wasn't his. The faint golden hue now lingering in his eyes, however, was truly his to command.A weak trace of the Seraph's power.Lin Qiye took a deep breath and slowly raised his head.The dark night sky, the old streets, the grotesque monsters, and the blood-soaked ground… This grim tableau unfolded before Lin Qiye, and he laughed.He laughed heartily.After ten years, he was finally able to see the world again with his own eyes.At this moment, even the bloodthirsty monsters seemed a little adorable in Lin Qiye's gaze.When the Seraph's divine power had erupted from him earlier, the two monsters had been pinned to the ground, almost crushed into meat paste under the oppressive force.Now that the golden light had faded, the monsters appeared disoriented, glancing around in confusion before refocusing their bloodthirsty stares on Lin Qiye."Keek—!"One of the monsters screeched and lunged at Lin Qiye!Unlike before, Lin Qiye was noticeably calmer now. The moment the monster moved, he had already calculated its trajectory in his mind and dove to the side.Lin Qiye's speed was slower compared to the monster's, but his reaction time was almost inhuman. The few seconds gained from his preemptive judgment allowed him to narrowly dodge the attack.It wasn't clairvoyance, but the transformation in his sensory perception after opening his eyes.First, his spiritual perception range had doubled from ten meters to twenty. Previously, it had taken Lin Qiye five years to extend his range to ten meters, and now it had instantly doubled.Second, his dynamic vision.Within this twenty-meter range, Lin Qiye now had nearly three times the dynamic vision of an ordinary person, with reflexes that bordered on the supernatural. In close combat, he could almost predict his opponent's moves.As for other abilities his eyes might grant, Lin Qiye hadn't had the chance to explore yet.But given the current situation, there was no time for experimentation.The monster darted like an arrow, crashing into where Lin Qiye had just stood and shattering a section of the wall. Using its limbs to spring off the rubble, it lunged at Lin Qiye again!By then, Lin Qiye had rolled away from the monster's landing spot, grabbing a half-broken white cane that had fallen on the ground.Lin Qiye scrambled to his feet, crouched low, and tightly gripped the cane with both hands, his eyes fixed intently on the rapidly approaching monster.The creature charged with such force that the gusts it generated ruffled Lin Qiye's hair.It pushed off the ground with its hind legs, leaping into the air!This time, Lin Qiye didn't dodge.Gripping the half-broken cane tightly, his blazing eyes locked onto the monster's gaze."Keek—!"The monster extended its claws, aiming straight for Lin Qiye's throat.In the split second before contact, Lin Qiye's pupils contracted sharply.The faint golden hue in his eyes suddenly flared like a spark igniting a fire, turning into two blazing furnaces!A thread of divine power surged from Lin Qiye's eyes, piercing into the monster's body.In that moment, the creature's vision of Lin Qiye transformed. It no longer saw a vulnerable human but a supreme being with six wings, radiating an overwhelming, godlike majesty.Under this divine pressure, the monster's body froze momentarily.And in that instant, Lin Qiye raised the half-broken cane high…And drove it precisely into the monster's right eye!
