Chapter 1088 The Sacred Artifact 'Double Pupils'

The Lian family's ancestral hall is located in a strategic location!
The ancestral halls of aristocratic families were comparable to miniature cities, all built using extravagant land-building techniques.

Like the Zhou family, the Lian family's ancestors were all powerful figures from the Heavenly Sect. The ancestral hall they built was sturdy, secluded, and secure.

Even when undefended, with the clan cauldron as a suppressive weapon, any enemy who dares to intrude will find themselves trapped in an endless maze.

Lian Feihong chose this location for no other reason than to let Zhou You see the 'sacred artifact' he had borrowed.

A taciturn 'mute slave', his collarbone and limbs bound by thick chains that pierced through flesh and blood, was finally tied to cold iron.

Although the owner of the 'sacred artifact' lent it out, an additional layer of security was added: a 'mute slave' must be present before it could be touched and used.

Zhou You noticed that although the mute slave did not make a sound, as he moved, the iron chains tore at the wounds on his body, causing him great pain.

Is this a slave or a sinner? Why torture people like this?
Lian Feihong reminded him, "Give it a try!"

This sacred artifact is named 'Double Pupils', and it originates from a legendary martial saint, the Double Pupil Martial Saint.

This martial saint was born with extraordinary phenomena, a rare individual in history with double pupils in his eyes. It is said that the world he saw was different from that of ordinary people, and his fist skills were also the most unique.

For this reason, his unique skills have never been passed down. After all, people with double pupils are extremely rare, and those with talent are one in ten thousand.

Knowing that he had no successor, the Double-Pupil Martial Saint left behind a sacred artifact before his death, which he shaped into the form of an iron disc.

Hmm, it's quite heavy, which gives me peace of mind.

At least when Zhou You took the iron disc, although he thought it was dark and unattractive, he knew that if he threw it, it could kill someone.

The discus rattled, causing the chains to rise and fall, and beads of sweat mixed with blood flowed down the body of the mute slave at the end.

Zhou You frowned and asked Lian Feihong, "How do I use this?"

"You do this, you do this..."

It turns out that the characteristic of sacred artifacts is that they are not bound by form; their so-called appearance is the least important.

Its ordinary appearance is completely unrelated to the name 'Double Pupils'; the true essence lies in... its application.

Once the correct usage is employed, the true power of the sacred artifact will become undeniable.

Previously, Zhou You and Lian Feihong had witnessed Dongfang Daqian using the sacred artifact 'Dawn' to easily crush the Barbarian Demon Hammer and kill the Soldier Lord.

"..."

Now it's Zhou You's turn to experience it for himself.

He covered the discus with his palm and performed the corresponding technique. This technique was developed by the religion of humankind over a long period of time and is not universal. Each set of sacred objects has its own corresponding technique.

Lian Feihong borrowed this sacred artifact and also obtained temporary permission to use it and the method of its use.

When Zhou You actually used the sacred artifact, his first thought was, "Sure enough, appearance doesn't matter."

The sacred artifact 'Double Pupils' transcends the circular iron disc; its true essence lies in the power of the Double Pupil Martial Saint.

The power flowed smoothly into Zhou You's body. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his pupils trembled and split into two overlapping pupils, one large and one small.

These unusual phenomena are none other than the 'double pupils' unique to the Double Pupil Martial Saint.

"As expected, the person who lent this item had a backup plan. I only have the right to use it, but I can't fully control it. If the other party forcibly takes it back, I'll end up with nothing."

The mute slaves were only subject to visible constraints; it was only upon contact with the core power of the sacred artifacts that they discovered there were many more unseen backdoors.

It's unknown how much Lian Feihong paid for this; if it was too heavy a price, then it really wasn't worth it.

Lian Feihong's voice came from beside him, "Lord Nanchen, let's test its power and see how effective it is?"

Zhou You nodded. He drew his semi-saint Yin Blade and lightly slashed at the opponent. In the eyes of the double pupils, the blade light was different from before. The details of that blade light were more detailed and vivid than ever before. With a slight movement of his double pupils, he was able to decompose countless exquisite sword techniques from it, as well as... the trajectory of Shen Hou's blood and qi circulation.

Zhou You was greatly surprised. The Yin Blade contained the essence of fist techniques and swordsmanship, as well as the vital energy and blood injected by Lord Shen. He never expected that the two masters' most prized skills could be extracted intact.

The swordsmanship of Yin Dao and the profound techniques of Lord Shen Hou were vividly reproduced in a single strike.

That’s not all…

Zhou You swung this sword to test the power of the sacred artifact 'Double Pupil' on the battlefield.

His body flickered and flashed a few times, actually exceeding the distance of the blade's light and instantly blocking it.

In the past, no matter how fast Zhou You was, he couldn't outrun the blade light of the Half-Saint Yin Blade, since it was a killing move that was incredibly close to the speed of light.

With his double pupils, Zhou You caught up with him with just a slight sway of his body.

He used his body to shield himself from the blade's light, intending to withstand a destructive strike from a demigod-level being.

"Well done!"

The double pupils, one large and one small, not only revealed the essence of the sword's gleam but also exposed its flaws at every turn.

To my shame, Zhou Youren's cultivation level was too low. He forcibly wielded the Half-Saint Yin Blade, but his strength was insufficient. Although the destructive power was increased, it was full of flaws.

To a discerning person, it may seem troublesome, but it's not difficult to solve.

Well, to reach that level, one must be at least at the level of the Broken Eyebrow Mountain Master; even a Great Gentleman cannot achieve that.

But now, Zhou You, who has merged with the sacred artifact 'Double Pupil', has done it.

He threw a punch, and a trajectory shaped by the distortion of light appeared before his eyes. His body naturally followed the trajectory and struck out. This was not any martial art he knew, but a backup from the double pupils.

The sacred artifact not only possesses the extraordinary talent of a martial saint, but also inherited his ultimate fist techniques.

It turns out that when Dongfang Daqian defeated the Barbarian Demon Hammer with a single punch, it was thanks to the overwhelming blow from the Dawn Martial Saint.

He truly realized that, when facing a race wielding sacred artifacts, one could only be a match for them if one also possessed sacred artifacts, or one had to be a martial saint to remain undefeated.

Either condition is too difficult.

Guided by his double pupils, Zhou You spread his hands to dismantle the sword light, which had been solidified into one piece, and the sword light instantly cracked apart.

Then, he transformed his palm into fingers, gently manipulating the fragments of the blade light, causing them to collide and cancel each other out, easily annihilating them.

Throughout the entire process, Zhou You did not exceed the power of the Human Sect realm. Relying on the Martial Saint level skills granted by his Double Pupils, he effortlessly destroyed an attack from a Half-Saint Yin Blade.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a deep sense of reluctance and wanted to keep the 'double pupils' forever.

The clanging of chains reached his ears, and the presence of the mute slave reminded him that the items were borrowed and had to be returned after use.

Hey!
Zhou You sighed, detached from the state of being possessed by the sacred artifact, and the invincible power receded like a tide. He suddenly subconsciously placed his palm on the iron disc, and his movement froze for a moment.

"Lord Nanchen, is there something amiss?"

"No, it's nothing, just let me have some peace and quiet!"

Zhou You wasn't trying to steal anything; he was just touching something in a daze. Since no warning was triggered, the mute slave didn't move and just watched him quietly.

Little did he know that Zhou You's heart was in turmoil, and he used the Nine Cauldrons Law to see a magnificent and colorful world.

That is the true treasure hidden within the sacred artifact.
