The terrifying golden light beams pierced through the Void, flashing swiftly, they were already closing in on Ling Chen's eyes! 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Damn it!"

Ling Chen's face changed, his sixth sense warned him that if those two golden beams hit him, he would probably turn into ashes in the blink of an eye!

His body instinctively retreated, leaving a trail of afterimage, Ling Chen moved straight back to several hundred meters away.

However, Ling Chen's retreating did not achieve any effect, those light beams seemed to follow him precisely, abruptly changing direction at the last moment near the ground, and shot towards Ling Chen again!

"What?!"

Ling Chen's complexion turned drastically pale, allowing no time for him to respond, the two golden light in mid-air shot mercilessly at his eyes.

The astonishing pain spread at this moment, and Ling Chen's eyes started rapidly darkening as if losing the light.

At this moment, the outside world was enveloped in a layer of deathly atmosphere, everyone's attention focused solely on Ling Chen.

No one made any sound, because everyone knew how crucial this period was for Ling Chen, whether success or failure, the outcome would soon be revealed.

Hiss!

After this silence lasted for about half the day, Ling Chen, who was sitting cross-legged before the Stone Tablet not far away, suddenly trembled, and the eyes of the exotic beast sculpture also flashed brilliantly.

It was at the brief moment when the light blossomed that Ling Tingfeng and the others suddenly lifted their heads, their figures shifted, almost unseen, mysteriously appearing in front of Ling Chen, then staring heavily at Ling Chen's face.

At this moment, Ling Chen's eyes had become astonishingly golden yellow at an incredible speed, the flesh of the pupils torn open by this overbearing force, and the next moment, two lines of blood flowed from Ling Chen's eye corners, like two lines of bloody tears, shocking.

"It's bad."

Ling Tingfeng's face changed slightly, this appearance was almost identical to those who failed in cultivation and ended up blind.

Ling Chen's eyes had been utterly corroded by the power of the Golden Eye Divine Beast, if Ling Chen Wufa resists this erosion, then his fate would undoubtedly be the same as others here—a blind man, trapped in this dilapidated pavilion!

"Alas, as expected, it turned out like this."

The blind middle-aged man shook his head, although he couldn't see what was happening, he sensed Ling Chen's situation was exactly like his own back then.

This is the result of not listening to advice.

Hissing...

However the world's affairs are always surprising, just as the blind middle-aged man's murmuring voice fell, the exotic beast sculpture emitted a buzzing sound suddenly, and then, he saw two brilliant light beams shoot from the golden eyes of the exotic beast sculpture directly into Ling Chen's eyes.

The light beams connected Ling Chen's eyes and the exotic beast sculpture, under this connection, Ling Chen's eyes were rapidly crystallized, turning into two gemstone-like lifeless eyes visible to the naked eye.

The two golden light beams faded away, and the exotic beast sculpture returned to calm, the atmosphere in the field became deathly silent again as if everything had already settled down.

"How did it come to this?"

Ling Tingfeng furrowed his brows tightly, Ling Chen's signs resembled a failed outcome, could it be that Ling Chen had failed?

If Ling Chen was blind here, then even as Family Head, he could hardly escape responsibility, after all, Ling Chen was the unparalleled genius of the Ling Family, and the mishap occurred right under his watch, he bore unquestionable responsibility.

At this moment, in that ancient vast spiritual world.

Ling Chen's entire figure had been shrouded in golden light, the terrifying power pouring down as if intent on tearing Ling Chen's body into pieces.

Under this formidable impact, Ling Chen's spiritual will dimmed exceptionally, teetering on the brink.

Yet Ling Chen persevered bitterly, because he knew once his spiritual will was crushed, his eyes would indeed be blind, falling into an irredeemable fate!

Above the sky, the Golden Eye Divine Beast's eyes seemed to show again a trace of mockery, the next instant, its two eyes flashed violently, and two extremely terrifying golden beams shot fiercely towards Ling Chen!

"Damn it, this beast!"

Ling Chen could feel the world-shattering tumult from the two golden beams, if they hit him now, his spiritual will would undoubtedly collapse immediately!

Right at the moment when the beams were about to hit Ling Chen, suddenly, an exceedingly grand figure appeared before him, simply extending a hand to sweep away, those two golden beams were forcibly scattered, hitting an ancient giant mountain, smashing that giant mountain into powder.

This grand figure was none other than the Human Emperor.

"Beast, though only leaving a trace remnant soul, your nature hasn't changed. It seems the one who subdued you back then did not completely erase your vicious nature, thus causing harm to so many."

The Human Emperor gazed at the enormous Golden Eye Divine Beast in the sky, speaking indifferently.

"Master, are you saying this Golden Eye Divine Beast is not conducting a formal test, but deliberately seizing people's sight?"

Ling Chen's face trembled.

"Exactly. This Exotic Beast is vicious and unruly, moreover its viciousness seems to grow over time, now it is clearly robbing the sight of challengers in vengeful manner, showing no intention to let anyone pass the test."

The Human Emperor nodded, his eyes showing a gleam, "Likewise, it doesn't intend to let you pass either."

"I said, this practice of Golden Sword Pupil is extraordinarily demanding."

Ling Chen's face darkened slightly, no wonder even he found it difficult to comprehend, without the Human Emperor's intervention, he would've followed in others' footsteps, becoming blind.

"This beast is truly hateful."

Thinking of those blind geniuses of the Ling Family outside, Ling Chen's anger became more intense, all had met with blindness, so tragic—all because of the Golden Eye Divine Beast's deliberate acts.

"But today it has met me, and it might as well be unlucky."

The Human Emperor wore a faint smile, soon replaced by a fierce look, "Having committed so much sin for years, let's clear it all at once now!"

With that statement, the Human Emperor suddenly waved his hand, and the Void twisted open, forming a spatial vortex, the Human Emperor simply flipped his palm, then from within the spatial vortex, a resplendent Ancient Sword suddenly appeared, carrying a kingly aura covering the entire space.
