The vermilion sword light flashed past Qing Yu's body, and a burst of fresh blood erupted from Qing Yu's neck.
This sword strike hit.
"Neither heaven nor human, neither Yin nor Yang, truly extraordinary, able to penetrate my double-layer protective True Qi, and even pierce through my Firmamen Blood Armor. Blood Tears Eye, truly lives up to my expectations." Qing Yu ignored the blood on his neck and spoke calmly.
All things are based on Yin and Yang, and Qing Yu's foundation is even more so the Dao of Yin and Yang. A sword that is neither heaven nor human, neither Yin nor Yang, was indeed Qing Yu's greatest nemesis.
To break this move, the best method is still to use superior swordsmanship to break this sword, rendering its power unable to reach the body.
But purely in terms of swordsmanship, Qing Yu had to admit he wasn't as good as Gong Wuhou. Although the cultivated Piaomiao Swordsmanship was unmatched, Qing Yu was not another Ren Piaomiao, currently unable to reach Ren Piaomiao's height in the Sword Dao.
"It's a pity, still couldn't kill you..." Gong Wuhou suddenly vomited a mouthful of fresh blood.
He struggled to turn his head, looking towards the source of the voice.
Behind him was another Qing Yu, whose palm pierced through his heart.
Gong Wuhou's Primordial Spirit Sword, Qing Yu couldn't dodge it, but he didn't plan to.
Though Gong Wuhou's ultimate move was extremely strong, it had limitations. The biggest flaw is that this move gathers his entire Primordial Spirit and True Qi into one sword, having great power yet only able to target one person.
But Qing Yu's Saint and Demon Embryo possesses two bodies.
Just now, Qing Yu used one body to fully defend, experiencing the ultimate sword exerted by the Blood Tears Eye firsthand. The other body, just as the Primordial Spirit Sword's power reached its peak and waned, pierced Gong Wuhou's heart and took his life.
This is also why even though Qing Yu's neck was half cut, his throat damaged, he could still speak; because the one speaking has always been the intact other body.
"Blood Tears Eye, I'll be taking it."
Qing Yu's right hand, piercing Gong Wuhou's heart, shook, and the explosive True Qi instantly shattered his body, causing a sky full of blood mist.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing the star-level villain Gong Wuhou, acquiring the item: Vermilion Sword (Five Stars), Blood Tears Eye (Five and a half stars), Martial Arts inheritance: 'Coiling Dragon Sword Technique' (Five Stars), 'Vermilion Sword Technique' (Five Stars), 'Colorless and Obscure· Bright as a Thought' (Five and a half stars), 'Hundred Years of Blood Tears· Primordial Spirit Sword' (Five and a half stars)."
Following closely was Gong Wuhou's Martial Arts Enlightenment.
"Filled with hatred, despair, and the void, this Sword Dao truly evokes emotion."
Gong Wuhou's Martial Arts Enlightenment was filled with violence and despair, his tragic life crafted by the Great Grandmaster Guling Shiyan, and his heart intent was always to kill Guling Shiyan. Therefore, his sword was full of negative emotions, hatred, despair, killing intent, and a piece of empty nihility.
Fortunately, Qing Yu's Mental State transcended the ordinary, otherwise absorbing his enlightenment might have driven him insane.
The negative emotions Qing Yu accumulated during three years of solitude in the mountains were not even a tenth of Gong Wuhou's.
"A miserable life, yet it's none of my concern."
With a slight sigh, the ever-conscienceless Qing Yu directly exited the Inheritance Space, leaving Gong Wuhou behind in his mind.
Without directly experiencing, one cannot truly feel the despair of others, and Qing Yu himself isn't particularly sentimental, naturally, not paying much attention.
After exiting the Inheritance Space, Qing Yu sat cross-legged in the Taiji Palace and said, "System, claim the Blood Tears Eye."
A crimson drop of fresh blood condensed from the void in front and split into two streams, flying into Qing Yu's eyes.
A mystical feeling surged from his eyes, and Qing Yu's pupils faintly shone with a layer of blood light, but it appeared without a hint of evil.
"The vision of the Blood Tears Eye reveals another world."
Qing Yu looked around, only to find his sight now far different from before. Previously, due to Qing Yu's Heavenly Son's Qi Observation Skill and Void Eye, he could directly see the Qi and form of things, observing the internal through the external.
But now, Qing Yu's vision was even more thorough, seeing not only the Qi and spirit but further deeper existences.
"I see... a more real world..."
Qing Yu slowly looked up, gazing at the dome of the Taiji Palace, or rather, at the higher reality.
"So that's how it is? The so-called great calamity..."
Qing Yu let out a peculiar chuckle.
After acquiring the Blood Tears Eye, he stood at the same height as Elder Shiming and discovered the reality behind the so-called great calamity. It must be said, it's a truth that makes one laugh and cry.
"Elder Shiming, is this the truth you covered up? I have to say, it's increasingly intriguing."
A hint of interest and curiosity flashed in Qing Yu's blood-colored eyes.
Even back then, Qing Yu sensed something was amiss but only today realized where the wrong was. Henceforth, he and Elder Shiming would have much to explore.
"Truly remarkable, just a drop of fresh blood can create such a mystical Blood Tears Eye, then what kind of profound realm must the original be in..."
This is just a drop of blood, not essence blood. Yet, to reach the level of five and a half stars with a single drop of blood, the realm of the original is beyond what Qing Yu can fathom.
To note, Qing Yu's Nihility Magic Mirror is derived from the essence of the Primordial Sky Demon, but it's only five and a half stars. Compare essence and a drop of blood, and the distinction is clear.
Qing Yu gently closed his eyes, concealing the faint blood light in them, "But the activation of the Blood Tears Eye is quite consuming, if not for my possession of the Three Souls, I wouldn't dare maintain the Blood Tears Eye's state for long."
"Moreover, I feel the Blood Tears Eye has layers of mysteries yet to be unraveled."
The Blood Tears Eye, though formed from Nuwa's blood, has all its Qi and blood transformed into this unique talent. However, Qing Yu doesn't need external Qi and blood as his Saint and Demon Body inherently possesses strong Qi and blood, truly requiring no supplements.
What he truly needs is to delve into the life wisdom contained within. Just like back then, he borrowed the Demon Control Token to comprehend Emperor Qi Tian's Dao, Qing Yu also aims to explore the Blood Tears Eye, addressing his own shortcomings.
He slowly invoked the Blood Vault Heart Method, revealing a crimson Heavenly Crystal before him, which gleamed under Qing Yu's guidance.
"Both 'Primordial Treasure' and the Blood Tears Eye originate from Nuwa, and the Blood Vault is related to life and Qi blood heart method. Hopefully, these items from different worlds of Nuwa will resonate and bring me some unexpected surprise."
The blood light gradually enveloped Qing Yu, dyeing his entire body with a layer of blood color. Eventually, the Blood Vault Qi extended into his eye sockets, making contact with another blood light within.
······
Time silently passed amidst tranquility, and the two blood lights, seemingly of the same origin but different sects, began to merge after countless moments of harmonization.
Qing Yu felt slightly fuzzy in mind, the perpetual sensory perception of his surroundings slowly faded, as if he was sinking into darkness, falling into nihility.
