Now that he was so close, Lu Yin could see that there were many wounds on its body. Its feathers had been torn apart, revealing bone in many places.
Its entire body had been roasted into a gray stone statue, a result of the Redfrost Base Lord's merciless path.
Lu Yin did not know how strong the Base Lord was, but it was at least stronger than Red Hero. Even someone like Red Hero had needed several people to work together to deal with the Ten-Eyed Crow, which showed just how powerful it was.
The Base Lord also had a Stabilized Turbid Treasure.
It could be said that the Base Lord had a Stabilized Turbid Treasure.
Its strength was not much weaker than Patriarch Shan's.
This Ten-Eyed Crow had required several experts at Patriarch Shan's level to fight it.
It was no wonder why it was invincible in the Core Space.
Lu Yin raised his hand.
He touched it.
It was cold to the touch and felt like stone. Lu Yin slowly rose until he was behind the crow's neck. He moved slowly and saw the eye. At the same time, the eye also saw him.
He could not move again.
He used the mother tree's green light to push it away and looked at the back of the crow's head.
Its eyes could move and were flexible.
Was it really dead?
Or was it not dead?
Was its consciousness trapped by its body?
Lu Yin took off the eye.
But how could he do that?
Lu Yin faced the crow and took a deep breath. He determined his position and teleported right in front of the crow, almost touching the eye. He raised his hand, but he could not move. The mother tree's green light attached itself to his arm, and he slowly raised it to grab the crow's eye.
At this moment, the crow's eye was not far away from Lu Yin's. It was so huge that it stared at him, causing him to panic.
As his hand approached, the starry sky seemed to flow in reverse. His body was swallowed up by the crow's eye, and it also felt like time was flowing in reverse. Lu Yin exerted some strength and his finger touched the crow's eye. It was one of the three eyes that had been staring at him all this time.
A flowing sensation spread along his arm, and in that moment, Lu Yin's forehead opened.
Scenes from the past appeared in his mind. They were scenes from the Eye World when his Celestial Eye had absorbed the eye power.
Chang Huai had lied to him and said that it was a simulation, but it was actually the past.
These were scenes of the Celestial Eye tribe's past battles, scenes of their usage of the Celestial Eye had been preserved in the Eye World.
One of the scenes was exactly the same as what Lu Yin was doing right now. Someone had touched something with their hand, and Lu Yin now knew that they were touching the Ten-Eyed Crow's eye. Someone from the Celestial Eye Clan had obtained one of the Ten-Eyed Crow's eyes.
That scene overlapped with what he was currently experiencing, and Lu Yin finally understood. He released his eye power and connected it with the Ten-Eyed Crow's eyes.
The purple eye power oppressed the heavens, causing the surroundings to sink. The Ten-Eyed Divine Crow's eyes were intelligent and cold as it stared at the Heavenly Eye.
Lu Yin suddenly struck out with his palm and struck the Ten-Eyed Crow's eye, causing the eye to become dazed and stunned. It was at this moment that Lu Yin's pupils boiled and completely enveloped the eye, plucking it off.
The moment the eyeball was plucked out, it suddenly shrank and turned into a ray of light that flowed into the Heavenly Eye.
Lu Yin took a few steps back, feeling dizzy. He immediately sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to cultivate.
The Heavenly Eye was undergoing a metamorphosis. Other people might not be able to do it, but the Heavenly Eye Race could.
Even if Lu Yin had plucked out the Ten-Eyed Crow's eye, he would not have been able to fuse it with his own body and would have only been able to use it as a turbid treasure. However, because of the Heavenly Eye, this eye would become his own ability.
This was a gift from the Heavenly Eye Race, a method that their ancestors had used.
Days passed, and the Heavenly Eye on Lu Yin's forehead would occasionally expand and shrink. Blood dripped down from his forehead, and there was an unforgettable pain. However, Lu Yin had experienced this pain more than once, so he could endure it.
As the eyes fused, unfamiliar memories suddenly appeared. He saw battle after battle and civilization after civilization, and all of this came from the Ten-Eyed Crow's memories. He saw a red-clothed woman being frozen in the void, and a terrifying killing move followed, but it was also blocked by her red umbrella.
He saw a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes unleash a powerful punch that could shatter the heavens.
He also saw an elder with seven needles at his fingertips.
Lu Yin's memories constantly changed, and he could not see the specifics at all. Many scenes flashed by. Suddenly, Lu Yin opened his eyes, and the Heavenly Eye on his forehead also opened. He panted heavily and only recovered after a while. He did not dare to look at the Ten-Eyed Crow, as this crow had two eyes, and only the heavens knew what abilities it had.
He immediately teleported to the crow's back, and only then could he not see its eyes.
At this moment, the Heavenly Eye on his forehead had a trace of spirituality, and it constantly rotated.
Lu Yin used the Heavenly Eye to look in a certain direction, and the void suddenly froze. Black lines suddenly appeared and extended into the distance like a black tunnel.
This was the ability that had frozen him.
Lu Yin was delighted, as he had obtained it, but he did not know what level of experts it could freeze and how much of an effect it would have on Red Hero.
Also, it could be used against Xian Ling, as this ability was suitable for dealing with teleportation.
Just as he thought about this, Lu Yin felt that something was wrong. The Ten-Eyed Crow had killed Xian Ling before, so she definitely knew about this ability. In that case, she might be able to freeze him the first time, but she might not be able to do so the second time. Once Xian Ling knew that he had obtained the Ten-Eyed Crow's eyes, she would definitely be on guard.
This was not the best method to deal with Xian Ling. As long as those strange birds did not make eye contact with him, it would be difficult to stop teleportation by just freezing the void.
Other than that, the Heavenly Eye could now see very far, and it was close to the limit of the Mirroring Technique. This should have something to do with his cultivation, as once he broke through to the Eternal Realm, the distance he could see would transform, and he would be able to see even further.
At the same time, there was another ability that surprised Lu Yin. As long as someone was looking at him, he would be able to sense it, regardless of the distance. Of course, he had to open the Heavenly Eye.
Even if it exceeded the limit of the Mirroring Technique, as long as someone was looking at him, he would be able to see that person. This was the special ability of the Ten-Eyed Crow's eyes, and it was truly ruthless.
The ability to freeze someone came from the Ten-Eyed Crow. In that case, it would be called Crow Freeze.
Lu Yin looked at the Ten-Eyed Crow's back. It still had two eyes left, and he did not know what ability it had.
He did not dare to try it, as the Crow Freeze was already very risky. The first time, he did not know what it was, otherwise, he would not have tried it unless there was an absolute powerhouse protecting him.
If he faced the abilities of the other two eyes, he would be easily toyed to death. After all, the seven eyes had been taken away, and the last eye would definitely be the most difficult to deal with.
The Ten-Eyed Crow was clearly dead, but its eyes were still so powerful. It was hard to imagine how powerful it had been at its peak.
In his memories, he vaguely saw several Base Masters attack, including Hong Shuang. He saw her, and it was very similar to what he had seen when Yi Tianque's memories were shaken. Hong Shuang might be in the Mirage Domain.
There was also a middle-aged man, and he did not know who he was. That old man was definitely the master of the Seventh Stronghold, and he held seven needles in his hand. The Seven Needles of Yama were fascinating.
Lu Yin closed the Heavenly Eye and looked at the Ten-Eyed Crow deeply before leaving.
In the future, he would definitely come again after he learned more about the Ten-Eyed Crow. As for the remaining two eyes, he hoped that they would not be taken away by others.
Extreme innate gifts were too difficult to deal with.
He teleported back to the three universes, and as soon as he arrived, he saw Grandmaster Qingcao in Ye Hai.
When he saw Lu Yin return, Grandmaster Qingcao said, "Do you not know about the forced recruitment?"
Lu Yin was surprised. "Forced recruitment?"
"You can refuse, but you only have one chance," Grandmaster Qingcao said.
Lu Yin pondered this, as he did not know if he should refuse.
Qinglian Yu appeared. "Do you know who the opponent is?"
Grandmaster Qingcao shook his head. "I will not inform you in advance."
"Untraceable?" Lu Yin asked. If a strong enemy appeared, they should be able to detect it, such as Xian Ling.
Grandmaster Qingcao's expression was solemn. "The unknown does not have a fixed range, and this battle might take place extremely far away. No one knows about it, and there must be someone among the unknown that knows who the strong enemy is, but that person will not tell us."
"Could it be Xian Ling?" Qinglian Yu guessed.
Lu Yin was also thinking that if it was Xian Ling, he would participate in the battle. After all, the human civilization had been targeted by Xian Ling, and if he helped the unknown to deal with Xian Ling, it would reduce the pressure on the three universes. The more he understood Xian Ling, the more he would be able to deal with it. But what if it was not Xian Ling?
What kind of strength would the unknown be?
For the unknown to be forced to participate in the battle, one could imagine how strong the enemy was. Lu Yin did not want to get involved, as he did not sincerely want to join the unknown, and he wanted them to be destroyed.
There was no conclusion to this kind of discussion, and there were only two choices: to go or not to go.
Lu Yin entered Trace and wanted to chat with others to see if he could learn anything, even though the possibility was very small.
However, when Lu Yin entered Trace, he discovered that there was not even a sliver of possibility because his voice could not be transmitted.
Eight Colors sealed everyone's voice, and at this moment, no one in Trace could talk to anyone else.
"Lu Yin, you are being forced to participate in the battle. Do you want to participate?" Eight Colors asked.
Lu Yin asked, "If I participate, can I withdraw when I am no match for the enemy?"
"This is war, and like all the wars you have experienced, it is not a game."
"I have a chance to refuse, right?"
"Sure."
Lu Yin didn't want to participate, but he only had one chance to do so. Especially since Eight Colors had said that the next opponent he would be forced to fight would likely be Xian Ling. "Eight Colors, you pulled me into the Unknown mostly to deal with Xian Ling. If the opponent is Xian Ling, I'll definitely participate. Can't you even tell me this?
If you don't tell me, I might just refuse. "
"You have the right to refuse, but only once." Eight Colors was stubborn. Lu Yin was helpless. "What are the benefits of participating?"
"Killing the enemy powerhouse will give you a corresponding reward. The advantage is that the difficulty is lower than actually completing a mission. It is very difficult for you to complete a Four Stars mission, but you might be able to do it in the war. The disadvantage is that it is very difficult to use other civilizations. No civilization is stupid, and the scale of the war can make them retreat."
Lu Yin understood. Logic told him that he should not participate, even if he did not have the right to refuse next time. Who knew when the next time would be? Perhaps he would have broken through to the Eternal Realm by then. If he could protect himself in the war, this was the best choice.
Also, if Red Hero had the right to refuse, it would be disadvantageous to the three universes if he did not go.
Lu Yin told Eight Colors about this concern, and Eight Colors said, "During the war, the designated civilization will be protected by the unknown for no reason."
"The protection period is a thousand years after the war."
Lu Yin was shocked. "A thousand years after the war?"
Eight Colors said, "Yes."
"Did Red Hero participate in the battle?"
"No comment."
