He traveled through ten thousand years and returned as the patriarch of the demonic path.

Chapter 7 Divine Eyes

The news of Lu Heng's mission to kill the monstrous fetus in the North Sea spread like wildfire online, and everyone knew about it.

At the same moment, all television channels around the world switched signals, and Lu Heng's figure was steadily displayed in the center of the screen.

That tall, imposing figure, like a pillar of strength, occupied every screen, and no other programs were broadcast, whether on local or international channels.

Across the country, in bustling cities and remote villages, countless people put down what they were doing. Office workers stopped typing, students closed their textbooks, vendors put down their scales, and the elderly put down their fans.

Everyone looked up simultaneously, their eyes glued to the screen, their gazes fixed on the figure speeding towards Beihai, not wanting to miss a single detail even if they blinked.

The blood in their chests surged and boiled like ignited magma. A burning anticipation ignited in everyone's hearts, a mixture of worry for Lu Heng's journey and boundless hope that he could resolve the strange event in the North Sea.

Tension, excitement, and anticipation intertwined, entangling many people until their hands and feet went numb, their fingertips trembled uncontrollably, and even their breathing became rapid and disordered.

Meanwhile, in the massive conference room of the Allied Forces headquarters, the atmosphere was as heavy as frozen ice.

The representatives from various countries were initially preoccupied with their own thoughts, either talking in hushed tones or flipping through documents. However, when Lu Heng's image appeared on the screen, everyone subconsciously stopped what they were doing, and their eyes turned to the central screen, their gazes following the figure rushing towards the danger.

Qin Weilong, the representative of the Dragon Kingdom, had a face so dark it seemed to drip water. Previously, due to the North Sea strange fetus incident, various countries had gathered for negotiations, making exorbitant demands and pressing him relentlessly, filling him with resentment. Every minute at the negotiating table felt like torture.

But when he saw Lu Heng resolutely change direction and fly to Beihai, the source of chaos, his eyes, which were originally filled with gloom, suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light. His hands clenched tightly involuntarily, his knuckles turned slightly white from the force, and even his breathing became rapid.

No one was more eager to resolve the calamity of the North Sea's strange fetus than him. This eerie entity, entrenched in the North Sea, was like a sword hanging over the Dragon Kingdom, eroding the land day and night, causing the coastal people to live in constant fear, and making the representative of this country uneasy day and night, almost suffocating him.

At this moment, Qin Weilong stared at the screen, silently shouting in his heart, "Lu Heng, you can do it!"

"Hmph, it can only fly, what's so great about that?" U.S. Representative Tuckendi held a cigar between his fingers, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled swirling smoke, his tone full of disdain and mockery.

He raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at Lu Heng on the screen, and a contemptuous smile curled at the corner of his lips. "Among the superhumans in the United States, there are quite a few who are skilled in flight. He, on the other hand, went alone into the heart of the Demonic Embryo. What's the difference between that and deliberately courting death? I think he's going to die this time!"

The representative from the Sakura Kingdom, Fujiko, immediately echoed, her face plastered with a fawning yet sinister smile, her tone full of calculated opportunism. She bowed slightly, looked at Qin Weilong, and said in broken Chinese, "Mr. Qin, I think your best course of action is to obediently meet our demands. The longer the Beihai Ghost Embryo exists, the more disadvantageous it will be for you. Don't you agree, Mr. Kendi?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a greedy glint flashed in Fuji Eiko's eyes. She had long coveted the vast resources of the Dragon Kingdom and now attempted to take advantage of the crisis to plunder and gain profits without firing a single shot.

"Haha, there's an old saying in China: 'A wise man submits to circumstances.'" Upon hearing this, Teckendi's face broke into a smug, self-satisfied grin. He leaned forward, his tone emphasizing his demanding tone, "Mr. Qin, stop being so stubborn. Sign the agreement quickly. Wasting everyone's time is no good for anyone, don't you think?"

Seeing this, the other representatives from various countries remained silent. Some looked hesitant, while others watched the farce with a detached, amused attitude.

"You two short-sighted fools! Blue Star is our home. We should unite against external threats. If we allow that monstrous embryo to be born, it will benefit no one!" Xiong Guo's representative, Luo Shan, slammed his hand on the table, his voice loud and authoritative. He glanced disdainfully at Tekendi and Teng Yingzi, his tone resolute. "The Xiong Guo is determined to help the Dragon Kingdom! We are willing to contribute our strength to resolve the calamity of the North Sea monstrous embryo!"

After the words were spoken, a brief silence fell over the meeting room. The other representatives exchanged glances, ultimately choosing to remain silent and unwilling to express their opinions easily.

Meanwhile, above the North Sea, Lu Heng had already arrived at his destination. He slowly stopped, his gaze sweeping over the sea below, his brows instantly furrowing tightly.

As far as the eye could see, the entire seawater was a glaring scarlet red, like congealed blood, gleaming eerily in the sunlight. The air was filled with an intense, pungent, and unsettling stench.

Lu Heng's heart sank. He clearly remembered how lively and pleasant this sea area used to be.

The golden sandy beach stretches for miles, filled with tourists laughing and playing. The crystal-clear water is teeming with fish and corals, making it a well-known tourist destination.

But now, the beautiful scenery of the past is gone, leaving only desolation and ruin. This ignited a fierce anger in his heart, and his eyes instantly turned cold and sharp.

He channeled his spiritual power, his gaze piercing through the murky, scarlet seawater, probing deep into the ocean depths.

On the seabed, countless skeletons of various marine creatures were piled up, a stark and shocking sight that exuded a chilling aura in the dim water.

Countless marine creatures have undergone terrifying mutations. Giant, grotesque octopuses with tentacles covered in sharp suckers slowly wriggle on the seabed; shark-whales with nine scarlet eyes, each radiating ferocity, rampage through schools of fish, leaving nothing but destruction in their wake. These mutated creatures are the horrific consequences of the strange creatures that have arisen in the North Sea.

The gaze continued to extend, landing on the very center of the sea. The water there was exceptionally calm, yet subtly eerie, with layers upon layers of giant waves rising and falling rhythmically, each rise accompanied by a dull tremor.

Those were not natural waves, but rather the powerful heartbeat of a sinister entity deep within. Each heartbeat caused the entire sea to tremble slightly, as if announcing its terrifying presence.

Just then, the sky suddenly changed. The previously clear sky was instantly swallowed by thick darkness, like a huge black cloth suddenly falling and covering the entire North Sea. The light disappeared completely, and the world fell into a deathly silence and gloom.

Then, a colossal eyeball, obscuring the sky and the sun, slowly opened from the darkness.

His eyes were bloodshot, his pupils were as black as ink, and his cold and violent gaze was fixed on Lu Heng, this uninvited guest.

A powerful and terrifying pressure surged towards Lu Heng like a tidal wave, attempting to intimidate him and force him to back down.

Lu Heng's aura remained as steady as Mount Tai, like a rock rooted to the heavens and earth, completely unaffected by the oppressive force. He didn't even frown; a calm yet disdainful smile slowly curved his lips, and his voice clearly resounded throughout the world: "Is this all the ability you have? You dare to invade my Blue Star?"

This blatant provocation instantly enraged the enormous, eerie eye. Its pupils contracted sharply, its gaze turning extremely ferocious, and violent energy rapidly gathered within its dark pupils, the light growing brighter and the temperature rising higher.

The next second, a devastatingly powerful laser beam shot out, carrying a world-destroying force, instantly engulfing Lu Heng's figure completely.

The laser, like a fiery dragon, plunged fiercely into the sea, instantly evaporating the seawater in its path and producing a hissing sound.

It pierced straight through the seabed, blasting a huge crater in the seabed. A deafening roar erupted, and a towering tsunami several meters high was instantly unleashed. Giant waves swept wildly around, and the entire North Sea trembled violently, as if it were about to be overturned by this force.

As the smoke and mist gradually dissipated, the laser light also faded away.

Just when everyone thought Lu Heng had already vanished into thin air, they saw him still standing steadily in mid-air, his clothes fluttering, spotless, not even a single hair damaged, completely unharmed.

Lu Heng remained calm as he slowly raised one hand and gently grabbed at the enormous, eerie eye.

An invisible, immense force instantly enveloped the eerie eye, and the eyeball that blotted out the sky instantly revealed extreme panic. Under the invisible grip, the eyeball twisted and squeezed wildly, completely unable to resist this terrifying power.

With a loud "bang," the eerie eye, like shattered glass, collapsed and exploded completely, turning into countless black fragments that dissipated into the air.

In Lu Heng's view, defeating this strange eye was as easy and simple as crushing a piece of tofu.

People around the world who witnessed this scene via satellite broadcast were all stunned, their jaws nearly dropping to the ground, their faces filled with disbelief.

Inside the Allied Command meeting room, Teckendi's eyes widened in shock. He rubbed his eyes instinctively, checking several times before he dared to be sure he wasn't seeing things.

The mocking smile on his face froze instantly, replaced by utter shock and disbelief. He muttered to himself, "Impossible... How is this possible? How could he be completely unharmed?"

Fuji Eiko's face instantly changed from sinister to deathly pale, and then from deathly pale to solemn.

He stared intently at the screen, his heart pounding wildly, a storm raging within him: This was the divine eye of that great man, a being with the power to destroy the world, yet it was so easily crushed by him.

Luo Shan was thrilled. He slapped his thigh, stood up, his face full of excitement and exhilaration, and shouted, "Hmph! What kind of bullshit divine eye is that? We humans still managed to crush it! Well done, Lu Heng!"

The gloom on Qin Weilong's body completely dissipated, replaced by a look of relief and extreme satisfaction.

He slowly stood up, his gaze fixed intently on the screen, then glanced coldly at the pale-faced Fujieko, his voice steady and powerful: "This meeting is now over. You can enjoy your remaining days; it won't be long before you taste the bitter fruit of your actions, hmph."

Leaving behind a meaningful, cold laugh, Qin Weilong stopped looking at the crowd, turned around and strode out of the conference room. His back was straight and resolute, carrying a triumphant air.
