Eye System - Chapter 263

The Master of the Blood Sword Group had become famed and known for his extremely powerful body and his skill in swordsmanship, but it was also common knowledge how he came to be so powerful.

Growing up with a frail body, his one dream was to one day have an invincible and powerful body, and he truly managed to get close to his dream.

Despite only being an External Cultivator that has only tempered his body, he can rival even high-level Mortal Kings even though he is only a mid-level Mortal King, and that is without the use of his swordsmanship.

His body despite being frail was very well suited to tempering using Evil Energy and specifically the Blood Body Tempering Art that was supposedly granted to him by an elder of the Blood Moon Sect.

Because of that, not only did his power deter most from being enemies with him, but also his backing and the support of the Blood Moon Sect that he may have.

However, he was yet to be able to have much footing on the continent and ruled over a relatively small, remote and weak region when compared to the central parts of the continent.

The Blood Body Tempering Art involved soaking in the blood of cultivators and then streaming the blood essence into his own body and using it to strengthen his body. He would then circulate Evil Energy around his body to solidify the effects of the blood essence and increase the strengthening further.

It was quite a difficult method to master, while one’s body needed to be able to handle such power and have the potential to be able to handle such a powerful body.

However, it didn’t come without side effects and it made the user have an unstable personality, along with requiring them to rely on soaking in the blood of others in order to maintain his Blood Tempered Physique.

While the more powerful one’s Blood Tempered Physique was, the more blood they would require, and it reached a point where the Master of the Blood Sword Group would have to slaughter hundreds and even thousands of slaves daily.

He would then absorb all of their blood into his body, and it still wouldn’t be enough at times since he would benefit more from the blood of cultivators.

His mind and soul were being tainted and affected more and more each day, while he wanted to spark a war with another region in order for there to be more bloodshed, which he would benefit from.

It was impressive he was still relatively sane and able to think clearly after how long he had been using the Blood Body Tempering Art, but it was clear that it was having effects on him.

The less suited one was to the use of evil methods, the worse the effects it would have on one’s mind, soul and body, and it was the 13th elder that Lex had already come across that had passed on the method to him.

The elders of the Blood Moon Sect were ranked in order of power, but even the 13th elder had incredible power and had only been defeated by Lex because he was yet to recover to his full power.

He had passed the order to all his subordinates, affiliates and anyone else he had contact with to attempt to capture any lone Eye Master and gave a rough description, which perfectly matched that of Lex.

They were all willing to do that for him, since he was the one that granted a lot of them the power they had, while they were even more eager to do so after hearing the reward he was offering.

For the 13th elder to be willing to hand over his most prized evil method that he had been granted by the famed and revered Master of the Blood Moon Sect that had been sealed, he must really want to eliminate and get his hands on that Eye Master.

The Blood Sword Group was a subsidiary of the Blood Moon Sect that was owned and overseen by the 13th elder, and it was a big coincidence that Lex had crossed paths with them. Lex was already his enemy, but it was also clear to the Master of the Blood Sword Group that it was the one that his master was looking for.

Lex had heard a lot of such things from the members of the Blood Sword Group that he had massacred around the region, but he was yet to receive any definitive information.

Crushing the Blood Moon Sect was something that Lex was out to do and the giant man before him was likely to have what he was looking for.

They were both stood opposite each other sizing the other up, but then they both suddenly disappeared and all those that were watching were unable to track or see exactly what had happened.

Lex was shocked and amazed by the giant man’s speed, considering how large and clunky his body appeared to be, and managed to narrowly avoid a rapid punch that was launched towards his face.

However, it was followed up by another punch and a flurry of attacks was unleashed towards Lex, who was barely managing to keep up in terms of speed and dodge them using his Perceptive Eye.

Lex being overwhelmed in terms of speed meant that he had no advantage over his opponent in terms of physical capabilities, while it also meant that his opponent didn’t seem to have any obvious weaknesses.

Each of his punches were so fast and powerful that they caused bursts of air to be launched in the direction he was punching in, which destroyed anything in their path.

Along with that, his attacks were coherent, precise and would always be followed up by another attack, making it so that it was almost impossible to break the chain of attacks.

After a single second of being attacked, Lex had no choice but to use the Body Jolt Skill to move backwards and was impressed by how the rapid flurry of powerful attacks the man was able to pull off.

“This is getting interesting,” they both mumbled to themselves, after seeing what the other was able to achieve.
