After reclaiming the beast, Senju Yukika named it Qiongqi. However, the turmoil that followed did not settle quietly as Yukika had anticipated.
At that moment, as if at the edge of time and space, across millennia, a pair of eyes slowly opened, standing at the ends of the earth. The sea's horizon was silent and still, watching Yukika without saying a word.
Traversing the vast cosmos, an inexplicable force seemed to descend upon the entire ancient kingdom of Loulan!
Yukika instantly sensed it. He stared into the distance, quietly feeling it for a moment, then his eyes flashed with disdain…
"If you wish to display your power and challenge me now, I don't mind completely suppressing you within the cycle of reincarnation!"
Yukika's voice echoed softly, responding to that gaze.
In his eyes, there was undoubtedly a trace of hostility, but also a flicker of curiosity.
The other was also pondering: who is Senju Yukika, and why did his sudden appearance disrupt my plans?
The truth was, although this beast's chakra had been forcefully stripped away by the monk, it was a crucial piece in his grand strategy!
He had planned this move for a long time, calculating across the entire universe and harnessing countless forces!
The dragon vein within the ancient kingdom of Loulan was merely one stroke in his vast painting.
But Yukika's sudden appearance had completely disrupted his carefully laid plans…
"Young man, who are you? Do you know what you are doing?"
The eyes blinked gently, and a voice whispered into Yukika's ear.
No one in the entire Loulan kingdom heard this voice; only Yukika did.
Meanwhile, Sarah was leading her people, slowly approaching the direction of the dragon vein.
She saw Yukika, who had completely subdued the beast. At that moment, Yukika sat calmly atop Qiongqi, appearing so serene and mighty. His figure seemed so upright in Sarah's eyes!
Tears welled up slightly in her eyes: "Master, he's truly too powerful. Such a terrifying beast is no match for him and has been reduced to a pet."
Facing the question from those eyes, Yukika pondered for a moment and then smiled as he replied:
"Originally, there was no intersection between us, but since your presence has interfered with my plans, you will now have to step aside."
His words were measured and seemingly casual, but they carried immense confidence and dominance.
The owner of the eyes was instantly enraged, letting out a cold snort. The formless aura transformed into waves of spiritual pressure, descending upon Yukika's mind!
"Young man, do you know what you're doing? The supreme honor of the Otsutsuki clan is beyond your imagination. Do you think you are truly strong?"
Upon hearing this, Yukika's eyes flashed, his pupils constricted slightly, and he stood up from Qiongqi's back.
"Whether I'm strong or not, you're welcome to test it and see for yourself."
At the same time, the Fudō Myō-ō seal reappeared above his head. His left hand held the vajra scepter, and his right hand gripped the sacred staff, as vast magical power quietly spread out…
Centering on the ancient kingdom of Loulan, it continued to extend outward into the vast universe!
Yukika knew deep down that this magical power was extremely effective against the Otsutsuki clan.
The owner of those eyes was undoubtedly from the Otsutsuki clan. No matter his status within that family, in the face of Buddhist power, he was bound to be restrained!
This rule had been vividly demonstrated in the previous battle.
Just like that master who possessed countless Truth-Seeking Orbs, even someone so powerful would quietly dissolve like ice meeting sunlight when facing the Buddhist seals.
There was no explanation for this phenomenon, but it undeniably happened.
Sensing the immense magical power emanating from Yukika, the owner of those eyes changed his expression, and his aura fluctuated violently!
After quietly feeling it for a while, the entire universe seemed to fall into silence.
The Otsutsuki clan member nodded slowly and sighed: "I didn't expect there to be such an anomaly among the races of the universe, one who possesses two completely different powers simultaneously. Truly admirable and awe-inspiring!"
As his voice faded, the eyes slowly closed and no longer looked toward the ancient kingdom of Loulan.
Yukika also wanted to ask for his name and what his status was within the Otsutsuki clan.
He even wanted to understand whether there were other factions beyond the Otsutsuki clan members on the moon, scattered throughout the vast universe.
Where were their bases? What were their goals?
And what was the enmity between them and the Buddhist sect that led to the extraction and sealing of the beast's chakra within the dragon vein thousands of years ago?
But Yukika knew these questions were destined to go unanswered.
He felt as if he had stumbled into a massive chess game, like a pebble falling into a once-calm lake, stirring up countless ripples.
Yet, he felt no fear. Now wielding both the power of death and magical power, whether on Earth or elsewhere, he faced the Otsutsuki clan without the slightest trace of fear!
That was the powerful confidence that came with true strength.
Once all the lingering auras faded, Yukika sat atop the beast Qiongqi and instinctively looked up.
Inside, Qiongqi was in turmoil!
"I didn't expect the master to still be watching over this land. Will he return again?"
Thinking about how he had once chosen to abandon this human child, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret…
But as such a mighty creature, once a decision was made, it couldn't be easily undone.
The consequence of doing so would be betraying his original intent, and possibly facing heavenly retribution in the future!
The stronger one's power, the more they believed in this truth. And Qiongqi was no exception.
"What's done is done; I can only take it step by step now. I hope this kid doesn't disappoint me!"
As a formidable beast, Qiongqi's insight was sharp—he saw Yukika's extraordinary potential.
Even within the vast universe, Yukika would be a top-tier existence!
Yukika gently patted Qiongqi's head and slowly descended to the ground…
