I, the Son of the Demon Emperor, Had My Eyes Gouged Out by My Fiancée on Our Wedding Night - Chapter 56

56: The Hidden Technique Within the Emperor’s Eyes

Pfft—

Lu Yuan spat out a mouthful of bl00d.

The very heavens and earth seemed to tremble in response. Wisps of spiritual energy dissipated from his body as his complexion turned deathly pale. Yet his eyes remained calm—serene as unfathomable lake waters.

“So this is what abandoning cultivation feels like. Simpler than I imagined.”

Wiping the bl00d from his lips, Lu Yuan forced a smile. From his spatial ring, he retrieved a cultivation manual—the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Scripture gifted by his father, the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Emperor.

This was the same technique his predecessor had practiced, though that impetuous fool had built shaky foundations through half-hearted cultivation.

“Father’s scripture may not be the optimal choice now.”

After brief consideration, Lu Yuan stored the manual away. What he truly lacked wasn’t techniques—but comprehension of the Heavenly Demon Emperor Eyes.

His research had revealed these legendary pupils contained their own cultivation method—the very reason he’d schemed relentlessly to reclaim them. Few cultivators in history had succeeded in uncovering this hidden knowledge.

“Buried deep indeed.”

With the Emperor Eyes’ enhancement, Lu Yuan’s perception reached terrifying heights. Yet the true prize lay beyond surface-level abilities—a secret that elevated these ocular treasures beyond mortal understanding.

“The Chaotic Heaven Demon Scripture can maximize the Emperor Eyes’ power while cultivating the Primordial Demon Body. Their synergy creates exponential growth.”

As Lu Yuan meditated, thunderous echoes resounded through his consciousness.

Boom—

Unearthly demonic energy swirled within his pupils as ghostly chants reverberated. Violet-black lotuses bloomed amidst immortal mist, painting an esoteric inner landscape that had daunted countless predecessors.

“Most would retreat before such profundity.”

Through the mental cacophony, a magnificent obsidian palace materialized—its central dais holding a tome radiating supremacy over eternity.

“Remarkable. This scripture’s aura surpasses even a Great Emperor’s majesty.”

A mental grasp made the Chaotic Heaven Demon Scripture dissolve into streams of pure energy that fused with his being.

“Ten thousand characters of demonic truth achieving such effects!”

Lu Yuan’s eyes gleamed with revelation. In this world of cultivation, absolute strength dictated absolute control—a truth the Cloud Sword Holy Land incident had branded into his soul.

“Ha! Even if others discovered this, without vast resources, they would remain impotent.”

The scripture demanded astronomical spirit stones—a requirement that rendered it inaccessible to most. Like his father’s Ten Thousand Bones Scripture, supreme techniques demanded supreme expenditures.

This posed no obstacle for the Demon Emperor’s heir. Between his lineage’s wealth and the plundered Cloud Sword treasury now merged with the Ten Thousand Bones Sect’s reserves, resources flowed endlessly.

“Young Master, your spirit stones have arrived.”

Sect guards delivered spatial rings brimming with crystalline energy before withdrawing at his gesture.

Within his chamber, ten thousand premium spirit stones materialized in a glowing array. As Lu Yuan sat cross-legged, the first ten stones levitated—their essence crystallizing into radiant strands that entered his meridians.

Demonic energy thickened like ink as obsidian runes materialized, each absorption accelerating his cultivation.

The realm hierarchy unfolded before him:

Energy Refining → Foundation Building → Golden Core → Nascent Soul → Soul Transformation → Void Refining → Unity → Tribulation Crossing → Divine Monarch → Sacred Venerable → Great Sage → Great Emperor → Heavenly Honor

Nine sub-levels per realm.

Where ordinary cultivators might plateau at Soul Transformation despite resources, Lu Yuan’s talent propelled him through Qi Refining’s stages in minutes:

– 1 stone → Energy Refining 3rd Layer
– 3 stones → 5th Layer
– 6 stones → 7th Layer
– 10 stones → 9th Layer (Peak)

“Though at peak Energy Refining, my foundations feel unstable.”

A dark vortex swirled beneath Lu Yuan as he began compressing his realms—an audacious gambit for peerless solidity.
