How is it impossible? Qian Jin looked at the bizarre half-shield emerging from the ruins, a shield so strange that even his Zhanmadao couldn't scratch it; if it could be restored, it could become a Holy Relic. Could it possibly not block your immature Destruction Demon Eye?

"Kuangge."

Qian Jin called out, taking the strong bow from Fen Tu Kuangge’s hands, nocking an arrow onto the string, instantly locking onto the Blood Bat bloodline Martial Artist high in the sky. "Come down here!"

The scorching ray of the Destruction Demon Eye once again blocked the path of the arrow. The airflow, instantly pierced by the arrow's rotation, vanished. The powerful arrow turned to ash long before it could touch the Blood Bat bloodline Martial Artist.

Terrifying...

Although the arrow missed the Blood Bat bloodline Martial Artist, Lucifer Liushui broke out in a cold sweat. This ordinary warrior was too frightening. If it weren't for the Destruction Demon Eye, that strike would certainly have hit its mark! Perhaps, without holding Le Ke, he could have used his control over sound waves to dodge the attack. But while holding him, dodging was absolutely impossible.

High in the sky, Lucifer Liushui glared hatefully at Qian Jin on the ground as he gradually retreated into the distance. Under these circumstances, neither could do anything to the other. If the Destruction Flame erupted, he couldn't prevent the incoming arrows, but if the arrows were fired first, they would be blocked by the Destruction Demon Eye.

Gradually... gradually... Lucifer Liushui's figure disappeared into the yellow sand of the sky.

The brutal battlefield returned to its initial silence. On the ground, besides the slain Sand Scorpions, there was only the corpse of Qian Wuchen.

The remaining three stared blankly at Qian Jin. Just a day or two ago, Qian Jin couldn't have defeated Lucifer Liushui or Qian Wutian in a one-on-one fight. Now, with just a single move, he had defeated both! If those people hadn't possessed so many means of escape, they would probably all be corpses now.

Fen Tu Kuangge stared dazedly at Qian Jin. "What you used just now, was that Dou Xin?"

"Dou Xin?" Qian Jin gently raised his palm. The surrounding wind and hot currents rapidly gathered in his palm, seeming to refract the light from the sky—transparent yet visible to the naked eye.

"Yes, Dou Xin!" Fen Tu Kuangge walked towards the mountain body. "It’s inside you, a Dou Qiao serving as the central point, almost as if it’s alive. It can even communicate with or control the surrounding airflow and power."

Qian Jin nodded lightly. Fen Tu Kuangge’s description was spot on. The reason he could defeat those two powerhouses wasn't because his own strength surpassed theirs, but because he could borrow the power surrounding his body to fight them.

They didn't lose to a person; they lost to the power of the surrounding environment!

"How large is your borrowing radius?" Fen Tu Kuangge suddenly remembered a crucial question.

"Radius?" Qian Jin waved his hand to measure. "About half a meter."

"Half a meter..." Fen Tu Kuangge let out a long breath. Fortunately, he hadn't said anything more terrifying. A normal awakening of the Dou Xin consciousness could intercept power from a radius of at least one meter. It seemed that although the Dou Xin had formed, due to a possible mutation, it hadn't reached the normal one-meter radius.

However... Fen Tu Kuangge curled his lips. Even half a meter was incredibly terrifying! Lucifer Liushui just now was at the level of a Ninth Battle Subduing Demon, perhaps not the peak level, but certainly one of the near-top existences among Subduing Demon Warriors. Yet, Qian Jin repelled him with a single palm strike. Doesn't that mean...

In the Subduing Demon realm, Qian Jin was invincible with his Fourth Battle Subduing Demon strength?

That made sense! Fen Tu Kuangge nodded. Warriors below the Subduing Demon realm could not mobilize the power of heaven and earth. How did a freak like Qian Jin manage this? It required ceaseless purification of Dou Qi, purification upon purification, purification—it couldn't be achieved simply by merging one's will with Dou Qi!

Dou Xin, Fen Tu Kuangge sighed softly. According to his grandfather, possessing a Dou Xin below the Ninth Battle Subduing Demon was nearly impossible. Unless an extremely pure Fire-attributed Dou Soul master was willing to help, exhausting a large amount of their own power, and the recipient’s vitality was strong enough to survive the burning and refining of their Dou Qi by the Fire-attributed Dou Soul... it was possible, but the actual practicability was near zero.

Troublesome... Fen Tu Kuangge looked at Qian Jin and shook his head. His Dou Qi wasn't Fire-attributed, so it couldn't be refined! Even if he cultivated all one hundred and eight Dou Qiaos, his Dou Qi purity could never match the Six Ultimate Bloodline Warriors—every one of them cultivated the Dou Qi bloodline secret arts of the one hundred and eight Dou Qiaos.

Mobilizing the power of heaven and earth, coupled with Qian Jin’s strange defense... Fen Tu Kuangge shook his head again. A punch from someone at Qian Wuqing's level probably wouldn't even scratch him. The Dou Xin consciousness wasn't just helpful for offense; it also provided very strong defensive capabilities.

"Say, Kuangge," Duan Feng Bu’er climbed out of the sand. "What is Dou Xin consciousness? Among the four of us, you're the one who understands these things best, so explain it to us."

"Dou Xin consciousness," Fen Tu Kuangge pondered for a moment. "Simply put, it’s the most crucial step in condensing the Dou Soul. It allows a warrior to borrow the power of the earth and sky to fight. The stronger the Dou Xin consciousness, the larger the combat radius they can control. Of course, the Dou Xin consciousness isn't something you can achieve merely by grinding away in seclusion. It's quite mystical to explain."

Qian Jin picked up the heavily injured Che Ke Fu Litte, then bent down to retrieve the half-piece of strange shield, examining it on all sides. Finding no damage, he tossed it back into the Dou Realm.

"Wait a moment." Che Ke Fu Litte raised a finger toward the sand nearby. "When the Blood Bat bloodline Martial Artist took Lucifer Liushui away just now, I saw a scroll fall from the Tenth Princess’s body. It doesn't look like a magic scroll."

Everyone paused. Che Ke Fu Litte wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Do you all think she just happened upon us by luck? Or that she deliberately came to hunt me down? A Tenth Princess of the Lucifer Royal Family, someone of noble status and proud demeanor, would come to hunt me? Risking being beaten to death by the Qian family, sneaking into the Ancient Desolate Sand Sea?"

Qian Jin nodded repeatedly. Even with the backing of the Destruction Demon Eye, its effect would probably be negligible if she truly encountered a Qian War expert. And if the Qian Family Head knew a Demon Race princess had entered Qian Prefecture, he probably wouldn't even send an Elder; he'd deal with her personally and extinguish her.

"She definitely has a purpose for being here!" Che Ke Fu Litte pointed at the scroll almost covered by sand. "When I saw that female demon leaving, her eyes swept over that scroll with infinite longing and worry. It was precisely because I saw her expression that she wanted to kill me when she left."

Silencing the witness! If there was some strange treasure or secret, killing to keep quiet was an entirely normal procedure.

Duan Feng Bu’er bent down and picked up the scroll, carefully unfolding it bit by bit. His eyes immediately lit up. "Eh? This is a topographical map! And it's a map of this very place."

A topographical map of the Ancient Desolate Sand Sea? Did someone actually draw a map of the Ancient Desolate Sand Sea and manage to leave alive? That was truly astonishing!

Qian Jin looked at the map Duan Feng Bu’er spread out. The mountains marked on it, and the enlarged drawing of the mountain beside them, were indeed the metal mine behind them!

"This is?" Qian Jin looked at the schematic diagram of the mine’s interior on the map. At the end of the tunnel, there was a water source.

"This drawing is quite accurate." Duan Feng Bu’er pointed to the water source marked on the map, then turned back to point at the high mountain cave. "I checked inside just now; it doesn't seem to be a place inhabited by demonic beasts. It’s very clean, and there’s a pool of water at the end. Whether the water is poisonous or not, I’m not sure. We’ll need our Potion Master to help determine that."

"Potion Master, Potion Master, not yet a Master," Qian Jin measured with his hand, the distance of a strand of hair. "Just a little more, just a little bit."

Duan Feng Bu’er shook his head repeatedly watching Qian Jin’s corrective posture. A top-tier Potion Master would make the Guild Master of the Everflow Potion Guild view him with immense respect. Such a young, top-tier Potion Master would probably frighten the Guild Master speechless. Yet, Qian Jin didn't seem to think being a Level Ten Potion Master was that amazing.

"Potion Master..." Qian Jin shook his head with a wry smile. Even if he truly became a Potion Master, what would there be to be proud of? At least Uncle Adams spoke of the title "Potion Master" as if it were no different from "Potion Apprentice."

However... Qian Jin’s eyes lit up, and he opened the Dou Realm, looking at something he had just acquired. If Duan Feng Bu’er hadn't mentioned Potion Masters, he would have almost forgotten about this thing he obtained: the Destruction Demon Eye.

The moment he dug out Lucifer Liushui’s right eye, he simultaneously opened the Dou Realm and placed the eyeball of the 'Destruction Demon Eye I' inside. This was a very peculiar space that could not store living objects. If you threw a lively rabbit inside,

Without even needing to close the space, you would see the rabbit instantly die, eyes rolled back, without even a twitch. No amount of potion could revive it once taken out.

The Destruction Demon Eye was not considered alive, yet not entirely inanimate. Placed within, it wouldn't change, nor would it rot or disappear.

Whatever state it was in when placed inside, if Qian Jin lived for a thousand years, the Destruction Demon Eye in the Dou Realm would look exactly the same as the moment it was plucked out—perfectly fresh.

Qian Jin looked at the components that originally belonged to Lucifer Liushui, now floating in the air inside the Dou Realm.

Mysterious Potion! Qian Jin recalled Oulala, the most authoritative woman in mysterious potions. She had attempted eye transplants on living beings before, but ultimately failed because the rejection between the two parties was too great.

But that didn't mean it was impossible! Oulala had said more than once that if the bloodlines were nearly identical, there was a fifty percent chance of success.
