At this moment, atop the towering mountain peak, silence reigned among the gathered crowd.
Because Senju Yukika, with his flawless and impeccable performance, had conquered the hearts of all the powerful cultivators present!
Everyone felt that Senju Yukika's strength was now more than sufficient to command all those present. A sense of frustration crept into many hearts.
They hadn't traveled from afar just to witness this—they had come to fight for the Eye of the Gods!
But after witnessing such overwhelming power from Senju Yukika, everyone began to realize that the Eye of the Gods likely had nothing to do with them anymore.
Now that Senju Yukika had established himself as the strongest, the crowd turned their attention to see how he would deal with the grey smoke barrier.
Silently, Senju Yukika approached the cliff's edge and released his spiritual pressure into the air…
In an instant, his spiritual pressure sensed the retaliatory force of the grey smoke!
It felt as if the smoke had intelligence—it detected any foreign intrusion and immediately shifted from stillness to turbulent chaos.
Tendrils of grey smoke roiled through the sky like a resurrected beast!
At this moment, the entire cliff was shrouded in mist, with the scenery of mountain and sea appearing both majestic and eerie.
Those on the mountaintop gazed at the scene in stunned silence…
No one expected Senju Yukika to provoke such a dramatic reaction from the grey smoke!
Earlier, when a high-ranking warrior had charged into the grey smoke, it hadn't even stirred. It silently dissolved the warrior's body.
But now, the young man stood calmly at the cliff's edge, and the smoke reacted with a surge of urgency—as if it were cornered and desperate.
This alone proved just how terrifying Senju Yukika's power was!
Had they not just witnessed it themselves, no one would have understood the grey smoke's behavior so deeply.
Yet Senju Yukika ignored the others' reactions and quietly studied the strange smoke. What kind of force was this, truly?
He could easily have dispersed the smoke—but curiosity had risen within him. He wanted to understand what this substance really was.
Vaguely, Senju Yukika felt that this grey smoke might be connected to certain secrets of the entire planet.
If he could solve this mystery, many other puzzles might be unraveled!
Senju Yukika stood wordlessly at the cliff's edge, and no one dared speak. They only watched.
As the grey smoke churned and twisted, Senju Yukika's spiritual pressure slowly absorbed it from the sky!
Then, the grey smoke began to resist, as if it had developed its own will—it tried to break free from his spiritual grip.
This act, however, enraged Senju Yukika!
His brow furrowed, and he let out a cold snort. The smoke reacted as though struck by thunder, sending shivers through the crowd!
The smoke's resistance weakened, and soon it no longer struggled with the same ferocity…
With time, Senju Yukika's spiritual pressure worked like a surgeon's scalpel, carefully extracting the smoke piece by piece and merging it into his energy field. Slowly, its composition became clear.
"So that's what it is… Could this be dark matter from the universe?!"
Senju Yukika was startled.
When he had traveled through the universe before, he had seen dark clouds in the starry sky from a distance!
Those clouds were unlike anything in Earth's atmosphere. They weren't actual clouds—they were made of a special material.
Wandering endlessly in the vast cosmos, like a nomadic race—but these substances weren't sentient. They were inert matter.
They were known as dark matter of the universe!
Some powerful beings in the past had traveled freely among planets in the universe.
When they first encountered this dark matter, they didn't know what it was and tried to test it!
But the dark matter had turned on them, instantly melting even the strongest warriors!
Even those who had reached godlike strength couldn't escape its fate.
These legends circulated among the countless races of the universe. But for people like Senju Yukika, living on Earth, the terror of this dark matter was never truly felt.
So he hadn't immediately associated the grey smoke with cosmic dark matter.
Only after analyzing the smoke thoroughly with his spiritual pressure did he make the connection!
"If this really is dark matter from the universe, then it's worth preserving…"
Senju Yukika nodded inwardly, letting out a quiet breath.
Just then, the entire mountain peak lit up with golden light, and the power of the Buddhist path erupted from Senju Yukika's body!
Above his head, a mighty King of Brightness sigil appeared, unmoving as a mountain. With both hands thrust forward, a massive Buddhist seal descended…
It formed an independent realm, and the crowd's hearts trembled violently. Their eyes widened in horror as though they had seen a ghost!
Senju Yukika's presence suddenly transformed—his aura before and after was too different, catching them completely off guard.
He had looked peaceful—like a calm lake.
But in an instant, he erupted like a tidal wave, sweeping out in all directions!
His spiritual pressure surged, and with his power, he grabbed the smoke from the air.
If one looked closely, it appeared that countless palms had emerged above the cliff!
Each palm radiated golden light and an ancient aura, encasing the entire cloud of smoke…
And as time passed, many suddenly gasped!
They saw that the grey smoke was slowly dissipating?!
With the smoke vanishing, the sky above the cliff grew brighter.
For a moment, the crowd stirred with anticipation!
They had hesitated to fight for the Divine Eye before due to the smoke.
But now that the smoke was thinning, they almost couldn't resist flying over to seize it!
Yet when their eyes fell on the tall, composed figure at the cliff's edge, they forcefully restrained their impulses.
Everyone understood—this was all because of that young man.
He had single-handedly neutralized the entire smoke barrier!
