The Soul Master's face twisted and grotesque with a maniacal laugh. All the power within his body was frantically drawn away, converging into his golden eyes like rivers flowing into the sea. His body, which had just experienced a brief resurgence, quickly became withered and emaciated again.

Its skin clung tightly to its bones, making it resemble a skeleton draped in human skin, except for its terrifyingly bright golden eyes.

"Mirror Eyes falls!"

With a roar from the Soul Master, filled with boundless ambition and determination, the ultimate power of the Golden Eyes was fully activated!

The Soul Master's consciousness began to transform into specks of golden light, peeling away from the aging body along the golden pupil, like a swarm of bees breaking free of their cage, condensing into a golden beam that shot towards Li Yu's left eye.

He intends to use Li Yu's left eye as a medium to completely usurp her place, transforming Li Yu's young body, which has unlimited potential, into a new divine body that carries his eternal ambition!

Li Yu felt as if a red-hot iron had been plunged into his left eye, and an irresistible golden energy surged in instantly. A vast and enormous consciousness was forcibly squeezing into his mental sea.

Even with the Triple Soul-Devouring Eye in his right eye operating wildly and the dark power constantly attacking, it was still difficult to stop the golden beam of light from further eroding through the channel established in his left eye.

At the top of the entire deep tower, the golden light of possession and the black power of devouring collided wildly, emitting a deafening energy roar!

The entire majestic tower trembled violently under the struggle between these two powerful forces, its walls cracked, and the artifacts on the top of the tower were annihilated as space twisted.

This tower, a symbol of the pinnacle of power in the underworld, seems poised to crumble completely at any moment!

After a short while, the intense energy conflict subsided.

The Soul Master's triumphant and excited voice resounded directly in Li Yu's mental sea, carrying an undeniable declaration of victory:

"Hahaha!"

"Success! Perfect link!"

It went too smoothly, so smoothly that even the Soul Master himself felt a little unreal.

Given Li Yu's previous display of confidence and strength, even a fleeting moment of counterattack would have been enough to interrupt and severely injure him, or even have the chance to kill him outright!

"Li Yu, you are ultimately too confident. Your great strength has given rise to a fatal arrogance."

The Soul Master's voice carried a mocking tone and a hint of barely perceptible relief:

"In such a critical and desperate situation, are you still stingy with your power, unwilling to overdraw your life and superpowers for a final gamble?"

"This is truly a stroke of luck!"

However, just as the Soul Master was feeling triumphant and preparing to completely seize Li Yu's consciousness in one fell swoop, a sudden change occurred!

Outside the deep tower, an extremely faint yet incredibly fast streak of light rushed towards them.

Like lightning tearing through the darkness, it ignored spatial distance, the dense white fog barrier at the top of the tower, and even the solid structure of the deep tower itself.

"Pfft—!"

With a soft sound, the stream of light easily pierced through the deep tower, precisely striking the heart of the Soul Master's aged body!

At the same time, the last ray of golden light in the eyes of the Soul Master's body also flowed completely into Li Yu's left eye through the connection.

The withered body shuddered violently, the golden pupils in its eye sockets dimmed completely, and then, like a puppet with its strings cut, it collapsed to the ground, lifeless and completely devoid of any vitality.

"Heh... this is your backup plan? A long-planned, deadly arrow?" A loud laugh, even tinged with a twisted admiration, came from the Soul Master's spirit body in Li Yu's left eye:

"Decisive! Precise! That arrow was indeed enough to kill me, but it was too late!"

"Li Yu, do you understand? It's too late!"

"Even if I were to destroy my already decaying body now, it would be pointless!"

The Soul Master's consciousness and most of his power have been perfectly transferred through the Golden Eye Link and successfully injected into Li Yu's eye, occupying his left eye.

In his view, the outcome was already decided, and Li Yu's final counterattack was futile.

The Soul Master was filled with a sense of smug satisfaction, as if victory was assured:

"My consciousness now coexists with yours!"

"Next, all I need to do is use the final power of the Golden Eye to completely devour your consciousness, completing the final step of this Mirror Eye's fall..."

The Soul Master's voice trembled with extreme longing, shattering his previously composed demeanor and revealing a raw, uncontrollable excitement:

"Your perfect and powerful body, and your coveted potential, all of it will belong to me!"

"At that time, I will use your body to become a more powerful and perfect new Soul Master!"

"Reborn in the name of Li Yu! Ultimately, I will become the Lord of Humanity, a position you dare not even imagine!"

"Isn't all of this exactly the same as the conditions we agreed on before? Hahaha!"

The Soul Master's spirit laughed wildly in the golden river of light in Li Yu's left eye, and began to condense golden energy, forcibly surging into Li Yu's spiritual sea, preparing to launch the final devouring.

However, just as the Soul Master was determined to succeed and rushed into Li Yu's spiritual sea to seize it—

A voice, full of mockery, languid yet tinged with an eerie sinister quality, suddenly resounded above Li Yu's mental sea like a ghost:

"Tsk tsk tsk... Li Yu, what did I tell you?"

The tone of the voice was flippant, and it even seemed to carry a boastful attitude:

"As long as you obediently play dumb and act with this old man, luring him into his own eyes to close the door and unleash the dogs... oh no, leave the rest to me, and the energy will be a piece of cake, right?"

"I've been waiting impatiently for this 'feast'!"

Upon hearing this, the Soul Master's spirit body stiffened abruptly, and his maniacal laughter came to an abrupt halt!

This voice, filled with negative emotions, clearly did not belong to Li Yu! Nor did it belong to any ghost he knew!

The Soul Master looked up in disbelief, quickly gazing in the direction from which the sound was coming from.

Above Li Yu's mental sea, an enormous, pitch-black eye had appeared, seemingly out of nowhere!

Those eyes were as deep as a black hole in the universe, yet they gleamed with a playful and greedy light, staring at him intently with a smile on their face!

The Nightmare Beast had been lurking here for a long time!

The Soul Master felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave!

He fell for the trap!

The Soul Master looked up at the enormous black eye above, which resembled the embodiment of the abyss, and felt the pure and ancient spiritual suppression emanating from it.

He instantly realized that this was a deadly trap meticulously designed against him!

Li Yu's seemingly helpless and powerless resistance, and her contrasting actions of being unwilling to overdraw her strength, were all a disguise!

The purpose was to make him feel at ease and fully commit, so that he would fall into the trap prepared for him!

The Soul Master's spiritual body trembled violently within Li Yu's vast and boundless spiritual sea, filled with shock and rage!

"A Nightmare Beast?!"

"Li Yu, you actually coexist with this evil creature that feeds on souls?! You've utterly degenerated and are a disgrace to humanity!!"

The Soul Master had clearly recognized the Nightmare Beast, and its roar carried a kind of humiliated rage.
