Lu Yin exhaled, and the deathly aura in his chest began to circulate, and the black and white fog gradually returned to normal.
While Lu Yin was absorbing the deathly aura, Patriarch Autumnfrost traversed through space and hurried back to the Autumnfrost family as quickly as possible.
Autumnfrost Chen was dead, but he did not care. All he cared about was the device.
Looking at the shattered metal device in space, Patriarch Autumnfrost's expression turned ugly. He quickly went to the center and saw the countless black crystal fragments floating in space. He roared and began to frantically search for something.
"It's not here, and it's not broken. It must have been taken away. Who?" he muttered to himself.
In the distance, a spacecraft approached. It was the Autumnfrost family's device maker.
Patriarch Autumnfrost looked over. "Who did this?"
The Autumnfrost family members in the spacecraft were terrified, and they did not know anything.
Patriarch Autumnfrost was enraged, and he destroyed the spacecraft without leaving a single person inside.
It was as if he had gone mad, and he tried his best to find the person who had destroyed the device. However, he could not find anything.
Old Man Nong arrived and looked at Patriarch Autumnfrost, who was still searching for something. He helplessly asked, "Autumnfrost, why did you leave Ironblood Weave without permission?"
Patriarch Autumnfrost ignored him.
Old Man Nong raised his brows. "Autumnfrost, I'm talking to you. Why did you leave Ironblood Weave without permission?
Do you know that because of your departure, Ironblood Weave has been occupied by the Astral Beast Domain, and they have invaded other weaves of the Outerverse? Do you know what this means to the Sixth Mainland? "Before he could finish, Patriarch Autumnfrost roared," Scram! "
Old Man Nong was stunned, and then he grew angry. He was an amiable person, and he was not good at fighting with others. Thus, he did not have a high status among his peers in the Sixth Mainland. However, he was still a Universe Imprinter, and all Universe Imprinters treated him with respect. They did not dare to underestimate him, and Patriarch Autumnfrost had been the same in the past.
But now, this Autumnfrost had truly gone mad and dared to curse him.
No matter how good-tempered Old Man Nong was, he could not control himself. "Autumnfrost, you are unrepentant. Surrender." He then raised a hand and used his terrifying strength as a Universe Imprinter to forcefully attack Patriarch Autumnfrost from the Astral Source Universe.
Patriarch Autumnfrost clenched his fists, and his aura distorted.
When Old Man Nong's palm fell from the Stellar Source Universe, Old Man Nong suddenly raised his head. His eyes were scarlet, and his pupils turned red. An incomparably powerful aura soared into the sky and shattered Old Man Nong's palm.
Old Man Nong blurted out in shock, "Third Transformation Corpse King?"
Patriarch Autumn Frost turned and glared at Old Man Nong. "You're courting death."
Old Man Nong was stunned for a moment, but then he ran off without looking back. The Neohuman Alliance's Corpse King Transformation was an extremely terrifying battle technique. With each additional transformation, one's physical strength would increase by ten times.
A Corpse King's physical strength was already much stronger than a normal person's. Now that he had undergone the third transformation, which increased his physical strength by a thousandfold, even if Elder Autumn Frost was only a World Imprinter, he still didn't want to face him, let alone whether or not this person was Elder Autumn Frost. He was stunned.
Patriarch Autumn Frost shouldn't be a corpse king.
Patriarch Autumn Frost took a step forward, shattering space as he punched out at Old Man Nong. His terrifying physical strength formed a shockwave that pierced through the Stellar Source Universe. Everything in its path was shattered, and nothing could stop it.
Old Man Nong could sense Patriarch Autumnfrost's attack coming from behind him, and he could even hear Patriarch Autumnfrost's breathing. His eyes were bloodshot, and the crimson eyes of a Corpse King caused his scalp to go numb. He turned and lifted his hand. "Heaven Sealing Diagram," he said. As soon as the words left his mouth, a circular diagram appeared in front of him.
Patriarch Autumn Frost slammed into the Heaven Sealing Diagram.
He had thought that he could shatter it, but he had underestimated Old Man Nong and his Universe Imprinter. After all, there was still a gap between their realms.
Patriarch Autumn Frost was trapped by the Heaven Sealing Diagram, and his four limbs were bound by the astral chains. He was firmly suppressed within the diagram.
Old Man Nong turned around and left once more, showing no desire to attack.
Even if Patriarch Autumn Frost was trapped, it would still be the same. A thousandfold increase in physical strength wasn't just for offense, but also for defense. Old Man Nong wasn't confident that he could break through Patriarch Autumn Frost's physical defenses.
Roar!
With a furious roar, Patriarch Autumn Frost used his powerful physical strength to shatter the Heaven Sealing Diagram and charged at Old Man Nong once more.
Old Man Nong looked back and saw that Patriarch Autumn Frost really couldn't be killed. He had been trapped for less than ten seconds. Helpless, he attacked again and pushed the Heaven Sealing Diagram away.
This time, Patriarch Autumn Frost dodged. Although he could shatter the Heaven Sealing Diagram, he didn't want to be trapped again.
However, even though he had clearly avoided the Heaven Sealing Diagram, it still turned around and slammed into him from behind, trapping him inside.
Old Man Nong took this opportunity to speed away.
Universe Imprinters were faster than World Imprinters.
When Patriarch Autumn Frost shattered the Heaven Sealing Diagram again, he couldn't find Old Man Nong anymore.
Old Man Nong ran far away, panting as he contacted Old Man Cangqiong.
Old Man Cangqiong was shocked. "What did you say?
A corpse king? "
"Yes. Patriarch Autumn Frost is a corpse king from the Fifth Mainland's Neohuman Alliance. He used the Third Transformation and almost left me there." Old Man Nong was still afraid.
Old Man Cangqiong's expression was solemn. The Sixth Mainland also knew that the Neohuman Alliance was an enemy, but they didn't have the same attitude as the Fifth Mainland.
Back then, they had even cooperated with the Neohuman Alliance to deal with the Fifth Mainland, but that had been limited to occasional cooperation.
This was the Sixth Mainland's attitude before the Eternals destroyed it. After the Sixth Mainland was destroyed, the Sixth Mainland's attitude toward the Neohuman Alliance completely changed. Just like the Fifth Mainland, they had to exterminate the Neohuman Alliance.
In fact, they were even more resentful than the Fifth Mainland. The Fifth Mainland had a feud and rules that had been passed down since ancient times, but the Sixth Mainland had a new grudge that far surpassed the Fifth Mainland.
After learning that Patriarch Autumn Frost was a corpse king in disguise, Old Man Cangqiong immediately ordered Patriarch Lingtong to cooperate with Old Man Nong and Patriarch Wu Mu to kill him. As for the Great Eastern Alliance, that was far less important.
Old Man Nong hadn't told Old Man Cangqiong because he wanted to deal with Patriarch Autumn Frost.
"Venerable One, Patriarch Autumn Frost's Third Transformation corpse king is not something we can match up to. He's too powerful, and we'll need at least a Universal Imprinter to deal with him," Old Man Nong said dryly.
Old Man Cangqiong replied, "He's just a World Imprinter. Even if he's a Third Transformation corpse king, two Universal Imprinters will be enough to deal with him. Do you want us to take action ourselves?"
Old Man Nong opened his mouth, as that was exactly what he was thinking. However, he decided to forget about it, as Old Man Cangqiong clearly didn't want to take action.
"Venerable One, Patriarch Autumn Frost should have fled by now, and we can't find him," Old Man Nong said helplessly.
"It doesn't matter if you can find him or not. Find him for me," Old Man Cangqiong said resolutely.
Old Man Nong felt even more helpless.
At the border of the Great Eastern Alliance, Patriarch Wu Mu had also left, leaving behind only the corpse keeper.
The corpse keeper's presence was extremely weak, and everyone he saw looked like a corpse. Master Yuan didn't know how to communicate with him, and he couldn't even be bothered to ask.
On Aegis Planet, death energy poured into Lu Yin's chest, transforming into a black and white fog that swirled around him.
The amount of death energy he had absorbed this time far exceeded what he had absorbed in the past, and Lu Yin's body was being pulled towards the black sun.
Suddenly, as a large amount of death energy entered his body, Lu Yin's eyes snapped open, and he saw the shattered heavens as well as the setting sun that accompanied them. He also saw a huge, strange creature that had no eyes or limbs. It seemed to be connected to the heavens and the earth, and it swayed its body as it charged towards him.
Lu Yin's gaze traveled from far to near, and he saw a lonely figure sitting on the ground. A black scythe was stabbed into the ground by its side, and its arms were naturally resting on its knees. Its chin seemed to be pressed against the back of its hands. Even though Lu Yin couldn't see its face, he could still feel the loneliness of that figure, as well as its calmness and indifference towards that strange creature.
The lonely figure and the setting sun were instantly drowned out by the boundless black fog. The next moment, the black fog condensed into a giant black sphere that appeared out of nowhere and pressed down on the strange creature's back. The strange creature couldn't resist at all as it was pressed into the ground.
There was no sound, but Lu Yin seemed to be able to hear the creature's anguished wails and unwillingness. However, all of this was drowned out by the black fog. Finally, the black fog dissipated, and the setting sun in the starry sky gradually disappeared along with that figure and that drop of blood.
Lonely Blood — Setting Sun Transformation.
Lu Yin's eyes suddenly widened in confusion. What was that scene just now?
That figure, and that familiar scythe … Could that person be the legendary Grim Reaper?
Did that scene take place during the era of the Grim Reaper?
Everyone said that the Grim Reaper was a legend. Even though Lu Yin had cultivated death energy and could transform into the Grim Reaper, he wasn't absolutely certain that the Grim Reaper had truly existed. Perhaps it was just a figment of his imagination, and he just so happened to cultivate the image of that figment.
Even though Xiao Shi had seen it in that book, and even though the Bai family of the Frigid Immortal Sect had confirmed the existence of Fate, Lu Yin still couldn't be absolutely certain that the Grim Reaper had existed.
But at that moment, he could be sure that the Grim Reaper really did exist, and he almost saw the Grim Reaper's appearance.
As he slowly descended, the death energy in his chest had been replenished, and the black and white fog had expanded a little. Correspondingly, the Grim Reaper Transformation would definitely increase his strength. Lu Yin felt rather regretful that he hadn't been able to see that figure's appearance. If he had, he might have been the only person to know what the Grim Reaper looked like since it had become a legend.
Lu Yin's gadget beeped as he walked out of the Oddity Sect. He glanced at it and was shocked. There was such a thing?
Patriarch Autumnfrost had actually abandoned the battlefield in Ironblood Weave, which had led to the Astral Beast Domain occupying Ironblood Weave. The Sword Valley Master had even personally gone to Ironblood Weave.
At that moment, another message arrived. Patriarch Eyeless had also left, and only the corpse guards were left at the Great Eastern Alliance's borders.
Something must have happened.
The Sixth Mainland's matters couldn't be reported to the Fifth Mainland. If the matter was serious, it would gradually reach Lu Yin's ears. But right now, he wanted to know what had happened. Thus, Lu Yin raised his gadget and contacted someone, someone he hadn't seen in a long time: Xu San.
Xu San was a lackey that Lu Yin had brought from Earth, and he had disappeared to the Cosmic Sea. When the Sixth Mainland had invaded, Xu San had caught the eye of Patriarch Lingtong because of his innate gift of polycoria. He had been accepted as a disciple and had become the crown prince of the Lingtong Clan in the Sixth Mainland's Blackblood Realm.
Lu Yin had met Xu San in the Cosmic Sea, and at that time, Xu San had promised to help Lu Yin and the others as a form of repayment. After that, they had stopped contacting each other. However, after the Sixth Mainland had been destroyed, Xu San had shamelessly taken the initiative to contact Zenyu Star and Lu Yin.
