The Corpse King Transformation was indeed a terrifying battle technique. In his opinion, this battle technique's value was no less than that of the three suns' ancestral qi, and it might even surpass it.
In the Hall of Honor's long history, only the Shang Qing had successfully cultivated the three suns' ancestral qi. As for the Corpse King Transformation, it wasn't just a Corpse King that could cultivate it; even a human could cultivate it. For example, Zi Rong had also cultivated it.
However, compared to Bu Kong, Zi Rong's Corpse King Transformation was clearly different.
Being able to step into the Astral Source Universe meant that Yang Kong was qualified to fight against Dao Master Si.
Dao Master Si's expression changed for the first time, and she could no longer remain calm. She watched as Yang Kong drew closer and closer to her. She stretched out her hands, causing water to surge out and form two mountains that pressed down on Yang Kong.
The two were nowhere to be seen in the plaza, and the next moment, they appeared above the Starfall Sea.
The cliffs formed by the water pressed down on Yang Kong from both sides.
Si Xiao 'er bit her lip. "Twin Cliffs, Master has even used her innate gift."
The old woman's expression turned even uglier. Although she couldn't understand the Envoys' battle, she could clearly sense that Dao Master Si had been forced out.
The two cliffs formed by the water pressed down on Yang Kong. Dao Master Si raised a finger, causing the water to turn into a thread that shot out and pierced through Yang Kong's shoulder. "Admit defeat, or the next attack will be your head."
Yang Kong's green eyes stared at Dao Master Si, and then he smiled. "I told you that you would definitely lose." He didn't do anything else, but his power level suddenly soared. At the same time, his injuries instantly healed, and he pushed aside the two cliffs and charged towards Dao Master Si.
Dao Master Si's eyes narrowed, and Yang Kong pressed a palm against her abdomen. "It's over." There was a thump as the water around Dao Master Si's body surged, and her body crashed into the eastern city, cracking the ground.
Water God's disciples hurriedly rushed over.
Everyone else watched in shock. Yang Kong had sent Dao Master Si flying? How had he done it?
His aura, power level, and injuries had all changed in an instant, and no one knew what had happened.
Lu Yin sighed. As expected, it was Bu Kong.
Just now, Bu Kong had simultaneously used the Secret Subjugation Technique, the Secret Resurrection Technique, and the Innate Talent Decomposition Technique. If Dao Lord Si hadn't held back and protected her body with water, she wouldn't have just been seriously injured. Her body might have been forcefully decomposed by Bu Kong, and there would only be one outcome — death.
This person was Bukong, and had mastered the secret magic of the Sixth Mainland. His talent and personality were all the same.
He wasn't dead.
From the fact that he was able to use a secret technique, Lu Yin knew that his memories hadn't disappeared, and he even knew how to set up sourcebox arrays. What had the Eternals done to him?
In the eastern part of the city, a large area of buildings had been destroyed. Dao Master Si lay on the ground, clutching her stomach, her face deathly pale.
Si Xiao 'er and the others gathered around her.
Dao Lord Si waved her hand. "It's fine." She looked off into the distance where Yang Kong stood towering over the Starfall Sea, looking at her with cold arrogance.
Si Xiao 'er and the others glared angrily at Yang Kong.
"You won," Dao Master Si admitted bitterly.
The disciples of the Water Goddess Bodhisattva were indignant, but there was nothing they could do.
Yang Kong was pleased with himself. "I told you before that you're not my match. That's what I said during our first battle."
"Yang Kong, if it weren't for the Corpse King Transformation, you wouldn't have been able to beat me." Dao Master Si was helped up, and there was blood at the corner of her mouth. She was also unwilling to accept this outcome.
Yang Kong snorted. "So what? The Corpse King Transformation is also a type of battle technique. Can your Water God's Dojo fight without using the Water God's Tear?
What a weakling's nonsense. "
"Yang Kong, don't go too far!" Si Xiao 'er shouted angrily.
However, Yang Kong ignored her. He was arrogant, and these people were not worthy of his attention.
"Dao Lord Si, you've lost. Remember what you promised me." With that, Yang Kong's silhouette vanished as he left.
Si Xiao 'er hurriedly asked, "Master, what did you promise him?"
Everyone else looked at Dao Master Si.
She bitterly replied, "We'll talk about it when we get back."
The battle between Yang Kong and Dao Master Si had shocked many people. An Enlighter defeating an Emissary was something that had never been recorded in the history of the Starfall Sea, but it had happened today.
To those who lived in the Starfall Sea, this was inconceivable.
As the spectators dispersed, news of this incident would definitely spread, and the entire Starfall Sea would know about it.
In the eastern part of the city, at Water God's Dojo, Dao Master Si had recovered somewhat, and her face was no longer as pale as before.
The disciples of Water God's Dojo all looked gloomy.
Dao Master Si calmly said, "Victory and defeat are common. I've lost, but you guys just have to win it back for me in the future. There are too many geniuses in the universe, and Yang Kong is just one of them. Some people become successful when they're young, while others mature later. Back then, my Water God's Dojo was suppressed by the Skyfire Dojo to the point that we couldn't even breathe.
"Master, this disciple understands," Si Xiao 'er said firmly.
Dao Master Si nodded and waved her hand, dismissing everyone. She then looked at Lu Yin.
He had been following behind Si Xiao 'er the entire time, even after returning to Water God's Dojo.
He could choose not to follow her to Water God's Dojo, but Dao Master Si was a powerhouse on the same level as the East City Emissary, and her understanding of the Eternal Kingdom was much better than his wandering around alone.
"Who is this?" Dao Master Si was puzzled.
The old woman also looked over curiously.
Si Xiao 'er replied, "This is a senior who lives in seclusion in Skyfire Dojo."
Dao Master Si was shocked. "Skyfire Dojo?"
She stared at Lu Yin, her gaze gradually sinking. "Who are you from Skyfire Dojo?"
Skyfire Dojo and Water God's Dojo had always been competitors, so she should have recognized him if he was from Skyfire Dojo.
Furthermore, Lu Yin looked like he had been drained of all his water, which seemed more like a disguise to her.
Lu Yin was indeed in disguise.
"Skyfire Dojo's Lie Yanzi," Lu Yin said.
Si Xiao 'er blinked. Lie Yanzi?
This was the first time she had heard Lu Yin mention this name.
Dao Master Si suddenly moved, surrounding Lu Yin with a stream of water. She spoke sternly, "Who are you?
There's no one in Skyfire Dojo named Lie Yanzi. "
"There is." Lu Yin was very certain.
Dao Master Si barked, "Speak! Who are you?"
"Lie Yanzi!"
The old woman cried out, "I remember now! There was indeed someone named Lie Yanzi in Skyfire Dojo's history. He once fought for the position of Dojo Master, but he failed and died. Are you Lie Yanzi?"
Lu Yin was bewildered; there really was such a person?
He had just casually mentioned it, and it didn't matter if his identity was real or not. Skyfire Dojo had already been destroyed, and Dao Master Si couldn't verify his identity. Even if he was exposed as a fake, so what? He could just leave.
Lu Yin knew that he had to convince himself before he could convince others. He was convinced that he was Lie Yanzi, so how could someone from Water God's Dojo refute him?
This was Lu Yin's reasoning.
Dao Master Si naturally knew that there was someone named Lie Yanzi in Skyfire Dojo's history, but she was just probing. Besides, Lie Yanzi was already dead, so how could another Lie Yanzi appear?
"Lie Yanzi died many years ago, and Tian Yanzi wasn't even born back then. Why should we believe you when you say that you're Lie Yanzi?" Dao Master Si asked warily. More and more water flowed out, and once she confirmed that Lu Yin was lying, she wouldn't hesitate to use Water God's Tear.
Lu Yin.
"I didn't die back then, but I was heavily injured and went into seclusion. I stayed under Skyfire Dojo's core and only came out now. You can ask your disciple where she met me."
Dao Master Si looked at Si Xiao 'er.
Si Xiao 'er recounted how she had met Lu Yin.
Lu Yin took out the Skyfire Stone.
Dao Master Si recognized the stone. "This is Tian Yanzi's power vessel. Why do you have it?"
"I don't know. When I came out, I was right under Skyfire Dojo's core," Lu Yin answered.
Dao Master Si stared at Lu Yin's eyes and then retracted the water. She said sadly, "It doesn't matter if you're Lie Yanzi or not. The Starfall Sea is now under the control of the Eternals. Since you're a human, then live on. There's no need to fight anymore."
She still didn't believe that Lu Yin was Lie Yanzi, but under the current circumstances, she couldn't figure out what benefits Lu Yin could gain by pretending to be someone from Skyfire Dojo or what he could do against Water God's Dojo.
Although the Eternals didn't restrict human freedom, everyone knew that everything was under their control. Water God's Dojo and even City Lord Yang were the same, so it didn't matter if another person from Skyfire Dojo popped out.
Lu Yin took up residence in Water God's Dojo as a matter of course.
He had leveled the Sea King's Dome and established the current Eternal Kingdom. If the Sea King, Hai Qiqi, and the others knew about this, who knew how they would feel?
The Eternal Kingdom here was very similar to the Neoverse Eternal Kingdom, with towering buildings that reached into the clouds. The architectural style was similar to that of Nightking Planet, and it was filled with a monotonous, lonely, and oppressive atmosphere.
Fortunately, compared to Nightking Planet and the Neoverse's Eternal Kingdom, this place was much livelier. It was full of people, and the architectural style was brought to a different level of hustle and bustle. This was the ability of humans. Given enough time, they could assimilate many things.
Water God's Dojo occupied a large area, and Lu Yin had his own courtyard.
The old woman would occasionally stare at his courtyard with a vigilant gaze. Si Xiao 'er had tried to look for Lu Yin several times, but she had stopped her.
Here, there was both day and night.
When night fell, a giant crescent moon hung in the sky, as if it had risen and fallen from the Starfall Sea. It overlooked the entire Eternal Kingdom from the highest point of the tower, and it was like a pair of eyes that watched over everyone.
Lu Yin looked up and stared at the huge crescent moon, his thoughts unknown.
Si Xiao 'er came over and sat beside Lu Yin. "Senior, are you really Li Yanzi?"
Lu Yin nodded. "Yeah."
Si Xiao 'er propped up her chin. "I don't know why, but Master and the others just don't believe me."
Lu Yin smiled. "Li Yanzi is a dead person in the records, and it was a long time ago. It's normal for them not to believe me."
"Your seniority is higher than my master's. What was the Grayweed Continent like when you were young?" Si Xiao 'er asked curiously.
Lu Yin pursed his lips. How would he know what the Grayweed Continent was like? "Back then." He sighed, and Si Xiao 'er looked forward to it.
"I forgot."
Si Xiao 'er blinked. "What?"
Lu Yin calmly replied, "I forgot."
Si Xiao 'er was confused. "Forget-Forgotten?
How could you forget? "
Lu Yin was puzzled. "How could you not forget?
It's too long ago. Can you remember everything from when you were three years old? "
Si Xiao 'er shook her head honestly.
"That's right. It's only been a few decades since you were three, but what about me?
How many years have passed since then?
There can be many of you, so isn't it normal to forget? "Lu Yin said matter-of-factly.
