Kui Luo came to Lu Yin's side and frowned. "She's still breathing, but she's not far from death. Her body is filled with Xia Ji's blade intent. Even the Second Nightking would be dead by now, but there's a strange power within her that's resisting the blade intent. I can't tell what it is, but it won't last long. She'll die in the end."
Lu Yin gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot. Xia Ji, it was Xia Ji's blade intent.
He knew that Xia Ji wasn't trying to kill Ming Yan on purpose; it was just collateral damage. But why here? Why the black street?
Why did it have to be Ming Yan?
Lu Yin's body trembled as he hugged Ming Yan. Right, jade! He hurriedly took out a jade from his cosmic ring and crushed it. Mister Mu, only Mister Mu could save her.
"If it's for her own good, then kill her. Every inch of her body is being ravaged by the blade intent, but she can't die. This pain is worse than death," Kui Luo said in a low voice as he looked at Ming Yan sympathetically.
Lu Yin's body trembled as he looked at Ming Yan. Even on the verge of death, Ming Yan's brows were furrowed. She was in so much pain that it broke Lu Yin's heart. "Is there any way to alleviate it?"
Kui Luo sighed. "Unless you can freeze her injuries and the blade intent in her body to stall for time and find an absolute powerhouse, you won't be able to save her."
"A Progenitor?"
Lu Yin was hopeful.
Kui Luo couldn't bear to hurt Lu Yin, but he still said, "Progenitors aren't omnipotent. They can't live forever, and they can't make others live forever either. This child's body is being ravaged by the blade intent, and every inch of her body is being ravaged by it. Even if I'm not a Progenitor, I know that an ordinary Progenitor might not be able to save her. But that's for later. Even if you find an absolute powerhouse who can save her, you have to first freeze her injuries. She can only last for half an hour at most.
Lu Yin looked up at the sky. Half an hour meant that Mister Mu would come. No, he would definitely come.
In his arms, Ming Yan was in agony as blood flowed from her body.
Kui Luo looked at Lu Yin. "She's really in a lot of pain. If you don't have a way to freeze her injuries, then end them for her. Do you want her to die in agony?"
Lu Yin suddenly thought of something and put Ming Yan down. He then took out an extreme ice stone from his cosmic ring. Freeze, this was it. The Ice Empress had once told him that an extreme ice stone could freeze all injuries, even the dead. Lu Yin had not believed it at first, but after upgrading the stone a few times, he had begun to believe it. This was because upgrading an extreme ice stone required too much money.
If there was anything that could freeze Ming Yan's injuries, it would be the Extreme Ice Stone.
Kui Luo looked at the extreme ice stone in Lu Yin's hand and shook his head. "It's not enough. This thing won't be able to freeze the injuries of a Half-Ancestor."
Lu Yin did not have the time to explain. He raised his hand, and his die appeared. He tapped it, as he could not care less about hiding it.
As the die slowly came to a stop at two, Lu Yin tapped it once more. Quickly, quickly, quickly.
Kui Luo was surprised. "What's this?
Your talent?
You have double innate talents? "
Lu Yin's eyes lit up, and he tossed the extreme ice stone onto the upper barrier. He then began to crazily toss star essence into the upper barrier.
At that moment, Kui Luo saw something that even a Half-Ancestor would find mystical.
He could not describe what he was seeing. Every time the extreme ice stone landed, the chill increased slightly.
The previous seven upgrades required 400 million star essence, and the eighth cost 800 million star essence.
The ninth cost 1.5 billion, the tenth cost 3.3 billion, and the thirteenth cost 30 billion star essence.
When the extreme ice stone landed for the thirteenth time, the surrounding void froze. Kui Luo reacted quickly and pushed the extreme ice stone towards Ming Yan. "Get out of the way."
Lu Yin hurriedly dodged.
The moment the extreme ice stone touched Ming Yan, it formed strands of freezing air that gradually covered her and eventually froze her.
Lu Yin stared at the frozen Ming Yan, and the expression on her face relaxed.
"Yan 'er," Lu Yin called out.
Kui Luo replied, "There's no need to shout. She can't hear you. Just like how many people are frozen, she's also frozen. This freezing force is enough to freeze the injuries of a Half-Ancestor. If no one breaks it open, then by the time she wakes up on her own, both you and I might have died of old age."
"Then she's fine?"
Lu Yin asked hopefully.
Kui Luo replied, "Of course not. It's just that her injuries are frozen. Without an absolute powerhouse to heal her, she'll die when she wakes up."
Lu Yin relaxed, as Mister Mu should be able to arrive.
Kui Luo looked at Lu Yin strangely, his gaze filled with surprise, confusion, and confusion.
Lu Yin sensed it. "What's wrong?"
"What you just did, was that a dice?
An innate gift? "
Kui Luo asked in amazement.
Lu Yin replied, "You're mistaken."
Kui Luo's face twitched. "I'm not stupid."
"I know."
"Then what was that?"
In outer space, a blade streaked past and slashed into the distance. A ray of light descended vertically.
Lu Yin's face turned cold. If he had not arrived, that ray of light would have shattered Ming Yan.
Kui Luo moved to block it.
In outer space, Xia Ji and Undying God looked over at the same time and saw Kui Luo.
Undying God was astonished. "There's also a Half-Ancestor. I think I've seen him before."
Xia Ji's face turned cold when he saw Lu Yin, but he did not say anything and continued to attack Undying God.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. Although Xia Ji had not attacked Ming Yan on purpose, as a Half-Ancestor, he had no qualms about attacking. Almost everyone on the black street had died, and Xia Ji had clearly been able to control the situation. He did not care about the lives of these people, and Lu Yin could not let that go.
He would settle old and new grudges with Xia Ji sooner or later, but now was not the time.
Gradually, the battle between Xia Ji and Undying God moved further and further away.
Lu Yin was still waiting for Mister Mu, but even after a joss stick's worth of time, there was still no sign of him.
Mister Mu should be fighting as well.
The Starfall Sea had been invaded, and Mister Mu could not sit idly by. However, he still could not stop the Eternals. The situation was more serious than Lu Yin had imagined.
He had overlooked this point before, but now that he thought about it, if even Mister Mu could not do anything, then what hope did the Fifth Mainland have?
He decided to return to the Innerverse and bring everyone to Jupiter. He would think about it later.
"Not good, Xia Ji can't hold on any longer!" Kui Luo cried out.
Lu Yin looked over and saw that the boundless rune lines in the distance were constantly fading away, which represented Xia Ji. Another rune line was increasing rapidly, which represented the Undying God.
The Undying God's rune lines were increasing rapidly?
What was going on?
Kui Luo's expression turned ugly. "Xia Ji underestimated the Seven Skygods. The Eternals are too ambitious.
Once the Seven Skygods reveal their true strength, something will happen. "
"What do you mean?"
Lu Yin asked as he put away the frozen Ming Yan. He had a bad premonition. Ever since he had started cultivating, he had gone through all of his memories regarding the Neohuman Alliance and the Eternals, and he realized that there were some things that could not be explained.
The deepest impression he had of the Seven Skygods was that after the Sovereign Tournament, the Seven Skygods had ambushed the top ten, but Elder Chan and the rest had blocked them all. At that time, Lu Yin had not thought much of it, as they were all Half-Ancestors. What was wrong with blocking the Seven Skygods?
But now that he thought about it, he felt that something was amiss. There were strong Half-Ancestors and weak Half-Ancestors. The Yao Emperor had suppressed Lan Xian by himself, and the Medicine Immortal and Old Blood Devil had teamed up. Only Kui Luo had been able to resist them, and Kui Luo had said that the Seven Skygods were extremely powerful. If that was the case, then how had the Fifth Mainland dealt with the Seven Skygods?
Their numbers were the same.
Lu Yin did not believe that the Drunkard and the rest had the strength to fight against the Seven Skygods. Even though the Drunkard and the rest had Origin Artifacts and were Half-Ancestors, it was impossible for all of them to reach Kui Luo's level. Kui Luo had cultivated in the Cosmic Tree Realm, broken through three stages, and possessed an Origin Artifact.
In particular, Lu Yin had fought with Xia Ji before, and Xia Ji had not given him the impression that he was as strong as Kui Luo.
Kui Luo's gaze turned serious. "Since ancient times, humans have prided themselves on their intelligence, but they are not the most intelligent. The Eternals are also intelligent since they were born from humans. Some Corpse Kings were even evolved from humans. Because Corpse Kings have lived for so long, some of their schemes are different from humans.
"We humans have a saying: 'Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.' However, ten years is ten million times longer for a Corpse King."
In the distance, Xia Ji's blade shattered, and he continuously retreated as he shouted in disbelief, "With your strength, how is this possible?
How can you use three forms of Blade Intent to break through my ancestor's three forms of Blade Intent? You actually know three forms of Blade Intent?
Impossible. "
Kui Luo raised his head. "The Seven Skygods are seven ancient monsters that were born a long time ago. They are absolute powerhouses even in the Progenitor Realm. This is what your ancestor told me. Such powerhouses, even if they use the body of a Half-Ancestor, are not existences that ordinary Half-Ancestors can contend against. However, in this wasteland, they continue to hide. Even in death, they only retain a portion of their strength that you believe to be true. This is because their schemes are too great, and they are so great that they do not wish to draw attention to themselves. They are so great that there is no need for them to attack this wasteland.
Lu Yin stared blankly into the distance as Xia Ji continuously coughed up blood. The Undying God had used three forms of Blade Intent.
"The true Seven Skygods are all monsters. They can arrange Half-Ancestor bodies in various regions of the universe. This is something that ordinary Progenitors cannot do. I'm going to attack," Kui Luo said as he stepped forward. If he did not attack, Xia Ji's fate would be sealed.
Although Lu Yin hated Xia Ji, now was not the time for internal strife.
In outer space, the Undying God had completely changed. He no longer looked lazy and ignorant as he casually rested his blade on his shoulder. "I didn't want to play with you, but you woke me up. Sorry, you can die now." With that, his withered grey hair fluttered as he slashed out with his blade. It was three forms of Blade Intent, but it was also not three forms of Blade Intent. This Blade Intent's sharpness carried an indescribable trajectory. This blade seemed to transcend the ages and overlap with time. It was a blade from the present, but also a blade from the past. This blade was unbreakable.
Xia Ji had cultivated three forms of Blade Intent and believed that he could rival Progenitor Chen. His inner world had even formed a blade that was identical to Progenitor Chen's clone. However, at this moment, he was unable to block this blade that had come from an unknown time period. He could only watch as the blade descended. Suddenly, a hazy sound descended, causing the blade to become clearer.
