In the sky, a dim silver light illuminated the beach, as well as the woman wrapped in a black cloth in the wooden house.
Although there weren't many women on the beach, there were still some. Some had stable Battle Qi and could collect Venomous Fish, while others relied on men. However, she was different from those women. Her injuries caused her Battle Qi to be unstable, and her appearance made all men avoid her. Only Big Black was an exception.
Dong dong dong
"It's me. I caught two more fish," Big Black's voice sounded. It was full of exhaustion as it panted continuously.
The woman wrapped in a black cloth was shocked. The beach tonight was especially dangerous because if someone died, the smell of blood would attract powerful creatures from the Star River. Therefore, if someone died, no one would dare to catch fish at night for at least three days. This Big Black was quite ruthless.
"For you, I collected five fish. These fish were specially bred by the sect master of the Three Ultimate Gates in this part of the Star River. It's said that they come from very ancient times and can stabilize one's Battle Qi and recover from injuries. Only those who collect the most Venomous Fish will be rewarded. I caught five for you and almost lost my life. You should give me an explanation," Big Black growled.
The woman's voice became hoarse. "I didn't ask you to catch them. You can eat them yourself. Scram."
Big Black was furious. It pushed the wooden door open and stared fiercely at the woman. "I've had enough. Ever since I recognized you, I've been helping you. If the mission isn't enough, I'll help you. If you're injured, I'll go catch fish. If someone hurts you, I'll protect you, but you're still like this. What's there to be proud of?
"You're ugly now, and no one wants to look at you. Your voice is ruined, and your sect is gone. Who will help you? Other than me, you won't be able to find anyone to rely on."
As he spoke, Blackie noticed something out of the corner of his eye. He turned around and saw a person lying on the bed with a sword in his chest. Blackie was shocked. "Isn't this the person who came here from the Astral River not long ago?"
The woman quickly blocked the bed and stared at Big Black with her beautiful eyes. "Scram, scram."
Big Black smiled sinisterly. "So that's how it is. That brat didn't die, right? You like him? He didn't die even with a sword in his chest. Do you know him?
I'd like to see who he is. "It pushed the woman aside and walked to the bed by the window.
The woman panicked and slapped Dahei with her palm.
Dahei dodged subconsciously, only to find that the woman's palm had no Battle Qi at all. He heaved a sigh of relief. This woman used to be very strong. At least, he was no match for her. Fortunately, her Battle Qi was unstable. Otherwise, this palm would have killed him.
"You want to kill me for Xiao Bai's face?
I'm definitely going to get you today! "Big Black roared furiously before pouncing towards the woman. The people in the surrounding wooden houses heard it, but no one cared. Big Black was quite powerful in this area, and as long as the Supervisor didn't appear, no one would stop him.
Seeing Big Black pounce over, the woman panicked and once again struck out with her palm. This time, her palm was covered with a purple light, and it viciously slammed into Big Black's shoulder.
Blackie's right shoulder was split open by the palm strike, and it howled in anguish as it retreated. It stared at the woman in horror. "Four-lined battle force."
Four-lined battle force was very rare in the tidal flats. As long as one cultivated battle force, they would be able to gather pyrolyte here. However, those who had attained four-lined battle force would not be here. Instead, they would be taken to other places.
If the woman's battle force was stable, none of the clam collectors on the beach would be a match for her. Unfortunately, her battle force was unstable, and she could only occasionally erupt with four-lined power.
Big Black gritted its teeth and stared at the woman.
"Scram!" the woman shouted. As she spoke, the purple light in her hand began to fade.
Her eyes were filled with apprehension as she could no longer maintain her battle force.
Big Black sneered. "You want me to scram and even want to kill me? I'll let this Xiao Bai's face die first." He then turned around and looked at the person lying on the bed. He grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled it out. At the same time, he clearly saw the person's appearance.
In that instant, Big Black's pupils shrank as if he had seen something inconceivable. This face, this person, who was he?
Big Black didn't have much time to think. Starting from his arm, his body turned into motes of light and slowly disappeared.
Big Black was overwhelmed with shock as he watched his body disappear. He looked at the person on the bed with a helpless and fearful gaze. What, what, what was going on?
Not too far away, the woman wrapped in black cloth watched this scene in shock. She watched as Big Black gradually disappeared without a trace.
Her gaze fell on the sword, which had fallen to the side of the bed. It had been pulled out by Big Black. Although he had died, he had successfully pulled the sword out.
…
Lu Yin had a dream that his heart had been pierced by a sword. To be honest, at his level of cultivation, being pierced through the heart was no big deal. As long as his body and head weren't destroyed, he could recover. However, for some reason, he couldn't move. He couldn't move at all.
There was a sharp pain in his chest. Had he really been pierced through?
Even so, why was there only pain?
His consciousness was clear.
He was conscious, but he couldn't open his eyes or move. What was strange was that his body could still feel something. Was this a dream?
Or was it something else?
He kept wondering if he was dreaming. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest again. He sat up abruptly and saw a dark and damp wooden house. Not far away, there was a person with beautiful and familiar eyes.
…
Inside the wooden house, the woman wrapped in black cloth stared blankly at the person who had sat up. Her gaze was complicated and filled with surprise. This person was Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked at the person wrapped in black cloth. This person's cultivation was very weak, and he was also heavily injured. "Who are you?
Where is this? "
As he spoke, he saw the sword on the side of the bed and grabbed it.
"Don't touch it!" The woman hurriedly stopped him. She had seen Big Black disappear after touching the sword's hilt, leaving nothing behind.
Lu Yin was confused. "This is mine. Why can't I touch it?"
This sword was one of the six swords that the progenitor carried, and he had stolen it. However, he remembered that this sword had been aimed at him in the main hall. When he thought of this, he looked down and saw that there were still traces of blood flowing from his chest. Sure enough, he had been stabbed.
He was at a loss. How had he been stabbed?
Could it be that he and Chu Yuan had both memorized the Progenitor's Scripture and confused the sword?
That wasn't impossible.
Wait, Lu Yin's expression changed. How could his strength be like this?
Originally, the power within Lu Yin's body was clearly divided. There was a black and white fog at his chest that was blocked by the Fatesand, there were three Astral Cyclones within the three stages, and there was another Astral Cyclone between his heart and the three stages. This was the distribution of his power.
Now, however, not only was there a black and white fog at his heart, but there were also strange specks of stars. Originally, the Fatesand had blocked the black and white fog and the Astral Cyclone, but now, the remaining Astral Sources within the Astral Cyclone were gradually filling the air, mixing with the black and white fog and the specks of stars.
Lu Yin stared at his heart in a daze. How could this be?
What had this sword done to him?
His strength had changed.
Fortunately, the four Astral Cyclones were still there, but the remaining Astral Sources within the cyclones were being pulled towards his heart. More importantly, the Fatesand seemed to have shrunk, and there was a point in the middle.
A spot, that spot, could it have been pierced by a sword?
Lu Yin looked at the tip of the sword and touched his chest. If he hadn't guessed wrong, the sword had indeed pierced his heart, but the tip had been blocked by the Fatesand. Furthermore, the Fatesand had begun to disintegrate. Could Fatesand be disintegrated?
He had never thought about it before. It wasn't even a material. No, it could be a material. What was going on?
From the looks of it, the power within his body was in complete chaos. The death qi, the astral sources, and even the Fatesand seemed to have formed a strange power.
The question was, how was he supposed to use it?
Lu Yin wanted to mobilize these powers and separate them, but the chaotic power refused to budge. The death qi was holding back the astral sources, and the astral sources were also covering the death qi. This meant that he couldn't use the death qi. The astral sources within the Astral Cyclones could be used, but there seemed to be no astral sources outside to replenish them. Lu Yin was only left with his battle force and the Scripture of Eon Evolution.
"Is the astral sources still being devoured?"
Lu Yin asked as he looked at the girl wrapped in black cloth.
She nodded. "Yes. No one can replenish my star energy, and I can't use any star energy battle techniques." Her voice was hoarse and unpleasant to the ears.
Lu Yin sighed. "How did you become like this?
Xi Yue. "
The girl trembled and lowered her head to look at the ground. She clenched her fists in pain, her nails digging into her palms and dripping blood.
This girl was Xi Yue, once the brightest star of the Innerverse.
He took out the medicine he had upgraded from Shamrock Enterprises and got off the bed, "It's very effective, it can heal your injuries."
Xi Yue stared blankly at the ground and hugged her knees helplessly. She lowered her head and didn't take the medicine, nor did she speak.
Lu Yin didn't know what to say. Xi Yue was a superstar of the Souldream Tribe. When he had first joined Astral-10, she had already been the hottest star in the Innerverse. She had countless suitors, and a single word from her could drown him in spit. Her voice was ethereal and graceful, and he had even argued with her. Later on, the Souldream Tribe had joined the Great Eastern Alliance, and she could be considered one of his cultivators.
"I don't know what happened to you, but if you're willing to tell me," Lu Yin said.
Xi Yue was silent for a long time. Silver light shone in the sky once more, and her eyes were filled with tears. "It's been twenty years since you disappeared. Twenty years …" "Wait," Lu Yin was stunned and looked at her in shock, "What did you say?
Twenty years? "
Xi Yue nodded, "Yes, twenty years."
Lu Yin frowned, "Since when?"
"The ruins of the Daosource Sect have appeared."
Lu Yin gulped. Twenty years had passed, and he had only just traveled through time. Even if he counted the time he couldn't move, it had only been a month. But had twenty years passed in the outside world?
It was the sword's power that had thrown him into the river of time. Fortunately, it had only been twenty years. If it had been two hundred, two thousand, or even twenty thousand years, then things would have changed.
"How did the outside world determine that I'm dead?"
Lu Yin was puzzled. Even if twenty years had passed, he shouldn't have been considered dead. It was normal for cultivators to go into seclusion for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Xi Yue replied, "Daozi Chu Yuan, He Luo Mavis, and even the Blood Sky Sect's half-ancestor confirmed your death."
