The second star exploded, and the mutant coughed up blood. His eyes widened, and one of his eyes suddenly turned blood-red, just like the one Yang Yi had seen underground.
The only difference was that there was a fluctuation in that eye, and a tentacle suddenly broke out of it and swept towards Lu Yin. At the same time, countless tentacles wrapped around his body and tightly wrapped around him.
Lu Yin hurriedly dodged. What was that?
The tentacles were greyish-brown like mud and covered in a disgusting slime. With its appearance, the number of rune lines it brought with it rapidly increased, and it was no less than the mutant's own.
Lu Yin looked at the Blood Ancestor, who was just as confused. "I've never seen a mutant use something like this before."
Lu Yin did not waste any time with Astral Explosion, and he immediately exploded the star while using the rune lines to erase the mutant's strength.
The mutant's Progenitor power had been greatly weakened by the Progenitor's rune lines, and Astral Explosion could easily injure him. He was about the same level as Xia Shenji's Progenitor clone, but the power of Astral Explosion could not break through the tentacles that were wrapped around him. The tentacles broke apart and extended again, and although they looked disgusting, they were unimaginably tough and had forcibly withstood the power of Astral Explosion.
At this moment, it wasn't just Lu Yin and the Blood Ancestor who were staring blankly at the mutant wrapped in tentacles. A dignified Progenitor looked like a horrifying monster.
The disc suddenly broke free from the Progenitor's rune lines, and the mutant stretched out a hand from the tentacle to grab it. The tentacles around him spread out, and he appeared in front of everyone.
Lu Yin, the Blood Ancestor, and countless others gasped when they saw him, and a chill ran down their spines.
Countless tentacles continuously extended from one of the mutant's eyes and wriggled about.
Within the Eternal Kingdom, Si Xiao 'er vomited, disgusted by the sight.
Many people around her vomited as well.
Yang Yi was stunned. Master, how did you become like this?
Bu Kong's face turned ugly, and his fingers turned white as he gripped his spear.
The mutant stared at Lu Yin, knowing that he looked sinister and disgusting, but he had no other choice. This was his trump card, and he had no choice but to use it against Progenitor Chen's strength.
He dug his hand into his eye and pulled out the blood-red pupil. Countless tendrils extended from the pupil. "This thing is called the Decaying God. I don't know where the Sorcerer Spirit God got it, but he gave it to me. With it, I can even fight against Xia Shang. Although it looks disgusting, it's quite useful and obedient."
With the pupil removed, the mutants did not look as disgusting anymore. At most, they would only lose one eye.
It would be disgusting to put that eye back on.
"I never thought that the junior who competed with my disciple would one day push me to this point." The alien looked at Lu Yin, "You can borrow Xia Shang's strength, so killing you is equivalent to taking revenge for my family." The eyeball then turned towards Lu Yin, and countless tendrils extended from it as it ferociously charged at him.
He took out a pair of slippers from his cosmic ring and handed them to E 'Chi. E' Chi grabbed the serrated blade with one hand and the slippers with the other before slamming them against the tentacles.
The tentacles that could withstand the power of the exploding stars were all broken by the slipper.
The mutants were shocked. Impossible!
E 'Chi continued to slap the slippers, and the tentacles continued to shatter.
At the same time, Progenitor rune lines descended to wipe out the mutants. The Hellwyrm also reached out with its claws from behind. Even Xia Shenji would have trouble dealing with this three-pronged attack, let alone the mutants.
He raised the disc and expanded it infinitely.
His Realm power crazily spread out, shaking the Starfall Sea.
Just as everyone thought that he was about to attack, the disc suddenly disappeared, leaving behind a boundless black trail that extended into the distance.
The void returned to normal, and there was nothing left: the disc, the mutants, and even the tentacles.
Within the Eternal Kingdom, Yang Yi's body went cold. Master has left. He has given up on this place.
Everyone could see that the mutants had fled.
This was within Lu Yin's expectations. Even Xia Shenji could not do anything to him, let alone the mutants. If not for those tentacles, he would have been killed long ago.
It had to be said that the Sixth Mainland's Three Progenitors were far weaker than Xia Shenji and the others. They were at most on par with Bai Sheng, or perhaps even weaker.
However, if a Progenitor wanted to escape, Lu Yin would not be able to stop him.
Progenitor Chen's strength was not limitless.
"Senior Blood Ancestor, why did Progenitor Chen annihilate the entire Other Family?"
Lu Yin asked. His impression of Progenitor Chen was that he was invincible in the universe and could kill Progenitors, but he should not have annihilated an entire family.
The Blood Ancestor sighed. "There was a huge grudge behind this. When the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands went to war, it was a battle to the death. Progenitor Chen had a group of loyal followers who could even be considered his disciples. Those people participated in the battle at Fan Qingshan, but they were all killed.
"If it was just a war, then it would have been fine if they died on the battlefield. However, the Other Family stabbed those people to death with spears and dried their bodies. It was extremely cruel. Some people were even stabbed to death in the bodies of giant astral beasts where they were tortured."
A thought flashed through Lu Yin's mind, and he blurted out, "An ancient centipede."
The Blood Ancestor was astonished. "Centipede?
That's an astral beast that the Other Family used. "
Lu Yin sighed. So that's how it was. No wonder, no wonder.
Progenitor Chen's disciples had been defeated by Fan Qingshan and had been stabbed to death on the ground by the Other Family's spears. Some of them had even been stabbed to death in the centipede's body. No wonder that ancient centipede had appeared. There were people who had been stabbed to death in the centipede's body, and their bodies had been dried by the wind. It was extremely cruel. Those who had died had even written some words: "I hate that I cannot protect my master until the rain clears. Hate, hate, hate." Wasn't this referring to Progenitor Chen?
Progenitor Chen loved Wang Xiaoyu and would often wait by the flowers when it rained. So that was how it was.
"There is no right or wrong in war, and dying on the battlefield is only natural. However, this kind of torture drove Xia Shang to search for the Other Family like a madman. In the end, he completely annihilated the entire family, and the Otherkin was the only survivor. Although he never expressed his hatred for Xia Shang, compared to the Nine Ministers, he only hid it in his heart.
"The Nine Ministers were especially afraid of the Fifth Mainland and did everything they could to weaken or even enslave them. He even personally took action, but the Otherkin directly betrayed the humans. The darkness in his heart is too deep."
Lu Yin did not make any judgments on this matter, as it was not up to him to make any judgments. This was war.
"Senior, was that Otherkin's eyeball really a gift from the Witch Spirit God?"
The Blood Ancestor was solemn. "I've never seen it before, so I'm not sure. Perhaps it was."
Lu Yin thought of the ancient centipede; the Otherkin seemed to be very good at using such disgusting astral beasts.
The Blood Ancestor looked towards the Eternal Kingdom. "What do you plan to do with this place?"
Lu Yin waved a hand. "Let's not talk about this for now. Senior, please tell me more about that era."
The Blood Ancestor was puzzled. "Now?"
Lu Yin nodded.
The Blood Ancestor looked down. "Don't you plan on dealing with this first?"
Lu Yin was about to speak when his eyes suddenly widened.
E 'Chi, who had been summoned all this time, stepped out of the void and slapped down with his slipper. His target was none other than Bu Kong.
Bu Kong stared blankly at E 'Chi's arrival. The Blood Sea's Progenitor's might caused him to be unable to move, and Yang Yi was the same. His only thought was that Lu Yin wanted to kill him, but even if Lu Yin wanted to kill him, was there a need to use a Progenitor's strength?
Of course, Lu Yin did not want to kill Bu Kong; his target was the Otherkin.
From the moment the Otherkin had fled without hesitation, Lu Yin had been making preparations. He had heard what the Blood Ancestor had said to the Otherkin. The Otherkin had been indebted to the Heng and Yang families, which was why he had brought Bu Kong and Yang Yi along with him when he had betrayed the humans. Regardless of his motives for betraying the humans, he definitely cared about Bu Kong and Yang Yi. Lu Yin had gambled on whether or not the Otherkin would return to rescue them.
The Blood Ancestor had simply left without any intention of trying to rescue Bu Kong and Yang Yi, which made Lu Yin even more concerned.
He had spoken with the Blood Ancestor and not approached the Eternal Kingdom in order to give the Otherkin a chance.
Lu Yin's guess had not been wrong; the Otherkin had indeed returned to rescue them. He had not given up on Bu Kong and Yang Yi.
The Otherkin moved quickly, but Lu Yin was even faster. He had long since been prepared, and rune lines covered the entire area. He had immediately sensed that something was amiss, and he had swatted the slipper down without hesitation. It did not matter if the Otherkin had appeared or not.
The tentacles had reached out from the void in an attempt to grab Bu Kong and Yang Yi, but they had been swatted by the slipper. Not only had the tentacles been broken, but even the eyeball had fallen to the ground. Behind the void was the Otherkin. He looked at E 'Chi, who had suddenly appeared, and viciously slashed out with his disc. E' Chi swatted the disc horizontally with his slipper, and there was a crack as a corner of the disc was broken. The Otherkin spat out blood, shocked by the power of the slipper. He looked at Bu Kong and Yang Yi with reluctance before turning to leave, not even taking the eyeball from the ground.
Everything had happened too quickly, and no one had been able to react in time.
Lu Yin landed in the Eternal Kingdom. E 'Chi was not too far away, and the Hellwyrm's shadow loomed over him.
He looked at the eyeball on the ground. He really wanted to smash it, but it seemed like a pity.
He could not use it, but it was still a Progenitor's item.
The Blood Ancestor landed and looked at the eyeball. "What is it?"
Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat. "Senior, are you interested?"
The Blood Ancestor panicked. "Not interested."
Lu Yin smiled. "It doesn't matter if I'm interested or not. Let's see if I can use it first. It seems like as long as there's no one controlling it, this thing won't attack of its own accord." He then disappeared without waiting for the Blood Ancestor's reply as he headed to the west side of the city.
The Eternal Kingdom was split into the east and west sides of the city. The east side was occupied by humans, while the west side was occupied by Corpse Kings.
Not long after, the west side of the city was destroyed, and within the east side of the city, many people were apprehensive as they waited to be dealt with.
When the battle at the Starfall Sea had first broken out, Yang Yi had wanted to gather all the cultivators to participate in the battle. But now, with the Hellwyrm looming above him, who would dare to make a move?
The east side of the city had submitted, and Lu Yin had everyone wait for the Interstellar Court's judgement. At this moment, Yang Yi, Bu Kong, Fan Chen, and Fan Yu were standing in front of him.
These people did not need to be judged, as they were traitors to begin with.
Fan Chen's face was ashen, and Fan Yu looked at Lu Yin in fear. Bu Kong's eyes were filled with unwillingness, but Yang Yi knew that he was going to die, so he remained calm.
"Senior, I'll leave the Fan family to the Sixth Mainland to deal with," Lu Yin said.
The Blood Ancestor was still studying the eyeball, and he was still panicking. However, just as Lu Yin had said, as long as there was no one controlling it, that thing would not attack anyone. The Blood Ancestor was still trying to control it.
Although it was disgusting, it was still quite useful. It could withstand the might of an exploding star, and it was quite tough. The only downside was that it could not withstand the slippers.
