Before today, Lu Yin had never thought that he would one day attack the Sixth Mainland, but Jiang Qingyue's words, the dragon turtle's words, and her father's words made him think of something. "I will. I'm not afraid of looking forward, and there's no need to lower my head. Being at the front isn't bad either. Perhaps a single spark can start a prairie fire."
The dragon turtle praised, "Kid, I admire you. The old master must have liked you as well. Think about it, one day, the two of you will charge forward, followed by Little Yueyue, Young Master Chen, and your sons and daughters. How hot-blooded! I'll even lend you my turtle shell when the time comes."
Jiang Qingyue's face flushed red. "Shut up! You're getting more and more out of hand from that damned rabbit."
Lu Yin smiled and looked at Stargazing Deck again. This was a park, but there was no one here, and no one would come here.
The people living in this city all wore fake smiles, and they would rather hide in their homes than come out. Why would anyone come here?
Lu Yin walked over, and Jiang Qingyue followed him out of curiosity.
The dragon turtle was about to follow, but Jiang Qingyue glared at it. "Stay away from me."
The dragon turtle smiled. The more it looked at Lu Yin and Jiang Qingyue, the more it felt like they were a good match.
The two of them walked over to Stargazing Deck.
Jiang Qingyue was curious. "What's so special about it?"
Lu Yin smiled and squatted down. He grabbed the deck and lifted it up, finding the pearl at the bottom.
Xiao Shi had obtained a pearl that allowed him to read the words in the Book of Destiny. His talent in the Dao of Destiny was excellent, and this pearl was tainted with the aura of destiny. As long as he could obtain this pearl, he might be able to find the location of the Lu family.
After lifting up Stargazing Deck, Lu Yin looked down and narrowed his eyes. Nothing?
How could it not be?
Had he lost it when he was stranded in the Sixth Mainland?
Suddenly, there was a suction force, and Lu Yin and Jiang Qingyue disappeared without any reaction.
The dragon turtle was shocked when it saw this. "Little Yueyue!" It slammed into Stargazing Deck, and a card floated in the air before it disappeared.
"A lost clan card?"
At the same time, Lu Yin and Jiang Qingyue exclaimed from within the card, "A lost clan card!"
The two looked at each other and attacked, wanting to break out of the card.
However, layers of light continued to shine, covering the surroundings like a prison.
Lu Yin immediately took out a pair of slippers, as he knew that things weren't looking good. If this card had been able to suck him in without him reacting, then it had to be a primordial card that corresponded to the Progenitor realm. Who would leave a primordial card in the Stargazing Tower?
There was only one trap, and it was a trap that was specifically targeted at him.
Jiang Qingyue was the one who had brought him here, but it was impossible for Jiang Qingyue to set him up. The only possibility was that this trap had been set up long ago. The Eternals knew that he would come for the pearl sooner or later. Perhaps this was not just a trap for him, but for anyone who came to Zhai Xing Lou. It could even be a trap for fate.
Since it was a trap, he had to get out as soon as possible.
However, these prison-like lights were endless. The slippers scattered with a single slap, but they still couldn't keep up with the speed at which they appeared.
Fortunately, it didn't last long before the light disappeared. Lu Yin smacked the card with his slipper, shattering it. He walked out with Jiang Qingyue, only to be greeted by a pair of scarlet eyes and a fist.
Bang
There was a soft sound, and Lu Yin blocked with his arms as his body was sent flying. He should have been sent flying by the force of the fist, but midway through his flight, his body kept twisting and flickering as the void tore apart.
Lu Yin steadied himself and looked around. This was an unstable place.
This was an unstable space, and even further away was a giant sourcebox.
They were trapped in a sourcebox array, and the purpose of this array should be to … Lu Yin casually tore through the void, but he found that the void was constantly twisting and distorting, making it impossible for him to lock onto his position.
Sure enough, they couldn't tear through the void and head to a parallel space-time.
This place was a trap.
The one that had sent Lu Yin flying was a Progenitor realm Corpse King, and it quietly stood in front of him. Its scarlet eyes stared at Lu Yin as it slowly lowered its arm. "Intruders shall die."
Lu Yin took a deep breath. "Qingyue, come here."
Jiang Qingyue gripped her sword tightly and looked at the Corpse King fearfully. She could feel a mountainous pressure.
She had faced a Progenitor realm creature before, but it had not been a life-or-death situation. With her current cultivation, how could she face a Progenitor realm Corpse King?
It could crush her to death with a single finger.
Lu Yin clenched his fists and felt a burst of pain in his arm. He had blocked that attack, but his bones had cracked. This Corpse King had a terrifying physical strength, so where had this monster come from?
When fighting at the same realm, Eternal Corpse Kings were indeed stronger than humans, but that did not apply to Lu Yin. Lu Yin's physical strength was enough to crush a red-eyed Corpse King at the same realm as him, and he could even fight against an ordinary Progenitor realm Corpse King. However, this Corpse King's physical strength was definitely abnormal even among the Eternal Corpse Kings.
One punch, just one punch.
He could not fight this Corpse King head-on.
Progenitors had their own fighting styles, battle techniques, and Progenitor Worlds. They were all extremely difficult to deal with, but what was truly difficult to deal with was still the most fundamental strength. Just as the Ancient Path Master had said, the physical body was the true path that humans should take, and they should not rely on some kind of world-changing strength.
Eternal Corpse Kings were proficient in physical combat, which was simple and pure. However, once one's physical body reached a certain level of strength, there would be no way to deal with it.
"Think of a way to leave on your own," Lu Yin said to Jiang Qingyue. The scarlet eye closed in on him. It did not seem to be very fast, but in this narrow and distorted space, this speed was enough.
Lu Yin pushed Jiang Qingyue aside and looked at the chaotic spatial lines. He did not dare to move carelessly for fear of suddenly appearing under the Corpse King's fist. That would be bad luck.
The wind from the fist brushed past his cheek, leaving behind a trail of blood. Lu Yin could not breathe under the pressure of the fist, and he kept retreating. The Corpse King turned around and kicked out, its movements simple and pure. Lu Yin's body was covered in a blackish-purple substance, and he tried to kick out and meet the Corpse King's attack head-on.
There was another collision, and the blackish-purple substance covering Lu Yin's foot actually cracked open. The Corpse King did not even slow down and immediately followed up with a second kick.
Lu Yin took out his slipper and slapped it down, but the Corpse King retracted its leg at the critical moment and spread its arms wide. There was still some distance between them before it struck out with a palm. The pure wind from the palm caused the void to disperse, and Lu Yin's expression changed as he slapped the slipper down.
The slipper dispersed the palm wind, but the force contained within it almost caused Lu Yin to lose his grip on the slipper. The Corpse King struck out again and again, and Lu Yin could only retreat. He could not afford to waste time with the Progenitor Corpse King, or he would definitely die.
With the slipper in hand, the Corpse King did not engage in close combat, which made Lu Yin even more certain that this was a trap. The fact that the Corpse King was so afraid of the slipper proved that it had already been prepared.
Suddenly, the Corpse King's eyes changed to grey. Not good, its physical strength had increased tenfold.
Lu Yin did not hesitate to use the Divine Seal Catalog, and Nong Yi and Liu Yun's shadows appeared together. The Corpse King's palm strike was several times stronger than before, and the pressure caused space to shatter as a world of nothingness appeared.
Jiang Qingyue was shocked. Even though it was not targeted at her, the pressure of this power was still unbearable, and her heart felt like it was about to explode.
Lu Yin felt the same way.
Nong Yi raised his hoe and swung it down, using Nong Yi's battle technique, Planting. Countless shadows overlapped with each other, and the momentum was boundless. Liu Yun used his own strength to form a blade, Flowing Cloud Slash.
The wind from the palm whistled past, forcing both Nong Yi and Liu Yun back. Neither Planting nor Flowing Cloud Slash could suppress a mere palm wind.
The Corpse King took a step forward and raised a hand to press down on Nong Yi.
A leaf appeared above Nong Yi's head, but the Corpse King's palm struck down and shattered the leaf. Nong Yi's figure became somewhat blurry, and streaks of flowing cloud-like energy formed solid attacks that frantically bombarded the Corpse King. Flowing Cloud's ancestral world, Thousand Streams Break.
Each attack contained the power of a Progenitor, enough to instantly kill a half-step Progenitor.
However, these attacks were useless against the Corpse King, who was like an unshakable mountain. With a casual wave of his hand, the attacks dispersed.
Liu Yun was not weak, and he had killed a powerhouse who had transcended space-time with a black energy source before. However, he was actually so weak against this Corpse King.
The Eternals had prepared a killing move for Lu Yin, and Lu Yin felt that this Corpse King was not any weaker than Xia Shenji. In terms of physical strength, the Corpse King far surpassed Xia Shenji.
Lu Yin used his slippers and stirred up spatial threads, appearing behind the Corpse King and slamming down.
At the same time, within the Eternal Kingdom, the Dragon Turtle was enraged and directly attacked the city.
The Corpse Kings charged forward one after another, but they were all casually killed by the Dragon Turtle.
It had not expected that a moment of carelessness would cause Jiang Qingyue to disappear. How would it explain this to its old master?
This was the Eternal Kingdom, so this had to be the work of the Eternals.
When it thought of the Eternals' methods, its heart sank.
"What are you trying to do?
That's the Lightning Lord's daughter! If you dare touch her, the Lightning Lord will not let you off! "the Dragon Turtle bellowed as a blinding light swept out, causing the Eternal Kingdom to continuously melt.
In the distance, a figure hurried over. It was the Otherworlder, and he was on the Sixth Mainland.
When he saw the Dragon Turtle frantically destroying the Eternal Kingdom, the Otherworlder took action. "Dragon Turtle, you want to fight to the death with the Eternals?"
The Dragon Turtle glared at the Otherworlder. "You've captured the Lightning Lord's daughter. Hand her over."
The Otherworlder was startled. The Lightning Lord's daughter?
When the Otherworlder had been on the Sixth Mainland, he had not known much about the Six Paths Society or the Eternals. Now that he had joined the Eternals, he had seen the outer space and knew how large it was and how many powerhouses there were.
Among them, the Lightning Lord was definitely at the top. He was an existence that even the Seven Skygods did not want to fight to the death with.
"Who captured the Lightning Lord's daughter?"
Even though the Eternals and the Lightning Lord were enemies, the Otherworlder did not want to attract the Lightning Lord's attention. Thus, the Otherworlder had known that the Dragon Turtle had brought the Lightning Lord's daughter to the Sixth Mainland, but he had not stopped it.
Now that something had happened to the Lightning Lord's daughter, the Otherworlder would definitely die if the Lightning Lord was attracted.
The Dragon Turtle pointed at Stargazing Lou. "What's going on over there?"
The Otherworlder looked at Stargazing Lou, and his eyes lit up. "Lu Yin is here too?"
The Dragon Turtle's expression changed. "Is this a trap for that brat Lu Yin?"
The Otherworlder's expression turned ugly. "Why is the Lightning Lord's daughter with Lu Yin?"
No one could answer him. The Dragon Turtle bellowed and ordered the Otherworlder to release the girl. The Otherworlder naturally did not want the Lightning Lord's daughter to die, but this was no longer something he could control.
…
Within the distorted sourcebox array, Lu Yin was sent flying, and the slipper in his hand almost fell to the ground. He had used the slipper to launch a sneak attack, but the Corpse King had dodged it and sent him flying with a palm wind.
