Lu Yin stared at the wound that had been pierced by the particle. It should have been bleeding nonstop, but the wound was healing quickly.
"You'll recover in half a day, right?" Lu Yin was surprised.
The shadowman lay on the ground in agony, but he did not speak. The wound was healing, but the pain did not lessen.
Lu Yin's domain swept out once more, instantly wiping out all the Corpse Kings.
These Corpse Kings were just as Bodhi Sage had described; they all had strange powers. After Lu Yin wiped them out, the Six Directions Association cultivators and the shadowman were all safe.
"I've wiped out all the Corpse Kings. Everyone is safe now," Lu Yin said before taking a step forward and leaving.
Everyone heard him, but no one responded. No one believed him.
The battles here were all about scheming and sneaky attacks. It was not strange for the enemy to use all sorts of methods, but for the sake of their own lives, everyone hid themselves and did not expose themselves.
Only the injured shadowman was certain of Lu Yin's words. Although he did not know how Lu Yin had done it, he felt that Lu Yin was terrifying. This kind of power should not appear in a small battlefield like this.
Fighting in the dark spacetime was like a blind man crossing a river. He had to cross the river to prevent himself from drowning, but he also had to guard against enemies hiding in the water.
Lu Yin did not want to get involved in the dark spacetime's battles. He wanted to go to the next parallel spacetime.
He had been here for half a month, but he still had not been able to contact Wendy Yushan. She had either lost control of herself or was dead. Either way, there was no need for Lu Yin to stay.
Lu Yin suddenly felt powerless. He had the strength to fight against a Progenitor, and he had all sorts of external items and methods. He seemed to be invincible to others, but there were many times when he was still powerless.
He had the Sect of Heaven, but he could only protect himself?
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. He had to think of a way to help Third Uncle, Cai 'er, and the others break through to the Progenitor realm and restore the Sect of Heaven to its former glory. The only thing that could do this was the Sequence Particle.
The Sequence Particle was a supreme power that even Progenitors could only dream of. The research of the Sequence Particle was inseparable from the Progenitor realm. Perhaps he could use the Sequence Particle to find a shortcut that would allow Third Uncle and the others to break through.
He still had to find Zijing. He had to find her.
Lu Yin took a deep breath. Only the glorious Sect of Heaven did not fear anyone.
Why should he focus all of his energy on the Everlasting?
At the very least, they didn't need to do so for the time being. With the Six Direction Association holding the fort, the Eternals wouldn't be able to cause too much damage. In the era of Above Heaven, the Eternals could only bow their heads.
The Six Factions hated the Heavenly Sect because they hadn't destroyed the Eternals in that era. If the Heavenly Sect had been restored to its peak and given everyone a choice, they would have destroyed the Eternals.
The extremely glorious Heavenly Sect?
Back then, there were the Three Realms and Six Paths. Now, how could they restore such power?
Perhaps the Three Realms and Six Daos didn't exist, but the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas did. Progenitor Chen was definitely not dead, and Progenitor Mist was on the fifth continent. Where was Progenitor Withering?
Was he dead?
Are the Talisman Ancestor and the Hui Ancestor dead?
Even if they died, Third Uncle and the others had broken through to the Progenitor realm, and their strength might not be any weaker than the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas.
Putting Patriarch Lu Tianyi aside, the Lu Clan had one of the true Patriarchs of the Six Paths.
Time continued to pass, and Lu Yin was getting closer and closer to the portal.
It was very dangerous to be near the dimensional door. Changes could happen at any moment. Even he had to be careful.
Hmm?
There was someone ahead.
Lu Yin's domain.
It expanded and was easily swallowed up by the darkness, but the expanding domain still allowed Lu Yin to see the person and also Reversed Steps.
Reversed Steps?
Lu Yin's eyes widened, and his domain expanded in a single direction, enveloping a shadowman.
That's right, it was indeed Reversed Steps.
In the distance, in outer space, a shadowman was clearly moving backwards, but his body was moving forward and constantly shifting. This was Reversed Steps.
Lu Yin was stunned. He could actually see Reversed Steps in this dark spacetime?
And it was coming from a shadowman?
The shadowman could clearly sense the domain enveloping him, and his body was like a magnet that constantly pulled in the darkness. The darkness swallowed the domain faster and faster, and the shadowman wanted to hide himself again.
However, he had already been targeted by Lu Yin, and there was no way he could escape.
The shadowman grew more and more alarmed, and his Reversed Steps became faster and faster. Suddenly, his footsteps became disorderly as his right foot stepped on his left leg, breaking his bones and causing his body to fall forward.
A card appeared behind him and descended directly on top of his head, drawing the Shadowy Man in.
Lu Yin's body instantly appeared beside the card and entered it with the shadowman.
Inside the card was a white world that was so piercing that the shadowman trembled. "Kill me! Kill me!"
Lu Yin entered the card and suddenly acted, blocking the blinding light above his head. Only then did the shadowman heave a sigh of relief, his body drenched in sweat.
"You're not a shadowman," a voice said.
Lu Yin replied, "I'm a cultivator from the Six Direction Association."
"You shouldn't have helped him. He killed my brother." The voice continued, "Did you just reinforce the dark spacetime?"
Lu Yin replied, "The outside world says that the shadowmen are hostile to the Six Direction Association. Now, it seems that the situation is even worse."
"It's not hostility, it's killing."
The Lost Tribesman's voice was filled with anger. "We didn't do anything to him, but he used the power of darkness to devour my brother and steal the card. He deserves to die."
The shadowmen were still trembling. They could not adapt to the light and could only stay in the darkness.
Lu Yin looked at the shadowman. "Why did you kill the Lost Tribesmen?"
The shadowman did not answer.
"Every year, at least one-third of the cultivators from the Six Direction Association who reinforce the dark spacetime die at the hands of the shadowmen. They target both the Eternals and the Six Direction Association," the Lost Tribesman said.
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Does the Six Direction Association know about this?"
"Of course."
"Why hasn't it been resolved?"
"How?
Destroy the Shadowmen?
They are the same kind as us, and the Six Direction Association has tried to ally with them. However, the shadowmen are despicable and shameless. On the surface, they seem to have agreed to the Six Direction Association's request, but in reality, they still take the initiative to attack us. Their reason is that they can't differentiate between the Six Direction Association's cultivators and the Corpse King in the dark spacetime. Indeed, it's difficult for us to differentiate.
"I didn't do it on purpose."
The shadowman panicked. "Our ancestors taught us not to hesitate when attacking. Even if I don't attack, you will."
"You're despicable."
"We have no choice. We also want to live."
Lu Yin looked at the shadowman coldly. "You want to live, so you let others die?"
The shadowman's pupil-less face stared at Lu Yin. "This is our home, but they treat it as a battlefield."
Lu Yin frowned. Was it the same as the Drifting Cloud space?
"No," the Lost Tribesman shouted. "The Six Direction Association is tracking the Eternals.
This was originally the battlefield between the Shadowmen and the Eternals. We're helping you. "
"I don't want to talk nonsense with you. Die."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling light turned into a sharp blade that slashed towards the shadowman.
Lu Yin caught the blade. "I have a question for him."
The Lost Tribesman was furious. "Which parallel universe are you from?
We will avenge the Lost Tribesmen ourselves. If you interfere, you are an enemy. "
Lu Yin knocked the shadowman unconscious and took out his card.
In the void, the Lost Tribesman walked out and stared blankly at the card in Lu Yin's hand. Outsiders could not tell the level of the card unless they saw the mark on the card. However, the Lost Tribesman did not need that. He could clearly feel the power of his card being suppressed. It was definitely a high-level card that he could not understand.
"You are?"
Lu Yin said, "Leave this person to me. Don't worry, I will return him to you after this is over."
The Lost Tribesman bowed. "Yes."
Lu Yin took the Shadowman out of the card and woke him up. He asked him to go backward.
The Shadowman was vigilant. "Where is the Lost Tribesman?"
"I sent him away," Lu Yin replied.
The Shadowman's eyelids twitched. The darkness around him became deeper. He looked around but did not find the Lost Tribesman. He was puzzled. "How did you send him away?"
"It has nothing to do with you. Answer my question. Otherwise, your fate will not be better than falling into his hands." Lu Yin's tone was cold.
The Shadowman sneered. "Every member of the Dark Shadow Tribe has learned the footwork you mentioned. Some can learn it, and some can't. It is impossible for you to learn it. Stop dreaming."
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes. "What is that footwork called?"
"Seamless Footwork."
The Shadowman replied directly. This was common knowledge. Many people in the Six Direction Association knew about it. This footwork was not a secret.
He thought that Lu Yin wanted to learn it.
Seamless Footwork?
It was not called Reverse Footwork. It was learned by Qian Zou from a jade stone and came from Progenitor Chen. In that space, the footprints under the river represented the learning method of Reverse Footwork. In fact, it did not have a name.
The Dark Spacetime had existed for far longer than Progenitor Chen. Therefore, this footwork should be called Seamless Footwork.
Then, how did this footwork spread to the Dark Spacetime?
"Can I go now?" the Shadowman asked. He wanted to leave.
Lu Yin waved his hand. "Go."
The Shadowman did not expect Lu Yin to be so easy to talk to. Lu Yin had saved him just to ask about common knowledge.
He used the Dark Spacetime to check again. After confirming that there were no outsiders, he left.
However, not long after he left, a card pulled him in, leaving the Shadowman screaming in horror.
He could not leave the Dark Spacetime. At least, he had to meet the Shadowman Patriarch and find the source of Reverse Footwork.
This place was related to the Genesis Space.
It was not difficult to find the Shadowman Patriarch. He just needed to find a Shadowman to lead the way.
The Shadowmen were not Corpse Kings. They were also afraid of death. Lu Yin only needed to threaten them a little and they would lead him through the Dark Spacetime.
There was nothing more convenient than having a Shadowman lead the way.
In fact, if the Shadowmen did not have this characteristic of not being able to distinguish between friend and foe, they could work together to deal with the Corpse Kings. This spacetime would be much easier to deal with.
The Shadowman Patriarch was called Dark Nine. He lived on an extremely deep and dark land. The closer one got to the land, the colder and darker it felt.
This land was called the Dark Domain. It was the land where the Shadowmen lived.
