Although Lu Yin's body was out of place, his physical strength was able to withstand the sudden speed. This was what the seven-star mantis could not understand. How could a person who was not even an Extreme Powerhouse withstand this speed?
The other arm blade slashed out horizontally. Even if this human could withstand this speed, it was impossible for him to attack again. This slash was enough to kill him.
Lu Yin could not find the seven-star mantis's body for a while. Even the Heaven's Eye could not find it. The Heaven's Eye could see through weapons and techniques. In the future, it could see through parallel time and space, but in the face of this speed, it needed to be able to see. However, when the seven-star mantis raised the other arm blade, the chill in his bones told him of the danger. Without hesitation, his slipper fell and slapped the arm blade in his left hand.
With a bang, the arm blade shattered. Lu Yin heard a scream as the seven-star mantis's body retreated rapidly.
Lu Yin was flung away, his head spinning, and he almost vomited.
Looking up, in the distance, one of the seven-star mantis's arm blades had shattered. Six pairs of wings spread out on its back and flapped slowly. Its triangular head stared at Lu Yin. Green blood flowed from the corner of its hideous mouth. "Human, who are you?"
Lu Yin's eyes flickered. Although the feeling of matching time was out of place, it gave him a different kind of understanding. There were two kinds of changes in reversing time. One came from the Undying Deity's skipping time, and the other came from Progenitor Chen's parallel time. The so-called parallel time and the seven-star mantis's speed were the same.
The difference was that one relied on the changes in combat skills while the other relied on pure speed.
Although he had learned the changes, he could not understand them.
Then, could he first understand the speed and then experience the changes?
This idea opened up another line of thought for Lu Yin. He looked at the seven-star mantis again. Not only was there murderous intent in his eyes, but he also felt like he had seen a treasure.
"Human, who are you?
You are targeting me. You are here to kill me. "The seven-star mantis screamed.
On the other side, far away, the battle between Jiang Qingyue and the Progenitor realm mantis continued. It was extremely intense.
Lu Yin did not say a word and rushed toward the seven-star mantis using reverse steps.
After two lessons, the seven-star mantis did not intend to fight with Lu Yin again. It was sure that this time and space was a trap.
After living in the universe for so many years, he had encountered many parallel universes with humans, but how many of them had reached the realm of extreme powerhouses?
Moreover, it was impossible for a human who had yet to reach the pinnacle to injure it.
The only ones it could think of were the Six Direction Sect and the other major forces in White Cloud City.
Suddenly, the Seven-Star Mantis screamed, "You're Lu Yin from the Above Heaven Sect."
Lu Yin was stunned; he had actually guessed it.
The mantis spread its six pairs of wings, turned around, and flew back to its own space-time. It stopped fighting, as it realized that this human was definitely that Lu Yin. Otherwise, how could there be so many monsters? It was impossible for anyone below the Extreme Realm to be able to injure it, and if it really was that Lu Yin, then it would be troublesome.
He was the one who had killed Jing Zhe. The Six Directions Guild would send out ruthless people. Those who had helped the Eternals had retreated. There was no need for them to fight head-on.
Lu Yin hurriedly gave chase, but how could he possibly catch up?
Time seemed to have stopped.
However, he didn't need to give chase. He had been in this space-time for dozens of years, preparing for this moment.
The entire process, from the moment the Seven-star Mantis spread its six pairs of wings, was already an illusion. In the next moment, the Seven-star Mantis' body shook.
"A sourcebox array?"
After spending dozens of years in this space-time, Elder Chan had used the ancestral qi of the Three Yangs to create Progenitor Hui and set up a sourcebox array that circled the entire space-time.
Fortunately, this space-time was very small, and the sourceboxes that Lu Yin had obtained from Da Shikong came in handy.
Lu Yin had used the sourcebox array to disrupt the void and prevent the Seven-star Mantis from tearing through the void to leave.
Of course, this was only disrupting space-time. It did not mean that the Seven-star Mantis could not leave at all. However, no one knew what would happen if they entered a parallel space-time.
The Seven-star Mantis was cautious, and it would not leave until the very last moment.
At least for now, it was not that it did not have the confidence to defeat Lu Yin, but that it did not want to take the risk.
There were risks left and right, so it would naturally choose one.
And the choice it had chosen was to leave.
Lu Yin had killed Jing Zhe and was infamous in the outer realm. The Seven-star Mantis would rather take the risk and go to an unfamiliar parallel space-time than stay here and fight to the death.
With its strength, the chances of encountering danger in another parallel space-time were much lower than dying at Lu Yin's hands. Since that was the case, why not leave?
There was no problem with this choice, but it was too late. The sourcebox array that Lu Yin had spent decades setting up was not really meant to trap the Seven-star Mantis. Lu Yin had been waiting for that one moment.
The Seven-star Mantis tore through the void again and tried to leave, but a ray of light flickered around it and reversed for a second.
The torn void returned to its original state, and the Seven-star Mantis was shocked. Time had changed?
That one second had prevented the Seven-star Mantis from leaving, and it had also given Lu Yin a chance to approach it. One second was enough for many things to be done.
At the very least, it was enough for Lu Yin to appear behind the Seven-star Mantis and grab it.
The six pairs of wings on the Seven-star Mantis' back flapped. It had no intention of fighting, and it only wanted to get away from Lu Yin.
The speed that rivaled time was enough to allow the Seven-star Mantis to get away from Lu Yin before he could even see it clearly. As long as it increased the distance between them, it could tear through the void again, and the Seven-star Mantis did not believe that it would be stopped again. The ray of light had been able to reverse the Seven-star Mantis' time by relying on that one second when the Seven-star Mantis tore through the void and was blocked by the sourcebox array. Without that one second, the ray of light would not have been able to approach the Seven-star Mantis.
Now, the Seven-star Mantis had relied on its speed to increase the distance between them once again. In its mind, Lu Yin was helpless against it.
Normally speaking, this was indeed the case. From the very beginning, the battle between Lu Yin and the others against the Seven-star Mantis had changed. Elder Chan's sneak attack had not been successful, and the Seven-star Mantis had not been severely injured. Furthermore, the Seven-star Mantis had been so cautious that it had not even thought of fighting. An enemy that only wanted to escape, and one that possessed speed that rivaled time, was simply unstoppable.
Unfortunately, the Seven-star Mantis had run into Lu Yin.
Escaping at a speed that rivaled time and made it impossible for others to see it clearly?
Lu Yin had the ability to look back at time, and he could look back at 88 seconds. Now, he only needed to look back at one second.
The ray of light shuttled back and forth, and in that one second, the Seven-star Mantis could do whatever it wanted. It did not even try to attack Lu Yin; it only wanted to escape.
Lu Yin could clearly see the direction that the Seven-star Mantis was fleeing in, and even its location.
Once he had identified the location, Lu Yin waved his ray of light and headed in that direction.
The Seven-star Mantis had just appeared when it thought that it had already distanced itself from Lu Yin. It wanted to tear through the void, but the ray of light followed closely behind it. Everything had happened in just one second.
In that one second, Elder Chan and the others could not understand what had happened. Even the Seven-star Mantis himself could not understand what had happened.
It needed another second to tear through the void, and that one second was just enough for the ray of light to catch up.
Just as the Seven-star Mantis was about to leave, the ray of light reversed for another second, and Lu Yin closed in once more. He raised his slipper high and slammed it down.
The Seven-star Mantis was stunned. What was going on?
How had he found it?
Again.
The same thing happened again. The Seven-star Mantis thought that it could escape, but Lu Yin had seen the direction and location of its escape. The ray of light kept a close eye on the Seven-star Mantis, making it difficult for it to escape.
The Seven-star Mantis collapsed. How was this possible?
How could this human catch up to it?
Impossible! Even the Eternals' power of laws might not be able to catch up to it, so how could this human do it?
"Elder Chan, use the sourcebox array," Lu Yin called out.
Elder Chan endured his injuries and used the ancestral qi of the Three Yangs to summon Progenitor Hui and strengthen the control of the sourcebox array.
Lu Yin wanted the Seven-star Mantis to have a harder time tearing through the void. It would be best if he could increase the time from one second to two seconds. Not only would this increase the sourcebox array, but it would also increase the spatial dimension.
He looked at the lines in space and moved them.
The Seven-star Mantis continued to shuttle through the void, and the ray of light continued to close in. As long as the Seven-star Mantis tore through the void, the ray of light would reverse for a second. No matter where the Seven-star Mantis fled, the ray of light would be able to track it down.
Finally, Lu Yin used the spatial lines and Elder Chan's sourcebox array to delay the Seven-star Mantis from tearing through the void for two seconds. Two seconds was too long, and Lu Yin did not use the ray of light to reverse for a second. Instead, he grabbed the Seven-star Mantis's wings, which were hard and cold to the touch.
The Seven-star Mantis was shocked. "Human, let go of me."
"Beast, do you think you can escape?" Lu Yin's tone was icy. His Palm Realm battle force covered his palm as he exerted force.
No matter how hard the Seven-star Mantis's wings were, they could not withstand the force. It wailed, "I'm not from the Eternals! Let me go, and I'll help you deal with the Eternals."
"Jingzhe shouted the same thing before she died." Lu Yin was indifferent.
The Seven-star Mantis was horrified. "You really are that Lu Yin! Let me go! I'm not helping the Eternals! I'm willing to serve you! Let me go!"
Lu Yin exerted more force.
The Seven-star Mantis's triangular head suddenly turned 180 degrees, and it opened its mouth to bite Lu Yin. This scene was extremely horrifying. It was a mantis, and its mouth was terrifying.
Lu Yin snorted. He grabbed the wings with his right hand and grabbed the slipper with his left. He then aimed it at the Seven-star Mantis's triangular face.
The Seven-star Mantis was clearly afraid, and the slipper shattered its arm blade. That was the toughest part of its body, and if it was hit again, it would definitely die.
"Lu Yin, Dao Master Lu, Master Lu, I won't do it again! I'll do whatever you say! Let me go! Please, let me go!" the Seven-star Mantis begged.
Lu Yin coldly said, "Don't you like to test people's natures?
Then, let's play a game. Fly as fast as you can, and I won't hit you. Let's see if you can shake me off. If you can shake me off, I won't bother you. If you can't shake me off, you'll die. "
The Seven-star Mantis was confused. "Fly?"
"You're not willing?"
"I'm willing, I'm willing. You really won't hit me?" It was terrified of the slipper.
"This is just a game. You like to play games, and so do I. Let's see who wins." Lu Yin's tone was relaxed, and he grabbed the wings with one hand and the slipper with the other. He was full of threat.
The Seven-star Mantis's narrow eyes scanned its surroundings, and then it suddenly spread its six pairs of wings and flew through the air.
Normally, once it displayed this speed, no one would be able to catch up to it unless they had the ability to manipulate time. Coincidentally, Lu Yin did. This was the most frustrating thing, as it had actually met its nemesis.
