Lu Yin could feel the powerful devouring force around Da Hui. He raised a hand and struck out with his palm, causing an endless inner world to appear and merge with it. This strike pierced through the ancestral world and struck Da Hui's body, sending him flying.
Da Hui spat out a mouthful of blood as his body crashed into the Eternal Kingdom.
There was a loud boom as the Eternal Kingdom collapsed, and Corpse Kings rushed out one after another, howling at Lu Yin.
"Leave them to me," Elder Chan said as he landed. There was no need for Lu Yin to take care of these Corpse Kings.
Lu Yin looked down at the ground and saw Da Hui struggling to get up and take out a Stargate. He took a step forward, and everything around him froze. All of the Eternal Kingdom, including Elder Chan, Da Hui, and even the distant Caged Wyrm froze.
Lu Yin stepped in front of Da Hui.
When Reverse Step stopped, Da Hui looked at Lu Yin in shock. "You?"
Lu Yin grabbed at him, and Da Hui's pupils shrank as he released that vortex again. However, this time, the vortex was pushing Lu Yin away, pushing him away at the same time.
Lu Yin was about to attack again when Da Hui suddenly turned around. "Return Thrust."
Da Hui's spear pierced through the heavens. Da Hui was clearly moving forward, but the tip of the spear suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yin's eyes.
Lu Yin hadn't expected this move at all, but he had Reversed Step. No matter how unexpected this attack was, it would be useless unless Lu Yin couldn't even react in time.
Lu Yin brushed past the spear and pressed a hand on Da Hui's shoulder. At the same time, the Return Thrust stopped, and a ray of black light swept forward. This spear pierced through the void and broke through the Void World.
This spear was extremely powerful.
Lu Yin pressed his hand on Da Hui's shoulder and exerted force. Da Hui howled as half of his body shattered. Blood flowed onto the ground, and his spear fell to the ground.
"Your Return Thrust isn't bad," Lu Yin praised.
Da Hui knelt on one knee and coughed violently, each cough accompanied by blood.
The Corpse Kings in the Eternal Kingdom were constantly being cleared out. Elder Chan, Jiang Qingyue, the Dragon Turtle, and the Ghost Monkey all took action. Those underground who hadn't been transformed into Corpse Kings were released. These people were most likely from the gaming civilization. Although they had been released, their civilization had already fled.
"Cough cough, who are you?" Da Hui tried his best to look up at Lu Yin, as if trying to recognize him.
Lu Yin looked down. "Where are you from?"
Da Hui stared at Lu Yin. "Where are you from?"
Lu Yin frowned and exerted more strength. His strength spread throughout Da Hui's body and tore it apart.
Other than the initial howl, Big Hui did not make another sound. It endured the pain and stared at Lu Yin with bloodshot eyes.
Lu Yin was surprised. "You're quite stubborn."
He had encountered many Progenitor Realm experts who were afraid of death, but he had also encountered Progenitor Realm experts who did not fear death. In his opinion, Da Hui had betrayed the human race and joined the Eternals. He was not a Corpse King, but it was strange that he was not afraid of death.
"You should know that you have no chance of escaping once you fall into my hands. You betrayed the humans and joined the Everlasting Race. Now, I'm giving you a chance to betray the Everlasting Race and tell me everything you know about the Everlasting Race. If you do, I'll let you live."
Big Hui laughed. He was clearly in pain, but he still laughed. His expression was full of mockery. "I didn't betray the humans. I grew up in the Eternal Kingdom. This is my home."
Lu Yin's expression changed. Grew up in the Eternal Kingdom?
"I can recognize both the Everlasting Race and the humans. There's no such thing as betrayal. If you want to talk about betrayal, then answering your question is betrayal," Da Hui continued.
Lu Yin stared at Da Hui. This was his first time encountering a human who had grown up in the Eternal Kingdom.
It was not that there had never been a human before, but he had never cared. No human had ever cultivated to the Progenitor Realm after growing up in the Eternal Kingdom. This was the first.
"You can accept that humans and Corpse Kings are two different races?" Lu Yin frowned.
Da Hui sneered. "Humans can be transformed into Corpse Kings. What's so unacceptable about that? You want me to betray you?
Impossible. "
"If the Everlasting Race wanted to transform you into a Corpse King, would you be willing?"
"Hahahaha, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time."
A sense of belonging. Lu Yin saw in Da Hui a sense of belonging to the Everlasting Race, which was terrifying.
Although betraying the humans was shameful, sincerely submitting to the Everlasting Race was a different situation. If the Everlasting Race's goal in establishing the Eternal Kingdom was not to target those who had been captured, but to target those who had been born in the Eternal Kingdom like Da Hui, then these people were fundamentally different.
At that moment, the threat that the Eternal Kingdom posed to Lu Yin was infinitely greater.
He realized that he had overlooked the Eternal Kingdom all this time. He had thought that it was just a base for the Everlasting Race to transform Corpse Kings, and that the so-called assimilation of humans was nothing more than a dream. But now, it seemed that the Everlasting Race had a deeper goal.
If Da Hui, a Progenitor, was like this, then what about the others who had been born in the Eternal Kingdom?
They had acknowledged the Everlasting Race from the bottom of their hearts, and they had even willingly become Corpse Kings. This was fatal.
When humans faced an enemy, even if they knew that they could not win or that they were in a desperate situation, they would still erupt with unparalleled strength to resist. But if the enemy was not an enemy, would they still resist?
The Everlasting Race had walked too far, and every step they took had a deeper meaning.
When he thought of this, Lu Yin looked into the distance.
Elder Chan was still cleaning up the Corpse Kings. There were many people in the Eternal Kingdom, and some of them had been imprisoned underground to be transformed into Corpse Kings. Others, like Da Hui, had been born in the Eternal Kingdom. These people were also enemies.
But how could Lu Yin bear to deal with them?
If he did not deal with them and brought them to a place where humans lived, it would be the same as releasing a group of Corpse Kings that would not be discovered.
As Lu Yin was lost in thought, Da Hui's eyes flashed, and he suddenly attacked. A short spear appeared in his hand, and he stabbed it at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin flicked the short spear away and met Da Hui's resolute gaze. He hesitated; should he kill or continue the interrogation?
Just as he thought of this, the short spear that Lu Yin had flicked away instantly turned around and attacked again.
This attack was not very powerful, and Lu Yin did not even plan on dodging.
However, the spear brushed past his neck and pierced towards Da Hui's neck.
Lu Yin moved his feet in reverse, parallel to time.
Everything around him froze, including the short spear that was about to pierce Da Hui's body.
Lu Yin gripped the short spear and stopped in reverse. Everything returned to normal, and Da Hui stared blankly at the short spear that had stopped at his neck.
It was happening again. He had tried to escape and failed, and now he had tried to kill himself and failed again. Could this human be able to stop time?
Impossible, not even Master could do that.
"It looks like interrogating you is useless. You're not even afraid of death."
Lu Yin clenched his right hand, and with a bang, the short spear shattered. He held onto the fragments. Even if he died, he had to make a move.
Da Hui stared at Lu Yin. "The Fourth Zone of Calamity."
Lu Yin's eyes widened. "What did you say?"
Da Hui clenched his fists. "I'm from the Fourth Zone of Calamity."
Lu Yin frowned. "Didn't you say you didn't want to say anything?"
Da Hui exhaled and lowered his head, seemingly deep in thought.
Lu Yin looked at him.
Pfft!
Da Hui spat out a mouthful of blood.
Lu Yin was shocked and quickly grabbed Da Hui's hair to lift his head. He found that Da Hui was already dead, and that mouthful of blood was his last chance at life.
With a thud, Lu Yin let go, and Da Hui's corpse fell to the ground.
The fragments of the short spear that he had been holding also fell to the ground.
Soon, Jiang Qingyue and Elder Chan arrived.
"Path Master."
Lu Yin looked at the dead Da Hui. "He killed himself and did not give me a chance to act. He was not afraid of death at all."
Elder Chan was shocked. "He betrayed the humans and joined the Eternals. He was not afraid of death?"
Lu Yin's tone was heavy. "We underestimated the Eternal Kingdom."
He explained Da Hui's origins, and Elder Chan's expression became unprecedentedly solemn. "Low power levels can be compensated for, but this sense of belonging cannot be eliminated. They are taking drastic measures to deprive us of our sense of belonging to our own race. So this is the Eternal Kingdom's true goal."
Jiang Qingyue's expression turned ugly. "No wonder the Eternals are building the Eternal Kingdom everywhere. I have to tell Father that there might be something wrong with the people we saved from the Eternal Kingdom."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. Who would have thought that the people they had saved from the Eternal Kingdom would be problematic?
These people were even ordinary people, but their hearts were with the Eternals. That was the most terrifying thing.
The Eternal Kingdom had to be completely destroyed, and not a single one would be left.
Lu Yin used Da Hui's blood to open his cosmic ring. There were only some resources inside, nothing special. As for the Astral Gate, he had taken it out when he was underground and had been preparing to escape. It should have been used to return to the Fourth Zone of Calamity.
This Astral Gate belonged to Da Hui, and the Fourth Zone of Calamity was connected to this space-time, so there should be another Astral Gate.
If Lu Yin had not been to the Zone of Calamity, he would not have known about this. Now, he had Jailwyrm lead Elder Chan to search for it. He wanted to use that Astral Gate to head to the Fourth Zone of Calamity.
The Eternals should have six Zones of Calamity, and he wanted to see how powerful the Fourth Zone was.
Unfortunately, it was not the Third Zone of Calamity.
This space-time was not large, and the Astral Gate was not far from the Eternal Kingdom, so he quickly found it.
Lu Yin decided to use the Astral Gate to head to the Fourth Zone of Calamity.
Elder Chan was worried. "Are you sure you want to go, Path Master?"
Lu Yin's voice was low. "I don't know the situation in the other Zones of Calamity. I feel uneasy."
"Don't worry. I'm confident. As long as I'm not discovered immediately, there should be no problems."
Jiang Qingyue said seriously, "Be careful."
Lu Yin smiled to reassure them. He looked at the Astral Gate and walked in.
If possible, he did not want to take the risk. However, there were some things that only he could do, just like how he had disguised himself as Yebo and entered the Eternals.
Anyone else would have been discovered, but not him. He was the only one who had divine power.
He hoped that the Fourth Zone of Calamity did not have someone like the Ancestor. Otherwise, it would not be easy to escape.
He stepped into the Astral Gate and disappeared.
One Astral Gate, two worlds.
After stepping into the Astral Gate, Lu Yin did not hesitate to descend. He saw the Fourth Zone of Calamity, which was similar to the Ancestor's Zone of Calamity. The land was dusky, and rivers of divine power flowed. In the distance, there was a dark Mother Tree that connected heaven and earth. It was naturally the same Mother Tree as the Ancestor's Zone of Calamity. The ground was rugged with strange rocks.
In the distance, there was a Corpse King walking, and there was also a tower that represented a Progenitor. Even further away, there was a mountain range surrounded by dark clouds. It was extremely tall and filled with deep darkness.
Everything seemed so quiet.
