These words scared the nine-headed bird so much that it immediately fled. It had seen the desire and greed in that human's eyes. That human really wanted to eat it, that monster.
That human had said that when things reached an extreme, they would move in the opposite direction. It was too terrifying, and someone had actually managed to cultivate it. This was the bird's nemesis.
Lu Yin suddenly remembered that when things reached an extreme, they would move in the opposite direction. No matter how terrifying the nine-headed bird's curse was, it would be fine as long as it did not exceed one's own defenses.
Could Lu Yin withstand the nine-headed bird's curse?
Not necessarily, but the Desolate Ancestor definitely could. What had happened between the bird and the Desolate Ancestor?
Why was it so frightened?
However, it was impossible for the nine-headed bird to escape.
It had not been easy to capture three powerful enemies from the outside, and all three of them seemed to have supported the Grand Empyreans when they had attacked the Calamity Zone. If they were all killed, it would be a huge blow to the Eternals.
Lu Yin summoned the Seven-Star Mantis and Still Void, and he used the mantis' speed to chase after them.
On the other side, the pure energy bodies also wanted to escape. They had clearly been trying to kill Celestial Champion, but now there were three of them. They could not kill them all, so they might as well leave.
Venerable Lotus continuously attacked the pure energy bodies, but she was not proficient in physical strength. All she could do was wear them down.
The most intense battle was still between Celestial Champion and the Violet Emperor. Celestial Champion wanted to kill the Violet Emperor and did not care about anything else. At this moment, he was not just using his physical strength; he was also using his Ancestral World. Behind him, a gigantic Celestial Champion appeared. He wore golden armor and wielded a staff that he viciously swung at the Violet Emperor.
The Violet Emperor looked up, and Celestial Champion paused. Although he tried to break free, the Violet Emperor avoided him.
"Champion, if you keep fighting, you'll bleed dry."
Celestial Champion laughed maniacally. "I've been waiting for death for a long time. Why should I be afraid of a fight?"
The Violet Emperor gritted his teeth. He also wanted to retreat, but Celestial Champion's Ancestral World covered a huge area, and fleeing would only make things worse.
The nine-headed bird wanted to escape, but it was blocked by the Seven-Star Mantis. The pure energy bodies were still fighting Venerable Lotus, and this battle boded ill for them.
At that moment, two more people arrived. They were the Food Saint and the Bow Saint. They had originally been in a parallel space-time around Three Hells, and Venerable Lotus had informed the Six Direction...
When the Bow Saint arrived, he raised his hand and shot an arrow at the Purple Emperor.
The Food Saint revealed his true form from far away. He opened his mouth and roared, causing ripples to appear.
The Purple Emperor swatted away the arrow with one hand and opened his other hand, aiming at the Food Saint and closing his five fingers. These two Progenitors had yet to reach the Sequence Rules, so they could not withstand his attack at all.
But behind him, the golden staff fell.
The Purple Emperor's scalp went numb, and he hurriedly dodged. However, his body was still struck, and he was sent flying.
Celestial Lord Victor seized the opportunity to attack. The Purple Emperor crawled to his feet with great difficulty. His elbows pressed against the ground as he raised his head. Golden light enveloped everything, bringing with it an intense sense of danger. He let out a breath. He still had to use it.
The staff smashed down, shaking the heavens and the earth. The entire space was shaking.
Food Saint and Bow Saint looked at where Zi Huang had fallen. Was he dead?
There was a muffled groan. The two of them looked back and saw Celestial Duke Triumphant, as well as Zi Huang, who had his hand in Celestial Duke Triumphant's body.
"Sky Sovereign." The two of them were shocked.
Lu Yin looked over. What was going on?
The Ninth Grade Lotus Venerable's face paled. This Purple Emperor actually had such an ability?
The Violet Emperor's white eyes were filled with malevolence. "You forced me to do this, Dou Sheng. Who doesn't want to keep a trump card?
This trump card was meant to be used against the Eternals, but I didn't expect to use it on you. "
Celestial Duke Triumphant looked at the arm that had pierced through his chest. Golden blood flowed down his arm, staining Zi Huang's body.
"What did you do just now?"
Zi Huang's voice was low. "You'll have plenty of time to think about it after you die. Go die."
Zi Huang pulled his hand out and raised it again. No one saw him move, and no one knew what he had done. When they could see clearly, his arm had pierced through Celestial Duke Triumphant's body once more. Celestial Duke Triumphant spat out a mouthful of blood onto Zi Huang's face. Zi Huang quickly pulled his hand out and attacked again …
Celestial Duke Triumphant's body was riddled with holes, but he still smiled. His mouth was filled with golden blood. "Fold. Your Sequence Law is Fold. You've folded time."
Zi Huang's pupils shrank as danger descended. He tried to attack again, but he found that he could not pull his arm back.
"Trash, your attacks are no different from tickling me."
Celestial Duke Triumphant growled and punched out, shattering half of Zi Huang's body. Even the arm that was in his body was shattered.
Zi Huang spat out a mouthful of blood, overwhelmed with shock. This monster had clearly been so severely injured, but he was still alive. How was this possible?
Even if a Grand Empyrean had been so severely injured, he should still have died.
Celestial Duke Triumphant's body swayed, and his vision blurred. No matter how he looked at it, he seemed to be on the verge of death, but he was still alive. He could not die no matter what.
Lu Yin's eyelids twitched. When he had merged with the nine-headed bird's body, Celestial Duke Triumphant had already been in a desperate fight with Zi Huang. Then, when Lu Yin had arrived at this battlefield, Celestial Duke Triumphant had been in an even more miserable state. He had looked as if he would collapse at any moment, but he had not. He had withstood multiple attacks from Zi Huang that would have killed him, but he was still alive. How much longer could this guy endure?
Celestial Duke Triumphant's blood seemed to have never stopped flowing. Even if he was a giant, his blood should have dried up by now.
Everyone stared at Celestial Duke Triumphant in shock. He was not a giant, but he was even more so. He stood before everyone's eyes, incomparably tall and dazzling with golden light.
This was especially so with Lu Yin's Heaven's Eye, which allowed him to see the sequence particles that filled the sky. He could sense an unstoppable, terrifying might.
Zi Huang gritted his teeth. He could not attack. He did not know how much longer this monster would last, and he did not want to fight to the death.
As he thought about this, he hurriedly fled, his body suddenly vanishing as he folded time.
Celestial Duke Triumphant was right. Zi Huang's sequence law was folding, and it was precisely because of this law that he could fight Celestial Duke Triumphant to the death with his physical body. Every time he folded his physical body, he would fold it over and over again. Even a piece of paper would become tough after being folded many times, let alone Zi Huang's physical body.
Besides folding his physical body, he could also fold time. This was his trump card against the Eternals, and he had actually used it.
No matter what, he had to leave first.
Zi Huang wanted to leave, but Celestial Duke Triumphant could not stop him. He could not find Zi Huang, and he had relied on his physical body to forcefully grab Zi Huang's arm and severely injure him.
However, even if Celestial Duke Triumphant could not find him, others could.
Lu Yin flew over as a stream of light, and he clearly saw the direction Zi Huang had fled in after folding time. He punched out and intercepted Zi Huang in the void.
Zi Huang was astonished. This human could actually see him?
Lu Yin sighed, as he considered himself unlucky. Folding time was essentially the same as skipping time, and the nemesis of time was looking back.
Even if Zi Huang folded time, the original time that he had existed in would not disappear. All he had to do was look back.
Zi Huang folded time again to escape, but Lu Yin continued to attack. Each punch landed in the direction Zi Huang was fleeing, and Zi Huang was forced to retreat.
Stop.
After a few more punches, Zi Huang gritted his teeth and ignored everything else. He endured Lu Yin's punches and fled, but this time, Lu Yin was not the only one attacking. Bow Saint and Culinary Saint attacked as well, and they followed Lu Yin's lead. Wherever Lu Yin attacked, they would attack. Zi Huang endured Lu Yin's punch, Bow Saint's arrow, and Culinary Saint's attacks. These attacks would not have been a threat to him in the past, but now he was heavily injured. Half of his body had been destroyed, and his sequence law was constantly folding time. He could not escape from the attacks of three Progenitors.
It was all because of this person. Zi Huang's rage skyrocketed, and he forcefully ignored his heavy injuries to throw a punch at Lu Yin. This punch traversed the void, and just as Lu Yin was about to dodge, the fist wind was already upon him.
Folding time not only allowed one to escape, but it could also be used to attack. Celestial Battlemaster had been heavily injured by Zi Huang's attack, and now, Lu Yin was facing the same attack.
Lu Yin subconsciously punched out. When things reached an extreme, they could only move in the opposite direction. With the addition of his limitless inner world's strength, there was a thump, and an indescribable sense of power forced Lu Yin back step by step. Every step he took shattered the void, and his withered arm immediately recovered.
Lu Yin felt a lingering fear as he looked at his numb arm. Zi Huang was heavily injured and on the verge of death, but he was still able to unleash such destructive power. This was a powerhouse who could fight against Celestial Battlemaster. Even without the nine-headed bird and the pure energy body's interference, Zi Huang would not have been powerless against Celestial Battlemaster.
Lu Yin knew that he could rely on various methods to enter the battlefield of sequence laws, and he could even defeat some of the powerhouses of sequence laws. However, there was still a huge gap between him and Zi Huang. At the very least, he could not see Celestial Battlemaster's true strength.
He could only enter the battlefield, but he was powerless to determine the outcome.
A golden staff suddenly descended from the sky and smashed into Zi Huang. There was a boom, and Zi Huang was smashed into the ground, his fate unknown.
On the other side, the nine-headed bird was having a hard time dealing with the Seven-Star Mantis and Silent Void.
These two had been summoned, and no matter how the nine-headed bird attacked, even if their bodies were destroyed, they could still attack.
The nine-headed bird had paid the price of losing one of its heads to erase Silent Void, but it could not connect to the Seven-Star Mantis. The mantis was too fast, and not only could the nine-headed bird not connect to him, but it was also unable to escape. It even used its arm blades to cut off two of the nine-headed bird's heads, causing it to shriek miserably.
If this continued, the nine-headed bird would definitely be ground to death by the mantis.
Left with no other choice, it would rather take the brunt of the mantis' arm blades to escape. It was fleeing in the direction of the depths of the Zone of Calamity.
They no longer hoped to escape to a parallel space-time; they only hoped to escape to the Everlasting Realm.
Underground, Zi Huang was also fleeing towards the depths of the Zone of Calamity.
Zi Huang's pure energy body also headed towards the depths of the Zone of Calamity.
Lu Yin raised his arm and punched out a hundred times, aiming at Zi Huang.
Suddenly, his body froze. Zi Huang's white eyes stared at him from underground, causing him to be unable to unleash his hundred punches once more.
At the entrance of the Zone of Calamity, the Seven-Star Mantis' arm blades slashed out, cutting off another of the nine-headed bird's heads. Just as it was about to attack again, a white figure appeared and slammed into the Seven-Star Mantis, knocking it back.
Tengu?
Lu Yin was not surprised; the Everlasting Realm had still made a move.
The moment Tengu appeared, the Everlasting Realm had basically intervened in this war.
They had no choice but to intervene. If they allowed Zi Huang and the other two to be killed, it would be the same as cutting off their reinforcements. It would also serve as a great deterrent to the powerhouses from the outlands who were helping the Everlasting Realm. This was not something the Everlasting Realm could accept.
