It was no wonder why the Celestial Lord of Triumphant was fine despite being heavily injured. He had been faking it from start to finish. He knew that when things reached an extreme, they would move in the opposite direction. Unless he was killed with absolute power, he would not die.
The Desolate Ancestor had killed his way into the Zone of Calamity and survived even when facing the only True God. The Celestial Lord of Triumphant could do the same, but he had been faking it all along.
Lu Yin felt bitter, as he felt that he was unnecessary. Even if Lu Yin had not come to save him, the Celestial Lord of Calamity would have been able to deal with the Violet Emperor and the other two. The Celestial Lord of Calamity had hidden his strength too deeply. It was no wonder that he had told the Ancestor that he could deal with the Violet Emperor and the other two.
But how did he know that when things reached an extreme, they would move in the opposite direction?
From underground, the Arrow God walked out and sized up the Celestial Lord of Triumphant in shock. She had come from the Fifth Zone, so she did not understand the enemies of the First Zone.
It was no wonder why the First Zone was the strongest of the Six Zones. Almost half of the Three Heavyweights and Six Seas had come, but they still could not win and needed reinforcements. It would not be surprising if all the enemies were like this.
She had relied on her archery to dominate the Fifth Zone, and there were few who could match her in the universe. In the First Zone, although she had suppressed the battlefield with her archery, these people could still retreat if they wanted to. Was this the strongest enemy of the clan?
With the Celestial Lord of Triumphant dealing with the Arrow God, Lu Yin relaxed. "Senior Void Master, you don't have to worry about the Arrow God. No matter how strong she is, she won't be able to kill the Celestial Lord of Triumphant. You and I should take care of our own enemies."
He then stepped backwards. Between Mu Ji and Wang Fan, he had to deal with one.
The Void Master stared at the Celestial Lord of Triumphant. This fellow had hidden his strength well. With the strength that he had displayed so far, there were not many in the Six Direction Society who could match him. He was ruthless, and it was no wonder that he dared to guard the entrance to the Zone of Calamity all by himself.
Up in the sky, the Wood God sighed. The pressure from the Startoad was already giving him a headache. It was good that someone else could share the pressure from the Arrow God.
The Startoad's trident continued to stab at the Wood God. "Die, die, die, die …"
Below, behind the tower fragment, the Wood God of Calamity............ This is the third time.....
...
Lu Yin ordered the Seven Star Mantis to chase after Mu Ji, but he soon felt a wave of dizziness. He had overexerted himself, and he was also exhausted from this battle. However, he had to deal with Mu Ji.
Mu Ji did not hesitate to flee, but against the mantis' speed, he could not escape. Lu Yin quickly caught up to him.
"Luck, luck, I need luck."
Mu Ji muttered to himself. He had already taken out the Compass of Life and Death. He did not hesitate to move the needle and watch it move. Given the strength of the Seven-star Mantis, he had no way of knowing when his opponent would make a move. All he could do was keep moving the needle. How come no one from the Eternals had shown up?
The Seven-star Mantis raised its arm blade and slashed down.
Mu Ji could not even see this saber, let alone block it.
However, he was extremely lucky.
The moment the arm-blade chopped down, the needle stopped – live and die together.
In an instant, the Seven-star Praying Mantis disappeared. The arm blade almost brushed past Mu Ji's head, almost chopping it off.
When Lu Yin saw where the compass's needle had stopped, he was shocked to cancel the summon. Could it be referring to him?
Because of the dice and compass, Lu Yin was very wary of such things.
Others might not have cared, as they did not believe that a life and death compass could determine life and death, but Lu Yin was different.
His sudden appearance gave Mu Ji a fright. As expected, this person's speed was almost enough to stop time.
A strand of hair floated down, blown by by the wind, swaying in front of Mu Ji's eyes. His head was almost gone.
Mu Ji's expression changed greatly as he stared at Lu.
Yin asked, "You attacked?"
Lu Yin stared at the life and death compass. "Live and die together?"
Mu Ji was scared. He looked at the compass and then at Lu Yin. "Fortunately, you didn't kill me. Otherwise, you would have died too."
Lu Yin looked at Mu Ji suspiciously. He was very wary of such things, but could a life and death compass really be connected to his life?
If Mu Ji's life and death compass was connected to the One True God's, would the One True God die too?
Obviously not.
There must be a limit.
However, Lu Yin was not even a Progenitor, so he obviously could not reach this limit.
"I will die too?" Lu Yin's eyes were filled with killing intent. He suddenly grabbed Mu Ji by the neck and lifted him up.
Mu Ji did not resist at all and allowed Lu Yin to grab him. His face was red. "You, you can't kill me. If I die, you will die too."
"Why?
With your innate gift of wood? "
"Yes, if you don't believe me, you can ask the Wood God."
Lu Yin's grip tightened, and Mu Ji could not fight back at all.
"Even if your innate gift of wood allows us to live and die together, there is a time limit. If worse comes to worst, I won't kill you and let someone else kill you."
Mu Ji struggled to speak, "I, I will use my secret to exchange for my life."
Lu Yin frowned. "Secret?
I'm not interested in your secret. "
"Yes, it's your secret."
Lu Yin did not understand. "My secret?"
Mu Ji said with difficulty, "You, you are Ye Bo."
Lu Yin's eyes went wide. "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Mu Ji stared at Lu Yin, his eyes bloodshot. "Your evil is the same as Ye Bo's. You are."
At this point, Lu Yin suddenly let go of Mu Ji uncontrollably as if some force was controlling him. Just as he was about to continue attacking, a flash of sword light swept past him, bringing with it an intense sense of danger. Lu Yin hurriedly reversed his steps and dodged. When he turned around, he saw that it was the Xi Ancestor who had saved Mu Ji.
However, Xi Zu was far away, so it was not impossible for Lu Yin to attack.
Mu Ji threatened in a low voice, "Lu Yin, if you attack me again, I'll tell you."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"I swear. I don't know what I'm saying either. If I violate this oath, I will die a horrible death, and the heavens will destroy me."
Lu Yin sized up Mu Ji in shock. What was this guy trying to do?
He had actually made such a vicious oath. The stronger one's cultivation was, the more they could not make such an oath. The so-called oath was a restriction on oneself, but some people believed it while others did not.
Ye Bo's identity was too important, and Lu Yin did not want anything to go wrong.
Mu Ji had to die.
He immediately reversed his steps and attacked Mu Ji again. Rather than being threatened by this person, he did not care if his identity was exposed. At worst, he would just change his identity. With divine power, any identity was fine.
He had just taken a step when a light green blade suddenly appeared in front of him. He did not know when it had appeared, nor did he know where it extended to. Lu Yin looked up and saw the entire battlefield in the distance. The light green blade then swept past him.
He hurriedly blocked it, but the blade brushed past his body without causing any damage.
The entire battlefield froze at that moment. Everyone, regardless of whether they were humans or Eternals, had to bear the brunt of the light green blade's power.
This blade had come from the Ancestor of the Past.
The Ancestor's blade fell, and his expression was as calm as ever. However, this calmness was suppressing a terrifying chill.
Everyone on the battlefield, including the Star Toad, Wood God, Lu Tianyi, the Ancient God, Celestial Victor, the Arrow God, and the others, looked at the Ancestor of the Past.
"Everyone, give me some face and let this war come to an end."
This was the Ancestor of the Past's voice. It was so calm that it did not seem like he was talking about a war, but rather a farce.
Lu Yin looked at the Ancestor from afar, and the Ancestor's gaze met Lu Yin's.
"Daolord Lu, may I …?" The fog around the Ancestor of the Past dispersed to reveal the Fog Ancestor on the ground.
Lu Yin looked at the Ancestor of the Past. "Fog Ancestor, what's wrong?"
The Ancestor of the Past replied, "She just fainted. She's my cute disciple, after all. I won't do anything to her."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. Was the Fog Ancestor the Past's disciple?
"You want the war to stop? Based on what?"
The Ancestor of the Past raised his sword and looked at the sword edge. "Based on the Qing Luo Sword Intent."
Lu Yin was confused.
The next moment, the world spun, and he could not help but take a step forward to support his body. He almost fell as an uncontrollable dizziness overwhelmed him. Was this the power of spiritual force?
He had been reciting the Primogenitor's Scripture for many years, and if this was the case, then what about the others?
Soft sounds came from the people who had fallen to the ground. Food Saint, Bow Saint, Liu Yun, Leng Qing, Mu Tao, Xu Heng, and the others. Even Xu Wuwei and Big Sister, who were Sequence Law powerhouses, were half-kneeling on the ground as they almost could not hold on.
Everyone's spiritual force had been torn apart by the light green sword edge and were heavily injured.
Celestial Victor gripped his golden staff tightly and supported his body.
Lu Tianyi exhaled. He was the only one who was not affected. The Lu Family cultivated the Primogenitor's Scripture, which made up for the lack of spiritual force. It even made it the hardest point for others to attack. Even so, his expression was not good.
"Qing Luo … Jian Tian, so it's you." Lu Tianyi looked at the Ancestor of the Past and slowly spoke.
The others had never heard of this name before, and neither had Lu Yin.
Wood God slowly descended and clutched his head, feeling dizzy, "Qing Luo Jiantian?
The legendary person who forced your Lu Family to seek guidance from the Primogenitor's Scripture and use it to make up for the lack of spiritual force? "
Big Sister was covered in sweat as she looked up at the Ancestor of the Past, "There really was such a person?"
Only those from the Above Heaven era had heard of this name. In that distant era, the Above Heaven era had been glorious, the Lu Family had controlled the Fifth Mainland, and Lu Yuan had been one of the Six Daos of the Three Realms.
No one dared to provoke the Lu Family, and only one person had fought the Lu Family and used his spiritual force to render the Lu Family helpless. That person was Qing Luo Jiantian.
Why did the Lu Family recite the Primogenitor's Scripture to make up for the lack of spiritual force?
It was because of this person that Lu Yuan had seen the Lu Family's spiritual force deficiency. This person had changed the Lu Family.
The Ancestor of the Past looked at Lu Tianyi, "I haven't used this name in a long time."
Lu Tianyi sighed, "I didn't expect to meet you in this era. So you're from the Eternal Race."
The Ancestor of the Past's gaze was calm, but he did not explain, "Can this battle end?"
Lu Tianyi looked at Lu Yin.
Whether it was him, Void Master, or Wood God, they were all stronger than Lu Yin and had a much higher seniority. However, they still had to listen to Lu Yin in this battle. This was the authority that Lu Yin had obtained through numerous battles and countless methods. To a certain extent, this sort of authority could even challenge a Grand Empyrean.
The Ancestor of the Past also knew this, which was why the first person he asked was Lu Yin.
