Up on the observation platform, Wu Tian was chained to the bone and hung in the air like a fossil.
Lu Yin stared at him, and before he knew it, the sky had turned completely dark. The glowing orbs above the Eternal Kingdom provided light, and with light, there was darkness.
As darkness descended, Lu Yin stepped onto the observation platform.
The moment he stepped onto the platform, the Celestial Eye on his forehead unconsciously opened, and he looked at Wu Tian.
At the same time, Wu Tian opened his eyes and looked at Lu Yin. When their eyes met, they saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Lu Yin had thought that Wu Tian was dead, as he hadn't sensed any signs of life from Wu Tian's body. This had made him wonder if the Undying God really wanted to kill Wu Tian.
However, Wu Tian was surprised to see the Celestial Eye.
Lu Yin stared blankly at Wu Tian.
Wu Tian's cloudy eyes suddenly became clear, and Lu Yin saw his own figure appear in his pupils. However, it was only for a moment before Wu Tian closed his eyes again, his body filled with a decaying aura. It was as if he had died.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. He hadn't seen wrongly; he had seen gratification in Wu Tian's eyes.
What was he gratified about?
Did he recognize that Lu Yin wasn't an Eternal?
Lu Yin didn't have much time to think about it, as a figure walked over from another direction. It was silent, like a shadow that slowly approached.
Lu Yin looked over and saw that it was a girl with long black braids. Her face was delicate, and although she wasn't as beautiful as the girl with the long red hair, she had an unyielding determination. Lu Yin could see that determination written all over her face with a single glance.
She walked up to the observation platform, ignored Lu Yin, and walked over to Wu Tian. "Do you think you can survive this time?"
Wu Tian opened his eyes again, but he didn't speak. He just looked at her.
Her voice was cold. "Let's see if you can survive." A curved sword appeared in her hand, and she stabbed it at Wu Tian.
Lu Yin subconsciously wanted to block it, but Wu Tian's gaze suddenly swept over him, stopping him in his tracks.
Lu Yin watched as the girl stabbed her sword into Wu Tian's neck, but no blood flowed out. Wu Tian's blood seemed to have been drained long ago. The tip of the sword pierced through the back of his neck, causing the sky of the Third Zone to distort.
Far away, Di Qiong opened his eyes and looked through the void to the observation platform. He saw the girl stabbing her sword into Wu Tian's neck, and saw Lu Yin standing beside her.
He didn't mind and slowly closed his eyes.
Wu Tian wouldn't die so easily.
Retracting her sword, the woman gazed upwards. Wu Tian was still the same, as if he could die at any moment, but at the same time, he wouldn't die.
"You can't even die from this? You deserve to be tortured here. I will do my best to kill you." The woman coldly spoke. She didn't receive any reply from Wu Tian. Her sword vanished as she turned and prepared to leave.
"Wait," Lu Yin said.
The woman turned around and looked at Lu Yin.
"Why do you want to kill him?" Lu Yin asked.
The woman coldly asked, "Who are you?"
"Captain of the True God Guard, Ye Bo."
"First Calamity Zone, Captain of the True God Guards?"
The woman's eyes flashed, and she sized up Lu Yin. She did not say anything as she took a step forward, intending to distort the void and disappear.
At the same time, Lu Yin took a step forward and arrived at the woman's side. She casually struck out with her palm, and although it seemed gentle, the wind from her palm pressed down on the void. This palm force was definitely not weaker than Silent Void's Emptiness Palm. Ordinary Progenitors would not be able to withstand this attack.
Lu Yin drew out his divine power and dodged the palm strike. He then reached out to grab the woman's arm.
The woman allowed him to grab her arm, and her eyes suddenly turned scarlet.
Her eyes turned red.
A terrifying force came from the woman's arm and flung Lu Yin away. A thin sword appeared in her hand again, and its tip curved as it pierced towards Lu Yin in an unpredictable trajectory, sealing off all of his escape routes.
Lu Yin had encountered many sword experts since he started cultivating. He himself was a sword expert, and he had obtained the Heavenly Eye of Martial Law, which made it extremely easy for him to break through weapons. However, this sword gave him a different feeling. It was not a sword move, but a living thing.
He could not see the tip of the sword clearly and could only retreat. His arms and abdomen had been slashed by the sword, leaving bloody wounds.
The woman did not use too much strength, or else her sword would have been aimed at Lu Yin's head.
Lu Yin could see that, or he would not have used only his current strength.
"Captain of the True God Guards, that's all you amount to." The woman sheathed her sword and stood there, her gaze indifferent.
Lu Yin sighed, "Your sword technique is very strange."
"Why did you stop me?" The woman stared at Lu Yin. The people of the Eternal Kingdom were all cold, and Mu Ji was an exception.
"Is he really Wu Tian?" Lu Yin asked.
The woman was surprised, "You know Wu Tian?"
"I come from the Six Direction Beginning Space, and Wu Tian is a legend in our space-time."
The woman stared at Lu Yin.
She looked at him deeply, "So what?"
"If possible, I also want to kill Wu Tian." Lu Yin said.
The woman retracted her gaze, "Did you betray your space-time?"
Lu Yin was indifferent, "I have always been their enemy."
"Then I'll have to disappoint you. He is Wu Tian, but you can't kill him."
"Why?"
"Even I can't kill him, with just you?"
Lu Yin's tone was low, "Why do you want to kill him?"
The woman looked into the distance, "Most of the people in the Eternal Kingdom want him dead, but I …" She paused and looked at Lu Yin again, "Experiment."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, "Experiment?"
"Killing Wu Tian will allow me to reach a certain height, even if he is half dead. Unfortunately, I can't kill him in this state." The woman casually replied.
Lu Yin didn't say anything and just looked at her.
"Many people in the Zone of Calamity are like this, and he often has to endure different kinds of attacks. As expected of someone who once reached the legendary realm, he has managed to survive until now. But one day, he will die at my hands." She then distorted the void and left.
Lu Yin watched her step into the void and slowly said, "Well said."
It was unknown whether or not she had heard him, but her body vanished.
Lu Yin turned to look at Wu Tian, but he didn't say anything and left as well.
On the observation platform, Wu Tian hung his head and sighed.
Lu Yin's expression was cold, and he soon arrived at the Corpse King Tablet. He saw the experts of the Third Zone of Calamity cultivating the Corpse King Transformation, and he casually grabbed one of them and asked how to cultivate it.
The person Lu Yin had grabbed was only a Half-Ancestor, and he didn't dare to disobey Lu Yin's orders.
Not long after, Lu Yin released him, and the person hastily ran away, not even daring to look back.
Lu Yin stood in place and stared at the Corpse King Tablet in the distance before walking forward.
There was an area around the Corpse King Stele, and only by entering this area could one transfer their consciousness into the Corpse King Stele. Relying on the Corpse Kings within the Corpse King Stele to cultivate the Corpse King Transformation, this was the greatest use of the Corpse King Stele.
There was no need to try it with one's own body, as it would always be the countless Corpse Kings left within the Corpse King Tablet. Even if one failed, it didn't matter.
Not everyone.
Everyone could cultivate the Corpse King Transformation.
Di Qiong had set up the Corpse King Tablet because he wanted all the Corpse Kings and people in the Third Zone of Calamity to cultivate the Corpse King Transformation.
With this method, the chances of cultivating the Corpse King Transformation would be extremely high.
If one failed to cultivate the Corpse King Transformation, they would be kicked out of the Third Zone of Calamity. Thus, all living beings in the Third Zone of Calamity would come to the Corpse King Tablet.
There was a ranking beside the Corpse King Tablet, and it was the ranking of those who had reached the Corpse King Transformation.
Lu Yin relied on his tyrannical strength to sweep through all the Corpse Kings and directly walked to the Corpse King Tablet.
If other living beings wanted to cultivate in front of the tablet, they could only wait. However, experts like Lu Yin naturally didn't need to wait. In the entire Third Zone of Calamity, there weren't many experts who had reached the Progenitor Realm, and such experts had special privileges.
"It's you?" In front, a man turned around and saw Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked at the man, but he didn't recognize him.
"You must be from another Zone of Calamity. You just offended Lord Xin Wu, and now you're here again?
Why, do you want to cultivate the Corpse King Transformation? "The man was curious.
Lu Yin was indifferent and didn't say a word.
The man sneered, "It's not that easy to cultivate the Corpse King Transformation. Without a foundation, you won't be able to cultivate it even if I gave you eight to ten years. I joined the Third Zone of Calamity, and it took me five years to get started. After all, we are humans, not Corpse Kings."
"It's better to cultivate this technique as early as possible. With our strength, it's harder to cultivate it. If it wasn't for my high comprehension, I wouldn't have been able to cultivate it even after fifteen years. Look at the others, some of them couldn't even get started in a hundred years. They were directly chased to other Zones of Calamity by Lord Di Qiong."
Lu Yin didn't care about the man. Was he a human traitor?
Such a person was suitable to be appointed as a general.
His gaze landed on the ranking on the side of the Corpse King Tablet. This ranking represented the experts who had cultivated the Corpse King Transformation in the Third Zone of Calamity. It could also be considered as the strongest experts in the Third Zone of Calamity.
The person in first place was called "Under Emperor." This name wasn't simple. The master of the Third Zone of Calamity was named Di Qiong. Was Under Emperor just below Di Qiong?
The person in second place was called "Jade." There was only one word, but it somehow reminded Lu Yin of that woman. That woman had been able to injure Lu Yin, who was disguised as Ye Bo, with her sword skills. This meant that her strength had surpassed the captain of the True God Guard. Such strength was enough to be ranked here.
The person in third place was the Middle Plate?
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. So the Middle Plate was from the Third Zone of Calamity. No wonder his physical strength was so strong. The Corpse King Transformation was strong, but Lu Yin had destroyed it.
The person in fourth place was Xin Wu, the small giant who had beaten up the Heavy Ghost.
And the person in fifth place was …
The top ten on the Corpse King Tablet were all Progenitors, but this ranking only included the top ten. It was impossible to know how many Progenitors there were in the Third Zone of Calamity.
"Stop looking. It's extremely difficult to get into this ranking. Why don't you think about how to cultivate the Corpse King Transformation? However, you're from another Zone of Calamity, so there's no need for you to cultivate it." The man's voice sounded a little talkative.
Lu Yin looked at him and asked, "What about you?"
"What about me?"
"You're not in the ranking?"
"Are you mocking me?"
"No."
"I feel like you're mocking me."
"Up to you."
The man's face twitched. "There are no less than twenty extreme experts in the Third Zone of Calamity. In addition to those Corpse Kings that are extremely strong but lack intelligence, there are at least fifty of them. There are so many extreme experts, but only ten can get into this ranking. You should know that these ten all live in the Third Zone of Calamity most of the time. None of them are in the same situation as us. People like us can never get into the ranking."
