Ye Rou charged into the dark clouds, and a Corpse King charged at him from below. It was an Eye-less Progenitor Corpse King, and its physical body was extremely strong.
However, it was slapped down by Ye Rou, whose physical strength was just as strong.
"You devoured the Nightmare Civilization?"
Ruin's eyeball stared at Ye Rou, who was right in front of him. He did not recognize Ye Rou, but he knew about the Nightmare Civilization. "You're from that civilization?"
There was no need for an answer, as this was the answer.
Ye Rou's gaze was cold as he disappeared into the dark clouds.
Lu Yin looked into the distance. His understanding of Ruin was his consciousness. Of all the people he had merged with, only Di Xia knew a little about Ruin.
Ruin's main body was that eyeball, and no one knew how an eyeball cultivated. All they knew was that his consciousness was extremely powerful. The Corpse King Tablet had entered with his consciousness because Ruin had helped the Third Zone.
The people of the Thousand Faces Game were all powerhouses with consciousness, but compared to Ruin, they were like fireflies compared to the moon. The difference was unimaginable.
Ye Rou had been dragged here by Lu Yin to deal with Ruin. Lu Yin had only hoped to lure Ruin back by attacking the Second Zone, but he had not expected Ruin to actually be here.
There were no other powerhouses in the Second Zone besides Ruin.
Even if there were Progenitors, they were useless against Lu Yin, Void Master, and Wood God.
They all watched as Ye Rou charged into the dark clouds.
Then, he smoothly rushed out of the dark clouds without touching anything.
Ye Rou looked back at the eyeball and took a step forward, striking it with his palm.
The eyeball turned and then disappeared into the dark clouds.
No matter what Ye Rou did, it was useless.
He was hitting a dark cloud, one that did not have a physical body.
Lu Yin frowned. That couldn't be his consciousness, right?
The consciousness of the people of the Thousand Faces Game was formless and could control others, but Ruin's consciousness could see and appear in the form of a dark cloud?
If that was the case, how could they fight?
How could they break through Ruin's consciousness?
Void Master and Wood God did not know how to deal with it.
Ye Rou's attacks were useless against the dark clouds, but Ruin did not retaliate.
"It looks like he's been injured, and it's not light. Otherwise, how could one of the Three Masters and Six Voids not retaliate?" Void Master pondered.
His words made Lu Yin realize that the Ruins should be dealing with the nine-star civilization. The nine-star civilization was a powerful enemy of the Second Zone of Calamity, so it was impossible for them to not make a move in the Second Zone and leave it to the other Zones.
The only possibility was that Ruins had been injured, and the only thing that could injure him from a nine-star civilization was Kagawen's nine-star restart.
When Mina asked for help, she said that Karkawen was very likely to use the Nine-Star Reboot to stall for time and protect the Nine-Star Civilization.
If Ruin's End was injured by the Nine Stars Revival, it meant that he wasn't invulnerable.
Instead, this attack had to be able to wipe out everything.
The reactivation of the nine stars would wipe out an entire region of space-time, which might even include time and space. Of course, Lu Yin wasn't sure, as this was just a guess.
If his guess was correct, then he would have to injure Ruins or even kill him.
It had to have the destructive power to wipe out everything.
It didn't target any power, but space and time.
The simplest understanding was that every single attack had to tear apart the world of nothingness and completely wipe out everything that existed on the surface of space.
Just as he was thinking, a patch of the dark clouds suddenly disappeared, and in its place was a world of nothingness.
Lu Yin was shocked. He did not know what Ye Chan had done.
She had then destroyed space-time to reveal the world of nothingness.
Under the world of nothingness, a portion of the dark clouds had been swallowed up, and the eyeball within could be seen.
The eyeball turned and stared at Ye Chan, but he also did not know what she had done. Ye Chan quietly floated in the sky, her cold eyes emotionless. It was as if her consciousness had disappeared.
"Attack!"
Lu Yin shouted, and the mantis spread its six wings and flew towards the dark clouds. It moved at a speed comparable to that of time, causing everything around it to stop. Even Void Master and Wood God were frozen in place.
Lu Yin rode the mantis and instantly arrived within the dark clouds. He slashed at the eyeball, and the eyeball also stopped moving.
Just as Lu Yin thought that the mantis would be able to attack the eyeball, the blade suddenly disappeared. Then, the mantis and the platform disappeared as well. Lu Yin looked at the eyeball in shock, and it turned and stared at him.
Suddenly, an invisible force surged into his mind, wanting to shatter it. Lu Yin felt as if he had been struck by a hammer, and the world spun as he fell straight down.
Ruins was shocked; he hadn't been turned into an idiot?
Lu Yin's body fell, and his vision continued to move upwards. He finally stopped and looked up, only to see the dark clouds heading towards Void Master and Wood God.
"Be careful of his consciousness!" Lu Yin shouted.
Void Master's Void Master and Wood God's power of wood erupted at the same time, forming a tsunami that swept towards the dark clouds above the second Zone of Disaster.
The three terrifying forces caused the second Zone of Disaster to collapse. Void Master's vision spun, and he fell down like Lu Yin.
Wood God fared slightly better, but not by much. He kept retreating, and when he looked up again, his vision was blurry.
Ruins' consciousness was too powerful, and it actually suppressed Void Master and Wood God.
It could only be said that they did not have the ability to resist such a powerful consciousness, but that did not mean that they were weaker than Ruins.
Just like how Lu Yin could deal with the mantis, Void Master might not have been able to do the same.
There was no such thing as an invincible power in the universe, or else it would represent some kind of extreme. Extreme power was not the foundation of the universe, and if there really was an extreme, then the universe would no longer be a universe, but a monster that could expand without limit.
At this point, Ye Chan's vision recovered, and she stared at Ruins. There was a boom as the void shattered, and Ruins screamed as he looked at Ye Chan in shock. What kind of sequence law was this?
How could it break through his consciousness?
He had already forcefully cultivated his consciousness to the point of being a sequence law, which was similar to creating something out of nothing. He had reached the level of being recognized by the universe, and this person had actually broken through his sequence law?
Had Lu Yin also reached the level of breaking a sequence law?
Ye Chan had indeed made a move. This time, Lu Yin opened his Celestial Eye and saw Ye Chan's sequence particles enter the dark clouds, but he did not know exactly how they had destroyed the clouds.
Ye Chan's sequence law seemed to be rather complicated.
In the sky, a piece of wood descended and pressed down on the eyeball.
The dark clouds around the eyeball did not move, but Lu Yin saw the sequence particles fill the sky and spread out towards the entire second Zone of Disaster.
"Be careful, he's using a sequence law. The entire second Zone of Disaster is being affected," Lu Yin warned.
Boom! Another explosion rang out, and the void shattered. This time, it came from Ye Chan.
Ruins' sequence particles shot towards Ye Chan, Void Master, Wood God, and Lu Yin. The first three used their sequence particles to block, while Lu Yin used the starry sky in his heart to isolate himself from the particles. At the same time, he used reverse steps to parallel time and rapidly approached the eyeball. He struck out with a palm, shackling it with a hundred punches.
The eyeball was right in front of Lu Yin, but his palm still missed and brushed past it.
At the same time, the falling wood from the sky also missed.
It was as if the eyeball did not exist.
The eyeball turned and stared at Lu Yin. "Under the Divine Commandment, you must die."
Lu Yin stared at the eyeball and locked eyes with it. Something must have happened in that instant.
He used reverse steps again and struck out with his palm. This time, he did not use much force, as he wanted to see what had happened.
His palm still brushed past the eyeball, but this time, the flow of light was reversed for a second.
Lu Yin stared at the eyeball for a second, and he saw it. How could such a thing happen?
He saw the eyeball circle behind him at a speed that was not very fast. When his palm missed, the eyeball reappeared in its original spot, which was why his palm had brushed past it.
But what was going on?
It was clearly not very fast, so why couldn't he see it?
If not for the one-second reversal, he would not have known that the eyeball had circled behind him twice.
It was not just him; Void Master, Wood God, and Ye Chan did not know either, or they would have warned him.
What was going on?
Lu Yin was confused.
There were all sorts of strange powers in the universe, and he felt that it was difficult for him to grasp Ruin.
Ruin must have been severely injured, or else he would have circled behind Lu Yin. He did not attack, but Lu Yin and the others would not be able to hurt him.
Strange, very strange.
A vast amount of Void God's power swept over from the surroundings, and while Ruin dodged Lu Yin's palm, Ruin was trapped in Vitality's thermometer and began to heat up.
Vitality's thermometer would define any species as normal and raise the temperature to a level that normal species would not be able to withstand.
Humans were at forty, forty-one, forty-two degrees, and so on. Void Master did not know what kind of species Ruin was.
He could only use a human's high temperature to deal with it, as that eyeball was exactly the same as a human's.
But as the thermometer rose, Ruin's eyes widened.
Lu Yin did not react.
This time, the eyeball did not escape and remained in its original spot. Vitality's thermometer could not do anything to it.
Void Master could also see this and waved his hand to disperse the Void God's power.
"Are you stalling for time?" Lu Yin stared at Ruin.
Ruin's eyeball swiveled. "How did you enter my second Zone of Calamity?"
Lu Yin had naturally gone through the Nine Star Civilization. So many years had passed, and the war between them and the second Zone of Calamity had been going on for a very long time, so they naturally had a way to find this place.
It was similar to how the Six Paths Society had found the entrance to the first Zone of Calamity.
Finding it was one thing, but whether or not they could infiltrate it was another matter altogether.
Mina had brought the Expedition of Calamity to reinforce the Nine Star Civilization, and she had told Lu Yin the location of the second Zone of Calamity before leaving.
However, Lu Yin would not answer her, and he attacked Ruin again.
Ye Ruo and Wood God attacked at the same time.
However, all of their attacks brushed past Ruin's eyeball. Lu Yin passed through the stream of light and saw that Ruin had easily dodged all of the attacks. He had not used any sequence laws, but he was still unharmed.
Could this be an innate gift?
If Lu Yin really wanted to attack Ruin, he would have to attack the spot where he was dodging the moment he dodged, and that spot could only be seen by reversing time.
However, time was too short.
Lu Yin had been able to reverse time to attack the Seven Star Mantis back then because he had determined the direction in which the mantis had fled in an instant. All Lu Yin had to do was stare in that direction and attack.
However, Ruin had returned to his original spot in an instant, and this was not due to speed or time, which made it difficult for Lu Yin to understand.
