The void around Fengbo expanded, but this time, it wasn't time that was expanding, but rather the void itself.
Lu Yin's punch landed, but it had to pass through the expanding void. However, the force of the punch was infinitely dispersed.
The void expanded, and the concentrated power of the punch was instantly dispersed. Even though it still managed to hit Fengbo, it only managed to push him back.
Fengbo staggered a few steps and clutched his neck as he looked back at Lu Yin. "Brat, I don't care who you are. You're courting death."
As he spoke, an indescribable power erupted from his body, causing him to grow infinitely taller. This was a power that Lu Yin could not comprehend. A figure walked out of Fengbo's body and spoke with a deafening voice, "Nine Firmaments God of Defense, kill!"
The figure seemed to contain heavenly might, connecting the heavens and the earth as it flickered with a blinding light. It raised a hand, and a tower-shaped sword appeared.
It slashed towards Lu Yin.
This sword felt unfamiliar to Lu Yin, as if it shouldn't exist.
It wasn't because of how powerful this sword was, but because it felt like it didn't belong to this world.
As the sword descended, the planet formed by Lu Yin's consciousness trembled. A terrifying consciousness whizzed out, transforming into a visible gas that soared into the sky and swept out in all directions. The sword stopped above the consciousness, and Fengbo's expression changed once more. What a terrifying consciousness! How long had this brat been cultivating?
Where did such a terrifying consciousness come from?
Far away, Hongyan Mavis' expression changed as well. Lu Yin's consciousness was so terrifying that even the mirage domain was shaking.
Fengbo's mind was struck hard, and he was forced back continuously. The giant figure was faintly discernible, and the tower-shaped sword was dissipating. Fengbo's gaze was fierce; he couldn't lose. How could he lose? How old was this brat?
What realm was he at?
How could he defeat him?
Fengbo had toppled the Mavis Divine Tree during the Above Sky Sect Era, causing the second mainland to collapse. How old was this brat?
The giant figure suddenly became clear, and the tower-shaped sword slammed down. Lu Yin clenched his fists, and the consciousness planet in his heart trembled. He desperately mobilized all of his consciousness, even though he still couldn't fully control it. This was Ruins' consciousness, and Ruins' strength was definitely not below Fengbo's. Furthermore, Ruins' consciousness was his forte.
At this moment, it was as if Xu Jin was using his consciousness to attack Fengbo. Fengbo found it difficult to withstand, but Lu Yin himself was also suffering from the backlash.
Both of them spat out blood, but the tower-shaped sword suddenly scattered and fell to the ground, instantly forming a huge tower around Lu Yin. Lu Yin's consciousness was trapped by the tower at that moment, and he couldn't break out.
He punched the wall of the tower, but the tower did not budge.
The next moment, there was a rumbling sound from the top of the tower, as if someone was reciting something. Lu Yin looked up and saw a word, but he did not recognize it. He had studied the language of the Above Heaven Sect's era, and he had also studied the language of the Daosource Sect's era. However, he did not know what this word meant.
The moment this word appeared, a powerful pressure crashed down on Lu Yin. The word continued to press down, and a boundless inner world appeared around Lu Yin. When things reached an extreme, they could only move in the opposite direction. He punched out, causing a second injury.
This punch landed heavily on the character, but the character remained motionless.
Impossible! Lu Yin's expression changed drastically; Fengbo still had this kind of power?
Before Lu Yin could think any further, the tower around him suddenly disappeared, as if it had never been there. If not for the fact that Lu Yin had spat out a mouthful of blood, he would not have been able to tell if the tower and the person holding it had really been there.
Fengbo's face paled, and he was filled with unwillingness. He turned around and left.
A platform appeared in front of Lu Yin, and he summoned the Seven Star Mantis. He could not allow Fengbo to escape.
Behind him, Hongyan Mavis walked out of the bamboo forest. No matter how cautious she was, it was time for her to come out, even if Fengbo had been playing along with Lu Yin's act.
This battle had definitely exhausted most of Fengbo's strength. Under such circumstances, why would she not dare to come out?
She had clearly seen that the injuries that Lu Yin and Fengbo had sustained during this battle were not fake.
"Senior, attack!" Lu Yin shouted.
Hongyan Mavis had already attacked, and she punched at Fengbo. However, this punch was not as powerful as Lu Yin's.
However, Fengbo was much more cautious when facing Hongyan Mavis than when facing Lu Yin, even if Hongyan Mavis's strength was not that great.
He did not hesitate to flee, "Kid, I'll remember you! I won't let you go!" The void in front of him expanded as he spoke.
The Seven Star Mantis spread its six wings and instantly appeared behind Fengbo at a speed comparable to that of time. Lu Yin then punched out once more.
The force of this punch had been dispersed by the expansion of the void, but it only caused Fengbo to stagger and feel dizzy. Lu Yin then used the consciousness planet in his heart to bombard Fengbo with his consciousness.
Lu Yin's various techniques continuously landed on Fengbo's body, but Hongyan Mavis's attacks did not have much effect on Fengbo. Fengbo was well aware of this, and he not only expanded the void around him, but also the void in the distance.
Lu Yin was apprehensive; even with the grass that Hongyan Mavis had given him, he still instinctively wanted to avoid this fog.
Fengbo forcefully endured Hongyan Mavis's attacks and tore through the void to stare at Lu Yin, "Kid, we'll meet again."
Hongyan Mavis's lips curled up, "Fengbo, do you really think that I haven't done anything in all these years?"
Fengbo did not understand.
The next moment, the sky, the earth, the void, and every corner of the mirage's domain that could be seen with the naked eye was covered in grass.
Green grass by the riverbank seemed like a normal scene, but when it grew on the river of time, it was not normal at all.
As soon as Fengbo tore through the void, the grass took over the void, leaving no room for him to pass through.
"I didn't spend all these years in the mirage's domain for nothing. You wanted to kill me, and I was also thinking of ways to kill you. I firmly believed that one day, someone would help me kill you. That day has finally come, and you must atone for your betrayal."
Hongyan Mavis revealed a towering aura that swept away her previous useless attacks. At this moment, Lu Yin could clearly see that she was the ancestor of the Mavis Family, one of the six paths of the Three Realms. Even though she had lost most of her strength, she was still an absolute powerhouse.
She was an absolute powerhouse who could stop Fengbo from escaping the mirage's domain.
Fengbo could not escape from the grass that filled the mirage's domain.
For many years, he had believed that he was the one who had chased after Hongyan Mavis and had trapped her in the mirage's domain, not daring to leave. But from another perspective, wasn't it Hongyan Mavis who had trapped him?
Hongyan Mavis was naturally not Fengbo's match, but with Lu Yin, things were different.
Lu Yin continuously attacked Fengbo, using his consciousness, domain, and spiritual force. Flowing Light constantly circled around him to guard against Fengbo's innate gift while also devouring Zhu Huo's time. Fengbo's position was provided by Hongyan Mavis.
Lu Yin's attacks were so powerful that Fengbo coughed up blood every time he hit him, but nine out of ten times, he failed to hit him.
It was not easy for an expert of the Seven Skygods to be trapped. Lu Yin was still a half-step Ancestor, not even a Progenitor. No matter how strong his battle prowess was, there would always be a limit, and it would be difficult for this limit to suppress Fengbo's upper limit.
Fengbo's arm constantly changed from withered to normal, and his endless inner worlds collided again and again, causing him to be unable to lift his right arm.
"Right."
Lu Yin's left arm struck out.
Flowing Light.
Fengbo appeared along with the flow of energy, looking extremely miserable. When he saw Lu Yin's punch coming, the void expanded and continuously dispersed Lu Yin's power. The punch landed on him and sent him flying even further away.
The fog was constantly pushed away by the grass, and Hongyan Mavis and Lu Yin chased after him.
They had been chasing after Fengbo for a long time within the mirage.
Not only was Lu Yin unable to lift his right arm, but his left arm was also at its limit.
He did not count how many punches he had thrown out. It might have been a hundred, or even two hundred. In any case, his arm was already trembling from the exhaustion, and blood was seeping out of his skin. Lu Yin had even used the Victorious Battle Technique, but no matter how strong his willpower was, there was still a limit to his body.
No matter how miserable Fengbo was, there was still a long way to go before he was killed. Lu Yin could not cross this distance. With the General Appointing Platform and the Divine Seal Catalog, no matter how many Progenitors appeared, they would not even be able to touch Fengbo. Lu Yin could only rely on himself.
Lu Yin panted heavily, unwilling to give up. This was also an encirclement, and he had joined forces with Hongyan Mavis to kill him. He had reached his limit.
He had tried rolling his die, but this place was no longer connected to time. Pips had not changed, which meant that he could not rely on Pips to recover. There was no concept of time here.
This was equivalent to depriving him of one of his methods.
Cough cough.
Lu Yin forced himself to raise his right arm, but he could only raise it to his heart before he could no longer move it.
Hongyan Mavis was helpless, "Forget it, you've already reached your limit."
Lu Yin gritted his teeth, "Senior, this old fellow is also nearing his limit."
Hongyan Mavis was bitter, "Even if you were added to the mix, he still wouldn't reach his limit."
Lu Yin opened his mouth to say something, but Hongyan Mavis spoke first, "It's my fault."
Lu Yin asked, "What did you do wrong?"
Hongyan Mavis shook her head, "If I had trusted you from the start and cooperated with you, we might have been able to kill him."
Lu Yin said, "You can't say that. If Senior trusted others so easily, then Junior would not have come."
"No one is right or wrong, I can only say that this old fellow's life is not meant to end."
At this point, they were no longer on the banks of the River of Time. They had long since entered the depths of the forest.
Lu Yin was curious, "Senior, were you the one who planted this bamboo forest?"
Hongyan Mavis replied, "Not me, this is a type of plant that grows in the mirage. Plants are very mysterious; as long as there is a place for them to grow, they can always find a way to survive no matter how harsh the environment is.
"When I first came here, there were not only bamboo here, but also flowers. Unfortunately, those flowers have been plucked away."
"Are they useful?" Lu Yin asked.
"Useless. I don't even know who plucked them, how wicked."
In the distance, Fengbo's voice rang out from the mist, "Hongyan, what's the point of trapping me in the mirage?
The mirage is huge, and you didn't even search the entire area. Do you really think you can trap me here? "
Hongyan Mavis sneered, "Then run. If you have the ability, run to a place we haven't been to before."

Brothers, please forgive me. Sometimes, it's not that I don't want to update, but that I can't!
My baby is just five months old, and I haven't had a good night's sleep. I'm too tired, and I've already quit my previous job. Now, I'm working at a friend's company, and it's not easy either. I'll have to go on a business trip next month.
Even now, I'm writing a few more words every day, but I still can't keep up with the consumption. I'm constantly jumping between having and not having any chapters!
The only thing keeping me going is the support of my brothers. Thank you, thank you!
