Da Heng trembled and stared at his skeletal abdomen. He wouldn't die, but it would take some time for him to recover.
"What happened to him?" Second Meng was stunned.
Lu Yin fell and walked into the mist calmly.
The next moment, Tianfa entered. "Hmm?
Mirage Domain? "
In the end, Second Purple fell and Second Bone hurriedly pulled Second Purple over with White Bone. Otherwise, Second Purple would have smashed into the Star Toad's head. Although they didn't know the Star Toad, they sensed danger from it.
The Mirage Domain was no longer quiet.
The mist moved slowly, which made Second Bone and the others wary. They kept moving toward the empty space.
The Star Toad wasn't too afraid. It understood that this was the time of mist transformation. The power of time wasn't unfamiliar to an expert like it who had crossed the Bitter Calamity. It could resist it.
However, Da Heng was terrified.
Lu Yin and Grand Elder Dan Gu stood in the mist, looking very conspicuous.
Tianfa said in a low voice, "Daolord Lu, do you think entering the Mirage Domain will allow this person to escape from me?"
"No one can escape from Tianfa."
The Star Toad looked up in shock. "Protector of the Four Directions, Tianfa?
You're here too? "
In the First Calamity Domain, it had seen Butterfly Grace. Now that it saw Tianfa in the blood-red liquid, it was even more wary.
Tianfa's blood-red liquid moved and seemed to be looking at the Star Toad. "It's you. We've met before."
The Star Toad grinned, revealing a fawning smile. He swung his lotus leaf and said, "Yes, I've seen you before. You go about your business, don't worry about me."
Lu Yin looked at the Star Toad. "Star Toad, didn't we agree to deal with Tianfa in the Mirage Domain?
The price for hiring you is to let you enter the Mirage Domain. "
Tianfa's killing intent surged, filling the mirage domain with blood. Second Bone and the others felt their hair stand on end. They tried their best not to make a sound. They knew very well that the people in front of them were all terrifying existences. Although Master Lu hadn't reached the supreme level yet, his strength was quite abnormal.
The Star Toad screamed, "Lu Yin, don't talk nonsense. When did you hire me to deal with Tianfa?
That's Tianfa. You want to deal with the Protectors of the Four Directions?
Are you crazy? "
Lu Yin's lips curled up, "Stop pretending, Tianfa won't trust you. You want to sneak up on me? No way. Fight openly."
With that, he turned to Heavenly Punishment. "You Protectors of the Four Directions have repeatedly caused trouble for the Above Heaven Sect. Do you really think I don't know that you're helping the Eternals? Once I get rid of you, Heavenly Punishment will be next."
"You want to deal with the Guardians of the Four Directions?
Do you know how messy this universe would be without us? "Divine Punishment's voice was getting lower and lower.
"Human, you don't know what's good for you. Without us, you wouldn't have a stable living space. We've sacrificed so much for this universe. We've been stabilizing this universe and blocking the strong enemies from the outside."
"Is this your reason for attacking the Primogenitor?" Lu Yin barked.
The Star Toad was astonished. The Guardian Envoys were going to deal with the human ancestors?
Heavenly Punishment was silent for a moment. "The human race isn't stable. Tai Chu actually fixed the mirage domain in this universe. We've warned him, but he still does as he pleases and acts recklessly. If we allow him to do as he pleases, this universe will be connected to other universes one day. Our years of hard work will then be for nothing. This is for the greater good of the universe."
"The human race is a selfish race that is filled with violence.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
This race cannot expand too quickly and cannot dominate the universe. Tai Chu was like that. We hope that you won't follow in his footsteps. "
Lu Yin looked up and took a deep breath. He laughed, but his laughter was filled with mockery. "The greater good of the universe. Does this mean that if I bring the Above Heaven Sect back to the Primogenitor's glory one day, you'll also attack me?"
Heavenly Punishment spoke up. "As long as you don't destroy the stability of the universe, we won't attack you. We don't target any creature. The human race is too unstable, so we pay more attention to it. However, if you're different from Tai Chu and we can see that, you can continue to exist."
"What if I bring the human race to the point where it can truly dominate this universe?" Lu Yin asked.
Heavenly Punishment paused. "One of the duties of the Four Protectors is to expel creatures that don't belong to this universe. Another is to stabilize this universe and the human race."
"Race my ass!" Lu Yin punched at Heavenly Punishment.
An endless inner world appeared, and the lines of power collided. When things reach an extreme, they will move in the opposite direction.
The punch blasted toward Divine Punishment. The mountain of blades in front of Divine Punishment was shattered by the power of the punch, but it also blocked the power of the punch.
"Attacking us? It seems that you're the same type of person as Tai Chu. In that case, the Above Heaven Sect will have a new master."
Heavenly Punishment attacked, and the blades extended endlessly. At the same time, Lu Yin couldn't move. The void was like a chain that forced Lu Yin to endure the attack.
Lu Yin clenched his fist. When things reach an extreme, they will move in the opposite direction. At the same time, the battle force of the Palm Realm covered the surrounding void, causing it to crack.
Great Elder Shan Gu attacked. "Heaven and Earth Mystic King, please use the Indestructible Hand." A huge hand broke through the void and grabbed at Heavenly Punishment.
A spear appeared in front of Heavenly Punishment. "Heavenly Spear."
Even Lu Yuan would find it difficult to break free from the chains of time, let alone Shan Gu.
The spear broke through the Indestructible Hand and turned towards Great Elder Shan Gu.
The Startoad watched from the side, unable to interfere. These were the Protectors of the Four Protectors, and if one was provoked, four would come. From what it had heard, Tai Chu had been killed by them. It was no wonder that the Eternals had been able to silently invade the First Mainland.
It knew very well how powerful Tai Chu was, but even he had been killed. It didn't want to provoke four Primordial Realm powerhouses.
Second Bone and the others waited quietly in the distance, waiting for the outcome of this battle.
Hongyan Mavis walked out of Mount Supreme beside Lu Yin. She was the only expert that Lu Yin had brought to the mirage to deal with Heavenly Punishment.
If they had to deal with Heavenly Punishment, they had to be on guard against the Eternals as well. Lu Yuan had stayed behind to deal with the Ancient Gods and prevent the Eternals from attacking the Above Heaven Sect. Hongyan Mavis naturally wasn't enough to deal with Heavenly Punishment. The true choice was the Startoad.
Lu Yin had set up the mirage to lure the Startoad over. Without the Startoad, they had no one to deal with Heavenly Punishment.
Hongyan Mavis punched the Skysplit, "It's time to settle Master's grudge today."
"Tai Chu deserves to die! He went against the rules of the universe, and you disciples shouldn't have stayed either. Since you attacked us, we'll destroy the Above Heaven Sect once we get out. From now on, the Above Heaven Sect will no longer exist in this universe."
"Let's talk about that after you get out alive."
Hongyan Mavis was incomparably powerful. She raised her fist, and her power formed a terrifying rumbling sound, causing the Mirage Domain to tremble. Second Bone and the others watched with trepidation. If they were hit by this fist, they would definitely die.
The power of Hongyan Mavis' punch was earth-shattering, but Heavenly Punishment had no intention of dodging it.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
However, the punch actually disappeared as it approached Heavenly Punishment.
Hongyan Mavis was confused; how could this be?
No one could understand, not even the Startoad. However, it was certain that Heavenly Punishment had used a sequence law.
There were countless sequence laws in the universe, and what one could comprehend depended on the individual. As for what Heavenly Punishment's law was, it was something that needed to be explored.
Countless blades slashed towards Hongyan Mavis from below.
The Void Chains that bound Lu Yin suddenly snapped, and he twisted his wrist to release the starry sky in his heart. He visualized the land and reassembled it. At the same time, the Wordless Heavenly Book appeared, and golden light filled the mirage, bringing with it the power of life that pressed down on Heavenly Punishment.
Heavenly Punishment was astonished, "Tai Chu's power. That's the Primordial Space's recognition."
As the land pressed down, countless blades bloomed beside Heavenly Punishment like lotuses, slashing towards the land above. The endless blades continuously whittled away at the land. Back then, Fengbo had used his pagoda-shaped sword to resist, but Heavenly Punishment had used her blades to resist.
Even a Primordial Realm expert could not ignore the destructive power of the Seven Skygods.
A Primordial Realm expert could create a huge gap between himself and a Progenitor, but it could also be the same.
An increase in realm did not necessarily mean that one's battle prowess would increase.
A Primordial Realm expert could prevent the laws from approaching them. If Lu Yin could do this with the laws of the Sequence, then his threat to Heavenly Punishment would be greatly reduced. However, he relied on his own strength and did not have the laws of the Sequence. As a result, his threat to Heavenly Punishment was no different from Hongyan Mavis and the other Three Realms' Six Paths.
"Startoad, what are you waiting for?" Lu Yin barked.
Startoad was startled, "Don't spout nonsense, Lu Yin. Why would I help you deal with the Four Protectors? I'm friends with them."
"I'll hire you."
"I won't do business that's guaranteed to lose."
"You don't want to reach the Eternal Realm?"
Lu Yin's words attracted Heavenly Punishment's attention. The Eternal Realm was a legendary realm that no one in the universe had ever stepped foot into, including the strongest person in history, Tai Chu.
Startoad was stunned, "What did you say?
The Eternal Realm?
You think you're worthy of mentioning it?
You're just a Half-Progenitor. "
"What about me?"
Hongyan Mavis stared at Startoad, "I've been here for countless years. You could say that I've been here since the second continent shattered and explored this place thoroughly. If not for the Ancestral World being taken away by the Eternals, I would've broken through long ago."
"Let me tell you, the path to eternal life is in this mirage."
Startoad raised its lotus leaf and stomped its foot, "Do you think I'm an idiot? If there's the Eternal Realm, why isn't Tai Chu?
Do you really think I'm stupid?
I'm a businessman, the type that's guaranteed to make a profit. "
Hongyan Mavis countered the countless blades as she spoke to the Star Toad, "That is not a path that humans should take. Before our civilization appeared in this universe, there was more than one civilization that existed here. That is a path that other species should take. We humans cannot take it. You are not a human."
"Who are you scolding?
No, I'm not human to begin with. Are you serious? "
The Star Toad hesitated. It was sure that the Mirage Domain had a path to immortality. If one were to ask who understood the Mirage Domain the most, it would be Absolute Beginning and the others. Absolute Beginning and the others had fixed the Mirage Domain in the Primordial Space, which was absolutely shameless. Even the Guardian Envoys couldn't stand it.
"Why did Destiny cultivate again?
You should have heard that she was the one who discovered that path. Otherwise, with her talent, she would've broken through long ago. It's not like you don't know that she's the most talented among us, "Hongyan Mavis tempted.
