Ancestor Hui had been the same. In order to scheme against the Eternals and save the human race, he had sacrificed his own son, and in the end, he had sacrificed himself as well.
Humanity's destiny and victory were built on the sacrifices of these people.
"Path Master Lu, help me pass a message to Wu Tian."
The Undying God looked at Lu Yin. During the battle at Immemorial City, he had intentionally avoided Wu Tian and chosen the gravekeeper instead. Perhaps he did not know how to face him, or perhaps he did not want to.
"I don't owe him anything, and neither does he owe me anything. Even if he wasn't imprisoned in the Third Calamity Region, I would not fight to the death with the Eternals for the sake of humanity. What does the fate of humanity have to do with me?" With that, his body exploded and turned into an immortal seed that floated in front of Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked at the seed. No one knew what would happen if things did not happen. The Undying God had awakened, and Wu Tian had hoped that he would awaken. In his own position, he lived with more clarity than anyone else.
Lu Yin grabbed the seed and crushed it. From then on, the Undying God would never appear again.
Lu Yin looked into the distance. Hei Wushen had run away, and there was still Ruins.
In the distance, within the dark clouds, an eyeball spun. It was Ruins.
"I'm curious. Why didn't you use the True God's Freedom Technique in the Immemorial City Battlefield?" Lu Yin asked.
Ruins' eyeball spun, and the dark cloud turned to flee. He still wanted to live, and as long as the seed did not shatter, he could be revived. Lu Yin was clearly not his match.
Lu Yin watched as Ruins fled, and then he used the Reverse Step to parallel time.
Everything around him went still, and only the dark cloud continued to flee. The eyeball continued to spin.
Lu Yin's body instantly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Ruins.
He had used Flowing Light to travel through spacetime.
Ruins' eyeball stared blankly at Lu Yin. "You've already killed me once. Let me go, I'm already dead."
Lu Yin looked at Ruins. "There are many restrictions to your revival through the True God's Immortal Art. Some powers cannot be used. You haven't truly revived."
"So what? As long as I'm alive," Ruins barked.
Lu Yin was disappointed. He had wanted to leave Ruins to absorb his consciousness and recover his planet, but he had just thought it through. They had not truly revived, and the power that they had used came from the One True God. It was all fake.
. "Ruins' current consciousness was of no help to him.
Lu Yin, Ruins, and Ruins.
The soil was crushed. Ruins released howls of anguish. It was quickly erased, leaving behind only a seed.
Lu Yin understood them all too well. The Ruins all had innate gifts, and whether they were seen or not, it would not have been easy for Lu Yin to kill the Three Masters and Six Limitless Gods if he had not fought them together.
It was precisely because he understood it too well that he was able to deal with it so easily.
After crushing the seed, Lu Yin looked towards the other end of the bone vessel. They were still there.
Cracks continuously appeared on the bone boat, and it shook violently before splitting into two.
Lu Yin watched as the bone boat continued to move further and further away. On the other side was the One True God and the others.
Lu Yin frowned. Where were the Forgotten Ruins Deity and Wang Xiaoyu?
They should have been there as well. There was also Black Wushen. He had run away as well. This guy was a gift left for the only true god.
"Daolord Lu, I'm impressed. You hunted down the Eternals alone, destroyed the bone boat, and killed almost all of the Three High Ones and Six Vast Ones. Even Absolute Beginning might not be able to do such a thing," said the One True God.
"If it was a progenitor, you wouldn't have survived either."
The One True God smiled. "Do you think you can't kill me?"
"I didn't think that I could kill you from the very beginning. I was just testing the waters so that the Grand Empyrean's sacrifice wouldn't have been in vain," Lu Yin said.
He then walked into outer space. Behind him, half of the bone boat had been destroyed. As for the bones, he did not destroy them. Instead, he took them with him.
"Tai Hong?
She's just a crazy woman. Her restriction won't last for long, "said the One True God.
Lu Yin stared at him. "She is indeed a crazy woman. But that crazy woman changed history."
He had not understood the One True God's strength during the battle in the Calamity Zone, and he had felt the urge to gather all the human experts to kill the One True God. However, the battle atop the black mother tree in Primeval City had completely awakened him. The One True God had rendered him powerless, and even though he had broken through to the Progenitor Realm, he did not think that he would be able to change that much.
The One True God was the strongest person in this universe, and only the Progenitor and Mister Mu could contend against him. Lu Yin was still not his match.
Unfortunately, he could not bring Mister Mu and the others across the River of Time. Crossing the River of Time would change one's position in the past. It was like reversing a wave. He could only reverse his own wave, but he could not change others. Otherwise, he would not be crossing the River of Time, but going against it. The karma that he would have to bear was unimaginable.
When crossing the River of Time, Mister Mu had warned him that anyone who changed a cause that did not belong to him would have to bear severe consequences.
For example, if Lu Yin brought someone into Mount Supreme and crossed the River of Time, and the time that changed one's position did not overlap with that person's, then he could bring that person along. If that person changed their cause during that time, then once they crossed the River of Time, they would change the karma of others.
In other words, Lu Yin could not bring anyone who participated in the battle of Primeval City with him. This was also the reason why Lu Yin had killed his way into the bone ship alone.
Facing the One True God alone was not just a test, but also an explanation to the Grand Empyrean.
If the Grand Empyrean had not sacrificed himself to trap the One True God, then the result of the battle of Primeval City might have been different.
Even so, Lu Yin still had to try. Whether or not he could kill the One True God, he had to at least try and not let the Grand Empyrean's sacrifice go to waste.
Soil covered the sky and came from the heart of the starry sky. Limitless power spiraled and brought about an unparalleled pressure that pressed down on the One True God's half of the bone ship. The soil was below and the sky was above. Now that the soil was in the sky, it was bound to overturn the sky. Overturning Sky Palm.
This time, the Overturning Sky Palm was stronger than any of the previous ones. The soil came from the Mortal Ancestor's World, and the pressure was not only from the Mortal Ancestor's World, but also from the constellation of limitless power. It represented the limits of this universe's lifeforms.
Beside the One True God, the Ancient God's expression turned solemn. He sighed and was about to attack when the One True God stopped him.
The One True God looked up and praised, "A concept battle technique. When you created this battle technique as Lu Xiaoxuan, I was already very surprised. Lu Yuan personally appeared and the Seven Skygods killed their way into the Astral Tree Realm. That was their respect for you. Master Lu, whether it was during Lu Xiaoxuan's era or Lu Yin's era, you both have amazing innate abilities."
"But aren't you looking down on me too much?
Tai Hong made it difficult for me to attack, but that doesn't mean I can't even protect myself. The limits of the True God Heaven Switching Art are beyond your imagination. "With that, he leapt up and stood on the shattered bone ship, allowing the Overturning Sky Palm to fall.
The Overturning Sky Palm swept past the Six Paths of Reincarnation and struck the One True God.
The True God Heaven Switching Art formed a dark red light that was hidden under the golden Six Paths of Reincarnation. The Overturning Sky Palm struck, and the One True God's bone ship cracked. He raised his arms to block the attack as he stared at Lu Yin.
Rumble …
The starry sky shook as terrifying cracks tore through the starry sky and spread to the sides.
Lu Yin's Overturning Sky Palm failed to break through the True God Heaven Switching Art.
Lu Yin's current strength was extremely great, but it had not reached the level where he could break through the True God Heaven Switching Art. It could even seal a Primordial realm expert. Even if he could break through it, it would take him a very long time.
In the battle of Immemorial City, he had worked with Gou Lian and Lu Yuan. Even Progenitor Chen could not break through the True God Heaven Switching Art. The defense of this art was just too powerful.
The One True God's lips curled up as a trickle of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth. He was not unscathed either. He had to endure the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Overturning Sky Palm at the same time. Even this supreme of the universe felt pressured. "Path Master Lu, look over there."
Lu Yin looked in the direction the One True God was pointing and saw the butterfly, Tianen.
Tianen had already left the bone ship and was flying off into the distance.
"You only have one chance. You can either kill us or kill her. It's up to you," the One True God said.
In the distance, Tianen continued to fly, but she could not break through the parallel space. She hated the One True God to the core. It was he who had forced her out of the bone ship and confined her to this parallel space. He had also injected the True God Heaven Switching Art into her body. She knew the One True God's intentions very well.
However, she could not escape. She was too heavily injured in the battle of Immemorial City. The Ancient Gods could easily suppress her. She was now one of Lu Yin's choices. He could either kill her or kill the One True God and the others.
The dignified Protector of the Four Cardinal Regions had actually been reduced to a mere choice. How tragic was this?
She had never thought that she would have such a day. Never.
No matter what, they had once surrounded and killed the Human Progenitor and dragged down the most powerful lifeforms of this universe, turning them into servants of that omnipotent existence. How could this be?
She was unwilling to accept this.
She did not want to die like Tianfa.
In outer space, Lu Yin watched as the One True God and the others' bone ship continued to fly away. A choice?
"It's a very interesting choice, isn't it, Daolord Lu?"
The One True God's voice rang out.
Lu Yin looked at him and saw the Ancient God and Tiangou.
Two people and one dog. This was the remaining strength of the Eternals. Of course, there was also the Forgotten Ruins God, Wang Xiaoyu, and Blackless God, who had disappeared without a trace.
In the distance, there was also a butterfly.
Lu Yin could not kill the One True God. The Ancient God was controlled by the One True God, so he had to help the One True God and that unkillable Tiangou.
The One True God had given him a choice because he did not want Lu Yin to keep an eye on him. Even if Lu Yin could not kill him, as long as he kept an eye on him, he would not have an easy time when Mister Mu and the others arrived.
As for Lu Yin, he was not confident that he could keep an eye on the One True God. If the One True God had the Ancient God fight to the death, he would definitely be able to escape. It was meaningless.
Lu Yin stopped looking at the butterfly and looked directly at the One True God. "I have a question."
The One True God was interested. "Go ahead."
"Everything you're doing now, are you doing it willingly?"
Lu Yin asked slowly. His voice was not loud, but it was like a morning bell that crashed into the One True God's and the Ancient God's minds.
The Ancient God subconsciously looked at the One True God.
The Tiangou also looked up at the One True God.
The One True God looked deeply at Lu Yin. "It's your turn to make a choice."
Lu Yin closed his eyes and let go of the bone ship, allowing the One True God and the others, to fly away. He glanced at the butterfly, Tianen, with a cold gaze.
In the distance, the butterfly turned around and met Lu Yin's cold gaze. It said in a gentle voice, "Dao Master Lu, we have not reached the point where we have to fight to the death."
"In my opinion, we have." Lu Yin took a step forward and moved through the void, arriving directly behind the butterfly.
At that moment, the force that had bound the butterfly to this parallel space disappeared. The butterfly's body shone brightly, and specks of light scattered throughout the parallel space, creating a dreamlike illusion.
