Torch City was built around a springboard. It was a base for the spiritualized universe in the middle of the three universes, but it was also a springboard.
Outer space was dark, but Torch City was brightly lit. Countless spiritualized cultivators were stationed there, and it was the frontline to attack the Consciousness Universe.
Cultivators were different from mortals. Every cultivator had their own cultivation environment and method. Even if the spiritualized universe invaded the Consciousness Universe, it was impossible for them to arrange their cultivators like an army.
The Ancestor had already told Lu Yin this in the Boundless Universe.
"Small teams?" Lu Yin was surprised. The Ancestor, Chuyi, and the rest were surprised as well.
The Ancestor's tone was heavy, "The spiritualized universe used many methods to attack the Consciousness Universe. At first, it was as everyone knew, a large-scale attack to sweep through our Consciousness Universe. However, the strongest thing about the Consciousness Universe is its consciousness, and you've all heard me say that consciousness is completely illusory. It's connected by the thoughts of living beings, and the consciousness will appear in whatever form the living being imagines. This caused the spiritualized cultivators to be unable to fight as one.
"Furthermore, consciousness is an area of effect attack. It doesn't matter if it's a single person or a group of people, they're all enveloped by this consciousness.
"A large-scale attack was not worth it. After that, the spiritualized universe constantly changed their methods of attack. Before I left the Consciousness Universe, they had a fixed method of attack, which was small teams.
"Every small team depends on the strength of the leader. They can have ten, a hundred, or even a thousand people. Every small team has an extremely powerful consciousness cultivator who matches the members of the team according to their attacking methods. This ensures that they can deal with all the consciousness lifeforms that have appeared in the Consciousness Universe.
"Although this method is not as efficient as a large-scale attack, it's more stable. They can advance step by step, and some powerful teams can use the Boulder's Foundation to attack the powerful lifeforms of the Consciousness Universe. This can be considered as training for the spiritualized universe."
The Ancestor's expression was ugly, "When I left, the Consciousness Universe had already been suppressed by countless small teams from the spiritualized universe. I don't know how it is now, but the situation should be even worse."
"Why doesn't the Consciousness Universe work together to wipe out those small teams?" Mu Zhu asked.
The Ancestor of the Past said bitterly, "Squads can communicate with one another. For every ten or a hundred squads, there's a distance where you can avoid them as quickly as possible and reinforce them as quickly as possible. Moreover, there will definitely be captains. Captains are usually Primordial realm experts. Even in our universe, how many Primordial realm experts do we have?"
"At the end of the day, their absolute power is still inferior to the spiritualized universe. The spiritualized universe has the absolute advantage."
Lu Yin frowned. A small team attack?
It didn't seem like a problem, but if he wanted to defeat the consciousness universe as soon as possible, this method would waste too much time.
Regardless of whether it was the spiritualized universe or the Universe of Consciousness, both sides might have thought that this was for the sake of the spiritualized universe's cultivators. They wanted to reduce the losses and would rather take a longer time. However, Lu Yin was certain that this was because Yu Sang Tian did not want to restart the Universe of Consciousness so early.
He controlled the Small Spirit Universe, so restarting the consciousness universe and the Tian Yuan universe would not benefit him.
"In the past, there were seven Sang Heavens in the spiritualized universe. Five of them went to our universe of consciousness, and Yu Sang Tian took the Boulder's Foundation. In that battle, our universe of consciousness suffered heavy losses. More than half of the absolute elites were slaughtered. Some surrendered, and some fled. Black Wushen and White Wushen joined the spiritualized universe during that battle, and I also fled during that battle."
She guessed, "At that time, I didn't know about the existence of a springboard, and the spiritualized universe shouldn't have been able to use it either. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken them ten thousand years to reach the Tian Yuan universe. Since the springboard exists between the three universes, there must be many spiritualized teams stationed there. They can switch teams from the consciousness universe at any time.
"Although I don't want to admit it, to the spiritualized universe, going to our universe of consciousness to fight is both a training and an honor. It can pave the way for many people to climb to a higher position. If we can eliminate all of those teams, the spiritualized universe will definitely be turned upside down."
At this point, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Lu Yin expectantly. "Master Lu, if there are a hundred teams attacking our universe of consciousness, then there must be at least a hundred people who are related to the spiritualized universe's Yu Sang Tian, Sang Tian, and other absolute higher-ups. These people might be juniors or disciples. As long as we control these people, the spiritualized universe will definitely be shaken. They can't afford to lose them."
Lu Yin nodded. "That makes sense." He suddenly reached out and grabbed the Ancestor's neck.
The Ancestor subconsciously wanted to resist, but with so many experts around her, she forcefully endured it and didn't dare to move. She allowed Lu Yin to grab her and forcefully pull her down. She couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood that spilled onto the ground.
Eh?
P >
Lu Yin looked down at Ancestor Xi, "Are you used to lying to me or do you think I'm stupid?"
"The tremors of the spiritualized universe brought no apprehension or compromise, but slaughter, revenge, and hatred."
"You want to shift the hatred of the spiritualized universe onto me? You're courting death."
Ancestor Xi coughed. "Master Lu, I didn't. That's not what I meant."
Lu Yin stared at her. "If you want to resolve the crisis of your universe, then cooperate with me. I will deal with the spiritualized universe. If I help you deal with those small teams now, I will only bring about the attacks of Yu Sang Tian and the Seven Great Sang Tian. What I want is to disintegrate and completely destroy the spiritualized universe, not a battle where I know that I will die. I can't care if you want to court death, but if there's a next time, I will kill you."
With a casual wave of his hand, the Ancestor Xi fell into the distance with a pale face.
She had once been the Qing Luo Sword Sky who had killed her way up to Lu Tianjing. She was extremely powerful, and even after she joined the Everlasting Race, she was considered the housekeeper of Disaster Region. Even the Seven Heavenly Gods didn't dare to act rashly. To a certain extent, she could command the Everlasting Race in battle, and she had indeed done so many times.
If not for her value, Lu Yin would have killed her long ago.
The Ancestor Xi looked calm, but her heart was filled with countless schemes. These schemes constantly wanted to push Lu Yin to the opposite side of the spiritualized universe so that she could exhaust the spiritualized universe's strength.
Lu Yin had experienced the thirty-seven years in reverse, and he was very clear about the status of those elites in the spiritualized universe.
Those who had been able to accompany the president and the others in the first wave of attacks against the Tian Yuan Universe were all geniuses amongst the elites. All of them had reached the level of Envoys at a young age, and all of them had spiritualized molts that were related to the Yu Sang Sky and the Seven Great Sang Skies. Even so, when Lu Yin had captured those people in the tributary of the River of Time, he had never thought of using them to threaten the spiritualized universe.
A universe with a unified cultivation model had no lack of geniuses. If this generation couldn't do it, then the next generation could.
Killing those people would only bring about hatred.
The Ancestor Xi had hoped that Lu Yin's Limitless would directly enter the Consciousness Universe and sweep through the spiritualized universe's numerous small teams. How could that be possible?
At first glance, this seemed better than Lu Yin and the others directly attacking the spiritualized universe. At the very least, they would be working together with the Consciousness Universe. However, the true result would be that Limitless would become bait and help the Consciousness Universe exhaust the spiritualized universe's strength. In the end, it would be spiritualized.
The universe would be massacred, and not a single person would be left alive. The Consciousness Universe would then take the opportunity to recuperate.
If they went to the Consciousness Universe, they wouldn't be working together. Instead, they would be schemed against by two universes.
Lu Yin had started as an ordinary person and slowly climbed to his current position. Although it had only been a short time, what had he not seen?
He had Wei Rong and Wang Wen by his side, and he had heard of all sorts of plots and schemes. He had also devised many of them, and he had seen through the Ancestor Xi at a glance.
It wasn't just him; the Progenitor, Chu Yi, Celestial Victor, and the others had all seen through it.
The Consciousness Universe's lifeforms could not be trusted. Even if they had been invaded by the spiritualized universe, it did not mean that they were good people. Different lifeforms did not understand each other, and if they truly wanted to cooperate, it would be impossible unless one side was in a desperate situation.
Survival in the universe was cruel, and kindness did not apply to the universe's laws, much less to war.
Furthermore, Lu Yin still had to make up for his karma. Yu Sang Tian could not possibly send those who had karma with Lu Yin to the Consciousness Universe; he was not stupid.
Limitless continued to head into the distance.
A year's time was almost up, and Lu Yin and the others had solemn expressions. Soon, soon.
At the same time, some distance ahead of them, Torch City had been brightly lit, but many of the lights had been extinguished.
Bang!
There was a loud bang as ripples spread out into the distance.
Torch City was in chaos.
"They won't be able to escape. Seal off the news and don't spread it back to Beyond Heaven. Once Lord Yu Sang Tian finds out, everyone will die."
"Don't worry, the other members of their team have already been controlled. No one will help them."
"What about the people from the Myriad Beasts Border and Imperial God Mountain?"
"They want to kill that bastard couple even more than we do."
"That bastard couple actually dared to break the rules and implicate us. They'll die a horrible death."
Cultivators shuttled through Torch City, searching for them.
In a corner of Torch City, two figures were hiding under a wall. It was a man and a woman.
The man's appearance was strange, and he looked like a human. However, his ears were twice the size of a normal person's and were dark green in color. They were vertical, as if they were being blown by a gale. His dark golden eyes rippled with a cold aura, and he had a tail that was also dark green in color.
The woman had a tranquil appearance, and although she could not be considered beautiful, she gave off a warm feeling.
The two were curled up under the wall, hugging each other tightly.
Fresh blood flowed and dyed the ground red. It came from the man's back.
The woman pressed her hand on the man's back, and blood dyed her sleeves red. Her eyes were red as she said with heartache, "You shouldn't have done this."
The man hugged the woman tightly and smiled. "If I didn't do this, would you still be able to come back?
That old man knows about us and doesn't dare to make a move here, so he specially arranged for you to enter the consciousness universe again. You won't be able to survive there. Don't worry, we'll definitely be able to escape back to the spiritualized universe and live in seclusion for the rest of our lives. "
The woman shook her head. "This is Torch City. How can we escape?"
"I won't make a move if I'm not fully prepared. That old man wouldn't even dream that I would make a move at this moment. He has already followed this team to the consciousness universe, and the team from the consciousness universe hasn't returned yet. Now is the time when Torch City has the least number of cultivators."
"The city lord is still here."
"I have a way."
Suddenly, the two of them raised their heads and looked down. Immediately after, a majestic pressure descended and shattered the house.
The two of them hurriedly dodged, and the ground caved in.
