Looking at Yi Yao's determined gaze, Ba Liu said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."
Yi Yao smiled and shook her head. "I'm very happy. You did everything you could for me. I'm really happy, really."
Attacks enveloped them from all directions. They were not meant to kill, but they had nowhere to run.
Ba Liu held Yi Yao's hand tightly and shouted, "There's still one more chance. Prepare to attack the city gate."
Yi Yao was surprised.
Suddenly, the entire Torch City turned pitch-black. The lights that were originally brightly lit seemed illusory.
Everyone was surprised. What had happened?
The cultivators who could come to Torch City had all reached the level of void exploration. Darkness and lights did not affect them much. However, Torch City had a rule that the city had to be brightly lit. This was an order from Yu Sang Tian.
At this moment, the lights were extinguished in an instant.
Yi Xia was furious. "What's going on?"
Ba Liu shot out five throwing knives to defend against the surrounding cultivators who wanted to catch them. Yi Yao shook her hand. Green ripples spread from beneath her feet and bombarded the city gate. This was a power similar to the ancestral world.
Progenitor realm cultivators often reached the same goal through different means, even though their cultivation methods were different.
The green ripples swayed the city gate, but it did not immediately break open.
Ba Liu coughed out blood and shot a throwing knife at the city gate.
The throwing knife pierced through the city gate. He was excited and pulled Yi Yao to rush out.
A gloomy face appeared in front of him. It was Yi Xia.
A terrifying aura suppressed Ba Liu and Yi Yao until they could not breathe. Their faces were pale. This was the difference in strength.
Ba Liu was only a half-step Progenitor. In the spiritualized universe, he was at the level of a spiritual warrior. Yi Yao was only a Spirit Progenitor, but Yi Xia was a Sequence Law Progenitor. There was a difference of a major realm.
Ba Liu and Yi Yao worked together, but it was useless in front of Yi Xia. Yi Xia's Sequence Particles easily disintegrated their attacks.
A deep sense of powerlessness exhausted Ba Liu. He had used all means to get here. Extinguishing the lights in Torch City was a backup plan he had left behind. In fact, it was used to activate the springboard to buy time. Just now, he had staked everything. He knew that it would be difficult to escape from Torch City, but he was unwilling to give up.
When he saw Yi Xia blocking the city gate, he knew that it was completely over.
He was far from being a match for a Sequence Law Progenitor.
Yi Yao was helpless. How difficult was it to escape from Torch Fire City? In the end, he still failed.
At this moment, Yi Xia's fury had reached the heavens. His eyes were somewhat red. First, he was forced to confess to the ancestor and let the ancestor take responsibility for leaking the foundation. He thought that he would be fine with Yu Sang Tian, but he did not expect Ba Liu to extinguish all the lights in Torch City. This matter would also become a stain on his record.
A mere Ling Zhan, a mere piece of trash, had actually caused him to suffer losses just because of this bit of love. Detestable, detestable.
"You're courting death." Yi Xia clenched her teeth in anger.
As soon as the words left his mouth, his body trembled, his pupils dilated, and he collapsed to the ground.
Not only Yi Xia, Ba Liu, Yi Yao, all the cultivators in the surroundings, and even all the cultivators in Torch Fire City collapsed in an instant.
There were eight Sequence Law experts around the springboard, all of them cultivating the Sequence Law of the Cross Section to protect the springboard.
Now, he had also fallen in an instant, without any power to fight back.
Torch City instantly fell into a deathly silence.
In the distance, a huge battleship descended. It was Wu Jiang.
At the bow of the ship, Lu Yin, the Primal Ancestors, and the others looked at Torch City, "As expected, there are many cultivators here."
"There are many more springboards.
That's just too many. Only Primordial realm experts can create springboards. Just how many Primordial realm experts did the spiritualised universe use?
How many years did it take?
What's the point of these springboards? "
"That's the true springboard. Originally, I thought it would only be a few hundred or a few thousand times larger than the ones we created. I never thought it would be so much larger, like a planet."
"With each jump, even if it's just a tiny increase in distance, the size of the springboard will multiply. There's nothing strange about that."
"The spiritualised universe is very cautious, completely protecting the springboard and creating a city. It's both a transit point for attacks from the consciousness universe and our Heaven's Origin Universe, and it's also a place to keep an eye on the springboard."
"However, there were clearly lights in this city earlier, but they were extinguished all of a sudden. We hadn't done anything back then, right?"
Lu Yin looked at Torch City, "Fourteen Sequence Law experts. There aren't a lot of them, just a little less than I expected. Eight of them surround the springboard, using the same Sequence Law. As for the other six, three are in a corner, and the other three are scattered in three other directions. From the looks of it, something has happened in Torch Fire City. Interesting. It's not so boring anymore."
After twenty years of traveling, Wu Jiang finally arrived at Torch Fire City.
Although twenty years wasn't a long time, traveling in pitch-black darkness for twenty years was very lonely.
Lu Yin's gaze landed on Ba Liu and Yi Yao. It seemed that the people around them were attacking them, and they weren't very strong. The spiritualised universe was finally about to meet.
When Wu Jiang arrived, he naturally took action immediately and took control of Torch Fire City.
With Lu Yin and the others' strength, whether it was their domain, spiritual force, or consciousness, they could instantly take control of Torch Fire City, unless Sang Tian was overseeing it.
But now, it seemed that Sang Tian wasn't in Torch Fire City.
It was normal for Sang Tian to be overseeing Torch Fire City, but it was also normal for there to be no Sang Tian.
The spiritualised universe was aware of Torch Fire City's importance, but it was also dangerous here. If the spiritualised universe's apprehensions were real, and there were unknown civilizations eyeing the springboard, Torch Fire City would be the first to suffer.
Furthermore, there was the war between the spiritualised universe and the consciousness universe, as well as Yu Sang Tian's memories of time reversal, leaving behind the president and other people who had karmic ties to Lu Yin. There was probably no free Sang Tian to oversee Torch Fire City.
Boom!
Wu Jiang shook and landed outside Torch Fire City.
Lu Yin and the others stepped into Torch Fire City. This was their first step into the spiritualised universe.
Ce Wangtian stretched lazily. "It feels good to have one foot in the ground."
The Ancestor of the Past looked in a certain direction, which was the consciousness universe. How long had it been since they returned to the consciousness universe through Torch Fire City?
She had thought that she would die in the Tian Yuan Universe.
Even though lifeforms in the consciousness universe could live for a long time, they were not immortal.
She had never thought that she would one day pass through the Core Space and return to the consciousness universe.
She looked at Lu Yin's back. If she wanted to return, she would need this person to make the decision.
The group split up, with some going to check the springboard while others were curious about Torch Fire City.
More than a hundred black energy users spread out and captured all the spiritualised cultivators who had fainted.
Lu Yin arrived at the city gate where Ba Liu and the others were, with Second Life following behind him.
Second Life's group of five had also followed Wu Jiang.
During the battle at the stone gate in the tributary of the River of Time, Second Life had been on the brink of death several times. Now that time had been reversed, they could not avoid the war with the spiritualised universe and had followed Lu Yin here.
Ba Liu had a splitting headache, and he opened his eyes in a daze. What was going on?
Yi Yao. He suddenly stood up and looked to his side. Yi Yao had collapsed on the ground, but he did not have time to check his surroundings.
He heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Yi Yao had only fainted.
It was only then that he looked around and saw that everyone had collapsed on the ground.
His eyes narrowed as he saw Yi Xia, who had also collapsed on the ground.
Yi Xia was the city lord of Torch Fire City and was an absolute powerhouse. What had happened?
He suddenly turned around and met someone's gaze, his expression dazed.
Lu Yin's lips curled up as he sat there leisurely. Second Life was behind him, and even further behind them was the enormous Wu Jiang, which loomed over Torch Fire City like a colossus.
Torchfire City was huge, and so was the Boundless Expanse. Against this backdrop, Ba Liu looked at Lu Yin and felt the pressure from the Boundless Expanse. She was stunned for a moment, as if she had been struck by something. She couldn't say anything.
Lu Yin smiled leisurely as he sat there. Behind him, Second Life had their own unique characteristics, like a painting from the abyss.
"Please explain this scene," Lu Yin said. His tone was calm, and his expression was casual. Everything was under his control.
In Ba Liu's eyes, the high and mighty city lord of Torch Fire City, someone he had never been able to scheme against, was now lying there like a dead dog. He did not even have the ability to stand in front of this youth. Who was this person?
Was he a god?
Second Bone's gaze turned cold, and pressure descended.
Ba Liu was instantly pressed down, and he coughed up blood.
"Our lord is asking you a question."
Ba Liu's eyes widened. A powerhouse of the Sequence Laws. Could it be that the five people behind this person were all such powerhouses?
No wonder they could control Torch Fire City. Who was this person?
Countless possibilities flashed through Ba Liu's mind. The consciousness universe?
Impossible. He had fought in the consciousness universe for too many years, and such a person would definitely know about it. Spiritualized universes?
Yes, only those hidden ancient families in the spiritualized universes would have such a person.
Those hidden families and sects would only appear when Sang Tian's position was empty. Under Yu Sang Tian's suppression, they would not show themselves. Who knew how strong their foundations were?
These thoughts only lasted for a moment.
Ba Liu did not dare to delay. He half-squatted on the ground and raised his head to look at Lu Yin. "My Lord, this lowly one is called Ba Liu, and the woman beside me is called Yi Yao. We were surrounded and attacked in Torch City. Fortunately, my Lord came to our aid. Otherwise, we would already be dead."
"Thank you, my lord."
Lu Yin smiled, "Why were they surrounded?"
Ba Liu opened his mouth, trying to find a reason, but his heart palpitated inexplicably. He had a feeling that he could not lie to this person. This was a human instinct. This instinct had allowed him to survive in the Universe of Consciousness. Now, this instinct had never been so strong. He could not lie, absolutely not. He would die.

He gritted his teeth: "This lowly one is from the Ten-thousand Beasts Border, Yi Yao, from the Imperial Spirit Mountain."
Lu Yin did not speak and waited for Ba Liu to continue.
Ba Liu did not speak either, waiting for Lu Yin's response.
The people from the Myriad Beasts Border and the God Governing Mountain were together, which violated two taboos. First, the God Governing Mountain could not marry outsiders. They could only marry their own people. This was a rule set by Yu Sang Tian that could not be violated. Second, beast-shaped spiritual molts could not be together with human-shaped spiritual molts. This was a rule of the entire spiritualized universe.
Ba Liu was a cultivator from Ten-thousand Beast Border. Ten-thousand Beast Border, as the name suggests, all of them were in the form of beasts. For example, Meng Sang was in the form of a beast while Yi Yao was in the form of a human. Even though they were both humans before they started their cultivation, but after they transformed into different species, they could not be together. Moreover, Yi Yao came from Divine Dominion Mountain.
This was also the reason why Yi Xia had pursued them. If something like this happened in Torch City, he would be held accountable. Yi Yao's identity involved the God Governing Mountain, which was a taboo of Yu Sang Tian that could not be violated.
