Before the Above Sky Sect, Yu Sang Tian had been invincible. He had swept through many powerhouses of the Tian Yuan Universe and forced Lu Yin to reverse time. At that moment, Lu Yin had felt despair. He had also experienced Yu Sang Tian's absolute power, but it wasn't enough compared to what he had experienced in the consciousness universe.
In addition to the power Yu Sang Tian had used, Yu Sang Tian had also used another terrifying power during the battle in the universe of consciousness — the deified sequence.
In the spiritualized universe, Lu Yin had only seen the old salamander and Mie Wuhuang cultivate a deified sequence. Mister Li's power was similar to a deified sequence's, but it wasn't a complete deified sequence.
A deified sequence was a cultivator who had lived for many years and continuously cultivated the sequence. This was the accumulation of time. If the old salamander and Mie Wuhuang could do it, then any powerhouse who had lived for a similar amount of time should be able to do it. It wasn't strange that Yu Sang Tian could do it.
What truly shocked Lu Yin was Yu Sang Tian's deified sequence.
It was so powerful that it overturned his understanding of sequence techniques.
The old salamander's sequence could seal an enemy's power, and Mie Wuhuang's could form the World's Edge Mirror to allow him to escape. Yu Sang Tian's sequence was Eternity.
What did Eternity mean?
Wherever a thought reached, it would never change. That was Eternity.
In Wu Wei's memories, Yu Sang Tian, as a deified echelon cultivator, had killed two of the thirteen celestial phenomena. In that battle, five of the thirteen celestial phenomena had surrounded him, but he had defeated them all. The deified echelon cultivators he had used was unstoppable.
At that moment, Yu Sang Tian had been truly invincible.
He had given Wu Wei the feeling that even if the 13 Celestial Phenomenon powerhouses worked together, they would still be killed.
He had planted a mark of fear in Wu Wei's heart and made the spiritualized universe unable to resist Yu Sang Tian.
Although the Seven Major Sang Tian hadn't seen the entire process, the result of this battle was enough to prevent them from facing Yu Sang Tian for countless years. They could only run and hide. Before this Yu Sang Tian, the Seven Major Sang Tian hadn't been so obedient. That was why the previous Yu Sang Tian had used the name of Supreme Extreme to help them rule the spiritualized universe.
In Yu Shan's words, Supreme Extreme was a lie. The previous Yu Sang Tian had been afraid that he wouldn't be able to control the spiritualized universe, so he had made it up. But this Yu Sang Tian didn't need to lie. He himself was invincible.
Lu Yin had witnessed this invincibility.
Yu Sang Tianyuan didn't use his true strength to deal with the Tian Yuan Cosmos, because the battle strength he used was already enough.
At the same time, Lu Yin also thought of other aspects, such as innate gifts. Many people in the Tian Yuan Universe had innate gifts, and the spiritualized universe was the same. However, because of Spirit Molt's innate gift and weapons, some innate gifts were concealed.
Some cultivators had more than one Spirit Molting Innate Skill, they themselves had innate skills.
Since Yu Sang Tian was such a talented person, Lu Yin would rather believe that Yu Sang Tian had some sort of innate gift.
For example, Turbid Treasures.
Turbid Treasures were the most dreadful. No one knew what the Turbid Treasures were for. Did Yu Sang Heaven have any Turbid Treasures?
There was no need to even think about it. There was definitely one, and there might not even be one.
Wu Wei's memories pressured Lu Yin greatly, allowing him to see Yu Sang Tian clearly for the first time.
The entire spiritualized universe wanted to see through him, and he wanted to see through Yu Sang Tian as well.
The Azure Sword. He wanted to see the Azure Sword.
…
A few days passed quickly, and the Fu River Source attracted countless cultivators. Under the warning of some people, the cultivators all retreated far away.
Because no matter how much he wanted to see this battle clearly, it was still too late.
There was a clear distinction between a beast-shaped spirit molt and a human-shaped spirit molt.
Wu Jiang's people stood not too far away from the human-shaped spirit molt, but Wu Jiang himself did not appear.
This battle could be considered the pinnacle of Yu Sang Tian's battle, and it had attracted many powerhouses. Among them, there were quite a few decaying auras. It was obvious that some old fellows who were nearing the end of their lifespans wanted to watch as well. If they could comprehend something from the battle and make a breakthrough, they might be able to extend their lives.
The entire spiritualized universe fell silent.
It was said that the battle would take place half a year after the Day of Spirit Sacrifice, but Wu Huang and Lu Yin had not confirmed the exact date, so everyone still had to wait.
The Fu River was a Astral River that traversed several domains. Its source was not in the thirty-six filaments, but rather on a barren land outside of the thirty-six filaments. This land was uninhabited by humans, and its environment was not suitable for living creatures to live in. Thus, it had not been brought into the thirty-six filaments.
This was the place where two Sang Tian had fought to the death. One of them had been the master of that generation's beast-shaped spirit molt. He had been defeated and died here, causing this place to become a place of shame for all beast-shaped spirit molts.
Wu Huang had chosen this place to fight with Lu Yin in order to wash away this shame.
If he lost as well, then the spirit molt would no longer have any face.
Choosing this place also represented Wu Huang's determination to win to a certain extent.
No matter how many cultivators there were, they would not disturb the tranquility of the Fu River's source, so they all left the barren land.
Everyone waited for a few days or even a dozen days. Everyone was very quiet, as they knew that they would not miss this battle.
Finally, on this day, a figure crossed the void and landed on the barren land, causing an uproar among the cultivators who were watching.
"It's the Third Master."
"He's here. Wu Huang will be here soon."
"I thought that Wu Huang would arrive first, but it was Lu Sang Tian who came first."
"Yeah, this Third Master is lawless and overbearing. I can't believe he's here first."
"Everyone, don't forget that Wu Huang is just as overbearing as the Third Master."
This reminded the crowd that before Wu Jiang had come to the spiritualized universe, the most overbearing person had been Wu Huang.
Compared to Yu Sang Tian, who ruled over the spiritualized universe, Emperor Wuhuang was simply brutal and unreasonable. However, because Wu Jiang had repeatedly violated the rules and even provoked Yu Sang Tian by declaring that he would carve his name into the Supreme Palace, Emperor Wuhuang had been suppressed. This gave others the misconception that Lu Yin was even more tyrannical than Emperor Wuhuang.
Neither of them was easy to talk to.
Lu Yin landed on the barren land and looked around. No wonder no one lived here.
Old Tao had mentioned the Fu River's source before, and this was a place of shame for beast-shaped spirit molts. Since Wu Huang had chosen this place, it meant that he was confident in winning, so Lu Yin had to be careful.
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back. His battle with Wu Huang would coincide with the rankings of the two universes' powerhouses outside of the Eternal Realm.
Excluding Master Green Grass, the spiritualized universe's strongest powerhouse was Yu Sang Tian, and Wu Huang should be ranked below him.
In the Tian Yuan Universe, the strongest powerhouse was actually the only True God or Primogenitor, and Lu Yin was second only to them.
The spiritualized universe was far stronger than the Tian Yuan Universe, but there were too many uncertainties in the Tian Yuan Universe. If Lu Yin's existence was placed in the spiritualized universe, it would be almost impossible to replicate. This was because the unified cultivation model was too clear, and no cultivator would try to walk the same path as someone else.
Should fish live in clear rivers or in muddy ones?
Clear rivers.
Rivers had a good environment, but they were easily seen. Muddy rivers had a bad environment, but no one dared to enter them.
Lu Yin looked at the Fu River and saw that everything was clear.
On one side of the Fu River's source, many cultivators felt their hearts tighten when Lu Yin looked over. They felt as if they were being watched, as if their entire being was being seen through.
Some cultivators immediately retreated. They were all old fellows, and they did not want to be seen by Lu Yin. The higher their cultivation, the more they felt as if a disaster was about to befall them.
Lu Yin looked to the other side and saw a few old fellows retreating as well.
The old salamander sighed. "How overbearing, Lu Sang Tian."
Lu Yin's gaze landed on the old salamander. "You still dare to appear?"
The old salamander smiled bitterly. "Lu Sang Tian, I have no intention of being your enemy."
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. "You used me to deal with Wu Huang and killed my people. Old man, do you think I will let you go?"
The old salamander sighed. "I am willing to use my secret in exchange for Lu Sang Tian's magnanimity."
"I will dig it out myself." Lu Yin's figure suddenly disappeared after he finished speaking.
The old salamander's expression changed and he was about to retreat, but Lu Yin suddenly stopped and reappeared on the barren land. In that instant, he felt the divine power.
The old salamander had submitted to the One True God.
Lu Yin could ignore the old salamander, but he could not ignore the One True God.
This old man was definitely not Hun Ji. Otherwise, he would not have submitted to the One True God. But his image?
The starry sky exploded, and a palm pierced through the void and grabbed at the old salamander.
The old salamander was helpless. "I can't even watch you fight. There is no need to chase after me." He then left with Meng Sang Tian.
The starry sky shook.
Wu Huang walked out with a gloomy expression. He would definitely catch this old man.
Seeing Wu Huang appear, all the beast-shaped spiritual molts were excited. "Greetings, Wu Huang."
"Greetings, Wu Huang."
"Greetings …"
Their voices caused the Fuhe River to boil and the universe to sway.
The humans were suppressed at this moment. The moment Wu Huang appeared, his domineering and invincible aura swept through the starry sky, suffocating everyone, regardless of whether they were experts or ordinary cultivators.
In the battle at the source of the Fuhe River, the two top experts could not underestimate each other.
However, both wanted to capture the old salamander at the same time. One had to know that Meng Sang Tian was standing beside the old salamander. How much did they not care about this battle?
They were not underestimating the old salamander and Meng Sang Tian. They were full of confidence for this battle.
Everyone focused and did not even dare to breathe loudly. Some even swallowed their saliva and sweat as they looked at Wu Huang. The battle was finally about to begin.
Wu Huang stood on the source of the Fuhe River and glanced at all the beast-shaped spiritual molts. Finally, he looked at the barren land. He took a step forward and descended, standing opposite Lu Yin.
At this moment, the cultivators of the 10,000 Beasts Border recalled the recent battle.
Everyone who had watched the battle at the 10,000 Beasts Border suppressed their excitement. That battle had been very sullen. Although the Star Toad, the Desolate God, and the old salamander had all displayed their peak power, Wu Huang's true strength had not been revealed. At least, the foundation of the sequence had not been revealed. Wu Huang had been preserving his strength.
It had seemed like an exciting battle, but half of it had been revealed. The other half had been hidden, and now, it had finally revealed itself.
No one spoke as they all looked at the barren land. The battle was about to begin.
