On the street, a group of people lined up and walked slowly under the whip of a cultivator.
They didn't look much different from ordinary people, but they had four ears, sharp teeth, long legs, and gray skin. They looked gloomy and dull, as if they had no intelligence at all.
With a crack, the whip landed on someone's back. "Raise your head. If I don't sell you off today, I'll make you wish you were dead."
The person who was slapped trembled and tried his best to raise his head. He looked around and tried his best to smile. He even purposely bared his teeth. It was not a threat, but to let the people around him see his unique physique. Teeth were one of their uses.
This scene caused Lu Yin's eyes to narrow. Did Xi mean slave?
Outer Universes.
Through his conversation with Si Jiushi, Lu Yin learned that the Ninth Firmament Universe was divided into two camps, including the Defense of Gods, Death Hill, the Spring and Autumn Scroll, and the Nine Foot Garden.
One was Yu Jiuxiao, and the other was Zhou Tianxia.
Yu Jiuxiao referred to the nine sky-piercing pillars that surrounded the Ninth Firmament Universe. These pillars supported and protected the Ninth Firmament Universe, and they also served as a means of transportation for the Ninth Firmament Universe's expeditions into outer universes. Many powerful cultivators gathered at each pillar, and once they discovered an outer universe, the pillars would attack, starting a war.
Zhou Tianxia referred to the internal powers of the Ninth Firmament Universe, such as the Luo family, the Nine Foot Garden, and the Spring and Autumn Scroll.
Yu Jiuxiao and Zhou Tianxia didn't interfere with each other.
Yu Jiuxiao wasn't the name of a power; it was a cultivation army that belonged to the Ninth Firmament Universe. Cultivators could be unaffiliated or from various powers, but there was no division of power on the Nine Foot Pillars. They all followed the orders of the Nine Foot Pillars.
It seemed that Yu Jiuxiao and Zhou Tianxia didn't interfere with each other, but their struggles weren't something that ordinary people knew about.
Lu Yin hadn't come into contact with any of this.
What he knew was that there were indeed outer universes outside the Ninth Firmament Universe and the three universes. Up until now, the Nine Foot Pillar had been sent out. Although it didn't mean that only one pillar had appeared each time, at least he knew that there were at least five outer universes that had been destroyed.
It seemed like a lot, more than the three universes, but it had been discovered over countless years in the Ninth Firmament Universe. There were definitely outer universes, but they were very difficult to find.
These Xi came from the outer universe where the Pillar of the Nine Firmaments was destroyed.
"Seventh Brother, do you think it's too cruel?"
Si Jiushi asked as he stared at Lu Yin. He was certain that Lu Yin did not belong to the Ninefirmaments Universe, but he did not know where he had come from. It would be fine if he had come from one of the three universes, but if he had come from some unknown universe, then that would be a huge problem.
But he didn't think so. After all, he knew Chao Yi. People from Death Hill weren't afraid of death. If that person was a threat to the Continent of the Nine Clouds, Chao Yi would kill him, or Chao Yi would kill him. There was no third option.
Lu Yin replied indifferently, "There's nothing cruel about it. Every species fights, and life and death are up to fate."
Nodding his head, Si Jiushi picked up a beast leg and took a bite out of it. "Don't be fooled by how submissive those people are. Back then, during the Night Pillar's expedition, countless cultivators died at their hands. Do you know how miserable the first batch of cultivators who fell into their hands were?"
"I'm afraid you won't be able to eat if I tell you. Let's put it this way. They once boasted about a weapon that was very suitable for them. The main material of that weapon was …" After a pause, his gaze turned cold. "Tendons."
Lu Yin looked at Si Jiushi.
Si Jiushi glanced down coldly. "Human tendons."
"Tendons are the main material, and they've equipped countless people before.
Their flesh and bones are said to have formed mountains in their universe, and seas of blood filled the sky. "
"Yes, we did invade their universe, but so what? The universe is like this: natural selection. If they had the ability, the Continent of the Nine Clouds would have ceased to exist a long time ago. There's no need to sympathize with them."
Lu Yin looked down again. Sympathize with them?
They weren't in the wrong; they were protecting their own universe. Was the Continent of the Nine Clouds wrong?
They weren't wrong; they were wrong because they were too weak.
Lu Yin didn't hate the spiritualized universe or the Continent of the Nine Clouds. Even if the Tian Yuan Universe had been reactivated, he didn't hate them. He only hated his own incompetence.
One should never count on their enemies to be merciful. All they could do was improve themselves. Right and wrong would never appear on the battlefield.
Lu Yin realized that he had forgotten about his hatred. Nothing in the world would appear for no reason. Others could destroy him, and he could destroy others. Hatred was meaningless.
"My Lord, here are your dishes," the waiter said respectfully as he walked over.
Si Jiushi nodded and picked at his teeth while looking down the street. That group of people had left, and another group had arrived. However, they weren't the Xi, but rather strange creatures. There were even astral beasts that pulled their carriages. They weren't weak and could travel through the void, but they didn't have much intelligence.
Suddenly, the waiter waved his hand at Lu Yin, a thin blade in his hand flickering with a cold, dark green light. It was obvious at a glance that it was highly toxic.
Someone who dared to appear after seeing the Great Five Palms on the mountain range was definitely not an ordinary person.
The blade streaked across the waiter's hand, cutting through the void and spreading darkness that contained a few stray particles.
Si Jiushi couldn't react at all, and he could only watch as the blade streaked across Lu Yin's neck.
He was dumbfounded. Was he dead?
No way, it didn't look like it.
The blade streaked past, and Lu Yin's figure slowly dissipated. The waiter's expression changed, and he ran out of the restaurant without looking back. A hand landed on his shoulder, crushing the stray particles and forcing him to the ground. When he looked up, he saw that Lu Yin was still sitting there calmly, as if he hadn't moved at all.
However, he had clearly dodged the attack just then.
"There's more!"
Si Jiushi shouted as he retreated. He didn't want to get involved, as Lu Yin was the one who wanted to fish. Sure enough, the fish had come, but they were all big fish.
Behind Lu Yin, below him, and above him, enemies appeared from all directions. They were all Sequence realm experts, and those who weren't at that level did not have the right to attack him. There was also a pair of eyes watching from the shadows. The owner of the eyes didn't attack, but they stared fixedly at Lu Yin. This person was a Primordial Realm expert.
From the Tian Yuan Universe to the spiritualized universe, and then to the current Ninefirmaments Universe, there were more and more powerhouses. This wasn't just a matter of how long the cultivation civilizations had been passed down, but also the difference in the number of cultivators and the size of the regions.
If the Tian Yuan Universe had one cultivator, then the spiritualized universe had two, and the Ninefirmaments Universe had at least five. The difference wasn't even on the same level.
As a result, a single attack on a restaurant had involved a Primordial Realm expert.
Lu Yin looked up and took a step forward, disappearing only to reappear in the air. He pressed down with a single palm, instantly sending out four palm strikes. Three of them landed on the restaurant, while the last one hit the shadows.
The restaurant shattered, and the three Sequence realm experts who had attacked Lu Yin were directly smashed into the ground.
In the shadows, an old man attacked. He struck out with a finger, and his battle intent surged. It was very strange. Originally, he thought that he could block the palm strike, but he knew that he was in trouble the moment they collided. The finger strike had been destroyed, and the palm strike had broken his arm, crushing him into the ground.
The old man was a Primordial Realm expert. He endured his heavy injuries and fled, but before he could even take a single step, Lu Yin appeared before him.
The old man stared at Lu Yin blankly, filled with regret. No, he wasn't a Sequence realm expert, nor was he a Primordial Realm expert. This person was clearly a Tribulation Transcendence expert.
How could he be so young? Had he undergone spiritual cultivation?
The Gate of the Five Palm Masters was known throughout the Nine Firmaments, so it wasn't strange for one to undergo spiritual cultivation.
"I'm here."
With a thump, Lu Yin kicked the old man into the ruins of the restaurant.
Because of this battle, everyone in the surroundings retreated. They were all cultivators, so they moved very quickly.
Things like this happened frequently in cities, so there was naturally a city lord here. However, that depended on whether the city lord could handle it or not.
Clearly, the city lord could not handle this battle.
Four Sequence realm experts and a Primordial Realm expert had appeared. The city lord himself was only a Sequence realm expert, so he would not even show himself. After all, Lu Yin was just too unfathomable, and no one was willing to hand their lives over to someone else.
Stepping on the ruins of the restaurant, the waiters and the owner of the restaurant trembled uneasily. They looked at the ruins of the restaurant, speechless.
Si Jiushi walked over. "Seventh Bro, are you alright?"
Lu Yin glanced at him. "Compensate me."
Si Jiushi was stunned. "Me?"
"Me?"
"I don't have any money."
"Do you think I have money?"
Si Jiushi thought about it and then began to rummage through his cosmic ring. He guessed that Lu Yin was from another universe, so it was very likely that he had no money.
A restaurant did not cost much, so he was just sullen. He was not the one who had attacked the restaurant, so why should he compensate?
Lu Yin looked at the attackers. A karmic spiral appeared at his fingertip, and with a wave of his hand, it pierced through them. Karmic Terminus: Scab.
The Karmic World's landmarks that the Azure Lotus Emperor had given him were quite useful. Through these attackers, Lu Yin learned the whereabouts of three scabs.
One of them was on Loneswan Island. It was the first person to attack. He was from Loneswan Island.
The other was on the young man who had followed the Primordial Realm expert, who had a scab.
There were five attackers. Two had the scabs' whereabouts, one did not, and the other two had nothing to do with the scabs. This was because Lu Yin's karmic terminus was the scab, so he could not see anything. This was interesting.
He had purposely exposed the scabs and waited for people to come looking for trouble. If it was not because of the scabs, then was it because of the Five Palm Gates?
When he thought of this, he immediately used the Five Palm Gates' karmic terminus to see karma. He then sent out karmic threads that collided with each other.
Within the ruined restaurant, there was endless chatter all around. As for Lu Yin, he stared at the two Sequence Laws powerhouses lying on the ground in a daze.
Indeed, in the eyes of Si Jiushi and the others, he was in a daze.
No one knew what he was looking at.
Si Jiushi glanced at the two several times. What was he looking at?
Had he lost his mind?
However, he did not dare to disturb Lu Yin.
Lu Yin had dealt with so many experts in just a few moves. They were at least in the Primordial Realm, and he had even used the Five Palm Gates. The Five Palm Gates was becoming more and more troublesome.
Not long after, Lu Yin exhaled and looked at Si Jiushi with a strange expression.
Si Jiushi asked nervously, "What's wrong?
Seventh Bro? "
Lu Yin looked away. "Prepare to set off. No one else will attack."
