Lu Yin wasn't in a hurry to attack. He pointed at his feet and asked, "Do you know what this is?"
Lan Ye looked at the bamboo and his eyes flashed. "Yes, it's the Spring and Autumn Slip."
Lu Yin pointed at Qian Shu. "Do you know him?"
Lan Ye glanced at him. "The Spring and Autumn Slip, Qian Shu's genius."
Lu Yin nodded. "He offended me, so I destroyed the Spring and Autumn Slip. Since it's still useful, I spared his life. What about you?"
"Now that you've offended me, I hope you have value in sparing your life."
Lan Ye spat out dark green smoke. It wasn't smoke, but miasma. The miasma rushed at Lu Yin like a living dragon, instantly covering the sky.
From below, the entire sky had been replaced by a dark green color, and the world had changed.
Grand Sovereign Lan Ye's miasma filled the area. This miasma couldn't seal Lu Yin's power, but it could help him know in advance where the power was coming from and the range of its effects. The next moment, he took a step forward and looked down from above. A majestic amount of Sequence Particles shot out and fell down. At the same time, the Spiritual Soul Shock Gate appeared from another direction, and Lan Ye used Nine Heavens Change to flash to the last direction.
Four different directions surrounded by four different powers. How could this person break through?
Qian Shu's expression changed. The miasma gave him a sense of crisis. It was the miasma of a perfected Bitter Disaster Realm powerhouse and could corrode them. There were also attacks coming from the other directions. The Sequence Laws above his head were boundless, the Shock Gate at the side was difficult to shake, and the murderous intent behind him was even stronger.
Lan Ye's strength was worthy of standing at the top of the Eastern Region. Qian Shu knew that he could only fight against this person with his physique. This person couldn't defeat him, but he also didn't have a way to defeat him.
Lu Yin stood there casually and attacked from all directions. Whether it was the Sequence Particles or the Nine Heavens Change, Lan Ye was close to Yu Sang Tian. The miasma was like Yue Ya's trump card.
But so what?
It was just a fleeting cloud.
This person's strength was still not at Yu Sang Tian's or Yue Ya's level. He was only comparable to the Old Chief and Wuhuang, who had used the Nine Heavens Change.
The attacks from all directions seemed impossible to escape, but did he need to escape?
Around the Spring and Autumn Scroll, chains of consciousness shot up into the sky, locking down heaven and earth, peeling off from all directions.
Miasma, Sequence Rules, Gate of Wonder, and even Supreme Venerable Lan Ye's combat skills with the Change of the Ninth Heaven were all blocked by the World Lock. He couldn't believe it.
How could he be so strong?
Supreme Venerable Lan Ye didn't believe it and kept attacking. But no matter what he did, he couldn't break the Heaven and Earth Lock.
The Heaven and Earth Lock could seal an enemy's movements, thoughts, consciousness, and even their knowledge of the outside world. A complete version of the Heaven and Earth Lock could strip away everything in all directions. It could also be used with the Eternal Substance to temporarily trap an Eternal Realm lifeform. Even if Lu Yin didn't use the Eternal Substance, the Heaven and Earth Lock wasn't something that Grand Monarch Lan Ye could break.
This was a real Eternal Life Realm combat skill.
Lu Yin slowly turned his head and looked in Grand Monarch Lan Ye's direction. "Have you thought about it? What's worth keeping you alive?"
Supreme Venerable Lan Ye's pupils shrank. He raised his hand and changed his fingertips. "Orchid Leaf Finger."
The Orchid Leaf Finger drew an orchid leaf. As the miasma at the tip of the finger changed, it was as if the universe was being born, vivid and lifelike. When the finger pointed out, it was as if a part of the universe was pressing down.
At this moment, Qian Shu's scalp went numb. Looking at Grand Monarch Lan Ye's finger, he felt a sense of crisis. This move?
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes. This was the move.
Previously, Grand Monarch Lan Ye had used this move to break the circle of his third finger. This move was similar to the starry sky in his heart. It was like a simplified version of the starry sky in his heart.
The reason why Lu Yin allowed Grand Monarch Lan Ye to attack was to see this move.
This was the first time he had seen the shadow of the starry sky in his heart on someone else.
Progenitors had ancestral worlds that could contain living beings. However, the ancestral worlds were different from the starry sky in Lu Yin's heart. One was the manifestation of one's own strength, while the other was all-encompassing and had existed since ancient times.
The starry sky in his heart was a part of the universe that could be born. Although Lu Yin didn't know how to completely transform this part of the universe, this part of the universe already had the embryonic form of a normal universe, such as stars, weather, and even karma.
Grand Monarch Lan Ye's finger used the miasma to simulate the Orchid Universe. The Orchid Universe was originally filled with miasma, and Grand Monarch Lan Ye had followed the Seventh Night Pillar to station in the Orchid Universe. He had traveled the entire universe and comprehended this finger as a trump card, but he hadn't expected to use it against his first enemy as soon as he returned to Ninefirmaments Universe.
Previously, Grand Monarch Lan Ye's finger had still been able to break the circle of Lu Yin's strength. Now, he felt that he could break this consciousness as well.
The Orchid Leaf Finger caused the starry sky to change as it struck the Worldlock.
It was ineffective.
Grand Monarch Lan Ye's pupils shrank. Impossible! The miasma in his body surged out crazily and condensed at his fingertip, causing the universe to change even more clearly. The starry sky couldn't withstand it and began to collapse.
Countless gazes stared at the finger in pain.
Qian Shu stared at the finger. What kind of power was that?
Even the void couldn't withstand it.
This wasn't tearing the void apart, but rather the entire void being unable to withstand it. It was as if a new world was being torn apart.
The Orchid Leaf Finger struck the Worldlock once more.
It was ineffective.
Grand Monarch Lan Ye stared blankly at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked at him with a faint smile. The Orchid Leaf Finger simulated the Orchid Universe and used the miasma as the core. It could indeed simulate a simplified version of the Orchid Universe. This was only possible because Grand Monarch Lan Ye had reached the peak of Ku Adversity. If it had been any weaker, it wouldn't have been possible no matter how much miasma there was.
However, the Orchid Leaf Finger simulated the universe, while the Worldlock could strip the world.
It was a completely different concept.
Lu Yin's consciousness was also terrifying beyond Grand Monarch Lan Ye's imagination.
If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to see the Orchid Leaf Finger again, Lu Yin's Absolute Command would have prevented Grand Monarch Lan Ye from even attacking.
"Have you had enough fun?" Lu Yin asked, his voice mocking.
However, in Grand Monarch Lan Ye's ears, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Have fun?
In this person's eyes, his attack was just for fun?
Grand Monarch Lan Ye's feelings were indescribable. He had already done his best, but this person hadn't even done anything.
Was the difference that great?
Grand Monarch Lan Ye had deduced well. He had used the attacks from all directions to force this person's power out of direction, and then used the Gate of Wonder to block and the Orchid Leaf Finger to launch a sneak attack. This set of attacks should have been enough to win. However, he had never dreamed that the result of his deduction wouldn't even be able to achieve the first step.
At this moment, he didn't even feel humiliated. It was as if he was facing the Eternal Ruler for the first time. The powerlessness and reverence that came from the bottom of his heart gushed out at this moment. However, this person was clearly not the Eternal Ruler.
Yes, it was precisely because he had seen the Eternal Ruler after the seventh Night Pillar returned to the Nine Clouds Universe that he was determined to be the candidate who would definitely experience the rebirth of the Lan Universe. Thus, he had some confidence in stepping into the Eternal Realm. Therefore, he didn't put anyone in his eyes.
No matter who the Night Chief was, who the Eternal Ruler was, who the Eternal Ruler was, or who the other powerhouses at the peak of the Bitter Adversity Realm were, none of them could compare to him.
He had the greatest advantage in the rebirth of the Lan Universe, and he was also the most likely to step into the Eternal Realm and become the fourth Eternal Realm powerhouse of the Nine Clouds Universe. Therefore, he couldn't bear to see Lu Yin provoking the Nine Clouds Universe and looking down on the Tian Yuan Universe. As an Eternal Realm powerhouse of the Nine Clouds Universe, he wanted to teach this person a lesson.
But now, a basin of cold water was poured over him from head to toe, and he was completely awake.
He wasn't an Eternal Realm powerhouse, and neither was this person, but how was he different from an Eternal Realm powerhouse?
Right, this person had just broken through to the Primordial Realm.
Lan Ye stared blankly at Lu Yin. That question, "Have you played enough?"
Made him collapse mentally.
Qian Shu felt even more sympathy for him. Sure enough, the result was just as he had expected. Although Lan Ye's strength was beyond his expectations, no one could see Lu Yin's bottom line.
The miasma slowly dissipated, and the sky returned to normal.
From the beginning to the end, Lu Yin had only used his consciousness, and Lan Ye was powerless.
The hearts of those who understood this scene sank to the bottom. Lan Ye was already very strong, very strong, but even he was like this. Apart from the Eternal Ruler, who else in the Nine Clouds Universe could be Lu Yin's opponent?
Was he the fourth person in the Nine Clouds Universe?
"I'm asking you, have you played enough?" Lu Yin's voice rang out again.
Lan Ye stared blankly at him. Not only was his voice hoarse, but it was also bitter. "Are you really a Primordial Realm powerhouse?"
Lu Yin smiled faintly. "Is this question meaningful?"
Lan Ye stared blankly at Lu Yin. Yes, was it meaningful?
So what if he was a Primordial Realm powerhouse?
So what if he crossed Bitter Adversity?
Even if this person was just a Progenitor, so what?
Lan Ye didn't even have the qualifications to attack.
In the entire Nine Clouds Universe, apart from the Eternal Ruler, no one else could be this person's opponent.
"Alright, now tell me, what is the value of sparing your life?" Lu Yin spoke slowly. His voice was calm, but it made Lan Ye's heart turn cold.
Qian Shu looked at Lan Ye. He was a powerhouse at the peak of Bitter Adversity, but now he was being slaughtered. How pitiful.
He knew that Lan Ye wasn't cultivating with a spirit seed, but so what if he had a spirit seed?
Once Lu Yin crushed his spirit seed, Lan Ye would be completely useless. It would be more painful than death.
Speaking of which, cultivators in the Nine Clouds Universe had two lives. In reality, once they lost their cultivation, there was no value in living.
Right, Qian Shu was also at the peak of Bitter Adversity, so he was just as pitiful.
Thinking of this, Qian Shu stopped looking and continued carving. He had the possibility of freedom as long as Lu Yin's request was met.
Lan Ye didn't know what to say. Although he had accumulated some savings over the years, how could they compare to the Spring and Autumn Simple?
"Perhaps you can try to escape and see if you can," Lu Yin said.
Lan Ye looked at Lu Yin. "What do you want?"
"What can you give me?"
Lan Ye shook his head. "I don't know."
Lu Yin frowned. "It seems that you're certain that I won't kill you, so you came looking for trouble with me?"
Lan Ye was helpless. Of course not. He had come looking for trouble because he was certain that he wouldn't lose. Who knew that he would lose so miserably?
"If you come looking for trouble with me, you can either die or buy your life. There's no third option. Otherwise, anyone can come looking for trouble with me in the future." Lu Yin released the Heavenly Dao of Karma, causing the General Appointment Platform to appear. "Go in."
Lan Ye looked at the General Appointment Platform in confusion. "This is?"
"A small price." Lu Yin didn't attack, as he didn't need to.
