Lu Yin suppressed his guesses and stopped looking at Hou.
No matter what Hou was, even if it was Chaos, it only had one identity: an enemy that had to be killed.
However, this enemy was left to Gu Duanke and the others, as the Time of Avici would be troublesome.
Lu Yin had already used Absolute Command on the Time of Avici, but it was useless. In truth, Lu Yin wasn't even sure if this thing was a living thing.
Of the four battlefields in the Ninefirmaments Universe, their side was the quietest. No one had come into contact with each other, and only the Time of Avici faced off against Lu Yin.
Lu Yin used karma, as he wanted to see what the Time of Avici was.
The karma spiral easily pierced through the Time of Avici, so easily that Lu Yin couldn't believe it. The Time of Avici didn't even try to dodge.
However, the karma images left Lu Yin speechless.
The images were of the current battlefield, and nothing else.
Lu Yin unleashed the Karmic Spiral once again, and this time, he did so more than ten times in a row. None of the Karmic Spiral's attacks were dodged, and each time, the images were the same. At most, the angles of the images were different, but it was obvious that they were all of the battlefield.
Lu Yin's face sank. As expected of an expert of the Dao of Time.
Karma allowed one to see the past, and there was a cause for an effect.
However, the Time of Avici had completely frozen its own time at a single point. It could be said that it had extended the current time infinitely, causing the karma images of the past to always be an infinitely extending line. In other words, as long as the Time of Avici was willing, Lu Yin could see anything it wanted to see.
Lu Yin had comprehended karma for many years, and he had encountered all sorts of experts. He had even fought against Eternal Realm creatures, but this was his first time encountering such a method.
This meant that his Dao of Karma had been broken.
Karma was a mighty force, and so was time, space, and even some other forces were all mighty forces. Although karma was somewhat mysterious, it wasn't invincible. Otherwise, the Azure Lotus Guard would have been invincible, and it wouldn't have been hidden in the Ninefirmaments Universe.
Lu Yin knew that he would encounter an existence that could ignore karma one day, but he hadn't expected it to be so soon.
At that moment, the needle on the Time of Avici jumped, and Lu Yin's heart also jumped. Danger had descended, and the chill caused him to immediately dodge. A tearing pain in his heart, and he looked down as his body separated. What was this?
He was not the only one who had formed a line with Lu Yin from Seamless. Lu Yin was the first person on this line, but he would not be the last. This line stretched far and wide, traversing the heavens and tearing apart the bodies of many cultivators.
Countless people were stunned. What was going on?
Before they could think too much about it, their bodies suddenly recovered. They were all at a loss. What had happened?
At the same time, he was able to clearly see the technique that Avici had just used. It was to fix the time of a single line. That line was immutable in time and had existed since time immemorial. Anything that came into contact with that line, regardless of whether it moved or not, would have its time fixed. If it did not move, then it would be stuck at that point. If it moved, then it would be torn apart along with its body.
This was the sharpest sword of time, and even Lu Yin's defenses were unable to avoid it.
No matter how strong his defense was, he wouldn't be able to last long.
The Sword of Time could only be resisted by time.
Lu Yin barked, "Everyone, return to the Nine Firmaments!"
No one could help in this battle. If these people rushed up, they would only be cannon fodder. If they didn't deal with Seamless, this battle would be really difficult to fight.
He had expected Avici to be very difficult to deal with, but he had not expected her to be so fierce. Even he had almost fallen into her trap.
On the other side, Avici's sun and moon alternated, and the light became even brighter. It seemed that it had not expected Lu Yin to be able to reverse the situation and break its attack in one second. The needle throbbed again.
Lu Yin did not hesitate to punch out. His feet moved in reverse, parallel to time, and he approached Avici.
The starry sky suddenly darkened. To the dark and deep starry sky, it was as if a gray curtain had been laid over it. It became brighter, but Lu Yin's heart sank. This was the power of time.
His punch was ineffective again. No matter how strong he was, it was meaningless in the face of time.
Meanwhile, Avici's needle throbbed to the fifth square.
Thud.
There was a soft sound, and an indescribable heaviness descended. Lu Yin felt as if he had been thrown into a space-time vortex. Everything around him was squeezing and crushing him. He immediately used Things Must Move in the Opposite Direction. Behind him, the three Firmament sword intents slashed towards Avici, but they were crushed as soon as they appeared.
The invisible and terrifying power was not physical at all, but it was even more terrifying than a physical body.
Even if Lu Yin used the Eternal Substance to attack, he still wouldn't be able to harm Avici. Avici's control over time was just too terrifying. It could extend time indefinitely, and it could use up any kind of energy.
However, no matter how terrifying its control of time was, it was still not an Eternal Realm.
Lu Yin endured the invisible pressure as he struck out with the Karmic Wheel and threw it towards Avici.
Avici still did not dodge, but it was different this time. When the Karmic Wheel collided with Avici, Avici's sun and moon trembled, and visible cracks appeared. The needle immediately jumped back, moving for the first time to dodge.
The pressure Lu Yin endured suddenly disappeared, and he sneered. Although this thing had been immersed in the Dao of Time for a long time and was far better at controlling time than Lu Yin, causing him to be at a disadvantage for a moment, the power of karma was not inferior to the power of time. As long as one was a creature that wanted to step into the Eternal Realm, they would have to face Bitter Adversity.
And the Karmic Wheel specialized in Bitter Adversity.
"Let's see how much time you have to waste."
Lu Yin raised a hand and slammed down with his palm. Heaven and Earth Lock descended and merged with the Eternal Substance to lock down Avici.
Although Heaven and Earth Lock was a consciousness attack, it was an Eternal battle technique that could lock down all external powers, methods, and even cognition. Time was no exception.
Avici's sun and moon rotated, and formless time was consumed by the Heaven and Earth Lock. Time continued to extend until the Heaven and Earth Lock disappeared.
Lu Yin's consciousness was vast, and he had a lot of Eternal Substance. He wanted to see if Avici could withstand his consciousness and Eternal Substance.
Suddenly, his expression changed as an invisible attack swept past him. He casually waved his hand to shatter the attack.
Tian Hou attacked, and the sea of insects rushed towards Lu Yin, wanting to drown him.
Lu Yin took a step forward and punched out at Tian Hou.
Tian Hou took the punch head-on, and it was so powerful that even Tian Hou was pushed back. However, Tian Hou took the attack head-on, and a formless energy blasted out that swept through the heavens.
Lu Yin raised a brow. Just as Ku Yuan and the others had said, Tian Hou could absorb physical energy and release it as formless energy. Lu Si Zhan, Ku Ji, and the others' attacks had been completely ineffective.
Tian Hou was not bad for being able to withstand his punch. Then, let's do it again.
Lu Yin dodged the formless energy released by Tian Hou and raised a hand. He flicked his finger, causing the void to tremble. As he flicked his finger, the energy was consumed along the way. He turned around and saw that Avici had interfered, causing the sun and moon to rotate even faster.
This guy could block Tian Hou's Worldly Lock while obstructing Lu Yin's attacks.
Lu Yin had to admit that Avici was very powerful, terrifyingly powerful. Among the three universes of the human race, there were very few who could fight against it. Even if it encountered an Eternal Realm expert, it could still take action.
However, it was still lacking if it wanted to block Lu Yin.
Lu Yin might not be able to kill Avici, as it was too strange. However, no one could stop him from killing Tian Hou.
He did not need to go backwards, and he simply walked towards Tian Hou. He faced an endless sea of insects, and he wiped them all out with a wave of his hand.
Danger descended, and Avici's needle fell a bit. However, before it could land, Lu Yin moved away from his original position and avoided that line. What happened next shocked Lu Yin: that line could move!
It swept through the heavens and even affected the sea of insects, tearing apart countless of them.
That line was a line of time that could not be seen with the naked eye. Avici's control over time was too strong, and Lu Yin had no choice but to travel through the stream of light and use it to collide with the line of time.
The stream of light was not weak. Although Lu Yin's understanding of the Dao of Time was far inferior to Avici's, the stream of light had absorbed a large amount of time from the River of Time and could suppress time itself. It could even cross the River of Time, let alone a line of time.
The line of time was like a sharp blade that constantly slashed at Lu Yin, but it was blocked by the stream of light.
Lu Yin walked towards Tian Hou.
The sea of insects no longer attacked Lu Yin, but Tian Hou instead.
Tsing Yi, Shouwu, Stone Dragon, and so on. All of the attacks landed on the shell on Tian Hou's back, as well as some insects that Lu Yin had never seen before.
These insects continued to reproduce and evolve, and there were so many different species that even an Immortal Master might not be able to recognize all of them.
Some of these insects were extremely powerful, and their attacks caused Tian Hou's body to vibrate.
Tian Hou continuously absorbed the physical attacks as it stared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin walked closer, but Tian Hou did not retreat. Instead, he walked forward and stared at each other.
When they were less than ten thousand meters away, Lu Yin stopped and raised a hand. His fingers curled, and power spread through them. The void distorted along the way as if his hand was enlarging and moving towards Tian Hou.
Avici continuously shot out lines of time, but it was difficult to disturb Lu Yin.
In the spiritualized universe and Ninefirmaments Universe, countless people watched as a giant hand reached out towards the distance.
Ni ordered her subordinates to retreat, and at the same time, she blasted out a huge formless force that drowned out the sky and blasted towards the giant hand.
Lu Sizhan and the others looked at the distant sky. They understood Tian Hou all too well. From the first time they had met it until now, they had tried to avoid it. They had tried their best to destroy this creature, but they had been forced to retreat.
They had a deep understanding of Tian Hou's defenses.
It could be said that Tian Hou had left them defenseless.
They did not know how far Lu Yin could go. After all, there was not only Tian Hou, but also Avici.
They also knew about the four Insect Masters.
They had also seen Avici's attack. That strange and terrifying power of time was horrifying. Perhaps no one else in Ninefirmaments Universe could truly contend with it aside from Lu Yin and the Eternal Ruler.
After all, the power of time could not be seen or touched, and the slightest carelessness could cause one to fall prey to it. Lu Yin had not only comprehended karma, but he had also grasped the power of time.
Compared to the other three battlefields, this one was quiet, but it was also the most dangerous.
The incomparably huge palm continued to extend, tearing through the void as it collided with Tian Hou's formless power.
The sky distorted and then broke apart. Countless black cracks spread out, and the sea of insects was torn apart.
In the distance, the cultivators of Ninefirmaments Universe were shocked. Fortunately, Lu Yin had told them to retreat, or else the shockwaves would have buried too many people.
