However, this attempt had some results, and Lu Yin could feel that the boat had absorbed a portion of time.
It was fine as long as it was useful. Just now, when the Azure Heaven Palace touched the Long River of Time, it was almost impossible to stop time. But this Long River of Time must have absorbed too much time that was not integrated into it, so it could make the Flowing Light boat absorb time with a casual touch.
Lu Yin released the starry sky in his heart again, and it immediately shrank when it touched the River of Time.
His body swayed, but he could still withstand it for a moment. The boat absorbed time again.
He continued to try, his body swaying from time to time. The Great Master was confused; what was this guy doing?
The Great Master pulled Qing Xing and Dan Xiong onto the boat and endured the scouring of the River of Time.
Around them, the sea of insects was constantly being wiped away. The insects could not withstand the scouring of time, and the sea of insects kept expanding in an attempt to avoid the scouring of the River of Time.
The Time of Avici was also confused, unable to understand what Lu Yin was doing.
The first time it had fought Lu Yin, it had been injured, and the karma and the ninth grid had been powerless. This had made it wary of Lu Yin, and it had become even more wary when it met the Great Master. After all, the Great Master was the ferryman of the River of Time and had the ability to resist the Time of Avici. It had set the Great Master as its main target and neglected Lu Yin.
At this moment, Lu Yin had refreshed its understanding.
Not only did he have a boat that could float in the River of Time, but he was also constantly trying to counterattack.
Yes, in the Time of Avici's eyes, Lu Yin was trying to counterattack. Otherwise, it would not have understood what Lu Yin was doing.
Lu Yin stood on the boat and swayed from time to time, as if he was drunk. He did not do anything else.
It was impossible for him to remain motionless as the River of Time washed over him, but it should not have swayed so much.
Even Qing Xing felt dizzy.
They did not notice that the boat under Lu Yin's feet was slowly growing larger, and its depth in the River of Time was also increasing.
The Time of Avici did not know what to do. No matter what Lu Yin was doing, the twelfth grid seemed to be suppressing them, but it would be difficult for it to retreat. Once the River of Time disappeared, it would be surrounded. It would be even more difficult to kill Lu Yin or the Great Master. Any one of the four had the strength to fight it, and the Great Master and Lu Yin seemed a little strange.
It could not retreat, but it was also difficult to advance.
Originally, it thought that the humans could not hold back and could stretch the battle line, giving it an advantage. Now, it realized that there were only four humans who made a move, and they were here specifically to kill it.
The Great Master and the others weren't much better off.
In this river of time that was constantly being washed away, as long as one left the boat, regardless of whether it was their power or their bodies, they would be washed away by time. They would not be able to get close to the Avici Time. In other words, they could not do anything to the Avici Time, and the Avici Time could not do anything to them.
Both of them froze just like that.
Only when Seamless put away the river of time would they be able to attack each other.
Qing Xing pointed out with his finger, and a stream of qi flew towards Seamless Time. However, it was useless. Not long after he sent it out, it disappeared.
Dan Hou threw out pill techniques, but they were similarly useless. Some fell into the great river of time, unable to produce even the slightest ripple. Some simply disappeared before his eyes, completely gone.
Time could kill everything. Even Eternal Matter was useless. Eternal Matter could only strengthen an attack, but it could not withstand time. Only the universe was eternal.
"Don't waste your energy. This is its river of time. Even I can't do anything about it," the Great Master said.
Qing Xing asked solemnly, "There's no way to get close?"
"Time is too fast, and the force of the erosion is too great."
Dan Hou did not understand. "How does it control the river of time?"
The Great Master gripped the oars tightly. "No one can truly control the river of time, not even an Eternal Realm cultivator. The river of time belongs to the universe, and it just grasped a method to find it before us. It can pour it down at a specific angle in time, creating a force of time erosion."
"It sounds simple, but it's extremely difficult to do. As expected of a strange lifeform."
"What do we do now?" Dan Hou asked.
The Great Master shook her head. "Wait."
"Wait?"
"Wait for it to let go. As long as the erosion of time stops, we can attack. Otherwise, any attack will be useless." She then looked at Lu Yin and frowned. What was this guy doing?
"It won't let go. If I'm not wrong, the other three insect masters are here as well," Dan Hou said.
Of course, the Great Master knew this. Before the battle had started, they had guessed that since the insectoid nest wanted to hide Luo Chan's ability, it would not have allowed the other three insect masters to immediately reinforce it. Otherwise, its ability would have been exposed. Even though they had previously split the sea of insects into four, which was equivalent to exposing its ability, they had not known that they had already been targeted by Master Grass.
Under such circumstances, it was unlikely that they would actively expose Luo Chan's ability.
However, things were different now. As long as they were delayed by the erosion of the river of time, the other three insect masters would have time to reinforce it. Perhaps this would take a long time, but the Time of Avici's erosion of the river of time would not be short either.
Although the twelfth segment of the river of time seemed very powerful, it did not affect the Time of Avici at all. It was not as if the river of time itself was being eroded. It was like a lever that moved the river of time. It was very simple to maintain the momentum of the river of time, and it was also easy to stop it.
The greatest drawback of this technique was that it could not leave, and the area it covered was too small. If not for this drawback, it would have long since used this technique to bury everything.
Now, the Great Master and the others still had a way out, which was to leave the river of time. She could do it by rowing a boat, but they could not approach the Time of Avici because they were going against the current. As long as they followed the current, they would be able to leave the river of time. However, this would also mean that they would be far away from the Time of Avici. They could leave the Time of Avici at any time, which would mean that they had lost this battle.
She had decided to kill the Time of Avici, and she could not accept escaping just like that.
Qing Xing and Dan Hou did not want to leave either, but they had no other choice.
The Great Master was also out of options, as the ferryman of the River of Time was not the master of the river. The ferryman was just a person who ferried people across the river. Countless ferrymen had died in the river, and the ferryman was no exception.
Only Lu Yin knew what exactly he had learned. Karma was no weaker than time, and he was the only one who could break out of this situation.
All eyes fell on Lu Yin once more.
Lu Yin was still swaying, but he did not do it on purpose. Every time the Jade Sky Palace was washed away by the river of time, he could not control it and would not want to be swayed.
This scene was a little provocative to the Time of Avici.
It spoke for the first time. "Human, you're mocking me."
Lu Yin raised a brow. "You can talk?"
In the distance, the Great Master wanted nothing more than to slap Lu Yin to death with a paddle. How could such a lifeform not be able to communicate?
It was just a matter of whether they were willing or not.
Of course, Lu Yin knew that the Time of Avici could communicate, but he found it strange that it would take the initiative to do so.
In a war between civilizations, there was no surrender; there was only destruction.
Humans could not accept the hive civilization, and the hive civilization would not want humans either.
"What are you doing, human?"
Lu Yin swayed again. "Seasick."
The Great Master and the others were speechless.
The Time of Avici's voice was emotionless. "You can't kill me."
"There will be a way," Lu Yin said.
The Time of Avici was silent for a moment. "Are there many powerhouses like you in the human civilization?"
Lu Yin laughed. "Are insects so direct when it comes to information?"
"What I mean is, do you still have any reinforcements?
I have three, and they're on their way. If you don't give up, you'll be surrounded by the four Insect Lords, and you'll only end up dead. "
"Hey, are you threatening us?" the Great Master shouted.
The Time of Avici did not speak.
Lu Yin asked, "Shouldn't you be hoping that we'll be surrounded by the four Insect Lords?
Why are you reminding us? "
"They're here to support me. The other three battlefields lack Insect Lords. Perhaps you're deliberately luring them out to destroy the other three battlefields. If you're abandoned, we'll also lose the other three battlefields. It's not worth it."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. "That's true."
He looked at the Great Master and the others.
The Great Master and the others also looked at him.
The Time of Avici's words were clearly hiding Luo Chan's abilities. Although these insects had some tricks up their sleeves, they were too obvious.
The moment they learned of Luo Chan's abilities, the current human strategy was the most disadvantageous to the hive civilization. The hive civilization did not care why the humans chose this strategy. They did not consider it and only wanted to expand their own advantages.
This seemingly biased strategy had caused both sides to be in a stalemate.
Both sides were leading the battle in a strategic direction that was advantageous to them.
Even now, when the Time of Avici was in a stalemate with Lu Yin and the others, it was doing its best to hide Luo Chan's abilities and reveal the disadvantageous side of the hive civilization. It did not wish for Lu Yin and the others to retreat, but rather for them to follow this plan.
From what it knew, this was the only way for the humans to win. As for Lu Yin and the others, the humans were very smart and would definitely choose to retreat the moment the three Insect Lords approached.
This way, they would not be surrounded by the four Insect Lords and would also be able to shift the positions of the other three Insect Lords and start an all-out battle.
The Time of Avici was waiting for the humans to act smart.
At that moment, the humans would think that they had lured the Insect Lords away and would definitely win. They would definitely attack with all their strength, but when that moment arrived, Luo Chan's abilities would be activated, and the humans would suffer a crushing defeat. That attack would be the beginning of the entire human civilization's defeat.
So what if there were Eternal powerhouses?
All the insects were prepared to sacrifice themselves for the Immortal Master, and the four Insect Lords were no exception.
"Humans, are you still not retreating?
Do you really want to be surrounded and killed by the four Insect Lords? "the Time of Avici asked.
The Great Insect Lord sneered, "Let them come. This Great Insect Lord will destroy all four of you."
Lu Yin said, "We wanted to get rid of the four Insect Lords anyway. It's even better if they come."
The Time of Avici spoke up, "Humans, you underestimate the strength of the four Insect Lords. If you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish."
The Great Insect Lord fell silent, as there was no need to say anything else.
Unless the humans knew about Luo Chan's abilities, they would lose this battle because they thought they were smart.
