In the parallel space, the Forgotten Ruins God's expression changed. The red sword in his hand flew out and pierced through the void, entering the Primordial Space and stabbing towards Lu Yin.
Found him.
Lu Yin saw the red sword stabbing towards him from the void and reached out to grab it.
The sword slashed horizontally, but Lu Yin's arm was wrapped in vitality. His fingertips brushed aside the sword's edge and grabbed the hilt.
The sword vibrated as strands of red energy rose into the air and made contact with Lu Yin. Immediately, he felt an uncontrollable surge of emotions erupt within him. Anger, greed, desire, desire, and so on, all of which drew out the bloodthirst and madness that had been hidden deep within his body.
His eyes turned crimson red.
This was Qi Xu's power.
Lu Yin subconsciously let go, and the sword reversed and slashed horizontally towards his neck.
Lu Yin dodged and condensed Seal the Heavens Sequence Particles at his fingertips. He flicked his finger, and with a bang, the sword vibrated. Suddenly, the dark space turned gray as time froze. Lu Yin's movements became infinitely slower, and a blood-red figure appeared in front of him. It looked up and smiled at him.
It was a familiar blood-red figure and a familiar smile.
Back in the mirage domain, this blood-red figure had injured Hongyan Mavis the first time it had appeared. They had been unable to fight back, and it had even made a gesture for Lu Yin to be silent before it left.
Lu Yin would never forget that scene for the rest of his life.
At that moment, it was as if he had seen the sky.
Now, the blood-red figure had reappeared, holding the sword hilt and slashing down at him.
The familiar movements were so easy, but Lu Yin was no longer the Lu Yin of the past.
Flowing light shuttled back and forth. In the past, Flowing Light had allowed Lu Yin to dodge the sword, but now, it was just as easy as this blood-red figure's attack.
Lu Yin's movements, which had been sluggish as if he had been stuck in a quagmire, suddenly recovered. He dodged the sword and struck out with a palm at the blood-red figure. There was a karmic spiral in his palm, and he wanted to uncover the hidden unknown.
Lu Yin dodged the sword, and the blood-red figure also dodged the palm.
The sword swept past and changed its technique, stabbing at an unbelievable angle again. The gray around him became denser, and the quagmire of time wrapped around Lu Yin like a ribbon, but it was torn apart by the flowing light.
Lu Yin understood that this time was not the Tian Yuan Universe's time. This blood-red figure was using a time that did not belong to the Tian Yuan Universe to affect the people of the Tian Yuan Universe.
It was just like the time of Seamless.
However, he had underestimated Liu Guang. When he had fought against the Avici, Lu Yin had allowed Liu Guang to transform into a small boat that was even larger than the ferryman's boat in the River of Time.
Unless the blood-red figure's control over the River of Time was strong enough to overturn the light boat, there was no way he could use time to suppress Lu Yin.
Lu Yin and the blood-red figure continued to fight in the grey time quagmire. They exchanged over a hundred moves, but neither side managed to touch the other.
The crimson figure's smile widened, and the changes in his sword techniques became more and more complex. Each strike contained too many variations, and even the sword intent was constantly changing. Lu Yin's understanding of the sword was also extraordinary. Although he might not be able to surpass the crimson figure, dodging the attacks was not a problem for him.
When he attacked, the blood-red figure had to dodge as well.
Lu Yin's Triple Firmament Sword Intent, Qi of Life, Karma Spiral, and World Lock were all unable to trap the blood-red figure even once.
The crimson figure's moves were as smooth as flowing water, as if he was strolling in the rain.
Lu Yin chased relentlessly, but he couldn't even touch the sword.
"He saw through all of your moves." Blue Lotus Regent's voice sounded in his ears.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. Had he been seen through?
"He understands you too well, and all of your moves have been seen through. Listen to me. Words of Law, Karma Heavenly Dao, World Lock, and World Lock.
Lu Yin's consciousness spread out, and Words of Law spread out.
At the same time, Karma Heavenly Dao was released, and countless karma spirals soared into the sky, turning into karma wheels that slashed out in all directions.
World Lock was like a monster lying in the starry sky.
The blood-red figure was somewhat dazed by the chaotic attacks, and he retreated step by step. Although his expression couldn't be seen, Lu Yin could sense that he was puzzled.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the light turned into a small boat, and the River of Time appeared beneath his feet. He reversed the flow and changed the time node.
Lu Yin instantly appeared behind the blood-red figure, grasping karma as he struck out at the back of the figure's head.
The palm struck the back of the blood-colored figure's head, causing it to explode and dissipate into a bloody mist. The karma then passed through the figure, revealing a snow-white hand that looked exactly like the hand that Lu Yin had seen when he had used the Eternal Past to unleash the Eternal Past.
It was that unknown.
Hiss!
Blood splattered in front of Lu Yin's eyes as he stared blankly at the headless blood-red figure. The figure's head was gone, but the body had turned around and slashed down, tearing a large bloody wound in Lu Yin's body.
Lu Yin's uncontrollable emotions erupted once more, and his eyes turned bloodshot. He took a step forward and slapped down with a fierce palm, causing the blood-red figure to scatter.
Blood splattered in front of his eyes, but his emotions recovered in an instant.
"Be careful!"
Azure Lotus Emperor growled, and a strand of karma descended, wrapping around the red sword that was about to stab Lu Yin. The tip of the sword was only a few centimeters away from Lu Yin's forehead. Lu Yin's head went cold, and he seemed to see a hand through the sword. It was as white as jade, and he also seemed to see a pair of eyes that contained countless emotions.
Just as he was about to grab the sword, it suddenly broke free of the karma and shot towards the door.
Lu Yin hurriedly chased after it.
The sword quickly disappeared.
Lu Yin was shocked. That fast?
"You won't be able to catch up. You should be familiar with this scene." Azure Lotus Emperor's voice rang out.
Lu Yin fused his Karma Heavenly Dao with his Karma Heavenly Dao and stared at the sword.
The red sword blossomed with light as it pierced through the nine heavens.
He was indeed familiar with this scene. That blue sword had also pierced through the nine heavens in this manner.
It had not been easy for the Startling Gate to block that sword. Now, Lu Yin watched as the red sword pierced through the Karma Heavenly Dao and continuously approached the nine heavens. Along the way, the demonic red continued to fade until it disappeared into nothingness. Then, cracks appeared on the sword's edge that spread throughout the entire sword. Finally, it shattered with a bang and dissipated into the universe.
Lu Yin watched in shock. It shattered just like that?
From what he could see, this red sword's aura might not have been inferior to that of the blue sword. After the Tianyuan Universe disappeared, it had gained an inexplicable power. He did not know if it belonged to Qi Xu, the hidden unknown, or the sword itself.
However, such a sword couldn't even get close to the Nine Heavens Universe.
In comparison, the Startling Gate was indeed much weaker than Azure Lotus Emperor.
However, it was a pity that the sword had shattered just like that.
In the nine heavens universe, the Startling Gate also sensed this and looked into the distance. Was it another unknown?
What had happened?
She took a step forward and headed towards Ye Hai.
"This sword belonged to Qi Xu. Now that she is dead, this sword should not exist anymore. The sword's power has already been used up, so there is no point in keeping it." Azure Lotus Emperor's voice traveled into Lu Yin's ears.
Lu Yin sighed. "Can't I use it to find the hidden unknown?"
"The Sword of Karma Heavenly Dao. I knew that I would not be able to find it. From beginning to end, that unknown has never touched this sword. However, there is a woman in the Tianyuan Universe who has been carrying it for a long time."
"That is the God of Oblivion."
"You can find that woman. There is no need for my help. Just use the Karma Heavenly Dao to divine yourself. Without this sword, she will not be able to escape on her own."
Lu Yin nodded. Wang Miaomiao, it was time to settle all the scores.
Of the Seven Skygods, he had thought that the most troublesome would be the Ancient Gods, but he had later learned that it was the God of Oblivion.
This woman had appeared the earliest but had hidden herself the deepest.
She must know about the hidden unknown. This was the last clue of the Tianyuan Universe.
The Karma Heavenly Dao once again.
Countless people in the Tianyuan Universe heard it again.
As karma boiled, strands of karma spiraled through Lu Yin's body. He raised his hand and pulled at the void, continuing to absorb spacetime into his palm. Wang Miaomiao, you cannot escape.
The next moment, Lu Yin's eyes were filled with disbelief. Where was she?
How could she not be here?
He continued to use karma to divine himself, but there was nothing. It was impossible. If he could divine her just now, how could she not be here now?
Unless she was dead.
Lu Yin's heart continued to sink as he used the Karma Heavenly Dao to search for Azure Lotus Defender.
"Senior, please lend me a hand. I cannot find the God of Oblivion."
"How can that be?" Azure Lotus Defender helped Lu Yin divine himself.
There was still nothing.
Lu Yin frowned. Could she be dead?
The God of Oblivion, Wang Xiaoyu, and Tengu were all dead?
Azure Lotus Defender's tone was heavy. "Either they are dead or taken away by that unknown. With that unknown power, the red sword is just a tool."
Lu Yin was helpless. He retracted the Karma Heavenly Dao and released the Sequence String. They should be dead, just like Wei Nu. Would that unknown have left the God of Oblivion and the others behind?
The way he saw it, the God of Oblivion's greatest use was to protect that sword. Now that the sword had been shattered, she was useless.
Farewell, Wang Miaomiao.
In a certain parallel universe of the Tianyuan Universe, Tengu's head drooped as it carefully followed the God of Oblivion and Wang Xiaoyu. There was a blurry figure on its back, but its face and clothes could not be seen clearly. Almost nothing could be seen clearly except for the pair of hands that were as white as jade. They were very eye-catching.
Tengu trembled with every step it took. It felt a deep sense of fear. It was the instinctive fear of a predator.
The figure on its back made it unable to walk steadily, and its eyes dimmed.
"This little dog is useless. It can't even walk fast."
The figure spoke. The God of Oblivion and the others could understand the meaning, but they could not remember the voice. It was as if they had forgotten it after hearing it. They could not remember anything other than the meaning.
Tengu trembled even more, and its ears drooped. It was afraid that it would be killed.
In front, the God of Oblivion looked calm as she walked into the depths of space.
Beside her, Wang Xiaoyu was shocked. That lord had finally appeared.
"Eh, this little dog can't run fast. Xiaoyu, right? Do you think we should kill it?" the figure spoke again.
Tengu whined softly and looked at Wang Xiaoyu pleadingly.
Wang Xiaoyu was stunned. She did not expect to be asked. She subconsciously looked at the God of Oblivion, who was looking straight ahead without any movement. It was completely different from its usual playful self.
"Xiaoyu, you haven't answered me."
Wang Xiaoyu said respectfully, "Tengu has done many things for us. It is also a helper of the Eternals."
"Oh, is that so? Fine, let it be. I don't care. But you, if it slows down, that little guy called Xia Shang will catch up," the figure teased.
Wang Xiaoyu was shocked. "Impossible."
