Bitter Battle saw this and instinctively warned, "Be careful, Mr. Lu."
Not just anyone could enter the abyss; only those at the peak of Ku Woe could.
He did not know what realm Lu Yin was at, but even though Lu Yin gave him a pressure comparable to his master's, it did not mean that Lu Yin was at the peak of Ku Woe.
However, Lu Yin did not hear anything as he walked towards the abyss.
Finally, his figure disappeared.
Bitter Battle stared blankly as Lu Yin entered.
He hoped that this person could still come out.
Ever since the spirit universe had been destroyed, there was no lack of people who had fallen into the abyss, never to return. This was very normal, but cultivation was very dangerous.
The abyss was dark, and Lu Yin continued to fall. He did not know how long he would fall or how much time had passed.
Here, time was distorted, like a whirlpool in the river of time. Perhaps an instant, or perhaps a hundred years; no one knew.
His body and heart fell into the abyss, and his five skandhas were all empty. He experienced the despair of being suppressed like an ant, but he also experienced the greatness of merging his body and the abyss.
He did not know time or space, and he could not feel his own body. There was only the abyss. He had never seen his own heart so deeply before, even though he was not thinking about anything.
After an unknown amount of time, he saw a gray flow in front of him. These were traces of time.
He raised his hand and touched the gray, but the darkness was still the darkness, and the abyss was still the abyss. Nothing had changed except for two shadows that crisscrossed in front of him. One held a weapon that resembled a spear, and its movements were bold. The other was neither human nor object. It was short and constantly moving, and it had its own profound mysteries.
The two shadows frantically attacked each other, shuttling back and forth in the abyss. Time and space were in chaos, and the abyss' suppression was like nothing to them.
They had absolute power.
Lu Yin could not help but strike out with a palm, and the gray dissipated along with the two shadows.
He was stunned. Could these be the afterimages of time from the distant past?
One of the shadows should be Stargate Shangyu, and the other should be the most powerful being in the spirit universe that had always remained in the abyss.
Once, during a battle between Jiuxiao and the spirit universe, Stargate Shangyu had jumped into the abyss and killed the strongest being in the spirit universe. He had then stepped into the Core Space and disappeared, returning with eternal life.
This battle should be the one that had occurred in the abyss.
Gray time constantly flowed around him.
Lu Yin casually touched it and saw scenes of the past, including the battle between the Stargate Shangyu and the short figure. They exchanged blows again and again, and both of them had to endure the pressure of the abyss. This was a place where even time was suppressed, and as time passed, Lu Yin saw scenes of people falling into the abyss and being crushed. There were too many scenes, and he also saw Master Kudeng sitting at the bottom of the abyss like a statue, not moving for a long time.
Time recorded the past like the most ancient bamboo slips. Lu Yin casually waved his hand, and all sorts of shadows appeared around him. There were afterimages of battles, howls, calmness, and majesty all around him. Countless shadows combined to form history, a history unique to the Abyss.
Lu Yin closed his eyes and sat in the void with Master Bitter Lamp, rotating slowly. Inexplicably, he thought of the True Sutra, which was like a mountain descending, like the True Will of Self, like sorrow and joy, like joy, like the unity of heaven and earth.
Ru Wen was coming.
The movements of the shadows around him slowed down, regardless of whether they were fighting, howling, or calmness.
Time sometimes turned gray, sometimes turned into shadows, and they became slower and slower. Gradually, Lu Yin's surroundings moved with his body, pulling out a gray line of time that revolved around his body.
Was time moving forward or backward?
He didn't know, but the gray line was like a cocoon that enveloped him.
The abyss, the heart, the abyss. The heart was like the abyss, reflecting the netherworld. The heart was like the beginning, and the body did not move. The body did not move. The mind did not move. The mind did not move.
…
Outside of the karmic phenomenon, atop the One Leaf Lotus, the Startoad's mood was completely different from before.
Eternal Life Carrying Heaven's words kept ringing in its mind. It guessed all kinds of possibilities. It guessed that Eternal Life Carrying Heaven was helping the humans to lie to it. The possibility of this was very high, but it did not dare to gamble. If it lost, it would die.
The more it feared death, the more it hoped that its own kind would come. But now, if its kind didn't bring gifts but a butcher's knife, then it would be better not to come.
It was doing well now.
Even if the humans were a little cunning.
That Lu Yin was a little despicable.
But it was still doing well. Don't come, please don't come.
"Don't come, please don't come, don't come, don't come …"
Xingfan looked at the Startoad strangely, as this fellow had actually started to nag. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that the Eternal Heaven Carrier was making things up. Even though it made sense, it was still frightening.
However, Xingfan was an outsider and could see things clearly. If he were the toad, he would probably do the same. After all, this was a matter of life and death.
Xingfan's expression changed at the thought of being the toad. He glanced at the Startoad in disgust and closed his eyes to cultivate. Out of sight, out of mind.
"They're here."
A scream scared Xingfan so much that she almost fell out of the lotus. She closed her eyes and glared at the Startoad. "What are you screaming about?"
The toad trembled and looked at Xingfan in despair. "They're here."
Xingfan's expression changed, and she stared at the toad. "Are you sure?"
The toad nodded, and its lotus leaves drooped.
The Azure Lotus Emperor's voice rang out. "Are you sure?"
The Startoad felt bitter. "I don't know if it's them, but it feels very familiar, very familiar."
"Compare the aura with the Sky Bearing Race you sensed in the Heaven Origin Realm. Confirm the distance."
The Startoad thought for a while and said, "Three years."
In the Nine Heavens Universe, the Azure Lotus Emperor looked serious. "Three years?
They're really here. "
At the same time, far away from the Karma Celestial Phenomenon, where the Startoad was staring, a huge Startoad hopped towards the human civilization. It was the fourth child of the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad Race. It looked like an enlarged version of the Startoad, but compared to the Startoad, it had a crooked mouth and slanted eyes. Its entire body was painted with different colors, and a lotus leaf was wrapped around its waist. There were two steel forks hanging on its shoulders, and its trunk was straight behind its back.
"Hmph, San Yu, you want to run? Do you think you can run?
Have you asked your handsome and mighty Fourth Master?
You're courting death. "
"Strange, why is there an aura of the same race?
Although it's a little weak, it's still the same race. Strange, strange. "
"Could it be the fifth child? No, it's not. The fifth child's aura is not that weak, and he's not smart enough to block the path of San Yu. He's the stupidest …"
…
In the Nine Firmaments Universe, Qinglian Shangyu looked at the stars with a heavy gaze.
It had been fifty years since the Blood Tower had left. Although it hadn't been that long, it should have returned.
He hoped that he could make it in time for this battle.
He then looked in another direction, which was the direction of the spiritual universe. He wondered how Lu Yin was doing.
In the spiritual universe, Bitter Battle kept retreating. The closer he got to the abyss, the harder it felt to control it. It was as if the abyss had come alive.
How could this be?
Could it be related to that person?
He had been here for so many years, but he had never felt this way before.
After a period of time, Bitter Battle kept retreating until he had no choice but to leave the spiritual universe. He had discovered that it wasn't just the abyss; the entire spiritual universe seemed to have come alive.
In the abyss, Lu Yin opened his eyes, and his lips curled up. He had used the abyss to see the netherworld, and combined it with the Tathagata Sutra, he had finally cultivated the power of wishes.
The world was as big as the heart, and the universe could be as big as the heart. This was the power of wishes.
This meant that from now on, not only could he combine his wishes with the Tian Yuan Universe, but he could also use the power of wishes to combine with any universe that did not resist. He was no longer limited to the Tian Yuan Universe.
Of course, the prerequisite for combining a universe with the power of wishes was that the universe did not resist.
If most of the creatures in the universe resisted, then that would be the power of wishes, and they would not be able to combine.
Just like how most of the creatures in the Tian Yuan Universe acknowledged Lu Yin, he could combine his wishes with the Tian Yuan Universe.
The wills of all living beings were wishes.
The power of wishes could be said to be omnipotent, but it could also be said to be extremely limited.
It was a power that was difficult to see the bottom line.
It was different from karma and time.
There was a joke about the Core Space. Some creatures could obtain the recognition of a universe and combine their wishes with that universe, but this was almost impossible.
This joke not only represented the difficulty of obtaining the recognition of all living beings in the universe, but it also meant that almost no creatures could comprehend the power of wishes. If there were, then this joke would not exist.
Lu Yin could comprehend the power of wishes. The abyss and the Tathagata Sutra were just a path that he had walked. The key to opening this path was to combine his wishes with the Tian Yuan Universe, allowing him to experience the feeling of being one with the universe.
If not for this, he would not have thought in that direction.
Lu Yin exhaled, and his expression suddenly changed. Not good, how long has it been outside?
He hurriedly walked out and found Bitter Battle. After confirming that only five years had passed in the outside world, he relaxed.
Had it only been five years?
Actually, Lu Yin felt that it had definitely been more than five years in the abyss. Time was distorted there, and although it was different from the mirage domain where time did not exist, the distorted time could be longer or shorter.
This could be considered his good luck.
Lu Yin stood beside the abyss and watched calmly. He had gained too much from this trip, and he had not expected to directly cultivate the power of wishes.
Rushi was truly a genius, and it was no wonder that his aspirations were higher than the sky. He wanted to rely on the Tathagata Sutra to achieve eternal life.
Although the possibility of this was very small, the Tathagata Sutra had taken a unique path, and it had also allowed him to go even further in the Heavenly Palace and surpass everyone else.
If Rushi could also come to the abyss to experience it, then even if he could not cultivate the power of wishes, he might still be able to go even further on the path of the Tathagata Sutra.
He was the only one who had turned his will into a technique.
Other than experiencing the power of the abyss, Lu Yin had also wanted to see if he could take things one step further when they reached an extreme.
The Tathagata Sutra had been of great help to Lu Yin on his path of cultivation. Aside from allowing him to comprehend the power of time, it had also protected him many times in battle.
If Lu Yin was asked what power he wanted to transform the most, then the Tathagata Sutra would definitely be at the top.
This was especially true in the active universe, where he had relied on the Tathagata Sutra to reach the bottom of the sea. Unfortunately, the activity there had been too great, and even if the Tathagata Sutra had reached an extreme, it had been too late.
If the Tathagata Sutra had reached an extreme, then he might have been able to endure it.

His breathing was irregular, and he could not sleep at night. He had a recurring fever and a headache!
