Lu Yin raised his brows. "Then why did you lure the Seven-Treasures Heavenly Toad over?
A Seven-Treasures Heavenly Toad shouldn't be much weaker than you. If it comes, you won't be able to appear, and you won't be a threat to human civilization. "
Lan Meng sneered. "I didn't want to lure it over, but rather the true old monster of the Seven-Treasures Heavenly Toad race."
He stepped forward, his skeletal face twisting as sword intent swept towards Lu Yin. "Hand over Qixu's item."
Lu Yin frowned, and the Worldly Lock descended. Lan Meng's sword slashed horizontally, completely severing the lock. The blue longsword was accompanied by an indescribably terrifying sword intent that suppressed Lu Yin to the point where he couldn't breathe.
The difference between them was too great. He could fight against the humanoid Green Immortal, but there was still a huge gap between them when facing Lan Meng.
Lan Meng was a powerhouse who could fight against the Gate of Wonder, which had fused with Mi Jin Shangyu Xiuling. Even before the Gate of Wonder had fused with Mi Jin Shangyu Xiuling, it had been able to fight against the humanoid Green Immortal and the droplet Green Immortal.
Of all the Eternal existences that Lu Yin knew, Qinglian Shangyu, Lan Meng, and the Immortal Master were the most powerful. Second only to them was the Gate of Wonder, which had fused with Mi Jin Shangyu Xiuling. Below them were Master Kudeng and Lu Yin.
If the Blood Tower Shangyu returned, he might be able to reach the Gate of Wonder's level.
In the face of Lan Meng's sword intent, the Divine Seal Catalog appeared above Lu Yin's head. The Triple Firmament sword intent struck out, but Lan Meng's sword was repelled. Lan Meng's sword intent vibrated, but he couldn't break through it. This Triple Firmament sword intent was completely different from before.
Dozens of Triple Firmament sword intents enveloped the void. Lan Meng sneered and raised his claws to resist.
Bang bang bang …
The Hidden Swords were all crushed. Lu Yin's pupils shrank, and his scalp went numb. Lan Meng's defenses were this strong?
Their previous exchange hadn't been so exaggerated.
When they had surrounded Lan Meng, Lan Meng's pressure had been shouldered by the Gate of Wonder. Only now did Lu Yin realize how great the gap between them was.
Lan Meng's branch-like claws suddenly extended, forming a cage that grabbed at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin tossed out a karma spiral.
, but it was blocked by a blue light.
"Karma isn't omnipotent," Lan Meng's claw's, "Lu Yin's's's's's's's's's...........
The endless darkness compressed the void into a flat surface.
Lan Meng suddenly clenched his fist, shattering this darkness. A huge claw descended, completely covering Lu Yin.
Just as the attack was about to hit Lu Yin, Lan Meng's expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously dodged to the side. In that instant, everything fell silent. Space, time, and everything else froze, including Lan Meng's claw and Lan Meng's dodging figure. Everything froze in place.
Countless voices echoed, as if countless people were chanting something.
The next moment, a shocking scene unfolded before him.
In the starry skies of the universe, massive karmic streaks formed circles like arms. At this moment, the dark starry skies were illuminated by the light of karma.
Karma replaced the stars, replaced the darkness, replaced everything that could be replaced. In the end, it gathered into a finger that struck Lan Meng between his eyebrows.
"Thousand Faces of Karma – Heavenly Wheel."
Lan Meng's pupils shrank as he stared at the finger. The moment the finger landed between his eyebrows, the blue halo behind his head rippled like water with the finger as the center before shattering. The finger pierced through and blue light bloomed. It wasn't light, but fragments that destroyed the blue light that once covered the universe.
Bang!
Lan Meng retreated step by step. His head had been pierced through, and he howled in pain.
Azure Lotus Protector walked out of the void and struck out with another finger.
A blue coffin suddenly appeared behind Lan Meng, sucking his body in and closing the lid.
Bang!
Another finger shot out and hit the blue hanging coffin, sending it flying. On the lid of the hanging coffin, a deep imprint of a finger appeared.
In an instant, the blue coffin vanished.
The surrounding void shattered. Everything had happened too quickly, and even the void couldn't react in time.
Lu Yin stared at this scene in a daze. The more pressure Lan Meng had given him, the greater the shock of Azure Lotus Protector defeating Lan Meng.
He knew that Azure Lotus Protector was very strong, but from start to finish, Azure Lotus Protector hadn't done anything.
Karma Phenomena covered several universes. It was very shocking, but it couldn't compare to that attack.
This was Azure Lotus Protector's true attack.
Before this, Lu Yin had only seen Azure Lotus Protector stalling Immortal Masters or Azure Lotus Protector using Karma Phenomena to control the entire situation. He had never seen such a shocking scene.
The void gradually regained its calm.
Azure Lotus Protector turned around and faced Lu Yin, saying regretfully: "It still escaped. I didn't expect that coffin to be so hard, it could actually block my Finger Sky Wheel. What a pity, what a pity."
Was, was that so?
Lu Yin didn't know what to say. It was as if as long as Azure Lotus Protector appeared, Lan Meng would definitely die.
But looking at the situation just now, it didn't seem impossible.
"What's wrong?" Azure Lotus Protector saw Lu Yin looking at him in a daze and was puzzled.
Lu Yin suppressed his shock: "Senior, your attack just now …?"
"How was it?
Powerful, right? "Azure Lotus Protector smiled.
Lu Yin nodded. It was more than powerful. If not for Lan Meng, even Azure Lotus Protector would have died. That human form Azure Lotus Protector and water droplet form Azure Lotus Protector wouldn't have reacted at all. This was overwhelming strength.
"Haha, do you want to learn?
I can teach you. "Azure Lotus Protector smiled.
Lu Yin was envious: "This junior is indeed lacking in karma killer moves."
"That's because our cultivation paths are different. Your karma is better at creation, searching, and so on. As for me, I specialize in the power of killing. After all, human civilization needs a sharp blade."
"But don't feel inferior. Just because our paths are different, it doesn't mean that your cultivation is worse than mine. You were the one who found out about death. Creating karma and deducing the past is not something I can do so easily."
Lu Yin pursed his lips. He didn't feel inferior, he just envied this karma killer move.
Azure Lotus Protector clasped his hands behind his back: "It's not too late to become a disciple now."
Lu Yin: "…"
"Senior, Lan Meng's injuries shouldn't be small, right?"
Azure Lotus Protector smiled: "It's not just small. I didn't cripple it because it has a big head, but it won't dare to cause trouble for a long time."
Lu Yin sighed in relief: "We finally dealt with one." But he immediately frowned: "If Lan Meng doesn't come, who knows if the others will come?"
Azure Lotus Protector shook his head: "I'm not sure, but with our understanding of the Unknowns, they shouldn't. Before Qi Xu's death, the Unknowns didn't cause trouble for our human civilization. They only sent Lan Meng after confirming Qi Xu's death. Now, Lan Meng is still alive. The Unknowns have no concept of time, they shouldn't send experts over in a short period of time."
"That's good. As long as we have time, we can stabilize the situation."
"Lan Meng might not come, but the trouble he brought is not small. That Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad is not simple, didn't you hear what it said?
It wants to lure that old monster over. "
"Senior, you know about it?"
"Not at all."
"To be called an old monster by Lan Meng, it should be very strong."
Azure Lotus Protector had a solemn expression: "Heaven Bearing said that it is an ancient lifeform that perfectly demonstrates eternal life. Even if it isn't good at fighting, its strength shouldn't be weak. I only hope that things go smoothly this time. Otherwise, we will have to move."
"But I reckon that the old monster has lived until now, so it won't make a move easily. After all, the restriction of eternal life is no joke."
Lu Yin thought about it and agreed: "Then I will continue on my way."
Lu Yin had used the red hanging coffin to find the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad's Fourth Brother, just as Lan Meng had said, to divert the Fourth Brother's hatred. However, this also involved the Startoad, and Lu Yin and Azure Lotus had expected that Lan Meng would be able to guess and block Lu Yin's actions. Lan Meng was not stupid, and he had definitely been watching the human civilization all this time.
The Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad's fourth brother had come from the same direction as the Heaven Bearing Race, so Lan Meng would definitely be able to keep an eye on it. This would give Azure Lotus Protector a chance to make a move.
Of course, Lu Yin was also very important as a bait.
Lan Meng not only wanted to kill Lu Yin, but he also wanted to snatch the red hanging coffin and the red string. He had to eat this bait.
Now that he had achieved his goal, he could focus on dealing with the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad.
The red hanging coffin continued to move forward under Azure Lotus Protector's power.
Azure Lotus Protector's voice sounded: "Don't be envious, I will teach you the karma killer move. Your cultivation path is different from mine. I am willing to be the Blade of Civilization, and I am enough for now. You can cultivate in peace."
Lu Yin looked back and saw that Azure Lotus Protector had already returned.
He had already taken a risk by leaving the Nine Heavens to deal with Lan Meng. They had made this decision after deducing that Lan Meng would definitely act. The sooner they returned, the better. Otherwise, it would be over if the Immortal Master discovered them.
Willing to be the Blade of Civilization?
Although the human civilization was not a fishing civilization, Lu Yin was glad that he had been born in this civilization. This civilization made the Core Space not so cold anymore.
Half a year later, in outer space, the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad's fourth brother adjusted his pitchfork.
Jump.
Jump.
Jump. Eh?
What is this?
Not good, karma?
Old Four twisted its body, and its fat body miraculously twisted to the side to dodge. It glared angrily in front of it.
"Civilization ahead, outsiders are forbidden. Scram!"
There was a furious roar, and karma spirals flew out towards Old Four.
Old Four was not afraid of karma, but it could not be touched by it either. It did not want its privacy to be spied on.
After dodging all the karma spirals, Old Four angrily raised his pitchfork and was about to attack when he realized that the person was already gone.
Where did he go?
Bastard, what is this thing, running away after using karma?
Old Four was about to give chase, but wait, that's not right. It's a trap! It must be a trap! I can't chase after him!
In the distance, Lu Yin looked back and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the toad had not chased after him. Sure enough, it was the same as the Startoad, which was good.
Beneath his feet, the One Leaf Lotus flew towards the Karma Phenomenon with the red coffin floating atop it.
He could not outrun Old Four with his own speed, but fortunately, he was closer to the Karma Phenomenon than he had been to the Heaven's Origin Cosmos. At this distance, the Azure Lotus Guard was at the edge of the Karma Phenomenon, so he could just barely control the lotus to return. Otherwise, with Lu Yin's own speed, Old Four would have been able to catch up to him even if he had to wait a few years.
He had done what he could, and the rest was up to fate.
If the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toads' personalities were similar to the Startoad's, or if their understanding of things was similar, then he should be able to succeed.
Suspicious, cowardly, greedy, abhorrent, but arrogant and conceited. This was the Startoad.

Thank you for your support, brothers! I'll be back to normal today!
His body still could not take it, and it took him twice as long to write as before. He would start panting after sitting down for a short while, and there was a stone in his chest. He could not sleep well at night.
In the past, he had liked to eat spicy food, but now, whenever he ate spicy food, his chest would hurt. His entire body felt light and weightless, and his vision had become even more blurry.
However, he still had to work, and he would take it slow. Hopefully, his condition would get better and better!
