Lu Yin listened quietly and closed his eyes. An image of the abyss devouring life after life appeared in his mind. The people whose knees had been shattered were crawling towards the people on the other side of the abyss.
He had to collect the corpse of that person. Even if the entire civilization was buried, he had to fill that abyss.
Too many people had died at the bottom of the abyss; it was a line of death.
Lu Yin clenched his fists. Had humans ever encountered such a thing?
"After they died, something even more terrifying happened." The creature looked at Lu Yin again and spoke in a trembling voice, "Bones.
Bones crawled out from their corpses.
They crawled out of the abyss and beyond the line of death towards the person who had died in battle. They danced around that person, and even though their knees were shattered, they still danced and sang for death, mocking them. "
"They crawled even faster.
They filled the line of death without hesitation and crawled over.
They pushed the bones away, mocking death.
Mocking the person who had died in battle.
Mocking the human civilization.
But the more they crawled,
The more bones there were,
Despair.
They brought an entire civilization.
So what if the entire civilization was filled in?
Death looked down from above, its gaze forever filled with mockery and amusement. To death, this was just a game, a form of entertainment. "
"Don't touch death, don't touch death."
"No, no more."
Lu Yin calmly stood in place and slowly opened his eyes. Who had encountered such a thing?
One of the Nine Bases?
Death. It was the universe of death. Controlling the bones and making them leave the body was the universe of death.
Had such a thing happened in the ancient past?
Making the bones dance, drawing the line of death, and the universe of death. You guys really know how to play.
These three recorded civilizations were released, and they were still in the vicinity.
As for what would happen in the end, it had nothing to do with Lu Yin.
They had brought him information, and he had given them freedom. This was an exchange.
Everything else had nothing to do with Lu Yin. He had no need to save any civilization other than the human civilization.
"You know that the human civilization has encountered this before?" Lu Yin looked at Cement.
Cement replied, "Every civilization has encountered a tragedy. It's normal."
"The records of the human civilization are not remarkable. How did you know?"
"I'm used to flipping through the history of a civilization after recording it. Perhaps I can find a connection with some of the current civilizations."
Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Indeed, this was a good idea. Through that civilization, Lu Yin already knew what the Undead Universe had done to the human civilization. Otherwise, if he encountered the Undead Universe in the future, he might still foolishly cooperate with them.
That's right, no wonder the Azure Lotus Lord could draw away the Death Universe.
This was because Qing Lian Yu was a human powerhouse who had cultivated to a high level. He was a powerful enemy to the Death Universe. That was why he was lured away.
It also explained why so many skeletons in the Death Universe were in the form of humans. These skeletons might have come from the War of the Nine Bases.
Following that, Lu Yin had Cement bring out the creature that knew the coordinates of the Red Coat civilization. He wanted to search for them.
This was a creature that had reached the level of Du Ku Er, and it was also terrified of Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's aura was as oppressive as the sky.
"Are you sure it's in this direction?" Lu Yin asked. This creature had provided him with a rough location, and it wasn't too far away.
The creature replied, "This is what was recorded in the clan, it should be in this direction."
Otherwise, how could a being that had undergone Bitter Adversity know where the Underworld Red Specters were?
Lu Yin faced that direction and used the Mirror Light Technique.
Twenty years was enough for him to reach the Eternal Realm.
Following the Mirroring Technique, Lu Yin slowly shifted his gaze and soon saw a part of the universe. It was there that he had teleported away with the cement and the creature. When he reappeared, he was already far away from that part of the universe, where even Eternals could see him with their naked eyes.
The moment they appeared, a vast aura rushed over from the universe in front of them.
Lu Yin raised his eyebrows. The Eternal Realm?
"Red Coat ahead. Retreat."
These five simple words carried a supreme domineering aura, as if the word "Red Coat" was a deterrent.
Lu Yin instantly disappeared with Cement and the creature, leaving far away.
In the civilization ahead, a man in red opened his eyes and looked. Gone?
That fast?
How long had it been since the last Eternal Being? He just didn't know what civilization this Eternal Being belonged to.
What he sensed was not Lu Yin's aura, but Cement's aura.
He did not see Lu Yin.
However, Lu Yin had seen him.
After leaving the Underworld Red Coat civilization, the first thing Lu Yin did was attack Cement. The Triple Cang Sword Intent — Hidden Sword slashed through nearly half of Cement's body. Cement could not dodge and was heavily injured. More than half of its body was torn apart. It shouted angrily, "Human, why are you still attacking me?"
Lu Yin's gaze was cold. Previously, he did not attack because he wanted to find the Underworld Red Coat civilization. Now that he had found it, he did not have to kill Cement, but he definitely had to trap it.
Its methods were torture to the civilization, so it was impossible to let it go.
Moreover, he had to bring it back to look at the karma. He just did not have the time to look at it now.
The Triple Cang Sword Intent was still not enough. Lu Yin personally took action and continuously injured Cement. In the end, Cement was almost the same as Kui. Only then did Lu Yin throw it into the General Appointment Platform Hell to increase the karma first.
He did not release the Karma Heavenly Dao. Lu Yin knew that the Karma Heavenly Dao's current range was equivalent to the range before he planted the Dao Sword on the Immortal Lord. It was quite large.
A few more Eternal Beings would be enough to rival the Karma Heavenly Dao.
That was what Lu Yin was looking forward to.
A few months later, Lu Yin locked Cement in Mount Supreme. Then, he looked at the Underworld Red Coat civilization.
He did not go directly. Instead, he returned to the human civilization to discuss with Green Lotus Emperor and the others. In particular, Green Lotus Emperor had previously given up on the Underworld Red Coat civilization. It was obviously not right.
If Green Lotus Emperor had given up on it, it meant that the Underworld Red Coat civilization was very weak. However, the Underworld Red Coat civilization he had just seen was definitely not weak. There was more than one Eternal Being. Then, what was the Underworld Red Coat civilization that Green Lotus Emperor had given up on?
It was just a few teleportations, which was not as long as increasing the Karma Heavenly Dao.
Lu Yin quickly returned to the Nine Heavens Universe and learned that Green Lotus Emperor was in seclusion.
"Senior Green Lotus is in seclusion?" Lu Yin was surprised.
In front of him, Ming Zhuo said, "That's right. Master said that Mr. Lu's use of karma gave him inspiration. He immediately went into seclusion. Unless there's an emergency, don't disturb him."
"He also asked me to pass a message to Mr. Lu."
After a pause, Ming Zhuo looked at Lu Yin, "Mr. Lu, you can make all the decisions regarding the human civilization."
Lu Yin nodded, "I understand."
Since Green Lotus Emperor was in seclusion, Lu Yin could only greet Mister Mu and the others and tell them that he had found the Underworld Red Coat civilization. Then, he went to the Underworld Red Coat civilization alone to understand more.
Of course, he also looked for Hong 'er before leaving.
"Is your civilization really the Underworld Red Coat civilization?"
Hong 'er was still in the mangrove forest. When she saw Lu Yin, her expression was calm, "Yes."
"What's their strength?"
Hong 'er said, "A strength that can be abandoned. A strength that is useless to the Nine Heavens Universe."
"Is there any Eternal Being?"
"Of course not."
"How can you be sure that your civilization is the Underworld Red Coat civilization?" Lu Yin asked.
Hong 'er was stunned by the question and looked at Lu Yin blankly. What did he mean?
She did not know what her own civilization was?
After a moment of silence, she asked, "What do you want to say, Mr. Lu?"
Lu Yin did not ask and directly used karma to investigate. After all, Green Lotus Emperor had said that he could ask whatever he wanted.
He wanted to see Hong 'er's past karma.
Scenes of karma appeared, and Lu Yin saw Hong 'er's civilization and her experiences. It was indeed a civilization, and many cultivators were dressed in red. That's right, red clothes, red umbrellas, and red swords. It should be the Underworld Red Coat civilization.
What was going on?
In Hong 'er's past experience, her civilization was the same as the legendary Underworld Red Coat civilization. Other than their strength, everything else was similar.
It was normal for their strength to be different from the legends. The Third and Ninth Strongholds were very weak, and the First and Seventh Strongholds were nowhere to be found. Perhaps they had been destroyed.
After the Battle of Nine Bases, this should be the case for the Underworld Red Coat civilization. In the Nine Heavens Universe, the Tianyuan Universe, and the other humans who had been abandoned as bait had miraculously risen.
But what was going on with the other Underworld Red Coat civilization?
Lu Yin left. He could not get an answer from Hong 'er, so he went to the Underworld Red Coat universe to take a look.
Not long after, Lu Yin arrived outside the Underworld Red Coat universe again.
He saw the Eternal Realm cultivator again. He was dressed in red, and as he looked at Lu Yin, he suddenly opened his eyes and stared in Lu Yin's direction.
He could not see Lu Yin because he was far away, but he knew that someone was watching him.
He opened his mouth and spoke, and the sound waves swept into the distance like a storm, intimidating the stars.
Lu Yin changed his direction and looked ahead with the Mirroring Technique. Another Eternal Realm cultivator was sitting cross-legged outside the universe. Then, he kept changing his position. There were four Eternal Realms in four directions. A total of four Eternal Realms were guarding the four directions of the universe.
This was the strength of the civilization in front of him.
Their human civilization was protected by the Karmic Great Celestial Phenomenon, which came from the power of the Azure Lotus Protector.
The human civilization in front of him had four Eternal Realm cultivators guarding the four directions.
This Eternal Realm cultivator was not lacking at all.
If he brought this human civilization to his own, the strength of that civilization would immediately transform. Just the number of Eternal Realm cultivators alone would make them a fishing civilization.
But Lu Yin was not so optimistic. First of all, he did not know what relationship Hong 'er's civilization had with this one. Second of all, the four Eternal Realm cultivators he had just seen gave him an indescribable sense of indifference.
Especially when they looked at each other, the coldness and indifference that came from their bones seemed to be able to freeze time and space.
This gaze reminded Lu Yin of the Eternals.
Of course, they were not Eternals and did not have scarlet vertical eyes, but their gazes were similar.
Under normal circumstances, one could not enter this universe and had to be guarded by an Eternal Realm cultivator. However, Lu Yin could teleport.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Yin entered the universe and appeared in a bustling city.
He easily looked into the universe with the Mirroring Technique and saw the rotation of planets, the rise and fall of continents, and many cultivators.
