Small doors appeared beside the unknown beings, and Eight Colors' voice sounded, "Human civilization's Qing Lian and Nan Ling were sealed at the same time. Chang Dou was refined to death, Yue Lu escaped, and Si Qin returned."
That one sentence made the unknown beings fall silent.
That human civilization could actually do such a thing?
Not only did they not lose against three immortal feathers, but they even killed one. It was unbelievable.
One had to know that Nan Ling, Si Qin, and Chang Dou were all existences that fit the laws of the universe. They were ranked in the middle of the ten feathers, especially Nan Ling, who was second only to Tell the Sky and Bei Qing. How could they be sealed?
Human civilization's growth exceeded their expectations.
"Haha, that's not good."
"Human civilization defeated three immortal feathers. It means that even if we attack, we won't be able to win."
"Eight Colors, how long has it been since Lu Yin joined?"
"More than 1,200 years."
"In just over 1,200 years, the human civilization has been brought to such heights. How terrifying."
"I'm panicking."
"I'm panicking too."
"Hehe."
The universe shook again. A towering immortal feather flew out from the immortal feather tree. As its wings flapped, heaven and earth swayed. The pressure it brought made the unknown beings retreat.
"How exaggerated."
"Shangjing, what a terrifying old monster."
"Just an old fart. I didn't expect it to still be alive."
"Retreat a little more. Give it some face."
"Hehe."
Specks of white starlight descended like a curtain, blocking the path ahead of the group of unknown beings. What followed closely were endless phantoms of portals. In an instant, they covered the entire universe. No one could clearly see how far they were. This was the world of the door.
The unknown white knew the origin of the unknown doors.
"White, don't interfere. This is my fault.
The grudge between the immortal feathers and human civilization. "Shangjing was furious. His aura surged as he wanted to suppress the starry sky.
Opposite him, the white starlight flickered and said gently, "The human civilization you speak of is the one I promised to protect for 2,000 years."
"That's human civilization. Don't forget, the descendants of Jiu Lei, your unknown enemy." Shangjing was furious.
"You don't have to repeat yourself. I don't know how to keep my promise. If I say 2,000 years, it means 2,000 years."
"Do you really want to go against me?"
"This is war."
"You're courting death."
"You can try."
When his voice fell, doors vaguely appeared around the immortal feathers one after another. This made all of the immortal feathers uneasy. Even an expert like Bei Qing couldn't break free, so how was this possible?
He wondered what level White had reached.
Even it was like this?
The starry sky was silent. No one spoke.
This silence did not last for long. As the countless fragments of sharpness around the Immortal Plume Tree rose into the air, it attracted the attention of both sides.
It was a fragment of the transparent sword.
Previously, the transparent Unknowable had used this sword to stab into the Immortal Plume Tree, but it had been dragged away by Baotian, who had been prepared for it. The transparent sword had also shattered, but Lu Yin had used the Tri-Colored Godly Power Transformation to use the transparent sword to destroy the Immortal Plume Tree, which had led to the awakening of Shangjing.
Shang Jing had awakened, and Lu Yin had run away. The transparent sword in Lu Yin's hand had shattered even more due to the destruction of the Immortal Plume Origin Tree. It scattered across the starry sky like glass shards, and no one paid any attention to it.
At this moment, these dreg-like transparent sword fragments rose into the air and gradually condensed back into swords.
This scene shocked the immortal plumes.
Bei Qing was overwhelmed with shock. That was impossible! The transparent sword was like this, which meant that the unknown Master of Balance had returned. Could it be … that the heavens had lost?
Lost?
On the unknowns' side, they all stared at the transparent sword. It was impossible to tell what they were thinking, but it was obvious that the scales of victory were tilting towards the unknowns.
The Eight-Colored Godly Power still did not appear. Only a voice came from a small door. "Xian Ling Baotian, life and death unknown. The Master of Balance has returned."
These words confirmed the result of the battle between the Master of Balance and Baotian. It pushed Xian Ling Baotian into the abyss and sent chills down the unknowns' spines.
They were well aware of Baotian's strength. At the beginning, they had given Lu Yin a five-star mission reward to seal Baotian and prevent him from coming out. In their minds, Baotian had once been Xian Ling Baotian's strongest expert.
Now, this strongest expert had been defeated, life and death unknown. The unknown Master of Balance had returned safely.
The gap between Xian Ling Baotian and the unknowns was widening.
In addition to the losses of Nan Ling and Chang Dou, as well as Ming Yu's losses in the previous battle, it was obvious that Xian Ling Baotian had lost this battle between civilizations.
However, this result might not be what all creatures wanted to see, even if the unknowns themselves did not know.
Shangjing's aura suddenly disappeared, and the surging pressure receded like the tide. His voice became much gentler. "I thought it was a trap, but I buried myself. Baotian's fate was his own. He overestimated himself and can't blame anyone else. At the same time, congratulations to the unknowns. This Master of Balance has been well chosen."
The unknowns did not reply.
Shangjing raised his head and looked at the transparent sword. "Can you tell me, is Baotian dead or alive?"
A calm voice came out. "He escaped, life and death unknown."
Shangjing's gaze was deep. "He escaped without even returning home. Looks like he's not far from death."
On the opposite side, the old man chuckled. "Ten Feathers, including the hidden you, a total of eleven.
How many are left?
Hehe. "
Shangjing said in a low voice, "We lost this battle. There's nothing to say, but even if there's only one left, the unknowns will have to risk their lives if they want to devour us."
Eight Colors spoke to the immortal feathers for the first time on this battlefield. "After this battle, as long as the immortal feathers don't start a war, the unknowns can let go."
There was no objection from the unknowns. Letting go meant letting go of the immortal feathers, and also letting go of themselves.
If they really fought with their lives on the line, no one could guarantee that they would survive until the end. Moreover, both sides were increasing the karmic restraint. The immortal feathers could sleep with the Dream of a Thousand Years, but what about the unknowns?
This was also the reason why not a single immortal feather died on the battlefield. The unknowns were all retreating. They only sought stability and victory, not slaughter.
Speaking of which, the greatest achievement of this battle, other than defeating the Master of Balance, was Lu Yin.
Whether it was blocking Baotian or destroying the Immortal Feather Tree, they were all done by him. Ming Yu and Chang Dou died in his hands, and the sealing of the Southern Spirit and Qing Lian Shangyu was also related to him.
After fighting for so long, everyone was tired.
Although it was not long, it was more tiring than any other battle.
Both sides did not speak anymore. Shangjing slowly sank into the Immortal Feather Tree.
Si Qin could not help but ask, "What about the Southern Spirit?
It's not dead, it's just sealed. "
Shangjing opened his mouth. His tone was terrifyingly calm. "The unknowns are watching. We can't take it away, but it's not easy to kill it. There will be a chance. In the end, humans are trapped in their own cocoons."
Si Qin was silent. There was something it did not say. What if the human civilization handed the Southern Spirit to the unknowns?
If it could think of it, so could the Shangjing Ancestor. Since it did not say it, there was no need to ask.
"The unknowns are treating themselves as the masters.
Did they really think that they could achieve glory in the world? Even the ninth base was defeated. The unknowns won't last long. "With that, Shangjing fell into a deep sleep.
Bei Qing, Si Qin, Yue Ting, and the other immortal feathers also slowly retracted their auras. Their bodies were covered in grey, and the Dream of a Thousand Years condensed.
Once they fell into a deep sleep, it was equivalent to giving up on the battle.
Yue Lu returned and vigilantly glanced at the unknowns in the distance. It also slowly fell asleep in the Dream of a Thousand Years. This battle originally started with it, but the immortal feathers had suffered greatly and it had almost died.
At this point, it saw some problems. Perhaps they had been led by the nose from the beginning.
It stared at the human universe, but its body was cut in half by the unknowns. It came back to complain to the Southern Spirit, hoping to be protected and avenged by the immortal feathers. Just as it wished, the immortal feathers woke up one by one and started this battle.
Before the battle, Yue Lu pretended to be in a deep sleep to lure the unknowns to attack and create a chance to fight the Master of Balance alone. This was Yue Lu's confidence, but the result was this.
Now, looking at it from another perspective, this was an opportunity created by the Master of Balance. From that sword to the end of the battle, Yue Lu did not know whether Yue Lu was dead or alive. Everything was in someone else's plan.
Around Yue Lu, the gray color gradually condensed. The starry sky became smaller and smaller until finally, it disappeared and fell into a deep sleep.
This time, the immortal feathers admitted defeat.
When Lu Yin saw the Dream of a Thousand Years sleeping on the crown of the Immortal Feather Tree with his own eyes, he was completely relieved.
Beside him, the eight-colored voice came from the small door. "The immortal feathers suffered great losses this time. They won't start another battle in the short term. The unknowns promised to protect you, and the human civilization will not change for two thousand years."
Lu Yin looked into the distance. Protect for two thousand years?
It was true.
This time …
If not for the unknowns, the human civilization would have been destroyed. They would not have been able to withstand the immortal feathers' attack.
But why did the immortal feathers attack the human civilization?
Perhaps it was related to him capturing Ming Yu and destroying the Immortal Feather Tree. If this was the reason for the immortal feathers to attack the human civilization, the human civilization would be implicated by the unknowns. But Lu Yin thought of Yue Lu instead.
When the battle started, Yue Lu was not at the Immortal Feather Tree nor in Knowless. Instead, she appeared in the three universes. What was the reason?
Could it be that she was targeting the three universes?
If that was the case, then the immortal feathers' attack on the human civilization might not be related to this battle. It could even be that the origin of this battle came from Yue Lu.
Lu Yin exhaled. No matter what the reason was, this battle was over.
The immortal feathers did not even take away the Red Lotus Tomb and allowed the Southern Spirit to be trapped. This was equivalent to handing the Southern Spirit over to them. This battle was indeed a huge blow to them.
"How many immortal feathers are left?" Lu Yin asked.
The eight-colored voice said, "Excluding the unknown Yue Lu and the sealed Southern Spirit, there are seven left."
Lu Yin frowned. Seven was still difficult to deal with.
At first, he thought that there were only ten immortal feathers. Shang Jing did not count. However, it was not easy to deal with an additional immortal feather, let alone Shang Jing.
Although Yue Lu and the Southern Spirit were gone, more than half of the remaining immortal feathers had reached the strength of two universes. Shang Jing, in particular, was unfathomable.
He wanted to take the opportunity to destroy the immortal feathers, but he knew that it was impossible.
The unknowns allowed the immortal feathers to sleep. The battle was over, but they did not want to fight. They could not start another war.
The human civilization could not withstand the immortal feathers' attack.
He teleported and disappeared. It was time to go back and deal with the aftermath.
On the spot, the eight-colored door also disappeared. After this battle, the unknowns had a clearer understanding of Lu Yin.
Although this person was not in the Eternal Realm, his strength was extremely strong. He was so strong that he could stand on equal footing with any of the unknowns.
