Every world had its own unique laws. The Tianyuan Universe, Ninefirmaments Universe, and spiritualized universes were all the same. Lu Yin understood the three universes too well, so he often met many people and knew what they would choose to do. His comprehension of his mental state was getting slower and slower, but it was different in the Red Coat Universe. The Path of Ruthlessness here was an opportunity that he had always wanted to improve his mental state. The people, events, and objects here were all different from the three universes, and it was extremely helpful in building his mental state.
Seventeen years passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Lu Yin put down his cup and disappeared.
Across from him, Xiang Siyu also put down her cup and muttered to herself, "He's gone again. Does breaking through really have to be like this?
But Startle Gate Shangyu and Bloodtower Shangyu were clearly normal. I even talked to Ba Yongsheng before, and he was also normal. Why did it change when it came to him? "
Some distance away, within a mountain, a huge space was filled with blood and violence. This was the home of a certain family in the Red Coat Universe. This family enslaved cultivators to help them cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness, and it could be said that they were extremely ruthless. This family's ancestor had once followed the Parallel Order and yearned for the Parallel Order's method of extreme pain. That was how they had developed their current method.
Lu Yin took a step forward, looked up, and slashed with his Gou Lian.
"Who's there?" someone shouted as they charged at Lu Yin.
These people were no different from ants in Lu Yin's eyes, and he could kill them with a single thought. However, he did not. Instead, he raised his Gou Lian and slashed out again and again, killing a person with each slash. Fresh blood dripped down the blade and dyed the ground red.
More and more cultivators charged at him.
Darkness surrounded Lu Yin's body. This was the dark side of the mental state wall, and outsiders could not see it. As he killed, the dark mental state wall piled up piece by piece, constantly catching up to the white mental state wall.
At this moment, there was only good and evil in Lu Yin's eyes. The evil side continued to pile up on the wall. If it was someone else's evil, then he would use evil to control evil.
In this universe, if one did not do evil, then they could only wait for death.
The greatest flaw of human nature was being benevolent in the clouds. Countless creatures wanted to drag you down, but if benevolence could not change them, then the butcher's knife would.
This might not have been a factor in Jiu Lian's defeat.
Not long after, Lu Yin returned to the boat and calmly took a sip of wine.
On the other side, Xiang Siyu did not say a word. She was used to it.
The boat floated down the river. Lu Yin looked at the shore and sighed, "It's still the carefree life of a mortal."
Xiang Siyu rolled her eyes. "They have their own troubles. Mortals envy us cultivators for being able to go anywhere, but they don't know how many life and death situations we have to go through."
Lu Yin nodded. "That's right. They envy us, and we envy them. In fact, we share the same goal."
"You're living well." Xiang Siyu continued.
Lu Yin looked at her. "Stand tall."
"Benefits?"
"What else?"
"Many people don't look at benefits and live in seclusion in the mountains. Only such people can be at ease."
"Why did they live in seclusion?"
"I've seen through it."
"How can I see through it?"
Xiang Siyu choked.
Lu Yin looked at the shore, "You've reached the peak, seen through everything, and then retired into the mountains. This is karma, but where is the karma?
How many people had he passed along the way?
How many people would be dragged down?
How many corpses had he stepped on?
You want to end it with just a few words? "
Xiang Siyu frowned. "What do you mean?"
Lu Yin swirled his wine glass and smiled at her. "What you gain in the underworld must be returned to the underworld. What you gain in the temple must be returned to the temple. This is karma."
Xiang Siyu was deep in thought. Karma?
So this was karma.
No one could escape from it. Karma was karma. Where there was karma, there was karma.
What about her?
Her good luck in the first half of her life had been exchanged for this final step. "How can I repay this karma?"
Lu Yin was about to speak when his eyes narrowed and he stared at the shore.
Xiang Siyu looked at Lu Yin. "Master Lu, can you tell me how I can repay this karma?"
Lu Yin put down his wine glass. "Looks like I'll have to help you repay it."
Xiang Siyu didn't understand and followed his gaze. She saw an expressionless man walking by the shore. Everyone gave way to him. He had a murderous aura that struck fear in people.
Xiang Siyu looked at Lu Yin. "Master Lu, you know him?"
Lu Yin chuckled, "Your luck isn't just for show."
He then smiled at Xiang Siyu. "Let's make a deal. You can repay your own karma."
Xiang Siyu, "??"
They walked along the shore to the ferry. Many people were boarding boats. The expressionless man stepped on the river and walked straight to the other shore.
Many people surrounded him and envied him. They confirmed that he was a cultivator who could do anything. He was immortal.
Many people knelt on the ground and begged to be his disciple.
The expressionless man walked to the other shore without a care until he was blocked by a small boat.
He looked at Lu Yin and Xiang Siyu on the boat with a gloomy expression.
Lu Yin looked at him. He hadn't expected to meet him here. Northern Hero, the original Red Hero designed by Er Mao, had suffered a huge blow on the day of the wedding. It had caused Red Hero to remember his hatred for Rangyu and break a part of his Ruthless Dao. After Er Mao's death, Red Hero had returned and taken Northern Hero away.
At that time, Lu Yin had felt that it was a pity. Regardless of whether Northern Hero died or was taken away by Lu Yin, he could still leave and continue to break through Red Hero's Heartless Dao. However, Northern Hero could not be taken away by Red Hero. Once Red Hero took Northern Hero away, Northern Hero would become a vessel for Northern Hero's Heartless Dao, which would make up for the portion of Northern Hero's Heartless Dao that had been broken because of Northern Hero's forgiveness.
But Northern Hero had already been taken away by Red Hero, and Lu Yin couldn't find him.
Fortunately, Northern Hero had to break through to the Immortal Realm to become a vessel for the Ruthless Dao. It was a long process, and Lu Yin only had to deal with Red Hero before then.
But he hadn't expected to meet Northern Hero here.
Northern Hero had to be cultivating, and Red Hero couldn't be tied to him. Northern Hero had to travel the Red Hero's universe and grow step by step. Otherwise, even with Red Hero's help, it would be difficult for him to break through to the Immortal Realm.
It was such a coincidence that Lu Yin met Northern Hero while he was cultivating.
Northern Hero looked at Lu Yin. "Do we know each other?"
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "Of course."
"Where is it?"
Just as Lu Yin was about to speak, Northern Hero suddenly disappeared, and Red Hero appeared in his place. His monstrous aura stunned the mortals on the shore and caused the river to boil.
Lu Yin waved his hand, and the aura dissipated. Otherwise, Xiang Siyu wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
The river gradually calmed down, and Red Hero stood on top of it with his hands clasped behind his back. He looked calm, but his tightly clenched fists betrayed his inner thoughts.
Lu Yin, on the other hand, was calm, and even a little surprised.
"How did you find him?" Red Hero asked, staring at Lu Yin. His voice was terrifyingly low.
Lu Yin smiled. "Should I report to you?"
Red Hero's eyes widened, and the water droplets beside him flowed backward into the sky.
Xiang Siyu's face paled.
Xiang Siyu's face was deathly pale. Although her power had been blocked by Lu Yin, the instinctive feeling of facing a terrifying creature was still clear to her. Looking at Red Hero, she felt as if she was facing a primordial beast, and her life was no longer in her control.
Even when she had sparred with Ba Yue, she hadn't felt it so deeply.
She pretended to be calm and sat down, refusing to look at Red Hero.
Red Hero didn't care about Xiang Siyu at all. She was just an ant, and he only had eyes for Lu Yin. However, Lu Yin's words left him with no choice.
He couldn't fight. If he did, he would be breaking the rules, and he might not be able to do anything to Lu Yin.
He asked, but Red Hero didn't say anything.
He couldn't figure out how Lu Yin had found Northern Hero. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have been able to find him.
Red Hero was the only one who knew of Northern Hero's whereabouts, and he was constantly on the lookout. The Red Underworld was so vast that it was impossible to coincidentally find him unless one had a precise location.
Lu Yin hadn't seen the entire Red Underworld either. Red Hero couldn't do it with him around.
Lu Yin definitely had a way to find Northern Hero.
"What are you doing here?" Red Hero asked.
Lu Yin stretched. "A change of scenery to open up my mind."
"You're cultivating your mind."
"You could say that."
"This is the Path of Ruthlessness."
Lu Yin smiled. "I don't need you to remind me. I know that this is the wrong Path of Ruthlessness."
Red Hero stared at Lu Yin. "If it's wrong, where did your mind come from?"
Lu Yin didn't answer. He sat down and poured himself a glass of wine.
Red Hero gave him a deep look before leaving.
Once Red Hero left, the pressure on Xiang Siyu disappeared.
She gasped for breath, her heart still pounding. "That person was Red Hero?"
Lu Yin grinned. "How was it?
How did you feel? "
Xiang Siyu said in a low voice, "I've never felt such a chill."
"I've heard that Red Hero was the greatest traitor to human civilization. I've thought about getting rid of him if possible, but …"
She didn't say anything more. She was just thinking about it. Lu Yin, on the other hand, was doing it.
Thinking and doing were two completely different concepts.
She finally understood the kind of pressure Lu Yin and the others were facing.
She couldn't even begin to imagine the strength of such an existence.
Lu Yin poured her a glass of wine. "Don't think too much. He's mine. Just focus on what you're doing."
Xiang Siyu looked at Lu Yin with a different gaze. This person was far more burdened than anyone else could imagine.
The boat continued down the river. Lu Yin was curious as to whether Northern Hero would be released again.
With this, Red Hero had already set his sights on him. He didn't care as he hadn't intentionally targeted Northern Hero. It was pure luck.
However, with Red Hero watching him, how could he encounter Northern Hero again?
After thinking about it, he couldn't completely ignore it.
Then …
The light boat instantly disappeared and randomly appeared in a river of the Red Coat civilization under the star. It restrained its aura.
Even with Red Hero's strength, it would take some time for him to find them, who had concealed their auras, unless he could unite with the will of this universe, which was impossible.
In a corner of the Red Shirt civilization, Red Hero frowned. Had they teleported away?
Had they left, or were they still here?
He turned to look at Northern Hero, whose five senses had been blocked. If he wanted this person to become the pillar of his Path of Ruthlessness, he had to let him go out to train. But what if Lu Yin didn't leave?
How did he find Northern Hero?
