This chill was terrifying to the point of despair, and it couldn't withstand it at all. Its opponent could kill it with a single thought.
It didn't even dare to move, as if it was dead.
At that moment, time seemed to drag on, and it experienced the feeling of being on the brink of death.
The next moment, the Butterfly Ancestor disappeared and chased after Lu Yin.
The disc's owner was stunned for a moment before regaining his senses. He stared in the direction that Lu Yin and the Butterfly Ancestor had disappeared.
They had left.
Only then did the disc regain its senses and relax. It then rushed in the opposite direction as fast as it could.
It hadn't expected to encounter something like this, and it had almost died.
Either one of those two could easily kill it, but they hadn't killed it because they didn't want to be bound by karma.
However, karma could not guarantee its own safety.
It had to run as far away as possible.
Right, when the Butterfly Ancestor passed by, did a starry sky appear?
It saw countless stars revolving, but it couldn't understand how powerful such an existence was.
On the other side, Lu Yin hadn't expected to encounter a Crack Sky here. He didn't know if it was the real thing or if it was just a fishing civilization using it as bait. Regardless, it couldn't help him. Even if there was a fishing civilization behind it, it would be too late.
He didn't want to waste any more energy, so he had to hurry to the cosmic civilization ahead.
The Butterfly Ancestor had also seen the disc's Crack Sky, but it ignored it as well.
It wanted to kill Lu Yin because he wasn't an Eternal Realm cultivator. If he was, then it wouldn't have chased after him so desperately.
The power of stillness was about to run out.
The Cosmic Art's stars scattered one by one.
It could no longer affect the Butterfly Ancestor Mainland's attacks on the sourcebox arrays.
Lu Yin used all of the remaining power of stillness to cover the sourcebox arrays around him, hoping to use them to escape to that cosmic civilization.
That cosmic civilization couldn't help him, but there was a tributary of the River of Time there.
He wanted to use the tributary as a threat. If the Butterfly Ancestor wanted to kill him, then he would do his best to draw down the Master River of Time. When that happened, the Butterfly Ancestor and Myriad Trickery didn't want to face each other.
He had appeared on the Butterfly Ancestor Mainland to collect materials for the Death Universe and help Li Luochen avoid being drawn down by the Master River of Time.
If the Master River of Time was drawn down, then Myriad Trickery wouldn't want that to happen either.
If you didn't want to help, then you had to help.
Metal Qi descended from the Butterfly Ancestor's back.
Thump thump thump thump..
The four sourcebox arrays shattered.
The four colorful butterflies flew out and entered the Core, following the Butterfly Ancestor as they chased after Lu Yin.
As long as they caught up to Lu Yin, the Butterfly Ancestor wouldn't even need to do anything.
No one could withstand the absorption of so many Butterfly Love Flowers.
At this moment, the power of stillness was Lu Yin's life-saving treasure. He looked back and saw the Butterfly Ancestor and the four colorful butterflies. He gritted his teeth and charged forward.
In the starry sky, countless strands of golden energy slashed down.
Some belonged to the Butterfly Ancestor, and some belonged to the four colorful butterflies.
They wanted to use the Myriad Metal Qi to exhaust the power of the deathly stillness and break through the sourcebox array.
Lu Yin could only dodge as he moved forward.
He was getting closer and closer to that cosmic civilization. On the surface of his body, the power of deathly stillness began to dim, and the sourcebox array was on the verge of disappearing.
Lu Yin could only try his best to evade, occasionally using Yama's First Needle so that the Butterfly Ancestor and the others could see it and delay their attacks.
But no matter how much he delayed it, the power of the deathly stillness had reached its limit.
There was still a bit left, and Lu Yin needed to maintain his skeletal body's movement. Otherwise, if there was no more deathly stillness in his body, this skeletal body would not be able to survive. He was only able to survive because of the Bone Whispers, which were based on the power of the deathly stillness.
In the distance, Enigma of a Thousand Trickeries looked up. It had reached its limit.
The deathly stillness around Lu Yin's body disappeared.
The sourcebox array dimmed on his bones.
Suddenly, four more Butterfly Love Flowers appeared on his body.
Seven.
A total of seven Butterfly Love Flowers.
The absorption of spiritual energy, as well as the exhaustion from all the years of escaping, almost caused him to collapse.
The power of the Butterfly Dance descended, but the bones on his body shattered, and his body was sent flying into the distance by the powerful attack.
The Butterfly Ancestor and the others saw the cosmic civilization in front of them, but they didn't care. Under their control, whatever Lu Yin wanted to do would be useless.
Vitality surged around Lu Yin's body and condensed into Yama's First Needle.
The Yama's First Needles pierced towards the Butterfly Ancestor and the four colorful butterflies.
This successfully restrained them for an instant.
Lu Yin used this opportunity to approach that universe once more.
However, the power of the Butterfly Dance forced him to stop, and he was even sent flying in the direction of the Butterfly Ancestor and the others.
Lu Yin forcibly withstood the pressure, and his white bone clone was in an even worse state than when he had been attacked by the Stygian Prison Bone. If not for the three black scales that were stuck in his bones and preventing them from shattering, he would not have been able to move.
Two more Butterfly Dance, and he would be dead for sure.
His main body … Did he really need his main body to come?
He could not afford to lose his white bone clone.
Lu Yin gritted his teeth. That universe was right in front of him and not far away, but he could not rush there in time. Even if he did, he would have to find a tributary of the River of Time. Although it would be fast, he would not even be able to make it in time. The Butterfly Ancestor would not give him that time.
Death or his main body. He only had two choices.
He stared blankly at the universe in front of him, and the two choices flashed through his mind countless times.
Suddenly, he stared at the universe in front of him in shock. What was that?
Bang! Bang!
Bang! His bones shattered, and he was sent flying once more. The Butterfly Dance had dealt the most damage to him, and most of his body had been shattered by the Butterfly Ancestor's three attacks.
He stabilized himself with great difficulty and looked at the Butterfly Ancestor, "I'm not going to the Grandmaster Continent for the Taiqing Civilization."
The Butterfly Ancestor paused, "What did you say?"
Lu Yin stared at the Butterfly Ancestor, and his vitality surged out as he tried his best to protect himself, "I'm not going to the Grandmaster Continent for the Taiqing Civilization. The Death Universe sent me there to deal with you."
The Butterfly Ancestor sneered, "I have no bones."
"Do you know the Seven Abyss of the Death Universe?"
"No, and I don't want to know."
"The Seven Abyss are the seven strongest existences in the Death Universe. They are all peak powerhouses that are compatible with two laws of the universe."
The four butterflies were shocked. They were all peak powerhouses that were compatible with two laws of the universe?
Seven?
How was that possible?
The Butterfly Ancestor fell silent, as it really did not know. The only thing it knew was that the universe was very powerful and represented death. It could allow a creature's bones to form their own life and not be affected by karma. It did not dare approach, but since it had no bones, it could not be affected.
Lu Yin sneered, "Do you think you're safe just because you don't have any bones?
Let me tell you, there's a creature in the Seven Abyss called Soft Devouring Tracer. It's a creature that can split itself, and because of that, it was captured by the Death Universe and transformed into the Abyss. It helps the Death Universe search for eternal life and increase the number of Eternal Realm existences in the Death Universe.
"And you've been targeted because of the Butterfly Love Flower."
The Butterfly Ancestor was bewildered. "Do you think I'll believe you?"
"What's the point of lying to you?"
"You want to live."
"But that information can't be exchanged for my life."
"Your goal is the Taiqing Civilization. I've been watching you ever since you entered the Butterfly Ancestor Continent. There's no mistake."
Lu Yin sneered. "If those colorful butterflies under your command can openly monitor the Tai Qing civilization's sourcebox array to protect your weakness, then why can't I openly search for the Tai Qing civilization to conceal the fact that I want to confirm your weakness?"
"There's one more thing I need to tell you. Our battle was under the watch of a certain Abyss."
The Butterfly Ancestor was uneasy because Lu Yin's words were true.
It had always felt like something was watching it, which was why it hadn't dared to reveal its true body. Instead, it had continued to delay Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's words were exactly the same as what it had sensed. There was definitely someone watching it from the shadows.
Lu Yin sighed when he saw that the Butterfly Ancestor did not refute him. No matter how far away Trickster was, the Butterfly Ancestor should have been able to sense him as long as he was watching them. Even if the Butterfly Ancestor was weaker than Trickster, it should still have been able to sense him. It was also not like Lu Yin, who had not even reached the Eternal Realm.
"If you kill me, you can temporarily hide your weakness, but the Death Universe will still send creatures to your Butterfly Ancestor Continent. You won't be able to escape, but if you don't kill me …" Lu Yin stared at the Butterfly Ancestor. "I'll help you hide your weakness and do my best to make the Death Universe give up on you."
After he finished speaking, he charged into the universe in front of him.
Lu Yin's goal was to give the Butterfly Ancestor some time to hesitate. This was the time that Lu Yin had bought for himself, which would allow him to enter the universe in front of him.
The Butterfly Ancestor was not in a hurry to act, as it was truly hesitating.
It was terrified that the Death Universe had targeted it, and there was definitely someone watching it from the shadows.
If it could not find the other party, then it had to be the Abyss.
"Ancestor, he's running away," Cai Die reminded.
The Butterfly Ancestor stared ahead, "Junior, stop."
Lu Yin was very obedient and stopped. He was not far from the universe in front of him, and he only needed one more step to enter.
However, Passing the Butterfly Flower did not require even one step.
His life was in the Butterfly Ancestor's hands.
"Who's watching me?"
"Trickster of a Thousand Trickster."
In the distance, Trickster of a Thousand Trickster's mouth twitched. This fellow had betrayed him without hesitation.
From the looks of it, he really wanted to charge into that universe. Had he discovered something?
"Trickster of a Thousand Trickster?"
"It's one of the Seven Great Abyss, and it's the one that has survived the longest and is the strongest. After all, it won't be easy to deal with you even if it's compatible with two universal laws."
The Butterfly Ancestor did not know if Lu Yin was telling the truth, "If it's watching me, even if I don't kill you, how will you help me hide it?"
Lu Yin answered, "It's simple. I said that you can fuse the power of ten colorful butterflies into one and reach the peak of two universal laws, or even three. In any case, your Butterfly Ancestor Continent definitely has ten colorful butterflies, no more and no less. You can even transfer the Butterfly Burial and Butterfly Lusting Flowers statuses. All of this is true.
"As long as the Death Universe believes me, no Abyss will bother you. They'll either invite you to join them or ignore your existence. Otherwise, they'll have to think twice before trying to find you."
With that, he stepped forward and entered the universe in front of him.
The Butterfly Ancestor barked, "Stop, or I'll kill you."
Lu Yin did not move, as he had already reached his destination.
He was under the Mother Tree of a cosmic civilization, and there was a door not too far away. It was the Unknown Portal.
