Lu Yin tossed it over to the old man.
Li Luochen's heart sank when he saw this. He could only watch as the ferryman was swept away by the miniature river of time towards the main river of time.
That old man had found a scapegoat.
Li Luochenwither roared in anger, not expecting someone to teleport to such an extent. He immediately tried to drag the main river over.
However, he wasn't the old man, and he didn't have the ability to affect the main river.
"Hehe, Li Luochenwither, as the ferryman of the dead universe's river, you should know what awaits you in the main river. This will be the last time we meet."
"Old man, I can't accept this!" Li Luochenwither roared.
But no matter how unwilling it was, it was still swept away by the River of Time in the end. Together with the captured ferryman of the River of Time, they disappeared together.
Li Luochenwither had too many questions, but in the end, he couldn't find an explanation.
The heavens quieted down.
The disappearance of the main river was grand and spectacular, even more majestic than the Core.
Lu Yin was most grateful that the descent of the main river hadn't crushed the Clear Skies Lock Formation.
As Li Luochenwither disappeared, he was the only one left in the heavens, the old man, Ji, and Red Hero.
There were quite a few experts on this battlefield.
Red Hero was the furthest away from them, and he hadn't made much of a move since the beginning.
"Hehe, little guy, how did you do it?
Did you leave behind a clone before breaking through to immortality? "The old man was curious.
Red Hero stared at Lu Yin, "No wonder you broke through to immortality so decisively and left yourself with only one last chance to attack. Wang Wen probably doesn't know about this."
"Using your clone as a fake.
Creating a new identity and calling yourself a new member of the Red Unknown. It looks like you're planning to attack me. "
Lu Yin looked at Red Hero, "You should have died long ago."
Red Hero looked at Ji, "What's the matter with him?" He then looked at the old man, "You know him, right?"
Ji had tried to interfere with the miniature river to drag the old man away. If Lu Yin could see it, then Red Hero could see it as well.
"Hehe, I don't know him."
Red Hero sneered, but he didn't refute. Don't know him?
Would a powerhouse from a dead universe take the initiative to help an unknown?
This was especially true since the old man had teamed up with Lu Yin first. They definitely knew each other, and Lu Yin was helping this old man. No matter how one looked at it, these three were definitely in cahoots.
Lu Yin suddenly teleported away.
Red Hero's eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously took out his portal to leave. However, a hand suddenly landed on the orange portal, blocking his path. It was Lu Yin.
Red Hero and Lu Yin looked at each other and threatened, "We're both unknowns. Do you want to break the rules?"
Lu Yin's lips curled up, and he exerted some force with his palm. With a crack, the orange door shattered and disappeared once more.
Red Hero abruptly turned his head. Behind him, Ji slashed out with the Black Moon Scimitar. This time, it was different from before. It carried a monstrous killing intent.
"Purple, attack!" Red Hero shouted. He still wanted to force the old man.
Hehe, the old man watched quietly from afar and did not move. "Hehe, this old man injured my waist in the battle just now. If I move again, I will collapse, just like you. Let's just watch this battle."
Ji slashed down, and the Black Moon Scimitar flowed with the power of death. Red Hero held the sword, and the edge reversed.
Pang
There was a loud bang.
Ji took several steps back, clearly not a match for Red Hero.
Red Hero was at the peak of two universal laws, and he had reached this level during the Ninth Defense Era.
If not for Master Green Grass and the others scheming against him, he might have broken through to the level of three universal laws.
Red Hero was at the top of his peers. The only one who could compare to him was the Abyss of the Death Universe, and that was the older generation's Abyss.
Ji had just become the Abyss, and his strength was still lacking. If not for the fact that he had absorbed enough power of death from the Ocean of Death, he would have been defeated even faster.
Red Hero did not want to fight at all. Regardless of whether he won or lost, it would only increase the karmic binding.
Unfortunately, he could not run away.
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Space cracked as the dark power of death swept towards Red Hero. Red Hero's body surged with divine power, but it was neutralized by the Clear Sky Lock Array. Below him, Lu Yin's avatar rushed out and sent a rainbow of divine power at Red Hero.
Red Hero waved his sword, and a ruthless red light flashed past, tearing apart the tri-colored divine power as it slashed towards Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was startled and dodged, but the red light pierced through the universe's stars and left a deep scar.
"Lu Yin, even in this Clear Sky Lock Array, your avatar that has yet to break through to immortality and that Death Universe creature are no match for me." Red Hero was confident. "If you stop now, I'll pretend that none of this happened."
Lu Yin exhaled deeply. Red Hero's blade pierced through the umbrella, and Heartless Sorrow acted as a sword. This was not a power that could be easily neutralized by the Clear Sky Lock Array.
The Ruthless Path was not like divine power or the power of death.
Red Hero had used the Ruthless Path in his body, and his 120% Ruthless Path was exceptionally powerful.
He was right. Under normal circumstances, even if Lu Yin and Ji worked together, they would not be able to defeat him in this Clear Sky Lock Array.
Thus, Lu Yin raised his hand and faced Red Hero with a palm strike from afar. Never forget the merit of the world.
Keep a thought, and in that moment, leave.
Let's use the Ruthless Path once.
Red Hero's twelve-point Ruthless Path had already been broken by five points, which were He Xiao, Parallel Order, Beauty Pill, Qing Lian Yu, and Forgiveness. As long as two more points were broken, his Ruthless Path would collapse.
Previously, Lu Yin had specially invited Jiu Wen to leave the Ruthless Path and return to the three universes. He had said that there was no need to break Red Hero's seventy-point Ruthless Path. These words were meant for Red Hero to hear, so that he could take away the people in Red Shirt under the Stars. They were the people of an entire universe.
Red Hero was ruthless enough to bury the people of an entire universe with the turbid blood pagoda forest, so much so that Jiu Wen was forced to sit in the blood pagoda forest and could not attack.
Lu Yin could not give up on those people.
At that time, Red Hero believed him because Lu Yin only had one chance to attack. If he was determined to kill Red Hero, there was no need to break Red Hero's seventy-point Ruthless Path. As for the others, they had to protect the people of the three universes and could not risk their lives to fight Red Hero. Thus, Red Hero was willing to let Lu Yin take away all the people in Red Shirt under the Stars.
If Red Hero had known that Lu Yin had an avatar that had not broken through to immortality, he would definitely not have let the people in Red Shirt under the Stars be taken away.
For Lu Yin, who had an avatar, breaking the seventy-point Ruthless Path was imperative.
There were only two remaining Ruthless Paths that could be broken. One was Ji He, and the other was West Upper Peak.
When Lu Yin took away all the people in Red Shirt under the Stars, he immediately asked Lu Suan to keep an eye on Red Hero at a distance of more than two hundred years away from the Red Shirt under the Stars universe. His goal was Ji He.
Once they left, there was no need for Red Hero to hide Ji He. Only then would Ji He appear.
At this moment, someone had taken care of Ji He.
As for West Upper Peak, Lu Yin did not want him to die or fall from immortality like He Xiao and the others.
Red Hero's Ruthless Path did not commit murder or do anything outrageous. He was just cruel to himself.
If he could stay, he would stay.
If Lu Yin wanted West Upper Peak to stay, there was only one thing he could do. That was to use the Not Forgetting in the World to let Red Hero walk the twelve-point Ruthless Path again.
Some things could succeed once, but it did not mean that they could succeed a second time.
It was not easy for Red Hero to complete the twelve-point Ruthless Path. If he tried again, he might not be able to complete it.
This was Lu Yin's way of giving West Upper Peak a chance. As for the success rate, he did not know. It would depend on Red Hero himself.
Lu Yin had thought of this when he learned the Not Forgetting in the World.
The Not Forgetting in the World had a certain restraining effect on the Ruthless Path.
This was the distance of a square inch. This was the universe. Everything reinforced and countered each other. There was no such thing as absolute invincibility. As long as one wanted to, one could try.
Red Hero did not expect Lu Yin to have mastered Nibie Luo's Not Forgetting in the World. He was caught off guard and was hit by a palm strike. His pupils dilated as time passed before his eyes. The Ruthless Path flickered with a red light, and he heard countless miserable cries. They came from the Red Shirt under the Stars universe and the Second Stronghold.
"Humans will not die. Even if the Base Master disappears, the Second Stronghold will fight to the last moment."
"Red Hero, you betrayed the Base Master. You will die a horrible death."
"Kill."
"Kill."
"Kill."
…
Countless familiar and unfamiliar voices traveled across the river of time and entered Red Hero's ears once again. His face turned pale as he heard and saw the familiar scenes of blood and fire fighting and the withering of life. These were the scenes of the Second Stronghold being massacred.
This was one of the things that he had entrusted his Ruthless Path to.
Once, he had betrayed the Second Stronghold.
Hong Shuang had caused both Hong Shuang and Emperor Qiu to be injured and disappear. After that, he had watched countless people die tragically in the Second Stronghold. On that day, the heavens had dripped with blood as all of his old friends had fallen. Countless people had cursed and wailed, and even more had fought.
But none of this could stop his steely heart.
The Ruthless Path required one to be heartless. The Base Master's path was wrong, and the Ruthless Path that he had chosen was right.
Only this way could he cultivate the Yin-Yang Burning Heavens Mirror.
He was the true Red Shirt under the Stars' Ruthless Path.
Red Hero's eyes were bloodshot as he saw countless people die tragically. So what if he had to do it all over again? He would still make the same choice. Those people had died just to continue the Red Shirt civilization under the Stars. Now that there was still a Red Shirt civilization under the Stars, their deaths were worth it.
If they did not die, how could he live on?
If his life withered, there would be nothing left.
Red Hero suddenly raised his hand, and a red sword beam swept across the heavens and earth. The Blackmoon Scimitar was deflected, and his eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Lu Yin. "I didn't do anything wrong. If I had another chance, I would still make the same choice.
"Life is destined to wither. No life can live forever, and you are no exception.
"They will die one day. Why don't I let them die with value so that they can fulfill my wish?"
Lu Yin's gaze was cold. Without another word, he struck out with his palm. It was still the Unforgettable Technique.
This time, Red Hero dodged. He held a red sword in his right hand and a dark red mirror in his left. It kept spinning in his palm. "Lu Yin, you've always wanted to understand the Yin-Yang Burning Heavens Mirror. Today, I'll show you."
As he spoke, a red beam shot out from both sides of the mirror and shot into the sky. Then, as if they had a mind of their own, they connected.
Lu Yin quickly dispelled it with Clear Sky. A ball of fire appeared in the starry sky. It was a faint red color and seemed gentle.
However, it was burning the heavens and earth and the Clear Sky and Earth Lock Formation.
Lu Yin could clearly feel the Clear Sky and Earth Lock Formation swaying as it was being burned.
