Within Xiang City, Lu Yin appeared. His face had long since become a god, and there were statues of him everywhere. It was Tuo Lin who had molded him into this appearance.
When he had broken through to immortality, he could have controlled Xiang City, but he had been in a hurry to fight the Samsara Master and the other powerful enemies. He had also been wary of You Che, which had led to the delay.
Now, it was time for him to take control.
The statues glowed brightly and shot into the sky before finally converging on Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked down at Xiang City from above.
In this city of mortals, he was the only one who had a cultivation base.
Everyone within Xiang City knelt down in worship.
Tuo Lin was moved. "Master."
Yan Ruyu swayed continuously.
Lu Yin's gaze constantly changed as he appeared within each statue. Finally, his body descended, and the moment he stepped onto the ground of Xiang City, he felt a sense of control.
He could control Xiang City now.
Lu Yin didn't have much time to think. He stepped out once more, turned around, and raised a hand. The giant Xiang City gradually shrank until it fell into his palm. At the same time, he threw the stone golem into the city and teleported away.
When he reappeared, he was already in the three universes.
Lu Yin took a deep breath. Xiang City, I hope you can truly protect the three universes.
The next moment, countless people saw a shocking scene.
A city wall stood tall in the universe.
Earth appeared beneath his feet.
A street cut across the universe, heading towards the Heart of Space.
This was an extremely spectacular scene. There were three universes, not just one. Although the spiritualized universe did not need to be taken away because it had been rebooted, it was closer to the Tian Yuan Universe. If one wanted to take away the Nine Heavens Universe, they would have to pass through the spiritualized universe.
Regardless of whether it was the two universes or the three universes, the distance was the same.
The three universes.
At his current level, they were not that big. Even without teleportation, he could reach them quickly, and his attacks could reach even further. He might not be any weaker than Red Hero and the others.
However, that was only possible with his own strength or attacks. Xiang City was different; it was a turbid treasure, not his own strength.
Lu Yin controlled Xiang City to expand infinitely, wanting to cover all three universes.
This seemed impossible, as Lu Yin hadn't been in control of Xiang City for very long. Controlling Xiang City required not only consciousness and the city's acknowledgment, but also a certain amount of heartforce. Fortunately, Lu Yin just so happened to possess heartforce, which he had obtained from You Che.
There was a Heartforce Star in the void of his heart.
Qing Lian Yu and the others couldn't even take care of themselves at this moment. They had no ability to help him at all. They couldn't even ask for answers. Their powers were in chaos.
Lu Yin used his true body's full strength to attack, and it spread throughout Xiang City. The karmic restraints on his wrist slowly increased, and he finally used his final chance to attack.
He hoped that after this attack, the three universes would be safely separated.
After Xiang City enveloped the Tian Yuan Cosmos, it expanded outwards, but it didn't take long for it to stop. Lu Yin's eyes moved, and his Heartforce Star slowly rotated as it surged towards Xiang City.
Xiang City expanded once again.
Behind Lu Yin, the Divine Seal Catalog appeared, and his consciousness surged out as he headed towards Xiang City.
In the Continent of the Nine Clouds, some people saw the city walls and were astonished.
After all, Xiang City covered three universes. The distance between the three universes was very far. It would take an ordinary Eternal Life Realm expert a year to reach there.
At the very least, Lu Yin had never seen such a large city before.
He wondered how big Ninth Base used to be.
Xiang City was still the same Xiang City. The streets, shops, and people inside overlapped with the three universes. The people in the three universes could see the people inside.
The people on the surface couldn't see the people from the three universes.
When Xiang City completely covered the Nine Firmaments Universe and the Tian Yuan Universe, Lu Yin's face paled, and he couldn't help but look at his wrist.
The karmic binding was still increasing, but it was no longer enough to kill powerhouses on the same level.
Was this the end of his road?
He couldn't do what Ninth Base had failed to do.
"You've finally taken control of Xiang City." A familiar voice entered his ears.
Lu Yin's body shook, but he didn't seem surprised. "You really didn't die, You Che."
This voice belonged to You Che.
This was someone who should have died, but hadn't.
You Che was astonished. "How do you know I'm not dead?
That shouldn't be. My body died in the war with the Death Universe, and my Heartforce died at your hands. How can you be sure that I'm not dead? "
Lu Yin looked at the situation inside Xiang City. As Xiang City enveloped the two universes, the people of the Nine Firmaments Universe and the Tian Yuan Universe calmed down.
Xiang City could indeed resist the changes in the outside world.
This further proved that during Ninth Base's era, humanity's greatest enemy wasn't the various civilizations, but rather the existence of the Master Path.
"During the war with the Death Universe, Trickery and the toad didn't make a move. Only Leku alone wasn't enough to kill you."
"You intentionally sought death. Your goal was to numb me so that I could take control of Xiang City, and your other goal was to escape the unknown."
You Che smiled. "Smart, but there's one thing you're wrong about. I'll never be able to escape the unknown."
Lu Yin suddenly looked in the direction of Xiang City.
Now that Xiang City had expanded to cover three universes, it hadn't increased the number of people or the number of streets. Instead, the original number of streets and shops had been expanded infinitely. Every shop far surpassed Heaven above Heaven, and every person was like an indomitable giant.
Three universes.
The people here could choose to see or not see it.
In fact, they were like ants living in a huge city.
Lu Yin didn't know how Xiang City's turbid treasures had been born, but it was very strange.
He looked in the direction of Xiang City's river bridge, where You Wu had once been. Now, there was a new water plant there that looked exactly like You Wu in Xiang City.
It wasn't You Wu, but You Che.
The one who had spoken was You Che.
Lu Yin was confused. You Wu really did exist, and he had walked out of Xiang City. What had happened with You Wu wasn't wrong, but why had You Wu taken the form of You Che in Xiang City?
Was this how You Che had wanted to seize Xiang City?
"You Che, you used the Heart Exchange Sect's technique to let me confirm your death, but you refused to tell me how you seized Xiang City. It must have something to do with Senior You Wu, right?
"I, You Che, am the most talented person in the history of the Fifth Stronghold. I can't compare to anyone in my generation. Aside from the Formless Sky Technique and a series of mental techniques, I also created a mental technique. Although it's not an invincible technique, it surpasses invincible techniques.
"Everything in the world has an endless Inverse Law that uses reversals as a medium. The more things develop in accordance with the law, the more the Inverse Law will appear.
"Why do you think You Wu was able to survive until then and still talk to you?
Why do you think Mt. Dongxu showed you the past?
"You're wrong. Mental techniques are born from the heart. What is the heart?
No one can give you an answer, not even the Fifth Stronghold.
"The heart moves as it pleases, and the heart manifests itself in actions. It can be both positive and negative.
"With this mental technique, the more You Wu acknowledges you and the more his heart leans toward you, the more the Inverse Law will appear.
Yes, it will appear. I have placed it in Xiang City. "
"I'm dead. Be it my physical body or my Heartforce, they're all dead. But this Inverse Law has become another me.
"This is a height that even the Fifth Stronghold has never reached. I don't care about this invincible technique at all. I have my own invincible techniques, and all I care about is Xiang City. Only by obtaining Xiang City can I continue moving forward.
"Lu Yin, you're the only key to my success. For this, I won't give up even if I'm in real danger of death.
"In the end, I still won. You can't control Xiang City. This Heartforce still belongs to me." With that, You Che was about to seize the Heartforce Constellation.
Xiang City became unstable at this moment, and Lu Yin's statues started cracking.
Lu Yin said in a low voice, "You can seize Xiang City if you want, but look outside first."
After a moment of silence, You Che was shocked. "Why is that incense stick here?"
Lu Yin sneered. "Not only that, but this area is in complete chaos. Time is in chaos, space is in chaos, karma is in chaos, and even fate is in chaos. A person's life is no longer in control, and death is unpredictable.
"The Master Path's power."
"That's right. Why else do you think I'd still control Xiang City when I guessed that you weren't dead?
I want to ensure the safety of the three universes. "
You Che had not expected things to turn out this way. His plan had almost succeeded, but it had happened at this moment.
Lu Yin wanted to laugh. "You Che, you're smart and patient, but so what if I give you Xiang City? Are you going to face that Master Path's power alone?
Do you think you can leave without my Teleportation? "
Xiang City shook.
The chaotic energy within the area was converging towards the incense stick. The incense stick seemed to be …
It was the source of all chaos.
The Yearning Rain had brought misfortune to human civilization, and it had begun with this incense stick.
The greatest change in the Square Inch Distance would be with the three universes as the center.
You Che was shocked. "Lu Yin, leave immediately. You can't fight it head-on. Xiang City won't be able to hold on either."
"I know. The Master Path's power is beyond my understanding, but I've been targeted. Teleportation isn't omnipotent."
Lu Yin said solemnly. Outside Xiang City, the figure with the incense stick appeared once more. It had been lured over by Xiang City.
Lu Yin could teleport away with Xiang City and the three universes. A universe was a concept of range, and Lu Yin didn't know how it could move, but it definitely had something to do with the Mother Tree. Even if he didn't take the Mother Tree with him, he could still take everything in this space with him.
Xiang City could do it.
However, it was very difficult for him to leave right now. That figure was still watching him.
"That's the Master Path's power of life. Don't fight with it. It's undying," You Che reminded him.
Lu Yin frowned. "It's watching me. I can't run."
You Che said, "It's trying to find a way to sever your lifeline. Use your own power to strengthen it so that it can't sever it."
"The Master Path's power seems mysterious, but even Jiu Lei was trying to find a way to break it."
"This is a way to resist Life Drain."
Lu Yin didn't understand what a lifeline was, but he could only trust You Che. You Che had experienced the War of Jiu Lei, so he must have come into contact with the Master Path's power.
Vitality surged like the clouds of the nine heavens. Lu Yin raised a hand, and a huge force rumbled through the void. Wish swept out, and karma filled the entire city. At the same time, he opened his Celestial Eye, and purple light bloomed around his body like a lotus.
Released force.
Quantity was disappearing, as if there was an invisible mouth devouring him.
Lu Yin immediately used green light to scan his surroundings, and the feeling of being devoured finally subsided.
