Step by step, Lu Yin was forced to retreat. Such overwhelming Lifeforce. He finally understood. It was no wonder Mister Mu and the others had been struck. It was not that the currents could not be evaded, but that they themselves were Lifeforce. Natural instincts would sense no danger at all, yet they were still attacks launched by the Immortal Lord. Even the slightest delay in instinct would result in being hit.
Once that Lifeforce entered one’s body, it was similar to the Activeness megaverse that they had once encountered; it was easy for the energy to overflow one’s body and cause them to explode.
Seeing the green stalk continue releasing Lifeforce, Lu Yin raised his scythe and slashed out again. Activeness, come out for me.
The surging Activeness rushed towards the green stalk, and the Immortal Lord retreated, astonished. What is that?
They were trying to cause the others to swell and burst with Lifeforce, while Lu Yin was using Activeness to attempt the same thing against the Immortal Lord.
The Immortal Lord stared at the scythe in Lu Yin’s hand. Is that an Immortal being?
At that moment, a sword sliced past. The Immortal Lord was a beat too slow, and the green stalk was ripped open in a corner by the passing blade. Jiang Feng had made his move.
The man was not capable of teleporting, but his attack was no less sudden than teleportation. It was born of that hard-to-grasp aura energy, as well as his cosmic law, Everything Begins From Nothing.
At this time, Mister Mu pressed both hands down, once again using the Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation.
The Immortal Lord’s green stalk shuddered once more. In an instant, their Nine Revolutions of Qianyuan expanded countless times, holding back the Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation while branches and leaves spread out from the green stalk, reaching down for Lu Yin and Jiang Feng.
Little Eighteen’s attacks had almost no effect. The Immortal Lord did not even care about the toad.
Lu Yin used Willforce to merge with the megaverse’s will, and then he threw a palm strike at the green stalk.
Lightning flashed before Jiang Feng’s eyes. By relying on Lifeforce and Immortal matter, he forced himself to endure the crushing pressure of the branches and leaves, even as he retreated step after step. The sword in his hand drooped, his eyes closed, and his breathing slowed more than ever.
"Lu Yin, you’re underestimating me! You can’t defeat me! Let me take Luo Chan away. Capturing it is meaningless—you have no idea what lies behind it." The Immortal Lord’s voice rang out. They had no desire to fight these people.
Just a short time ago, Greater Sancte Green Lotus had been the only human Immortal capable of fighting against the Immortal Lord. But now, others from that same civilization were attacking them.
None of their opponents were simple. Not even their Nine Revolutions of Qianyuan could suppress them.
This felt like when they had faced the Hui-Silver Sky Army.
Lu Yin suddenly unleashed his Karmic Dao. Strand after strand of karma fell, surging towards the Immortal Lord, who dodged them with ease. "Your karma is useless against me."
At that moment, a sudden, crushing pressure fell. Heaven's Sight released a power that suppressed all living creatures.
The Immortal Lord failed to defend themself in time and was pressed down slightly. Seizing this chance, Mister Mu raised his hand again. Cauldron, dominion.
This was not his Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation, but rather his mirebound artifact. At this moment, he also unleashed his cosmic law: Dominion, which could suppress all things in the cosmos.
The Immortal Lord was stunned. What sort of power was this?
The green stalk tried to evade, but Lu Yin swung Aberrant in a sweeping slash, and Activeness surged out with the force of a torrential river.
Blood was staining the corners of Little Eighteen’s mouth, and yet they still used Astral Anura’s Star-Plucking Hands.
Jiang Feng’s eyes snapped open. Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale. Inhale. He took a single step forward, his sword pointing into the starry sky. Clearly, it was no more than a single point, yet it was as though that point had struck the entire cosmos, forcing everything to bend toward one direction.
The move caused even Lu Yin to glance sideways. He had assumed that Uncle Jiang could only be considered an Immortal of average strength, but it appeared that things were not nearly so simple.
It also seemed that the cosmic law of Everything Begins From Nothing could do more than prevent opponents from escaping.
Boom!
The mirebound artifact descended, slamming into the green stalk and forcing it to bend. Cracks started to appear, and Mister Mu pressed both of his hands down, his expression growing solemn. With his cosmic law working in concert with his mirebound artifact, this method had forced even Hui to the point where it had barely been able to resist.
The Immortal Lord was very strong, but not even they were able to easily break free from this method.
It was at this moment that multiple strands of karma stabbed through the green stalk. Lu Yin stared at those strands. The Investiture of the Gods appeared behind him, and countless strands of sword intents sliced out: Tri-Azure Sword Intent: Hidden Blade.
"Humans, you’re courting death!" the Immortal Lord roared. Their originally soft and gentle voice suddenly became as violent as it thundered across the Aevum Inch. Countless strands of Tri-Azure Sword Intent suddenly froze, as though seized by some unseen force. At the same time, Little Eighteen, Jiang Feng, and even Mister Mu were flung back by that same invisible power.
Lu Yin teleported away. The void had split open where he had just been standing. He looked back and saw a phantom. Was that a green stalk? It looked perfectly identical to the original in every way.
He teleported again. More green stalks appeared everywhere throughout the region of the cosmos, each one ripping through the void and attacking reality.
It was an unseen world, the unique world of the Immortal Lord.
There was a thunderous bang as even the mirebound artifact was knocked away. The green stalk surged out, its green light filling the cosmos as though blossoms were blooming throughout the cosmos. Lu Yin and the others would be buried beneath those flowers.
Green Stalk Realm.
Lu Yin teleported again and again, carrying Mister Mu and the others away, only for the images of the green stalks to always remain around them. They seemed to fill the entire Aevum Inch.
Lu Yin clenched his teeth and teleported all the way back to the human megaverses.
No matter how vast the Immortal Lord’s unique world might be, could it really envelop the Heavenly Karmic Macrocosm?
It was finally time for the others to make their move.
Back in their original position, the Immortal Lord retreated without any hesitation after releasing their Green Stalk Realm. Having already lost Luo Chan, they could no longer teleport.
But just one instant later, two steel forks and a long spear stabbed at them from afar, piercing through the void. The three simultaneous attacks ripped right through the Green Stalk Realm, shooting towards the Immortal Lord.
They turned back. The green stalk’s branches and leaves pressed down, once again using the Nine Revolutions of Qianyuan. A single leaf shrouded the sky like a new world descending, and it brutally smashed down upon a distant point.
