Each of them had unleashed an attack comparable to Emperor Wu’s power.
Lu Yin’s consciousness stalled for an instant when all four Dukkhans’ attacks struck his body. The terrifying blows cracked his skin and drew blood. Without an overwhelming level of physical strength, Lu Yin’s body would have been shattered by the assault.
Lightstream flashed, and time rewound by one second.
Lu Yin moved at the speed of time with Inverse Step. However, even as he did so, his consciousness hesitated again.
His star of consciousness was holding back Yue Ya’s main body, but that did not mean that Lu Yin could restrain all of Yue Ya’s manifested thought.
Yue Ya was not able to overpower Lu Yin for very long, but he was still capable of briefly seizing control of him. Not even the High Seraph was immune to that.
With his defenses broken, Lu Yin instinctively retaliated: Setting Sun.
“A comprehension technique!”
Setting Sun incinerated all knowledge of martial arts. The four Dukkhans all coughed up blood, yet they still attacked Lu Yin.
No... Lu Yin stared at the four who surrounded him, as well as the rulers in front of them as he reviewed what had just happened. None of these four were capable of wielding the same level of strength as Emperor Wu. The power that they had unleashed had come from Lu Yin.
Those weapons were able to absorb power.
Lu Yin needed to use his consciousness to fight back against Yue Ya, who was as powerful as the High Seraph. Aside from his consciousness, the only thing that Lu Yin could use to fight back was his physical power.
Since those rulers were able to absorb his attacks, Lu Yin would have to find out just what their limits were.
Wielder - God battle force covered his body as his skin withered and Infinity flowed through his body. He met the four attackers with another four palm strikes.
Four thunderous impacts rang out. Again, the four Dukkhans were driven back, and the marks on their rulers nearly touched the end.
No matter how odd their technique might be, it was still a battle technique. It was impossible for it to truly transcend and reach the Immortal level. There was a limit to all battle techniques, and Lu Yin’s palm strikes had nearly touched that limit.
The four attackers stared at their rulers. “Again!”
The marks on the rulers dropped back down, and a surge of power passed through the spinning rulers, warping space as the attacks shot straight at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin had attacked with four palm strikes, and thus he had to endure the power of his own attacks as they were returned to him.
At that same moment, Yue Ya seized control of Lu Yin with his manifested thought, rendering the young man unable to defend himself.
However, Lu Yin had never intended to do so. These attacks were precisely what he had wanted.
His body accepted the full power of the four attacks, and his withered skin was restored to normal as Extremes Must Be Reversed absorbed the damage. His eyes lit up. Now!
Another four palm strikes flew out, and the first succeeded in instantly shattering a Dukkhan and his ruler. The force of Lu Yin’s attack had surpassed what the battle technique could absorb.
The other three attacks shot out in unison, but they drifted off target and shot past the three people to destroy vast portions of the universe.
Yue Ya had interfered again. He always managed to use his manifested thought to seize control of Lu Yin at a critical moment.
If not for Yue Ya, not one of the four Dukkhans would have survived. Even so, one had already died.
In the distance, the old man facing off against the Origin Progenitor was startled. “How can he resist Yue Ya’s manifested thought and still slay another opponent? This youth is a rare genius throughout all of history.”
The blade of the Origin Progenitor’s sword struck the ruler in front of the old man’s body, and the mark on the ruler rose by a notch. “After all, he is the ruler of my Tianyuan Megaverse.”
The elder shook his head. “Such a pity, as he will still end up disappearing. Still, his body may yet be able to stand at the top of the omniverse.”
“Really?” Verdant Eternity spread out to surround the Origin Progenitor.
The old man in front of the Origin Progenitor frowned, and his ruler spun furiously. “With the Nine Rulers as the axle, the sky itself shall turn! Nine-Rulers: Heaven-Defying Art!”
Boom!
The collision was powerful enough to shake the megaverse itself, and it instantly drew Old Chief’s attention.
The Luminary briefly hesitated before heading towards the newest battlefield. They were still in the Consciousness Megaverse, but the conscients home had been reduced to being someone else’s battlefield. Old Chief needed to understand which supreme experts had arrived.
Lu Yin had killed one Dukkhan, cowing the surviving three. For the moment, none of them dared to attempt another attack.
Their Nine-Rulers: Heaven-Defying Art was Ruler Garden’s signature technique, as well as its most powerful. Any attack could be absorbed, converted into power as long as it fell within the span of the nine chi, and then released. “Within nine chi, I am invincible” was the description of the members of Ruler Garden.
In theory, those nine chi could contain every power in existence and thus make one invincible. However, the amount of power that the technique could absorb varied with the strength of each cultivator using it.
Lu Yin had instantly surpassed the Dukkhans’ limit.
If not for Yue Ya, they would have all died.
There were people who refused to accept Seed Transfusion and instead sought to advance further on their own. However, entering Dukkha was impossible for most cultivators, no matter how long they lived for. These three Dukkhans had fought too long and hard for the opportunity to receive the spirit seeds that they had used for Seed Transfusion, and they did not want to die.
Seeing that he had intimidated three of his opponents, Lu Yin turned and focused on Yue Ya. At best, Lu Yin’s consciousness was able to hold back Yue Ya’s manifested thought, but that was not enough to defeat Yue Ya.
Even without any interference, if Lu Yin and Yue Ya fought to the death, Lu Yin would most likely end up losing. Yue Ya’s manifested thought was not only able to briefly seize control of Lu Yin, but it could also erode his mind.
Lu Yin could feel his mind growing restless and his movements growing sluggish. This was the result of his own thoughts being worn away. The longer this fight dragged on, the worse things would get for him.
