Fortunately, he was already experienced at absorbing memories due to all the different creatures he had Possessed before. That was essentially the same as what Lu Yin was experiencing with the Willbound Spire. He was quite familiar with the process, so even if his consciousness had not reached the Universe level, he still would have been able to bear the memories.
Lu Yin soon started moving again, and he turned his head to look up at the palace atop the cliff. Since he had absorbed a memory, he should be considered one of the Consciousness Megaverse’s Thirteen Luminaries, even if the title of “Thirteen Luminaries” was nothing more than a designation.
Over the years, there had been no shortage of conscients who had failed to absorb the memories and who had vanished forever.
Unfortunately, the memories that Lu Yin had received contained no valuable information at all. They were nothing but the observations of a civilization of odd creatures reproducing, surviving, and developing.
At the moment, Lu Yin wondered if the memories might actually belong to the megaverse. After all, who else would be bored enough to observe a group of odd creatures for so long?
Yet again, the scenery shifted around him, and Lu Yin understood that he was about to be ejected from the Willbound Spire.
This was the same manner in which Wu Wei and the others had all been treated; after receiving memories, they had been ejected from the Willbound Spire. Of course, it was possible to re-enter, but that necessitated going through the entire process again.
As everything shifted around him, Lu Yin saw the door of the thatched hut, the trees outside, and even a massive pair of huge eyes that were staring at him in astonishment. Is that really Emperor Slayer?
Lu Yin was completely surprised to see Emperor Slayer squatting on the ground in a dumbfounded manner as soon as he was ejected from the Willbound Spire. Had the beast just gotten up from the ground?
Behind Emperor Slayer, a massive surge of consciousness roared towards them. Old Chief and the other Luminaries were attacking, along with Shuangdao.
As soon as Shuangdao saw Emperor Slayer, he had sent a message to the other Luminaries. Right after Old Chief and the others had trapped Boundless with their Endless Road, they had raced back, but they had still been too late. The High Seraph had already entered the Willbound Spire. Lu Yin had no idea what the High Seraph was doing inside, but the man did seem to have some knowledge of the place.
Lu Yin stood right at the hut’s threshold with Emperor Slayer squatting in front of him. From the distance, Old Chief and the other Luminaries watched the two invaders as a terrifying surge of consciousness descended upon them.
Emperor Slayer was still shaken by Lu Yin’s sudden appearance when he finally sensed the consciousness falling towards them. He looked up and was shocked by what he saw. "I'm doomed! Doomed! Everyone here is an enemy."
He reflexively attempted to charge back into the Willbound Spire, only for his face to be met with a foot.
Lu Yin kicked Emperor Slayer straight in the head. "Go draw them away for me."
Emperor Slayer reacted instantaneously. While Lu Yin’s foot had struck the beast’s forehead with enough force to fracture his skull, Emperor Wu still managed to grab a hold of Lu Yin’s leg tightly and cried, "Don’t leave me behind, Big Brother! Ancestor!"
Lu Yin frowned, but just as he was about to be a bit more forceful, Emperor Slayer shouted, "I’ve seen the Anura Clan! They’re absolutely terrifying! I’ve seen them, and I'll tell you everything I know! I'll share everything!"
Lu Yin looked up just as the sea of consciousness was about to strike them. Emperor Slayer was instantly stunned. After all, they were being attacked by several of the Thirteen Luminaries working together.
As for Lu Yin, he just staggered slightly. He then proceeded to drag Emperor Slayer into the Willbound Spire.
Seeing Lu Yin continue to move startled Old Chief and the others. How could someone withstand being struck by such a terrifying amount of consciousness? Just who was he?
Everything had happened so quickly that none of them had been able to properly react.
Shuangdao had been the first to emerge from the hut, and he had immediately been followed by Emperor Slayer, and then Lu Yin. Lu Yin’s exit had coincided with the moment that Old Chief and his group had arrived, but everything had happened in a mere instant. Aside from Emperor Slayer uttering a few words, there had been no exchange whatsoever.
As Lu Yin dragged Emperor Slayer back into the hut, Old Chief and the others arrived in the hut’s yard, and they gathered beneath a tree just a short distance from Shuangdao.
There was still blood staining the conscient’s neck, and he was also breathing heavily. It was clear to everyone that he had just fought, and fear could still be seen in his eyes.
The Luminary had a rough and rugged appearance, yet his nature was surprisingly delicate. He had learned what it meant to be thoroughly suppressed while fighting against Lu Yin, and he was still badly shaken.
"Who is that man?" Old Chief demanded as he looked over at Shuangdao.
The other Luminaries all stared at Shuangdao as well. They were quite upset, as they had seen how Shuangdao had not attacked despite his close proximity to Lu Yin outside the thatched hut.
It was while staring at him that they noticed his pale face.
Shuangdao looked back at Old Chief. "Were you successful?"
"Of course."
Shuangdao bitterly replied, "You may have succeeded, but you also failed."
"What does that mean?"
Old Chief quickly understood, and blurted, "Is that man the mysterious expert that we were trying to stall?"
