Through Heaven’s Sight, Lu Yin clearly saw that Undying God’s sequence particles were nearly exhausted. He was also quickly consuming his divine energy and was not far from death.
Lu Yin went straight over, quickly arriving beside the Abyssal Flower, where Undying God saw him.
"I'm here. Where is Wu Tian?" Lu Yin asked loudly.
Within the blossom, Undying God stared at Lu Yin. "I have encountered this child from the Lu family many times, but this is probably our first time having a real conversation."
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back. "What do you want to say?"
"Haha, you're incredibly impressive, being able to come up with a plot to kill me, but I’m not too bad myself. I've been plotting to kill Wu Tian." Undying God spoke slowly, an incredible chill deep in his eyes.
Lu Yin frowned. "So, is Wu Tian really not dead?"
"No, it's not that easy to kill him. I’ve done my best, but I’ve unfortunately failed." Undying God clearly regretted his failure.
Lu Yin stared at Undying God. "Why do you want to kill Wu Tian?"
Undying God snorted and then laughed at Lu Yin. "Why? I am one of Aeternus’s Seven Skygods! I have cultivated divine energy and respect True God as the source of my cultivation. Why do you think I want to kill Wu Tian?
"Over the years, I have incurred countless blood debts in the Origin Universe. I was the one who created the desiccated corpses that hunted down those with ancient bloodlines. I wanted to eliminate all of the inheritances of those powerhouses from the Heavens Sect era. Heh, your Lu family is no exception!" With that, Undying God suddenly disappeared.
Big Sis’ expression changed. "Watch out!"
The Skygod appeared right before Lu Yin, already holding a blade. However, Mu Ke had kept his eyes trained on Undying God the entire time, as had the Lightning Lord and Fire Lord.
Despite Undying God’s close proximity to Lu Yin, it was practically impossible for the Skygod to touch Lu Yin.
Undying God used Inverse Step, repeatedly trying to move closer to Lu Yin. Flowers bloomed in front of him, and regardless of whether the man used his Drifting innate gift or Inverse Step, he could not get any closer.
Lu Yin silently stood where he was and watched. He was observing the miraculous usage of Inverse Step. Undying God used Inverse Step differently from the one that Lu Yin had learned. There was a greater variety, and the technique seemed to do more than simply produce a field of chaotic time and space.
Undying God kept using Inverse Step to try to get past Big Sis and the others. Attacks continued to strike the man, and his injuries grew increasingly severe, but he persisted in using Inverse Step.
At that moment, Lu Yin was drawn in by what he was seeing. He clearly observed the steps that Undying God took while using Inverse Step, as well as the changes he was producing. Lu Yin could see the entirety of Inverse Step.
What is this? Lu Yin’s head snapped up, and he stared at Undying God. The man was staring back at Lu Yin. A slashing attack appeared at the Skygod’s side, and his arm flew off. Flames burned his back, and attacks pierced his stomach. Lightning fell, shattering half of his head and taking an eye away. Still, the remaining eye continued to stare at Lu Yin, and it possessed a terrifying calmness.
When Undying God saw that Lu Yin was staring at him, the man suddenly stopped. He then deliberately raised a foot and took a step forward. As he did so, an illusory shadow appeared.
Lu Yin's pupils instantly shrank. This was the last change that Inverse Step could produce, and Lu Yin saw it clearly.
Undying God passed through the illusory shadow, and Mu Ke’s arm rose before dropping back down. At that same time, an indistinct shadow appeared and shot towards Undying God.
Undying God stepped past the vague shadow that he had emerged from. He skipped time to appear right in front of Lu Yin.
His actions startled Big Sis. "Little Seven!"
Lu Yin confronted Undying God face to face. Behind the Skygod was the shadow that Mu Ke had pulled out with Origin Tracer. This image represented a moment before the battle that Undying God had skipped. It was another moment where he had avoided being seriously injured, and given his current physical state, merging with this moment of time would guarantee his death.
Mu Ke thought that Undying God had used Inverse Step to skip time and find a chance to recover again. The fact that the Skygod had used the opportunity to get close to Lu Yin was unexpected.
Big Sis also had not even considered such a possibility.
Neither person had expected Undying God to use Inverse Step to skip time. After all, doing so was suicide.
Big Sis screamed.
Lu Yin calmly looked at Undying God.
Half of the man’s head was missing, his abdomen had been pierced, and his arms were ruined. The shadow was quickly approaching from behind, and its arrival would be Undying God’s moment of death.
Even so, the man just stared at Lu Yin and opened his mouth. "Be careful of Wei Nu and the Third Scourge."
He only managed to speak eight words before the shadow caught up from behind, merging into Undying God’s body. Cracks appeared all across his body, and blood spurted out from each one, splattering into outer space. The man’s already seriously injured body suffered grievous wounds once again, as the injuries that he had avoided by skipping time had been returned to him. Undying God’s body was completely destroyed.
He secretly smiled at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin stared at him in a daze.
"I want Wu Tian to die. Wu Tian must die.
"I don't regret all that I’ve done to the Origin Universe. It’s not my universe. I don't regret joining Aeternus or becoming one of the Seven Skygods. I'm no traitor. I'm not from the Origin Universe, and that place’s survival has nothing to do with me. All I want is for Wu Tian to die..."
A shrill voice echoed across the universe as Undying God’s body broke apart and slowly disappeared.
Throughout everything, Lu Yin never even moved. Undying God had never had any intention of attacking Lu Yin. He had only moved closer to speak those eight words.
The lightning disappeared, and the flames extinguished. The Abyssal Flowers vanished.
Big Sis hurried over to Lu Yin. "Little Seven, are you alright?"
Lu Yin stared into the void, Undying God’s voice still ringing in his ears.
Another Skygod had just died, but Lu Yin could not relax at all.
Undying God had certainly deserved to die. No matter what he might have said at the end, there was nothing that he could do to compensate for all of his sins.
Undying God had done more harm to the Origin Universe than any of the other Seven Skygods, severing multiple ancient bloodlines. He deserved his death.
The man had never cared about the life and death of the humans in the Origin Universe; he had only ever cared about Wu Tian. However, why did Undying God insist that Wu Tian had to die?
The Third Scourge. That was where Wu Tian should be.
Lu Yin felt a heavy burden settle onto him. Could Wu Tian have also betrayed the Heavens Sect? Aeternus had the Three Pillars and Six Skies; could one of them be Wu Tian?
However, even if Wu Tian had betrayed the Heavens Sect, why would that concern Undying God? He had never cared about the Origin Universe, and he was also a traitor.
Lu Yin could not understand the situation, but he knew that the answer was in the Third Scourge.
