c4097: Melee

Just as the pressure reached the point where it was about to crush the karmic wall, Lu Yin lashed out with a kick. The various afterimages that appeared were not due to speed, but from Lightstream connecting the various timelines so that all of Lu Yin’s power erupted at the same moment. That kick blasted the Immortal beast far away, jostling its mind. The monster did not even look back as it shot away. It was done fighting.

It had not even appeared here of its own will.

When Lu Yin saw the Immortal beast fleeing, he did not pursue it. Instead, he gripped the card in a hand and turned to face the droplet-shaped Verdant Sage.

The droplet-shaped Verdant Sage eyed the card. “Is that the Primordial card? I didn’t expect you to acquire it.”

It wanted to talk, which Lu Yin certainly did not mind. He also wanted to buy a bit of time. “It’s called Shan Barrens.”

“I know.”

“Do you know how I subdued it?”

“Human, every word out of your mouth tells me that you’re stalling.” With that, the droplet creature attacked. Droplets of water shot toward Lu Yin as Lifeforce surged and merged with Immortal matter. Each drop of water distorted space, containing enough power to crush countless stars.

Lu Yin sighed. If only he was facing a civilization that had no knowledge of humanity.

Force was the only way for him to buy time.

He slid to the side, taking the card with him. He vanished again and again as he used the River of Aeons. When its strikes continued to miss, the Immortal bug dispersed its body once more, using its cosmic law.

Lu Yin arched a brow. The Immortal monster could not be allowed to leave. Its absence meant that the full pressure of the Verdant Sage would fall upon him.

Unfortunately, the beast had already fled.

Helpless to change the situation, Lu Yin released his inner universe so that he could use Verdant Eternity to avoid being dried out.

The moment his inner universe appeared, droplets infiltrated it, shattering multiple stars. Lu Yin quickly withdrew it.

An Immortal’s unseen world aligned with cosmic laws. Contending against the cosmos itself with just his inner universe was a joke.

Lu Yin had merely been wanting to try, but his attempt had instantly failed.

With no alternative, he simply released his Lifeforce.

He was not an Immortal, which meant that his Lifeforce was not endless. Even so, that did not mean that he was defenseless.

Lu Yin unleashed his Tri-Azure Sword Intent again and again, slicing at the droplets.

The water droplets were countless, but even if they seemed endless, each one that shattered still hurt the Immortal Verdant Sage.

In this manner, two days passed. Finally, Lu Yin saw the battlefield that lay beyond the far edge of the Heavenly Karmic Macrocosm.

Ku Deng was still fighting with Kang Tian. The large snail was clearly stalling, as it was refusing to get involved in a direct confrontation. However, Ku Deng was unable to break through the snail’s defenses.

Just then, a spiral of karma shot at Kang Tian.

A blue sword flickered out from the distance. Lan Meng believed that Greater Sancte Green Lotus was intervening in the battle.

However, the spiral of karma was controlled by Lu Yin, who was receiving the support of the Heavenly Karmic Macrocosm. At the same moment that Lan Meng took action, so did Green Lotus.

Lan Meng was startled. Two strands of karma?

Greater Sancte Green Lotus had moved to block Lan Meng’s sword while Lu Yin was focused on weaving karma, reaching across the Heavenly Karmic Macrocosm to target Kang Tian. A tremendous amount of karma was consumed in the process, and that quickly caught the Immortal Lord’s notice.

They had thought that they had been keeping Greater Sancte Green Lotus restrained, only to discover that there was someone else at work.

In that moment, the cosmos pressed down, the pressure returning to crush the entire Aevum Inch. Awe Gate could not withstand the pressure, and she coughed up blood.

Greater Sancte Green Lotus immediately took back control of his Heavenly Karmic Macrocosm so that he could resist the Immortal Lord.

As for the Immortal Lord, Lan Meng had no idea what had happened. The creature could only sense that they had somehow been played.

After a moment, Kang Tian released distorted space from its shell, targeting Lan Meng. The tree-like creature immediately understood that they had somehow become Kang Tian’s enemy. What is going on?

Greater Sancte Green Lotus let out a pent up breath. Success.

Ku Deng froze. Kang Tian had actually attacked Lan Meng.

Awe Gate emerged from the Heavenly Karmic Macrocosm once more. “Kill Lan Meng.”

Ku Deng attacked Lan Meng without any hesitation.

At that moment, Lan Meng was facing an assault from three Immortals.

As that played out, the Immortal Lord hammered the Heavenly Karmic Macrocosm again and again. Green Lotus knew that the creature was enraged by the earlier ploy, but that meant nothing. Humanity was already enemies with the Nest civilization.

Outside the Tianyuan, Lu Yin’s eyes grew cold. His task had been completed. Next, he intended to release his full strength against the two Immortal insects.

Countless droplets tried to dry out Lu Yin’s body, reducing him to dust. He retreated into the Tianyuan, and right after that, the countless droplets battered against the karmic wall.

Lu Yin released his Karmic Dao and used the Tianyuan’s karma to strengthen the wall against the onslaught. At the same time that he sat down, cross-legged, a colossal phantom of him rose above the Tianyuan. He merged with the will of the megaverse, becoming one with it. As the droplet creature stared on in shock, Lu Yin threw a single palm strike out.

So you align with the laws of the cosmos? I align with the will of the megaverse.

I AM the megaverse.

Boom!

Countless water droplets were shattered as the Immortal Verdant Sage was forced back. It stared at Lu Yin in utter disbelief. What is this?

Lu Yin continued to attack the bug from a distance. He had the reach of a megaverse, and that was a power in and of itself.

Any joke that circulated through the Aevum Inch would shatter all cognition when it became real. At this moment, the droplet creature was questioning all that it had believed it knew.

Even the humanoid Verdant Sage, despite seeing Lu Yin merge with the Tianyuan, had not been nearly this shocked, as they had not experienced it firsthand.

It was not Lu Yin attacking, but rather the entire Tianyuan Megaverse.
