"For a legendary figure, he’s certainly shameless."
"From the legends, how shameless."
The man's expression changed quite drastically, and he glared into the distance. "Who? Who dares to call me shameless?"
Everyone in the area instantly fell silent. No one dared to say another word.
Nian Xian snorted and turned back to Lu Yin. "So, what do you say, Third Boss?"
Lu Yin stared back at Nian Xian. "What is your connection with Seraph Jiu Xian?"
The moment the question was asked, Nian Xian’s entire bearing shifted. The man revealed bitterness and resentment, while his voice revealed a strange mixture of excitement and passion. "She... she is my woman."
Lu Yin was taken aback. "Seraph Jiu Xian is your woman?"
In the distance, discussions broke out once more. This time, far more people participated. "Just as expected, he’s shameless. The most shameless person in the entire Spirit Nidus."
"Jiu Xian has never acknowledged any sort of relationship, but everywhere he goes, he always claims that she’s his woman. If it weren’t for the fact that he can run away so quickly, Jiu Xian would have dealt with him a long time ago."
"Shh! Keep it down! Don't let him hear you!"
"Shameless old thief."
"He’s destined to die alone."
Nian Xian heard everything, and his face turned red with rage. "Who said that? If you’ve got the guts, then step forward! If I don’t slap your face until it blossoms like a peach tree in spring, then my name isn’t Nian Xian!"
Lu Yin understood. This man was pursuing Jiu Xian, which meant that he wanted to take Qing Yun away from Lu Yin in order to please Jiu Xian.
Realizing this caused Lu Yin's face to fall. If Nian Xian wanted to fight for the position of Seraph, that would be one thing, but he was just here to make trouble to please another. How infuriating.
At that moment, a strand of pale-blue flame suddenly appeared. It passed through the void, moving straight for Lu Yin.
It was the fifteenth-ranked sequence technique: Everbright Flame.
Lu Yin released his inner universe to prevent any of the sequence particles from touching him.
The Everbright Flame almost entirely dissipated the moment it made contact with Lu Yin’s inner universe, though there was still a lingering thread of flame in front of Lu Yin.
This small distance was instantly crossed by the Everbright Flame.
Lu Yin swung a hand in attack, releasing a terrifying strength that shook the void as he moved to suppress the Everbright Flame. However, his efforts proved to be ineffective.
As soon as the Everbright Flame sequence particles manifested, they would burn everything within range. This domineering trait of the law of the universe was unmatched. This was why the Everbright Flame was ranked fifteenth.
Lu Yin could cause the flame to flicker, but unless he could completely extinguish it, anything the Everbright Flame touched would be set ablaze.
Seeing the slight burn mark on the Third Boss’s arm, You Xia released more of his Everbright Flame. The sequence particles were even more intense than before, and they resembled an enormous pale-blue serpent that struck at Lu Yin.
No matter how Lu Yin tried to dodge, the flame in front of him served as a marker for the Everbright Flame.
While the Everbright Flame’s overwhelming power allowed it to be ranked fifteenth, there were still limits to the sequence technique. If not, it would have left far more than a simple burn mark on Lu Yin’s arm; it would have incinerated his entire body.
The pale-blue serpent stretched across the sky, leaving blazes and annihilation in its wake. At the same time, a stream appeared beneath Lu Yin’s feet. The stream was as delicate as a painting, and there were traces of ice in the water. Nian Xian had attacked.
In the Wisdom Domain, Mr. Li’s expression turned grim.
Nian Xian was known as the Four Waters Immortal, a title earned due to his control over four distinct sequence techniques: Flowing Stream, Boiling Rain, Suppressing River, and Receding Sea. His goal was to merge these four universal laws into a singular sequence particle, a feat that had made him both feared and infamous.
If his efforts to create a new sequence technique succeeded, it could potentially rank eighteenth or nineteenth among the Spirit Nidus’s eighty-eight sequence techniques—enough to immortalize his name in history.
The cultivation system of the Spirit Nidus was vastly different from that of the Tianyuan Megaverse.
In the Spirit Nidus, from an early age, cultivators were conditioned to focus on the eighty-eight established sequence techniques, each of which had been refined over countless generations. This rigid and structured cultivation method left little room for deviation, and as a result, very few attempted to manifest their own sequence particle.
In contrast, the Tianyuan Megaverse fostered a culture of individual exploration, where powerhouses like the Three Realms and Six Daos had forged their own unique laws of the universe rather than comprehend existing ones. This fundamental difference created two vastly distinct cultivation ideologies.
When comparing the two approaches, the Tianyuan Megaverse had powerhouses who had pioneered their own devastating sequence particles, while the Spirit Nidus had its eighty-eight perfected sequence techniques. Among them, three of the highest-ranked were entirely self-created and were known as the Absolute Sequences—laws of the universe that were powerful enough to rival even the best innovations from other megaverses.
While there had been attempts to create new laws of the universe, such efforts were like waves in a vast sea—brief ripples that quickly faded into obscurity.
Among those who sought to defy this norm, Nian Xian was the most famous. Not just because he was a formidable Dukkhan, but also because... he was utterly shameless.
Everyone in the Spirit Nidus was well aware of just how shameless he was.
Many believed that Seraph Jiu Xian had chosen to fight in the Consciousness Megaverse simply to escape from Nian Xian’s relentless pursuit.
When he had requested to be sent to the Consciousness Megaverse as well, the High Seraph himself had personally denied the request.
Nian Xian had not done anything for a long time, and everyone was curious to see if he had actually managed to develop a new sequence technique.
The pale-blue serpent formed from You Xia’s Everbright Flame continued to move towards Lu Yin. At the same time, a Flowing Stream had appeared beneath his feet, freezing the void and preventing Lu Yin from moving or dodging.
Lu Yin suddenly moved down, stomping a foot right upon the Flowing Stream.
Nian Xian was taken aback. Was the Third Boss targeting him? The man had clearly already suffered terrible injuries. Did he still dare to challenge a Dukkhan?
The pale-blue serpent of flame fell upon Lu Yin from above, while the Flowing Stream coiled around his legs from below.
He was being pincered by two top experts.
Everyone watched with wide eyes.
Lu Yin raised a hand and grabbed hold of the pale-blue flame serpent. "Get down here!"
The flaming serpent was yanked down, forced into the Flowing Stream.
