Lu Yin, Old Chief, and the rest of the conscients were all pushed aside.
This was a clash between the most powerful individuals in the three megaverses, and all of their sequence particles were directly colliding.
Only at this moment was Lu Yin finally witnessing True God’s genuine power. If not for the fact that the Great Sovereign had sacrificed herself to trap Yong Heng within her Six Paths of Reincarnation Realm, the Heavens Sect would have never survived long enough in the Tianyuan Megaverse to have any say.
Lu Yin had no idea what Yong Heng had been waiting for. It was clear that he could have united the Tianyuan Megaverse much earlier, as not even the Great Sovereign would have been his match. Despite that, the Great Sovereign had ended up out-calculating Yong Heng, forcing him to flee to the Spirit Nidus.
Two terrifying streams of sequence particles collided like a storm. Both the High Seraph and Yong Heng slowly moved towards the other, each step they took shaking the cliff.
“You and I were originally allies,” the High Seraph stated.
Yong Heng met the man’s gaze. “So what?”
“I can take you up the cliff, provided that the others are all eliminated,” the High Seraph continued.
Yong Heng raised an eyebrow as he smiled, and his gaze shifted over to Lu Yin, clearly amused. “This is certainly quite tempting.”
Old Chief and the other Luminaries instinctively retreated. If this man joined hands with the High Seraph, there was no doubt that all of the conscients here would quickly die. Retreating was certainly the better option.
Lu Yin stared at Yong Heng. “Do you trust him?”
Yong Heng laughed. “More than I trust you.”
“Aren’t you afraid that he might change his mind?”
Yong Heng glanced back at the High Seraph. “That doesn’t matter.”
Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. As he had thought, Yong Heng alone was the High Seraph’s match. While the High Seraph’s power was incredible, was the same not true of Yong Heng? He had spent so many years in the Tianyuan Megaverse, constantly searching for mirebound artifacts. There was no doubt in Lu Yin’s mind that True God had to have something still hidden. He had been hiding in the Spirit Nidus, so the fact that he had chosen this moment to reveal himself was proof that he was confident that he could face the High Seraph.
The High Seraph felt a genuine threat from Yong Heng, but he also had no other recourse. Since this person had appeared, there was no avoiding him.
As for killing Lu Yin, that would not be easy. Despite Yong Heng’s agreeable response, he would not actually attack Lu Yin. On top of that, unless the High Seraph was mistaken, Lu Yin was in possession of Yi Shang’s mirebound artifact.
Given the opportunity, Yong Heng certainly would not mind killing Lu Yin, and Lu Yin felt the same about Yong Heng.
As the clashing sequence particles between the High Seraph and Yong Heng started to wane, Lu Yin flexed his fingers. “It looks like I’m being underestimated. In that case, let’s see if you can kill me.”
With that, he released his inner universe, and the instant he did so, a terrifying number of sequence particles erupted as a third contributor to the monstrous storm beneath the cliff. The turbulent clash stretched high into the sky.
The High Seraph was taken aback. What was this? He had never seen Lu Yin use laws of the universe before.
Yong Heng also frowned as he stared at Lu Yin’s overwhelming sequence particles. Where did these come from? Isn’t he just a Progenitor? It’s already absurd for a mere Progenitor to be strong enough to rival a peak Dukkhan. How could he have kept more hidden?
Old Chief and the others knew nothing about Lu Yin’s true cultivation level, but seeing him release such a terrifying number of sequence particles caused them to instinctively back away yet again. No matter where they looked, they seemed to be the weaker party.
From the top of the cliff, the two groups watched on in shock. Even in the Nine Odysseys Megaverse, such a terrifying amount of sequence particles was rare. This was a level of power that belonged to the Lesser Sancti. How were there so many experts in the Spirit Nidus?
These were the sequence particles that Lu Yin had obtained from the Rivers and Mountains Painting and the Impression Realm. After so many years, he had fully broken down both sequence bases.
The Rivers and Mountains Painting had been created from the sequence particles of seventy-seven Spirit Nidus experts who had cultivated the Near and Far Sequence Technique. The Impression Realm had been formed from the sequence particles of no fewer than 359 sequence powerhouses that had all cultivated the Impression Sequence Technique.
While neither of the sequence techniques were particularly powerful—in fact, they were practically useless against someone like the High Seraph—they still contributed a vast number of sequence particles.
With the sequence particles of more than 400 sequence powerhouses, Lu Yin feared no one when it came to quantity.
He had held back from using the sequence particles for so long because he had feared exposing the fact that he could break down sequence bases for his own use. However, there was no longer any need to hide that.
As Lu Yin thought of this, his eyes flared, and he fully released all of his sequence particles. As he did so, a storm raged into the sky as it swept out, targeting both the High Seraph and Yong Heng. When it came to pure quantity, Lu Yin surpassed both men, which left them rather stunned.
They could not make any sense of what they were seeing. Even if Lu Yin had lived for as long as either of them, it still would have been impossible for him to have cultivated such a vast number of sequence particles. However, he was exceptionally young.
Something was not right.
The High Seraph stared at the raging storm. Near and Far? Impression?There appears to be two streams of sequence particles, so how have they merged together? These should not be the sequence particles of a single person. How long has he been in contact with the Spirit Nidus? Even if he was already a Sequence Progenitor, it would be impossible for him to cultivate both laws of the universe simultaneously.
Something’s very wrong.
Lu Yin did not have time to allow the High Seraph to continue thinking about things. He shouted fiercely at Old Chief and the other Luminaries, “We’re from the Tianyuan Megaverse! You sent Xi to our megaverse to convince us to join forces with you against the Spirit Nidus. We’re finally here, so why haven’t you stepped forward to attack the High Seraph yet?”
Old Chief was badly shocked. “Are you really from the Tianyuan Megaverse?”
He had no idea who Xi was, but since this young man was from the Tianyuan Megaverse, he could naturally be regarded as an ally.
“Attack!” Lu Yin urged. He moved forward with Inverse Step, aiming at Yong Heng.
Old Chief and the other conscients stopped hesitating. They trusted Lu Yin’s words. After all, someone as powerful as the High Seraph had suddenly appeared. Everything about the current situation felt wrong, but it was true that this man was indeed the High Seraph’s enemy.
Besides, the High Seraph’s death was precisely their primary goal, despite the extreme difficulty.
Lu Yin did not expect the conscients to be able to kill the High Seraph, but given the combined strength of Old Chief and the other Luminaries, they could at least keep the High Seraph occupied and prevent him from climbing up the cliff.
Yong Heng glanced sideways at Old Chief and the other Luminaries. Then, Lu Yin appeared right before his eyes.
“Do you want to kill me?” Yong Heng asked as he watched Lu Yin attack. The older man easily dodged the blow. Moving at the speed of time was pointless against True God.
Lu Yin’s palm strike failed to hit anything, but he followed up with a Setting Sun—another comprehension technique. However, before he could fully unleash the Setting Sun, it was destroyed by a single sword swing. Yong Heng was holding a long sword in a hand, leaving afterimages of the blade as he swung it about. Each afterimage represented a temporal choice, and every time an image shattered, the position or timing of Yong Heng’s movements could be rechosen.
Lu Yin suddenly vanished, and Yong Heng’s sword images converged, all shattering at the same time. Even so, he failed to locate Lu Yin.
True God was astonished. Had Lu Yin actually managed to dodge all of his attacks?
Suddenly, True God moved away from where he had been standing. As he moved, a spiral of karma shot through the area. Lu Yin frowned. Another spiral of karma twined about his fingers before shooting at Yong Heng.
Yong Heng had always been a complete mystery, so Lu Yin wanted to use karma to learn about True God’s real motives.
The man always seemed able to find a way out.
Even after Aeternus was destroyed in the Tianyuan Megaverse and Yong Heng was trapped within the Six Paths of Reincarnation Realm, he had still succeeded in restarting his cultivation with a mirebound artifact spirit seed taken from Tian Ci. Yong Heng had returned to the peak in an incredibly short time. All along, he had known the truth about the Spirit Nidus. Just what was True God working towards?
