Right as Emperor Wu was about to retaliate, the burning power of the Setting Sun emptied his mind. All that he could see was the blazing sunset as the comprehension technique struck him.
At the same time, Lu Yin raised a hand high and slammed it down upon Old Salamander with enough force to cause the ground to tremble. The sky switched places with the ground as Lu Yin used Flipping the Sky.
Old Salamander roared as his body was pressed against the ground of Lu Yin’s Dust World and violently smashed into the ground. The beast’s roar cut off midway, as it was completely blocked.
Lu Yin dropped down and stood upon his Dust World, staring down at Old Salamander in the ground beneath him. "If you don't want to talk, then I'll leave you wishing that you had never been born."
Old Salamander looked up as his severed claws rapidly regenerated. "I am the Five-Clawed Celestial Salamander."
Sharp claws sliced up through the ground, reaching for Lu Yin.
Behind Lu Yin, Emperor Wu, in a fit of rage, swung his serrated blade sideways, attacking once more.
Universe-level consciousness howled as the Skyshearer Millstone made a reappearance. Despite having time to prepare and already expecting Emperor Wu’s attack, Lu Yin’s Skyshearer Millstone still could not block the serrated blade, despite being much more defined than before.
Lu Yin had split his consciousness to release the Nine Heavens, but this meant that the consciousness he could use in combat was not at the Universe level. Naturally, Lu Yin could not block Emperor Wu's serrated blade with just his consciousness.
The serrated blade sliced through the Skyshearer Millstone, slashing across the ground and leaving a massive rent.
Emperor Wu tightened his grip on his weapon. His consciousness is nowhere near as strong as the rumors claim.
Yi Die and the rest of the Primal Beastland cultivators continuously retreated from the chaotic, three-way battle. They were terrified that their domain would not be able to withstand this fight and that it would collapse and shatter.
The Origin Progenitor stepped forward, leaving Boundless. It was time for him to take action. They needed to quickly capture Old Salamander. His identity was very important to the Tianyuan Megaverse.
Opposite the Origin Progenitor, Old Yu also appeared. He similarly intended to capture Old Salamander.
The ancient monster’s Spirit Rebirth beast form was utterly unique, and the fact that he had kept it hidden for so long guaranteed that there was some secret that he had concealed.
Each new powerful beast-form Spirit Rebirth was an improvement for the entire Spirit Nidus.
Countless eyes were fixed upon Old Salamander, whom Lu Yin had pinned underground in the Primal Beastland. What secrets was the old thing hiding?
Just as the Origin Progenitor was about to step forward, a figure appeared in the sky. The sight caused the Origin Progenitor’s eyes to narrow sharply. The High Seraph?
Far away, Old Yu’s expression also changed drastically. The High Seraph?
Down on the ground, in the middle of the chaotic three-way battle, As Lu Yin evaded the serrated blade, he also saw the High Seraph looking down from above. As expected, the High Seraph was drawn out. This is a problem.
"High Seraph?" Old Salamander blurted.
Emperor Wu then looked up. Why is he here?
Suddenly, the Origin Progenitor shouted, "Something's wrong! This is Dreamshade!"
Lu Yin instantly understood the situation. This was terrible. Meng Sang had shown up. Lu Yin quickly looked back down and saw that Old Salamander was being dragged through a portal. Is that... Qianmen Feidu?
Lu Yin quickly reached out, but he was too late.
Qianmen Feidu had not torn through the void in order to take Old Salamander, but rather used one of his own portals. His portals were quite amazing. When Lu Yin had last tried to kill Qianmen Feidu, he had only succeeded in destroying the man’s mouth.
Qianmen Feidu should be someone loyal to the Wisdom Domain, so Old Yu should be the one behind anything the man’s action. Given that, why was he working with Meng Sang? Meng Sang belonged to Yong Heng.
The Wisdom Domain, Qianmen Feidu, Meng Sang, and Yong Heng... could there be a connection between all of them? Lu Yin turned to stare at Old Yu in the distance.
By this time, Old Yu, Emperor Wu, and several others had also reacted, but they could no longer see Old Salamander. They had not even seen Qianmen Feidu’s actions.
Throughout the Primal Beastland and in the space surrounding the domain, the only ones who had seen the portal were Lu Yin and the Origin Progenitor.
Seeing the confusion in Old Yu’s eyes, Lu Yin’s brow furrowed. What was the connection? Was Qianmen Feidu still working with the Wisdom Domain, or had he started helping Yong Heng?
"Meng Sang, you’re seeking death!" Emperor Wu snarled as he shot out of the Primal Beastland, traveling in a specific direction. He refused to let Old Salamander escape.
Lu Yin did not give chase. The fact that Meng Sang was involved meant that Yong Heng was involved, and it was better to avoid him. If Emperor Wu did manage to catch up, he had Lu Yin’s sympathy.
It was possible that not even the High Seraph was capable of fully exposing Yong Heng’s abilities.
Meng Sang was another tricky existence. While he was certainly not one of the strongest of the Seven Seraphs in an outright fight, his ambush skills were second to none, and his ability to escape was without equal.
Even if Emperor Wu managed to find Meng Sang, it would be impossible to do anything to him.
The Primal Beastland grew quiet as rivers of blood flowed across the land.
All eyes fell upon Lu Yin.
He rose into the sky and looked around. The battle had completely shattered the Primal Beastland. Ba Liu and Yi Yao had been avenged, and Old Salamander had been exposed.
Lu Yin looked over at Old Yu, who was already staring at Lu Yin.
"Lord Lu, it's over," Old Yu said, referring to the affair with Yue Cheng.
Lu Yin continued to stare at Old Yu. "Why did you show up?"
Old Yu sighed. "I wanted to take Old Salamander. His beast-form Spirit Rebirth is quite valuable."
Lu Yin’s brow furrowed again. Take Old Salamander away? Just what is the connection between Qianmen Feidu, Meng Sang, and this old bastard?
Old Salamander was quite cunning, but so was Old Yu. The Spirit Nidus was a mysterious megaverse with many hidden secrets.
"Emperor Wu is chasing after Meng Sang. When do you plan to leave the Primal Beastland, Lord Lu?" Old Yu asked.
Yi Die, Jiu Weihu, and many others all looked at Lu Yin. If at all possible, they did not want to allow Boundless to leave. The battleship had thoroughly humiliated the Primal Beastland. Even if it had all been necessary to reveal Old Salamander’s hidden manipulations, if anyone other than Emperor Wu had been the one responsible for what had happened, the Primal Beastland would have attacked them without reservation.
At this moment, if the Primal Beastland failed to keep Boundless from leaving, they would be showing weakness.
Knowing this caused many cultivators throughout the Primal Beastland to bow their heads.
Both underground and in outer space, many powerful beast-form Spirit Rebirths stood in support of Emperor Wu. However, even if he was present, what could he do? Would he really fight Lu Yin at this point in time?
