For a moment, the old man became uncertain.
Lu Yin pointed the bone spur at the center of his forehead. "At worst, I will die alone with Heaven’s Sight. If I die, you will never be able to get Heaven’s Sight."
Old Mo stared at Lu Yin. "Do you want to die?"
"Of course not."
"Give me Heaven's Sight, and I will let you live."
Lu Yin laughed. "Old monster, you may be smart, but I’m no fool! Do you really think that I’ll believe that?"
"You don’t have any choice," Old Mo retorted in a cold voice.
Lu Yin shook his head. "Of course I have a choice. Let me go."
"What a joke." Old Mo stepped forward, and Lu Yin instantly grew alert. From behind, the darkness erupted to attack him, but Lu Yin spun around and lashed out with a palm strike. A purplish-black substance covered his hand as the visualization method of the Immovable Heavenly King Elephant appeared. His attack shattered the void.
Lu Yin had been prepared for this attack for some time. There was no reason for Old Mo to verbally threaten Lu Yin, and the fact that the man had done so indicated that he was about to attack.
Seeing Lu Yin block the darkness exceeded Old Mo’s expectations. He had not used that powerful of an attack, as he did not want to damage Heaven’s Sight, but that did not mean that the old man had been gentle with his attack either. He had used just enough power to incapacitate Lu Yin, only for the child to block the attack. On top of that... "Is that the same power as Hen Xin? Why do you possess that?"
Lu Yin raised a hand and waved his Wielder - Indestructible about. "I learned it."
Old Mo was genuinely impressed. "The Third Mainland’s Dao Monarch developed a unique cultivation method that raised a human body’s strength to rival a Progenitor’s power. However, only he and Hen Xin ever managed to successfully cultivate that method out of everyone who attempted to do so. So you actually succeeded as well? I understand now. Not only are you a genius from the Lu family, you are clearly no worse than Lu Tianyi.
"It would be a pity for such a talented child to die. Just give me Heaven's Sight, and I swear to not to touch you. On top of that, I can even offer a promise to owe you a favor, provided that you give me Heaven's Sight."
Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat. "Really?"
"Absolutely." Old Mo's eyes filled with excitement. He had already sacrificed a great deal in order to obtain Heaven’s Sight.
Lu Yin grew solemn. "Let me think about this."
Old Mo frowned. "What is there to think about? The higher one’s cultivation, the less likely they are to make pledges, especially someone at my level. Oaths involve karma and levels of power beyond your understanding. No one will make a promise or swear an oath unless they have no other choice."
Lu Yin shook his head. "At your level, things like karma can be broken."
Old Mo's eyes widened sharply. "Break karma? That means touching the governing laws of a universe."
"Haven’t you already reached that level with darkness?" Lu Yin shot back.
Old Mo stared at Lu Yin for a long moment. "You seem to know quite a bit, child. Lu Tianyi could not compare to you when he was your age.
"However, your knowledge is still limited. Even if the governing laws of a universe can be broken, doing so requires a significant price to be paid, and even someone with my power will receive the hostility of the universe that it happens in. There are universes that cannot be entered freely, and you also cannot interfere with the governing laws of a universe just because you want to.
"You know too little."
At this moment, the Chiliagonist entered Evernight. The absolute darkness of the card did not phase the corpse king, and his consciousness shot straight at Old Mo.
The corpse king was afraid that Old Mo would steal Heaven’s Sight from Lu Yin, and the Chiliagonist had only stayed in the Umbral Universe for so many years because of Heaven’s Sight.
He could not abandon this battle. No matter what, he had to stall Old Mo.
Lu Yin had not expected the Chiliagonist to enter Evernight. Did the corpse king also intend to try to steal Heaven's Sight? If not, he should have left Lu Yin to fight against Old Mo on his own.
There was no time to dwell on such matters. The corpse king had entered Evernight, and Lu Yin would not hold back against it.
