Lu Yin used Heaven’s Sight to look ahead. He could not see the entire landmass at once, but he could tell that there was a thriving civilization that existed above the cloud-like structure. Was that a human civilization? And were those wings made of light on their backs?
Suddenly, the space around them changed as brilliant light appeared above them.
Lu Yin and the others all looked up to see the light coalesce into a massive hand that covered the sky and caused the void to tremble.
“No one is allowed to trespass into God’s Domain. Leave.” A stern voice echoed, and it caused Jiang Qingyue to groan as her face turned pale.
Lu Yin’s heart skipped a beat. The voice penetrated his head and caused his ears to ring.
The jiao stared blankly up at the enormous hand and started panicking.
“What is that?” Dragonturtle shouted.
Lu Yin looked at Dragonturtle. “Have you ever heard of this God’s Domain before?”
Dragonturtle looked bewildered. “Never.”
“Die, trespassers!” The booming voice echoed out again. As the voice rang out, the hand smashed down at the jiao, clearly intending to crush Lu Yin and the others.
Lu Yin was infuriated. The people of this universe were also human, and yet they had ruthlessly attacked them without even meeting Lu Yin and the others. He pulled a Zenith Mountain out from his cosmic ring and had Arch-Elder Zen and the others enter it. At the same time, he leaped up, the slipper in his hand. “Who’s trying to play god? Show yourself!”
The slipper slammed into the hand. The hand pressed down, powered by sequence particles that were entwined at its center to form complex characters. However, Lu Yin had seen countless sequence particles before, and the main body had not even appeared yet. Did this person want to crush him with a single swat of their palm? Impossible.
There was a resounding crash that caused the void to quiver, and numerous spatial cracks spread out, sweeping towards the beautiful cloud in the distance while slicing through the void.
At this same moment, far away, a pair of beautiful eyes snapped open in astonishment. “Blocked? This trespasser is formidable. Four Elephants: Great Sage Elephant, suppress them.”
Lu Yin’s slipper caused cracks to appear in the hand formed from light. Just as he was about to completely shatter it, his pupils constricted. The entire sky above him was flooded with endless sequence particles, and they surged into the hand. If before the sequence particles had only formed a single character at the center of the hand, then they now illuminated the entire hand. With this newfound power, it instantly suppressed him.
Lu Yin was shocked. The only other time he had seen this many sequence particles at once had been when the Seven Skygods or the Great Sovereign had taken action. This was an extremely powerful opponent.
All hesitation disappeared, and Lu Yin slipped away with Inverse Step. He moved parallel to time and instantly vanished.
The hand of light crushed the void, shattering everything nearby, but there was no trace of Lu Yin.
Far away, the owner of the beautiful eyes was a girl veiled in purple. She frowned when she realized that Lu Yin had escaped instead of dying. She could sense that he had escaped from her attack. Just who was he?
He had not had any kind of impressive aura, but regardless, anyone who trespassed into God’s Domain deserved death.
With this, the girl closed her eyes and spread her arms out. Her graceful figure almost seemed as if it was from a painting as she stepped forward with her bare feet. With her as the center, the entire universe seemed to condense and shrink, swirling around her as she searched.
Soon, she opened her eyes. She had found him.
Elsewhere, Lu Yin had used Inverse Step to escape from his earlier predicament. He felt horribly confused. What was going on? There was actually an incredibly powerful individual in this universe who was most likely at the same level as the Seven Skygods. This was not an opponent Lu Yin could face head-on, but fortunately, he had managed to escape with Inverse Step. This was not someone who was overcoming Dukkha.
What kind of universe was this? Did they really expel all outsiders and threaten them with death if they did not immediately leave? That was too arrogant.
God’s Domain? The name matched such arrogance.
Dragonturtle had never heard of God’s Domain before, which meant that Whitecloud City had also never encountered this universe. Though, there was no way to know whether or not the Sixverse Association had ever made contact with them.
There were too many parallel universes throughout the megaverse, and it was impossible to know what might happen.
Lu Yin was curious about this God’s Domain, and he wanted to learn what sort of civilization it might be. If he could convince them to join the fight against Aeternus, they would be a powerful ally.
Just as Lu Yin was contemplating such things, a hand of light suddenly took shape above him, and it instantly dropped down.
Its appearance startled Lu Yin. Had he already been found? How had they managed to do that?
He immediately fled again with Inverse Step.
However, it did not seem to matter where he fled, as his opponent seemed capable of finding him everywhere, and they pursued him relentlessly.
Helpless, Lu Yin took out his Champions’ Stage and summoned a Progenitor to help him escape.
The summoned champion was instantly crushed into nothingness by the hand of light, but Lu Yin took the opportunity to suppress his aura and stop moving.
Time passed, but the hand of light did not reappear.
Lu Yin let a sigh of relief slip out. He had managed to trick his pursuer, but just who were they? How had they managed to find him? If they were unable to see through Inverse Step, then how had they repeatedly found him?
He waited a while, but the hand of light never reappeared.
Lu Yin stared up at the sky. Was it really enough to conceal his aura? Or did his pursuer actually believe him dead?
Far away, the girl opened her eyes, feeling a powerful sense of doubt. That person should not have died so easily. How could anyone who had repeatedly escaped from her attacks die to a single direct hit? However, she was also unable to find the trespasser, as he had completely suppressed his aura. It would be difficult for her to find him even with her full efforts.
This trespasser was skilled, and he was also adept at concealing themselves.
“Divine Maiden, the Godseeker Day is approaching. All the citizens are eagerly awaiting it, and they are directing their most sincere blessings and prayers to you.”
The girl indifferently replied, “Has everything been prepared?”
“Everything is ready.”
“Announce that the entire nation is to be placed on alert. There are trespassers, so we must be vigilant.”
The person outside seems quite surprised by this news. “Trespassers? Weren’t they dealt with by you, Divine Maiden?”
“Leave.”
“Yes, Divine Maiden.”
The girl stared off into the distance. Could the intruder have arrived for the Godseeker Day? The timing lined up.
...
Far away, Lu Yin approached the glowing cloud. The closer he drew, the more the radiance weakened. When he stepped onto the clouds, the light beneath his feet was nearly gone.
