Cheng Kong should have been injured by the attack, so why had only a small bubble been left behind?
It was clear that the bubble was from Cheng Kong’s battle technique, Bubble Fantasy. Was it possible that the battle technique could become tangible, just like the Impious Sutra?
Lu Yin frowned. Was it really possible for such a bizarre occurrence to happen more than once? What if this bubble was not from a battle technique, but rather part of Cheng Kong’s body?
No one had ever seen Cheng Kong's true form. While it was possible that he avoided being seen because of his identity, it might also be possible that it was simply impossible to see Cheng Kong. What if he was not even human?
Most Aeternals were corpse kings, but they also had astral beasts and other odd life forms.
Could Cheng Kong be one such odd life form?
Lu Yin considered the possibility.
Before long, Lu Yin put away the bubble and turned to look out from the Wall of Purity. Arrow Sage watched Lu Yin from a distance.
When Lu Yin looked over at the Sage, Arrow Sage’s eye twitched, and he offered a slow bow. It was clear that he was saying goodbye.
However, Lu Yin had no intention of leaving so easily.
While he could ignore Bai Sheng and Xia Qin, Specter Progenitor could not be ignored.
Specter Progenitor was already publicly known to be Wang Fan's shadow clone. Wang Fan had gone to the Endless Frontier and left Specter Progenitor at the Wall of Purity. Clearly, there was something off about this. There was no question that Wang Fan had his own plans.
Lu Yin had suspected Shao Yin of being a spy, and Wang Fan had cooperated with Sovereign Shao Yin to exile the Lu family. It did not seem impossible for Wang Fan to also be a spy, though Lu Yin had evidence to support such a claim. Given Wang Fan's relationship with Lu Yin, even if Lu Yin voiced his speculations, everyone would assume that it was a false allegation.
However, it did not really matter if it was false or not. Lu Yin was capable of handling matters differently from before, and he could be as domineering as he wanted.
He used the spatial lines and disappeared.
Arrow Sage breathed a sigh of relief, as he assumed that Lu Yin had left, though Arrow Sage was also quite surprised to discover that he was unable to sense any trace of Lu Yin’s movements. Still, Lu Yin had publicly fought against Sovereign Shao Yin, so it should not be a surprise that he was more powerful than Arrow Sage.
Suddenly, a scream erupted.
Arrow Sage's expression changed drastically, and his head whipped around to look beyond the Wall of Purity.
At the same time, Bai Sheng and Xia Qin both turned to look at Specter Progenitor.
The Progenitor was in extremely miserable condition. He had just been struck from the front by an incredibly powerful palm strike, and it had even damaged his heart. His body was flying backwards through space as he let out a scream of agony.
Lu Yin was standing in front of Specter Progenitor, and he took a step forward. "Wang Fan, you have debts that must be paid."
Specter Progenitor’s face was extremely pale. "Lu Xiaoxuan, I am helping to protect the Cyclic Universe."
Arrow Sage reflexively attacked, and his Seven Divine Arrows flew out as he tried to stop Lu Yin.
Bai Sheng and Xia Qin watched in a daze. Lu Xiaoxuan seemed to be completely unhinged! He actually attacked so openly? This was the Cyclic Universe’s warfront battlefield. Did Lu Yin not fear that attacking Specter Progenitor would be regarded as ignoring the overall situation and harming mankind as a whole?
In the past, Lu Yin had held back because of the location of the Wall of Purity, so why had he boldly attacked this time?
Lu Yin sneered as he flicked a finger, shattering the arrow. "If I eliminate one of your protectors, I’ll send another to help defend the Wall of Purity. My Heavens Sect has more than one Progenitor."
Attacking alone was a completely different concept from attacking with numerous Progenitors. When Lu Yin had gone to the Decaying Diablo Universe, he had been accompanied by Big Sis, Arch-Elder Zen, and more. At that time, Lu Yin had avoided showing any hint of aggression in the Cyclic Universe to avoid giving an appearance of wanting to start a war. However, it was possible for him to take action at this moment precisely because he was alone.
The Wall of Purity was a special place in that many of the people present deserved respect. However, Lu Yin’s respect for those people was not enough for him to ignore an enemy.
Specter Progenitor quickly tried to flee. He had no desire to face Lu Yin in a head-on fight. The youth had been a difficult opponent in the past, and after becoming a Semi-Progenitor, he had reached a level of strength that allowed him to face off against someone as powerful as Sovereign Shao Yin, who was far beyond Specter Progenitor’s level. "Arrow Sage, hold Lu Xiaoxuan back!"
Arrow Sage shot out another one of his Seven Divine Arrows. "Lord Lu, please reconsider your actions!"
Lu Yin shot a fierce look at Arrow Sage. "This is none of your business."
He waved his hand, once again shattering the arrow.
Arrow Sage had only wanted to stall Lu Yin a bit, not actually fight him. There was no way the Sage would attack with his full power, so naturally, the Seven Divine Arrows were easily shattered.
However, even if Arrow Sage had tried his best, he still would not be able to stop Lu Yin.
Specter Progenitor continued to run away. He tried to tear through the void to escape, but given how easily Lu Yin moved through space, the torn void was instantly restored. "Lu Xiaoxuan, do you really want to fight me to the death?"
"You deserve it. Since I’ve cultivated the God of Death’s power, I will use his death energy to clean house!"
Death energy surged from Lu Yin's body, filling the void and blocking the stars in the blink of an eye. The entire Wall of Purity was overshadowed, which caused both the humans and the Aeternals to look up in shock as everything was replaced with darkness.
Lu Yin pulled out the God of Death’s left arm and scythe. He aimed at the distant form of Specter Progenitor, and the scythe flashed out. "Die for me."
Specter Progenitor's pupils instantly shrank. He was all too familiar with this scene. In the Perennial World, Nutjob Lu had been gravely wounded by this attack, and at that time, Specter Abyss's death energy had been drawn out.
While no external death energy had been drawn out for the current attack, Lu Xiaoxuan's own reserves of death energy were extraordinary. Additionally, the death energy felt unfamiliar, as though it consisted not merely of death energy.
