Home, home... Emperor Slayer also had a home. He did not like his home, though he had taken refuge in many different places and met many people. Did he want to die in his homeland? No, but he also did not want to die in the Tianyuan. What kind of ending would that be, being toyed to death?
He had thought that the Tianyuan was a paradise, but it had become his grave. If word of this made it back, how would Emperor Slayer ever show his face again?
He was Emperor Wu Slayer! He did not want to die, and no one would make him die.
“You want to kill me? Just what are you supposed to be?” Emperor Slayer lunged forward, charging at the massive droplet.
Huh? Su Shidao was stunned. Did he go insane?
The droplet was pressing down on everyone’s hearts. Whether by design or not, it fell extremely slowly while making everyone despair as death approached. There was a rhythm to death, and it matched the rhythm of the droplet’s descent.
It was the rhythm of the megaverse’s civilization going extinct.
At that moment, everyone understood that resistance was useless—at least, everyone aside from the one figure who was charging forward, Emperor Slayer.
He rushed past Ancient God, Lu Yuan, and all the others. He raced past swarms of insects and even blasted by Luo Chan. No one stopped the beast. Watching him throw himself into the fire was also amusing to see.
At least, that was what Luo Chan thought. Shan Xiao shared that emotion.
Only Emperor Slayer did not find his actions amusing.
He was entirely focused on the giant droplet as he arrived at a place close to Zhao Ran and Jiang Feng. As the droplet creature stared at him in puzzlement, Emperor Slayer raised his right index finger. “Senior, you have my thanks. Now, go for me!”
At that moment, Emperor Slayer was the center of everyone’s attention.
Countless eyes watched as that finger caused the void to warp as it traced out a growing arc. Light gathered quickly and formed a vast flow that resembled a star. Suddenly, it all collapsed into a blade of energy that stabbed at the giant droplet.
The blade struck the droplet, and countless eyes stared on in disbelief as the droplet was pierced through. The blade shot straight through the droplet, stabbing across to the other side.
There was a thunderous boom as the enormous droplet exploded. The blast swept out to the sides, cleaving the universe in two.
Above the tear, ripples spread out from the blade.
It was a scene that could be seen even from outside the Tianyuan.
Lu Yin was the one who saw these events play out the most clearly.
Through the Heavenly Karmic Macrocosm, he stared at the Tianyuan in a daze. He could no longer see the battlefield. The explosion of the droplet had split the universe in two, with the battlefield down below and the sky up above.
Lu Yin could only see that energy blade. It was vast, majestic, and utterly peerless.
It was an attack that exceeded his comprehension, and it was unimaginably terrifying.
At the same moment, Master Qing Cao shot to his feet and turned to stare in the direction of the Tianyuan. “What just happened?”
“You felt that?”
Master Qing Cao’s expression grew solemn. “That was an Immortal. What a sharp aura! Don’t tell me that that was the Immortal bug.”
If it was, he had no wish to fight it.
Lu Yin replied, “Don’t worry, it wasn’t.”
Master Qing Cao grew puzzled. “Then where did that aura come from?”
Lu Yin turned to stare at the man. “You don’t know?”
Master Qing Cao met Lu Yin’s gaze with a stunned expression. Could it be- Wait, he’s testing me.
“I don’t know.”
Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Master Qing Cao.
He had indeed been testing the man, using the attack to investigate if Obscura had a presence in the Tianyuan.
Lu Yin was ninety percent sure that a member of Obscura was hiding there, and Master Qing Cao should know about it. However, the man was too cautious to admit to anything.
Logically, aside from that hidden member of Obscura, there were no other Immortals in the Tianyuan.
Is this old fox lying with his eyes wide open?
Master Qing Cao continued to stare at Lu Yin. “What just happened? Could Greater Sancte Green Lotus or Greater Sancte Blood Tower have returned?”
Lu Yin looked away. “No idea.”
“You’ve been watching. How could you not know? Lord Lu, if that attack was made by that Immortal bug, there’s no need for us to continue on. We should hurry back to the Nine Odysseys Megaverse. We might still be able to help defend that megaverse.”
“I just said that it wasn’t. The Tianyuan is still safe.”
“Truly?”
“Why else do you think I’d be so calm?”
Master Qing Cao studied Lu Yin for a moment before letting out a breath and sitting back down in a cross-legged position. “I hope that you’re right. Do not be impulsive. The survival of the entire human civilization can hang on a single thought.”
Lu Yin ignored the comment and resumed watching the events in the Tianyuan.
Emperor Slayer had released that attack, but how had the beast managed to release something so terrifying? Had he hidden his strength? No, that was impossible. That did not match his personality at all.
Lu Yin slowly released a breath. Regardless of how Emperor Slayer had done it, he had blocked the Immortal bug’s blow and bought the Tianyuan a bit more time.
Most likely, that bug could not release another attack at that level anytime soon.
There were just two days remaining before the green lotus leaf reached the Tianyuan. They need to keep stalling.
In the Tianyuan, the energy blade faded away, and the shockwave that had severed the universe also dissipated.
Every eye was staring at Emperor Slayer in utter disbelief. It was as if they were seeing the man—no, the beast—for the first time.
