Chapter 3126: Overpowering

Hongyan Mavis's words caught Lu Yin by surprise. "Is it one of the areas that even you all haven’t explored?"

Hongyan Mavis nodded. "When Master sent us here to the Mirari Realm to prepare for our breakthroughs, we succeeded. However, during our explorations, we were always forced to return here because there are some regions with bizarre phenomena that are far too dangerous. Master even warned us that some of the areas are beyond what we can handle, and he forbade us from entering them.

"Feng Bo is out of options if he’s finally entered one of the forbidden regions."

Lu Yin grew curious. "What's in those places?"

Hongyan Mavis looked back at Lu Yin. "After you have a real breakthrough, you can go check it out for yourself. At that time, you should at least be able to keep yourself alive, though that’s still not guaranteed. La.s.sy could have broken through much earlier than she did, but she inexplicably entered one of the forbidden regions for some reason. When she came back, she dispersed her entire cultivation and started over from scratch. She could have been the first of us all to become a peak powerhouse."

"Destiny?" Lu Yin was shocked.

Hongyan Mavis's expression grew increasingly solemn. "Even Master acknowledged La.s.sy as the most talented cultivator out of all of us. She could have been the first to become a peak powerhouse, and she was the second to be sent to the Mirari Realm, but after she went to a forbidden region, she restarted her cultivation. After that, all of us became extremely wary of the forbidden regions, and all of us completely avoided them before breaking through.

"Back then, even Big Brother Chu Yi was intimidated. He grew cautious, and despite being the first to enter the Mirari Realm, he never explored any of the forbidden regions. He’s still scared of them."

"What did Destiny see in the forbidden area?" Lu Yin could not resist asking.

Hongyan Mavis shook her head. "She never said. However, the power that she cultivated after restarting was divination."

Lu Yin looked out from the forest. The Mirari Realm had many forbidden regions. This place had not been created by Origin Porgenitor as Lu Yin had originally believed, but rather been left behind by something even older. The place was apparently even older than the first human, considering the fact that the River of Time flowed through it.

"Don't think about the forbidden regions for now. Don't enter any of them before your next breakthrough. Feng Bo knows about the legends of the forbidden regions, which is why he never entered any of them before. He’s become desperate, and he no longer has any choice but to enter one to escape. Little Seven, focus on your cultivation," Hongyan Mavis advised.

"While my influence doesn’t extend into the forbidden regions, he might not find it easy to leave the Mirari Realm from there either."

Lu Yin nodded and then proceeded to focus on his own training. He continued to mull over how he could supplement the vitality that his inner worlds lacked. If he could pull that off, he would finally gain the power to face or even kill the Seven SkyG.o.ds.

This step would lead to a true transformation, which would mean the equivalent increase in strength as a breakthrough without actually going through one.

Some time later, Hongyan Mavis's eyes lit up and a smile touched her lips. He’s out.

Feng Bo was standing beside the River of Time, panting heavily. His eyes were filled with disbelief. He had been badly injured, and blood stained half of his body.

He stared out at the River of Time, his pupils fluctuating constantly as he whispered to himself, "So, it’s not just this megaverse. I can't cross over there. This is my fault. I took out the Mavis family’s Divine Tree. It's my fault, but it’s also not my fault. I don’t belong to this place, so what do such things have to do with me? I was merely fighting in the war, nothing more. Why should I have to bear the consequences?

"I won't die. I'll leave this place alive. I've already fulfilled my promise to Yong Heng, so I’ll leave. I’ll leave this megaverse..."

Hongyan Mavis watched from within the forest. She had no idea what Feng Bo had encountered, but judging from his haggard appearance, it had had a significant impact on him.

However, if the man believed that he could leave, it was still impossible. The countless lives lost during the destruction of the Second Mainland would never allow it.

As time pa.s.sed, Feng Bo frantically searched for a way to leave the Mirari Realm, but he continuously failed.

"Hongyan, why are you so persistent? You know that this is pointless! Let me go, and I promise that I will never reveal to Aeternus that you survived. I won’t have anything more to do with the war. This megaverse’s war has nothing to do with me. Let me go!"

Hongyan Mavis's expression turned frigid. "Every action has its consequences. You need to face the repercussions of what you’ve done."

"Do you not care about yourself any longer? The past is already gone, and nothing can change it. Your only task is to survive. Do you want to end up like Wu Tian? Aeternus’s captive, suffering a fate worse than death? Or like the G.o.d of Death and be dismembered? Destiny doesn’t even dare to show herself, while Gu Yizhi betrayed your people. You Three Realms and Six Daos were able to accomplish nothing, Hongyan. Fighting me to the death is meaningless!" Feng Bo roared.

Hongyan Mavis glanced over at the cabin and looked at its floor. Every word there seemed to echo with the sentiments of all who had partic.i.p.ated in that conversation. "I believe that I will eventually see them again. Haven’t you also stayed here in the Mirari Realm all this time just to kill me?"

"You are too foolish! Humanity will never be able to compare to Aeternus!" Feng Bo shouted.

Suddenly, Lu Yin’s eyes snapped open. "That doesn't matter. As long as we live our lives with dignity, they aren’t lived in vain. Besides, I believe that humanity will win. Unfortunately, you won’t live to see that day."

With that, Lu Yin moved out from the forest.

Hongyan Mavis watched Lu Yin’s back and let out a breath. Was this the fourth or the fifth time? Each time he awakened, his strength would transform. Each time, he moved closer to killing Feng Bo. This would be their last battle.

Lu Yin exited the forest and looked at the River of Time.

At the same time, Feng Bo saw Lu Yin. The old man’s eyes grew bloodshot. "Boy, do you really think that you, a Semi-Progenitor, can kill me? Ridiculous! Such a thing has never happened throughout all of history!"

Lu Yin’s expression remained calm as he stared at Feng Bo as though he was looking at a dead man. "Paths are made by people. Humanity’s greatest weapon is wisdom. The Aeternals believe that emotions are humanity’s greatest weakness, but today, those emotions will be your death."

With that, he visualized his landma.s.s while simultaneously releasing his inner universe. The visualization overlapped with the continent of fatesand, and at that moment, the Mirari Realm trembled once again. The sky was completely covered, and the landma.s.s fell down upon Feng Bo.

This would not be enough to kill the old man.

Just as the landma.s.s was about to slam down, Lu Yin’s Wordless Heavenly Book also appeared, blazing brightly down upon the landma.s.s. As both Hongyan Mavis and Feng Bo gaped in astonishment, the landma.s.s transformed.

‘Dao Monarch, we believe that you are still alive.’

‘Dao Monarch, come back alive.’

‘Dao Monarch...’

‘Dao Monarch...’

Countless voices rang out. These were the prayers of countless people in the Fifth Mainland, transmitted from the Wordless Heavenly Book to Lu Yin’s ears, and then to the landma.s.s, granting it vitality.

Hongyan Mavis's mouth dropped open. Was such a thing even possible?

Feng Bo’s face turned pale. Vitality and emotions were supposed to be humanity’s weaknesses. This should not be happening. These voices belonged to ordinary people. They were mere mortals.

The difference between a Semi-Progenitor’s inner world and a Progenitor’s World was the presence of vitality. Lu Yin had not yet broken through, and he was unable to truly give the landma.s.s vitality, even after making his Dust World its core. However, the Wordless Heavenly Book was the presence of life itself, and it represented the lives of the entire Fifth Mainland, and even that of the entire Origin Universe.

Lu Yin could shun anyone from the Fifth Mainland, making it so that the Origin Universe would no longer recognize them. The Wordless Heavenly Book represented the will of the Fifth Mainland itself, and willpower meant vitality.

The Wordless Heavenly Book was the greatest source of vitality in the universe.

As long as people acknowledged Lu Yin and prayed for him, he would gain strength.

Everything that he had done over the years was rewarded at this moment. The people of the Fifth Mainland would never abandon him. Even if they learned of his death, they would continue to pray for his return.

No matter how much effort Aeternus put into creating turmoil, the people of the Fifth Mainland would always support Lu Yin.

They were the ones who brought life to Lu Yin’s landma.s.s.

The continent crashed down, slamming down onto Feng Bo.

Feng Bo expanded s.p.a.ce, but his efforts were instantly crushed. He raged, "Boy, no Semi-Progenitor can kill me! It’s impossible! Don’t think that you can rewrite history! I’ll fight you to the death!"

The man’s skin then started to crack open, causing blood to leak out and stream down his entire body. The ma.s.sive figure reappeared. While bringing it out always made Feng Bo suffer a severe backlash, he was staring at death and had no other choice.

A tower-like sword slashed upwards toward the descending landma.s.s.

There was a deafening crash, but the continent was not shattered by the impact. It had gained vitality, which compensated for its previous slight deficiency, and the ma.s.sive sword was overpowered.

Feng Bo dropped to one knee. His disheveled hair and resentful eyes made him look like a malevolent ghost. He spouted miserable curses as his blood splattered onto the enormous sword. The blade then split apart into a tower that protected the old man, and as it absorbed his blood, the tower turned crimson.

For a moment, the landma.s.s was not able to continue descending.

Feng Bo gave a bitter laugh. "Boy, you'll never be able to kill me! Let's see how much time you can waste in the Mirari Realm. You cannot even see the gap between us, as it’s a chasm that you will never be able to cross!"

The landma.s.s struggled to crush the tower.

Hongyan Mavis clenched her hands into fist. She had not expected Feng Bo to still have such a trick hidden up his sleeve. The old man had used his own blood to reinforce his tower until it became indestructible. This was Feng Bo’s ultimate trump card. This was something that he had kept hidden even during the war that had destroyed the Second Mainland.

Even at that time in the ancient past, Feng Bo had not been pushed as far as he had against Lu Yin.

His power was that of defense, not attack.

Lu Yin calmly watched as Feng Bo mocked him. Had Lu Yin not antic.i.p.ated such an outcome? Of course he had. Everyone who reached the level of the Seven SkyG.o.ds possessed some sort of ultimate trump card. Even when Corpse G.o.d had fought against the Great Sovereign, he had not revealed his final ability. Such things were only reserved for when such experts faced death.

Feng Bo was no exception to that.

"I want to find out if that slight discrepancy really can’t be compensated for. Old man, watch closely." Lu Yin lifted his hand, positioning it as though he were connecting himself to the landma.s.s above Feng Bo. The earth was above, and the sky was below, instead of the earth being below and the sky above. The earth was destined to overturn the sky: Flipping the Sky.

Lu Yin used the landma.s.s in the sky with his Flipping the Sky. He needed the landma.s.s to press down the rest of the way. Feng Bo was already suppressed, and he had nearly been killed, but Lu Yin needed a final push to force the landma.s.s down the rest of the way and finish the job. How much force was that?

It was the force of Flipping the Sky.

Flipping the Sky was a comprehension technique that belonged to Lu Yin alone, while the landma.s.s was also his. Everything involved in this attack was entirely Lu Yin’s and his alone. He could raise up the ground, and he could also flip the sky.

Feng Bo stared upwards in horror as an indescribable chill caused his mind to go blank. Could the brat still have more to his attack?

Boom!

The landma.s.s vanished, only to be replaced by a ma.s.sive palm print that covered the entire sky. The ground and the sky were inverted, and the blood-stained tower was shattered.

The slight discrepancy had finally been overcome.

Feng Bo stared up at his cracking tower. A howl of despair rang out. "Impossible! You're just a Semi-Progenitor! How could you bridge the gap between us? It's impossible! Impossible!"

The tower shattered, and Feng Bo spat blood at the sky. An unimaginable weight pressed down upon him, shattering his bones and veins. His cultivation, battle techniques, power, and innate gift were all annihilated in the same instance.
