Chapter 3152: The Disappearing Attack
Lu Yin remembered a civilization on the Endless Frontier where everyone fought with stones on their backs. There were also instances of people using gra.s.s as a weapon. Hongyan Mavis had used a blade of gra.s.s to block the Mirari Realm’s mist of time.
Great Elder Shan Gu's words were quite accurate.
Lu Yin bowed and solemnly said, "I have learned much, Great Elder. It’s true that every civilization has its own unique path of development. I shouldn’t be narrow-minded."
Shan Gu chuckled. "These words aren’t mine. Rather, they belong to a senior who, unfortunately, met a tragic end. In the end, there is nothing in existence that can stand up to that being."
Lu Yin quickly interrupted. "Senior, I once heard that fate exists everywhere and that there is no such thing as an absolute. That should apply even to the being you mentioned last time. I told this to you then as well."
Shan Gu let out a heavy sigh. "I apologize, Lu Yin. I lost my composure."
Whenever Shan Gu brought up that invincible being, he lost his composure. This was a manifestation of the man’s past trauma.
This was also why Lu Yin was so hesitant to help the man by Enhancing his Heavenly King card. It was not that Lu Yin was looking down on the Great Elder. Rather, an Enhanced card needed to match its user's ability. Shan Gu's inner demons meant that he was incapable of reaching the Origin realm, and using a card at that level would only result in disaster if he faced a true Ortuser in combat.
Enhancing Heavenly King would not help Shan Gu but instead harm him.
"Our Lost Clan has three seven star Immemorial cards: Heavenly King, Evernight, and Aurora. At the moment, Aurora has no master. I hold Heavenly King, and you possess Evernight.
"Heavenly King is domineering, while Evernight is cunning. You should be the one to create the traps in Evernight, and the card’s original ability is called ‘Dark Palace.’ That ability imprisons enemies in darkness and incinerates them with it..."
From Shan Gu's explanations, Lu Yin gradually developed an understanding of Evernight.
Despite the fact that Shan Gu had never used Evernight himself, the card had had many masters throughout the history of the Lost Clan, and those people had left detailed records behind.
Lu Yin gently rubbed his cosmic ring. He could not help but wonder just how effective Evernight would be in a fight.
His strength had completely transformed since he had obtained the Immemorial card, though he still had not become a Progenitor. While Evernight should be at the level of an Ortuser, Lu Yin realistically could not use the card against such a powerhouse.
However, it seemed more than possible to use Evernight to take down one or two of the Three Pillars and Six Skies.
After Shan Gu finished his explanation, he allowed Lu Yin to consider what he had just learned. The Great Elder had been waiting for Lu Yin to reach out and ask about how to use Evernight, but Lu Yin had never done so.
With the a.s.sistance of a card and a corresponding level of personal power, it was certainly possible for a person to understand their card’s ability. However, when there was a gap between the master and the card, understanding the card’s abilities would be very difficult.
Previously, Lu Yin had only had a basic understanding of Evernight, but he had just learned that the card’s most deadly ability was its Dark Palace.
Soon after, Lu Yin departed.
Shan Gu remained standing in outer s.p.a.ce, staring at his Heavenly King while hoping to see another reaction. That might lead him to the Primeval card that had appeared.
...
Thunder roared in the First Scourge as lightning swept through the sky and across the earth. Countless spatial tears opened up.
A figure stepped out. They were holding a long sword as they retreated step by step.
Right behind the person, a creature that resembled both a worm and a snake appeared. Its entire body was a golden color, and it was covered with black lightning patterns. Blue lightning flashed across the creature’s eyes as it lunged at the person in front of it.
Down on the ground of the First Scourge stood Progenitor Xi. She looked up, seeing what she had expected.
After attacking the Five Spirits Alliance and the Luna Alliance, Aeternus had antic.i.p.ated that Whitecloud City would retaliate. In fact, they expected that, not just Whitecloud City, but the Sixverse a.s.sociation would also grow agitated.
But what of it? The Scourges were not places that humans could brazenly invade. There were ancient beings which simply needed to be awakened. They could not remain hidden forever.
"Jiang Feng, this is the second time you've lured the Ancient Lightning Locust into my Aeternus’s territory. This time, you won't be able to return." Blackless G.o.d rose into the sky as black lines appeared in front of the Ancient Lightning Locust, trying to trap the creature.
The person who had arrived in the First Scourge was none other than the Lord of Lightning, Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng had a cold, determined expression on his face. "I hadn’t planned on leaving this place alive last time, but you’ve allowed me to just walk away time and time again. Blackless G.o.d, where is your confidence coming from?"
The man then slashed his sword, and that single attack sliced through the black lines.
Lower in the sky, countless black lines appeared, densely packed together.
A golden light descended at the entrance of the First Scourge. Sovereign Dou Sheng entered with a broad grin. "I'm here again! Arrow G.o.d, I may not like hitting women, but you seem to be asking for it."
He received an answer of arrows as a pair of cold eyes fell on the Sovereign. Arrow G.o.d was already focused on Sovereign Dou Sheng.
He was the only person who could keep her occupied, but likewise, only she could keep the Sovereign tied down.
The man was simply too difficult to kill, and it was practically impossible to take him down. He was truly the most troublesome type of enemy to face.
Lord Xu and Mu Shen entered at the same time, despite both of them still nursing wounds from previous battles. There were important reasons why they needed to contribute to this attack on Aeternus.
For the first time, Great Elder Shan Gu entered the First Scourge, and he immediately trapped Di Qiong within Heavenly King. Di Qiong was not even able to react.
When it came to skill in using the Lost Clan’s cards, Lu Yin could not even come close to comparing to the Great Elder. Lu Yin would have never trapped Di Qiong.
Another great battle broke out in the First Scourge. The number of experts attacking from both the Sixverse a.s.sociation and Whitecloud City took the Aeternals by surprise. They had expected retaliation, and they had been confident that there would be an attack, but such a quick and comprehensive reaction exceeded all their expectations.
Kong Tianzhao faced off against Progenitor Xi, only to be repelled by a single sweep of her sword. Qingluo Jiantian’s Qingluo Intent was an attack that carried unbeatable spiritual force.
Lu Tianyi stepped forward, using the Lu family's version of the Origin Sutra, which compensated for the family’s spiritual force weakness. Although this still could not bridge the gap between him and Qingluo Jiantian, it was enough for him to hold his own in this fight.
Shao Yin watched as human powerhouses stormed into the Scourge. Since when had Aeternus been the one to react instead of the one seizing the initiative?
In the past, the First Scourge alone had suppressed the entire Sixverse a.s.sociation. However, as the Sixverse a.s.sociation persistently retaliated, the humans’ momentum had surged. At the moment, not even the united strength of all six Scourges under the Divine Commandment was enough to suppress humanity.
With humanity united, they wielded truly terrifying power.
Shao Yin greatly regretted exposing himself so early.
Still, revealing himself had not been done entirely by choice. Lu Yin, that little wretch, had forced Shao Yin’s hand.
Wait, where is Lu Yin?
Shao Yin scanned the battlefield. This should be impossible, as who else but Lu Yin could lead the entire Sixverse a.s.sociation to attack? Despite his reluctance, Shao Yin had to admit that no one other than Lu Yin was capable of mobilizing so many parallel universes to attack all at once. That brat should not be missing from this battle.
Suddenly, Shao Yin felt a flash of danger. A blade flickered in front of him, the edge gleaming with a cold light. The man raised a hand, bringing out the merged powers of Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang to create a beam that repelled the blade.
Mu Ke had attacked the former Sovereign. The Arborean took a step forward as his saber slashed at Shao Yin.
Shao Yin had known that his opponent would be Mu Ke.
Mu Ke continued to swing his blade, but Shao Yin was confident that he could match Mu Ke in a fight. When Shao Yin had still been one of the Three Sovereigns, Mu Ke had only been as strong as Shao Yin, but after he merged his Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang, Shao Yin’s strength had risen to match the Seven SkyG.o.ds themselves. Mu Ke was no longer Shao Yin’s equal.
However, Shao Yin failed to notice that Mu Ke was not his only opponent. To the right stood Qing Ping, and to the left was Mu Xie.
Shao Yin had never imagined that all three of Lu Yin's senior disciple brothers would target him. This was done at Lu Yin's request, as Shao Yin was crucial to this particular battle.
In front of Shao Yin, a blade flashed as it sliced down. The attack was sharp and terrifying.
Shao Yin raised his hand, and a beam of light met the attack before sweeping past, slicing through the slash. "Mu Ke, I underestimated you in the past, but this time, you are underestimating me!"
Mu Ke's eyes were cold as his blade slashed out again. He was using Verseless.
Verseless severed s.p.a.ce, and Shao Yin felt a sudden surge of danger. His eyebrows rose as he immediately used his sequence particles to overpower Mu Ke’s attack. A battle of sequence particles ensued, though Shao Yin was completely confident that he outmatched Mu Ke in this regard.
Suddenly, a ?arīra appeared from the side, and it crashed towards Shao Yin.
Mu Xie was not yet a Sequence Progenitor, so he seemed to pose no threat to Shao Yin, especially in a Scourge where all human forces were weakened. The former Sovereign was able to completely ignore Mu Xie’s attack.
However, Mu Xie was not trying to attack Shao Yin. All the Progenitor wanted to do was get his ?arīra close to the man, nothing more.
The ?arīra was a marker that could be targeted by Origin Tracer.
Shao Yin used his sequence particles to shatter Mu Ke’s slash and then pointed a finger at the Arborean while another finger pointed at Mu Xie.
The ?arīra was already at Shao Yin’s side, and the beam that was shot at Mu Xie first shattered the ?arīra before continuing on towards Mu Xie.
Suddenly, the beams vanished, but the saber slash continued to fall down onto Shao Yin
He quickly dodged the attack, but it grazed his shoulder, opening a bleeding gash.
Shao Yin stared blankly at the blood on fingers. What had just happened? His sequence particles should have overpowered Mu Ke's attack, but those sequence particles had simply disappeared. No—after he scrutinized it, Shao Yin realized that his sequence particles had not been reduced. Rather, it was as if his attack had never even happened.
He looked over at Mu Ke, and the man’s saber slashed out again while Mu Xie pushed his ?arīra forward.
Mu Xie had just used his ?arīra as a marker for Origin Tracer, undoing the events that had taken place as the ?arīra approached Shao Yin. The only thing that had happened during that time had been Shao Yin pointing two fingers, one at Mu Ke and the other at Mu Xie.
This event had been negated, which meant that Shao Yin had never completed that action, but in his perception, he had already attacked.
Essentially, Shao Yin believed that he had released an attack that had never actually occurred, which allowed Mu Ke's saber to fall unimpeded. If Shao Yin had not reacted quickly enough, the slash would have done far more than leave a mere flesh wound.
As soon as he saw Mu Ke's blade fall again, Shao Yin immediately grew wary. He pointed his finger and shot a beam of light at Mu Ke's attack while completely ignoring Mu Xie, as Shao Yin believed that the ?arīra could not harm him at all.
However, the beam vanished once more.
Shao Yin's focus snapped over to Mu Xie as a chill entered them. "It's you!"
Using Origin Tracer a second time had left behind a trace that Shao Yin had sensed. After dodging Mu Ke's saber, Shao Yin focused on attacking Mu Xie while also avoiding the ?arīra. A finger pointed out again, and another beam of light shot out. This attack should kill Mu Xie, as the man had not become a Sequence Progenitor yet.
However, the beam vanished yet again. Origin Tracer had activated, though this time, Mu Ke's saber was the marker. When Shao Yin had dodged the slash, he had still been grazed by it, and Mu Ke used that as a marker to negate the subsequent events. This caused Shao Yin's attack to disappear.
