Chapter 2864: Lu Yin VS Shao Yin

There was a sharp roar, and the jiao instantly appeared.

Sovereign Shao Yin's pupils shrank sharply, and he ground his teeth before shouting in a deep voice, "Lu- Yin!"

Ju Ji and the man in the black robes both stared. Far away, at the same moment that the jiao appeared, so had Lu Yin and the other humans.

They had not expected the Merchant Exchange to ask the Heavens Sect for help. What could the two’s relationship be?

From behind the jiao, Lu Yin was also able to see Sovereign Shao Yin and others. Lu Yin’s head rose, and he shouted, "Big Sis, don't let any of them go! Kill them all!"

Without wasting any time, the jiao charged straight towards Sovereign Shao Yin’s group, fiercely roaring the entire way.

Big Sis waved a hand, and her abyssal flowers started blossoming. At the same time, her abyssal power formed a hammer that she used to execute the Thundering Hammer technique, incorporating sequence particles into the attack. She acted as though she was already on a battlefield, locked in a life and death battle.

Leng Qing’s saber rose and slashed out.

Chen Le started loosing arrows.

Lu Yin’s Infinity appeared, and the lines of his inner world continuously merged into his body. At the same time, the Immovable Heavenly King Elephant let out a roar as a shockingly powerful physical might was released. Lu Yin’s right fist rose, and he shouted out, "Sovereign Shao Yin, we need to settle the grudge between us!"

Far away, Sovereign Shao Yin grew furious. "Child of the Lu family, you are seeking death!"

The power of Extreme Yin erupted from the Sovereign, but it could not match the terrifying number of sequence particles that Shao Yin had wielded during the battle at the Tea Ceremony. The Great Sovereign had stripped the man of his power.

Beside him, the two Progenitor-level corpse kings both instantly underwent a Corpse King Transformation.

The man in black robes expression was hidden, but he took a step back.

Ju Ji, however, stepped forward. "Don’t take him head on."

The moment she spoke, divine energy surged from her body and formed a red sun that shot out at the jiao.

The blazing orb of divine energy slammed into the attacks that Lu Yin and the others had released, and it even blocked Big Sis’ sequence particles, which intimidated her. "Be careful! Don’t touch that divine energy! That’s an extremely strong energy."

There was no need for Big Sis’ reminder. The jiao was the first to react, and it instantly shrunk down. It was well aware of how terrifying divine energy was, and it did not want to touch the energy at all.

Leng Qing, Chen Le, and Arch-Elder Zen all evaded the divine energy as well.

Lu Yin did not actually need to dodge, as he was actually capable of absorbing this divine energy. However, he had to avoid the divine energy at this moment, as doing so otherwise would trigger questions that he could not answer.

The orb of divine energy scattered everyone, but when Ju Ji pointed her finger forward, the dark red sun suddenly transformed into a flat surface that spread out in every direction. All of space was enveloped in an instant, and a dark red light descended.

Ju Ji used her divine energy very differently from the Chiliagonist. If anything, Ju Ji’s method was even more bizarre.

"If you can't beat him, then escape!" Ju Ji shouted.

Sovereign Shao Yin was unwilling to give up. "I want to kill that descendant of the Lu family."

Ju Ji stared at the man. "We are not their opponents. They have a peak expert on their side."

The man in the black robes did not hesitate and was already tearing through the void to make his escape.

They were focused solely on Lu Yin and the others in the distance, having forgotten all about the Merchant Exchange.

The man in the black robes wanted to escape, but the Spatial Decaying Diablos that had surrounded the Merchant Exchange’s headquarters and were protecting it instantly repaired the void when it was torn, leaving the man with no escape route.

At this moment, Big Sis arrived. “You bunch of rats!”

A Thundering Hammer slammed down.

The Aeternal group had no choice but to flee.

The result was that only a number of corpse kings were crushed where they stood.

Two Progenitor-level corpse kings had already completed the Red Eyes Transformation, and they roared as they charged at Leng Qing and Arch-Elder Zen.

Big Sis had set her eyes on Ju Ji. At the moment, Ju Ji was the opponent who posed the greatest threat. Sovereign Shao Yin had been deprived of a great deal of his strength, and he had fallen too far to be a true threat. Thus, he was left for Lu Yin.

Lu Yin wanted to deal with the man personally.

Chen Le aimed an arrow at the man in black robes.

The Decaying Diablo Universe had never seen a battle between so many Progenitor-level experts before.

Inside the tower, Bi Teng's eyes were blazed with excitement. How could Lu Yin be so impressive? He had agreed to help the Merchant Exchange, and he had brought so many experts with him, but that was only a part of it. Even if those two old monsters of the Lu family were disregarded, if the Origin Universe mobilized its full strength, the Merchant Exchange would be able to safely retreat even if all Seven Skygods appeared.

Just how had Lu Yin accomplished this?

The Decaying Diablo Universe was filled with all different kinds of Decaying Diablos.

One bizarre Decaying Diablo drifted across the battlefield, swept along by the shockwaves of the various fights. Two pairs of eyes stared at each other through the Decaying Diablo; one pair was filled with resentment, and the other with killing intent.

"Child of the Lu family, I will kill you!" Sovereign Shao Yin growled out through gritted teeth.

Lu Yin sneered. "Let’s see how you can pull that off after you’ve been stripped of your power by the Great Sovereign."

Lu Yin then took a step forward, his hand rising to unleash a palm strike. It was a pure and simple Hollow Palm, but it possessed both power and speed.

The attack struck Sovereign Shao Yin, and he vomited blood as he flew backwards.

Lu Yin moved along the spatial lines, and he instantly appeared close to the Sovereign. "Show me how you’re going to kill me."

Another palm strike flew out, and the impact caused Sovereign Shao Yin to cough up more blood. His power of Extreme Yin was not a defensive power, and without his sequence particles, Shao Yin was even weaker than the ordinary Progenitor-level powerhouses that Lu Yin had faced before. The Great Sovereign had taken the man’s cultivation away.

At this moment, Shao Yin was not even Chu Jian’s opponent.

Just as another one of Lu Yin’s palm strikes landed, a bright and blazing power suddenly appeared from Sovereign Shao Yin's body. It illuminated the Decaying Diablo Universe, and at the same time, the aura of a peak powerhouse erupted.

Lu Yin's expression fell. What was this?

Sovereign Shao Yin waved a hand, and the blazing energy surged forwards, shooting towards Lu Yin.

Lu Yin felt quite confused. "This is the power of yang! You use the power of Extreme Yin to nourish the power of yang. Your power of Extreme Yin was taken from you, so why has your power of yang reached the Progenitor level?"

Sovereign Shao Yin sneered, though blood still stained his mouth. "How could I have remained hidden for so long if my power could be so easily taken away?

"Among the Aeternals, my status is no less than that of the captains of the True God Guard! I have everything that they have, and I also have everything they don't! Child of the Lu family, allow me to show you what Yin Yang really is."

The blazing power burned outer space.

Lu Yin used his Heaven’s Sight and saw sequence particles. These sequence particles were completely different from what Shao Yin had used before with his Rotting the Heavenly Dao. This should be impossible. Had Shao Yin really mastered two different laws of the universe? That was something that not even Big Sis had accomplished, as it was supposed to be impossible.

Supposedly, Shao Yin had entered the Decaying Diablo Universe to recultivate his Rotting the Heavenly Dao, so what was happening with this other power?

Far away, Big Sis also saw what was happening. "Not good!"

She immediately took off to help Lu Yin.

Ju Ji pressed a hand down, and the dark red light from the divine energy formed a flat sheet that blocked Big Sis' path. However, Big Sis was not so easily stopped.

As an abyssal flower bloomed, the path to Lu Yin opened back up.

At the same time, another path appeared, which was Arch-Elder Zen’s simple path. He had also seen Shao Yin change drastically while fighting with Lu Yin, and the Progenitor wanted to bring Lu Yin away.

Lu Yin shouted, "I’ll deal with him!"

Arch-Elder Zen hesitated, and Big Sis frowned. "There's something wrong with that man."

Lu Yin was able to see that, even though Sovereign Shao Yin was wielding sequence particles related to the power of yang, something about the laws felt half-finished to Lu Yin. This blazing energy was not nearly as threatening as the Rotting the Heavenly Dao that Lu Yin had faced earlier. Shao Yin seemed to be wandering between two different laws of the universe, not fully using either one.

What was going on?

The power of blazing yang swept out.

Confronted by the half-finished sequence particles, Lu Yin did not even bother blocking the attack with his Wordless Heavenly Book. Instead, he just took the attack with his body.

For the last portion of his Semi-Progenitor Tribulation, he had used just his physical body to endure lightning strikes that contained the power of sequence particles. These half-finished sequence particles could not compare to that lightning.

Lu Yin could see that, although Shao Yin had been deprived of his power, he was also able to somehow wield an opposing form of power.

Wait. An idea suddenly occurred to Lu Yin, and he thought back to what he had seen in the Extreme Yin realm.

Extreme Yin, the sun, underground, the border, yin overtaking yang, using yin to resist the yang of the sun… Lu Yin attacked Sovereign Shao Yin.

The Sovereign had already been struck by multiple palms. Even if Lu Yin was not able to withstand the yang sequence particles, Sovereign Shao Yin would still collapse before Lu Yin.

Both men were trying to endure the other’s attacks, but Sovereign Shao Yin was clearly at his limit.

"I understand." Lu Yin stared at Sovereign Shao Yin. "The power of Extreme Yin that you revealed is not your real power. You actually cultivate Extreme Yin and Yang, but you only ever revealed your power of Extreme Yin. That’s why the power of the Three Sovereigns that you received from the Great Sovereign was also connected to your power of Extreme Yin. That’s why it didn’t matter if the Great Sovereign stripped you of your power, as you can just rebuild your power of Extreme Yin with the power of Yang. Then, by merging Yin and Yang, you will completely master your true sequence particles."

Big Sis overheard from the distance, and was surprised. "Fusing yin and yang? That’s certainly a path forward."

Ju Ji grew solemn. She did not even know when she had been injured. The woman that Ju Ji was facing was terrifyingly powerful. Ju Ji had even used her divine energy at the beginning of the fight. Without it, she would have already died.

Sovereign Shao Yin was impressed. "As expected of a member of the Lu family. Despite the brief bit of time that you’ve spent re-cultivating, you’ve already reached a height that everyone must look up to. Since you’ve already guessed the truth, I might as well admit it.

"My innate gift is Two Faces; the positive side is Extreme Yin, while the negative side is Extreme Yang. In the Sixverse Association, I use the negative side to nourish the positive side, using the Extreme Yang to feed the Extreme Yin. Everyone assumed that it was just my cultivation method, especially since I used the same method to train my disciples, but no one ever knew that my real cultivation method is to use the positive to feed the negative, which means that my Extreme Yin has always been nourishing my Extreme Yang.

"So what if I was deprived of my power of Extreme Yin? I can rebuild that power in a short time and even step onto the level of fusing Yin and Yang by understanding the laws of positive and negative. Once I fully succeed, not even Sovereign Dou Sheng will be my opponent.

"Child of the Lu family, what can you do even if you know? Can you hold me back?"

With that, in the same manner as Ju Ji, a surge of divine energy erupted from Shao Yin’s body, and it merged with Ju Ji's divine energy to create a terrifying power that enveloped the entire Decaying Diablo Universe.

Bi Teng and the others in the tower looked up at the dark red light in fear. This was the power of True God. In the face of this power, everyone was nothing more than an ant.

Big Sis grew pale. True God was a powerhouse who not even she could fully fathom. The threat that his power posed exceeded what most people could even imagine.

"If you want this Decaying Diablo Universe, I'll give it to you, child of the Lu family! Remember, the next time we meet, you and I will once again have a death match!" Sovereign Shao Yin shouted.

In outer space, the dark red light suddenly fell, enveloping Big Sis, Lu Yin, and the others.

No one was able to disregard divine energy, not even sequence powerhouses. Divine energy possessed unmatched power.

Sovereign Shao Yin and the other Aeternals wanted to escape under the cover of divine energy, as not even Big Sis could do anything to stop them.

Big Sis was the strongest expert within Lu Yin’s group, so if she was incapable of stopping them from leaving, then no one could.

However, there was one exception: Lu Yin.

It did not matter that the divine energy fell. As long as he did not absorb it, he did not need to explain himself to anyone. Even Mister Mu was unable to see through the power that Lu Yin was cultivating.

Just as Sovereign Shao Yin was about to escape through a tear in space, Lightstream appeared beside Lu Yin. "Go."

Lightstream was the manifestation of space, and a carrier for time.

During his tribulation at the Tea Ceremony, Lu Yin had formed his inner world, Lightstream, passing the tribulation with the help of his die’s Timestop. After that, everyone had seen Lu Yin reverse time for a single second.

Naturally, Sovereign Shao Yin knew this as well.

It was not easy to escape from Lu Yin, but Shao Yin was not trying to rely on himself to escape; rather, he was relying on divine energy. How could Lu Yin do anything while suppressed by divine energy? Even that sequence powerhouse had been rendered helpless.

No matter how cautious Sovereign Shao Yin might be, he would never consider such a threat.
