Chapter 2506: Desecration

Shi Hong looked over at Lu Yin, who was leaning against a wall. She could not be sure whether he was telling the truth or not. It was indeed possible that he really was good at finding weaknesses and spotting flaws, which had allowed him to survive the various battles he had survived.Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

"Sister Hong, you shouldn't abandon Dragon Flash." One of the boys was unable to contain himself. He dreamed of learning that particular sword technique, but no matter how much he practiced, he had never been able to master it. He greatly admired the technique. How could it be seen through so easily?

Shi Hong drew a deep breath and blew it back out. "I won't give it up. I didn't execute it correctly and was too careless. After I return to the academy, I will continue to train with it."

As she spoke, Lu Yin set the tip of the sword onto the floor and spun the hilt with his fingers. The sword spun, reflecting light along its edge as it did so. The spots connected to form a single line.

The girl's swordsmanship was decent, but the critical aspect of the skill that she had used was not the rotating blade edge. Instead, it lay in the spots of light. The spots of light reflecting off of the sword were supposed to form a dragon, and that was the actual deadly aspect of the attack. Whoever had created the sword technique was a true expert, though the technique had likely been created on a whim. It had a flashy appearance, but it concealed a deadly killing intent.

The people of the Transcendent Universe did not use or create battle techniques... Lu Yin’s lips curled upwards as he stared into the distance. Things were getting interesting.

"Brother-in-law, you're amazing!. Other than its beauty, I can't see any value in that sword technique. Sister Hong seems very discouraged," Luo Lao'er commented as he approached.

Lu Yin asked, "How does the Voidforce Universe compare to your Three Monarchs Universe?"

Luo Lao'er sighed. "Brother-in-law, can you please stop comparing everything to my Three Monarchs Universe? We rank last in the Sixverse Association."

"Last?" Lu Yin raised his eyebrows.

"Yep. Dead last. If another powerful universe is discovered, our Three Monarchs Universe would be instantly dropped from the Sixverse Association. Why else would Monarch Luo’s son be a hostage for the Transcendent Universe?" Luo Lao'er asked, seemingly not too concerned with what he was saying.

"The six most powerful known universes form the Sixverse Association. Each universe has its own system, and there is only one criterion for joining the Sixverse Association." At this point, Luo Lao'er’s voice dropped low, "To hold back one of the Seven Skygods. At least, that's what my old man said."

"Who are the Seven Skygods?" Lu Yin asked curiously.

"Brother-in-law, you don't know about the Seven Skygods?"

"I've heard of them, but I don't know much about them."

"Well, to be honest, I don't either. All I know is that they’re Aeternus’s most powerful monsters. Did you see Destruction just now? General Qiu Zhan can't endure that beam even with a black energy converter, but the Seven Skygods can. Every single one of them is absolutely terrifying. My father and the other two Monarchs of my universe are only barely able to contend with one of them by working together, which is what allowed them to join the Sixverse Association. Without that, they wouldn't even be eligible."

Lu Yin had not known that dealing with one of the Seven Skygods was the minimum standard to join the Sixverse Association.

That was a rather high standard to meet.

Even if the Perennial World’s Progenitors were quite powerful, which one of them could confidently claim to be able to fight against one of the Seven Skygods by themselves? Not one of them. Not even Bai Wangyuan had been able to stop Undying God from forcing his way into the Dominion Realm. However, if those same Progenitors worked together, they were absolutely able to handle more than just one of the Seven Skygods. Despite that, the Perennial World was still not a member of the Sixverse Association.

Clearly, the Sixverse Association was not very friendly toward the Origin Universe.

The war finally ended.

When Qiu Zhan returned, he did not share the results of the battle with Lu Yin or any of the others.

After the battle was over, the Bestowal Carrier stopped moving. From a distance, it was clear that the carrier’s size had shrunk by a third.

Shortly after that, Shi Hong and the other two returned to the Transcendent Universe.

One after another, people were lifted up and taken away. Every action that they had taken on the battlefield had been recorded. No one could escape being punished.

In the end, more than a hundred people were taken away. All of them had committed various crimes, some of which were far more serious than others.

Luo Lao'er sighed. "Why bother? If we’re on a battlefield, it’s guaranteed that we’re being monitored. Am I right, Brother-in-law?"

He turned around, only to find that Lu Yin had vanished into thin air.

"Brother-in-law?" Luo Lao'er called out again, drawing the attention of Zuo Yu and several others, but no one knew where Lu Yin had gone.

Lu Yin had been teleported away. He had received a message earlier informing him that he would be meeting Zi Jing.

After arriving in the Transcendent Universe, Lu Yin had never remained in the same place for very long. He had spent the most amount of time in the Cloudflow Universe, and that was where he had learned the most about the Transcendent Universe.

Lu Yin met Zi Jing in a floating garden. A flicker of surprise and happiness could be heard in Zi Jing’s voice. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. How about you?"

"I'm fine. Did they send you to a battlefield?" Zi Jing asked.

Lu Yin bitterly answered, "I almost died. The fighting was too intense. I'm only an Enlighter, but we were attacked by Envoy-level corpse kings. If not for three people who suddenly showed up, I would never have seen you again. I was really lucky."

Zi Jing felt a bit disturbed. She had never known that the Dao Monarch was such a gifted actor. An Envoy-level corpse king? Not even Progenitors were capable of killing this man. "It's good that you're safe. Don't worry, I won't let you go to such dangerous places again."

"Where are we?" Lu Yin asked curiously. He looked around and saw a staircase leading up to a mysterious place that was hidden behind wispy white clouds. There were flowers blooming along the stairs, and there were also many strange creatures flying around, filling the air with their infectious laughter and jubilant cries.

The place seemed like pure land, an untainted haven.

Zi Jing whispered, "This is the most sacred place in the entire Transcendent Universe. It cannot be desecrated."

Desecrated? Lu Yin glanced at Zi Jing. Was this implying that he was about to meet some true big shot?

"Zi Jing, is this the man whom you have chosen?" A pleasant voice echoed from above. It sounded as clear as a flowing spring. Anyone who heard this voice would feel a deep sense of comfort, as though the voice was caressing their senses.

Lu Yin instinctively looked up. Whom did such a beautiful voice belong to?

As his gaze pierced through the clouds, he saw a pair of dazzlingly white legs that looked like they had been sculpted to perfection. Beneath the pair of bare feet were blooming flowers. The white clouds slightly drifted through the air, vaguely revealing a young woman in a white dress. Lu Yin was able to make out a pair of flawlessly beautiful eyes that shone like stars. At that instant, he forgot to even look at the girl's face, as his mind was captivated by those eyes. They were truly beautiful and flawless and perfect beyond words.

"Bold!" The clouds immediately moved to block Lu Yin's view.

Zi Jing dropped to her knees and started begging, "Please forgive him, Madam! He doesn't know the rules here!"

Lu Yin was perplexed. "What's going on?"

"Gazing up at me is a profound privilege. Daring to do so without permission is a heinous crime, which you have just committed." This time, the voice was accompanied by an indescribable pressure. It felt as though a pair of eyes were fixed upon Lu Yin.

His expression changed slightly. There was clearly a Progenitor-level powerhouse keeping an eye on this place.

He had only taken a single glance. Was it really necessary to make such a big deal out of that?
