Chapter 2925: A Decision Of Life And Death

Even if there was only a chance to hear the truth from Nutjob Lu, Lu Yin did not want to let the opportunity go.

He still remembered the moment that the hand had appeared. As he looked at its scars, someone had asked, “Is it worth it?” That question gave Lu Yin a heavy feeling, though he did not know it came from the question itself or from something else.

"Hahahaha, kid, even if I told you that it was all just a lie, would you dare to believe it? Hahahaha." Nutjob Lu let out a wild laugh.

Lu Yin gave the man a cold stare. "What are your conditions?"

Nutjob Lu's expression grew cold, and he leaned forward. The movement caused the chains to rattle violently. "I don't want that old bastard Lu Yuan to deal with me! Even if I end up dying tomorrow, I want to die an honorable death.

"Boy, let's have a deathmatch. No one will be allowed to interfere. If you beat me, I will tell you who that person is before my death. If not, you will never know."

This answer thrilled Lu Yin. "You, a Sequence Progenitor, are challenging me? How is this anything less than trying to kill me?"

Nutjob Lu grinned. "You can choose when the fight takes place. It can be now, or whenever you think you are capable of beating me. It would actually be a good time to do it after you break through to become a Progenitor. Do you dare?"

Lu Yin turned around and walked away as Nutjob Lu continued laughing wildly behind him.

When Lu Yin met Lu Tianyi once more, he shared Nutjob Lu's condition.

Lu Tianyi grew solemn. "Are you completely sure?"

Lu Yin nodded. "Who is that person? I really need to know."

"Nutjob Lu is definitely a spy, so in a deathmatch, he might even use divine energy and the Corpse King Transformation. The reason why I was able to defeat him so easily before is that he did not dare use either of those powers. He was prepared to be taken away by me, but there is a big difference between being captured and facing death," Lu Tianyi warned.

Lu Yin responded in a solemn tone, "I'm sure. Don't worry, Ancestor. I won't fight him unless I’m completely confident of victory. I’ll take everything into consideration."

Lu Tianyi stared at Lu Yin for a long moment. "The descendents of my Lu family do not fear death. Since you have made your decision, the family will fully support you. No one will deal with him before your deathmatch."

This was most likely exactly what Nutjob Lu had wanted. Lu Yin understood the man’s thoughts, but that also meant that he understood the madman’s weakness.

“Is it worth it?” Just what had that person paid?

A figure arrived at the New Inn on the border of the Voidforce Universe. "Is this the place? How odd."

The door soon opened, and the person stepped through, tossing in three corpses, which all belonged to Semi-Progenitor-level corpse kings.

Everyone in the New Inn turned to look at the newcomer, and they were shocked by the sight of the three dead Semi-Progenitor-level corpse kings.

To them, such monsters were elusive and powerful enemies.

A woman with heavy makeup walked over and carefully examined one of the corpses on the floor. She then looked up at the person standing inside the door and gave a sweet smile. However, caution still filled her eyes. "Senior, might I ask the meaning of this?"

"My name is Shan, and I am from the Heavens Sect. This is to fulfill the agreement that our Dao Monarch Lu made—to kill three Semi-Progenitor-level corpse kings."

Master Shan was the deliverer of the dead corpse kings. There was no need for Lu Yin to personally make a visit to the New Inn. He had already learned all that he needed to from the New Inn, and he had sent Master Shan to settle any possible cause and effect from karma with the inn.

The woman looked upstairs, and Chou Bao descended from the stairs to approach Master Shan. "Lord Lu has fulfilled his promise. Please pass my New Inn’s greetings to Lord Lu."

Master Shan nodded and turned to leave.

"By the way, the old man died. Please inform Lord Lu on our behalf," Chou Bao reported.

Master Shan had no idea who Old Dian was, as he had merely been completing Lu Yin’s promise.

Back at the Heavens Sect, Master Shan delivered the message to Lu Yin. Lu Yin had not expected to hear of Old Dian’s death.

Wu Da sighed. "Really, what you’re doing is useless. Dao Monarch Lu doesn't even know that someone like you exists."

The young man did not give up and remained kneeling on the floor.

Wu Da was quite curious. What was it about this young man that had attracted Dao Monarch Lu’s attention?

The young man had no idea that he had already drawn Lu Yin’s attention. As long as he could endure, he was guaranteed to ascend into the sky.

The reality of the universe was that the majority of people would want to know the results before attempting something, but this man’s actions were clearly delusional.

Knowing that one’s efforts would surely pay off would make one’s dedication to a task completely different from someone who had no idea if they would succeed or not.

Knowing that a gamble would pay off would make people willing to risk their lives.

If someone knew that they could make a fortune by learning a given skill, they would make sure to learn it, even if they did not enjoy it.

This was the advantage of knowing the final outcome, but such knowledge was nothing more than self-deception. Who could know the future for certain? Countless people would follow the same path, but ultimately, all those who reached the end would possess powerful determination and impressive luck. This was what determined the heights that people could ascend to.

However, the man from the Cyclic Universe had already succeeded. As far as Wu Da was concerned, attracting Lu Yin’s attention was a success. As long as this young man persevered, he would absolutely become Dao Monarch Lu's disciple.

Truthfully, Wu Da was envious of the young man. If Wu Da had known while attending the Astral Combat Academy that Lu Yin would eventually reach such amazing heights, Wu Da would have dropped to his knees and begged to be Lu Yin’s disciple, even if they had been classmates at the time. No, Wu Da would have sworn loyalty to Lu Yin, even if he was not acknowledged as a disciple. Even having an indirect connection to Lu Yin would be acceptable.

Wu Da sighed. "Then keep going. I hope that your persistence pays off."

If the young man gave up, Wu Da had no idea if he would pity the young man, but he would definitely wonder about what could have been.

As Wu Da was about to leave, a woman arrived and gave him a flat stare. Her gaze caused chills to run across Wu Da’s entire body. He had never felt such a sensation before. It was as though this woman was the master of his life and could decide whether or not he died at any moment.

This was not a completely foreign sensation to Wu Da, but throughout all his years of roaming the universe, the feeling had never been this strong. This woman radiated an indescribable authority as she slowly approached.

Wu Da stood frozen as he stared at the woman.

She merely glanced at him. "Leave."

Wu Da did not dare argue, and he quickly ducked his head and made to leave.

However, just as Wu Da was leaving, ripples appeared in the void in front of him, and someone stepped out. Wu Da stared blankly before being overcome with joy and offering a respectful bow. "Greetings, Dao Monarch."

It was indeed Lu Yin who had arrived in the spacecraft, as the woman who had appeared in front of Wu Da was the Cyclic Universe’s Yao Lan.

While the woman had not attacked Wu Da, he had felt as though his life had been threatened, and that thought terrified him. Lu Yin’s arrival completely relieved Wu Da’s fears.

Lu Yin glanced at Wu Da before looking back at Yao Lan. "Is it appropriate for you to visit my Heavens Sect without even saying hello to me?"

Yao Lan had not expected Lu Yin to notice her, as she had arrived while suppressing her aura.

She took a deep breath and slowly bowed. "Greetings, Lord Lu."

Wu Da felt much bolder in Lu Yin’s presence, and he lifted his head to get a good look at the woman. She was beautiful, but if Dao Monarch Lu was speaking to her in such a manner, she had to be a Progenitor-level expert.
