Chapter 3191: The Path To Immortality

Mr. Daheng was trembling as he stared at his skeletal abdomen. This condition would not kill him, as he was a sequence powerhouse, but he would need a great deal of time to recover.

"What's wrong with him?" Second Meng asked, stunned.

Lu Yin dropped into the Mirari Realm, and he calmly walked into the mist.

The next moment, Tian Fa arrived as well. "Hmm? The Mirari Realm?"

Finally, Second Zi entered, and Second Gu instantly reacted. White bones moved to pull the woman over to the rest of Second Life. Without that intervention, the woman would have landed on Astral Anura's head. While Second Life did not know Astral Anura, the toad radiated a sense of danger that was terrifyingly strong.

The Mirari Realm was no longer quiet, having suddenly been filled with so many people.

The mist of time slowly drifted about, but the sight of the shifting mist made Second Gu and everyone else cautious, and they all continuously moved towards areas that were free from the mist.

Astral Anura was not overly concerned. He understood that the mist was time itself, but for a powerful Dukkhan, the power of time was nothing unknown, and Astral Anura could defend himself against the mist.

On the other hand, Mr. Daheng was utterly terrified.

Lu Yin and Shan Gu both stood within the mist, and their location made them particularly conspicuous.

Tian Fa spoke in a deep voice, "Dao Monarch Lu, do you believe that entering the Mirari Realm will allow that man to escape heaven’s punishment?

"No one can escape it!"

Astral Anura looked over in astonishment. "Tian Fa of the four Boundary Guardians? You’re actually here, too."

In the First Scourge, the toad had seen Tian En, the butterfly that delivered heaven’s grace. Soon afterwards, he saw the blood-red liquid that was Tian Fa. Astral Anura visibly grew more cautious.

The mass of blood-red liquid that was Tian Fa shifted, and the creature seemed to be looking at Astral Anura. "Hmm? It's you? We've met before."

Astral Anura grinned, but it was a fawning smile. The toad waved his lotus leaf in a rather humorous manner. "That’s right, we've met before, we have indeed. Go right ahead with your business and don't mind me at all. Just carry on."

Lu Yin looked at Astral Anura. "Astral Anura, didn’t we agree to deal with Tian Fa here in the Mirari Realm? I paid you by giving you entry into the Mirari Realm."

Killing intent surged from Tian Fa, and bloodlust filled the Mirari Realm with a blood-red tint. The sight of the sudden change caused Second Gu and his companions to shudder in fear. They did their best not to disturb anyone. It was clear to the four that they were surrounded by terrifyingly powerful individuals. Even if Lord Lu was not yet a peak powerhouse, his strength exceeded his cultivation to an absurd degree.

Astral Anura shrieked, "Lu Yin, don't spout nonsense like that! When did I ever agree to a deal with you? That's Tian Fa we're talking about! You actually want to take out one of the Boundary Guardians? Are you insane?"

A smile spread across Lu Yin's lips. "Stop playing around. Tian Fa isn’t going to trust you. If you want to launch a sneak attack, you should just forget it. You need to fight openly."

The young man then turned to stare at Tian Fa. "You four Boundary Guardians keep making trouble for my Heavens Sect, again and again. Do you really think that I don’t know you’re helping Aeternus? After I deal with you, Tian En will be next."

"You intend to go against us, the Boundary Guardians? Do you have any idea what this megaverse would be like without us?" Tian Fa's voice dropped even lower. "You humans are too ungrateful! Without us, how would you have enjoyed any peaceful living? We have sacrificed so much for this megaverse. We’re the ones who maintain stability in this place by holding off external threats."

"Is that why you attacked the Origin Progenitor?" Lu Yin shouted sternly.

Astral Anura was stunned. Had the four Boundary Guardians attacked the humans’ Origin Progenitor?

Tian Fa fell silent for a moment before replying, "Humanity is an unstable race. The Origin Progenitor locked the Mirari Realm to this megaverse. We warned him against it, but he continued his recklessness and was too arrogant. If he were allowed to continue, the day would eventually come when he connected this megaverse to others, which would have reduced our years of effort to nothing. We acted for the greater good of this megaverse.

Just as the punch drew close to the creature, it suddenly disappeared.

Hongyan Mavis was puzzled. How was that possible?

No one could understand what had just happened, not even Astral Anura. However, the toad was certain that Tian Fa had used sequence particles.

There were an infinite variety of sequence particles, and the law of the universe that one mastered depended on themselves alone. As for what law Tian Fa had comprehended, that was yet to be determined.

Endless blades sliced at Hongyan Mavis.

The void chains that bound Lu Yin suddenly snapped. He twisted his wrist while releasing the universe from his heart and visualizing the landmass, merging reality and the visualization. At the same time, the Wordless Heavenly Book appeared, and it released a golden light that filled the Mirari Realm while granting vitality to the landmass that was dropping down upon Tian Fa.

Tian Fa was taken aback. "The Origin Progenitor’s power? That's the acknowledgement of the Origin Universe."

As the landmass descended, an endless number of blades bloomed around Tian Fa like a lotus before slashing upward at the falling landmass. The endless blades slammed into the landmass and slowly wore away at it. Long ago, Feng Bo had used his tower-shaped sword to resist the landmass, and Tian Fa was using its endless blades to achieve the same effect.

Even Ortusers could simply ignore an attack with a destructive power at the same level as the Seven Skygods.

Ortusers could be impressively more powerful than peak powerhouses, but the strength of the two realms could also be nearly indistinguishable.

Advancing in cultivation did not always equate to an increase in combat power.

Ortusers could not be touched by the laws of the universe, so if Lu Yin’s attack was powerful because of sequence particles, it would pose much less of a threat to Tian Fa. It was the fact that Lu Yin was using nothing more than his own strength, with no sequence particles at all, that made him an actual threat to Ortusers. In fact, Lu Yin was at least as much of a threat to Tian Fa as Hongyan Mavis and the other Three Realms and Six Daos.

"Astral Anura, why aren't you helping?" Lu Yin roared, clearly enraged.

The toad was startled. "Lu Yin, stop saying that! How could I ever help you fight against the Boundary Guardians? I'm friends with the four of them!"

"I already paid you!"

"I don't accept deals that guarantee losses."

"Don't you want to reach Immortality?"

That one sentence caused Lu Yin to fully capture the attention of even Tian Fa. Immortality was a legendary cultivation realm, and no one in the entire megaverse had ever reached it. That was true even for the one acknowledged as the strongest being in history: the Origin Progenitor.

Astral Anura froze. "What did you say? Immortality? Pah, you think you're qualified to talk about such a thing? You're nothing more than a Semi-Progenitor!"

"And what about me?" Hongyan Mavis stared at Astral Anura. "I've spent countless years in the Mirari Realm. I stayed here from the time my Second Mainland shattered, and I’ve explored every corner of this place. If Aeternus hadn't stolen my Progenitor’s world, I would have broken through long ago.

"I’ll also tell you the same thing. The Mirari Realm holds a path to Immortality."

Astral Anura raised his lotus leaf up as he leaped about, cursing. "Do you take me for an idiot? If there’s a path to Immortality, why didn't the Origin Progenitor take it? You must think I’m a fool! I'm a businessman, and I only accept deals with guaranteed profits!"

Even as she countered the endless blades, Hongyan Mavis continued to speak to Astral Anura. "That path is not intended for humans. Other creatures have created their own civilizations in this megaverse before the appearance of humanity, and the path here was made for those species, not for humans. However, you're not human."

"Who do you think you’re insulting! Wait, you're right, I'm not human... Are you serious?" Astral Anura hesitated. He had always believed that the Mirari Realm hid a path to Immortality, and if anyone knew about the Mirari Realm, there was no doubt that it would be the Origin Progenitor or his people. The Origin Progenitor had anchored the Mirari Realm to the Origin Universe, which required a level of strength that not even the four Boundary Guardians had been able to overlook. After that, the man’s disciples had frequently entered the Mirari Realm, so it was impossible for them to not know the place’s secrets.

"Why do you think Destiny recultivated from the beginning? You must have heard about that. She discovered that path. If not for that, given her innate talent, she would have been the first of us to break through. You know that she has always been the most talented of us all," Hongyan Mavis continued to tempt the toad.
