Chapter 2400: Calculations

If not for the Python Ancestor, Lu Yin would have never had such an opportunity to begin with. Undying God would have never just stood in place and allowed Lu Yin to attack him with Extremes Must Be Reversed. Instead, Lu Yin would have died within seconds from a single counterattack.

There was no denying that several coincidences had aligned to give Lu Yin an opportunity to possibly kill one of the Seven Skygods. If he could truly grasp this opportunity, it would be an accomplishment that would go down in history. Such a shocking feat would surpass all the accomplishments of Lu Yin’s countless predecessors.

Undying God was struck hundreds of times. His entire head became deformed, and his body began to slowly collapse. He was about to be beaten to death.

Lu Yin did not reveal even the slightest hint of excitement. He was not even focused on Undying God, but rather on the Python Ancestor.

Ever since Undying God had mentioned that his Progenitor’s world was completely occupied with holding back the Python Ancestor, Lu Yin had been moving his runes closer and closer to the Python Ancestor, and he had noticed an obscure power within the massive snake’s body. Lu Yin believed that the power should belong to Undying God, but even when the Skygod’s body was about to be smashed to pieces, the power within the Python Ancestor's body showed absolutely no signs of weakening at all.

No.?Lu Yin suddenly stopped his assault and his use of Extremes Must Be Reversed. He stared at the nearly destroyed body of Undying God. No, absolutely not like this.

"Why aren’t you still attacking?" Big Sis screamed. "Hurry up and get rid of him!"

Lu Yin let out a long breath. "You’ve been trying to get me to attack you like this."

Big Sis was left confused.

In front of them, the almost completely broken body of Undying God started to wriggle for a bit, and then his wounds started to slowly splice themselves back together. Lu Yin was quickly able to start picking out facial features and the distinctive scarlet eyes. "So close. What a pity."

Lu Yin's expression grew ugly. He had very nearly made a mistake.

"What's going on?" Big Sis was completely puzzled.

Lu Yin softly explained, "He's been trying to get me to smash his body apart so that he can escape from the Python Ancestor. Even if the slipper beats him to pieces, it won’t kill him. He's been using me. His Progenitor’s world that’s been suppressed entirely by the Python Ancestor hasn’t weakened in the slightest, which means that he hasn’t truly been injured."

One of Undying God’s eyes had fallen out, and it dangled in the air, apparently connected by a single fine thread. "How did you figure it out? Not even Yōu Ming was able to notice anything."

Lu Yin said nothing about using the Rune Progenitor’s power.

When attacking Undying God, Lu Yin had simultaneously used the powers of Progenitor Ku, Progenitor Hui, and the Rune Progenitor. Despite that, he had still nearly been used by Undying God.

While Lu Yin had absolutely no idea how Undying God was restoring his ruined body, it was absolutely a method that would allow him to escape his current predicament.

Big Sis frowned. "Then why did he just use his innate gift to drift away again just now? If he hadn’t done that and had allowed the first beating to continue, you wouldn’t have ever noticed any issues."

"That’s because the first beating wasn’t intense enough," Lu Yin solemnly stated.

Big Sis did not understand Extremes Must Be Reversed. When the slipper had first managed to strike Undying God, it had not been because he had been afraid of Lu Yin achieving sufficient mastery of Extremes Must Be Reversed with the Root of Intelligence. Rather, Undying God had been testing something. He had wanted to understand just how powerful the slipper was.

It was clearly very strange that Lu Yin had given E Chi a slipper and a needle to attack Undying God with, and even an idiot would realize that there was something special about the two items. Undying God had wanted to understand the power of the slipper. If possible, the Skygod would be more than willing to be beaten to pieces, but unfortunately, the slipper had simply not been powerful enough, which had necessitated the use of Extremes Must Be Reversed.

People possessed instincts, as did cultivators.

If a person encountered fire, they would reflexively dodge it. In the same manner, a cultivator instinctively avoided fatal attacks, if at all possible. Even while trapped, Undying God’s instincts would make him try to avoid at least a portion of the damage from the slipper, but he had been taking on the full brunt of the attacks.

In other words, he was willing to be smashed into pieces.

If Lu Yin had not discovered that Undying God’s Progenitor’s world had not weakened the slightest bit, then no flaw would have been discovered. Undying God would have been smashed to pieces by the series of attacks, and then he would have restored his body with some unknown method that would simultaneously allow him to escape from the Python Ancestor. At that point in time, Lu Yin would undoubtedly have been killed.

What Lu Yin had believed to be a third personality had been fake as well. In fact, Undying God had been putting on an act the entire time, as he had always been hoping to have someone smash his body to bits.

"As expected of the genius who managed to unite the entire Fifth Mainland. Lu Yin, you are definitely much sharper than Lu Xiaoxuan was. It’s too bad it wasn’t quite enough. In that case, let’s make a mess of things. I may have been trapped here, but this Perennial World will suffer a catastrophe." As he spoke, Undying God’s eyes flared. His scarlet, bloodshot eyes looked like they were about to fall out of their sockets, but at that moment, everyone was able to see Undead God's cruel and vicious eyes. This was not limited to where Lu Yin and Big Sis were standing, as it applied to every part of the Lower Realm, the Middle Realm, the Higher Realm, and even the Outer Realm.

A pair of bloodshot eyes suddenly appeared within the vision of countless people across the Perennial World, and a deathly silence descended upon the place. Everyone was horrified by the sight, and they all stared at what appeared before them.

The eyes appeared in an instant, but they vanished just as quickly.

Lu Yin stared at Undying God. What had he just done?

Big Sis also felt quite confused. She had no idea what Undying God had done.

Undying God let out a hoarse laugh, and as he did so, his battered face grew larger and larger. It was terrifying to see.

…

Far away from where Undying God had been trapped, Liu Shaoge stared on in awe. He had seen the scene of the Python Ancestor’s tail piercing through to the Middle Realm, and he had watched the snake drag a powerful Progenitor into the Lower Realm. He had then witnessed a battle that had suppressed the entire Lower Realm, and just the shockwaves had left the creatures of the Lower Realm trembling and incapacitated out of fear.

That was the level of power that a cultivator should strive for.

"That's the power of a Progenitor, and if the Python Ancestor took action, then that man has to be one of the Aeternals’ top powerhouses. Most likely, he’s one of the Seven Skygods," Xia Shenji's clone solemnly stated as he stared off into the distance. He had seen a great deal, including Lu Yin’s arrival with Progenitor Liu.

"The true body of one of the Seven Skygods?" Liu Shaoge was shocked.

The clone nodded. "What else could have drawn the Python Ancestor's attention and caused the eagle to cry out? Over the course of countless years, that eagle has rarely ever made a sound. It only ever reacts to invaders at this sort of level."

"The Divine Eagle in the Dominion Realm?" Liu Shaoge had believed the bird to be nothing more than a legend. Despite rising to become Yu Chen's assistant while in the Celestial Frost Sect, it had still been impossible for Liu Shaoge to come into contact with information at that level. No one would speak to an Enlighter about such things, and he did not dare to ask for further information about such things.

The clone looked over. "Many legends are true, but the truth is too fantastic for most people to believe, and so the truth is regarded as myth. Progenitors are legends to ordinary people, but did you see what just happened? Your old enemy over there is able to get involved in a Progenitor’s battlefield."

Liu Shaoge took a deep breath. Ancient legends, such as the eagle, the Python Ancestor, the God of Death, and Destiny had all gradually proven to be true. The universe as Liu Shaoge knew was becoming more and more exciting.

Suddenly, Xia Shenji's clone turned to look in a specific direction. In that place, the ground was moving as though something was about to emerge.

The clone frowned. What was that? A corpse king?

Boom!

A figure leaped out of the ground, and dark, empty eye sockets turned to stare at the clone and Liu Shaoge. If Lu Yin were present, he would instantly recognize what had erupted from the ground; it was the same as the desiccated corpse that had chased him down in the Fifth Mainland and nearly killed him. Aeternus had released many of the dried up corpses to hunt down people with ancient bloodlines after Burial Garden had opened.

That same sort of desiccated corpse had just appeared in the Perennial World.

Naturally, the corpse had no fear, and it charged at Xia Shenji's clone, only to be casually destroyed. "How could something from Aeternus be here in the Lower Realm? This is very odd."

Liu Shaoge stared at the shattered remains of the dried up corpse, also feeling that something was very odd about the situation. He could not come up with any possible answers.

Neither of the two noticed that, when the corpse was destroyed, a hint of something dark red seeped into the ground and disappeared. This dark-red color seemed to then deliberately make its way towards Undying God. However, even if someone noticed it, they would assume it to be blood.

At the same time, more of the desiccated corpses appeared throughout the entire Lower Realm. They posed no danger at all to the beasts living in the Lower Realm, but the moment the corpses came across any humans, they would instantly attack.

Qian Zou also noticed a dried up corpse. He had made his way to the Lower Realm to train himself, never expecting to see the Python Ancestor pierce through to the Middle Realm. Qian Zou was nearly squashed by a falling boulder. No matter how fast he might be, it was impossible for him to escape the shockwaves of a battle at the Progenitor level, and he had managed to survive through sheer luck.

Afterwards, as he was walking away, a desiccated corpse had appeared in front of him. Such a thing was not unfamiliar to Qian Zou, as he had encountered them in the Fifth Mainland. "They’re here, too? Help–!"

The corpse chased after the man.

Meanwhile, in the Middle Realm, many additional corpses clawed their way out of the ground, and many more emerged from various pond civilizations. The families who owned the pond civilizations were slaughtered, and blood soon covered the Middle Realm. In the city that lay directly beneath the Wang family’s floating mainland, no less than a hundred dried up corpses appeared, and they immediately started killing everyone that they encountered. Some of the corpses even appeared in the valley of the New Corridor’s exit, but with the presence of so many cultivators from both the Fifth Mainland and the Perennial World, the corpses were instantly wiped out in that location.

Yet even as the dried up corpses were being eliminated, more and more of the dark-red color was seeping into the ground.

Back down in the Lower Realm, Semi-Progenitor Wu Yao was rushing to the location where Undying God had been trapped.

The battle that had broken out at the Liu family’s home had been violent enough that the surface of the Middle Realm had been pierced through, and it was impossible for the four ruling powers to ignore such a thing.

Only a short amount of time had passed since Undying God had entered the Perennial World, but people from the four ruling powers were already starting to appear.

After Wu Yao arrived, he was quickly joined by Xia Ziheng, Mr. Yu, Qing Chen, and two unfamiliar Semi-Progenitors.

Not even the four ruling powers were certain as to how many powerhouses remained hidden throughout the Perennial World.

Ce Donglai had also arrived.

When it came to the Seven Skygods, no one dared to be the slightest bit careless.

If not for the massive assault on the Dominion Realm, it would not be Semi-Progenitors visiting the Lower Realm, but rather Progenitors. After all, only the top powerhouses had a clear understanding of the situation.

Lu Yin briefly explained what had happened.

Wu Yao spat coldly, "So he was hiding as that old bastard Liu Song? I always thought that there was something was wrong with him, but I never thought that he would be a Semi-Progenitor avatar of one of the Seven Skygods."

"You knew that there was something wrong with Liu Song? Why didn't you ever say anything?" Qing Chen was immediately upset, and he turned to glare at Wu Yao.

Wu Yao had only made the comment out of reflex due to the fact that he had simply not liked Liu Song for a long time. How could Wu Yao let an opportunity to add insult to injury slip by? He had not considered that Qing Chen would actually take such a comment seriously.

"I asked you something!" Qing Chen yelled.

Wu Yao looked at the man. "I'm not some criminal for your Humility’s Gate to capture, so don’t use that tone with me!"

"If you knew that there was something wrong with Liu Song, why wouldn’t you say something?" Lu Yin asked the same question, though when compared to Qing Chen, Lu Yin was a much more intimidating interrogator.

Qing Chen and Wu Yao were both Semi-Progenitors, and neither believed that they could overwhelm the other, but Lu Yin was different. He had already fought against four Semi-Progenitors on his own, and he had even managed to kill one of them. Since then, he had shown himself capable of using various tools to repel Progenitors, and even the four ruling powers’ Progenitors were wary of Lu Yin’s strength. Against Lu Yin, Wu Yao instinctively grew afraid. "I just felt that there was something off about him. I actually feel the same way about the God of Food. Is Humility’s Gate going to investigate him as well just because of my feelings?"

Lu Yin frowned.
