Chapter 4310: Possible

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

With that thought, Lu Yin's entire body withered. In the face of the red sword’s killing blow, his eyes grew cold. "Ji He, don’t you want to go to my civilization? Then come with me now."

"Exactly what are you trying to do?" Ji He released another slash of his sword. His attacks were far stronger than Bing Xu's. This strike contained Ji He's understanding of the Path of Dispassion, and he was a Tenfold Crimson while Bing Xu was only an Eightfold Crimson.

Lu Yin instantly evaded, but the red beam suddenly spread out as ripples surged forth in multiple layers. Ji He spun around and released another slash. Headed straight for him were strands of Tri-Azure Sword Intent that had been released from the Investiture of the Gods. There were so many that they formed a long river of sword intent.

Clang, clang, clang…

The sound of countless impacts rang out across the cosmos, and the Tri-Azure Sword Intent was severed. Ji He forcibly cleaved the river of sword intent apart. The chill of his Path of Dispassion was bone deep.

Suddenly, the man retreated. Karma had just appeared in front of him, horrifying him. "Karma?"

Lu Yin raised his hand. His scythe appeared and slashed downward at an angle. A surge of Activeness roared out. At the same time, he released his Karmic Dao, and it expanded to replace the sky and press down upon Ji He.

The Immortal could not believe what he was seeing. That Activeness was clearly from an Immortal, and he absolutely refused to allow Lu Yin’s Karmic Dao to touch him. He had thought that he could capture Lu Yin, but at this moment, Ji He only wanted to avoid the younger man.

However, Lu Yin could teleport, and Ji He had no way to avoid that.

The scythe fell from behind him. Ji He turned around, his sword sweeping across to block. Lu Yin abruptly vanished, only to reappear on Ji He's other side.

The man endured the Activeness pouring into his body. His red umbrella shrank to block the scythe's slash, but the blow still sent him flying. As the scythe moved to fall again, Lu Yin's movement suddenly stalled. The entire void expanded, and Ji He seemed to grow larger. No, it was not the void expanding. This was Ji He's world.

The scythe viciously slammed down, but it could not touch Ji He at all.

The flash of a red beam filled his vision. The shifting void made it so that Lu Yin could not see Ji He's movements for a moment. His only choice was to teleport away.

Ji He’s sword missed again. His face was growing pale. "How do you have the Plume Immortals’ teleportation? It’s impossible!"

"Do you consider those birds to be your father? If those strange birds can do it, then why can’t us humans?" Lu Yin mocked. He vanished again. His scythe fell, and Activeness surged out while karma wildly struck.

Ji He continuously retreated while causing the void to contract and expand. He needed to avoid the karma, Activeness, and the scythe slashes. He could not relax for even a moment. The smallest slip would bring about disaster.

This child actually knows about it! Did Rang Yu tell him? No. He’s mastered karma. He might have seen it for himself. This thought caused bloodlust to surge into Ji He's eyes. He could not allow this brat to leave alive.

But Lu Yin could teleport.

Lu Yin frowned. Ji He was very powerful. After all, he was someone who had lived since the Nine Ramparts era. Even if he did not resonate with two cosmic laws, he was still undoubtedly a top tier expert among those who resonated with one law. He was in no way inferior to Hui, and with the Umbrella Dominion legacy technique, the man was capable of fighting against the Immortal Lord.

It would be difficult for Lu Yin to defeat this man by himself, but he only needed to make contact, just one touch.

But Ji He was on guard precisely against being touched by Lu Yin. Upon learning that Lu Yin could teleport, how could the Immortal not understand the young man’s goal?

The only way forward was the hard way. Lu Yin refused to believe that he could not touch his opponent.

They fought some distance away from the Crimson Starshade Megaverse. Even if Hong Xia and Jiu Wen chased after them, it would take them some time to arrive. That was enough.

Lu Yin released his inner universe. The star of divine energy rotated, and divine energy erupted from his body. The terrifying power instantly pressed down upon Ji He.

The man’s pupils shrank. "Obscura’s divine energy?"

Lu Yin stepped forward, his scythe chopping down. As he moved, he released more divine energy without restraint. His Karmic Dao had already been released, and with divine energy also thrown in, Ji He was left with even less room to dodge.

He shouted angrily, "You have Obscura’s power? So you too have betrayed humanity!"

Lu Yin exhaled. His scythe struck the red umbrella as a red beam pierced his field of vision. He dodged, only to throw a palm strike. Divine energy reinforced his peerless physical strength. There was a blast of thunder as he targeted a large area.

Ji He continued to retreat. He blocked the scythe, rebuffed the Activeness that tried to enter his body, and dodged the karma. However, he could not avoid Lu Yin's palm strike.

The blow caused his blood and qi to churn. Just how had this child cultivated? He was so difficult to deal with.

Just as Lu Yin moved to continue, he was struck by a sense of cold dread. His scalp went numb. It felt like a monster was approaching from far away.

Ji He was thrilled; his master had arrived.

Lu Yin clenched his teeth. He had not expected Hong Xia to arrive so soon. How could the man be so fast? Even a powerhouse who resonated with two cosmic laws should not be able to move this fast. The man was moving only slightly slower than Lu Yin’s own teleportation.

He considered how Hong Xia gave him the same feeling of utter dread that he had felt from Ancestor Shan and Chang Chuan. Hong Xia's strength was unfathomable, and it was possible that he resonated with three cosmic laws. Even if that was not the case, he was definitely a peak powerhouse who resonated with at least two cosmic laws, surpassing the Seven Treasure Anuras’ Old First.

Frustrated, Lu Yin glanced at Ji He before vanishing. He had teleported away.

Ji He had wanted to stop Lu Yin, but there was no way to stop his teleportation.

"Ji He, where is he?"

Ji He's face turned deathly pale, and he dropped to his knees. "He- he left. Master, he can teleport."

"Trash!" Hong Xia shouted harshly. Despite no visible action, Ji He spat out a mouthful of blood. He acted as if he was being pushed into an abyss.

"Why did you take him to see Rang Yu?" Hong Xia shouted harshly.

Ji He felt bitter. He had his own motives; he did not want to be forever suppressed by Jiu Wen and wanted to avoid cultivating Jiu Wen's Path of Dispassion. However, those reasons were not good enough to justify violating his master's orders. Ji He knew that he had caused a catastrophe. "Master, spare me! Master, spare me! Master, spare me!"

"I thought that you could hold him back. I overestimated you."

Ji He despaired. “This child can teleport, has comprehended karma, and possesses Activeness, a power that resonates with the law of weathering death. He has even cultivated Obscura’s power. Your disciple… could not hold him back.”

Boom.

Ji He was pressed down yet again. Cracks spread across his body, inch by inch.

Far away, Lu Yin did not head straight back to the Human Trio, but instead arrived at a pathfinding stone. This pathfinding stone had been placed by Old First. Years ago, when the toad had gone to search for Little Eighteen, he had occasionally left pathfinding stones scattered across the Aevum Inch.

Lu Yin had happened to sense one, and when he reached it, he could sense more in other directions. He immediately used his Mirrorlight Art to look at the next pathfinding stone.

If he was only looking across the cosmos, he would have found nothing at all, but fortunately, a pathfinding stone had been left behind for him.

He teleported away.

An enormous Seven Treasure Anura sat on a meteorite and drifted through the Aevum Inch with a lotus leaf on its head. It looked like it was asleep.

Lu Yin suddenly appeared. "Old First."

This Seven Treasure Anura was indeed Old First. He was startled by Lu Yin, and the toad’s eyes bulged as he stared at the human. "How did you find me?"

Lu Yin said in a low voice, "I need your help."

Old First’s heart sank. He had a good understanding of Lu Yin's strength, and if the human needed help, it would not be something simple. Old First immediately started thinking of a way to refuse.

Lu Yin had helped the Seven Treasure Anuras greatly, but they had also helped Lu Yin on several occasions. In fact, Little Eighteen had even gone missing while rushing to complete a mission for Lu Yin. While their disappearance was not Lu Yin's fault, a great portion of the toads’ debt had already been repaid.

Lu Yin somberly stated, "This concerns the Nine Ramparts. I know that I’m being excessive in asking to act so many times, Senior, but I guarantee that I am not asking you to fight against an enemy this time. I only need you to ensure that I can take one person away. Of course, I won’t hide anything: there is an opposing powerhouse who may resonate with two cosmic laws."

Old First let out a breath. "Two cosmic laws? That is manageable."

The corner of Lu Yin's mouth twitched. He did not actually know if Hong Xia resonated with two cosmic laws. Jiu Wen did, but who could say for Hong Xia?

In Lu Yin’s knowledge, only powerhouses like Ancestor Shan were capable of rapidly crossing vast distances to pursue someone who could teleport. Chang Chuan from the Longevity Civilization had given Lu Yin that same sort of terrifying feeling.

Even though Old First resonated with two cosmic laws, he did not give Lu Yin that same feeling. He was not on the same level as Hong Xia.

Still, Lu Yin had only said that the opponent might resonate with two cosmic laws, not that it was certain.

Old First was very confident. To him, if Lu Yin had fought them, then the opponent likely only resonated with one cosmic law. The fact that Lu Yin was wary of the enemy’s strength was why he had guessed at two laws.

In any case, it could not be three cosmic laws. Against that kind of powerhouse, could Lu Yin even run away?

"Old First, um, get ready. I can see him." Lu Yin looked into the distance with the Mirrorlight Art. With it, he could see as far as an Immortal could travel in twenty years. Lu Yin and the toad were not actually all that far from Ji He's position.

Lu Yin did not see Hong Xia, but he was sure that Hong Xia's power must be there.

There would only be one chance. If he failed to take Ji He away, Hong Xia would be far more cautious the next time, and it would only become more difficult to succeed in the future.

He had to take Ji He away. The man was one of the few experts who had survived since the Nine Ramparts era. Through him, Lu Yin could learn more about the Nine Ramparts era.

He teleported away.

In the Aevum Inch, Lu Yin abruptly appeared directly in front of Ji He, an hand outstretched to grab the man.

Ji He was stunned. He still dares to appear? Hm? A Seven Treasure Anura?

Lu Yin's grab missed, and his expression changed drastically. This was bad. He had fallen into a trap.

Above his head, a red beam flickered as it fell like a meteor.

At that moment, Lu Yin could not move. The entire cosmos had frozen. There was an indescribable terror, as if all things in existence and even the passage of time had been compressed into a single moment.

He forgot everything, including the fact that he could teleport.

Old First’s eyes narrowed. He opened his mouth and roared, shaking the Aevum Inch and causing the red beam to slow for a moment.

In that instance, Lu Yin snapped back to his senses and vanished with Old First.

Hong Xia emerged from the void where Lu Yin had just vanished, surprise on his face. "A powerhouse who resonates with two laws? A toad? I seem to have heard of that…"

The next moment, Ji He also appeared. He had been hidden by Hong Xia. What Lu Yin had seen earlier had only been an illusion.

The man had not expected Lu Yin to truly refuse to abandon capturing him and to actually dare to return to strike again.

Hong Xia let out a contemptuous snort. "Let’s go."

With Old First, Lu Yin moved back to where he had first found the toad along the trail of pathfinding stones. He was breathing hard.

Old First was badly shaken. "That’s the powerhouse you mentioned who resonates with two laws?"

"I said that he might resonate with two laws."

"Why didn’t you say that he might resonate with three laws?" Old First shouted angrily.

Lu Yin gave an awkward smile. "Senior, this junior never fought him. I only fought the man I was trying to take away."

Old First glared at Lu Yin. "Don’t try that with me! I am not Old Fifth. I am not so foolish."

"This junior is certain that Senior is not afraid of that man at all. If I hadn’t been holding you back, you definitely could have faced him, which is why I asked for your help, Senior." Lu Yin hurried to offer a bit of flattery.

Old First’s expression softened a bit. "Of course I’m not afraid of him! He is indeed very strong, but he might not resonate with three laws. If he did, we would have had a hard time escaping."
