Chapter 4530: Duality Seal

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Opposite Lu Yin, the bone bird did not press its attack. Instead, it looked at its own talons and then turned back to Lu Yin as though truly seeing him for the first time. "A human skeleton, an Aberrant, actually managed to take my talons head-on. No wonder you dare to take part in this competition to become an Abyssal."

"Who are you?" Lu Yin asked in a hoarse voice.

The bone bird spread its wings. "Dark Prisonbones Great Golden Wings."

Dark Prisonbone? Lu Yins wariness spiked. That was one of the seven Abyssals. This Great Golden Wings had to be an absolute powerhouse from Dark Prisonbones Abyss, second only to the Abyssal itself.

Lu Yin felt like he had returned to the time when he had just become an Aberrant and was facing Lan Meng.

Great Golden Wings flapped its bone wings. "Being able to block my talons once proves that you are quite impressive. If you could break into the Immortal realm, you would definitely be on my level. Unfortunately, you are not an Immortal being. For Withered Requiem to actually agree to let you compete was pure foolishness."

As the bird spoke, it suddenly vanished. Stars revolved around Lu Yin. He suddenly took a step back and to the right. In front of him, a massive bone wing swept by. All Lu Yin could do was raise both of his arms and block the attack directly.

With a bang, he was sent flying.

Great Golden Wings vanished as it approached him once more.

It changed its trajectory. It had initially relied on pure speed to launch a fierce assault, but this time was different. Its speed did not change. Lu Yin could clearly see the bird, and yet it was still able to hit him. Something was wrong.

The stars around Lu Yin trembled, and streams of Stillness linked together, sealing off his surroundings.

With another bang, he was blasted away again.

I still failed to block it? Lu Yin was shocked.

Great Golden Wings was no less surprised. Given its strength, any one of its attacks should have shattered this human skeleton, and yet he had withstood them repeatedly. This level of toughness exceeded the birds imagination. Its opponent was far from simple.

Although Lu Yin had created his skeleton clone before breaking into the Immortal realm, at the time, Lu Yin had already been capable of fighting against two-law Immortals. When enduring the attacks of powerhouses at that level, he had not only relied on his various powers and abilities, but also on the strength of his body, which included his bones. In fact, his bones could be considered the foundation that supported everything.

While his bones alone were certainly not capable of participating in battles at that level, Great Golden Wings was also not a two-law Immortal.

For the time being, as long as Great Golden Wings' attack power did not undergo a qualitative change, the bird would struggle to break the bones of Lu Yins clone.

Still, struggling did not mean impossible. Just as how Lu Yin had dismantled Death's Dominion, if this bird repeatedly struck the same spot, its attacks would eventually be effective.

Lu Yin could not remain too passive.

Great Golden Wings suddenly vanished, approaching again.

This time, its attack aligned precisely with its previous attack. The bird had thought of the same thing as Lu Yin; if once was not enough, then it would attack twice. It would eventually shatter this skeleton.

Lu Yin was struck again and again. No matter how clearly the Cosmic Art allowed him to see Great Golden Wings' movements, he was still hit. There was no chance at all to dodge. The only thing that he could do was forcibly change the location of the blows that he endured at the moment he was struck. That simply prevented Great Golden Wings from striking the same spot each time.

Gradually, Lu Yin understood. This had to be a cosmic law at work. The cosmic law that Great Golden Wings resonated with allowed it to see how its opponent would defend. Combined with the birds exceptional speed, he was left unable to dodge.

Now that he understood what was happening, Lu Yin naturally had to counterattack.

One star of Stillness after another gathered close to him, the range of the Cosmic Art contracting. Before his eyes, a bone wing descended and swept across.

He raised his hand, and as his palm appeared, stars appeared. The bones of his hand were as black as ink due to the gathering Stillness. He threw another palm strike, but the bone wing vanished. His attack hit nothing, and Lu Yin was blasted away yet again.

He glanced at the dent in his bones. The bird had reacted in advance. Had Great Golden Wings predicted his attack ahead of time? No. It had predicted it at the same moment that he had attacked.

Great Golden Wings vanished again and attacked.

The stars continued to revolve around Lu Yin. He suddenly turned around to face behind him: Endless Recall.

Since the bird predicted his movement at the same moment that he attacked, he would simply make that moment one that was impossible to avoid.

Endless Recall did not require him to touch a target, so although Great Golden Wings could see the direction of the approaching attack, it was trying to dodge the incoming momentum of the attack. In other words, it could avoid making contact with Lu Yin's palm, but if the attack did not require contact and only focused on the precise moment in which it was unleashed, the bird could not avoid anything.

That was because, at the same instant that it clearly saw the path of the palm strike, it was already too late.

Endless Recall: one thought remembered, eternal in the world.

Great Golden Wings was struck by Endless Recall, and it suddenly stopped in mid-air. Seizing the opportunity, Lu Yin threw another palm strike, and this blow connected solidly with the birds head, causing the skull to twist around as Great Golden Wings was sent flying.

Lu Yin stepped forward and struck again, but the bird had already reacted. At most, Endless Recall could only briefly trap an Immortal within a single thought. After all, the gap between them was quite large.

For a Dukkhan to surpass their own cultivation realm and fight an Immortal was already exceptionally rare, and Great Golden Wings was a peak one-law Immortal. It far surpassed an Immortal.

Lu Yin's second strike missed. For the first time, Great Golden Wings retreated to avoid the attack, and then it turned to examine Lu Yin in bewilderment. "What sort of power was that?"

Lu Yin raised his arm and clenched a fist. "So you are also capable of retreating?"

Great Golden Wings calm replied, "To think that you could make me lose focus for even an instant. They say that humans possess countless battle techniques and cultivation methods, and it seems to be true. Only you humans could come up with such a flashy method."

Endless Recall was not something that the human civilization had created, but of course, there was no need to explain that.

"Are you very familiar with humanity?"

"I am not, but Dark Prisonbone is. It has killed quite a few humans."

Lu Yin stared at Great Golden Wings. "Dark Prisonbone?"

Great Golden Wings continued, "You should be from Withered Requiem's Abyss. Compared to Dark Prisonbone, Withered Requiem is not even worth mentioning. It knows nothing about human civilization at all. Otherwise, it would have never allowed you to particpate in this competition to become an Abyssal because you are sure to die. The Death Megaverse will never allow a human to become an Abyssal. Even if you were granted Bone Script and became a creature of the Death Megaverse, it is still impossible. You are destined to die.

"You will not die because of this competition to become an Abyssal, but rather because of Withered Requiem's ignorance."

Lu Yin contemptuously shot back, "They are both Abyssals. At best, Dark Prisonbone has simply lived a bit longer. What great advantage can that offer? Does greater knowledge make you an Abyssal? How many humans could it have killed?"

Great Golden Wings cackled. "You truly know nothing! Dark Prisonbone was originally a Plume Immortal. It was their invincible ancestor who once led them to attack humanity's most glorious Nine Ramparts, but there is no need to tell you about such things. You will die without question."

"And what about you? What are you?" Lu Yin asked in return.

Great Golden Wings proudly declared, "I once tore a Plume Immortal apart while it was still alive, gaining Dark Prisonbone's appreciation! Before my flesh died, I was granted Bone Script, which allowed me to live on in another manner. Now, I will definitely seize the position of Abyssal and become the Death Megaverses seventh Abyssal."

Lu Yin was stunned. "You tore a living Plume Immortal apart?"

"That's right!" Great Golden Wings was very proud of that fact. Lu Yin did not doubt that it possessed the strength needed to accomplish that. Although Plume Immortals were able to teleport, some creatures had their own means of countering teleportation. Lu Yin himself had killed several Plume Immortals, and Furball had also crushed one of the birds. What puzzled Lu Yin was that, since Great Golden Wings had killed a Plume Immortal, why had it still pledged itself to Dark Prisonbone?

Judging by its attitude, this bird was even proud of that fact.

He asked the question, prompting a sneer from Great Golden Wings. "Dark Prisonbone is no longer a Plume Immortal! It was once a Plume Immortal, but after being granted Bone Script, it completely broke away from that species. Are you not the same? Are you still a member of human civilization?

"Memories can be preserved, but emotions will change because you gained life by tearing free of yourself. You and your former self are not the same person. The more time that passes, the more that you will forget who you once were. You will only remember how you were previously bound by that flesh and blood and how only by tearing away from it could you be freed. What that flesh and blood represents is your former civilization. The you now is the you that is truly free."

Lu Yin stared at Great Golden Wings. "Are you so certain that you will win? Even if you look down on me, what about the experts from the other Abysses?"

Great Golden Wings sneered. "None are as fast as me!"

After speaking, it waved its bone wings. Its body did not move. Instead, an illusory phantom appeared in front of it and charged at Lu Yin. It was another Great Golden Wings, but merely a phantom.

Lu Yin hurriedly dodged.

The next moment, one phantom after another of Great Golden Wings attacked him. The skeleton bird itself vanished, only to appear in every direction. "Soaring Wings."

Lu Yin avoided some phantoms, but he could not avoid them all. His body was viciously flung away. These phantoms attacked with a power that was no weaker than Great Golden Wings own attacks. While some could be dodged, there were simply too many of them.

Lu Yins only choice was to keep detonating stars of Stillness to meet the attacks head-on. One star after another trembled and exploded. Stillness surged forth, causing the surrounding void to churn and boil.

"Human skeleton, how long can you last for?" Great Golden Wings shrieked.

Perhaps because the Plume Immortals had been mentioned, Lu Yin felt that this skeleton bird's voice actually sounded similar to Ming Yu, Chang Dou, Nan Jing, and the other Plume Immortals. Damn mangy bird!

He raised a bone hand: Extremes Must Be Reversed.

It had originally been very difficult for him to cultivate Extremes Must Be Reversed, but it was not difficult for his clone to recultivate it. His level was currently too high. In the end, although Extremes Must Be Reversed was extremely useful, its creator, Progenitor Ku, had never come even close to reaching the level of even Lu Yins skeleton clone. This was no different from how Thousand Machinations had instantly learned the Cosmic Art. Lu Yin's skeleton clone was able to easily master Extremes Must Be Reversed.

The only problem was that the clone could not use Extremes Must Be Reversed on flesh and blood. Instead, Lu Yin could only apply it to his Stillness.

In the past, he had used Extremes Must Be Reversed on his scythe, Aberrant, to produce Stillness. Now, Extremes Must Be Reversed could be used on Stillness to produce Activeness.

With Stillness in his left hand and Activeness in his right, the two powers fused: Duality Seal.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Phantom after phantom was scattered away. Lu Yin charged forward, using Endless Recall against Great Golden Wings.

The bird had never anticipated that Lu Yin would be able to scatter its phantoms. Each phantom was no weaker than an attack from its true body. This meant that Lu Yin's current attack was capable of overpowering Great Golden Wings attack. Impossible!

In its carelessness, it was again struck by Endless Recall.

Lu Yin appeared behind Great Golden Wings and struck its head with a Duality Seal. He was using the inspiration that he had gained when fighting Death's Dominion. That Abyssal had been a two-law Immortal: All Things Proceed from Life, and All Things End in Death. By relying on these two laws, it had created the Duality Seal, an overwhelmingly strong battle technique that had suppressed Lu Yin to the point where he struggled to even breathe before his Immortal realm breakthrough.

Back then, Lu Yin had been capable of easily dealing with someone of Great Golden Wings' strength. At this moment, Lu Yins skeleton clone relied on Extremes Must Be Reversed to create the Duality Seal by fusing Activeness and Stillness. While the power of his version was certainly not equal to Death's Dominion's, it still gave Lu Yins clone the ability to contend with Great Golden Wings.

The fusion of Activeness and Stillness forcefully doubled his destructive power. The Duality Seal had nearly blasted Great Golden Wings' head off.
