Chapter 2501: Blue
The person’s figure that was hidden within the light was in a state of constant flux as she tried to land an attack on Lu Yin. Unfortunately, all such attempts were futile. She was unable to touch even the hem of Lu Yin's clothes.
Lu Yin finally retaliated, and he grabbed a hold of the person after instantly appearing at an intersection of the walls. It was a dead end, and Lu Yin was blocking the only exit. People who passed by the connecting corridor were completely oblivious as to what was happening in the dead end, as Lu Yin was blocking their view.
The details of the figure sharpened, and Lu Yin saw a girl who wore a combat suit from the Transcendent Universe. She stared at Lu Yin with a combination of fear and nervousness. He had noticed her and had dragged her to this dead end after seeing the horns on her head. This girl was one of the natives of the Cloudflow Universe.
"Let me go," she growled.
Lu Yin released her. "Don't bother attacking me again. You can't afford the consequences."
The girl took a few steps back until she was right next to the wall and unable to move any further back. She then just stared at Lu Yin without saying anything.
"You're from the Cloudflow Universe?" Lu Yin asked curiously.
The girl continued to stare at Lu Yin. "You're not from the Transcendent Universe."
"How can you tell?" Lu Yin was surprised.
"If you were from the Transcendent Universe, I would have been captured by now."
Lu Yin nodded. "I'm just curious. As someone from the Cloudflow Universe, why are you hiding in a wall? Aren't you fighting in this battle?"Findd new stories at novelhall.com
"Which universe are you from?" the girl demanded.
Lu Yin's gaze sharpened, and a crushing pressure fell. It felt as though the sky had fallen, and the nearby void was completely shattered.
At that moment, the girl felt as if a god had descended. The terrifying pressure sent her plummeting into the pits of despair. Her mind went completely blank as her body slowly crumpled. She had absolutely no control.
However, the pressure lasted for only a moment.
As soon as Lu Yin withdrew his aura, the girl twisted her body and regained her balance right when she was about to fall to the floor. She looked over at Lu Yin with unmistakable fear in her eyes.
"You- you..." The girl could not say a thing. She had never before experienced such a powerful force, and she struggled to believe what she had just felt.
Lu Yin looked at the girl with open interest and asked, "Do you still have questions?"
She dropped her head. "No, I dare not."
Ever since Lu Yin had arrived in the new universe, his curiosity had been piqued by the place. The odd power that flowed through outer space had captured his attention. The cultivators of the Cloudflow Universe were not weak, as they had proven during the previous battles. There were powerful cultivators with the strength of Semi-Progenitors. This universe had a true cultivation civilization.
Even so, the civilization had been completely conquered by the Transcendent Universe.
Lu Yin wanted to learn as much as he could about the Transcendent Universe through the Cloudflow Universe’s civilization.
The Cloudflow Universe should not be a weak place, considering it had managed to produce the equivalent of Semi-Progenitors. Lu Yin had become curious about the place and whether the universe might be home to any Progenitors.
At this same time, in the Transcendent Universe. There were flowers in full bloom along a certain staircase. A melodious voice rang out, "How is your research proceeding?"
Two boys and a single girl were kneeling at the bottom of the stairs. All three had expressions of devotion on their faces. "We have had smooth progress, Madam. We will not disappoint you."
"Mmm. Whether it’s a cultivation civilization or mythological civilization, all civilizations contain valuable information. If we immerse ourselves only in our own civilization, then others will eventually surpass us. I hope that you will be able to bring an enthusiasm for cultivation to all of the people of the Transcendent Universe. Show the Ruling Council that our future lies in integrating various civilizations." The beautiful voice sounded completely flawless.
All three people enthusiastically replied in unison, "Yes, Madam!"
"Go to the Cloudflow Universe and put on a show of what all you have learned. If you can rouse Qiu Zhan's interest, he will become a part of my vanguard."
"We dedicate our lives to fulfilling Madam’s wishes."
In the Cloudflow Universe, Lu Yin stared at the girl in front of him, shock filling his eyes. If what she had said was true, then the damage the Transcendent Universe had brought to the Cloudflow Universe was truly immense.
Zuo Yu spat out a mouthful of blood as she fell to her knees, clutching her chest. Her face was deathly pale.
Lu Yin shot over to her side and helped her up.
She had forced herself to use a blue energy converter, which had allowed her to wield a power level of 800,000 for an instant, but it had nearly destroyed her body.
"I'm alright," Zuo Yu said hoarsely as she sat down and removed the blue energy converter. She took a moment to catch her breath.
Luo Lao'er patted his chest. "That was close. Thank goodness you're fine."
Mu Duo was stunned. "You can use a blue energy converter?"
Zuo Yu wiped the blood from her lips. "After using it, I need to rest for half a month.”
"That's still impressive," Mu Duo said enviously.
Luo Lao'er suggested, "Why don't you use it, Mu Duo? No need to leave it going to waste."
Others chimed in, "Yeah, use it. We believe in you."
"Good idea. Who knows when another corpse king might show up," the muscular youth commented.
A scream pierced the air. It came from a nearby platform.
Everyone looked over to see a corpse king standing on that platform, slaughtering the people who remained and leaving a trail of blood in its wake.
People stared in a daze. This was exactly what the muscular youth had just mentioned.
Zuo Yu clenched her fists. She had already used her blue energy converter once, which meant that she no longer had anything left to give. Suddenly, she remembered something and tossed the energy converter over to Mu Duo. "Quick, use it!"
Mu Duo caught the energy converter and then looked up just in time to see the corpse king turn to look at them and start charging in their direction.
Mu Duo raced to remove his energy converter and replace it with the blue one he had just received. Blue light illuminated the area, and people watched in anticipation. However, instead of defeating the corpse king, Mu Duo coughed up blood and collapsed. He was unable to make use of the energy converter.
"Luo Lao'er, you use it," Mu Duo said weakly. Blook leaked from his mouth, and he was clearly in terrible shape.
Luo Lao'er directed a conflicted expression towards Lu Yin. "Brother-in-law..."
Lu Yin took decisive action and snatched the blue energy converter from Mu Duo's hand.
At the same time, the corpse king landed on their platform. No one noticed that someone else had also arrived from the opposite direction.
Right as the corpse king landed, a girl fell from above. She was one of the three youths who had been kneeling at the bottom of the staircase covered with flowers.
Everyone's attention was so focused on the corpse king that no one other than Lu Yin even noticed the girl.
As for the girl herself, she directed a curious look at the blue energy converter in Lu Yin's hand, surprised to see that anyone on this platform was capable of using such a thing.
The corpse king attacked, its arm swinging down to attack the people in front of it. Anyone who was touched by the attack would be doomed.
"Brother-in-law, hurry!" Luo Lao'er shouted in panic.
Lu Yin pretended to grit his teeth. "Then let's go all out!"
As he spoke, he removed the green energy converter from his chest.
The girl sneered at Lu Yin's recklessness and drew a sword from her waist. Blue light shone brightly, drawing the corpse king’s attention to her.
She slashed the sword upwards at an angle from beneath the corpse king’s falling hand. Blue power tore through the void as an attack headed towards the corpse king's arm.
The corpse king's arm was severed in an instant. The girl's sword moved with clean and precise movements, without any unnecessary moves. Even Lu Yin was impressed by her attack. Her skill was comparable to Li Zimo's when he had first joined the Sword Sect.
Her skill with the sword was comparable to an Enlighter, but the boost from her blue energy converter meant that her attack was equivalent to that of a four- or even a five-tribulation Envoy. With such skills, killing this corpse king was a breeze for the girl.
