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.
lightsΝοvel 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?"
"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.
Once again, Lu Yin was reminded of Gu Yue's actions. That man had truly been wise to try to prevent the Three Monarchs Universe from connecting to the Fifth Mainland!
The Fifth Mainland could not afford to follow in the footsteps of the Cloudflow Universe.
"For us, it might be acceptable to become a corpse king. At least that would be better than having to endure the torture that the Transcendent Universe puts us through day after day. They don't have any emotions, and they don’t even see us as living creatures, but only as mere tools," the girl spat angrily.
"Who is the strongest person in the Cloudflow Universe?" Lu Yin asked.
The girl replied, "Lord Cloudflow."
"Lord Cloudflow? This universe was named after him?" Lu Yin was surprised.
The woman nodded. "Before Lord Cloudflow appeared, very few people in this universe cultivated, and space itself was different. Lord Cloudflow transformed this universe and created the power that drifts around the stars that allows us to cultivate.
"Our horns are a natural side-effect of cultivating Lord Cloudflow's power. They make it easier for us to cultivate his power."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. This Lord Cloudflow had to be a Progenitor, given that he had the power to change the universe. There was no other way that he could have altered the entire universe and influenced the evolution of the natives.
Suddenly, an alarm blared.
Lu Yin's expression grew serious. "Aeternus is attacking!"
He turned and left, leaving the girl standing where she was in a daze. Wait, she was free to go?
Lu Yin had no worries of the girl exposing him. He was not from the Transcendent Universe, and had no concern for any of the grudges between the two universes.
