Chapter 3905: What Do I Have to Fear?

The entire Seventh Night Pillar fell silent. Humans could be very sensitive, and there were times when they could sense an indescribable crisis that was approaching.

In particular, the Morrow Behemoth underground had awoken, but it did not dare to move, not even to roll over.

Near the pillar, a broad lake occasionally had ripples disturb its surface. Within its water, fish darted about, both lively and calm. An old man was fishing, and he was surprised to see the ripples appear with increasing frequency, as he did not know the cause.

Another half an hour passed, and Lu Yin’s communication device finally vibrated. Jue Rou was calling.

Lu Yin stared at the display.

“Five people made the proposal. The East Domain’s Nanshan City, Idle King Wen Jun.

“The South Domain’s Sea of Emotions, Unaging Deity.

“The West Domain’s Skyveil City, Lord Yan.

“The North Domain’s Jiu Mu.

“Finally, there’s Yue Bei, who was once Lesser Sancte Yue Ya’s disciple.

“The five of them suggested resetting the Tianyuan and transferring the Spirit Nidus’s cultivators over. Their suggestion received Lesser Sancte Xing Fan’s approval, and she reported it to the Greater Sancti. Right now, Xing Fan and Yue Bei are both waiting before the Frightened Sparrow Terrace.”

Nearby, Jing Lian was startled by what he overheard. “What? Reset the Tianyuan Megaverse?”

He instantly understood the reason for Lu Yin’s sudden burst of bloodlust.

Wei Heng coldly stated, “I’ve heard of each of them. All of them accepted a Seed Transfusion to become peak Dukkhans. None of them possess any real strength, but they are all quite famous.”

Gu Duanke grew puzzled. “Why would such people do something so flamboyant? They became peak Dukkhans largely through luck. When it comes to actual strength, they can’t compare to even the most common peak Dukkhan who achieved their cultivation on their own. Why did they step forward with such a proposal?”

Lu Yin closed his eyes. “Is there anyone else?”

Jue Rou shook her head. “No. Um... Second Sister told me to tell you that this was definitely Xing Fan’s decision. Those five are nothing more than an excuse. Even without them, Xing Fan would have found people to make the proposal with him, just to have a legitimate reason to report it to the Greater Sancti. So... don’t do anything too rash. These people aren’t worth ruining your name over.”

Lu Yin’s eyes opened once more. “I understand. Thank you.”

With that, he ended the call.

Just as he was about to put his communication device away, it vibrated again. Lu Siyu was calling him.

Lu Yin did not answer. He simply let out a breath and looked up at the Frightened Sparrow Terrace. “The tree wishes to be still, and yet the wind never stops. Let’s see just how many I will need to kill in this megaverse.”

Gu Duanke and the others felt their hearts drop. Not good! He’s going to attack.

Jing Lian instantly spoke up. “Don’t be rash! You-”

Before he could even finish speaking, Lu Yin’s eyes flickered as an indescribable, terrifying consciousness erupted from him with enough force to knock back Jing Lian, Wei Heng, and even Gu Duanke. “This matter has nothing to do with you. Just act like you saw nothing.”

With that, the vast consciousness shot into the sky, straight for the Frightened Sparrow Terrace.

The consciousness was visible as a majestic beam of light pierced the starry sky in an instant.

At that moment, every cultivator still on the Seventh Night Pillar looked up, startled by the overwhelming pressure that had suddenly appeared. Then, the area affected by the pressure expanded, and everyone in the East Domain looked up at the Mother Tree’s canopy. They saw Lu Yin’s consciousness shooting at the Frightened Sparrow Terrace. What is that?

A line appeared in the endless sky, connecting the Seventh Night Pillar to the Mother Tree’s canopy. It was a pillar of endless, unfathomable consciousness.

At the same time, four Tri-Azure Sword Intents were released from the Seventh Night Pillar, scattering like fireworks as they shot out in four different directions.

In the East Domain’s Nanshan City, there was a luxurious palace filled with laughter and song. There were dancers and hundreds of beautiful women moving about. At the center of it all sat a middle-aged man with a beautiful woman in his arms. He basked in the warmth and beauty that surrounded him. Suddenly, the man’s expression changed drastically, and he looked up to see the terrifying pillar of consciousness that stretched into the heavens. That consciousness radiated a pressure that covered the sky. The man’s face grew pale, and a tremor wracked his body. “Lu Yin... Is that Lu Yin’s consciousness? He didn’t leave?

“Xing Fan, you lied to me! You lied to meeeee...!”

The following moment, the Tri-Azure Sword Intent fell. The man saw the attack and lashed out to try to stop it, but his efforts were entirely useless. The slash sliced through his body, pinning him to the floor. His blood stained the palace.

The man’s name was Wen Jun, and he had been known as the Idle King because he had been born into an imperial family. Due to his heritage, he had never had to fight for power, and he had always been idle, even after acquiring a powerful cultivation. His life had focused solely on pleasure. The only mistake that he had made was trusting Xing Fan and believing that Lu Yin had left Nine Odysseys Megaverse and returned to the Spirit Nidus. He had thought that Lu Yin was responsible for the assault on the Skyward Gate, which was why he had agreed to Xing Fan’s proposal to reset the Tianyuan Megaverse. As for the lives of those in that megaverse, Wen Jun had never cared at all.

A few breaths passed after Wen Jun’s blood stained the floor. In the South Domain’s Sea of Emotions, a kindly-looking old man was fishing. When he sensed the pressure from the pillar of consciousness, he helplessly released his fishing rod and stared upwards in a daze, murmuring, “I only wished to restore my face... There was nothing more... Why has it come to this?

“Xing Fan, you told us that Lu Yin wasn’t in Nine Odysseys Megaverse... You lied to us! You lied-” The Tri-Azure Sword Intent fell, shattering the rocks in the sea and sending waves crashing. All that remained was a fishing rod floating atop the water.

That man had been known as Unaging Deity. He had dreamed of never aging, due to the fact that his face had been disfigured in his youth and could not be restored. His wish had also become his Dukkha.

Xing Fan had promised to restore the man’s face, provided he proposed to reset the Tianyuan.

He did not care at all if the Tianyuan was reset or not. His only concern had been if Lu Yin was still in the Nine Odysseys Megaverse. Xing Fan had told the man that Lu Yin had ordered the Spirit Nidus’s people to assault the Skyward Gate and that Lu Yin would negotiate terms with the Nine Odysseys Megaverse. All of that meant that the man was no longer present and also that he would never be allowed to enter the Nine Odysseys Megaverse. Because of that, Unaging Deity had agreed, and thus, he had died.

In the West Domain’s Hidden Heaven City, someone flew into the sky, frantically screaming, “Jue family, save me! Yu family, save meee-!”

Within the Jue family’s estate, Jue Ling silently watched as the Tri-Azure Sword Intent tore past the stars to rip the man’s body to pieces, scattering his blood across the sky.

That man had been Lord Yan. He had once been a hidden powerhouse in Skyveil City who served the Chen family. The man had lost all of his status when the Chen family was destroyed, and for that, he had hated Lu Yin.

Xing Fan had found the man and simply said that Lu Yin was not in the Nine Odysseys Megaverse. Lord Yan had immediately agreed to make the suggested proposal. If it was impossible for him to kill Lu Yin, then he would at least be able to destroy what Lu Yin cared about the most: the Tianyuan Megaverse.

Jue Rou and Jue Qing stood side by side as they watched in shock. In the end, Lu Yin had still struck.

They had assumed that Lu Yin might lash out, and they had even warned him not to, but their efforts were fruitless. He had still attacked, killing Lord Yan from another domain. If Lord Yan was dead... did that mean the others were as well? What about those who were at the Frightened Sparrow Terrace?

In the North Domain, Jiu Mu stood outside the ruins of Ruler Garden. In front of him were people from Deathmound, who were within the ruins.

When Lu Yin’s consciousness pierced the sky and shot towards the Frightened Sparrow Terrace, Jiu Mu looked up. He simply closed his eyes and muttered, “So... I really was deceived...”

“You knew that you were deceived? Then why did you make that proposal?” someone asked as they stepped forward. Zhao Yi emerged from the ruins of Ruler Garden.

Jiu Mu looked over at Zhao Yi. “You would have found me sooner or later anyway, so why not take a gamble? Even if I die, I can drag the Tianyuan Megaverse down with me.”

Zhao Yi stared at Jiu Mu. “Yan Boheng, who stole spirit seeds for Seed Transfusions, is publicly declared a traitor to Ruler Garden, but he was actually protected by the sect. You’re right, we would have found you eventually, even if you hadn’t revealed yourself.”

From far away, the Tri-Azure Sword Intent fell from the sky, slicing straight through Jiu Mu’s body and dropping to the ground.

Zhao Yi stared at the blood on the ground and let out a breath. Deathmound had sealed Ruler Garden off to wait for this man to appear. With his death, Ruler Garden was finally and truly gone. Unexpectedly, it was entirely because of Lu Yin.

However, Lu Yin had acted far too recklessly. Why had the four men been left down on the ground instead of being taken up to the Frightened Sparrow Terrace? Because Xing Fan had left them behind for Lu Yin to kill. This would make him even more hated and feared by the Nine Odysseys Megaverse.

Killing four people in all four domains at once; who in the Nine Odysseys Megaverse would not fear such a person?

Zhao Yi looked up and stared at the pillar of consciousness piercing the sky. Lu Yin... just what are you planning? Are you really going to attack the Frightened Sparrow Terrace? That goes far beyond mere recklessness.

The Frightened Sparrow Terrace stood high above the rest of the megaverse, seeing as how it was the home of a Greater Sancte. Ordinary cultivators were not even able to approach the place, let alone attack it.

At this moment, Lu Yin’s consciousness rose up to connect the sky to the ground below. It reached the Frightened Sparrow Terrace, and when that happened, two slashes of the Tri-Azure Sword Intent cut down at the two people standing beneath the massive gate. Those two were Yue Bei and Xing Fan.

As soon as Lu Yin's consciousness reached the Frightened Sparrow Terrace, both Xing Fan and Yue Bei noticed it, and they both stared into the distance in shock. How was this even possible? How could someone be so arrogant as to attack the Frightened Sparrow Terrace?

Still standing on the Seventh Night Pillar, Lu Yin stared up at the sky and into the territory of one of the Greater Sancte who stood above all others. Yes, he had attacked.

Idle King Wen Jun, Unaging Deity, Lord Yan, and Jiu Mu had all been nothing more than bait. They had been the excuse for Xing Fan to report to the Greater Sancti, and then bait to provoke Lu Yin into attacking. So, he had attacked. However, attacking was not enough. Killing mere trash could not quell Lu Yin’s fury, nor was it enough to make the Nine Odysseys Megaverse completely abandon their malicious intentions for the Tianyuan.

On this day, Lu Yin intended to indulge himself just this once. He was attacking the Frightened Sparrow Terrace, as he wanted to see what the lofty Greater Sancte would do.

He wanted to see how the Nine Odysseys Megaverse would react.

He wanted to see if there was even a place for him in the megaverse.

Though one lived in the world carrying heavy burdens and ever mindful of the greater whole, there would always be a breath within their heart, vast enough to fill heaven and earth.

At this moment, Lu Yin had no desire to think too much. It was possible that his actions would earn him the scorn of the entire Nine Odysseys Megaverse. It might even offend Greater Sancte Awe Gate.

So what?

Simply swallowing his anger would not necessarily bring about the outcome that he desired. The people of the Tianyuan would eventually be integrated into the greater human macrocosm, but they would do so while standing, not on their knees.

Those who Lu Yin considered to be his friends would be treated as such. And he did not fear any enemy. There were times when the consequences could not be considered. Did Xing Fan and Yue Bei believe that hiding in the Frightened Sparrow Terrace would make them untouchable? Lu Yin considered himself to be the strongest beneath the Immortals, but throughout his entire life, had he ever not dared to attack?

At this moment, Lu Yin suddenly felt lighter, as if a great burden had been lifted from his back. He let out a murky breath. Faint, formless streams of energy could be seen rising from his body. As they swept through the area, the shattered ground started to bloom with green grass and countless flowers, exuding vibrant vitality.

Seeing this, Gu Duanke felt dazed. What... is this?

At the same time, in front of the Frightened Sparrow Terrace, two slashes of the Tri-Azure Sword Intent fell, aimed straight at Xing Fan and Yue Bei.

Yue Bei was terrified, and he instantly ducked behind Xing Fan. “Senior, save me!”

Xing Fan looked up, revealing a beautiful face that carried a frigid expression. She raised a hand, and a snow-white palm glinted in the light as she stepped forward. She instantly underwent the Nine Heavens Transformation and used the Wayfinder Sutra while a needle appeared in her hand. It stabbed at Lu Yin’s Tri-Azure Sword Intent: Cosmic Needle Art.

Lu Yin, do you think that the Cosmic Needle Art that you broke before was all that I have? That was while using another’s body. Do you really think it’s so simple?

Xing Fan stared at the Tri-Azure Sword Intent as it fell, the sword slash striking her Cosmic Needle Art.

The needle shattered, and Xing Fan’s pupils instantly shrank as she hastily shifted to the side. The slash cut through her shoulder before carving through the ground. At the same time, the second blade of Tri-Azure Sword Intent went straight for Yue Bei.

The man was horrified. He had not expected the attack to slice through Xing Fan’s body. Before Yue bei could even react, the slash had cut through his skull, knocking him to the floor, dead. His blood streamed out across the ground.
