Chapter 3119: A Fierce Battle
Still, the attack struck, though it only managed to push Feng Bo back.
He staggered a few steps while clutching at his neck. The old man glared at Lu Yin. "Boy, no matter who you are, you’re courting death!"
As Feng Bo spoke, an indescribable power erupted from his body. It seemed to raise him to a matchless height. This was a sort of power that Lu Yin could not comprehend. A figure emerged from Feng Bo’s body and released a deafening sound. "Greater Sancti of the Nine Odysseys, kill!"
The figure felt like divine wrath personified as it connected the sky to the ground below and released a blinding light. Its hand rose up to reveal a tower-shaped sword that slashed at Lu Yin.
This sword felt very unfamiliar to Lu Yin, as though it did not belong to this megaverse.
This was not due to the sword’s power, but was rather a feeling that it was somehow out of place.
As the sword fell, the star of consciousness within Lu Yin’s inner universe quivered. A surge of consciousness erupted, looking like a burst of fog that shot high into the sky before sweeping across the area. The sword stopped when it met the consciousness, which caused Feng Bo\'s expression to change yet again. What a terrifying power of consciousness! How long had this young man been cultivating for? How had he managed to acquire such a formidable consciousness?
Far away, Hongyan Mavis\'s expression also changed. The power of Lu Yin’s consciousness made the entire Mirari Realm quake.
Feng Bo’s mind was struck hard, and he was forced back. The towering figure faded from sight, and the tower-shaped sword started to disperse. The old man’s expression twisted from rage and disbelief. How could he lose? How could a mere boy, who was so young, defeat him?
He had destroyed the Mavis family’s Divine Tree during the Heavens Sect era, which had led to the complete and total destruction of the Second Mainland. How could a mere child with such a pitiful level of cultivation defeat him, Feng Bo?
The towering figure suddenly grew distinct once again, and the tower-shaped sword pressed down. Lu Yin clenched his fists, his star of consciousness trembling in his chest as he desperately mobilized all of his power of consciousness even though he could not fully control it. This was the consciousness that he had devoured from Xu Jin. That odd eye had possessed a level of strength that rivaled Feng Bo\'s, but Xu Jin had been a master of consciousness.
At this moment, it was as though Xu Jin was the one attacking Feng Bo with his consciousness. This was not something that the old man could withstand, though Lu Yin was also suffering backlash from releasing this attack.
Both men spat out blood. The tower-shaped sword suddenly broke apart to create a massive tower around Lu Yin, trapping his consciousness inside it.
He punched at the walls of the tower, but they did not budge.
The next moment, the tower rang with a booming sound that sounded like someone chanting. Lu Yin looked up and saw a character that he didn’t recognize. Despite having learned the writing of both the Heavens Sect and Daosource Sect eras, this character still was not one that he recognized or understood.
All that Lu Yin knew was that the appearance of the character caused an incredible pressure to fall upon him. As the character pressed down, the lines of Infinity appeared around Lu Yin. After combining it with Extremes Must Be Reversed, Lu Yin released another punch.
This time, his fist struck the descending character, but it did not move in the slightest bit.
Impossible! Lu Yin’s expression changed drastically. How could Feng Bo possess such power?
Before Lu Yin’s thoughts could proceed any further, the tower suddenly vanished as though it had never existed at all. If not for the blood filling his throat, Lu Yin would question whether the tower had ever actually appeared, as well as the figure that had been holding it.
Feng Bo’s face was pale, and reluctance covered his features as he turned to leave.
A Champions\' Stage appeared in front of Lu Yin, and he summoned the Seven-Star Mantis. He could not allow Feng Bo to escape, not after such an intense battle.
Hongyan Mavis stepped out of the bamboo forest behind Lu Yin. No matter how cautious she might be, she was forced to reveal herself at this moment. Even if the battle was a trick performed by Feng Bo and Lu Yin to lure her out, there was no denying that most of Feng Bo’s strength had been depleted. In this sort of situation, what did Hongyan Mavis need to fear?
She could see clearly both men’s injuries, and it was readily apparent that they were authentic.
"Senior, attack!" Lu Yin shouted.
Hongyan Mavis had already struck, and her fist was aimed straight for Feng Bo. However, this attack was not as powerful as Lu Yin’s punches.
Despite the apparent weakness of the attack, Feng Bo was more wary of Hongyan Mavis than he was of Lu Yin. It did not matter that the woman’s attack lacked an overwhelming level of power at the moment.
Feng Bo did hesitate and continued to flee. "Boy, I’ll remember you! I won’t let you off!"
Even as the old man spoke, he expanded the universe around himself.
The Seven-Star Mantis unfurled its six pairs of wings and moved at the speed of time to instantly appear behind Feng Bo, where Lu Yin released another punch.
This punch was also weakened by Feng Bo’s expansion of space, and the impact only caused Feng Bo to stagger back a step as a result. His head was spinning, and Lu Yin immediately struck with his consciousness.
Lu Yin\'s diverse abilities continued to rain down on Feng Bo, while the attacks from Hongyan Mavis had little impact on the old man. Feng Bo understood the threats he faced, so he not only expanded the space in his own surroundings, but also in the distance, which created a blast of wind that swept through the mist.
Dread filled Lu Yin. Even with the blade of grass that Hongyan Mavis had given him, Lu Yin instinctively wanted to avoid the mist that surrounded him.
While enduring Hongyan Mavis\'s attacks, Feng Bo tore the void open and then turned back to glare at Lu Yin. "Boy, we will
meet again!"Hongyan Mavis smirked. "Feng Bo, do you really believe that I’ve done nothing during all these years?"
Feng Bo felt puzzled, but the next moment, grass started growing in every visible corner of the Mirari Realm. It grew from both above and below, and it filled the entire space.
While the sight of grass growing alongside a river was perfectly ordinary, the grass had to be extraordinary for it to grow along the River of Time.
Even the void filled with grass as soon as Feng Bo tore it open. There was no space for him to pass through.
"I haven’t been idle all these years here in the Mirari Realm. You wanted to kill me, but I’ve also been plotting to kill you. On top of that, I’ve always believed that someone would one day come to help me. This is that day! You will pay for your betrayal!" Hongyan Mavis said as she exposed her true strength. She was one of the Six Daos, the founder of the Second Mainland’s Mavis family. Even if she had been greatly weakened, she was still a supreme powerhouse.
Such a person was entirely capable of preventing Feng Bo from escaping from the Mirari Realm.
The grass growing and filling the Mirari Realm left the old man with no way to escape.
For countless years, he had believed himself to be the one hunting Hongyan Mavis and keeping her trapped in the Mirari Realm, but in hindsight, had Hongyan Mavis not also kept him trapped?
There was no way that a weakened Hongyan Mavis could be Feng Bo’s match, but with Lu Yin, things had changed.
Lu Yin continued to attack Feng Bo with his consciousness, domain, and spirit force. All of Lu Yin’s abilities were brought out, and Feng Bo was even surrounded by Lightstream, which was constantly consuming the time produced by Feng Bo\'s and countering that battle technique. Hongyan Mavis kept the man trapped.
Lu Yin\'s attacks were powerful enough that each one could injure Feng Bo, provided that they connected. However, nine out of ten times, Lu Yin’s attacks missed.
Trapping someone as strong as the Seven Skygods who was determined to escape was far from easy, and while Lu Yin was a Semi-Progenitor, he was no a Progenitor. No matter how absurd his combat strength was, there were still limits, and one of them was that Lu Yin could not surpass Feng Bo’s endurance.
The constant attacks caused Lu Yin’s arm to fluctuate between a withered and a normal appearance, while the constant collisions of Infinity’s lines of strength eventually made it so that Lu Yin could not even lift his right arm anymore.
"To the right!" Hongyan Mavis called out.
Lu Yin threw a punch with his left arm.
Lightstream accompanied the punch, and the attack struck a very disheveled-looking Feng Bo. As Lu Yin’s fist drew close, space expanded, and the power of the attack was dispersed. In the end, the punch merely sent Feng Bo flying further away.
The mist was kept back by the grass, and Hongyan Mavis and Lu Yin both pursued Feng Bo.
They spent a long time chasing Feng Bo across the Mirari Realm.
Lu Yin could no longer lift his right arm, and his left arm was also quickly reaching its limit.
He had not bothered to count how many punches he had thrown—100? 200? Both of his arms trembled, and he was exhausted. His body was reaching its limits, and blood seeped through his skin. He had even resorted to using Triumphant Brawl, but while his will was strong, his body was limited.
No matter how pathetic Feng Bo’s appearance was, the old man was still far from death. Lu Yin could not even see how much further the man needed to be pushed. Even if Lu Yin used his Champions\' Stage and Investiture of the Gods to summon more peak powerhouses to the battle, none of the summons would be able to even touch Feng Bo. Lu Yin could only rely on himself.
Lu Yin was panting and feeling extremely frustrated. He was essentially cooperating with Hongyan Mavis to deal with Feng Bo, but Lu Yin had reached his limits.
He had tried rolling his die, but there was no time in the Mirari Realm. Rolling four pips accomplished nothing, which meant that Lu Yin could not recover in his Timestop Space.
He had effectively been deprived of one of his key abilities.
Cough!
Lu Yin barely managed to bring his right arm to his chest, but he could not move it any further.
Hongyan Mavis sighed. "Forget it. This is your limit."
Lu Yin gritted his teeth. "Senior, that old man is also being pushed to his limit!"
Hongyan Mavis responded with a bitter smile, "Even if there were two of you, you still wouldn’t be able to push him to his limits."
Lu Yin opened his mouth to respond, but Hongyan Mavis spoke first. "This is my fault."
Lu Yin asked, "Senior, how could that be?"
Hongyan Mavis shook her head. "If I had trusted you from the beginning and cooperated with you, we might have been able to kill him."
"You can’t blame yourself, Senior. If you trusted people so easily, you wouldn’t have lasted for so long.
"You weren’t right or wrong. It’s just that we haven’t sealed that old man’s fate quite yet."
They had already moved far away from the River of Time and deep into the forest.
Curious, Lu Yin asked, "Senior, did you plant this bamboo forest?"
"It wasn’t me. These plants grow naturally here in the Mirari Realm. Plants are quite miraculous, and as long as there\'s a place for them to grow, no matter how harsh the environment is, they will find a way to survive.
"When I first arrived in the Mirari Realm, there wasn’t just bamboo, but also flowers. Unfortunately, all of the flowers have been picked."
"Were they useful?" Lu Yin asked.
"Not really, but I don’t know who picked them. It made no sense at all."
Feng Bo’s voice echoed through the mist as he shouted from the distance, "Hongyan, what’s the point of keeping me trapped here in the Mirari Realm? The Mirari Realm is vast, and you never completely explored it. Do you really think that you can keep me trapped?"
Hongyan Mavis sneered. "Go ahead and run! If you have the guts, escape into those regions we never entered."
