Chapter 4642: Let Things Liven Up

Silence reigned both inside and outside the Divine Palace.

How could this be? Had Hao actually failed to withstand Nie’s punch?

Divine Envoy Shuang Luo was shocked. "Lifeforce..."

"Nie actually comprehended Lifeforce?" Yan Gong's scalp went numb. He actually comprehended Lifeforce?

Inside the Divine Palace, Divine Envoy Gui Xing blinked. That was its Lifeforce. This kid had actually kept another card hidden. This- this is cheating!

This kid had actually used the turtle’s own Lifeforce to defeat Hao. It was no wonder why he had been confident enough to challenge the Second Sequence.

But how had he done it? After so much time, he had kept some of Gui Xing’s own Lifeforce hidden. This undoubtedly had something to do with that power of growth. No, I have to make this kid take me as his master! I have to clearly understand what happened.

Outside the Divine Palace, Hao stared out into space in utter disbelief. Its ability to wield Immortal matter by merging it with its spikes was its ultimate trump card, and yet this Nie could actually wield Lifeforce.

Throughout the history of the Divine Palace, only a handful had ever managed to master Lifeforce as an Origin Realm combat god. Currently, there was only one: Meng Luo. Nie was the second.

Hao had lost. It had actually lost. It possessed unmatched defenses and a fierce, powerful punch, but Nie was actually able to resist Hao’s punches and could use Lifeforce to overwhelm its defenses. He perfectly countered it.

Hao could only admit defeat. It slowly rose and left the battlefield.

Starting today, it was the Third Sequence, and all of the other Sequences were accordingly moved down a rank.

The Seventh Sequence was simply eliminated from the rankings entirely.

Lu Yin stood in outer space, and Yan Gong was the first to congratulate him.

Divine Envoy Shuang Luo offered its own praise. "As a Dukkhan, only Meng Luo has managed to comprehend Lifeforce. It seems that Nie's next step will be to challenge Meng Luo."

Greater Sancte Awe Gate agreed, "That should be the case."

Envoy Shuang Luo grew solemn "Let me tell you that Meng Luo is far from simple. It is an Aberrant who once killed an Immortal by itself. It is not on the same level as Hao. Be careful."

"Many thanks."

Upon becoming one of the Divine Palace’s Sequences, one could receive a residence in the Divine Palace, and the overall treatment that they enjoyed would transform entirely.

As for one's assigned territory, they could choose whether or not they wished to keep it.

Everyone assumed that Lu Yin would immediately abandon the Godless Territory, but Divine Envoy Awe Gate stopped him. "My kind’s current environment is worsening by the day, especially since we have a powerful enemy nearby. We may need to relocate at any moment. I have heard that this Godless Territory has no megaverse present and that it is unapproachable from three directions. That happens to suit my people, so he will keep it."

Divine Envoy Shuang Luo was taken aback. "You have a powerful enemy near you? What kind of powerful enemy? Since you are now a part of the Divine Palace, you can rely on the power of the Divine Palace to wage war. Besides, this is already something that the Divine Palace needs to resolve. Whenever a new civilization is found, it must either join us or be destroyed."

Awe Gate’s voice dropped low. "There is a blood feud between us and that powerful enemy. If I do not kill them with my own hands, I will die with regret. Allow us to handle this for ourselves. If the day comes when we truly cannot hold on, we will definitely ask the Divine Palace to step forward. At that time, I will ask all the divine envoys to help us."

Divine Envoy Shuang Luo smiled. "Such politeness is unnecessary. When the time comes, we will definitely help."

Soon, Lu Yin and Greater Sancte Awe Gate left the Divine Palace for the battlefield.

Lu Yin announced that he was going to search for the Divine Palace’s First Sequence and defeat it.

Awe Gate told others that she wanted to shrink her karmic chain. After all, that was the greatest desire of most Immortal beings when they first joined the Divine Palace.

After joining the Divine Palace, they could either work for the Divine Palace for a long time in order to slowly shrink their karmic chain, which allowed them to avoid any potential increases, or they would try to accomplish some great service in order to drastically reduce their karmic chain at once.

Both options were taken, though most divine envoys chose the first since they lacked sufficient strength and confidence to accomplish anything of note on the battlefield. Awe Gate, however, had clearly chosen the second option. She had gone to the battlefield as soon as she joined the Divine Palace, and she had even managed to severely injure an enemy Immortal. If that being had not fled so quickly, she would have achieved something great on the battlefield.

This time, she was going to the battlefield specifically to gain achievements.

Upon returning to the battlefield, Lu Yin looked around, but he still could not see anything of note. With the Mirrorlight Art, he could see further than what an ordinary Immortal could travel in 200 years, but even then, he could not see beyond the battlefield. This should be impossible. If this were true, then it meant that there was some sort of landmass that surpassed the scope of the cosmic Mother Tree.

However, he had never seen such a landmass in any part of the Aevum Inch.

It should be impossible for a landmass to exist that surpassed the distance that Lu Yin could see with the Mirrorlight Art. He simply could not imagine where this battlefield might lie.

"Let's go. It’s time to liven this battlefield up." Lu Yin stepped forward, moving towards where he had previously encountered Gui Xing and Feng Ya.

He could see vast distances with the Mirrorlight Art, but that did not mean that he could see everything within the technique’s range. Because of that, Lu Yin did not know where Immortals might be lurking on the battlefield. He could only rely on the Divine Palace's own divisions of the battlefield. Higher-level battlefields would naturally be where he would find Immortals.

"Right. Senior, you also came here before, so you should be more familiar with this place than I am." Lu Yin suddenly remembered something.

Awe Gate replied, "When I was here before, I just wandered around randomly. If we start from here, then the farther in we go, the stronger the enemies. All three Divine Palaces are at war with each other. If you continue in one direction, you will inevitably reach another Divine Palace’s territory in this battlefield, so just keep going in one direction."

The region where all three Divine Palaces converged was absolutely filled with danger. The most dangerous place was definitely next to an enemy Divine Palace's altar, as there were invariably Immortals stationed there.

Awe Gate wanted to charge straight over, but Lu Yin stopped her. That would be much too conspicuous.

He ultimately decided to head to where he had first encountered Gui Xing.

The battlefield was simply too vast, and even with their speed, they could not cross it quickly. However, there were also altars on the battlefield, and almost no one ever destroyed them. They allowed the various combat gods to travel to very distant locations. Without the altars, even Immortals would take years to reach far-off destinations, and what right would Combat Gods have to travel to such places?

Lu Yin and Awe Gate repeatedly teleported between altars, and soon, they could no longer see the altar through which their own Divine Palace accessed the battlefield.

This meant that they were more than 200 years’ travel away from where they had entered the battlefield.

They arrived at a place where a shower of meteors was falling.

It was a beautiful sight filling the sky, though if those meteors happened to fall towards someone, it would be a very different kind of beauty.

The earth was struck by countless meteorites, each one producing a thunderous boom. Mountains shattered, and rivers scattered.

Lu Yin and Awe Gate stood still and just watched quietly. The beauty of destruction was still beauty.

Sounds of battle came from the distance. The ones fighting were only Dukkhans, and they did not warrant so much as a glance from the two.

However, the next moment, a meteorite smashed through the mountains, and a powerful aura shot straight into the sky from underground. It cut the meteor shower in half, completely shattering it.

Lu Yin's and Awe Gate's eyes lit up; an Immortal!

The battle between Dukkhans in the distance stopped. They also sensed that an Immortal being was making their move, and thus they all fled.

Lu Yin had Awe Gate wait where she was and conceal her aura while he moved closer to the mountain range.

He soon arrived at a broken cliff in the mountain range. Lu Yin looked down and saw an astral beast sleeping. Well, it should be asleep. After all, it was even snoring.

This beast was absolutely enormous, large enough to swallow stars. It was about the same size as the super giants that he had seen in the Fifth Mainland, though the strength of the two was worlds apart.

This was an Immortal.

Lu Yin did not stand on ceremony and simply attacked with the Yan Gate’s First Needle, which stabbed into the beast. Its eyes snapped open but were unfocused. Lu Yin instantly appeared before it and slapped its head with a hand. This palm contained his full physical strength, and it smashed the creature’s forehead open.

Immortal matter collapsed, and Lifeforce formed what looked like a river that flowed into the ground.

There was no need for Awe Gate to do anything at all. The First Needle, when paired with overwhelming physical strength, was enough to deal with ordinary Immortals, and the beast had only been one of the most common sort of Immortals.

Awe Gate arrived and regretfully commented, "If I killed it, I could have shrunk my karmic chain."

Lu Yin shook his head. "Let’s first have the battlefield fall into chaos. There will be plenty of chances later. The strength of the Divine Palace’s Immortals is generally very weak."

Awe Gate retorted, "Against you, even two-law Immortals might not be considered powerful.

"Looking back, if the Nine Odysseys Megaverse had met you at your current strength, aside from Greater Sancte Green Lotus, Blood Tower, Qing Cao, and I would not have been able to resist at all."

Awe Gate's current strength came from fusing multiple spirit seeds with the Nirvana Tree Path, which had greatly elevated her combat power. However, this was a forced improvement and did not represent her realm.

Those who broke through to the Immortal realm by relying on a megaverse’s reset had a very low potential for future improvement, unlike those like Mister Mu and Greater Sancte Green Lotus who had succeeded with direct breakthroughs.

Jiang Feng had relied on a shortcut for his breakthrough, but he also possessed the courage to lower his realm and try again. His potential was also exceptional.

The manner in which one entered the Immortal realm could almost be used to define the level of that specific Immortal. There were very few exceptions.

"Senior, it isn’t impossible for you to break through to resonate with a second cosmic law. Once you do, taking your current combat power into account, you will absolutely be one of the strongest at that level," Lu Yin offered. He then threw the beast's corpse into a Zenith Mountain to take it away.

They proceeded to search for their next target.

Several years later, they found another Immortal, and Lu Yin took action again. His attacks left no evidence.

This second Immortal was able to endure his attacks more, and it was actually not killed by a single palm strike. Awe Gate appeared and followed up with a strike from Awecloud. Only then was it killed.

Having dealt with two Immortals, they teleported between altars to the center of the battlefield, where they deposited the corpses of the two Immortals before moving far away. If this was still not enough to create chaos on the battlefield, then they would continue. They could absolutely force this battlefield to fall into chaos.

The corpses were quickly discovered, and news instantly spread.

Immortals were the most powerful combatants on the entire battlefield. The death of any one was enough to create a commotion. Over the course of countless years, not many Immortals had died on this battlefield. Every being who managed to reach the Immortal realm was very cunning. The path of cultivation was difficult to follow. Simply being able to survive long enough to become an Immortal was proof of not only talent, but also of one’s own means.

Awe Gate had previously severely injured an Immortal, and that creature had then used every means available to it to escape.

If Lu Yin were not capable of launching sneak attacks with the Yan Gate’s First Needle, their ambushes would not have gone nearly so smoothly.

Two Immortals had died at the same time. No one had expected that.

Things unfolded without issue. The battlefield descended into chaos, especially in the direction that Lu Yin had targeted, as the two dead Immortals were from enemy Divine Palaces.

If the two had died normally, or if they had perished together, then so be it, but they had clearly been eliminated by a third party.

Not only that, but killing an Immortal was also a great accomplishment, and it was impossible that anyone would hide such a thing. However, no one knew who had killed either of these two.

The Divine Palaces grew suspicious of each other, and these suspicions even gave rise to other claims. Some said that the lord of a Divine Palace had personally stepped onto the battlefield, deliberately hiding this so that the other two Divine Palaces would not learn of it.

Aside from a lord of a Divine Palace, who else could kill Immortal beings so easily?

This rumor grew more and more widespread. In the end, the two Divine Palaces both set their sights on the Divine Palace of Lu Yin and the others, and war erupted. The two Divine Palaces simultaneously launched an assault aimed at the Divine Palace that humanity had joined.
