Chapter 850: Chapter 401: The Savior_2
As the Fate Immortal King spoke, the lake surged once more with a ghostly light. The phantom of the Fate Immortal King shattered, and a black shadow emerged again from within the lake, twisting and dancing. Furious roars echoed endlessly, and Jiuyou Qi surged once more.
At this moment, Lu Yi was very close to the lake and could feel the terrifying aura emanating from the black shadow, one he could not withstand even now.
His expression changed, and his figure flickered, disappearing from where he stood, reappearing beside Yu Cheng and the others, and once again condensed Taoist Energy to form a shield.
This time, the Jiuyou Qi was even more violent than the last, almost breaking Lu Yi’s Taoist Shield. Fortunately, the black shadow disappeared in the end, and everything returned to calm.
Lu Yi and Yu Cheng exchanged glances, their expressions extremely complex.
Yu Xuanyi hurriedly said, “Yi’er, see if you can communicate with that Fate Immortal King again, at least to tell us something about the Jiuyou World, so we have some idea in our hearts!”
It’s really difficult for them to work with just these few words.
Lu Yi glanced over to find that the previously discordant area of fate had disappeared, likely no longer able to connect.
Even so, he wanted to try again.
Lu Yi once more operated the Origin of Destiny, attempting to communicate with the Fate Immortal King through the lake formed by the origin.
However, the final result was clearly ineffective.
He shook his head, “No, the setup used before disappeared after use, and it can’t be communicated again.”
These words left Yu Cheng and the others in silence, deeply disappointed.
Lu Yi looked at the now calm lake, then at the surrounding dense Jiuyou Qi, and said, “Let’s go; there’s nothing here anymore.”
Yu Cheng and the others came back to their senses and nodded.
They retreated to the camp previously occupied by the Jiuyou Cultivators before stopping.
After the four of them were silent for a while, Yu Xuanyi spoke, “So it seems, the Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors who entered the Jiuyou World did not die; they’re still in the Jiuyou World, alive!”
Yu Cheng nodded, “That’s good news; they’re still resisting the Jiuyou Demons.”
Yu Yunqing calmly glanced at Yu Cheng and Yu Xuanyi, “But the Fate Immortal King said they can’t hold on much longer, and an Immortal Emperor even joined the Jiuyou! Why is that?”
This was the longest statement Yu Yunqing had made. She had always been calm and indifferent, but the words of the Fate Immortal King evidently gave her a great shock.
Lu Yi also couldn’t understand why an Immortal Emperor would join the Jiuyou. Was it out of fear of death, or another reason?
Lu Yi thought it wouldn’t be out of fear of death.
If they truly feared death, those Immortal Emperors wouldn’t have entered the Jiuyou World in the first place, where even Immortal Emperors face a high risk of death.
Evidently, they must have discovered something or learned something upon entering Jiuyou, leading them to ultimately choose to join.
However… the Fate Immortal King communicated with them, but it may not necessarily be out of goodwill.
These words were spoken by the Fate Immortal King. Who knows if he himself joined the Jiuyou?
But Lu Yi only thought this in passing; the possibility of the Fate Immortal King joining Jiuyou was low.
After all, the lake left behind so much Origin Power, clearly requiring the combined effort of many Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors for the Fate Immortal King’s power to breach the barrier and reach the universe.
If the Fate Immortal King joined Jiuyou, then it would probably involve many Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors as well.
If that’s the case, not many would be left to resist the Jiuyou Demons, and it wouldn’t be too difficult for the Jiuyou Demons to enter the universe.
Another reason was that Lu Yi and the others knew nothing about the situation in Jiuyou.
If the Fate Immortal King had truly joined Jiuyou, staying silent before, not communicating with Lu Yi, and quietly waiting for the Jiuyou Demons to burst out of Jiuyou World and attack at a lightning-fast speed, wouldn’t that be better?
Why bother giving such a warning?
As Lu Yi pondered, he spoke, “Perhaps something is attracting those Immortal Emperors?”
“What could attract Immortal Emperors to join Jiuyou, betray their own universe, even disregarding their own kin?” Yu Cheng could not understand.
Lu Yi shook his head, “I don’t know. Maybe when we meet the Fate Immortal King in the future, we’ll find out more.”
After Lu Yi spoke, everyone fell silent again.
Yu Cheng sighed, “Alas, who would have thought this Abyss Ruins was created by the Fate Immortal King and others to establish a connection with the universe, no wonder the space here is so unstable.”
Lu Yi nodded slightly.
Previously, he had felt that the space here was too unstable, as if shattered by a terrifying force and slowly recovering.
Now he understood.
The Fate Immortal King, along with many Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors, broke through the barrier between the Jiuyou World and the universe, not by establishing a Jiuyou Channel to devour space lines but by fracturing space.
This had resulted in the entire area’s space shattering.
It seemed the Jiuyou Qi had seeped out for this reason as well.
Lu Yi was a bit relieved that at least no Jiuyou Channel was formed, so the Jiuyou Demons couldn’t invade the universe through this spatial instability.
However, the Jiuyou Cultivators could probably communicate with Jiuyou’s strong ones through this instability.
Lu Yi had some guesses about why the Jiuyou Cultivators gathered, and understood that the Jiuyou Monster that appeared was likely an Immortal Emperor-level figure from the Jiuyou World interfering through the spatial instability, transmitting their power over, and forming it.
His thoughts surged, then he smiled and said, “Anyhow, the gain from this venture into the Abyss Ruins is considerable.”
Yu Cheng and the others brightened and nodded.
Yu Xuanyi grinned, “Hahaha, indeed, at the very least, we dealt with so many Jiuyou Cultivators at once. Who knows what trouble they might have caused later had we been unaware? Capturing them all is undoubtedly a great achievement.”
“Moreover, we found out Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors exist in Jiuyou World, which is equally uplifting,” Yu Cheng smiled.
As for the awakening Jiuyou Demon Gods, they had known about it earlier. Though the Fate Immortal King emphasized it, it merely made them more solemn without altering the core essence.
Lu Yi smiled, “Since that’s the case, let’s scout the surroundings a bit more, then head back.”
With the Fate Immortal King’s warning, Lu Yi felt the pressure from Jiuyou intensifying, wishing to retreat immediately, seclude himself, and reach the Immortal King Realm to truly possess the strength to face the Jiuyou Demon God.
Yu Cheng and the others nodded in agreement.
The four of them carefully scouted the area, finding no Jiuyou Cultivators or anything unusual.
They then left the depths of the Abyss Ruins, heading outward.
With Lu Yi using Space Origin and the Origin of Destiny, the space vortices and doom in the Abyss Ruins had no effect on them.
They easily left the Abyss Ruins, returning to the universe outside.
In the outpost outside the Abyss Ruins, strong cultivators from both the Sky Falling Star Domain and the Crystal Spirit Star Domain were watching the internal situation closely.
Seeing Lu Yi and his group emerge, Yu Xin and others quickly flew from the outpost to greet them.
Yu Ying scanned the four, surprised, “Back so soon? Did you gain anything?”
The others were equally surprised.
After all, Lu Yi and the others hadn’t been in the Abyss Ruins for long.
They instinctively assumed Lu Yi’s group hadn’t ventured deep into the Abyss Ruins.
Not even an Immortal King could delve deep into the Abyss Ruins?
Upon hearing this, Yu Xuanyi grinned, “The gains are immense; we’ve ventured into the deepest part of the Abyss Ruins and uncovered some secrets.”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, eyes wide with astonishment.
“You entered the deepest part and returned?” Yu Yuanyou said incredulously.
“Yes, we’ll talk after we return,” Yu Cheng nodded slightly.
“Alright!”
