Chapter 3193: No Sky Above Me

Out of everyone in the Mirari Realm, Astral Anura was the only one who was capable of harming Tian Fa. This was because the toad was a Dukkhan, and he was therefore also untouchable by sequence particles. Tian Fa's sequence particles had no effect on Astral Anura, though the toad’s sequence particles were likewise unable to affect Tian Fa.

This was the type of helper that Lu Yin needed; there needed to be at least one individual who could harm Tian Fa. Without that threat, Tian Fa would be invincible, as no one would be able to face the creature.

The steel fork once again stabbed into the blood-red liquid. Astral Anura let out strange shrieks as he kept moving the fork about.

Hongyan Mavis coughed up blood as the weapon formed from the combination of the spear and blades continued to push through her Divine Tree. Her Progenitor’s world was constantly injuring her.

"Warking of Infinity, I humbly request your aid: Slaughtering Form." A blood-red humanoid figure emerged from one of Heavenly King’s three statues, and it instantly charged at Tian Fa.

Lu Yin raised a hand, and when he pressed it down, the landma.s.s fell down from above. This was the same attack that he had used before, as it was his most powerful attack. If not even this was enough to harm Tian Fa, then none of Lu Yin’s other techniques would be able to do anything at all.

The humanoid figure used its Slaughtering Form, and when combined with the dropping landma.s.s, Tian Fa’s deep red color intensified even further. Astral Anura pulled his steel fork out and ran; he had a bad feeling about this attack.

The next moment, an endless, blood-red energy swept out in every direction. The color stemming from Tian Fa’s sequence particles were so dense that they were almost visible to the naked eye.

Lu Yin had only ever seen such a tremendous amount of sequence particles from individuals like the Great Sovereign. While Lu Yin had lost Heaven's Sight, he was still able to perceive something like this.

The blood-red energy even burned the void, and at that moment, the Slaughtering Form struck, the landma.s.s fell, and the Mavis family’s Divine Tree vanished.

Hongyan Mavis dropped to the ground and staggered back several steps, her face pale. This monster possessed such terrifying sequence particles that, without breaking through to the Origin realm, there was no way to defend against them.

Astral Anura shrieked, "Even I don't have that many sequence particles! These guys really haven't lived for so long for nothing."

All the members of Second Life were horrified. They felt so pressured by the overwhelming sequence particles that they could barely breathe, and they even felt an urge to kneel. They were Second Life, infamous and renowned, but they found that they wanted to kneel in submission.

This was the pressure emanating from Tian Fa.

Lu Yin held his breath as he faced the wave of sequence particles. Not even Astral Anura was able to get close to Tian Fa at this moment.

"There is no defying heaven’s punishment! All living creatures who are present must die!" As the creature spoke, Heaven’s Spears and Earth Blades appeared within the blood-red haze that had filled the entire Mirari Realm. The manifested weapons all absorbed the endless red energy, and each spear and every blade turned blood red.

In the past, Tian Fa had only ever manifested one Heaven’s Spear at a time, but at the moment, its weapons filled the sky. Each and every one was capable of stabbing into the Divine Tree, and just the sight of the endless spears was enough to terrify anyone.

Second Bone could no longer hold back. "My lord, we never attacked you! Please, spare us."

Even the members of Second Life had been surrounded by Heaven’s Spears and Earth Blades.

Unfortunately, Tian Fa did not care about the members of Second Life at all.

"Dao Monarch, enter Heavenly King!" Shan Gu urged in a low voice.

Lu Yin used Inverse Step to make his way towards the card, and Hongyan Mavis followed him inside.

The Heaven's Spears and Earth Blades fell, and the attacks swept across the entire Mirari Realm.

Astral Anura quickly pulled out his lotus leaf and used it as a s.h.i.+eld as he shrank down and hid behind the leaf.

Inside Heavenly King’s pocket dimension, Shan Gu clutched at his chest as he coughed up blood.

Outside, the Heaven's Spears and Earth Blades rained down on Heavenly King. If the card had not been upgraded into a Primeval card, it would have already shattered.

Even so, it was not able to endure for much longer.

Mr. Daheng stared in horror as an Earth Blade stabbed at him. He waved a hand and used the Law of Lightness to deflect the ma.s.sive blade. However, the Earth Blade easily sliced through the man’s sequence particles and then his body; there was no resistance.

Second Bone, Second Shan, and Second Meng s.h.i.+elded Second Zi under their own bodies as Second Bone’s bone armor s.h.i.+elded them as an additional layer of protection.

When an Earth Blade swept through, the skeletal armor was instantly shattered, and Second Bone, Second Shan, and Second Meng were all instantly killed. Their bodies were shredded, and their blood stained the ground.

Above Astral Anura, his lotus leaf was exposed to the violent storm of weapons, and it could shatter at any moment. The toad huddled beneath his leaf, not daring to lift his head.

No one could stand up to Tian Fa’s attack. It was a move that could erase an entire universe.

After Mr. Daheng and the members of Second Life were all killed, the Heaven's Spears and Earth Blades converged upon Heavenly King, relentlessly stabbing at the card.

Cracks appeared on Heavenly King as it endured the a.s.sault.

Within the card, Lu Yin and the others all stared upwards as the sky above started to crack. It was clear that the card would not last for much longer.

Second Gang was close to the people hiding in the card. After he was captured, Second Gang had wanted to fight back against Great Elder Shan Gu, but the man was nothing more than a peak powerhouse, and he was simply too weak. At the moment, he did not dare to make a sound.

However, the sight of Heavenly King breaking apart made Second Gang feel doomed. Just what was happening? Was reality collapsing?

The Great Elder suddenly coughed up blood as he dropped to his knees before a statue, and then slowly bowed to it. "Junior Shan Gu humbly requests the Royal Regent’s aid. We beg the Royal Regent to intervene."

As soon as the man spoke, he started bleeding from his entire body.

Lu Yin and Hongyan Mavis watched as the statue started to move. No—a figure emerged from the statue. Its face could not be made out, but its hands were clasped behind its back, and they seemed to be holding a scroll.

Within Heavenly King’s pocket dimension, the chaos seemed to calm down, and the fissures in the sky were restrained by some unknown power. Even the Heaven's Spears and the Earth Blades that were attacking the card seemed to tremble.

The figure raised its head to look up at the sky. "Above me, there should be no sky—there should only be one being.

"No sky shall remain."

The moment these words were spoken, the sky grew dark. As that happened, the sky above the Mirari Realm, outside of Heavenly King, was also shrouded in darkness.

The blood-red liquid that was Tian Fa started to churn and roil violently, as the creature could sense the presence of an unmatched power. Heaven's Spears and Earth Blades were both forced to recoil, and they formed an enormous mountain of weapons that surrounded the blood-red liquid in an attempt to protect Tian Fa.

Astral Anura peeked out from beneath his lotus leaf, and he looked over at Tian Fa. "Why is the sky dark? What's happening?"

He then let out a startled cry and buried his head in the ground until only his backside could be seen.

The earth and sky both roared.

Inside Heavenly King, Lu Yin and the others also heard the thunderous roars. Shan Gu had already collapsed, and no one knew if he was still alive or not. Lu Yin hurried over to help the man.

The card’s pocket dimension trembled. Hongyan Mavis was completely horrified. "What kind of power is this? What would refuse to allow the sky above to exist? The foundations of his civilization are more than I can even imagine."

Lu Yin had already held the Lost Clan’s civilization in very high regard, but every time that Great Elder Shan Gu revealed something new, Lu Yin was forced to admit that he had still underestimated the Lost Clan.

It was moments like these that reminded Lu Yin of what Shan Gu had once mentioned about his people’s unfathomable elders, as well as the invincible being.

The roaring stopped, and the darkness receded.

Lu Yin stared at the statue. It was back to normal.

"Dao... Dao Monarch," Shan Gu called out very weakly.

Lu Yin immediately turned to the man. "Senior Shan Gu, how are you?"

The Great Elder's face was deathly pale. "I'll be fine. I won't die. Dao Monarch, Tian Fa won't be able to recover from this that easily. The Royal Regent was a peerless expert. Even if Tian Fa isn't dead, it's at least been seriously injured. This is your chance! Finish it off!"

Hongyan Mavis instantly left Heavenly King.

Lu Yin gave the Great Elder a long look. "Rest well, Senior."

With that, Lu Yin immediately returned to the Mirari Realm.

Upon returning to the Mirari Realm, Lu Yin saw that green gra.s.s was covering both the ground below and the sky above.

This was a familiar scene to him. In the past, Hongyan Mavis had used this exact same method to prevent Feng Bo from escaping from the Mirari Realm. This time, her target was Tian Fa.

"Attack! It's almost dead!" she shouted.

Lu Yin looked into the distance, where Tian Fa had been reduced to a mere fraction of its original size. At the moment, the creature was no bigger than a person’s fist. Its Heaven's Spears and Earth Blades had all vanished.

Tian Fa was frantically trying to tear open the void and escape.

Lu Yin shot forward with Inverse Step, and he threw a punch straight at Tian Fa.

The punch struck the blood-red liquid head-on. This was the first time Lu Yin had managed to land a real attack, and he felt a strange warmth where he made contact. Suddenly, images of mountains of corpses and seas of blood filled his mind, which caused him to hesitate. Where had these images come from?

The fist-sized bit of liquid was almost scattered by the punch, and Hongyan Mavis reached out to grab it.

"You truly dare to defy heaven’s punishment? No one can defy heaven’s punishment! You will pay a terrible price! You will suffer a fate worse than death! Humanity will no longer have any future! You are doomed-" Tian Fa raged.

Hongyan Mavis slapped the small blob of liquid, the tremendous force of the impact sending it flying. Lu Yin quickly calculated Tian Fa’s trajectory and used Inverse Step to arrive in front of it. Infinity appeared, and the lines of strength collided as Extremes Must Be Reversed was used. Only then did Lu Yin throw another punch.

The closer his fist moved to Tian Fa, the stranger a sensation Lu Yin felt. When his fist made contact, Tian Fa slipped past him and shot into the distance. Once again, Lu Yin’s attack had no effect at all. Tian Fa was still using its sequence particles. Even with only a tiny number of sequence particles remaining, the creature was still able to negate Lu Yin's punch.

However, Lu Yin finally understood.

"It's acceleration," he stated as he stared at Tian Fa’s fleeing form. A smile spread across Lu Yin’s lips. "The law that you’ve comprehended is acceleration, but it doesn’t affect your speed. Your sequence particles accelerate your opponent's attacks. If my punch would normally take one second to reach you, then you cause the attack to expend all of its power within just a hundredth of a second.

"By doing that, by the time an attack reaches you, it’s already lost all its force.

"Your Law of Acceleration doesn't speed you up—it speeds others up. You're just accelerating the speed at which battle techniques dissipate.

"This is the end."

Lu Yin used Inverse Step once more, and he moved at the speed of time to pursue Tian Fa.

Without enough sequence particles, Tian Fa could not prevent Lu Yin from using the power of time.

Lu Yin looked down from high above, spread his fingers out, and pressed down with a hand.

A landma.s.s crashed down. No matter how Tian Fa tried to flee, unless it could exit the Mirari Realm, there was no way to escape from the descending landma.s.s. Even if Tian Fa wanted to escape by entering one of the Mirari Realm’s forbidden zones, there was simply not enough time to do so.

By moving at the speed of time, Lu Yin was more than capable of ensuring that Tian Fa lacked the time to do anything.

"You humans have brought a great disaster upon yourselves! You will be exterminated! Your species has no chance of any sort of future! You will all die horrible deaths-" The blood-red liquid was crushed beneath the landma.s.s and shattered. A horrifying wail rang throughout the Mirari Realm, chilling everyone to the bone. The sound continued for a long time before it finally faded. When the sound disappeared, the last remnants of the blood-red liquid scattered and disappeared.

Far away Astral Anura peeked out from beneath his lotus leaf. Was it all over?

Lu Yin stood high in the sky, panting.

Hongyan Mavis let out a breath of relief. It was finally over. They had succeeded in surrounding and killing one of the four Boundary Guardians. They had slain an Ortuser.

Elsewhere, Second Zi peaked out from beneath the corpses of Second Bone and the others from Second Life. She bit her lip at the scent of blood and then stared intently at the broken bodies of Second Bone and her other companions. It has to work! It has to!

"Hey, you won. You guys are ruthless! You actually managed to trap and kill one of the Boundary Guardians.”

Lu Yin looked over at the toad and said, "It’s all thanks to you, Astral Anura."
