Chapter 3511: Incomprehensible Strength

Far away, Qing Yun and the others were standing in outer space. They were all as stunned as everyone else when they saw Seraph Bao Qi being suppressed.

Not even Old Tao had expected Lu Yin to be able to completely suppress Seraph Bao Qi.

However, Bao Qi had only succeeded in becoming one of the Seven Seraphs because of the Cauldron Bell, and he had not used the sequence base yet.

The fight was not over yet.

Above the Umbral Deep, Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed; Bao Qi had reacted very quickly. The man’s combat instincts must have been honed while fighting in the Consciousness Megaverse.

Ordinary cultivators that hadn’t ever fought against someone who cultivates consciousness would naturally be at a disadvantage in their first battle against one. Even if their absolute strength surpassed the consciousness cultivator’s, the latter still had a chance to defeat the former. However, once the former experienced it a few times, they would quickly adapt.

When people like Bao Qi first started fighting in the Consciousness Megaverse, they were at a distinct disadvantage. However, they would gradually adapt to being attacked by consciousnesses, and their endurance to those attacks would rise. Eventually, they would reach a point where they could even withstand a Universe-level conscient’s attack without fainting.

They would even resist these attacks instinctively.

If not for that, Lu Yin would have done far more than simply kick Bao Qi down.

It might have looked like Lu Yin had completely suppressed Bao Qi, whose performance appeared to be even worse than that of Hu Wu and Tian Ya or Lu Yin’s other opponents. However, if Bao Qi were to fight against Hu Wu and Tian Ya or Wu Wei, they would not have been able to overwhelm the Seraph. In fact, they would have failed to harm him at all.

It was possible that Hu Wu and Tian Ya’s Thunderclap—Skyrend could have struck Bao Qi, but one strike would not be enough to decide the outcome of a fight.

Still, in general, such people’s strength was roughly equal. Bao Qi would not have an overwhelming advantage over Hu Wu and Tian Ya or the others either.

If the Seraph were to face the Worryless Elder, he might even be forced to enter Dukkha, which would make the final outcome impossible to determine.

The Spirit Nidus’s foundation was simply too deep.

In the depths of the Umbral Deep, Bao Qi shook his head and touched an ear. When he looked at it, it was covered in blood.

He looked up. That attack had contained a terrifying consciousness that was just as strong as the Thirteen Luminaries’. It was no wonder how this Third Boss had managed to crush the Consciousness Domain.

Bao Qi could not endure any more consciousness attacks of that strength. If his opponent launched a few more of them, the Seraph was not certain he would be able to endure. There was a difference between the Third Boss and the Thirteen Luminaries.

The Thirteen Luminaries could only attack with their consciousnesses, while the Third Boss also possessed a greater physical strength than Bao Qi. If the two were combined, Bao Qi knew that he stood no chance at the moment.

In that case...

Bao Qi stood back up, the ferocity filling his eyes intensifying even further. He took out his Cauldron Bell and slowly took a step forward.

Countless eyes were staring into the Umbral Deep.

When Bao Qi appeared with his Cauldron Bell, everyone instinctively stepped back. The Cauldron Bell, one of the megaverse’s ten sequence bases, had finally appeared.

Lu Yin's eyes flickered. The Cauldron Bell was still with Bao Qi. The High Seraph didn’t take it away? Isn’t he afraid that I’ll mend my karma with Bao Qi?

Palace Master Yao had left her Bifrost Palace behind. When Lu Yin had defeated the woman, the High Seraph had shattered her spirit weapon, forcefully preventing Lu Yin from mending his karma with Palace Master Yao. As a result, he had suffered from karmic backlash.

In that case, why hadn’t the High Seraph also taken the Cauldron Bell away from Bao Qi? The High Seraph knew that the Seraph would be no match for Lu Yin.

Unless the High Seraph was confident that, even with the Cauldron Bell in Bao Qi's hands, it would be impossible for Lu Yin to mend his karma.

But how could that be?

Lu Yin's expression grew solemn. He refused to underestimate the High Seraph's schemes. Just because Lu Yin could not find a scheme or ploy did not mean that they were not there. In fact, all it meant was that Lu Yin had failed to detect them.

What was the plan this time?

Lu Yin's solemn expression was read as caution by Bao Qi's eyes.

He had initially wanted to fight without his Cauldron Bell in order to clear his name, but that was going to be impossible. He had been suppressed on all fronts. Without his Cauldron Bell, there was absolutely no chance of victory.

Bao Qi stepped forward, holding his Cauldron Bell up high as he stared up at Lu Yin.

That’s right, he hasn’t been knocked to the ground even once yet! He’s always been up there, looking down at me! He’s looking down on a Seraph!

Such humiliation was intolerable.

Everyone held their breath. The true battle was only just beginning.

Bao Qi had relied on his Cauldron Bell to win his position of Seraph. Only with the Cauldron Bell in his hand did he truly possess the strength of a Seraph.

Finally, Bao Qi was Seraph Bao Qi.

The Cauldron Bell floated in front of Bao Qi, and he slapped a hand onto the bell. For a moment, it felt as if the entire universe was trembling. Right after that, an indescribable darkness started to spread out. It looked like ink as it seeped closer to Lu Yin.

Lu Yin arched a brow. He had seen this before. This absolute, soundless darkness.

During the battle at the Tianyuan Megaverse’s boundary, the silent darkness had left everyone hesitant to approach it. During the battle in the Mirari Realm, this same power had even rendered the ancestor of the super giants helpless, along with Lu Yuan, Chu Yi, and many others. Only Lu Yin and Progenitor Chen had managed to skip time before making use of the others' sequence particles to attack the Seraph. Later, Progenitor Ku had faced the darkness alone, continually resisting its power with Extremes Must Be Reversed. Yet even he had not been able to endure for long.

This silent power was so terrifying that even the Tianyuan Megaverse’s Three Realms and Six Daos had struggled greatly against it.

Lu Yin watched as the silent darkness drew closer. The spectators in every direction grew solemn as they watched.

There was no need for any of them to touch this darkness. Everyone could easily sense its terrifying power.

Mr. Li's eyes flickered. He knew that he was incapable of overcoming this silent power. With the Cauldron Bell, Bao Qi was nearly invincible. Everything after this depended on whether the Third Boss possessed the strength to overcome this silent darkness.

Lu Yin's expression never changed. He had more than one way to defeat this silent darkness. There was Extremes Must Be Reversed, Linked Palm, skipping through time, or even directly attacking it with his consciousness. Any one of those options would be enough to break Bao Qi’s attack.

In the end, Lu Yin chose the method that would be the most impressive.

He stood still in the sky, his hands clasped behind his back as he allowed the silent power to envelop him. It was like a curtain had been drawn across the sky, and he was completely surrounded.

No one expected the Third Boss to not even make an attempt to avoid the attack. Despite its power, the silent darkness moved slowly, and it was easy to see. It was also quite easy to avoid. Was the Third Boss so confident in his own strength? Or was it possible that, while the power of the Cauldron Bell appeared easy to avoid, it was actually impossible to do so?

Everyone was puzzled.

Only Bao Qi's expression fell, his facing twisting.

It was clear to the Seraph that Lu Yin had intentionally not avoided the attack. He intended to directly endure the power of the Cauldron Bell.

"Fine! Then show me how long you can endure for!"

Up in the sky, the darkness had engulfed Lu Yin entirely. His body constantly withered up and then recovered. The silent darkness was reaching the limits of what Lu Yin’s body could endure. If it grew any stronger, Extremes Must Be Reversed might be broken. However, the limit of Lu Yin’s body was something that Bao Qi could never surpass. If he could, he would not merely be a Seraph.

Out of everyone in the Spirit Nidus, the High Seraph alone was capable of overpowering Lu Yin's physical body. If not for that, Lu Yin would not have rolled back time by thirty-seven years.

He was aware that his body was constantly withering and recovering, but onlookers only saw Lu Yin standing still within the darkness, his expression never changing. To the outsiders, it looked as though Bao Qi's Cauldron Bell had had no effect whatsoever on the Third Boss.

This left them all stupefied.

In the Wisdom Domain, Mr. Li's pupils shrank sharply. Impossible! Just how strong is the Third Boss?

Beside the old man, Young Master Yu was similarly stunned. He had believed that, given that he was from the Wisdom Domain, he was capable of seeing through everything in the Spirit Nidus. However, the Third Boss completely defied Young Master Yu’s understanding of things. This person had to be the ruler of the Tianyuan Megaverse, comparable to the Spirit Nidus’s High Seraph. There was no doubt about that conclusion, as the Third Boss’s power surpassed any reasonable level.

Further away, Old Yu’s face grew serious. He was repeatedly analyzing the strength and abilities of his Wisdom Domain. Was it really completely flawless?

On the other side of the Umbral Deep, a number of powerful auras pulled away. "Is that guy a freak? Can he withstand even the Cauldron Bell?"

"Something’s very wrong here. If he really can endure the power of the Cauldron Bell, then it’s possible that only our High Seraph can defeat him. There’s clearly something wrong here."

"This might be why the High Seraph hasn’t done anything yet. Could it be that not even the High Seraph is fully confident? Or, could he have already taken action, but his efforts were futile?"

Dead silence followed those words.

Wary eyes remained focused on where Lu Yin stood in the sky. Just what were the limits of his strength?

Further away in outer space, Old Tao was gaping in disbelief. "This... this... is this the Third Boss’s power? Is this the strength of the Tianyuan Megaverse’s ruler? He is ignoring a Seraph’s power! This fight might be simpler than his previous battles, but it's also the most shocking."

Cai Keqing and Palace Master Yao were also unable to believe their eyes. When had the Seven Seraphs become so pathetic?

Qing Yun stared at the distant fight in a daze. The Third Boss was surrounded by darkness, yet the darkness could not devour him. The man looked like he was the center of the universe itself.

Ru Mu took a deep breath, her eyes blazing brightly. Becoming your maid was worth it.

Above the Umbral Deep, Lu Yin started to slowly descend. He approached Bao Qi, all the while maintaining a position that allowed him to look down upon the Seraph. It was now clear that the silent power had absolutely no effect on Lu Yin.

Bao Qi’s face turned pale. Blood leaked from the torn corner of his mouth as he stared blankly at the approaching Lu Yin. Those eyes up above had seemingly replaced the starry sky, replacing all that Bao Qi could see. At the same time, he heard the High Seraph’s warnings repeating again and again.

The Seraph finally understood why the High Seraph had refused to allow him to act against the Grandverse Manor. It was true that Bao Qi was not powerful enough to defeat the Third Boss.

How could a person like this even exist? He was constantly above Bao Qi, a titled Seraph. How was that possible? How had this Third Boss managed to achieve such strength? Who was really the Seraph? Who was the challenger?

A fierce light blossomed in Bao Qi’s eyes. At the same time, multi-colored light streamed down his arms and into his Cauldron Bell. Quickly, more power erupted from the bell.

The silent darkness gained strength, and dark waves swept towards Lu Yin.

To the people watching, Lu Yin appeared to be calm and collected, but only he was aware of how much danger he was currently facing.

There was a limit to Extremes Must Be Reversed. Lu Yin was confident that Bao Qi was incapable of surpassing that limit. If someone else were in Lu Yin’s position, such as a Dukkhan like Mr. Li, they would have already been defeated. The Worryless Elder, Hu Wu and Tian Ya, and even Grandmaster Su Shi Dao would have all been overwhelmed by this silent power. None of them possessed the strength to endure it.

Of course, if any of those people fought Bao Qi for real, they would not be overwhelmed by his silent power.

During the battle in the Mirari Realm, Bao Qi had used his silent power to protect both himself and Seraph Yi from everyone’s attacks. If not for the fact that both Lu Yin and Progenitor Chen had been able to skip time and use Extremes Must Be Reversed, it might have been impossible for them to defeat Bao Qi.

However, Lu Yin had already seen through this power.

No matter how powerful the dark silence became, it could never overwhelm Lu Yin.

He continued to move closer, each step delivering greater shock and pressure to Bao Qi, as well as to the observing Spirit Nidus.

At this moment, Lu Yin was not just looking down on Bao Qi. He was also looking down on the Spirit Nidus itself. He was looking down on the Seven Seraphs, and even the High Seraph.

Bao Qi could not accept this. There were numerous historical incidents of Seraphs being defeated. Each time, the Seraph had lost their title. Even so, not once had any Seraph ever experienced such a humiliating defeat.

He was being utterly suppressed and mercilessly overpowered. It was a crushing defeat, and Bao Qi refused to accept it.

He let out a roar, and his aura suddenly changed. From exuding a brutal savagery, it turned eerily calm. In but a moment, the Seraph’s aura completely transformed, an ineffable shift. The change took place in the blink of an eye. It was so quick that it felt impossible, as if it was a figment of the imagination.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Bao Qi.

He had entered Dukkha. He had long been at the threshold, and just a thought was enough to tip him over the edge. It had all depended on whether he wanted to take that last step or not. He had made a decision, and the change had occurred in an instant.
