Chapter 2991: Wrestling Of Consciousness

Lu Yin let out a long breath. Had Progenitor Ku seen the other Scourges? Of course he had. In addition, he had also withstood attacks from the other Scourges. Did he give up? No, his willpower was unimaginable to ordinary people. His belief represented the belief of mankind, that one day, mankind would kill True God. And for that belief, he was willing to become a stone, an ordinary stone on a bloody road. This was Progenitor Ku.

Knowing that he would die, Progenitor Ku had still invaded the Scourge.

Progenitor Chen had sat alone in Burial Garden for countless years, contemplating a battle technique that could defeat True God.

The Rune Progenitor had created runes and saved the Fifth Mainland.

Progenitor Hui had set plans in motion that spanned eras, plotting against both humans and Aeternus in order to obtain a chance for mankind to seize victory.

And yet, those men merely represented the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas of the Daosource Sect era. Long before their time, Burial Garden and Boundless had already lit the fires of humanity’s inheritances. From the Heavens Sect era, how many of the Three Realms and Six Daos had died? How many still lived? What were they doing? It was possible that they were also doing their best to help humanity find a chance at victory. The Immemorial Citadel was locked in a fierce battle against the Aeternals, but who even knew about that fight at the forefront of humanity?

Lu Yin was not alone, and he had never been.

Humans were very complex creatures. They could scheme against each other, but they could also unite. They could be greedy, angry, delusional, and even evil. Even so, there would also be those who were willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good, serving all of humanity. All of these people represented different aspects of humanity, as they were all creatures of flesh and blood.

Lu Yin slowly took a seat, closed his eyes, and ended the Possession.

Once Lu Yin returned to his own body, the Chiliagonist opened his eyes. He felt terribly confused. What had just happened to him? He felt like he had lost control.

On the mountain behind the Heavens Sect, Lu Yin tore through the void, headed straight for Aeternus Nation. Once there, he descended beneath the ground and confronted the Chiliagonist.

The man stared at Lu Yin, confused by his sudden arrival and wondering what Lu Yin was about to do.

Lu Yin sat down cross-legged, facing the Chiliagonist. "I’m going to give you a chance to kill me."

The Chiliagonist felt confused. "What did you just say?"

Lu Yin calmly repeated, "I’m going to give you a chance to kill me, though this will be restricted to a duel of consciousness."

The Chiliagonist stared at Lu Yin. "You want to compete against me in consciousness?"

"That’s right."

The Chiliagonist’s confusion mounted. He did not understand what was happening. Lu Yin wanted to duel him with his consciousness? Where had the man found such confidence?

In the Umbral Universe, the Chiliagonist had once attempted to seize control of Lu Yin and make him attack Old Mo, but that attempt had failed. At the time, the Chiliagonist had realized that Lu Yin’s consciousness was decently strong, though it was not nearly at the level of the Chiliagonist’s. Lu Yin’s consciousness was like a rock, and while the Chiliagonist might not be able to crush that rock, the rock was also inert and unable to move on its own.

"Are you even capable of fighting with your consciousness?"

A smile spread across Lu Yin's face. "No, but I want to see if your consciousness can crack mine."

The Chiliagonist’s eyes flickered. He did not move, but his mind was racing. Is this a trap? If so, where’s the catch?

"What? Scared?" Lu Yin waved a hand, dispersing the death energy to reveal Dual Bladeform, Chong Gui, and a false Ye Bo disguised by death energy. Everyone had been eroded by death energy and were thus unable to perceive things clearly.

"Three True God Guard Captains are watching you right now, and I’ll give you this opportunity to kill me. Killing me will eliminate a powerful enemy for Aeternus, and I’ll even promise to only fight you with consciousness. Do you still not dare?" Lu Yin casually asked.

Chong Gui shouted, "A duel with consciousness? Chiliagonist, if you actually fight him normally, you’ll just die, so go ahead and give this a try! This is a collision of love!"

The pink-haired woman clenched a fist. "Don’t be afraid, Chiliagonist!"

The blue-haired man looked rather upset. Lu Yin was indeed as unpredictable as the rumors claimed. Things that were regarded as impossible by others were done quite casually by Lu Yin. At this moment, he was trying to steal the Chiliagonist’s consciousness, and it was clear to everyone watching that the Chiliagonist was struggling.

This was a very dangerous battle.

Since Lu Yin had gone ahead and provoked this battle, he had to be confident.

"Brother, will the Chiliagonist win?" the pink-haired woman murmured. She was not concerned about the Chiliagonist, as there was no friendship between any of the True God Guard Captains. Rather, she was worried about what would happen afterwards for herself and her brother.

The blue-haired man smiled. "I think so. Consciousness is a very rare power in the entire megaverse."

The pink-haired woman suddenly grew anxious as she watched the fight between Lu Yin and the Chiliagonist play out.

The Chiliagonist was extremely confident in his own strength. After all, it was rare for anyone in the megaverse to even be capable of cultivating consciousness.

A flood of consciousness streamed into Lu Yin's mind. His face color rapidly vacillated between blue and white. He was assaulted by waves of vertigo, which was exactly what the Chiliagonist anticipated. Regardless of how strong Lu Yin’s consciousness might be, it was impossible for him to control it like the Chiliagonist, as Lu Yin had not used the Thousand Leaves, but rather his own innate gift. The Chiliagonist had only attained his current strength with the combination of his own innate gift and the Thousand Leaves. What was Lu Yin relying on?

The Chiliagonist might have no idea how Lu Yin had cultivated his consciousness to be so tough, but it did not matter. Given enough time, a drop of water would eventually wear through a stone.

Lu Yin was essentially riding a small boat through a storm, and the boat could capsize at any moment.

The Chiliagonist never stopped attacking, always seeking to eliminate Lu Yin with one strong push. However, while Lu Yin's boat was small, it was able to always stay atop the waves and ride the wind, and in that manner, he withstood the Chiliagonist’s attacks.

No one at their level was stupid, and the Chiliagonist clearly understood that Lu Yin had the courage to duel the Chiliagonist in consciousness, and the young man had even set his sights on stealing the Chiliagonist’s consciousness. The Chiliagonist was similarly confident in himself. While Lu Yin had played a few tricks and was not revealing any sign of weakness, a mere tough mind could not compare to the Chiliagonist’s overwhelming might.

All he needed was a single moment.

The Chiliagonist blasted the full force of his consciousness at Lu Yin. The man did not want to simply control Lu Yin, but rather to steal Lu Yin's consciousness and reduce him to an idiot.

Lu Yin's eyes suddenly flared, and his vision grew increasingly blurry. A tremor ran through his body, and he felt like he was about to faint.

The Chiliagonist resumed his attack, gritting his teeth as he pressed on.

Boom, boom, boom.

The Thousand Leaves pulled at Lu Yin's consciousness. The Chiliagonist could feel it. He felt that Lu Yin was too arrogant. The youth might be talented, but when it came to cultivating consciousness, even within Aeternus, there was no one but that one freak who surpassed the Chiliagonist.

The attacks continued.

Lu Yin was growing weaker and weaker. It was clear by looking at him that he might faint at any moment.

Nearby, the woman with the long pink hair clenched her fist tighter. "Come on! End him!"

Chong Gui shouted, "Get him! Get him!"
