Chapter 2757: Heaven's Sight

As the Chiliagonist’s power swept out, Old Mo's body swayed, and everything he saw suddenly flickered. Some distance away, multiple images of Lu Yin and the others appeared, as well as multiple red suns formed from divine energy. All of it was an illusion.

"This is the power of consciousness." Old Mo stared at the Chiliagonist. "It’s no wonder why you are able to control the dregs—you replaced their consciousness with your own."

The Chiliagonist suddenly looked over at Lu Yin and Shan Pu. He wanted to control both of them. They were unable to see anything as they were trapped in the darkness, but the corpse king could see the two humans. As long as he could control them and master their powers, would they still need to see? It did not matter at all.

Shan Pu's body swayed. The Chiliagonist’s consciousness invaded, trying to replace Shan Pu’s own thoughts. However, after a mere moment, the invading consciousness suddenly disappeared and was cut off.

The Chiliagonist stared at Shan Pu. How could it be? How had his consciousness been cut off? Did this person also cultivate consciousness?

Throughout the countless parallel universes that made up the megaverse, the Chiliagonist had come into contact with too many people and too many odd races, but very few individuals were able to cultivate consciousness. When had the Lost Clan gained the ability to cultivate consciousness?

Suddenly, the corpse king looked back at Lu Yin. If Shan Pu had surprised the corpse king, then Lu Yin completely shocked the monster, because it was very clear that the consciousness sent into Lu Yin had been completely suppressed.

How?

The Chiliagonist was dumbfounded. This person was clearly nothing more than a six-tribulation Envoy, but he was able to use various means to fight across realms against Progenitors. This was practically unseen throughout all of history, but now Lu Yin was revealing that he had even trained in the power of consciousness? The corpse king’s power came from his innate gift, but his power had only been honed to a ridiculous level after countless years of training. While he had sent a mere trace to infiltrate Lu Yin’s mind, even that much was not something that ordinary Progenitors could defend against, let alone a mere six-tribulation Envoy.

How could a child’s consciousness be so strong?

No, this was not a matter of strength, but of toughness. This boy’s consciousness was robust, to the point where the Chiliagonist questioned all that he knew.

At this moment, Lu Yin also felt very strange. He had felt the touch of a familiar power. It was the same power that would take him to the mysterious dark space whenever he rolled Possession with his die. This was the power that allowed him to merge with the orbs of light in that space. Was this the power of Possession?

He reflexively tried to Possess it.

Whenever Lu Yin Possessed a person, he had to suppress their consciousness, and he had automatically done that when the trace of consciousness had tried to invade his mind. This was why the Chiliagonist had felt his power being suppressed.

Lu Yin had never cultivated consciousness. It was a completely different power from a domain, battle force, or spiritual force. Even during his time exploring different universes, he had never heard any mention of this power before. Lu Yin did not know that he was suppressing a power; to him, it was just a very familiar sensation, and he had reflexively reacted as he would during Possession.

The Chiliagonist stared intently at Lu Yin and Shan Pu for a moment. What was going on with these two? This was far from the corpse king’s first time seizing control of a Progenitor-level cultivator; he had controlled humans, astral beasts, and powerhouses from Aeternus with his consciousness before. However, he had failed with both of these men, especially Lu Yin, who had nearly seized the corpse king’s consciousness for his own. If the Chiliagonist had not retracted his power quickly enough, he would have lost the bit of consciousness that he had used to invade Lu Yin's thoughts.

Even if it had only been a tiny strand, it was the result of years of training.

The Chiliagonist felt a flicker of fear. It was no wonder why that senior respected this Lu Yin.

Old Mo felt a bit dizzy. "The power of consciousness is truly strange, but it is not enough to harm me. You can die now, you rat."

The corpse king’s scarlet eyes turned to stare at the divine energy high above. The divine energy’s red light formed an arch that directly connected to the Chiliagonist. A layer of red appeared around the intangible power of consciousness, outlining it.

At this moment, the power of consciousness transformed qualitatively. Old Mo's expression changed drastically as he watched. Whenever a form of energy integrated with divine energy, it would no longer be an ordinary power.

"Aeternus knows that you are searching for Wu Tian's legacy in this universe, and what you are searching for should be Heaven’s Sight. Back then, Wu Tian disappeared for some time, but when he reappeared, his Heaven’s Sight had grown dim. He should have stripped away his Heaven’s Sight and left it somewhere. It was in this universe, wasn’t it?" When the Chiliagonist spoke, his voice was hoarse and low, and it held a suggestion of temptation.

Old Mo sneered. "There was only ever one Heaven's Sight, and it died with Wu Tian. Where did you get this idea from?"

"Then what have you been searching for in this universe for so many years?" The corpse king controlled the transformed consciousness, and it surged towards Old Mo.

The ancient Progenitor no longer dared attack, as he had no idea how powerful the consciousness had become.

Off to the side, Lu Yin quietly listened. Only then did he realize that the intangible power that had just appeared was consciousness.

Consciousness? I have Possessed so many people with my die that it can almost be considered a form of cultivation. How could I possibly be controlled by another’s consciousness?

The Chiliagonist was clearly able to control others with his consciousness, which meant that it was a power that could be cultivated. In that case, since Lu Yin was able to suppress that particular power, could he cultivate it as well?

Lu Yin tucked this thought deep in his heart as he pulled out the bone spur from his cosmic ring.

The two men had not been shy about their conversation at all, so Lu Yin had heard everything.

If what the Chiliagonist had said was true, then Old Mo had betrayed Wu Tian and hidden himself in the Umbral Universe to search for Wu Tian’s Heaven's Sight. It might be possible for Lu Yin to find Heaven's Sight with the bone spur.

After all, that was what Lord Xu had told Lu Yin when he had obtained the bone spur; the Voidlord had said that the bone spur might help him find Wu Tian’s Heaven's Sight.

The moment the bone spur appeared, even before Lu Yin could react, it shot off through the universe, disappearing as it dragged Lu Yin along.

Shan Pu had no idea that Lu Yin had left. The man was still struggling against the darkness and had slowly fallen back, even though he knew that, no matter where he went at this moment, it would be useless.

As for Old Mo, he was on guard against the consciousness, while everyone else was focused on Old Mo. No one paid any attention to Lu Yin's disappearance.

As long as Lu Yin remained in the Umbral Universe, he would not be able to escape. Old Mo was absolutely certain of that.

Given the ancient Progenitor’s strength, if he wanted to deal with someone, how could they possibly escape by tearing the void? The entire universe was under Old Mo’s control.

Lu Yin was dragged around the universe by the bone spur, and taken towards the far side of the Umbral Expanse. Lu Yin was unable to see anything at all, and had no idea where he was. He simply allowed the bone spur to drag him along. Finally, he seemed to run into something. It was most likely the ground of the Umbral Expanse, but the bone spur did not stop. It simply dragged Lu Yin through the earth, shattering the ground.

After some time, the bone spur came to a sudden stop, and the abrupt change in inertia caused Lu Yin to slam forward.

Lu Yin’s strength meant that something like the earth would not be able to stop his body. Normally, he should have gone flying through the ground. However, instead of that, he slammed into something that struck his waist.

He instinctively grabbed it, catching a hard, oval-shaped object. What was this?

Suddenly, the hard object floated upwards, slowly approaching him.

Lu Yin was still holding the thing in his hand, so he could feel it moving closer. He could force it away, but it was clearly being drawn to something on or in his body. It slowly moved closer and closer, initially towards his face, and then his forehead. Finally, it touched his head, right at the center of Lu Yin’s forehead.

Could this be the legendary Heaven's Sight?

Far away, Old Mo attacked the transformed consciousness with his own darkness. After being transformed by divine energy, the consciousness was now tangible. At this moment, a battle was being fought above the Umbral Expanse between the darkness and the consciousness. The conflict caused the entire Umbral Expanse to collapse, and the Umbrians who still lived were fleeing for their lives, wailing and despairing that the end was coming.

Suddenly, a beam of light appeared in the east, crossing through the entire Umbral Universe. The darkness did not dim the light in the slightest, and it was not able to even start devouring the light.

Old Mo looked over in shock.

What is that?

The Chiliagonist also turned to look eastward.

Lu Yin emerged from underground. There were two curved lines on his forehead that twisted and crossed each other. Just a glance was enough to recognize that the curved lines were eyes. This was the Heaven's Sight that Wu Tian had left behind.

Lu Yin had never expected to find Heaven's Sight in the Umbral Universe.

The moment that Heaven's Sight merged into Lu Yin’s forehead, he knew that Heaven's Sight was not only an object, but also a battle technique. Heaven's Sight was not an actual eye, but the source of all battle techniques.

However, for the Heaven's Sight battle technique, the item itself was indispensable.

Heaven's Sight could see through any disguises.

Law, the order of how things work. The law dictated how things work. Even if a technique did not have actual moves to it, the law will be able to see through it.

The orb that had merged into Lu Yin’s forehead was both an actual eye and the source of all battle techniques, Heaven’s Sight. Any moves, battle technique, or weapon technique that was seen would be drawn into Heaven’s Sight, analyzed, and then have its weaknesses exposed. This was the power of Wu Tian, as well as the inheritance that he had left behind.

The reason why Lu Yin had managed to obtain Heaven’s Sight was because he had visited the Sword Monument that the Liu family had guarded in the Perennial World, which was actually Wu Tian’s Sword Monument. From that, Lu Yin had received the inheritance of using a scythe to overcome countless different weapons, which was actually the Weapon Breaking Technique. With this battle technique, Lu Yin had been able to break through the final barrier in the Void Pass and obtain the bone spur. That bone spur had finally led him to Heaven’s Sight.

At this moment, Lu Yin understood just how incredible the opportunity that he had received from that visit to the Sword Monument was.

The beam of light from Heaven’s Sight spanned the entire universe and locked onto Old Mo.

Lu Yin saw everything, even though his own eyes were still blind. He was not able to break Old Mo’s power just by obtaining Heaven’s Sight, but Heaven’s Sight could not be blocked by Old Mo. This was Wu Tian’s legacy.

Lu Yin stared at Old Mo and saw the expression of stunned disbelief on the old man’s face, as well as growing resentment in his eyes. The man had already guessed that Lu Yin had obtained Heaven’s Sight.

"You- you got Heaven’s Sight?" Old Mo stared at Lu Yin, his eyes growing bloodshot.

The Chiliagonist also stared at Lu Yin with scarlet eyes. Heaven’s Sight was a legacy that Wu Tian had left behind, and it was something that even Aeternus coveted. The corpse king had remained in the Umbral Universe just to compete with Old Mo for Heaven’s Sight, but against all expectations, this brat had obtained the inheritance.

Lu Yin stared at Old Mo with his Heaven’s Sight, and at this moment, what Lu Yin saw was completely different from before.

He could see Old Mo's terrifying darkness energy. The man was simply a monster. If Lu Yin’s own power was represented by light from a lantern, then Old Mo’s power would be as greater than a prairie fire or a volcano. There was simply no comparing the two. Before Old Mo, all others present in the Umbral Universe were far too weak.

At the same time, Lu Yin also saw a strange power. Could that be sequence particles?

It was the power that allowed one to transcend the realm of an ordinary Progenitor and touch upon the governing laws of a universe, granting supreme power. These governing laws were what the Transcendent Universe called sequence particles, and it was the focus of their most important research.

At this moment, Lu Yin could see that Old Mo could control those sequence particles.

Lu Yin could not understand how to describe what he was seeing. Old Mo was clearly a human, and yet he was also the darkness. He was the darkness, and the darkness was him. The old man’s body had merged with the darkness, which had also merged with him. There was a feeling of order to the union, and in that order, there were darkness particles. These particles then formed an order of how things were supposed to function, blending in with the universe as a collective law that was not to be breached.

As for Old Mo, who was connected to the governing laws, he was able to wield them.

"You actually obtained Heaven’s Sight?" Old Mo looked like a madman. Unfathomable power erupted from his entire body, and the darkness energy was unleashed without any control, causing chaos and destruction to reign throughout the entire Umbral Universe.
