Emperor Venerable stepped forward and rammed straight into Ye Wu. Ye Wu stood motionless, and the impact sent him flying, but Emperor Venerable was also knocked back by an indescribable force.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. So that was it.
Ye Wu had some unknown method that injured anyone who attacked him, regardless of the outcome. It was a Sequence Rule, but Lu Yin still couldn't figure out exactly what kind.
He had Emperor Venerable attack Ye Wu because Emperor Venerable's defenses were strong enough to withstand that kind of damage.
Inside Emperor Venerable, Shang Huang was full of alarm and uncertainty. What was that force? It had actually knocked Emperor Venerable back. It wasn't obvious from the outside, but he knew the barrier's defenses had been pushed to their limit. They might not hold if it happened again.
How could the Heavenly Sect have enemies like this everywhere?
Shang Huang considered himself unlucky. Before encountering the Heavenly Sect, the Infinite Empire had been invincible. But ever since they came to the Fifth Continent, disaster had struck. They couldn't shake off the Heavenly Sect, and now he'd been dragged in as a hired fighter. Every enemy they faced was stronger than the last.
Even he wasn't confident in Emperor Venerable's defenses anymore.

Ye Wu was no less surprised. His Sequence Rule was exceptionally powerful. Back in the Fourth Calamity Domain, Ji Luo had severed his arm with a single sword strike and been injured by the Sequence Rule in return. It was a matter of trading wounds for wounds. Anyone who faced him had to suffer the same consequence.
But that consequence was useless against this machine.
No matter how badly it was damaged, the one who suffered was the machine, not the person inside—let alone Lu
