Lu Yin had only cultivated for twelve years, but he had already reached his current level. It was a miracle in and of itself, so it wouldn't be strange for him to encounter more opportunities. He had already prepared himself for the worst. Even if he had a way to resist the death energy, it would be impossible for him to do so from the side of the pit. Even an Emissary would not be able to do so.
Lu Yin panted heavily as more and more scenes of slaughter flashed through his mind. It was as if he was hallucinating as enemies appeared one after another and turned into zombies that surrounded him.
He clenched his fists. "Scram! Scram! All of you scram!" With a roar, Lu Yin waved his hand and attacked the void. The death energy left behind an empty space, but it quickly filled up again.
Lu Yin half-knelt on the ground, his entire body trembling. He had absorbed too much death energy, and he felt like he was losing control.
A few more days passed, and a large amount of death energy had settled in Lu Yin's body, almost filling up the star energy he needed to break through to the Hunter realm. The amount of death energy he had absorbed here was more than ten times that of the previous location, and he had already reached the amount he needed to break through to the Hunter realm. However, his consciousness was gradually fading away, and even reciting the Stonewall Scriptures was useless.
Death energy was not spiritual force, and the Stonewall Scriptures could not help him.
Lu Yin had seen too much, and he silently recited the Stonewall Scriptures in his mind as he tried his best to maintain a bit of consciousness. It would be great if he could circulate the Arcane Art of Life and Death. If the death energy was truly ineffective against him because of the Arcane Art of Life and Death, then would it be able to dissolve the death energy?
No, the Arcane Art of Life and Death might be able to absorb more death energy!
Lu Yin subconsciously thought about it, but he did not know what he was thinking. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. The Arcane Art of Life and Death … If the Arcane Art of Life and Death absorbed death energy, then could the opposite technique suppress death energy?
The Arcane Art of Life and Death suppressed a person's recovery potential and put them in a situation where they were certain to die. This was why no one had been able to successfully cultivate it for countless years, but anyone who succeeded would experience a massive increase in their strength. Lu Yin knew the opposite technique, and that was the Daynight Restoration Technique.
The Daynight Restoration Technique increased a person's potential and limitlessly increased their recovery abilities.
The first time he had encountered Zhanlong Daynight's Daynight Restoration Technique on Shenwu Continent, he had felt suppressed because the two techniques were complete opposites.
The Daynight Restoration Technique was a powerful technique from the Daynight clan, and it had instilled fear in its name. It was famous throughout the universe, and although it was suppressed by the Arcane Art of Life and Death energy.
Coincidentally, when Lu Yin had stolen Nightking Zhenwu's inheritance stone, he had learned the Daynight Restoration Technique after entering the inheritance corridor.
At that time, he had thought that if he cultivated the Mystic Art of Life and Death and then cultivated the Daynight Restoration Technique, it would be equivalent to eating poison. Now, it was time to eat poison.
If his guess was correct, then the Death Qi was beneficial to him because of the Mysterious Art of Life and Death. In that case, the White Night Restoration Art might have the effect of resisting the Death Qi.
If he allowed the death aura to transform him, then he really would become a weapon of the Neohuman Alliance. When that happened, he wouldn't be able to escape from Progenitor Chen's tomb.
Of course, cultivating the White Night Restoration Technique could also make him miserable, but since he had already reached this step, he could only choose to cultivate.
The Daynight Restoration Technique was not easy to cultivate, or else Zhanlong Daynight would not have been the only one who had learned it. As a member of the Daynight clan, Zhanlong Daynight had been able to suppress Nightqueen Yanqing just because he had learned the technique.
Lu Yin took a deep breath. As of now, as long as it was not a Progenitor battle technique, he could quickly master it.
Not long after, he successfully activated the Daynight Restoration Technique.
It was as if a huge rock had been thrown into a calm lake. The moment the Daynight Restoration Technique was activated, the deathly aura in his body boiled as if it had encountered a strong enemy. Endless deathly aura roared and tried to suppress the Daynight Restoration Technique.
If Lu Yin had lost consciousness, the technique would have quickly been suppressed and completely disappeared. However, he still retained a bit of consciousness, and he used the remaining star energy in his body to forcefully activate the Daynight Restoration Technique to resist the death energy in his body.
Suddenly, the cycle of death energy in the outside world was cut off, and he was no longer part of the cycle. The endless death energy no longer entered his body.
Lu Yin heaved a sigh of relief and was overjoyed. It had worked! He had to hold on until Silver brought him to Progenitor Chen's tomb.
Lu Yin was very grateful to Nightking Zhenwu. If not for his inheritance stone, he would not have been able to learn the Daynight Restoration Technique, and he might have been reduced to a weapon of the Neohuman Alliance.
Lu Yin did not know how the monkey was doing, as it had actually been born from Progenitor Wushang's shadow. It was no wonder why it could absorb Progenitor blood. It had broken through to the Hunter realm right after absorbing Progenitor blood. Was it that easy to advance in realms?
That was impossible, and it was a little shocking. The monkey should have been a powerhouse in the past, but its memories were in chaos and had lost them, just like Lu Yin.
Lu Yin did not know how the Five Scions of the Stars were doing. The Neohuman Alliance had attacked the Mountain and Sea Realm, and the golden screen had swept everyone away. Why hadn't it swept Silver away?
What a pity.
This place was a little cold, and he did not know if there were any extra clothes. He also did not know if he would run into any familiar faces. It would be best if he did not, as he might end up killing someone.
…
Lu Yin's thoughts were all over the place as he circulated the Daynight Restoration Technique. He had to think about all sorts of things, as he was afraid that his consciousness would scatter. Once that happened, he would be finished.
He had never thought that the Daynight Restoration Technique, which he had once thought to be a poison, would become the only technique that could save him. The universe was too interesting, and he remembered reading many books when he had been a librarian on Earth. There was a saying that went, "The Dao of Heaven is a cycle." Could this be the case?
Speaking of which, it had been a long time since he had returned to Earth. If he could leave this place alive, he would bring Ming Yan with him. It was time to marry her, and then, would he have a boy or a girl?
This was a question worth considering.
If it was a boy, Lu Yin's looks would be average. If it was a girl, it would be fine if she looked like Yan 'er. However, Yan' er was too beautiful, and Lu Yin could not bear to marry off his daughter.
How about a boy and a girl? He had heard that only a blessed person could give birth to a boy and a girl.
That was not right. Lu Yin had such a long lifespan that he could even give birth to ten boys and ten girls, let alone one boy and one girl. That was not right either. If he wanted to give birth to a child, it should be at night. The one who would appear at night was the white-haired Yan 'er, and that Yan' er would not be easy to deal with. Would she bite?
…
Lu Yin did not know what he was thinking, but it was very strange. His consciousness was not scattered, but he could not control it either. As for the Daynight Restoration Technique, it was constantly circulating to resist the death qi.
His half-scattered consciousness had caused him to lose track of time, and he did not know how much time had passed when he heard footsteps behind him.
He suddenly woke up and subconsciously pretended to be unconscious as he let out a low growl.
Silver appeared beside him and patted him on the shoulder.
Lu Yin immediately suppressed the death qi in his body.
Silver slowly walked in front of Lu Yin and looked into his eyes.
A single glance caused Lu Yin's heart to go cold. Lu Yin's eyes had turned pitch-black, as if they were black holes that could absorb light.
Silver frowned, as he had never seen such pupils before. How could this be?
Lu Yin's consciousness was clear at the moment, and he controlled the death qi to condense in his eyes. However, he did not know that his pupils had already changed, and they had become something that even Silver could not understand.
Silver carefully observed Lu Yin, and a butterfly appeared in his right hand.
A blade slashed across Lu Yin's arm, leaving behind a scar. Aside from bloodstains, there was also death qi surging out.
This was a sign that Lu Yin had absorbed too much death qi.
Silver found it strange. After absorbing so much death qi, Lu Yin's pupils had actually become like this. He could not understand it at all.
"Captain, you've become so strange that even I don't recognize you anymore. My Specter Clan has never had pupils like yours. Perhaps you've really succeeded in your transformation, or perhaps you're just faking it. But no matter what, I'll take you to Progenitor Chen's tomb and fight for what I want there. If you're just faking it, then I'll admit that you've got some skill," Silver said with a smile. He then moved his fingers and walked towards the surface.
Lu Yin followed behind him like a zombie, pretending to be a zombie while also being shocked by the scene in his body. At this moment, a strange thing had appeared in his heart. It was like a fog, but also like a hazy black and white starry sky. He did not know what it was or how it had appeared. Was it related to the Arcane Art of Life and Death or the Daynight Restoration Technique?
However, he did not have time to think too much about it. He had used his Fatesand to block that strange thing. He had three pieces of Fatesand they were located in his heart, his left arm, and his right leg. He had also absorbed Hong Ying's Fatesand in the past.
It was still a little small. If possible, he would absorb more Fatesand in the future, he would be able to block this thing better.
He did not know who had Fatesand, but no one had used it in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Had it been useless?
Or had they not been able to use it in time?
Progenitor Chen's tomb was located in the Southern Border, which was the darkest place in the Neoverse. The Seven Courts were gathered there, along with many restless powerhouses from the Neoverse. There was also the Burial Garden and a large number of Neohuman Alliance strongholds.
There was a saying in the Neoverse: whoever could survive in the Southern Border would be able to survive in the Neoverse.
The Southern Border was the most chaotic place with many powerhouses.
The Seven Courts' branches were circular in shape, surrounding Progenitor Chen's tomb in the center. No one could bypass the Seven Courts and enter the tomb.
The Seven Courts had been formed because of Progenitor Chen's tomb. Without Progenitor Chen's tomb, the current Seven Courts would not exist.
Now, it was finally time for Progenitor Chen's tomb to open once every century.
The successors of the Seven Courts had been preparing for this day for a long time.
There was a river in the Southern Border called the Great Underworld River. The raging waves of the Underworld River could corrode anything. The Seven Courts' You family lived in the center of the Great Underworld River.
The spacecraft landed outside the Great Underworld River. The You family's successor, You Qin, and Elder You Ren arrived at the banks of the Great Underworld River and calmly waited.
The You family's disciples were standing guard outside the Great Underworld River. In truth, there was no need for them to stand guard, as the Great Underworld River itself was a defense.
A small boat slowly sailed through the Great Underworld River. The boatman was an old man, and he slowly rowed the boat while singing an unknown tune.
When the boat arrived, You Qin and You Ren both bowed.
"Come on up, children." The boatman kindly smiled as he looked at You Qin and You Ren.
You Qin was the You family's successor and the most powerful expert of the younger generation. She could be called a child, but You Ren had lived for many years and was an Envoy-level powerhouse. It was strange for him to be called a child. But whether it was You Qin or You Ren, they both acted as if it was natural. In front of this old boatman, they were all children.
