All along, the Human Domain had a common understanding that there had never been a generation where so many experts had appeared in the younger generation. Regardless of whether it was the Ten Arbiters or the Neoverse geniuses, any one of them would have been invincible in their generation. Looking at the long river of time, it was rare for so many geniuses to gather in one generation.
Over time, many people believed that this generation's youths were the strongest and had the highest hopes of reaching the Progenitor realm.
However, they did not know that even though there had never been a generation that could rival this many geniuses, there was no lack of absolute powerhouses.
Progenitor Chen, Rune Progenitor, Progenitor Wushang, and even the other Progenitors had been young. At that time, they had been unrivaled and were not inferior to the current generation's absolute powerhouses.
Lu Yin still remembered that the first person on Astral-10's Rain List was Shao Chen. Compared to those of the same generation, that person's control of star energy had surpassed Lu Yin's. There was no lack of such people throughout history.
A few more days passed, and Lu Yin watched many of Progenitor Chen's clones go through their experiences. Most of them were battles, with occasional breaks.
When Lu Yin stepped into the bubble, he saw the Crying Lady standing guard outside.
This time, Lu Yin saw a strange scene. Standing in front of Progenitor Chen was himself — no, that wasn't right. There was someone who looked exactly like one of Progenitor Chen's clones. This person should be one of the nine clones.
It was very strange for two identical people to look at each other. It was like looking into a mirror, but the person in the mirror was moving.
After a while, the stars on Progenitor Chen's body began to revolve. Lu Yin's eyes widened. Was this the Sirius Technique?
Before he could take a closer look, the bubble burst and fell out.
Lu Yin was annoyed, as he had seen Progenitor Chen personally use the Sirius Technique, but he had not been able to watch the entire battle. It had been a battle between Progenitor Chen's clones, which was a pity.
However, even if he had not watched the entire battle, he had seen at least a few thousand stars in that instant. A conservative estimate was that there were no less than five thousand stars. This discovery shocked Lu Yin, as Progenitor Chen had only been an Enlighter at that moment. In other words, he was around the same level as Qiu Shi, who had just become an Enlighter.
Qiu Shi could only use a thousand stars at most, but when Progenitor Chen had been in the same generation as her, the number of stars he had surpassed her by nearly five times. What kind of concept was this?
Progenitor Chen's power level was five times Qiu Shi's, and this was not even counting the other clones.
Nine doppelgangers, nine supreme experts. How strong would the nine of them be when they fused together?
Lu Yin didn't dare to imagine.
If Progenitor Chen had appeared in the Mountain and Sea Realm of the past, he would have been able to single-handedly wipe out everyone, including the Prime Clear.
This was no longer a gap that could be bridged by cultivation techniques.
This was the terrifying expert that the Sixth Mainland did not dare to record in its history.
If Ancestor Chen was like this, then what about the Symbol Ancestor?
He was someone who would not even be acknowledged by history, a powerhouse who had caused a civilization to disappear for a period of time!
Throughout the ages, how many shining stars had been buried by time?
Lu Yin was excited. He really hoped that he could be born in the same generation as these truly brilliant elites and compete with them. That would be the most fascinating thing to him.
Perhaps one day, he would be able to cross the river of time and become a Battle Ancestor!
This was Lu Yin's desire.
As the bubble burst, it was Lu Yin's turn to stand guard.
Hui Santong entered the bubble.
Not long after, Xia Jiuyou arrived. He was ranked behind Ku Lei.
The Xia Clan had an advantage in entering Ancestor Chen's tomb because Ancestor Chen was the ancestor of the Xia Clan.
Lu Yin was very curious about what Xia Jiuyou had obtained from Progenitor Chen's tomb.
Everyone had their own opportunities, and Lu Yin remembered Ku Wei mentioning that there were places in Progenitor Chen's tomb that needed to be unlocked, but Lu Yin had not encountered any.
Lu Yin did not understand much about Progenitor Chen's tomb, and being able to break through to the Hunter realm was already a great opportunity. Now that he had seen the memories of Progenitor Chen's clone, he would not ask for anything else.
However, based on Xia Jiuyou's appearance, the opportunity that he had obtained might have been quite good.
Half a day passed quickly, and Ku Lei was behind Lu Yin.
Ku Lei looked at Lu Yin with anger and fear, but he did not dare to make a move.
As Lu Yin stepped into the bubble, Ku Lei snorted.
After half a day, Hui Santong fell out and stepped into the bubble as well.
Ku Lei calculated the time, and it was almost Xia Jiuyou's turn. Suddenly, his vision went dark, and he could not see anything. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. His hands smelled a disgusting odor, and his five senses were thrown into chaos. Crap, it's the Neohuman Alliance.
Although he hated Lu Yin and wanted to kill him personally, he instinctively unleashed his lightning when facing the Neohuman Alliance.
His chaotic five senses made it impossible for him to wake the others up, so he could only randomly unleash his lightning in hopes that he would be lucky enough to wake them up.
Ku Lei was unlucky, as his lightning did not alert the others. Or rather, the ghoul had already acted and intercepted all of his lightning bolts. Silver, on the other hand, had approached Lu Yin's bubble.
However, Silver's luck was also bad, as Xia Jiuyou had come out.
The moment he appeared, he saw Silver and the ghoul. He raised his hand and used a Netherrefining Palm, which flickered with a dark light as he swatted at the ghoul. Then, with the help of his innate gift of echo, he swatted at Lu Yin.
Xia Jiuyou's Netherrefining Palm did not affect the ghoul at all, and Ku Lei was sent flying by the ghoul's kick.
Lu Yin's bubble was shattered by the Netherrefining Palm, and he suddenly opened his eyes. The Star Chessboard appeared beneath his feet and moved.
The next moment, Butterfly!
The blade pierced through the void, leaving behind a trail of silver light that cut through the sky. Lu Yin dodged the attack and retreated a hundred meters away. "You really came."
Silver beamed at Lu Yin, his tone somewhat helpless. "Bad luck, almost." Then, the spirit doll appeared. Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. Not good! He waved his hand, intending to move the doll.
The spirit doll was moved, but its five senses were also in chaos.
Its nose saw darkness, and its eyes smelled something.
The ghoul crossed the void and punched at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin instinctively activated the Art of Sirius, causing 726 stars to explode. Not only did it delay the ghoul for a second, but it also woke everyone up.
With a thump, the ghoul's punch sent Lu Yin crashing into the ground. Beside him, Hui Santong waved his hand and sent a golden meteor crashing into the ghoul, forcing it back.
The ghoul had already entered the Third Transformation, so it was completely unaffected by Hui Santong's attack. It raised its arm and pressed down, compressing the space around it and causing it to explode.
Hui Santong, Ku Wei, Xia Jiuyou, and the Tear Girl were all sent flying.
Silver pierced through the void, Butterfly!
He flipped his blade and slashed at Lu Yin's neck. His eyes opened slightly, filled with a cold glint. At the same time, death energy formed a scythe behind him and slashed down.
Lu Yin's five senses were in chaos for only a moment, but he recovered the moment Silver attacked. He raised his hand and unleashed an Emptiness Palm.
Silver's eyes widened in shock as the Emptiness Palm tore through the void, sending him and his death energy attack flying. He spat out a mouthful of blood in midair.
The ghoul roared and pressed down viciously.
Lu Yin clenched his fist, his nine-lined battle force surging into the sky as he unleashed his limit — Emptiness Palm.
Boom!
Space split horizontally and spread out for a long distance. The huge collision pressed Lu Yin into the ground while the ghoul was sent flying back.
Up until now, Lu Yin was the only one who could face the ghoul head-on.
The shockwaves from the collision spread out, and even Hui Santong and Ku Lei couldn't withstand it. They spat out mouthfuls of blood as their organs were crushed.
Ku Wei was directly blown away. He didn't even have the ability to resist.
Only Xia Jiuyou was able to stand firmly in place. He raised his blade and slashed down.
The ghoul's head was hit, but it was unharmed.
Xia Jiuyou slashed down a second time.
The ghoul still didn't dodge.
For the third slash, Xia Jiuyou took out a blade. At the same time, the Tearful Lady raised her hand and aimed it at Silver, assuming an attacking stance.
Silver suddenly looked at Xia Jiuyou and took out the divine shaman spirit doll.
Lu Yin waved his hand and used the Yu Secret Art to transfer the doll away. Silver seemed to have expected this, and he turned to smile at Lu Yin. "Captain, we'll meet again." With that, he left.
The ghoul left as well.
Xia Jiuyou's third slash should have been unavoidable, but Silver and the ghoul still managed to avoid it.
Xia Jiuyou's gaze turned solemn. Compared to the ghoul, he actually valued Silver more. This person had terrifying strength, but he had been suppressing it and hadn't made a move yet. He was probably waiting for something.
Lu Yin sighed, as he had also felt it. Even though he had broken through to the Hunter realm and was confident in defeating anyone, he still couldn't see through Silver. He was like a fox, and no one knew what this guy was thinking. Perhaps only Xia Luo could wrestle with him.
When he thought of Xia Luo, Lu Yin was reminded of Progenitor Chen's clone. Progenitor Chen's clones all looked the same, but Xia Luo, Xia Jiuyou, and even Xia Jiuyou's other clones looked different.
This was the difference between Xia Jiuyou and Progenitor Chen.
Lu Yin didn't know if it was a problem with the Nine Clones Technique or if it was their own will. If it was their own will, then Xia Jiuyou's boldness was far inferior to Progenitor Chen's. Progenitor Chen had not feared anyone and had taken a different path. He had even dared to go against the Daosource Sect, which was a supreme power. Xia Jiuyou, on the other hand, could not have done the same.
Lu Yin suddenly felt that Xia Luo's boldness would definitely surpass Xia Jiuyou's.
Silver left, and the doll fell not too far away.
Lu Yin walked over and picked it up. He looked at the doll's strange face and felt a chill run down his spine. Soon, the doll dissipated.
The Witch Spirit was one of the Seven Skygods, and it was one of the top powerhouses in the universe. Even though it had not reached the Progenitor realm, it was probably at least at the Imprint realm. The Neohuman Alliance had seven such existences, and Lu Yin's heart sank when he thought of this number.
"The Neohuman Alliance really thinks highly of you. Don't pretend," Ku Lei mocked Lu Yin as he endured the pain in his body.
Lu Yin looked at him. "Do you believe that I can knock all your teeth out?"
"Brother Lu, why did that person call you captain?
Do you know each other? "Hui Santong asked a crucial question, and everyone looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin nodded. "His name is Silver, and he entered Astral-10 with me from the Outerverse. We went to the Erudite Flowzone's border warfront to train together, and he called me captain back then."
"Didn't any of you realize that he was from the Specter Clan back then?" the tearful lady asked.
Lu Yin shook his head. "Even the Astral-10 mentors didn't notice."
"Impossible! The Astral Combat Academy mentors aren't weak, especially those from Astral-10," Hui Santong blurted out as he stared at Lu Yin.
