Behind Wang Su, the phantom became clearer. It was a palm, and the patterns on it were clearly visible. It set off Wang Su, giving her a sacred aura.
When he saw this, the word "imprint" suddenly popped up in Lu Yin's mind. Was there an imprint in this universe?
No, an imprint was meant to imprint a person, but this was a palm?
Liu Tianmu and the rest were shocked. The moment the phantom palm appeared, Wang Su's entire person had changed. She had easily blocked the Hollow Palm. Her strength had undergone a qualitative change.
Opposite them, Liu Hao exclaimed, "The visualization technique that originally belonged to the Lu family was divided up by the Four Cardinal Scales to create the four Junior Ancestors. Is this the power of visualization?"
Liu Tianmu heard him. The Lu family?
She looked at Lu Yin.
Long Tian and the rest retreated. Wang Su had already used the power that only the Junior Ancestor had grasped, so it was time for this farce to end. What they needed to do now was wait for Long Seven to be defeated so that they could snatch the Origin Item.
Long Xi's face turned pale. She had seen and experienced the visualization technique before, which was why she was certain that the Junior Ancestor was invincible. Even if she broke through the lower threshold, even if she was given a tribulation crystal pillar to break through the middle threshold and reach the same realm as the Junior Ancestor, it would be useless. Only the Junior Ancestor of the Four Cardinal Scales could cultivate visualization. In the entire Cosmic Tree Realm, there were only a handful of people who could do so. This was a power that belonged solely to the Lu family, a power that belonged to the master of a continent, but it had been divided up by the Four Cardinal Scales.
Lu Yin sized up the current Wang Su. The phantom behind this woman was not an imprint, but rather the same as the tree phantom behind Yu Hua Mavis. Could it be the same power?
Wang Su's body suddenly disappeared, and Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat. Not good! She had broken into the Astral Source Universe at extreme speed. Without thinking, Lu Yin took out a drop of spring water and dripped it into his eyes. At the same time, he retreated. When he opened his eyes, he saw Wang Su's cold eyes on his right, but he pretended not to see her. Wang Su circled around Lu Yin and appeared behind him. She waved her hand and used the Four Uniques Technique — Skyblade.
Lu Yin executed his Greater Teleportation Array and circled behind Wang Su. He then raised both hands and struck out with his Emptiness Palm continuously. Wang Su had not expected Lu Yin to be able to see her movements. She turned around and struck out consecutively as well.
Bang bang bang bang bang …
Dozens of explosions sounded as their palms collided, tearing the void apart. The power of the collision was more than 500,000 combat power, leaving Invisible Light, Wen Yiyi, and the others speechless.
Long Xi was shocked. Long Qi was as strong as the young ancestor?
With a boom, the two palms collided once again. Both Lu Yin and Wang Su retreated at the same time, panting heavily.
Wang Su was astonished. Even after using the visualization technique, he still wasn't able to suppress Sun Mo?
This person's strength had definitely reached the level of a junior ancestor.
Lu Yin's palm hurt. This woman's palm was fierce and domineering, and he didn't know what she'd added to it. She didn't seem to be at a disadvantage when it collided with his Emptiness Palm. Fortunately, she wasn't able to suppress him.
This battle reminded him of his battle with Wang Yi. Their strength was almost equal, and it would be difficult to determine the victor in a short period of time.
At this moment, everyone had an unspoken rule, and that was to not use any external objects. Among those of the same generation, who didn't want to suppress everyone?
Lu Yin had displayed a strength that was enough to fight against Wang Su, and this caused Long Tian's expression to turn extremely ugly. He had been played. This Long Qi possessed such strength, yet he had been treating Long Tian as a joke from the start.
How detestable! Bai Shaohong's originally relaxed attitude turned serious. There was actually someone with such strength in the wastelands? He thought about it and looked at Shangqing. This person wasn't weak either. He hadn't expected that after an epoch, the wastelands would produce more and more elites.
(This chapter isn't finished. Please turn the page.)
This wasn't good. He had to deal with this when he returned.
Shangqing's eyes narrowed. Even if he and Lu Yin delayed the two junior ancestors, the other two could easily deal with Yao Xuan and the rest. It was impossible for them to break out of the encirclement in their current state.
"Wang Su, end this quickly!" Bai Shaohong suddenly charged over and pressed down with one hand. Secret Technique — Cloud Descent.
Wang Su didn't stop him, as this wasn't the time for a fair battle.
Lu Yin frowned when the two junior ancestors joined forces. How troublesome.
Shangqing hurriedly waved his hand, and Progenitor Chen leaped forward, but he was blocked by Long Tian. Not only did Long Tian block Progenitor Chen, but he also wanted to attack Shangqing. A spear shot out from the void. Shangqing didn't have any spring water, so he couldn't see Long Tian's attack coming from the Astral Source Universe. However, Progenitor Hui could help him evade the attack, and he also gave Long Tian a sealed sourcebox array.
The sealed sourcebox array wasn't that easy to break free from, so Xia Shenfei made his move. "Do you think you can stop the two of us by yourself?"
As he spoke, his Divine Martial Force swept out, and Shangqing once again dodged under Progenitor Hui's guidance. However, this space was only so big, and there was no way for him to dodge. In the end, he was still injured by Xia Shenfei's area-of-effect attack, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Progenitor Chen slashed at Xia Shenfei from behind, but Xia Shenfei turned around and raised his hand. "Secret Technique — Reverse." As soon as he spoke, Progenitor Chen's entire body actually retreated. At this moment, Long Tian's White Dragon Transformation broke free of the sealed sourcebox array, and his spear pierced through Progenitor Chen's body, turning him into a stream of air.
Shangqing coughed up another mouthful of blood. He could fight one junior ancestor by himself, but he couldn't fight two of them at once.
In the distance, Lu Yin was also in trouble. Bai Shaohong's Cloud Descent hadn't been able to trap him, but Bai Shaohong had never thought of trapping him. After Lu Yin had used the Secret Art of Plan to evade, Bai Shaohong had immediately found him and pointed at the void. "Split the Heavens."
A black line streaked across, slicing through the void.
Lu Yin's face paled, as the Yu Secret Art was useless. This was a Progenitor battle technique, and he hurriedly tried to use his teleportation array. However, he had already exposed many of his techniques during his battle with Wang Su. His teleportation array had been forcefully disrupted by Wang Su's star energy, and he had also just used the Secret Art of Plan. He had no choice but to face Split the Heavens head-on.
Bai Shaohong had absolute confidence that Split the Heavens would be enough to cut this person in half at the waist unless he used a power vessel. However, even if he did, Bai Shaohong was prepared.
Lu Yin raised a hand, and a flow diversion diagram appeared. Split the Heavens slashed horizontally at the diagram, which was capable of diverting power, domains, battle techniques, and even more bizarre attacks. However, it collapsed upon contact with Split the Heavens. Behind the diagram was the Fatesand, but it was also cut apart and returned to Lu Yin's body. These two defenses had helped Lu Yin hold on for another second, but that was enough. When he had used the Secret Art of Plan to evade the attack, he had chosen to attack Gui Qian.
Gui Qian wasn't too far away from Lu Yin, and he stared blankly at everything that had happened. Even someone as sinister as him wanted to curse at this moment, as he was also within range of Split the Heavens. He had been cut in half by Split the Heavens outside the Spirit Void Temple, and he could still remember that feeling. Now, it was happening again?
Just as Gui Qian was about to take out a power vessel to defend himself, Lu Yin took a step forward and arrived beside him. He pressed down on Gui Qian's shoulder with one hand. "Let me borrow your death aura."
Gui Qian was stunned. "What did you say?"
As soon as he spoke, the death aura around his body rapidly flowed towards Lu Yin. At the same time, the death aura within his body flowed towards Lu Yin at an even faster rate and was absorbed by him.
Gui Qian was dumbfounded; who else could use death aura aside from Gui Yuan?
This was death aura, and it wasn't any ordinary power. This guy could actually absorb it, and he didn't even know how!
(This chapter isn't finished. Please turn the page.)
What? The moment he touched Lu Yin, he felt like he was being suppressed. This was what it felt like to be suppressed by the top.
Gui Qian was certain that he hadn't heard wrong; Long Seven had just said that he wanted to borrow death aura, and then his own death aura had been uncontrollably sucked away.
This was something that completely subverted his worldview. Other than the practitioners of the Ghost Abyss, no one else should be able to cultivate the death aura. Moreover, even if it was a practitioner of the Ghost Abyss, no one in his generation could absorb his death aura. Not to mention his peers, even an Envoy-level practitioner of the death aura would not be able to absorb his death aura.
But Long Seven had done it. What the hell?
Gui Qian was dumbfounded.
Lu Yin could have left earlier, but he'd stayed because he'd clearly sensed that he'd absorbed a bit of death qi when Gui Qian had first attacked. This was something he wanted to confirm. He wanted to see if he could absorb death qi.
Reality proved that he could.
As Gui Qian's death aura entered his body, Split the Heavens drew closer and closer. At Lu Yin's chest, the black and white mist that had been reduced by a lot surged, merging with the death aura and rapidly spreading throughout his body.
Under the astonished gazes of the Shang Qing and the others, a black and white cocoon formed around Lu Yin's body. Split the Heavens slashed directly at the cocoon, but it didn't break. However, Split the Heavens didn't disappear either; it seemed to be in a stalemate.
Two seconds later, the black and white cocoon split open, and Lu Yin's appearance changed completely.
His eyes were pure black, his hair fell to his waist, and his upper body was half-naked.
Black gas swirled around his body like a spinning nebula, turning into chains that spiraled around him. His body was branded with an incomprehensible dark red pattern, and his left arm was wrapped in white gas, forming a shield. His right hand held a giant goggle, and the black gas behind him rose like a cloud, occasionally forming a pair of eyes that were still and emotionless. This was the Grim Reaper Transformation.
The Shang Qing and the others felt their scalps go numb when they saw Lu Yin's appearance. He had appeared in the final battle of the Sovereign Tournament. A feeling of despair once again enveloped them. In that battle, everyone had worked together, but they hadn't been able to defeat this Lu Yin. No, they hadn't even been able to make him move a single step.
This was the true strength of the Fifth Mainland's Sovereign.
The Shang Qing and the others had been shocked after seeing it once, so there was no need to mention Bai Shaohong and the others. At this moment, they were all dumbfounded as they stared at Lu Yin. What the hell?
Wang Su stared closely at Lu Yin's appearance. It was so familiar, as if he had seen or heard of it somewhere before.
Lu Yin looked up, his pure black eyes sweeping over Bai Shaohong. Bai Shaohong's heart trembled as an indescribable feeling of fear welled up within him. It was as if he was being suppressed by an indescribable existence.
The one who felt this feeling the most was Gui Qian.
The moment Lu Yin appeared in the Grim Reaper Transformation, Gui Qian's brain felt like it was about to explode. No one understood this form better than Gui Yuan. This was the Grim Reaper.
The Grim Reaper wasn't a legend. Even though everyone thought it was just a legend, Gui Yuan knew that an ancient ancestor had truly existed. He had been a true unparalleled powerhouse that had surpassed humanity's understanding of Progenitors. He wasn't someone that the Four Cardinal Scales' inheritances could compare to. Only the Lu family, which had once ruled over this part of the universe, could.
The Grim Reaper's inheritance had actually appeared in the Fifth Mainland, in the hands of a stowaway in an abandoned land. This was the level that Gui Yuan had always wanted to reach, but it had seemed so far away.
