When the black and white cocoon shattered, Split the Heavens slashed towards Lu Yin's face. Lu Yin raised his left arm, and white gas formed a shield that blocked Split the Heavens. Lu Yin's eyes flashed. What a terrifying attack! Even he felt a little pressure, but it was only a little. After all, it was a Progenitor battle technique, and even a secret technique could not divert it.
With a whoosh, Lu Yin exerted force with his left arm and flung Split the Heavens away.
Bai Shaohong's pupils shrank. How was this possible?
Split the Heavens was actually blocked by someone of the same generation?
Long Tian and the rest looked at Lu Yin and felt a chill in their hearts. It was as if they were facing the Grim Reaper.
Lu Yin gripped the giant Gou Lian tightly and slashed at Bai Shaohong. "I'll return it to you."
Bai Shaohong faced the Gou Lian's slash head-on. His subconscious sense of danger made him use his full strength. Just like Wang Su, a phantom image appeared behind him. It was a small pond.
As the phantom image appeared, Bai Shaohong raised his hand and tapped out with Immortal Guides the Way. At the same time, the pond's water was rapidly depleted.
Extreme coldness descended. This was the true Immortal Guides the Way of the Cold Immortal Sect. The power of a single finger was enough to pierce through the void.
Lu Yin's Gou Lian slashed head-on with Immortal Guides the Way.
Terrifying shockwaves swept out in all directions, shattering the void. Lu Yin had thought that this slash would be able to injure Bai Shaohong, but he had underestimated the Young Ancestor, a top disciple of the Cold Immortal Sect. This slash was blocked by Immortal Guides the Way.
However, much of the water in the pond behind Bai Shaohong had been depleted.
"How many more slashes can you block?"
Lu Yin growled. He raised the Gou Lian again and slashed horizontally. This time, he was not only targeting Bai Shaohong, but also Wang Su. He was truly going to fight one against two.
Bai Shaohong could not believe that a stowaway from an abandoned land was actually stronger than him. "I'll block it. You attack."
Wang Su did not hesitate, and his figure flashed into the Astral Source Universe. Lu Yin had used up the Exquisite Lake's spring water, so he could not see the Astral Source Universe. However, did he need to see it?
Black beams of light appeared from all directions and wrapped around Lu Yin. This was the Wang family's secret technique — Restriction.
Lu Yin raised his left hand and grabbed the black chains that coiled around him like a nebula. He then swept them all around him.
The forbidden technique was shattered, and Wang Su walked out from the Astral Source Universe. The phantom palms behind his back congealed, and he sent a palm strike at Lu Yin. It was as if two palms were descending.
The palm froze the moment it entered the black gas surrounding Lu Yin's body.
Wang Su was astonished. How was this possible?
Lu Yin turned around, and Gou Lian slashed diagonally. Wang Su waved his left hand, using the Four Ultimates Technique — Skyblade. With a bang, Skyblade shattered, but Gou Lian's speed didn't change as Lu Yin continued to slash down diagonally. Ripples appeared on Wang Su's body as she used her secret technique — Zenith.
The power of the Supreme Secret Technique was terrifying. Even Bai Shaohong and the others were wary of it.
Previously, Lu Yin had relied on reciting the Stonewall Scriptures to break free from the suppression of the Zenith secret technique, but this time, he was caught off guard and was instantly suppressed by the technique. However, it was only for an instant, and Wang Su quickly retreated. Lu Yin looked up again, and the Goulian slashed out again. Blood splattered everywhere as Wang Su was injured.
Bai Shaohong appeared behind him. "Split the Heavens."
Another Split the Heavens was unleashed, but this time, its power was even greater than the previous one. Bai Shaohong's strength had increased once again by relying on his visualization technique, so Lu Yin had to be cautious. Gou Lian turned around and slashed out in a huge arc, enveloping everyone within.
The entire void was sliced apart.
Shangqing, Yao Xuan, and the others had been cautious when Lu Yin had used the Grim Reaper's Transformation. The last match of the Sovereign Tournament had left a deep impression on them, and they knew that Lu Yin was different from his usual self. His actions leaned towards the dark side, and they were afraid of being implicated.
The moment Lu Yin slashed out with Gou Lian, Shangqing and the others immediately fell to the ground without hesitation. They rejoiced at their actions, as this fellow would definitely implicate them all.
Gou Lian slashed through the void, causing Long Tian's expression to change. A phantom python appeared behind him, also using visualization power. As for Xia Shenfei, the phantom of a long blade appeared behind him. The four Junior Ancestors were using their full strength.
Under Gou Lian's slash, the four Junior Ancestors simultaneously moved to block it. The others either fell to the ground or allowed the Junior Ancestors to stand in front of them. Only Dong He was in a situation where no one could defend him, but he had not been able to crouch down in time. The Gou Lian slashed past him, and his head fell to the ground.
Bai Shaohong's eyes widened in anger. Dong He had been a top disciple of the Frigid Immortal Sect, second only to himself, but he had actually died. "Long Seven, I'll have you pay with your life!" Bai Shaohong didn't seem to have done anything, but Lu Yin suddenly saw Nightking Zhenwu laughing maniacally. "You can't beat me, Lu Yin. You'll never be able to beat me. Look at yourself and your people. I'll kill them all one by one. This is what happens when you oppose the Daynight royal family."
The next moment, Ming Yan suddenly appeared with tears in her eyes. "Brother Lu, Father is dead, and I don't want to implicate you. Let me go." She then swallowed the Poison of Life in her hand.
Blood drained from Lu Yin's face. "No!" He walked forward, wanting to stop Ming Yan from swallowing the Poison of Life. But even though he was only a few steps away, he felt like he was at the end of the world. He would never be able to touch Ming Yan at this moment, and he could only watch as the Poison of Life entered her mouth and she died.
Lu Yin felt an intense pain in his chest, and he heard someone's roar. Suddenly, his mind trembled, and Ming Yan disappeared from his sight. He could clearly see his surroundings, but there was no light calling out to him. In front of him, Progenitor Chen and Progenitor Hui were blocking Xia Shenfei and Long Tian. He lowered his head and saw that his chest was bleeding. Was he injured?
Yao Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. The Godburst had pulled Lu Yin back to reality, and he looked at Bai Shaohong in horror. He did not know what this person had done to cause Lu Yin to fall into an illusion. No, it couldn't be called an illusion, as it had not been a spiritual force attack. However, Lu Yin had indeed lost his mind, and he had been struck by Split the Heavens without any resistance.
Bai Shaohong pointed at the void again and stared at Lu Yin. "You can't escape."
The blood in Lu Yin's chest stopped flowing. He did not know what Bai Shaohong had done, but if it had not been a spiritual force attack, then it had to be a secret technique or an innate gift. The Frigid Immortal Sect had countless inheritances, and Lu Yin's fear of Bai Shaohong had risen to a whole new level.
"Split the Heavens." A phantom line extended towards Lu Yin in front of Bai Shaohong. At the same time, he looked at Lu Yin again. If he had succeeded once, then he could succeed a second time. This was his innate gift, Heart. It was not a spiritual force attack, but rather an unavoidable one. Bai Shaohong would either see the person he hated the most or the person he loved the most.
Lu Yin sighed and recited the Stonewall Scriptures in his mind. When faced with such a strange attack, the Stonewall Scriptures would be able to defend against half of it.
Another scene appeared in front of him, this time with a finger descending. Boundless rage surged into Lu Yin's mind, and he almost shouted, "How dare you!" At the last moment, the Stonewall Scriptures pulled him out of the illusion. He heard the shouts of Invisible Light and the others, and not too far away, Yao Xuan had been injured by someone. Otherwise, he would have used another Divine Explosion.
Split the Heavens was right in front of him, and Lu Yin suddenly attacked. He slashed out with Goulian, splitting Split the Heavens in two. Bai Shaohong watched in shock as Lu Yin slashed out with Goulian again. This time, Bai Shaohong was unable to escape. A huge slash started from his neck and spread to his legs. His entire upper body was cut open, and blood gushed out.
"Junior Patriarch!" Dong Shan roared and leapt to Bai Shaohong's side. Lu Yin did not stop there, and he slashed out with Goulian again.
However, this attack was blocked by a spear. It was Long Tian, and a phantom of the Ancestral Python appeared behind him. The White Dragon's body was covered in dense draconic patterns, and it stared at Lu Yin with a scorching gaze. "This is the Grim Reaper. I remember now. Long Seven, come back to the clan with me.
"Idiot," Lu Yin said. Goulian pressed down with force, causing the spear to crack. At the same time, his left hand gripped the black nebula chain and smashed it towards Long Tian.
Long Tian raised a hand and grabbed at the Nebula Chain. Lu Yin had not expected that he would actually be able to grab it, and he had actually lost control of the chain for a moment. This was the first time something like this had happened, and he looked at Long Tian in shock.
Long Tian's gaze was cold. "You underestimate us too much."
At that moment, Long Xi's voice rang out in Lu Yin's ears. "Big Bro's innate gift isn't spatial, it's grabbing. He can grab anything, including space."
Lu Yin was astonished; there was such an innate gift?
The chain was grabbed by Long Tian, and Lu Yin slashed out with Goulian. Behind him, Xia Shenfei appeared. "Reverse," and Lu Yin's slash returned to its original position.
Lu Yin was disgusted; it was this move again.
Xia Shenfei waved his hand, and star energy enveloped Lu Yin. Although it wasn't an attack, this action scared Long Tian so much that he immediately retreated.
Lu Yin instinctively felt that something was wrong, and Long Xi's voice rang out in his ears again. "Xia Shenfei's innate gift allows him to relive the past. He can recreate any pain you've experienced, whether it's your soul or your body."
Lu Yin's scalp went numb; each of these fellows' innate gifts was stranger than the last. This was the Junior Ancestor's strength, and it was no wonder that no one else could catch up to him.
Xia Shenfei's star energy enveloped him, and his innate gift was about to be revealed. Lu Yin couldn't avoid it, so he pulled someone else in: Shang Qing.
Blood spurted out in front of Lu Yin as a large wound appeared on his chest. This wound was the same one that Progenitor Chen had used to attack him during the Sovereign Tournament when he had been trapped by the sourcebox array. This attack had made Shang Qing think that the battle was over, but he had activated the Reaper's Transformation.
Now, this attack had appeared, and it had originated from Xia Shenfei.
Shang Qing's past also appeared, and it was Liu Tianmu's Thirteenth Sword. Shang Qing had rarely been injured, and the Thirteenth Sword had left the deepest impression on him. Xia Shenfei's innate gift allowed him to experience it once more, and blood trickled down his lips.
"Punishment," Lu Yin growled.
Shang Qing was at a loss as to how he had been injured. He thought that Liu Tianmu had attacked, but when he heard Lu Yin's voice, he subconsciously used a secret technique — Punishment.
Punishment was the Hall of Honor's most disgusting secret technique, and it could perfectly reflect an attack.
Xia Shenfei was still at a loss as to why Lu Yin had dragged Shang Qing over and injured both of them. All of a sudden, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he couldn't help but cough up blood. Was he injured?
Where did this come from?
This injury was familiar; was it that woman's Thirteenth Sword?
Xia Shenfei looked at Liu Tianmu and found that he was being suppressed by Liu Hao. How could this be?
"Don't make me fight all four of you. Hold down one for me," Lu Yin said to Shang Qing, and then the Star Chessboard appeared beneath his feet as he activated the Secret Plan. He was about to take the initiative to attack.
