Gui Qian retreated again, "What are you trying to do?"
"I'm asking you a question. Did you absorb the death energy or produce it yourself?" Lu Yin asked coldly.
Gui Qian gritted his teeth, "I absorbed it. No one can produce it."
Lu Yin frowned, "Where did you absorb it?"
"The Ghost Abyss," Gui Qian answered.
"What else?
Is there no other place in this region with death energy? "Lu Yin asked.
Gui Qian looked at Lu Yin strangely, "You're the successor of the Death God, the only person in the world who can create death energy. How dare you ask me such a question?"
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. Create death energy?
He couldn't do that.
"The original death energy came from the Death God. There was no death energy in the universe, and it was created by the Death God. Our race only borrowed death energy to cultivate in the distant past. We're not the masters of death energy," Gui Qian explained.
Lu Yin thought of the Specter Clan, which was similar to the Specter Clan. The Specter Clan could transform ordinary people, and theoretically, anyone could absorb death qi. However, the process would become uncontrollable. The Specter Clan had cultivated using death qi a long time ago, and their descendants had gradually adapted to it. That was how they had become a race, and the Ghost Abyss in this part of the universe was the same.
Perhaps the Ghost Abyss Clan was part of the Specter Clan.
"Go to the Ghost Abyss. You can become its king," Gui Qian suddenly said, his eyes filled with fervor. He seemed to have thought of something, and that fervor grew.
Lu Yin sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid?
If I go to the Ghost Abyss, you'll be the one to decide whether I live or die. "
Gui Qian hurriedly said, "The Death God's inheritance isn't something that can be obtained through cultivation. No one can steal it from you. Since you're the Death God, you're the master of the Ghost Abyss. Only there will you be able to cultivate better. When you become a Progenitor, you'll be the Death God. That's the most ancient ancestor, a true invincible powerhouse.
Lu Yin didn't believe him.
"Long Seven, trust me. Only the Ghost Abyss will sincerely help you," Gui Qian said.
Lu Yin looked at him. "You were wary of me from the start, and now you're saying that you'll help me with everything you have. Do you think I'll believe you?"
Crown Prince Gui Qian said in a low voice, "I'm just not willing to accept that the Death God's inheritance that I, Gui Chi, have been pursuing for countless years, has been obtained by an outsider like you. However, the inheritance cannot be taken away, and since you have the opportunity to become the Death God's successor, I, Gui Chi, will do my best to help you become a Progenitor. At that time, no one in the entire starry sky will be your opponent."
"I'm a stowaway from the abandoned lands," Lu Yin replied.
Said Prince Gui Qian loudly, "The Ghost Abyss is feared by the entire starry sky. The Four Cardinal Scales are suppressing the Ghost Abyss, and they don't want us to come out. Many ancestors are watching us, and even if we have an ancestor, he can't come out. Only you, only you can lead us out of the starry sky. What does the abandoned land have to do with us? We have a common enemy, the Four Cardinal Scales."
Lu Yin didn't believe Gui Qian's words. He didn't know where the guy got his confidence from, but he didn't seem reliable at all.
However, Prince Gui Qian's words about the Death God's inheritance convinced Lu Yin. His Death God Transformation couldn't really be the Death God's inheritance, right?
Only the Death God could create death energy. Could he really create death energy?
He didn't immediately ask Gui Qian, as he wanted to slowly fish for information.
Finally, Lu Yin met with Yu Hua Mavis.
She looked up. "You're back?"
Lu Yin shook his head. "I can't for now. I've been targeted."
"Your identity has been discovered?"
Yu Hua Mavis was astonished.
Lu Yin replied, "I don't know, but I've been targeted by that strange old man."
Yu Hua Mavis had a strange expression. "Why are you looking for me?"
Lu Yin smiled. "I've become an Enlighter and passed three stages. I wanted to spar with you."
Yu Hua Mavis's eyes narrowed. "Looking for a beating?"
Lu Yin raised a brow. "Are you serious?"
Yu Hua Mavis snorted, and the grass beneath her feet spread out and transformed into countless fists that smashed towards Lu Yin.
Lu Yin smiled. "Be serious. I don't even know how powerful I am right now." He then waved his hand, causing a gale to sweep out and slice through the void, shattering all of the grass fists that had transformed into grass.
Yu Hua Mavis's fists came crashing down with a ferocious expression. She looked as if she was going to go all out. She felt very sullen, as Lu Yin had come looking for her to spar with after breaking through to the Enlighter realm. He was treating her like a touchstone, and she felt that she was being looked down upon.
Lu Yin raised a hand, but he didn't use any Empty Palm or Overlaying Stacks. He just used pure strength to meet the attack.
There was a loud bang, and the void distorted as a gale spread out in an arc. Lu Yin firmly grasped Yu Hua Mavis's fist, just like during the Sovereign Tournament. The only difference was that Lu Yin had needed to fling Yu Hua Mavis away, but now, he didn't need to do so.
Yu Hua Mavis's fist was firmly grasped by Lu Yin, and she couldn't break free for a moment. She stepped barefoot on Lu Yin's chest and tried to pull her fist back, but Lu Yin's lips curled up as he exerted more strength. Pain spread from her fist, and she gritted her teeth as a green brilliance blossomed around her body. Branches and leaves wrapped around her, and finally, a green leaf imprint was imprinted on her forehead.
Yu Hua Mavis growled, and she exerted even more strength on Lu Yin's chest in an attempt to break free. Lu Yin could feel her strength, and golden stripes gradually appeared on his arm. That was ten-lined battle force.
Yu Hua Mavis was still unable to break free, and she suddenly raised her knee and aimed it at Lu Yin's face. Lu Yin blocked it with his left hand and flicked his finger against Yu Hua Mavis's knee, causing her entire body to go numb and her movements to become sluggish. Lu Yin then released his hand and allowed Yu Hua Mavis to fall to the ground.
Yu Hua Mavis stood on the ground, panting heavily as she looked at Lu Yin in shock. How could the difference be so exaggerated?
During the Sovereign Tournament, Heaven's Emergence Mavis had used her limitless strength to fight against Lu Yin's Two Hundred and Fifty Stacks Empyrean Palm. Even though she had lost, outsiders had felt that they were evenly matched. Now, Heaven's Emergence Mavis had improved, but Lu Yin's improvement was even more exaggerated.
Even if he hadn't broken through to the Enlighter realm and passed the three stages, Lu Yin's golden battle force would have been enough to maintain the gap between them.
The difference between the two was so great that it was impossible to make up for it.
Yu Hua Mavis could no longer take a few punches from Lu Yin; she couldn't even take a single one. 350 Stacks was enough to shatter her into pieces.
"Monster." Even Yu Hua Mavis could only say these two words at this moment.
Lu Yin looked at his right hand, "You're really strong."
Yu Hua Mavis frowned, "Taunt?"
Lu Yin laughed dryly, "Praise."
"That doesn't sound like it from your mouth," Yu Hua Mavis said, "Since you haven't returned yet, you should leave. I'm going to cultivate."
Lu Yin was a little conflicted. He had another reason for coming here, which was to borrow money. After all, she was the descendant of the Mavis family's Treeheart, so she should be quite rich. However, it seemed that he had offended her too much, and she was angry.
He coughed, "Then I'll come again next time."
Yu Hua Mavis' back was to Lu Yin, and she didn't even want to look at him.
After Lu Yin left, Invisible Light appeared, "The difference is too great. Even if he doesn't use that transformation, he should be able to suppress the Junior Ancestor."
Yu Hua Mavis calmly replied, "You can exclude him from the comparison."
Invisible Light deeply agreed, as she had been dealt a blow when compared to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin put away Mount Supreme and the General Appointing Platform appeared in front of him. He rarely used his second innate gift, or rather, he couldn't use it in front of others, especially in this part of space.
Bai Shaohong immediately confirmed Lu Yin's identity when he saw the platform. Lu Yin was certain that this was the symbol of the Lu family, and if he used it, it would shock the entire region.
"In my name, summon the general," Lu Yin growled as the star energy in his body rapidly drained away. Bai Shaohong's figure appeared in front of him, standing there silently. He looked exactly the same as he had when he was alive, but he had no intelligence and was completely formed from Lu Yin's star energy.
"Do it," Lu Yin ordered. Bai Shaohong suddenly looked up and tapped out, using Immortal Guides the Way. Lu Yin raised a hand and flicked his finger, causing a strong gale to disintegrate Immortal Guides the Way. Bai Shaohong raised a hand and pressed down, causing clouds to descend from the sky at some point. Secret Technique: Cloudfall.
The moment he used the secret technique, the star energy in Lu Yin's body decreased once more. Any attack that Bai Shaohong used originated from Lu Yin's star energy.
Cloudfall froze Lu Yin, and the phantom of the Frozen Celestial Pond appeared behind Bai Shaohong. He tapped out once more, using Immortal Guides the Way.
This time, the water in the Frozen Celestial Pond disappeared at a visible rate.
Lu Yin's star energy was also rapidly depleting.
Faced with Bai Shaohong's Immortal Guides the Way, Lu Yin raised a hand and struck out with Empty Palm.
Bai Shaohong's finger collapsed with a whoosh, spreading to his arm and eventually destroying half of his body. If Bai Shaohong had a physical body, this attack would have been enough to heavily injure him.
Bai Shaohong looked up and stared at Lu Yin. Lu Yin suddenly saw Ming Yan looking at him with grief, and his heart trembled. In front of him, Bai Shaohong pointed at the void and used Split the Heavens.
Black lines swept out, and Lu Yin recited the Stonewall Scriptures to break free from Bai Shaohong's innate gift. He struck out again, this time with Empty Palm.
With his previous combat strength, the Emptiness Palm was not enough to break through Split the Heavens. However, this Emptiness Palm was able to distort Split the Heavens, splitting it in two. The palm wind swept past Bai Shaohong's body, scattering him.
Lu Yin felt completely suppressed. Although Bai Shaohong didn't have any intelligence, the difference was still too great. Even if he did, Lu Yin believed that he could completely suppress him.
This was Lu Yin's current strength.
Nearly a tenth of the star energy in his body had been used up.
Lu Yin calculated that Bai Shaohong had used his innate gift, secret technique, battle technique, and so on to summon Bai Shaohong. In addition, Lu Yin had only used a tenth of his own energy. This meant that he could still summon the Giant Emperor and even more people at the same time.
And this was only his current star energy reserves. Once he had more, he would be able to summon more experts.
Bai Shaohong wasn't an ordinary person; he was second only to Lu Yin in his generation. Lu Yin didn't know how much star energy it would take to summon an Emissary, but he was looking forward to finding one.
