After hearing He Xiang's words, Xu San's heart sank, and he looked into the distance. Master, you have to hold on.
Ancestor Lingtong stared at the sky with his dual pupils. The blood-red awls were being crushed by an invisible force, disappearing piece by piece before quickly reappearing in an endless cycle.
From afar, the blood-red awls created by a pair of giant eyes descended. Ancestor Lingtong raised his head and used an invisible force to erase the awls.
Aftershocks swept out, and an Imprinter was caught off guard. He was hit by the aftershocks, and his body split open as he hurriedly fled.
At this time, another pair of eyes appeared above Ancestor Lingtong's head, and they turned into dual pupils that stared at him.
Everyone's heart sank, as the Origin Tribulation was indeed terrifying.
This time, the dual pupils appeared without any visible force, but it caused Ancestor Lingtong to cough up blood. An Imprinter appeared behind him, and with a roar, the two pairs of eyes above his head dissipated at the same time.
Xu San was excited; he had succeeded.
However, in the next moment, the sky split open again, and a pair of dual pupils ten times larger than before appeared. This time, it was not just dual pupils, but also a human face.
Although it was not very clear, Ancestor Lingtong's expression changed when this face appeared. The dual pupils on his face overlapped once again, and this time, it was not just dual pupils, but four pupils, which created a sense of crisis that caused him to stop breathing.
"Lie Tiandi!" Ancestor Lingtong was shocked.
Because his innate gift was dual pupils, Ancestor Lingtong had investigated all cultivators with innate gifts throughout history. Regardless of whether it was the Fifth Mainland, the Sixth Mainland, or the other four legendary mainlands, he had some understanding of them all.
For example, Ming Shi had once been a cultivator with innate gift of dual pupils from the Fifth Mainland. Ancestor Lingtong knew this person very well, and he also knew this person who had appeared now. It was precisely because of this that he was shocked.
Lie Tiandi was the Third Mainland's unparalleled genius, and he had used his fourth pupil to fight against the world. He had challenged all the experts of his generation, and no one had been able to accept his challenge. It was rumored that even the Third Mainland's Daosource Sect's top descendant had been defeated. He was invincible no matter what realm he reached.
Unfortunately, he had died during his Origin Tribulation, which was the same as Ancestor Lingtong's current Origin Tribulation.
Ancestor Lingtong had never thought that he would encounter Lie Tiandi's innate gift one day.
Lie Tiandi's innate talent was at the fourth level, and he had the characteristic of Duplication Suppression, which meant that he could duplicate with two pupils.
Above his head, the four eyes stared at Ancestor Lingtong. His eyes flashed and an indescribable pressure acted on Ancestor Lingtong's body. Ancestor Lingtong clenched his fists and struck out with the Bright Light Finger again, but it was useless. His eyes also stared at the top of his head. The opposite pressure collided with the descending pressure, causing the void to explode and sweep across the territory.
More than half of the territory distorted and boiled over. Countless stars exploded, causing howls of grief and despair.
At this moment, another pair of eyes flashed above their heads. Xu San and the others were dumbfounded as they watched the sky collapse and crush Ancestor Lingtong. This pressure caused the imprinter in front of them to retreat in horror. Their faces were pale and they didn't dare to approach.
Ancestor Lingtong unleashed her bloodline and mutated her body, but she still couldn't withstand the pressure.
The pressure came from his Dual Pupil Innate Skill. At this moment, he was bearing double the pressure from Lie Wudi's Four Pupil Innate Skill.
Puff
Ancestor Lingtong spat out blood and imprinted on the Blood Progenitor. His face was distorted, and his clothes were torn apart. His body was covered in blood, and his eyes were on the verge of exploding.
Everyone found it difficult to breathe. It was obvious that Ancestor Lingtong had reached his limit.
In the distance, Ancestor Eyeless appeared and shook his head with a sigh. It was over.
The higher one's innate skill, the worse it would be.
The stronger the origin tribulation, the more powerful the ancestor's tribulation was. Ancestor Lingtong's tribulation had actually drawn out the power of an ancient character from the Third Mainland. If he could survive it, he would definitely shock the universe and become a legend. However, he couldn't and had failed.
Xu San's face was ashen, and his fingernails dug into his flesh. Pass it, master, pass it. You have to pass it.
He Xiang bit her lip. She was already thinking about where she would go if Ancestor Lingtong failed the tribulation.
Even further away, Sixteenth Brother and the others were also thinking. From the current situation, Ancestor Lingtong was definitely going to lose. He glanced at Xu San with a cold glint in his eyes.
Xu San felt it, and a chill ran down his spine. He had always been sensitive to danger, and he subconsciously raised his gadget to contact Lu Yin. In front of him, the sky was being compressed, and countless spatial cracks snaked through it like giant pythons. Ancestor Lingtong seemed to be trying to split open the sky, trying to hold it up.
Xu San couldn't help but shout, "Master, make it through!"
"Xu San!" Ancestor Lingtong roared.
Xu San was stunned. He hadn't expected Ancestor Lingtong to call out his name at such a crucial moment. Was he that important?
He Xiang, Sixteenth Brother, and the rest looked at Xu San strangely. Could this guy be Ancestor Lingtong's illegitimate son? Why would he think of him at such a time?
"Xu San, look at me!" Ancestor Lingtong barked and turned to look at Xu San.
Xu San subconsciously met Ancestor Lingtong's gaze. He was incomparably familiar with this action. Ever since he had been accepted as a disciple, he had been cultivating his polycoria with Ancestor Lingtong's help. The cultivation method was to look at each other, and it could last for days, months, or even years.
After so many years, whenever he and Ancestor Lingtong looked at each other, their gazes would become exactly the same.
In an instant, the huge eye above his head suddenly stared at Xu San, and an infinite pressure descended, shrouding Xu San and He Xiang.
These people had no chance to react at all. Fortunately, Ancestor Wu Mu had moved them away. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ancestor Lingtong's eyes were bleeding as he stared at the four eyes above him. The four eyes stared at Ancestor Lingtong again, but no longer exerted a huge pressure, and the four eyes gradually dissipated.
The Origin Tribulation was over.
Ancestor Lingtong let out a long breath and closed his eyes, as if he was suppressing something.
In the distance, Xu San and the rest were still at a loss, not knowing what had happened.
Ancestor Wu Mu's face was extremely ugly, not because Ancestor Lingtong had succeeded, but because he had been used.
Ancestor Lingtong had actually thought of a way to teleport the Origin Tribulation, which was simply unbelievable.
The Origin Tribulation couldn't be avoided, nor could it be transferred, nor could it be blocked by external objects. But he had thought of a way. How did he do it?
There was something wrong with Xu San.
Ancestor Wu Mu looked at Xu San, thinking about something.
In the distance, the Sixteenth Brother and the rest rushed over and were very attentive. "Third Brother, are you alright?"
"Third Brother, it's great that you're alright. It's a blessing. Nothing must happen to Third Brother."
"Third Brother, although we've only been apart for a short moment, it's been an endless amount of time to me. Third Brother, you can't abandon me again."
…
Xu San didn't know what had happened, but the result was gratifying. Ancestor Lingtong had succeeded, and Xu San had once again become a powerful second generation, and not just any powerful second generation.
"Hahaha, how could Third Brother abandon you?
You're thinking too much, but Third Brother wants to talk to his wife. You're an eyesore, "Xu San said proudly.
The Sixteenth Brother flattered him. "We're the ones who are blind. Third Brother, Third Sister, take your time."
"Third Brother, Third Sister, take your time."
…
He Xiang was speechless and looked deeply at Xu San. This guy was still the same as before.
Following Ancestor Lingtong's successful tribulation, the Sixth Mainland gained another Cosmic Imprinter. Furthermore, he wasn't an ordinary Cosmic Imprinter, because when Ancestor Lingtong opened his eyes, his pupils changed. They became even more profound and terrifying.
Old Man Nong, Xue Gie, and the Sixth Mainland's experts all arrived to congratulate Ancestor Lingtong. Even Savage Archer God had come, which was unexpected.
Ancestor Lingtong hadn't expected Savage Archer God to come either, and when he saw him, his pupils shrank imperceptibly for a moment before returning to normal.
…
In the Ross Empire's stronghold, Lu Yin looked at the many materials in front of him that he had just disassembled. He couldn't recognize a single one of them, but that didn't matter. He kept a little of each material since they wouldn't be discovered anyway.
After disassembling a city's ancient artifacts, Lu Yin continued to roll his die. This time, he rolled four pips and entered the Timestop Space. It was time to cultivate.
In the Technocracy, Kui Luo had insisted that Lu Yin become an Emissary before telling him about the Lu family. Lu Yin couldn't wait to start cultivating.
The problem was that the Heavenflame Stone didn't have any flames, so he could only try to absorb star energy with his own ability.
After a while, Lu Yin opened his eyes with a helpless expression. The Heavenflame Stone didn't have any flames, so cultivating normally was very slow, even with the support of the Sirius Art.
The more stars one used with the Sirius Art, the faster one could absorb star energy. However, after reaching the fourth level of the Sirius Art, Lu Yin discovered that no matter how much star energy he absorbed, it was mostly used to maintain the stars' revolutions instead of absorbing it into his body. In other words, the Sirius Art's support for star energy absorption wasn't as exaggerated as he had imagined.
He had once guessed that if the Sirius Art's effects were the same as before, then the Sirius Sect's cultivation speed would be much faster. But now, it seemed like it wouldn't be that easy.
There was no such thing as an easy thing.
Since it was so difficult to increase his cultivation, then he might as well increase something else!
He raised his hand, and his die appeared. He spun it and rolled three pips.
The first time, one.
The second time, six pips. What a pity.
The third time, he rolled three pips. He took out the Philanthropist's Tear from his cosmic ring and placed it on the upper screen. This was the most potent poison he had obtained from the Gu King's City's Yi Pavilion, and it was also the most potent poison in the entire Divine Gu Dynasty. It surpassed even a Hellguard's poison, but because it was easy to detect, it wasn't as valuable as a Hellguard's poison.
It was said that the Philanthropist's Tear could poison a powerhouse with a power level of 700,000 to death. Lu Yin had several external items that could deal with such powerhouses, but he needed something better. Thus, the Philanthropist's Tear was his first choice.
Lu Yin's eyelids twitched as he watched the Philanthropist's Tear fall. Thirty million star essence had only been used once, so he continued.
Two times, three times, four times, five times … all the way until the sixth time.
The Philanthropist's Tear was upgraded six times, and when it fell for the sixth time, the originally nearly transparent Philanthropist's Tear began to distort. Lu Yin wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he vaguely saw a strange face smiling at him.
He suddenly felt a chill at the back of his head, and he stared at the Philanthropist's Tear. It was still transparent, but Lu Yin would never forget that scene.
This drop of poison had undergone a strange change.
