Lu Yin charged towards the building, and the stars moved with him.
The blurry figure blocked his path once more. "Move, and you'll die."
Lu Yin sneered. "In your dreams." He then took out the blood-stained robe he had obtained from the Burial Garden. The moment he touched it, the remaining death energy in his body was stirred up. Behind Lu Yin, the void surged and boiled as a figure appeared to replace the sky. It held a Gou Lian and slashed at the blurry figure.
The blurry figure was shocked. What kind of power was this?
A long blade appeared in front of him, and in that instant, the entire space changed. Lu Yin felt as if the blurry figure had become the ruler of the void, and his gaze landed on the blade. This feeling was similar to when the Inquisitor had battled with the God of Forgotten Ruins. This was the power of his inner world.
The blurry figure faced the Gou Lian's slash and slashed out with the blade.
There was a loud bang, and the blade shattered into pieces. The void distorted as a destructive force swept through the surroundings. All of the pillars were instantly shattered, and even the buildings in the distance were destroyed. The blood-stained robe in Lu Yin's hand also turned to dust. He took advantage of this opportunity to summon the Star Chessboard beneath his feet, and he moved past the blurry figure to appear within the building.
The blurry figure held the broken blade in disbelief. How could an Enlighter injure the inner world of a Half-Progenitor?
Could that figure be the legendary Grim Reaper?
Only the Grim Reaper had ever used a strange weapon like the Gou Lian.
The figure's gaze turned sinister. The Sirius Technique, the Grim Reaper's inheritance … I can't let any of them go. Kid, you can't escape!
Lu Yin recklessly charged into the building complex, which had been completely destroyed by the collision of their powers.
There was no one here. Lu Yin looked around, but there was not a single person in sight. There were still buildings in the distance that had not been affected, so he hurriedly rushed over.
When he reached the building that had not been affected, he still saw no one. Lu Yin looked into the distance. Could this be an abandoned city?
The blurry figure walked out and was not too far away from Lu Yin. "I have to say, you're truly amazing."
Lu Yin stared at the figure. Had he really used all of his methods, but had he still not been able to escape?
"Are you desperate?
Even someone with a power level of a million wouldn't be able to do anything to you, "the blurry figure said calmly with admiration." Unfortunately, you met me. "
"Who are you?" Lu Yin asked in a low voice.
"Hand over the inheritance of the Grim Reaper and the inheritance of Sirius, and I can fulfill one of your last wishes," the blurry figure said. He had become more talkative.
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes. "You're Xia Ji."
The blurry figure fell silent for a moment. Then, the blurry image on the surface of his body became clear. His face appeared in front of Lu Yin's eyes. It was Xia Ji.
Lu Yin felt bitter. "A dignified Half-Ancestor is actually attacking an Enlighter like me? Old man, you really think too highly of me."
Xia Ji sighed in admiration. "Since ancient times, there hasn't been an Enlighter who has been able to do what you've done. Even as a Half-Ancestor, I'm having trouble dealing with you."
"That's because you're forcing me to use Sirius, forcing me to reveal all my trump cards. Otherwise, it would be the same as trying to capture me, and I wouldn't even be able to retaliate."
Xia Ji calmly replied, "I already said that if you hand over the Sirius Technique and the Grim Reaper Legacy, I'll fulfill one of your final wishes."
"Aren't you afraid that Elder Chan and the others will find trouble with you if they find out?"
Xia Ji laughed. "Maybe in the past.
But you're Lu Xiaoxuan, and everyone in that region of space wants you dead. Who would find trouble with me because of you?
Perhaps I can use your head to exchange for something in that region of space. "
"You've been planning this ever since you found out that I was Lu Xiaoxuan, right?" Lu Yin asked.
Xia Ji replied, "I already said that there's no point in struggling. No one knows that you're here, and no one can save you. You don't even know where you are, so why struggle? Obediently hand over the inheritance, and I'll fulfill one of your final wishes. As long as you don't make things too difficult for me, I'll swear an oath."
Lu Yin laughed. "For the sake of the inheritance, you're willing to sacrifice your bottom line. You're even willing to swear an oath to a mere Enlighter like me."
Xia Ji clasped his hands behind his back. "If you don't speak, I won't let you die. I'll torture you here for ten thousand years and destroy the Great Eastern Alliance. I'll destroy all of your friends, family, and lovers. I'm a Half-Ancestor, so I can do it. No one can stop me."
Lu Yin clenched his fists, and his eyes were unprecedentedly cold and filled with killing intent.
"Hate me?
If I give you time, then even if I'm a Half-Ancestor, you might still be able to take revenge. Unfortunately, you don't have that time. I'll repeat myself: hand over the Sirius Art and the Death God's inheritance, and I'll fulfill one of your final wishes. Otherwise, everyone you like and value will die. Not a single one of them will escape. "Xia Ji threatened Lu Yin as if he was looking at a dead man.
Lu Yin felt bitter, and he raised his head with a look of despair. "I never thought that I'd end up like this. Cultivating in outer space and barely surviving, I still fell at your hands in the end."
"You're not innocent. Not every Enlighter is qualified enough for a Half-Ancestor to appear. Are you going to speak or not?" Xia Ji asked coldly.
Lu Yin closed his eyes, and after a while, he opened them again and looked at Xia Ji resolutely. "Will you really fulfill my final wishes?"
"Yes." There was a trace of excitement in Xia Ji's eyes. Lu Yin seemed to be wavering, and Xia Ji's goal was about to be achieved. Although he didn't seem to care much on the surface, the fact that he was personally taking action spoke volumes.
Xia Ji was very concerned, very concerned. The Sirius Art was related to Progenitor Chen, and the Death God's inheritance was like a legend. Lu Yin was the person closest to that legend, so whether it was the Sirius Art or the Death God's inheritance, Xia Ji had to obtain them both. Once he succeeded in cultivating them and broke through to the Progenitor realm, he would become the most terrifying Progenitor in history, and he might even surpass Progenitor Chen.
The more he thought about it, the more excited Xia Ji became. He stared at Lu Yin. "Do you have any last wishes?"
Lu Yin took a deep breath and hesitated.
"Speak!" Xia Ji barked.
Lu Yin's face twitched. "I- I want to leave behind a bloodline for the Lu family."
Xia Ji's brows rose. "Leave behind a bloodline?"
Lu Yin answered, "The Lu family was harmed by the Four Cardinal Scales, and I'm the only one alive. If I die, the entire Lu family will disappear, so I want to leave behind a bloodline for the Lu family."
Xia Ji frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
Lu Yin said, "This bloodline doesn't have to be surnamed Lu, but it can retain the Lu family's innate gift of the General Appointment Platform. Do you know what this means?"
Xia Ji was tempted. That was right, the Lu family's bloodline didn't have to be surnamed Lu, but rather Xia. This bloodline could retain the Lu family's innate gift of the General Appointment Platform, and it would allow the Xia family's branch to possess the platform in the future. Their strength would soar rapidly, and the General Appointment Platform was a terrifying innate gift.
Not only would he be able to obtain the Sirius Art and the Death God's inheritance, but he would also be able to obtain the Lu family's General Appointment Platform. With these inheritances, the Xia family's branch would be able to surpass the other side of the universe in the shortest amount of time.
The main branch would become the true master of the Xia family.
Xia Ji's eyes lit up as he looked at Lu Yin. This kid had truly submitted to his conditions. "I'll go find you a woman right now," he said as he turned to leave. Suddenly, he thought of something and wanted to knock Lu Yin out just in case. However, when he turned around, he saw a yellow praying mat. Xia Ji suddenly thought of something, and his face changed. "Stop!" he shouted.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Lu Yin had taken out his futon the moment Xia Ji was tempted by the General Appointment Platform, sat on it, and rang the blood-red bell.
The blood-red bell contained the power of the head inquisitor, and it crushed down like a giant hand.
Xia Ji roared, and his inner world tried to trap Lu Yin, but it collided with the blood-red bell's power. The bell shattered, and Lu Yin disappeared from Xia Ji's sight as he entered the Daosource Sect's ruins.
As he looked at the empty ground and the blood-red bell fragments, Xia Ji roared in rage. He had been tricked! He knew about the futon and the Daosource Sect's ruins, and Lu Yin would appear in this place in at most a month. However, during this time, Lu Yin had many ways to announce that he was the one who had taken action. Elder Chan, Elder Gong, and the Elysian Heavenly Master would definitely cause trouble for him.
He could not guarantee that those people would not be able to find this place.
Xia Ji clenched his fists. As a Half-Ancestor, he controlled everything, and he had never felt so powerless before. Even when he had schemed against the Cosmic Sea, he had ultimately succeeded due to various reasons. However, at this moment, he had actually miscalculated against an Enlighter.
This person was very cautious and had grasped the opportunity extremely well. He had advanced step by step, and in the end, he had managed to escape right in front of a Half-Ancestor. How hateful!
Xia Ji wanted to stay and wait for Lu Yin when he saw the various inheritances and opportunities that Lu Yin possessed, but the chances of that happening were slim.
"Brat, you're lucky this time. Next time, you won't be able to escape," Xia Ji muttered to himself with a sinister gaze before leaving.
…
In the ruins of the Daosource Sect, Lu Yin appeared on a futon plaza. He looked around and relaxed, as he had finally escaped. Facing a Half-Ancestor had been a huge pressure for him.
No one would believe that he had managed to escape from a Half-Ancestor, but he had still managed to do it.
He had thought of using his futon to escape the moment he had awakened, but he had never had the opportunity to do so. Even when Xia Ji had been poisoned by the Tears of Good Samaritan and disappeared for a period of time, Lu Yin had not used his futon to escape. This was because he was not sure if Xia Ji was secretly watching him. If he were Xia Ji, then he would definitely be secretly watching Lu Yin to eliminate any possibility of escape.
Lu Yin wanted to use his futon to escape while Xia Ji was not around, but he quickly discarded the possibility. He would rather use his futon to escape right in front of Xia Ji.
Reality proved that he had succeeded, but as he looked at the shattered blood-red bell in his hand, Lu Yin felt bitter. Such a good power vessel had been lost just like that.
When he thought about this, Lu Yin's gaze darkened, and he gritted his teeth. Xia Ji had brought him unprecedented losses. The Tears of Good Samaritan, his blood-stained robes, and the head referee's decree were all trump cards that Lu Yin could use to deal with a super powerhouse. However, they had all disappeared in Xia Ji's hands. Xia Ji would definitely repay this debt.
Right now, the most important thing was how to escape.
Xia Ji should not have stayed behind to wait for Lu Yin, as Xia Ji must have guessed that Lu Yin would think of a way to expose the fact that Xia Ji had captured Lu Yin. This was the only way Lu Yin could escape.
Lu Yin did not know where the place where he had been trapped was, and the only person who could expose him was Xia Ji.
Lu Yin stood up and had an idea.
