At this moment, whether it was Master Yuanshi or the Sea King, those who truly cared about Lu Yin had to retreat.
On the other side, Xu Qing and the rest retreated at the same time, not daring to approach.
As the range of the tribulation grew larger, everyone retreated further and further away.
"Why is it still expanding?
When I underwent my tribulation, it wasn't even half of this range, "someone exclaimed.
Elder Jiu Shen's eyes flickered. The range of this tribulation had already surpassed the range of his own tribulation by about a third, and it was still expanding.
The Celestial Demon was shocked. "The range is too large. How can it still be expanding?"
Xu Qing said, "This kid's innate gift is extraordinary, so his tribulation will definitely be different from others. Retreat."
Not long after, they stopped.
Qing Hua was shocked. "This range is too large."
Lan Xian's eyes flickered as she looked up. It was indeed too large, far surpassing the range of her own tribulation. Only the Three Ancestors' tribulation could compare.
Lu Yin was about to undergo his tribulation, but he was not in a good mood. His seal had not been broken, and the Sword King's attack had not been able to do so. However, the seal had disappeared.
Since it had not been broken, it meant that it would appear again. Would it appear after he successfully underwent his tribulation? Lu Yin was apprehensive.
Thunder boomed above his head, causing countless people to be dazed. At this moment, many people and beasts nearby fainted. This was the power of spiritual force.
"Retreat again!" the Sea King barked, and everyone continued to retreat. The spiritual force from the tribulation formed a storm that connected the two ends of the universe, forming a monster that was even larger than a Void Wanderer Ancestor. Lu Yin was right in the center.
Beside the spiritual force storm, thunder rumbled and echoed throughout the entire Northcastle Weave.
The Celestial Demon was shocked. "Materializing spiritual force is something that we Celestial Demons often experience when undergoing our tribulations. How did he experience it?"
Xu Qing solemnly replied, "Lu Yin's spiritual force is also supreme among his peers. Not even an Emissary from your Celestial Demon bloodline can defeat him."
The Celestial Demon could not refute this.
On the other side, the Second Nightking was not surprised, as Lu Yin was able to withstand a portion of his spiritual force bombardment. This was especially true during the battle at the Shengu Dynasty. Even though it had been a fake attack, its power had still not been weak. Forget about humans, even Celestial Beast Emissaries with a power level of 600,000 or even 700,000 might not have been able to withstand his attack. And yet, they had still been unable to deal with Lu Yin. This kid's spiritual force was terrifyingly powerful.
The spiritual force materialized and crashed down on Lu Yin's body. At the same time, the spiritual force storm wreaked havoc, attempting to tear Lu Yin to pieces.
He hadn't memorized the Primogenitor's Scripture yet, and this was only the beginning. His spiritual force had reached a power level of 600,000, while the lightning's destructive power was at most 700,000. It wasn't enough to pose a fatal threat to him.
Although his essence, energy, and spirit had not reached this level of battle prowess, under the protection of the Primogenitor Scripture, he had become a stubborn rock, allowing the storm to erode him. Although he was small, he was tenacious.
Boom
With a loud explosion, the lightning above took shape and turned into a bat that let out a sharp screech.
"Skydemon?"
Ling Qiu was shocked as she looked at the distant sky. The spiritual force materialized into a Skydemon that replaced the starry sky as it looked down at Lu Yin.
Skydemons were the masters of spiritual force, the rulers of the Astral Beast Domain, and the royalty of the Skydemon Empire. Any Skydemon that was born would feed on spiritual force.
When Skydemons were mentioned, everyone would think of spiritual force, energy, and spirit. They were rulers, and when spiritual force was mentioned, countless people would think of Skydemons as well.
The Skydemon royal could not reach the Second Nightking's power level and was about the same as Emperor Liu. However, with his terrifying spiritual force, he was able to stall the Second Nightking and become a huge killing machine. If not for the Second Nightking's existence, the Great Eastern Alliance would not have been able to last this long in this war.
The Origin Tribulation had manifested as a Skydemon, and it was clear that it valued Lu Yin greatly. It had sent its strongest spiritual force controller to deal with him.
Xu Qing and the other powerhouses from the Astral Beast Domain were shocked, and they subconsciously looked at the Skydemon royal.
The Skydemon royal frowned. A human undergoing the Origin Tribulation had actually manifested as a Skydemon. This proved that this human's spiritual force was extremely terrifying.
The Origin Tribulation did not rely on one's power level to suppress one's opponent. Otherwise, when one underwent the Origin Tribulation, an attack with a power level of a million would descend, and no one would be able to survive.
The power of the Origin Tribulation depended on the person undergoing it. One could think of the Origin Tribulation as a sentient lifeform that was trying to kill the person undergoing the tribulation. One could also think of the Origin Tribulation as a fixed sequence that could be triggered by different people.
The Origin Tribulation that was triggered could be a direct attack from an astral source, a battle technique that had once appeared in the Astral Source Universe, or even a lifeform that was perfectly replicated by the Origin Tribulation in an attempt to kill the person undergoing the tribulation.
No one knew what one would encounter during the Origin Tribulation.
Lu Yin had encountered a Skydemon at this moment. A Skydemon that had manifested spiritual force and lightning definitely existed in the past, and it might even exist now. The manifestation of the Origin Tribulation proved that it could kill Lu Yin.
"You should be happy that a human genius will be annihilated by your Skydemon bloodline," Feng Lin said indifferently.
The Skydemon royal's expression relaxed. She was right. Although a human undergoing the Origin Tribulation had attracted a Skydemon, which made him uncomfortable, he was still a Paragon of the same generation. The Skydemon royal's Origin Tribulation had manifested to kill this human, which was a good thing for the Skydemons.
Master Yuan and the others' expressions became even more solemn. A Skydemon was synonymous with invincible spiritual force. The Origin Tribulation had manifested a Skydemon to kill Lu Yin.
Above, the Skydemon took form. It was extremely lifelike, and it faced Lu Yin. It opened its mouth, and in an instant, the sky shattered. Countless people bled from their orifices as they howled in pain. They had retreated far away, but they were still affected, so they had no choice but to continue retreating.
Lu Yin faced the Skydemon's spiritual force attack head-on and frowned. The Origin Tribulation had manifested its power based on the strength he had displayed, and this Skydemon already had the destructive power to threaten his spiritual force. He raised his hand and tapped the void with his star energy. This was the Origin Opening Array, a sourcebox array that protected spiritual force.
The array blocked a portion of the Skydemon's spiritual force attack, and the rest was no longer a threat to Lu Yin.
However, a moment later, the spiritual force that had been wreaking havoc in outer space suddenly converged, forming a visible sphere above Lu Yin's head.
Lu Yin's expression changed. Not good! It's a Divine Explosion! This was the battle technique that Yao Xuan had used during the Sovereign Tournament. It was a spiritual force battle technique that was extremely terrifying.
The Sky Fey imperial male sneered. A divine explosion was the Sky Fey's most powerful attack. Lu Yin could block the spiritual energy storm, but he had to rely on his sourcebox array, which meant that he would not be able to block the divine explosion.
"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for cultivating your spiritual force. You've even cultivated it to such a high level that you've attracted a spiritual force tribulation that's comparable to the spiritual force tribulation of my Skydemon bloodline," the Skydemon imperial muttered to himself. There was one thing that he did not mention, which was that even if a Skydemon was undergoing an Origin Tribulation, they would not encounter such a terrifying spiritual force attack. Otherwise, who would be able to survive?
From the power of the Origin Tribulation, it could be determined that Lu Yin's spiritual force cultivation had surpassed that of a Skydemon powerhouse at the same level as him. In fact, it might even surpass those who had already undergone their tribulation and become Emissaries.
The Skydemons could admit that they had been defeated, but they would never admit that they had lost to a human. This person had to die under the spiritual force attack.
Lu Yin did not hold back against the Skydemon battle technique, and he immediately recited the Primogenitor's Scripture. No matter how strong it was, he would remain as immovable as a mountain.
Boom!
The spiritual force exploded, and spiritual force swept out in all directions. It shattered the heavens and caused ripples to spread throughout the entire Northcastle Weave.
The Second Nightking appeared in front of the Great Eastern Alliance's fleet and separated himself from the spiritual force attack. Across from him, the Skydemon imperial did the same.
The spiritual force explosion's power was enough to turn most of the people on the battlefield into idiots. Even Emissaries like the elders could not withstand it.
Was this an Origin Tribulation?
The Second Nightking could not believe it. Whose Origin Tribulation was this terrifying?
It did not even give anyone a chance to survive.
Ya Mavis stared at Lu Yin and recalled the Mavis family's records. There were countless examples of humans undergoing their Origin Tribulation, but none of them had ever been recorded of someone encountering such a powerful tribulation right from the start.
She recalled the final battle of the Sovereign Tournament and Lu Yin's Grim Reaper Transformation. If he had truly obtained the Grim Reaper's inheritance, then this kind of Origin Tribulation would not be surprising.
In outer space, where everyone's gazes met, peace was restored. The Origin Tribulation vortex was still there, and below it, Lu Yin was in a rather sorry state. However, his expression was normal, as he had withstood it.
He had withstood the spiritual force explosion that the Second Nightking and the others had to protect.
The Skydemon imperial's pupils shrank. "Impossible."
Xu Qing's expression was extremely ugly, as he also felt that this was impossible. How could Lu Yin have withstood it?
Even he had been shocked by the spiritual force's might, and it was enough to make a powerhouse with a power level of 800,000 feel apprehensive. How could it not deal with an Enlighter?
This did not make any sense.
Lu Yin's own strength could not withstand an attack with a power level of 800,000, but his spiritual force was an exception. With the Primogenitor's Scripture, he might be able to withstand an even stronger spiritual force attack.
"Success," the Mountain God said in a dull voice, clearly disappointed. Lu Yin had not died, and the war had continued. The Innerverse was still under the rule of the Great Eastern Alliance.
Not too far away, the Spirit Ancestor's voice. "It's not over yet."
The Mountain God was shocked. It's not over?
How is this possible?
The Mountain God was certain that even with his current strength, he would not have been able to withstand that spiritual force explosion. How could it not be over yet?
Lu Yin looked up at the sky; this was just the beginning. Just how terrifying would his Origin Tribulation be?
Kui Luo had said that Bai Xianer's Origin Tribulation had shaken the entire Astral Tree Domain and attracted Progenitors, causing the Eternals to launch a large-scale attack. Then, what about Lu Yin?
Would he be any worse than Bai Xianer?
Or even more terrifying than Bai Xianer?
He had no idea.
The Origin Tribulation was very calm, as if it was brewing. This caused the Sea King and the others' hearts to sink. They all knew that the Origin Tribulation was not afraid of causing a huge commotion, but rather of remaining silent. The quieter it was, the more terrifying the tribulation would be, as it was searching for a power that could kill the person undergoing the tribulation.
"Look, it's expanding!" someone exclaimed, his voice filled with panic.
Everyone looked up and saw that the Origin Tribulation vortex was expanding.
Emperor Liu's expression changed. "Retreat! Retreat again! Retreat immediately!"
Across from them, countless astral beasts retreated in fear. Compared to humans, they were more sensitive to danger.
Guru Qing Hua was shocked. "I've never heard of an Origin Tribulation expanding during a tribulation."
Lan Xian sighed. "There have been, but it's extremely rare. The Blood Ancestor was one such example."
Guru Qing Hua was shocked. "The Origin Tribulation expands during the Blood Ancestor's tribulation?"
Lan Xian replied, "He said so himself. I don't know either. Retreat." Her body then vanished as she retreated.
