Suddenly, a boundless pressure descended upon Lu Yin, as if the heavens and earth were closing in on him. Lu Yin's body trembled, and his skin cracked open. The terrifying pressure almost caused him to cough up blood. The General Appointment Platform disappeared, and Bai Shaohong appeared. The Cang Universe was instantly destroyed by the pressure.
Lu Yin had never experienced such pressure before, and it felt as if the heavens and earth were fusing together. He clenched his fists and activated his battle force imprint in an attempt to break free, but his skin continued to crack and blood splattered everywhere. Behind him, the Acalanatha Heavenly King's image roared. It took some effort to break free, but the pressure suddenly increased once more.
In the outside world, countless people looked on in shock. Inside the Heaven and Earth Furnace, the starry sky had collapsed, and everything had returned to its original state. Only Lu Yin remained, as if he was the first life in the world, and he was vainly trying to push open the furnace.
How difficult was it to create a new world?
Even though Lu Yin's entire body was bathed in blood, he had no choice but to recite the Primogenitor's Scripture. The hazy voice traveled across the Primordial Era, allowing him to relax a little. However, the Heaven and Earth Furnace's pressure did not decrease. In fact, it even increased.
At this moment, Lu Yin finally understood why the Origin Tribulation had chosen Progenitor Chen, who had yet to break through to become an Emissary. Progenitor Chen was simply invincible.
Lu Yin believed that his strength was unparalleled, and as an Enlighter, he was able to challenge an Emissary with a power level of over 700,000, which was a rare feat since ancient times. However, Progenitor Chen was the same.
Blood flowed along the surface of his body, extending into the starry sky. He looked extremely miserable.
In the west, Lan Xian was shocked, and she slowly said, "Progenitor Nan was refined by Progenitor Chen in front of the Sixth Mainland's Daosource Sect's mountain gate with his Heaven and Earth Furnace. Countless cultivators from the Sixth Mainland watched on, but they were powerless to do anything. It was an ultimate tragedy for them to watch as their Progenitor was refined."
Qing Hua Shangren could sense that if the Martial Ancestor or the Blood Ancestor were refined now, it would be an unimaginable disaster for the Sixth Mainland.
The Heaven and Earth Furnace was not sealed, and everyone could clearly see what was going on. It was precisely because of this that it was even more cruel and sorrowful. A dignified Progenitor had been refined into ash right in front of everyone's eyes, and it had even happened right in front of the Sixth Mainland's Daosource Sect's mountain gate. To the Sixth Mainland, this was a great humiliation. What exactly had happened back then?
For Ancestor Chen to go to such extremes?
Regardless of the reason behind Progenitor Chen's actions, as an enemy, having his existence erased by the Sixth Mainland was an honor. As for Progenitor Nan, having his existence erased was a disgrace.
Within the Heaven and Earth Furnace, Lu Yin's blood splattered across the heavens as he felt waves of powerlessness wash over him. Even the visualization of the Acalanatha Heavenly King Elephant was unstable. Helpless, Lu Yin's eyes transformed into runes, and he entered the Realm of Knowing and Denying.
In an instant, all the pressure disappeared. It wasn't that he had broken the Heaven and Earth Smelt, but that he had borrowed the power of the Knowing Denial State to temporarily make himself invincible, causing the pressure of the Heaven and Earth Smelt to not appear.
However, the Knowing Denial state could not be maintained for long. The Scripture of Eon Evolution was a cultivation technique and could not be used indefinitely.
Outside the Heaven and Earth Smelt, there should have been three doppelgangers of Ancestor Chen. However, there were now seven of them. No, including the last one that appeared, there were eight of them.
Eight of Progenitor Chen's avatars appeared and faced Lu Yin.
Lu Yin stared at Progenitor Chen's clone for a long time before he slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The more he fought with Progenitor Chen, the more powerless he felt.
It had always been said that Ancestor Chen was invincible, and everyone looked up to him. But in their hearts, they all hoped to fight with Ancestor Chen and see just how invincible he was.
Only by truly fighting Progenitor Chen would one be able to experience that kind of helplessness.
The spectators all felt despair, as this battle was enough to make powerhouses like the Second Nightking hold their breaths.
Even if Lu Yin had endless opportunities, he had basically used all of his trump cards. When he thought of this, he smiled. "How carefree, Progenitor Chen. I really hope that I can fight with the real you. There'll be a chance in the future." After saying this, his body gradually dried up, and his skin dried up.
Everything will move in the opposite direction when pushed to the extreme.
Everything will move in the opposite direction when pushed to the extreme. This was a very mystical technique. After cultivating it, one's body would completely dry up, and if one was attacked, one's body would recover. The stronger the attack, the faster the recovery. At the same time, one could also accumulate strength.
In the past, when Lu Yin had obtained this technique, he had not paid much attention to it. Progenitor Ku had not been particularly outstanding, and although he was a Progenitor, his presence had been very weak. The Tree Astral Realm was within the Sovereign Realm, and Progenitor Ku's Withering Glory Domain was also located in the inner region. Lu Yin remembered someone saying that the more powerful a Progenitor was, the closer they were to the outer region.
At that time, Lu Yin had subconsciously believed that Progenitor Ku was not as strong as other Progenitors.
However, as time passed, he realized that he had been wrong. Everything will move in the opposite direction when pushed to the extreme. This technique allowed him to heal the injuries caused by Wang Si, and it also allowed him to neutralize the Eternals' poison. In particular, the maiden had mentioned that Progenitor Ku was actually one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, and he controlled the power of time.
This gave Lu Yin an unlimited amount of anticipation for Everything will move in the opposite direction when pushed to the extreme. This technique had been recorded in the Spirit Void Temple and placed together with the Secret Symbol of Withering. At first, Lu Yin had thought that it was useless, but it had turned out to be the most precious item, far surpassing the Secret Symbol of Withering.
Lu Yin was glad that he had learned that Everything will move in the opposite direction when pushed to the extreme. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult for him to resist this furnace.
The furnace's pressure was so great that it was difficult for him to endure, but it was not enough to immediately surpass his limit. This was the perfect example of Everything will move in the opposite direction when pushed to the extreme.
In the outside world, countless people watched as Lu Yin suddenly ignored the furnace's pressure and dried up his body. They did not know what he was doing.
Progenitor Chen was known by everyone, and countless people looked up to him. However, Progenitor Ku's presence was truly weak, so weak that even Lan Xian had never heard of him from the Blood Ancestor.
No one knew what Lu Yin was doing.
When his body completely dried up, Lu Yin's Knowing Nothing faded away, and the boundless pressure appeared once more.
The moment the pressure appeared, Lu Yin's dried up body suddenly recovered by nearly half. He hurriedly used Everything will move in the opposite direction and continued to dry up. He repeated this process over and over again, and the pressure allowed him to recover while he himself dried up. He continuously recovered, dried up, recovered, and dried up again.
No one knew what Lu Yin was doing, and even Lan Xian, a Half-Progenitor, could not understand what was happening.
Although she could not understand what Lu Yin was doing, it did not stop her from being shocked.
The Heaven and Earth Furnace's legends were terrifying, but Lu Yin's current actions were just as exaggerated. He had directly faced the furnace, which was an innate gift that could refine a Progenitor. Back then, Progenitor Chen and Progenitor Nan had both been Progenitors, but Progenitor Nan had been forcefully refined. Now, Progenitor Chen was an Enlighter, and Lu Yin was also an Enlighter, but Lu Yin had actually withstood the Heaven and Earth Furnace's pressure.
This scene greatly stimulated Lan Xian. "Is there really someone who can face Progenitor Chen head-on?"
One day, two days, three days … Seven days passed, and the same scene was repeated within the Heaven and Earth Furnace, as if there would never be an end.
On the ninth day, the void distorted, and the Heaven and Earth Furnace dissipated. Even Progenitor Chen could not maintain his innate gift for very long.
Everyone stared at Lu Yin, who was still seated cross-legged. His body was still dried-up. What was going on?
He couldn't have died, right?
Bang!
Progenitor Chen did not hold back. The giant's avatar, Sengoku, burned the void and punched Lu Yin, sending him flying. Following that, a black line appeared from the void and bound Lu Yin. Wang family's secret technique, Forbidden.
The Xia family's Three Styles of Blade Intent, Sirius Art. Attack after attack descended, and all of them landed on Lu Yin's body. Lu Yin was like a punching bag as he was beaten up by Progenitor Chen's avatar.
Everyone had complicated expressions. Had he given up?
Lan Xian had a strange expression. No, this kid's body was recovering. Every time he was attacked, his body would recover a bit. What was going on?
What was going on?
What had he learned?
Lu Yin looked miserable, and his entire body was covered in blood. Although his skin was dry, there were still signs of cracking.
He was being beaten up by Progenitor Chen's avatar without being able to retaliate. This scene caused many to despair.
However, only a few people could clearly see that even though he was being beaten up, his body was not injured at all. It was very strange.
Gradually, Lu Yin's body miraculously recovered. His eyes suddenly opened, and a terrifying aura swept out in all directions, forcing Progenitor Chen's eight avatars back.
Progenitor Chen's eight avatars suddenly fused together, and their star energy transformed into a blade. He slashed out, using all of his avatars' combined power to unleash the Three Styles of Blade Intent.
Lu Yin's eyes gleamed with excitement. He lifted his foot and charged forward. There were no fancy movements, just a punch that met the attack head-on and shattered the blade intent. He faced Progenitor Chen and punched out. His body passed through Progenitor Chen and stopped a thousand meters away. He loosened his grip. "It's over."
Behind him, Progenitor Chen's body slowly disappeared, transforming into mottled lightning that floated up and merged into his origin tribulation.
Everyone watched this scene in shock. Had Lu Yin won?
Lu Yin had defeated Progenitor Chen?
No one had expected the situation to suddenly reverse, and Lu Yin had actually defeated Progenitor Chen. No one could understand what had just happened.
Lu Yin let out a long breath. When things reached an extreme, they would eventually develop in the opposite direction. He had been suppressed in the furnace for nine days, and his accumulated strength had been constantly gathering. He had finally released all of it, and that single punch had been enough to defeat Progenitor Chen.
He turned around and looked in the direction that Progenitor Chen had disappeared with a solemn expression. Progenitor Chen was indeed unequaled. Only one person in the same realm could fight against him.
However, Lu Yin frowned. Progenitor Chen had eight avatars, which meant that he had nine avatars. Then, where was his ninth avatar?
Why hadn't it appeared?
Lu Yin had probably not been able to make it in time. That punch of his had accumulated too much strength, and it was equivalent to Progenitor Chen's Heaven and Earth Furnace helping him complete his ultimate attack. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult to end this battle, and he would have had to rely on the Reaper Transformation in the end.
When he thought about this, Lu Yin laughed. He had never thought that Progenitor Chen would be the one to help him complete his strongest attack. He was really curious as to what kind of power Progenitor Chen's ninth avatar would possess.
Progenitor Chen represented the Xia family, and Lu Yin represented the Lu family. The Lu family had always suppressed the Xia family, but Progenitor Chen was different. He was a genius, and even during the era of the Daosource Sect, he had dominated two mountains and one ocean in the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. He had been unrivaled throughout the universe, and no one in the Lu family had been able to suppress Progenitor Chen in that generation.
Lu Yin had finally defeated Progenitor Chen in a battle that had transcended time. This had shocked everyone, and even Half-Ancestor Lan Xian looked at Lu Yin in disbelief.
Progenitor Chen's various displays of power were unfathomable, and Lu Yin was even more unfathomable.
She remembered that the Blood Ancestor had once said that there had only been one Progenitor Chen since ancient times. Who could defeat Progenitor Chen?
And now, this person had appeared. Even if he had only been an Enlighter, who could predict the future?
"This really is the most despairing Origin Tribulation." Someone sighed, but no one refuted this statement. No matter who it was, encountering Progenitor Chen during their Origin Tribulation was unlucky. However, this also proved that Progenitor Chen was powerful, and not just anyone was qualified to make Progenitor Chen take action.
"It's over. Lu Yin has successfully passed his Origin Tribulation, and I wonder what kind of power level he'll have now." Elder He smiled and sighed in relief.
Ling Qiu smiled bitterly, as she had never expected that Lu Yin would be able to overcome such an Origin Tribulation and defeat Progenitor Chen. Lu Yin would probably be the next Progenitor Chen. If Lu Yin became a Progenitor, then joining the Great Eastern Alliance might not be a bad choice.
