The others stared blankly at Lu Yin as he continued to absorb the astral sources. One incense stick of time, two incense sticks of time, three incense sticks of time, four incense sticks of time passed, and the Astral Qi whirlpool in the Shang Hui Pass was about the same size as the one in Lu Yin's chest. The Astral Qi whirlpool in the Origin Tribulation gradually became smaller. Then, Lu Yin pulled out a wisp of black and white mist to seal the passage between the middle finger and Shang Hui Pass. Immediately, the Astral Qi whirlpool grew larger and gathered towards the middle finger pass.
Lu Yin was excited as he continuously experienced the changes in his body.
The others felt as if their worldview had been shattered. Again?
Lu Yin's tribulation had refreshed everyone's understanding of him, including Lan Xian, a Half-Ancestor.
This was the first time they realized that the Origin Tribulation could be so despairing. It turned out that astral sources could be absorbed in such a way, and for such a long time.
Another four incense sticks' worth of time passed, and Lu Yin repeated the same trick. He once again drew in the black and white fog, sealing off the passageway between the lower and middle finger stages as he continued to absorb astralsources.
Lu Yin was overjoyed. Everyone stared blankly at him, at the miracle he had created. Nobody noticed that the tribulation origin vortex above him was boiling and vibrating. It then began to expand, expand, expand …
Then, a shrill cry rang out, "Quick, retreat! Retreat! The Origin Tribulation above!"
Everyone raised their heads, their expressions changing drastically. Unknowingly, the Origin Tribulation vortex had already reached the top of their heads and was still expanding.
Everyone was aghast, and their scalps went numb. At this moment, whether it was the Astral Beast Domain, the Great Eastern Alliance, or even Lan Xian, all of them felt their scalps go numb. They quickly retreated, and no one dared to approach.
Countless people cursed. It was clearly over, but an Origin Tribulation had been sucked out. From the looks of it, even the Origin Tribulation was unhappy. Too much Astral Source had been sucked out, and it was unbearable.
Lu Yin saw it as well, and his eyelids twitched. He was about to curse out loud. Origin tribulation?
Where did it come from?
Are you done yet?
Wasn't it just absorbing some Stellar Source?
"Lu Yin, end this quickly!" the Sea King shouted as he glared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin opened his mouth, as he did not want it to end. The astral origin cyclone for the next breakthrough had already formed, and he had a premonition that if he missed this opportunity, there would not be another one in the future. There was only one chance to break through an Emissary's Origin Tribulation, and the next time he encountered such a tribulation would be when he broke through to a power level of a million.
Lu Yin gritted his teeth and slowed down the speed at which he was absorbing the astralsource. The stream of astralsource continued to shrink, and the vortex slowed down as well. However, it did not disappear.
"All of you, retreat!" Lu Yin shouted. He couldn't avoid it, and the vortex didn't shrink. Instead, it continued to expand, though its speed had decreased. Soon, the Origin Tribulation would descend again, and even if he stopped absorbing astralsources, the tribulation would still descend.
Damn it, if he had known this would happen, he would not have absorbed the astral source for the next breakthrough. The Origin Tribulation vortex was so big that it made him panic. He did not even know what would appear, so how could he pass it?
No one wanted to face the Origin Tribulation this time. It was too big. There was no record of an Origin Tribulation this big. It was so big that even Qing Hua Shangren panicked. Even his Origin Tribulation with a battle prowess of one million was not this big. What on earth did this brat do?
How could everything be recorded in the history books?
Xu Qing was overjoyed. "Everyone, retreat! This kid will die today! Hahahaha!"
The imperial Celestial Beast did not say a word and simply fled. If he was implicated, then even ten lives would not be enough. Would another Progenitor appear?
In the west, Lan Xian was shocked and shook her head. "Being too talented is also a sin. How did he absorb so much astralsources?"
No one knew how Lu Yin had done it.
Perhaps he was the first person to do so since the beginning of time. He had used the Death God's power to isolate and seal off astralsources. These were two completely different cultivation methods.
But now, he was getting more and more panicked. He looked at the endless Origin Tribulation vortex above his head and vaguely heard a roar. Was the Astral Source Universe roaring?
At this moment, not only in Northcastle Weave, but in the entire Outerverse, the star energy was boiling. It even spread to the Innerverse, the Cosmic Sea, and the Neoverse.
Elder Chan, Elder Gong, and the other Half-Progenitors all looked towards the north with shocked expressions. The changes in the Astral Source Universe were coming from the north.
In the Astral Beast Domain, Skymender Imperial Tutor opened his eyes and looked towards the northwest with a strange expression.
The changes in the Astral Source Universe attracted the attention of countless powerhouses. Even the Blood Progenitor and Martial Progenitor, who were standing guard outside the horizontal black hole, were startled and looked towards the Outerverse of the Fifth Mainland. "What's going on?
The Astral Source Universe is shaking. Is a Progenitor being born? "
"It doesn't seem like it. It's more like the changes are caused by the boiling of the astralsources. Who can make the astralsources boil?"
"Let me see."
…
In Northcastle Weave, above Lu Yin's head, the Origin Tribulation vortex was shaking even more violently. The unfathomable Origin Tribulation produced a terrifying aura that made Lu Yin's face twitch. How could he survive it?
How could he survive it?
He could not. He did not even dare to use the Scripture of Eon Evolution to take a look at the Origin Tribulation vortex. It was impossible for him to survive it with his own strength.
It's over. I've gone too far. Lu Yin looked around helplessly. Master, perhaps only Mister Mu could save him, but where was he?
Boom!
There was a tremor, and Lu Yin's ears bled. Just a single sound had injured him; this was not an Envoy's Origin Tribulation.
The aura of the Origin Tribulation made Lu Yin feel like he was facing a Progenitor.
Everyone retreated until they could no longer see anything.
The Origin Tribulation vortex finally stopped shaking, and then a boundless thunderbolt appeared in the dark dome. It was unknown what color it was, but it seemed to have color. It replaced everything that could be seen with the naked eye as it descended, as if the heavens were sending down divine punishment.
Everyone who saw it felt fear from the bottom of their hearts, including Half-Ancestor Lan Xian. She did not know how powerful that thunderbolt was, but it had a supreme majesty to it. Even when facing the Martial Ancestor or the Blood Ancestor, she had not felt such an urge to worship it.
Lu Yin's pupils shrank, and he took out his futon to hide in the Daosource Sect's ruins, but it was useless. The futon turned to ash the moment it appeared, and Lu Yin's face paled. He did not care anymore, and he took out the corpse he had obtained from the Burial Garden from his cosmic ring. He curled up under the corpse and used it to cover his head.
There was a loud boom, and Lu Yin's brain fainted as he spat out a mouthful of blood. His body was pressed into the depths of space, and a strand of thunderbolt extended along the corpse, causing Lu Yin's arm to feel a stabbing pain.
That instant felt like an eternity to Lu Yin.
The thunderbolt disappeared, and there was only one strike. Above him, the Origin Tribulation vortex rapidly shrank until it completely disappeared. It did not give Lu Yin a chance to react, as if it was afraid that Lu Yin would absorb the astral source again.
In the distance, everyone watched as the Origin Tribulation vortex disappeared and the heavens returned to normal. For a moment, no one dared to approach Lu Yin.
Lu Yin hid under the corpse, and his right arm had completely lost all feeling. The imprint of the thunderbolt was clearly visible on his arm. He glanced over the corpse and looked up. Had the Origin Tribulation vortex disappeared?
When he saw that the heavens had returned to normal, Lu Yin heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at the corpse and was shocked to see that it had not been injured. His eyes flashed, and he hurriedly put the corpse away.
At that moment, an illusory tree appeared behind him.
This was the abnormal phenomenon of a breakthrough.
When he had broken through to the Explorer and Hunter realm, he had also experienced this phenomenon.
However, compared to before, the tree was much more realistic, and it quickly spread out. Its range grew larger and larger until it reached Frostwave Weave and Northcastle Weave, and then it continued to spread.
Master Yuan and the others were stunned. What was this?
No matter what Lu Yin did now, they would not find it strange anymore. Even the Origin Tribulation had been forcefully sucked out. What could be more shocking than this?
In the west, Lan Xian's eyes shone. "This is a phenomenon. Lu Yin has successfully broken through."
Guru Qing Hua was astonished. "How is that possible? How did he survive the Origin Tribulation?"
No one believed that Lu Yin could survive, but this phenomenon had clearly not been the Origin Tribulation.
At that moment, a vast power descended. Lan Xian looked up and her body trembled. "The Blood Progenitor."
A Progenitor's power swept past, causing everyone to tremble.
The Second Nightking, Elder Jiu Shen, and the others' expressions changed. Who was this Progenitor's power?
Was it the Martial Progenitor or the Blood Progenitor?
A Progenitor's power was supreme, and everyone could sense it.
Lu Yin also sensed the Progenitor's power, and he was shocked. Only two Progenitors had appeared here, either the Martial Progenitor or the Blood Progenitor. He had just survived the Origin Tribulation, but such a grand phenomenon had appeared. He was afraid that this Progenitor would attack him and try to kill him.
The giant tree's phenomenon continued to expand until it covered several weaves, far surpassing the area when Lu Yin had first broken through to the Hunter realm. Its branches drooped down and emitted a mystical light. Strange objects were born one after another, as if they were being created.
This time, the objects hanging from the branches were even clearer than before, and it seemed as if they could be plucked. They looked like fruits of various shapes.
The giant tree's phenomenon distorted the starry sky, and an even stranger scene appeared. The void overlapped, revealing an even larger tree that covered the entire universe. It was the Mother Tree.
Lu Yin's jaw dropped. Mu … Mother Tree?
At this moment, everyone who saw the Mother Tree was stunned. Even Half-Ancestor Lan Xian was stunned, as she recognized the Mother Tree. The ancient texts had recorded that human civilization's great tree. How could it appear here?
In the Astral Tree Domain, the Mother Tree swayed when Lu Yin's giant tree phenomenon appeared. To the north, an overlapping void appeared, and the scene of Lu Yin and the giant tree appeared.
At that moment, Lu Yin saw the Mother Tree and the Topmost Realm. In the Astral Tree Domain, countless people in the Topmost Realm saw Lu Yin as well.
Trees overlapped with each other in the void.
In Dragon Mountain, Patriarch Long Ke looked to the north and saw Lu Yin. He was shocked. How could that brat?
How could he cause the Mother Tree to tremble and overlap the void?
Even if he was a direct descendant of the Lu family, Lu Xiaoxuan, it was impossible for him to do such a thing.
Ni Huang walked out, her eyes filled with killing intent. She stared at Lu Yin as if she wanted to swallow him whole. "This brat must have broken through to Origin Tribulation and produced a phenomenon. His innate talent is extraordinary, and he caused the Mother Tree to tremble. It's truly terrifying. Unfortunately, he's not a member of the White Dragon Clan, and he's even shamed us.
Below the Prison Dragon on Shenwu Plane, Xia Xing's eyes flickered as he looked to the north. Not far away, Xia Taili's mouth was agape in disbelief. She had never seen such a scene before. The Mother Tree could still tremble?
Was that shadow real or fake?
What had Long Qi done?
No, it was Lu Xiaoxuan.
Luo Zhong's lips curled up. "How astonishing. Brother Lu, we'll meet again soon." He was Xia Luo, and he had joined Shenwu Plane under the alias of Luo Zhong.
