There was also something else that Elder Chan did not know. Lu Yin's total astral source exceeded their knowledge because he had four Astral Cyclones.
When he thought about this, he felt a headache coming on. Although he didn't necessarily need all four of them to break through, just the astral source cyclone in his chest alone would require far more astral source than others. In terms of star energy, it would require two hundred times more astral source.
In other words, if he wanted to reach the next tribulation, he would need two hundred ordinary Envoys to absorb astral source. This was astral source, not star energy. Just thinking about it made his scalp go numb.
Lu Yin had been proud of his four Astral Cyclones because he had far more astral source than others, but now, he felt a chill run through his body from head to toe.
He felt like the second tribulation was getting further and further away from him, to the point where he could no longer see it.
"It seems like you haven't thought about this yet. The amount of astral source you need for the second, third, and sixth tribulations is unimaginable. Next, you need to find a way to increase your survival time. I will order the Daynight clan's Frozen Immortal Space to be sealed. The Frozen Immortal Pool there can help you," Elder Chan said.
Lu Yin did not understand. "Senior, why are you helping me?"
Elder Chan sighed. "Not everyone is willing to take over this war and treat ordinary people as humans. Regardless of whether you are Lu Xiaoxuan or Lu Yin, once you take over the war against the Astral Beast Domain, you will be a member of the Fifth Mainland. Cultivate well and don't be impatient."
Lu Yin had thought that Elder Chan's attitude towards him had changed because of his tribulation, but now it seemed like that was not the case. Although his tribulation had been shocking and his strength had increased by an absurd amount, it would be extremely difficult for him to break through. Even Lu Yin himself did not see any hope of breaking through, let alone others.
People with extraordinary innate gifts would be sought after and protected by countless people, but it was the exact opposite if one's innate gifts were too high to bear.
Perhaps Xu Qing was mocking him right now, mocking his gloomy future.
Was there really no way to take advantage of the situation?
Lu Yin put down his gadget and rubbed his cosmic ring to take out some astral source fluid. He did not know how much astral source fluid was stored in the Cosmic Tree Scale, but he suddenly felt like going there again.
Beep beep beep beep!
His gadget beeped again as more and more people learned about Lu Yin's tribulation. There were congratulatory messages, exclamations, and flattery.
Soon after, Highsage Leon contacted Lu Yin with an irritable tone. He declared that he wanted to fight Lu Yin and test his strength against Progenitor Chen, which made Lu Yin smile wryly.
Big Sis and the others, the directors of the Hall of Honor, Astral-10's mentors, Mu En, and even Shamrock Enterprises' Leaf King all congratulated him.
Lu Yin was annoyed, but anyone who could find out about his Origin Tribulation in such a short period of time had to have an extraordinary status. They either had a good relationship with him or had an extremely high status, so it would not be good for him to block them.
Hmm?
Lu Yin stared at his gadget in shock. This time, he was being contacted by an unknown number. With his gadget's current level, he couldn't connect to most unknown numbers.
"How did you defeat Progenitor Chen?"
The voice was terrifyingly low.
Lu Yin recognized this voice; it was Xia Ji on the other end of the line.
"No matter what cultivation level, Progenitor Chen is invincible. What makes you think you can defeat him?"
Xia Ji's voice was low. It was clear that he was suppressing his anger. He was filled with disbelief, as if his faith had been shattered.
Lu Yin's expression turned cold. "You don't believe me, or you don't?
Are you willing to believe me? "
Xia Ji barked, "Progenitor Chen created the Sirius Technique, and he has an inherited blade intent and a secret technique. He can transform into a giant and use the Warring States Technique. He can even reverse time and use his life force to recover. How did you win?"
"Although you're from the Xia family, you've learned the Wang family's Meditative Oblivion Technique and a secret technique. How did you win?
The Heaven and Earth Furnace's innate gift can refine a Progenitor. How did you survive?
Brat, you're not even fighting Progenitor Chen when he was a peak Enlighter. You can't possibly defeat Progenitor Chen, who's in the same realm as you. Impossible. "
Lu Yin arrogantly replied, "I also have the Sirius Technique, and I have ten thousand stars revolving around me. I also know several sourcebox arrays and secret techniques. I also have the Emptiness Palm, and I can see the Acalanatha King's Image. I can also use my Lu family's General Appointment Platform, and I also learned the Talisman Ancestor's Aeon Evolution Scripture. I also know an unparalleled healing technique and the Reaper's Transformation. Why can't I defeat Progenitor Chen? I've even injured a half-ancestor like you before."
"You're relying on external items!" Xia Ji retorted.
Lu Yin laughed. "It looks like Progenitor Chen holds a very high position in your heart. Shattering his legend of invincibility is the same as shattering your faith. Xia Ji, I thought that you were a formidable person, but I didn't expect your heart to be so weak. What a pleasant surprise! Not only did you break through the Origin Tribulation to become an Emissary, but you've also created an obstacle that you can never break through. You will never become a Progenitor."
"Brat, you're boasting shamelessly." Xia Ji's tone was icy.
Progenitors could change the heavens and the earth, and they had their own magnanimity. Because Progenitor Chen had been defeated, Xia Ji had clearly placed his faith in Progenitor Chen. He believed that if Progenitor Chen was invincible, then he would be invincible as well. He wanted to become the second Progenitor Chen, but now that Progenitor Chen had been defeated, Xia Ji's faith had been shattered.
It was as if Xia Ji had violated the oath in his heart. With a flaw in his heart, how could he become a Progenitor?
There were strong Progenitors and weak Progenitors, but every Progenitor had their own beliefs, regardless of whether they were right or wrong.
Xia Ji lacked this belief and the boldness to become a Progenitor. He was destined to never become a Progenitor.
Of course, this was just Lu Yin's opinion. He didn't know much about becoming a Progenitor, but that didn't stop him from creating a flaw in Xia Ji's heart.
"Old man, I can tell that you're contacting me because you want to hear that Progenitor Chen is still invincible. You want me to admit that I didn't defeat Progenitor Chen when he was a Limiteer. Fine, I'll say that I defeated Progenitor Chen when he was still a Limiteer. He's still invincible and will always be invincible. Are you satisfied now?"
Xia Ji was infuriated. Although Progenitor Chen was invincible in the universe, no matter how powerful he had been when he was a Limiteer, he still couldn't compare to Lu Yin when he was undergoing his Origin Tribulation. Even if Progenitor Chen was a Limiteer, he wouldn't be able to compare to Lu Yin when he was undergoing his Origin Tribulation. This bastard was playing with him.
"You'll have to pay for your words!" Xia Ji gritted his teeth, filled with hatred.
Lu Yin was helpless. "You're the one who told me to say it, but you're not satisfied. Why don't we make a deal? I'll do as you say, and you'll teach me the Nine Clones Technique. How about that?"
Xia Ji immediately ended the call, as he didn't want to talk to Lu Yin any longer. He regretted his decision, as contacting Lu Yin on impulse had been a mistake. This brat didn't care about his status as a Half-Progenitor at all.
Lu Yin put down his gadget. His defeat of Progenitor Chen had shocked the outside world greatly. Once news of this spread and the lower-level cultivators learned about it, it would cause an even greater commotion, which would be beneficial to Lu Yin. However, those who blindly worshipped Progenitor Chen would definitely react violently.
Xia Ji was the most obvious example.
Lu Yin shook his head. No matter how strong these people's reactions were, they didn't matter.
They were far inferior to Elder Lohar's group of people who were guarding Ironblood Weave. They were currently in the Great Eastern Alliance's fleet, and even if they couldn't be of much use, their willpower was very firm, which encouraged the Great Eastern Alliance.
Although the war had only lasted for a short period of time, the Great Eastern Alliance's fleet had changed greatly. They had gone from not recognizing this war to now being accustomed to it. The entire fleet had transformed. One group of people had been sacrificed, but another.
Then, it was time to end this.
Lu Yin activated his gadget and contacted Xu Qing.
At this moment, in the north, Xu Qing was having a headache, as he didn't know how to deal with the Great Eastern Alliance.
The empire's attitude towards Lu Yin was very clear: he had to be killed. The Imperial Tutor had even divined that Lu Yin would be killed, but he had still failed.
Now that Lu Yin had successfully passed his tribulation and was about to become the Blood Progenitor's disciple, he couldn't be killed. Otherwise, the Astral Beast Domain might not be able to withstand the Blood Progenitor's wrath.
Then, what about the Great Eastern Alliance?
No matter what, the Great Eastern Alliance's fleet had to be destroyed. Otherwise, they would not be able to invade the Outerverse. This had been the empire's long-cherished wish for countless years, and now that they were so close to success, they couldn't give up.
However, the Great Eastern Alliance would not be so easily defeated.
They had many experts, and Lu Yin was already difficult to deal with. Now that he had broken through, who knew what kind of power level he would have? Perhaps he could even use his status as the Blood Progenitor's disciple to obtain assistance from the Sixth Mainland, which would be troublesome.
The Great Eastern Alliance had joined forces with the Sixth Mainland, and even if the empire sent reinforcements, they would not be able to take them down.
What he was most worried about was not how to invade the Outerverse, but rather how to preserve his own strength.
The Sword King was dead, and the Void Wanderer Ancestor had returned to the Celestial Beast Empire...
While Xu Qing was having a headache, he received a call from Lu Yin. When Xu Qing saw it, he fell silent for a moment before answering.
"Commander Xu Qing, the war is about to begin. Take care." Lu Yin's first words stunned Xu Qing. What did he mean?
Remind him?
There was such a thing?
During a war, would the commander of the opposing side remind the commander of the opposing side?
Xu Qing had experienced countless wars, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. He did not know how to respond.
"Alliance Master Lu, what do you mean?" Xu Qing asked in a low voice, as he truly did not know what Lu Yin meant.
Lu Yin smiled. "I'm just giving you a friendly reminder. I don't know if you have the power to resist all of the Great Eastern Alliance's experts."
Xu Qing's tone was gloomy. "Are you threatening me?"
"Of course not. I already said that I'm just giving you a friendly reminder."
Xu Qing could not understand what Lu Yin was trying to do. "Alliance Master Lu, just say what you want."
Lu Yin sighed. "Sometimes, kindness can be misunderstood. Commander Xu Qing, the Sword King is dead, and the Void Wanderer Ancestor has left. Once the war starts, you definitely won't be able to stop the Great Eastern Alliance. Am I right?"
"You can try," Xu Qing said coldly.
Lu Yin laughed. "Alright, then I'll try." He then hung up.
Xu Qing stared at his gadget in a daze. What did Lu Yin mean?
Was he messing with him?
A demonstration?
A threat?
What was Lu Yin's goal?
He was truly at a loss, as he could not understand Lu Yin's intentions.
However, he was certain that Lu Yin did not want to start a war. Otherwise, why would Lu Yin have specifically reminded him?
When he thought of this, Xu Qing activated his gadget and contacted Lu Yin.
In a spacecraft to the south, Lu Yin smiled and accepted the call. "What's up, Commander Xu Qing?
Prepare for battle. "
