The Forgotten Ruins Deity saw the needle and instinctively dodged it. Even though he had never experienced the power of the needle, Lu Yin clearly did not take it out for show. The direction of his palm was changed by the needle.
Lu Yin was delighted, and he used the Yu Secret Art to transfer the needle to Leng Qing. "Stab her with this."
He had used this move to deal with Wang Si before. He had upgraded the needle and could break through the inner world of a Half Martial Ancestor. Even when the God of Forgetfulness attacked them, his inner world was useless.
There was a thump as the Forgotten Ruins Deity slapped the egg, sending Lu Yin flying. Lu Yin gritted his teeth. Fortunately, the attack wasn't too powerful, and the egg could withstand it. He turned around and saw that the statue wasn't too far away from him.
Of course, he was not stupid enough to think that the Astral Source could blow up the God of Oblivion. He had already calculated the direction that he would rush out from and the direction that the God of Oblivion would attack. He wanted to use the God of Oblivion's attack to get close to the statue. He also wanted to snatch the sword. The God of Oblivion might not hit him towards the statue, but the needle would come in handy. He used the needle to forcefully change the direction of the God of Oblivion's palm, and eventually, he would still get close to the statue.
Now that the Stellar Sources were constantly being devoured and released, the Plan Secret Word and the Great Shift Formation were no longer reliable. He might as well borrow the power of the God of Oblivion Ruins.
The God of Forgotten Ruins frowned, as she had actually been used. If it had been anyone else, even if a Half-Progenitor had taken out a needle, she might not have had any misgivings, but Lu Yin was different. This person was prepared for everything.
Leng Qing took the needle. He did not care much about it at first, but he subconsciously exerted some force, only to find that he could not damage the needle in the slightest. The strength of the needle was about the same as his blade, and now that his usage of the blade had been sealed by the Forgotten Ruins Deity, he might as well not use it. When he saw that the Forgotten Ruins Deity had sent Lu Yin flying with a palm strike, he picked up the needle and stabbed it.
On the other side, Lu Yin had been sent flying close to the statue, but he didn't hesitate to charge towards it. Chu Yuan stared at Lu Yin and wanted to stop him, but suddenly, the surrounding stars revolved and astralsource surged into Lu Yin's body. Chu Yuan's expression changed, and he hurriedly retreated.
The reason why the Astral Source could not explode the God of Forgotten Ruins was because the God of Forgotten Ruins was a Half-Martial Ancestor. However, the God of Forgotten Ruins was different. With his cultivation level, the speed at which he absorbed the Astral Source would allow him to undergo tribulation in the blink of an eye.
It was the same for the River Mavis. With Sirius's help, none of them dared to approach Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was now the closest person to the statue, and he was almost within reach.
Now, he could clearly see every detail of the statue, even the fine veins on the statue.
He had originally intended to store the statue in his cosmic ring, but just as he raised his hand, he felt a sense of foreboding, as if he had forgotten something. He subconsciously glanced at Chu Yuan from the corner of his eye and saw the mockery in his eyes.
Not long after Chu Yuan had awakened, he had directly come to the Daosource Sect's ruins and found the main hall. He had also recognized that there was a sword within the statue, and it was obvious that Chu Yuan was very familiar with it. Now that Lu Yin was about to obtain the statue, Chu Yuan had a strange look in his eyes. Something was wrong, very wrong.
Lu Yin looked at the statue that was right in front of him. This was a primogenitor with a python coiled around his waist and a divine eagle perched on his shoulders. How could such a person's statue be taken away so easily? No matter what, the creator of this statue should not be allowed to be desecrated.
There was a problem.
Lu Yin maintained his posture of grabbing the statue without moving.
Chu Yuan's expression changed, and he actually stopped.
There was a loud boom as a berserk energy swept out. Lu Yin was sent flying before he could even react, and even his egg was shattered.
Eggs could withstand attacks that were roughly on the same level as the Second Nightking, but the Forgotten Ruins Deity's attack was not weak. Not only did it shatter the egg, but the shockwaves also injured Lu Yin and sent him crashing into a pillar in the main hall.
Lu Yin spat out a mouthful of blood, and his organs were in intense pain. He could not control the blood in his body as he coughed it out.
He looked up and saw the Forgotten Ruins Deity.
At the same time, he had heavily injured Leng Qing and the Nine Luminaries. He then took a step towards the statue. At this moment, the main hall was constantly shuttling through spacetime and switching between different scenes. It moved faster and faster, and all sorts of lights flashed continuously.
Lu Yin stared at the Forgotten Ruins Deity as she raised her hand to grab the statue. She was getting closer and closer.
Crack!
There was a shattering sound, and everyone watched as the statue shattered. A hazy halo spread out from within the statue and illuminated the main hall.
The Forgotten Ruins Deity excitedly stared at the statue. She saw the sword hilt and the blade. This was one of the six swords that the primogenitor had worn, and it was now hers. She reached into the statue and was about to grab the hilt.
Suddenly, her pupils shrank, and her hand that had reached into the hilt turned into motes of light that then spread to her entire body.
Everyone else was shocked. What was going on?
The Forgotten Ruins Deity was slowly disappearing, starting from her arm.
She was shocked and immediately cut off her arm, but her body continued to dissipate into motes of light. It was beautiful, like a firefly, but this scene was also horrifying.
Everyone watched in a daze as the Forgotten Ruins Deity's body slowly dissipated. The Forgotten Ruins Deity did not feel any pain. She tried to stop it, but she could not even move a single step. It started from her arm, then her legs, then her body, and finally, only her head remained.
The Forgotten Ruins Deity closed her eyes. "This is the power of time." As soon as she finished speaking, her body completely disappeared as if she had never existed.
Was she dead or what?
No one knew.
Lu Yin was shocked. The power of time?
It was so calm and beautiful, but it was also so terrifying.
The statue continued to shatter and fall to the ground with a soft thud. Everyone watched as an ordinary-looking sword floated in the air.
The sword was very ordinary, not much different from the ones worn by ordinary cultivators. It was not as exquisite as Liu Huang's sword, and it even looked a little rusty. The blade was not sharp and was very thin, as if it could be easily broken. However, this sword actually contained the power of time and caused the Forgotten Ruins Deity to disappear in the blink of an eye.
This was the primogenitor's sword, and the Forgotten Ruins Deity had desperately tried to obtain it. It contained the power of time.
At this moment, the sword was right there, but no one dared to move it.
Lu Yin did not dare either, and he was glad that he had been vigilant. Otherwise, he would have been the one to disappear.
The light outside the main hall continued to flicker, and various images of space-time appeared, but no one paid attention to them. Everyone was staring at the sword.
He Luo Mavis looked at Chu Yuan. "Your turn."
Jiu Yao, Lan Xian, and Leng Qing also looked at Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan's goal had always been this sword, and he should have a way. He was not surprised that the Forgotten Ruins Deity had disappeared, so he might know.
However, Chu Yuan looked at Lu Yin. "Do you want to try?"
"You go first," Lu Yin said.
Chu Yuan laughed. "If I get it, then it's mine. This sword belongs to the primogenitor, and it contains the power of time. Don't regret it if you don't try."
He Luo Mavis looked down on him. "Don't try to trick him. We're not stupid, and we all saw what happened to the Forgotten Ruins Deity. Who would dare try? You're dreaming if you want to use this to kill someone."
"As a cultivator, you don't even have the spirit to take risks. You're destined to never reach the peak," Chu Yuan mocked.
His eyes narrowed. "Don't worry, as long as you get it, I'll snatch it from you."
Chu Yuan did not mind and looked at the sword solemnly, his expression unprecedentedly solemn.
It was obvious that he was panicking. He knew that taking the sword would be courting death, but he could only guess.
If he failed, then his fate would not be any better than the Forgotten Ruins Deity's. He was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
He Luo Mavis mocked, "What, you don't dare to take it?
You found this place yourself, but you don't dare to take it? What a joke. "
Chu Yuan ignored her, but at that moment, the main hall started to crack.
Behind him, the pillar that he had knocked down earlier was also cracking.
Jiu Yao was shocked. "It's going to collapse!"
He Luo Mavis felt her scalp go numb. Once the main hall collapsed, they would fall into the river of time, and whether or not they would survive would be a problem. Even if they did, her face would turn pale when she thought about the collapse of the mainland and the battle in the Daosource Sect.
"Hurry up and take us away from this broken place!" He Luo Mavis was no longer in the mood to joke around, and she shouted at Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan frowned. Dust fell in front of him, and the main hall shook even more violently. He took a deep breath and decided to go all out. He had to believe that dead fish.
Under the gazes of everyone, Chu Yuan opened his mouth and spoke a hazy voice. It was like a thunderclap that exploded by the ears of everyone, and it caused the dark river of time outside the hall to seethe as if it possessed the mighty force to travel through space.
As he spoke, the sword began to shake.
Chu Yuan was delighted; it was useful.
Across from him, Lu Yin blinked. Wasn't this the Primogenitor's Scripture?
The Primogenitor's Scripture could be used to take the sword?
As Chu Yuan recited the Primogenitor's Scripture, the sword shook even more violently and faintly approached him.
He Luo Mavis was unwilling to give up. Once Chu Yuan obtained the sword, he would be on a completely different level from her. However, if he didn't take it, they might not be able to survive.
The saddest thing in life was to hope that your opponent would save you.
Leng Qing sighed. If possible, he naturally didn't want to die either. This sword belonged to the primogenitor, so it was acceptable for Chu Yuan to have it.
Everyone watched as the sword slowly floated up and was guided by Chu Yuan.
At that moment, another faint voice sounded, and it was like thunder exploding in everyone's ears.
Everyone looked over and stared blankly at Lu Yin reciting the Primogenitor's Scripture. He knew it too?
Chu Yuan was shocked and stared at Lu Yin. This person knew the Primogenitor's Scripture too?
How could he know everything?
He didn't know that the Lu family also had the Primogenitor's Scripture, nor did he have the qualifications to know how many people it had been passed down. All he knew was that he wanted nothing more than to kill Lu Yin right now. This was the primogenitor's sword, the sword that suppressed the Above Heaven Sect and possessed the power of time.
He Luo Mavis was speechless. This guy was really ruthless. Where did he even come from?
Even she, a Dao Disciple, didn't know how to do it. Only Chu Yuan, who had been received by the primogenitor, knew how to do it.
Lu Yin recited the Primogenitor's Scripture and stared at the sword. He felt a connection with it, as if he was really grabbing onto the hilt. He relied on the scripture to continuously guide the sword towards himself. So this was how to hold a sword.
Right, the Primogenitor's Scripture. This name obviously belonged to the primogenitor, so it was only natural that one had to use the primogenitor's strength to take something that belonged to the primogenitor.
"You two, hurry up! The main hall is about to collapse!" He Luo Mavis couldn't help but shout angrily. She was afraid that the main hall would collapse and she would die here, but she was also annoyed that these two were ignoring her and fighting over the sword.
Chu Yuan stared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked at Chu Yuan as well.
They looked at each other and saw the coldness and killing intent in each other's eyes. They both hoped that the other would let go, but how could they do so at a time like this?
Leng Qing looked at Lu Yin, "The sword should belong to the Dao Disciple. Let go immediately."
