Back in the plaza, Lu Yin looked at Chu Yuan calmly, "You're actually very strong. You could've defeated Jialan, River Mavis, and the others with this move. Unfortunately, you met the current me."
Chu Yuan's eyes flashed, "What have you been through in the past twenty years?"
Lu Yin's lips curled up, "Not much, but it's enough to defeat you."
Chu Yuan took a deep breath, slowly raised his blade, and faced Lu Yin head-on. This was his final strike, and he had thirty-nine strikes. He could only attack forty times at most, which was equivalent to forty full-power strikes. This destructive force could easily tear apart the Reaper's Transformation.
His original target had not just been Lu Yin, but Jialan and River Mavis as well. However, Lu Yin's reaction had forced him to go all out, and he didn't have time to think about the others. If he couldn't defeat Lu Yin with this strike, there was no hope for anyone else. He hadn't expected to meet such a monster in this era where cultivation was weak. If such a monster had appeared in the Above Heaven era, the progenitor might not have wanted to meet him, even if he had the power of time.
On the other side, River Mavis and Silver's battle was getting more and more intense. River Mavis was covered in blood, and Butterfly's blade was bent even more.
Silver wasn't in a good state either, having been punched countless times. From River Mavis's point of view, Silver's body should've been destroyed long ago, but he was still fine. This shouldn't be happening.
At that moment, the two of them stopped at the same time and looked at Chu Yuan. The space around them trembled, and everyone could feel an incomparably sharp aura filling the void. Chu Yuan slowly raised his saber. "If you die, don't blame me."
Lu Yin sighed. The Reaper Transformation wouldn't be able to withstand this attack, but it was only the first stage of his current state. He had thought that he wouldn't need to use his full strength against Chu Yuan and the others, but he had still ended up using it.
"From this day onwards, the era will change. I, Lu Yin, will lead the Above Heaven Sect to restore humanity's glory," Lu Yin declared, his voice spreading throughout the solar system and Frostwave Weave, almost to the entire Fifth Mainland.
No one had expected Lu Yin to suddenly say something like this.
Heng Xin's eyes flickered. This was his wish. This man was only a Star Emissary. Facing Chu Yuan's attack, it was hard to say whether he could take it or not. Yet he dared to say such arrogant words. Either he was crazy, or he was certain he could win.
Lu Buzheng was nervous and wanted to advise Lu Yin to give up, but did Lu Yin's words mean that he had absolute confidence in winning?
He couldn't understand what Lu Yin was going to do.
The Divine Sealing Catalog?
Inheritance of the Grim Reaper?
He couldn't do any of that.
At that moment, everyone looked at Lu Yin and Chu Yuan.
The entire Human Domain fell silent as they stared at Chu Yuan's blade.
Chu Yuan's blade finally landed. Although it was just one blade, it exploded with the power of forty blades. The frozen time was released, and forty blades slashed down at Lu Yin's head at the same time.
Lu Yin's eyes suddenly widened, his eyes as bright as the stars. He took a step forward, and a power that resembled the universe instantly spread out from his heart. It was like the inner world of a Half-Ancestor, instantly enveloping the entire plaza, including Chu Yuan, He Luo Mavis, and the others.
From a distance, these two comma-shaped objects slowly revolved around the Fatesand, forming a regular circle. In the center of this circle were specks of stars, and outside of this circle was a layer of fog. This was the shape of the power within Lu Yin's heart. No matter how one looked at it, it looked like a universe.
With the sword as the guide, the black-and-white fog as the shape, the Fatesand as the core, and the astral source as the shell, this was how it was formed.
Before this, the black-and-white fog in his heart had been the black-and-white fog, the Fatesand had been the Fatesand, and the astral source had been the astral source. Now, all of these things had integrated into a universe, and as they circulated, they formed the same tyrannical power that had suppressed Jialan's power.
This was an unprecedented power, one that surpassed even Jialan's power and strangely surpassing the aura of death. However, this was not all that Lu Yin had grasped. Even now, he still did not fully understand the essence of this power, but he knew and was certain that this power could withstand Chu Yuan's attack.
Even if he could not, he still had Progenitor Chen's Myriad Sirius Stars. When the fifth stage of the Art of Sirius had been perfected, Lu Yin was already in an invincible position.
The blade slashed down, but after Lu Yin's power manifested, it weakened layer by layer within this universe. It was clearly a short distance, but it was incomparably far.
When the blade landed in front of Lu Yin, all that was left was a power that Lu Yin could block with a single finger.
When he saw that Lu Yin had blocked his blade with a single finger, Chu Yuan could not hold back any longer. He spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground. He had surpassed his limits in order to unleash this attack, but Lu Yin had only used a single finger to block it. This was impossible.
He Luo Mavis, Tiankong Jialan, and the others were all dumbfounded. There was only one word in their minds: impossible.
It was not just them; even Hen Xin and Jue Yi were shocked. They were even more shocked than when Chu Yuan had used the power of time. Impossible, this was impossible. How could this be?
That was a power that even Half-Ancestors like them could not help but raise their eyebrows, but Lu Yin had blocked it with a single finger.
Not only that, but what was this power that covered the entire plaza?
This could not be the inner world of a Half-Ancestor, right? No, he was clearly only at the third Origin Tribulation, so how could he have this kind of power?
Even Lu Buzheng, who had hoped that Lu Yin would be able to block Chu Yuan's attack, found it hard to believe. He had thought that Lu Yin might be able to block it, but he had not expected it to be this easy. Furthermore, when he looked at the power that covered the entire plaza, he could tell that this was clearly an inner world, but it was also different. A third Origin Tribulation cultivator could not use an inner world. What was going on?
No one could understand, and they all stared at Lu Yin in a daze.
Lu Yin had experienced this feeling before. During the final battle of the Sovereign Tournament, he had used the Reaper Transformation and dominated his peers with absolute strength. Everyone had looked at him like this, and now, it was not just this era; even the elites of the Above Heaven Sect's era looked at him like this.
They were looking at legends and myths.
"I've said it before. In this era, I'm the leader." Lu Yin lowered his hand, and the blade shattered. The power that had covered the entire plaza was instantly withdrawn. Lu Yin looked up and swept his gaze over everyone, especially the Half-Ancestors in the stands. "The Above Heaven Sect's era, the Daosource Sect's era, and our era all belong to humanity. Regardless of whether it was the past, present, or future, I'm the leader of this era, and I'm truly walking on behalf of the heavens. Does anyone have any objections?"
Everyone had been shocked by what had just happened, and no one had been able to react. Everyone was silent.
Lu Yin turned around and looked at He Luo Mavis. "I know you're still hiding something. Show it, or else you won't have a chance if I make a move."
He Luo Mavis gulped. "Monster."
Lu Yin looked at Silver. "What's going on with you?
We should have a chat. "
Although Silver was smiling, his smile was not as carefree as before. Lu Yin's strength had similarly shocked him, and just as He Luo Mavis had said, Lu Yin was a monster.
"Captain, I helped you," Silver said.
"That's why we're having a chat. Otherwise, just because you betrayed me and sided with Jue Yi, I would have killed you first," Lu Yin said coldly.
Silver smiled. "I didn't betray you, Captain. As long as you say the word, I'll come over immediately."
In the stands, Jue Yi was furious, and he grabbed at Silver. "Impudent!"
On the other side, Lu Buzheng blocked Jue Yi. "This is a battle for the position of Dao Disciple. What are you trying to do?"
Jue Yi looked at Lu Buzheng. "It's just dealing with a traitor. There's nothing to fight about."
Lu Yin looked at Jue Yi. "Is the traitor you're talking about him or me?"
Jue Yi stared at Lu Yin. "Can you create death energy?"
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "That's right."
Jue Yi's expression changed, and he didn't know what to say.
Lu Yin shouted, "I can create death energy. I'm the true inheritor of the Death God. Jue Yi, can you create death energy?
You can't. "
"Not only can he not create death energy, but he's also not the Death God's disciple." In the stands, Destiny spoke up. "The Death God has never had a successor, nor has he ever acknowledged Jue Yi as his disciple. Only those who are fated can become the Death God's disciple. Now, it seems that the true successor has appeared, and Jue Yi is not you."
Jue Yi's expression turned ugly.
Lu Yin glared at Jue Yi. "What else is there to say? I'm the true successor of the Death God. Since you're using the Death God's power, you have to listen to me. That's what you told me before."
Jue Yi stared at Lu Yin, unable to refute him. He had never thought that Lu Yin would be able to create the Death God. He had a premonition from the moment the Death God Transformation had appeared, and now that it had been confirmed, he found it hard to accept.
Destiny's Destiny was right; he had never been acknowledged by the Death God as his disciple. In comparison, Lu Yin, who could create death energy, was the true successor.
"What, you want to betray the Death God?"
Lu Yin barked.
At this point, Henshin spoke up. "This is a competition to become a Dao Disciple, not the Death God's successor. Lu Yin, if you want to become a Dao Disciple, you must carry the Primogenitor's statue and walk to the Above Heaven Sect. During this time, you must endure the attacks of all competitors. Only those who can make it this far can become a Dao Disciple. Your competition is not over yet."
Lu Yin looked at the statue. "Alright, I'll become a Dao Disciple first, then I'll clean up the mess."
Henshin frowned. Clean up the mess?
What arrogance. Lu Buzheng and the other Half-Ancestors couldn't deal with Jue Yi. Suddenly, he thought of Destiny's Destiny. Was this person really going to help Lu Yin?
If Lu Yin became a Dao Disciple, then Destiny's Destiny's Destiny's Destiny might be true.
He looked at Chu Yuan, who was heavily injured. He Luo Mavis was no longer in the mood to fight, and Silver had even threatened to betray Jue Yi in front of him. Skypiercing Jialan had also been impaled into the wall. There was no one left to stop Lu Yin from becoming a Dao Disciple.
Lu Yin walked towards the Primogenitor's statue and exited the Death God Transformation. He no longer needed it.
When he arrived in front of the statue, Lu Yin looked at it. This was the Primogenitor, the one who had founded the Above Heaven Sect and led humanity into the era of cultivation. Where was he now?
Humanity was facing the end of the world, and the five continents had collapsed. Was he still alive?
Lu Yin looked at the statue for a long time before finally looking away. He walked up to the statue and carried it on his back. Regardless of whether the Primogenitor was still alive or not, he had brought humanity to its peak. He was their ancestor and the source of their strength, so Lu Yin was willing to carry him.
The statue was heavy enough to crush an Emissary, but this weight was of no use to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin carried the statue on his back and walked from the plaza to the Above Heaven Sect's mountain gate. He was getting closer and closer to his position as a Dao Disciple.
Everyone knew that no one would be able to stop Lu Yin now. Forget about the cultivators of the same generation, even the powerhouses of the older generation, or even those from the Above Heavens Realm, would not be able to stop Lu Yin.
