Jue Yi's expression sank. "I didn't see if you could create death qi. Even if you could, it would be a coincidence. I'm the Death God's disciple, and I'm the true inheritor of the Death God's power."
Lu Yin sneered. "Obviously. The Death God's disciple can't even create death qi. Once it runs out, will you still be the Death God's disciple?"
Jue Yi's eyes went wide; this was what he was most worried about. The Death God had existed during the Above Heaven era, and he could find death qi. However, in this era, the Death God's life was uncertain, and the amount of death qi was decreasing. If he ran out of death qi before he could break through, the Death God's inheritance would disappear.
"As long as I break through, I can create death qi. I admit that you also have the Death God's inheritance, but as long as I break through, I'll be the new Death God."
Lu Yin sneered. "If breaking through was that easy, then the Fifth Mainland wouldn't have never succeeded. You think too highly of yourself. Even if you break through, you won't be able to create death qi. Only I can create death qi, and I'm the Death God's successor."
"Lu Yin, why did you capture Hen San?" Hen Xin stepped forward.
Lu Buzheng hurriedly stood in front of him and looked at Lu Yin. Had this kid become arrogant after defeating Chu Yuan and the rest?
Did he really think that he could act on behalf of the heavens just because he had the support of a Fated Daughter?
Did he really think that he was on the same level as a Half-Ancestor?
Lu Yin looked at Hen Xin. "I wanted to capture him, so I did."
Lu Buzheng's expression changed. This was too provocative, and he didn't even place Hen Xin in his eyes.
Elder Chan stared at Lu Yin in disbelief. This kid was crazy.
Jiu Yao felt strange, as this was not the Lu Yin he knew.
The Fated Daughter looked on curiously, as there was definitely a problem with Lu Yin's abnormal behavior.
Hen Xin angrily attacked.
Lu Yin suddenly took out the Progenitor's Sword. "The Above Heaven Sect only exists with this. Does anyone recognize it?"
Everyone stared at the Progenitor's Sword. It was clearly an ordinary sword, and there was nothing special about it.
"The Progenitor's Sword?"
Jiu Yao was shocked. He had personally witnessed Lu Yin's heart being pierced by the sword back in the main hall. He had been wondering where the Progenitor's Sword had gone during the battle for the Daoist position and guessed that it was most likely in Lu Yin's hands. Now that he had seen Lu Yin take it out with his own eyes, even if he had guessed it before, the shock he felt could not be erased.
"Progenitor's Sword?"
Jueyi was shaken.
Hen Xin looked at the Progenitor's Sword with a burning gaze. Lu Yin's words were true; only with the Progenitor's Sword would there be a Heaven's Gate.
He worked hard to rebuild the Sect Above Heaven not just for fame. There was a legend in their era that only by becoming a Dao Master could one know the universe's greatest secret. He wanted to break through the ancestor level and then become a Dao Master. But what else did a Dao Master have besides strength?
It was only after Chu Yuan and the others had returned to this era that he learned of the existence of the Progenitor Sword. Perhaps only after he became a Dao Lord would he be able to learn of some of its secrets.
Although no one said anything about Lu Yin's appearance, everyone was thinking about the Progenitor's Sword.
But now, they had seen him in such an abrupt manner. They had thought that Lu Yin would have hidden himself, as he had such a precious treasure that even Lu Buzheng and the others might not have been able to protect him. That was the Progenitor's Sword, a supreme treasure that could travel through time and space. It could be considered the universe's number one supreme treasure.
Lu Yin held the Progenitor's Sword and glanced at Hen Xin, Jue Yi, Life Maiden, and the others. "Not bad, this is the Progenitor's Sword. Do you want it?"
Mount Tai was silent. Even the leader of the Elysium did not know what to say at this moment.
Of course, but how?
Whoosh.
Lu Yin stabbed the Progenitor's Sword into the ground, and the hilt swayed. "Whoever wants it can come and get it."
Everyone stared at the Progenitor's Sword on the ground in silence.
Jiu Yao took a step forward and reached out to grab it, but then he suddenly thought of something and pulled his hand back with a pale face. He looked at Lu Yin. "If I touch it, will I end up like her?"
Lu Yin knew that he was referring to the Forgotten Ruins Deity. "Yes."
Jiu Yao stared into Lu Yin's eyes, trying to determine if he was speaking the truth. However, he could not tell, and he did not dare to take the risk. He stared blankly at the Progenitor's Sword that was so close to him, not daring to make a move.
Hen Xin finally tore his gaze away from the sword and looked at Lu Yin. "Do you think that just because you have this sword, you're the rightful successor of the Celestial Sect and can do whatever you want?"
Lu Yin raised his hand and placed it on the hilt. "During the Dao Disciple Competition, I already said that only I can lead the Celestial Sect. I am the true leader of this era." He then took a step forward with his right foot, causing the stars to revolve and resonate with the Sirius Stars. The pattern beneath his foot flickered, and in an instant, Lu Yin saw countless stars revolve around him. This was the Fifth Mainland, a star that he had created himself.
He was like the ruler of the heavens, replacing the universe and the vault of heaven as he stepped on the starry sky.
This time was different from the first time. Lu Yin was resonating with the Sirius Stars without hiding anything. This unimaginably terrifying power instantly shocked everyone. This was the power of a Progenitor, Progenitor Chen's power.
Not to mention the current era where Progenitors did not appear, but even in the Daosource Sect's era, or even in the Above Sky Sect's era, Progenitor Chen's strength was unrivalled. He had monopolized two mountains and one ocean, and no one knew how strong he was.
When Lu Yin merged with Progenitor Chen's Sirius Stars, Hen Xin and the others were forced to retreat, and no one was able to get close.
Lu Yin enjoyed the feeling of being in control of everything, and his thoughts appeared from one star to another. He arrived at the western part of the Innerverse, which was also the frontlines of the decisive battle between the humans and the Eternal Tribe. He saw Half-Progenitor Leng Qing, Wang Si, and a woman who was also a Half-Progenitor. He also saw various microarrays erupting, the Eternal Tribe monsters, and Marquis Wuyi.
On the frontlines, when Lu Yin's thoughts swept past the battlefield, several stars stopped revolving.
Leng Qing and the others suddenly looked up. "Progenitor's power?"
Before this, the only Progenitor's power that had erupted from the Fifth Mainland had been the Sixth Mainland's Three Progenitors. However, those three Progenitors were completely different from this power. This boundless power that could replace the universe was unimaginably terrifying.
On the Eternals' side, Marquis Wuyi's expression changed. Ever since Marquis Green Bamboo had died, he had been on tenterhooks. He could not understand how Marquis Green Bamboo had died, but now, he knew that such a terrifying Progenitor's power had appeared on the Fifth Mainland. This was no ordinary Progenitor, and even the Mind Web that had covered the Fifth Mainland twenty years ago could not compare to it.
This power was filled with tyranny and killing intent, as well as a will that could replace everything.
Marquis Wuyi leaped out in an attempt to escape, as he had to. This power had covered the entire Eternals, and it was obvious that it wanted to destroy them.
Lu Yin had a strange feeling at this moment. He could see Marquis Wuyi fleeing, but it also felt like Marquis Wuyi was fleeing like an ant within his Sirius.
Lu Yin directly crushed the stars, and just like Marquis Green Bamboo, he devoured Marquis Wuyi, leaving nothing behind.
One of the Twelve Marquises, a powerful Half-Progenitor of the Eternals, had died just like Marquis Green Bamboo.
Leng Qing saw it, Wang Si saw it, and even that unfamiliar Half-Progenitor woman saw it.
Marquis Wuyi, who had been fighting with them, had died just like that, leaving nothing behind.
"Senior, please grant us an audience." Leng Qing bowed respectfully towards the void. She did not know who this person was, nor did she know which era he was from, but he had such terrifying power. Regardless of whether it was the era of the Above Heavens Sect or the current era, this person was worthy of being addressed as a senior.
"Senior, please grant us an audience." The Half-Progenitor woman bowed respectfully.
Wang Si also bowed respectfully. "Senior, please grant us an audience."
Lu Yin coldly glanced at Wang Si. He would settle this debt with her very soon. As he thought about it, he looked towards the countless Eternals. He raised his foot and crushed the stars once again. This time, the Fifth Mainland would no longer have the Neohuman Alliance and the Eternals.
The resplendent light brought about the disappearance of countless lives.
Under the shocked gazes of Leng Qing and the others, the Eternals that had been in a stalemate with them for twenty years disappeared completely from the western region of the Innerverse.
The Neohuman Alliance that had dominated the Fifth Mainland for countless years had also disappeared.
Far away in the Outerverse, Lu Buzheng and the others did not know what had happened in the Innerverse. They could only stare at Lu Yin in disbelief as they felt the boundless power of a Progenitor.
The stronger someone was, the more they could sense how terrifying this power was. Hen Xin and the others had interacted with the Blood Progenitor before, so they could easily determine that the Blood Progenitor's strength was far inferior to Lu Yin's. This was not something that an ordinary Progenitor could possess.
After dealing with the Eternals outside the frontlines, Lu Yin looked towards the entrance to the Starfall Sea. It was time to free the Blood Progenitor.
Twenty years ago, the Corpse God had paid the price of an arm in an attempt to seize the main hall. However, the main hall had vanished through spacetime, causing the Corpse God to grab onto nothing. However, the Corpse God was unwilling to give up just like that. An arm was enough to destroy all of the Fifth Mainland's Half-Progenitor powerhouses. Even with the tugging of the mind net, it was still possible.
The mind net was the Hui Ancestor's power, so how could the Hui Ancestor resist the Corpse God?
The Corpse God wanted to destroy the Fifth Mainland's strength so that the Eternals could easily occupy it. It was at that moment that the Blood Progenitor stepped forward, risking his inner world to forcefully resist the Corpse God's arm. He then used the mind net to sever the Corpse God's arm and used his body to block the opening to the Starfall Sea.
That was a tragic moment for a Progenitor. Although the Blood Progenitor was not a powerful Progenitor, the entire Fifth Mainland and Sixth Mainland remembered him. If there was history, he would no longer be the Blood Progenitor, but a great powerhouse who had fought to the death for humanity.
This was despite the fact that he belonged to the Sixth Mainland.
Now, the Blood Progenitor had used his body to block the opening to the Starfall Sea and endured the torment of the Eternals outside. He had bought humanity twenty years and prevented the Eternals from sending any more reinforcements. Even if the battle on the other side of the Astral Tree Domain had ceased and the Eternals could transfer reinforcements, they would not be able to bypass the Blood Progenitor's body.
The Corpse God and the other Seven Skygods were far stronger than the Blood Progenitor and could easily break through the Blood Progenitor's body. However, once they did, the Sky Supporting Pillar would expand and directly block the opening.
The Blood Progenitor himself could not turn back, nor could he retreat. If he did, the Corpse God would be able to block the opening with his arm again, and all his previous efforts would be in vain.
Marquis Wuyi and the other Eternals had been trying to find a way to bring the Blood Progenitor's body back from the Fifth Mainland. Leng Qing and the others had been standing guard here, preventing them from doing so. This was why this place had become the frontline of the war.
The cultivators of the Fifth Mainland and Sixth Mainland wanted to bring the Blood Progenitor back, but they were unable to do so. The Eternals also wanted to bring the Blood Progenitor back, but they were prevented from doing so. The Blood Progenitor had used his body to block the opening.
