Lu Yin flashed into one of the cauldrons and began absorbing its aura. This was the sixth cauldron that he had absorbed.
Unfortunately, this cauldron could not be stored in a cosmic ring, so he could not bring it into the Time Stop Space. Otherwise, he would have saved a lot of time.
At the same time, rumors about Lu Yin's ability to replenish astral sources spread.
Hen Xin was stunned. "He can replenish astral sources?"
In front of him, a member of Team Yi who had lost his right arm said, "It's true." He was Hen Four.
Hen Xin looked to the north; Lu Yin had surprised him more and more. He had been unrivaled among his peers in the Battle of the Dao Disciple, and he had even used the power of a Progenitor to dominate the Fifth Mainland. Now, even the Eternals' arrangements had been broken. He could replenish his astral sources now, but what about in the future?
He might be able to get others to replenish his astral sources.
Although he was angry that Lu Yin had ruined his plans and captured Ni Huang and the others, Hen Xin had to admire this young man. He had done something that even a Dao Disciple from the Above Sky Sect could not do.
If this person had been born in the Above Sky Sect, he would have been a unique Dao Disciple. Even if Chu Yuan had the ability to manipulate time, he would not have been able to compare to Lu Yin.
At that moment, the wireless gu moved from Lu Buzheng.
Hen Xin looked at the message and narrowed his eyes. He had known that this day would come, but he had not expected it to be so soon.
The Above Sky Sect had been set up according to their era. In reality, the twelve Heavenly Gates had been high in status, but they had no authority. The Heavenly Gate Sect Master represented the peak of the Progenitor realm and was almost guaranteed to break through to the Progenitor realm. However, his role in the Above Sky Sect was not to take up authority, but rather to guard the gates.
Every continent had its own Above Sky Sect, and they were spread out in all directions. The twelve Heavenly Gates represented the twelve gates of humanity, and their responsibility was to guard the gates. They had no authority in the sect.
In this era, the twelve Heavenly Gates were the strongest, and he naturally wanted to control the Above Sky Sect. However, with Lu Yin's appearance and the power of a Progenitor, the twelve Heavenly Gates had to return to their original role.
Lu Buzheng's message was for the Three Ultimates to hand over all of their resources to the Above Sky Sect, such as the Aurora Company and the pyrolyte mining teams..
"Sect Master, are we giving up just like that?"
Hen Xin asked.
Hen Xin looked up. "We were the ones who proposed to rebuild the sect in the first place. If we win, we'll control the sect, and if we lose, we'll lose the right to speak. It's very fair. Lu Yin's appearance means that he's capable of reaching this point. People need to learn to admit defeat."
Scar Four lowered his head. He wasn't willing to give up. The members of Team Yi didn't have families, and they were all ordinary people. They were addicted to power after trying it once, and they were no exception. However, their loyalty to Scar Four overshadowed their desire for power. "I understand. I will pass down the order."
Hen Xin looked towards the north. It would be easy for him to let go, as he was willing to accept his loss. This had always been a gamble, but Lu Yin knew that this was only the beginning and not the end. Once he broke through to the Progenitor realm, it would be hard to say who would inherit the Celestial Sect.
There was no stellar source in this era, and he was one of the few experts who could break through to the Ancestor Realm.
Let these people take care of the Above Heaven Sect. Once he broke through to Ancestor Realm, he would naturally be able to take over.
Once he broke through to Ancestral Break, he would no longer be the Houselord of one of the twelve Heavenly Gates. He was confident that he could accept the legacy and become one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. Only then would he have the right to speak in the Above Heaven Sect.
Compared to now, it was just a matter of time. These people's actions would benefit him in the end.
On the other side, Jue Yi had also learned that Lu Yin could replenish his stellar source, and he was just as shocked as Hen Xin.
"He can replenish his stellar source?"
Jue Yi rarely lost his composure, as those who cultivated death energy were usually expressionless. However, Jue Yi had lost his composure far too many times in front of Lu Yin.
The Undying Heaven's Gate was currently located in Earth's Swamp, and this was the only place in the Fifth Mainland that was known to be filled with death energy.
Standing in front of Jue Yi was Tiandou, the current leader of the Specter Clan. "Yes, the news has already spread. He used some unknown method to replenish his stellar source, and he's now the only cultivator in this era who can use it normally."
Jue Yi's face sank. Astralsources were all too common in this era, and all cultivators used astralsources as a standard for their cultivation. Of course, this was also the case in the Above Heaven Sect. Others might have been shocked by this matter, but they were shocked that Lu Yin had actually been able to snatch the astralsource from that liquid.
Everyone felt that stellar sources were very ordinary, but were they really that ordinary?
It was a power created by the Progenitor, and it was meant to benefit all of humanity. If no one else could cultivate stellar sources, then did that mean that Lu Yin was the only inheritor of this power?
As time passed, the cultivators of this era would use up all of their star energy and stellar sources. At that time, Lu Yin would truly be the only inheritor.
Lu Yin could create death energy, and he was the Death God's successor. He was also the only cultivator of stellar sources, so he could be considered the Progenitor's successor. He also possessed a Progenitor's power, and even Jue Yi had to admit that he was the Child of Destiny.
Tiandou calmly looked at the ground. Lu Yin … he really missed that name.
Over the past forty years, whenever something major happened on the Fifth Mainland, Lu Yin's name would appear. Regardless of his cultivation level, Lu Yin had always been able to participate in battles at all levels. The Specter Clan had even entrusted their future to him, and Tiandou had also expressed his loyalty to Lu Yin. Unfortunately, Tiandou had disappeared for twenty years, and this self-proclaimed disciple of the Death God had appeared right in front of him.
The Specter Clan had now become this person's vassal.
"How much do you know about this Lu Yin?"
Jue Yi suddenly asked.
Tiandou replied, "Quite a bit. Ever since he became famous during the Astral Combat Tournament, we've been paying attention to him. Society Master should know a lot about him as well."
Jue Yi looked at Tiandou. "He used the Death God's power. Have you ever interacted with him?"
Tiandou calmly replied, "We have, but he doesn't trust us."
Jue Yi was not surprised. "Think of a way to find Silver."
Tiandou answered, "Yes."
Jue Yi's expression turned ugly. Silver was someone he had carefully nurtured, but he had openly betrayed him during the battle for the Dao Disciple position. Even now, he was still hiding in the Solar System. This person had to be eliminated. As for Lu Yin, once he became a Progenitor and obtained the Death God's power, he would be the Death God's only successor.
…
In the Astral Beast Domain, when the Human Domain's astral sources had been devoured, the Astral Beast Domain had not been affected. However, not long after Lu Yin's disappearance twenty years ago, the liquid had spread to the entire Fifth Mainland and was no longer limited to the Human Domain or the Technocracy. The Astral Beast Domain was in for a bad time.
Astral beasts mostly grew on their own and did not necessarily need to cultivate. However, over the years, many astral beasts had grown accustomed to cultivating their astral sources. As their astral sources were devoured, they were also affected, though not as much as the Human Domain.
In the Celestial Beast Empire, the Yao Emperor and Skymender sat across from each other. In front of them was a game of chess, but it was not a game played by humans.
Instead, it was a game created by the Astral Beast Domain, and it was filled with a savage and murderous aura. It was as if many astral beasts were fighting each other.
Not far from them stood Xu Qing, who had a respectful expression.
Xu Qing was the leader of the Void Thunderbeasts and the commander of the Celestial Beast Empire. However, in front of the Yao Emperor and Skymender, he was just a junior.
With a boom, the chessboard cracked open. The Yao Emperor grinned. "We lost again. We've already lost nine games in a row. The Imperial Tutor is really strict. He's not giving an inch."
Skymender Imperial Tutor was shrouded in a dark shadow, and his appearance could not be seen. "His Majesty is too impatient."
The Yao Emperor sighed. "If he's too slow, someone who shouldn't be here will appear. If he's too impatient, he'll lose again. What do you think we should do, Imperial Tutor?"
"Is His Majesty blaming me?"
The Imperial Tutor asked.
The Yao Emperor fell silent.
"If we had followed His Majesty's plan a few years ago, then the situation would have been different. The human race might have been wiped out a long time ago, but if that was the case, then why didn't we do it twenty years ago?
Once we lose the humans, the Eternals will turn their attention to us. His Majesty is very clear about this. Besides, the person who should appear will definitely appear. Regardless of whether he's impatient or not, he will appear, "the Imperial Tutor said.
The Yao Emperor stood up. "Lu Yin became a Dao Disciple the moment he appeared. He even destroyed the Eternals and took control of the Human Domain. He can even borrow the power of a Progenitor. This is something that no one could have imagined. What do you plan to do about him, Imperial Tutor?
If he attacks the Astral Beast Domain, then our fate won't be much better than the Eternals'.
"The human race's weakness is infighting. Losing the Eternals will only make their infighting even worse. Lu Yin took control of the Above Heaven Sect and captured five Half-Progenitors. His Majesty is anxious, but the Eternals are even more anxious. Don't forget that the most mysterious member of the Eternals, the Seven Skygods, has yet to make a move."
"Bai Wushen?"
The Yao Emperor was astonished.
Imperial Tutor Skymender quietly watched the game without speaking.
The Yao Emperor then looked at Xu Qing and asked, "If you face Lu Yin again, are you confident that you can win?"
Xu Qing's gaze was resolute. "Yes, I will wash away my past humiliation."
…
Two months later, in the Neoverse, outside of Progenitor Chen's tomb, in the ruins of the Seven Courts, the giant Aurora Stronghold headed north.
Within the stronghold, Zhi Dong looked at the sky with a complicated expression, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
They had just left the Three Ultimates Heavenly Gate and had fallen into Lu Yin's hands. The Aurora Spacecraft Company that people once looked up to was now just a piece of delicious cake.
"Father, can we ask for Elder Gong's help?"
Twenty years had passed, and the young man who had loved racing had matured a lot. Zhi Dong had given him time to play, and he had played enough. Now, he had gradually taken over the Aurora Stronghold's authority.
However, he was destined for tragedy. Twenty years ago, Lu Yin had already suppressed the Aurora Corporation, and within twenty years, it had been the Three Ultimates Sky Gate. Now, it was Lu Yin's turn again.
Zhi Dong looked at Zhi Dong apologetically. "I'm sorry that I couldn't hand over the Aurora Stronghold to you."
"It's not your fault, Father. It's just that times have changed. Can Elder Gong help us?"
Zhi Dong shook his head. "If I could, we wouldn't have been in the Three Ultimates Sky Gate's hands for so long." He paused for a moment before continuing, "Don't worry, we all understand Lu Yin. As long as we follow his lead, we'll be fine. Although he has a lot of power, he has a good reputation. Otherwise, Elder Chan and the others wouldn't have sided with him."
"It's just that it's been hard on you."
Zhi Dong was helpless. What could he do? He had encountered such a monster in this era.
