Tiandou had sacrificed too much to reach his current level of strength. In order to protect the Specter Race, he had betrayed the humans and joined the Everlasting Race. Later, he had joined Jueyi, and now he had joined the Everlasting Race again. He had done too much, but he had lost everything in one day. How could this be possible?
Lu Yin would not explain the die to him. "You saved Silver back then because he was a boneplant. Your Specter Race had preserved the Death God's Left Arm, but you couldn't use it. You could only watch as the arm went to waste, so you decided to use the boneplant's characteristics to transplant the arm. You're truly ruthless. Tiandou, Silver's fate was miserable, but you weren't much better off.
"You tore apart every inch of his flesh, and you tore apart every inch of your own flesh just to become a boneplant. I have to admire you."
Tiandou clenched his fists, and his eyes flickered as he stared at Lu Yin. "But I still failed. Although the Death God's Left Arm was successfully transplanted, I had to break through to become a half-step Ancestor before I could truly use it. However, because of the transplanted arm, I couldn't pass through my half-step Ancestor Origin Tribulation. I sensed the Death God's power during my tribulation, but it wasn't a half-step Ancestor's tribulation, but rather a Progenitor."
Lu Yin nodded. Through Tiandou's memories, he knew that Tiandou had tried to pass through his tribulation thirty years ago, when he had still been in the Astral Combat Academy.
Because the Death God's Left Arm's tribulation had been too terrifying, he had been forced to give up. Otherwise, he would have become a half-step Ancestor long ago.
He was much older than Qing Ping, and he was about the same age as Elder Gong and the others. However, because he wanted to use the Death God's Left Arm, he had been unable to pass through his tribulation and become a half-step Ancestor. He had tried to use the boneplant's characteristics to become the new Death God, but because of the arm, he had never been able to pass through his tribulation.
It was sad and lamentable.
Tiandou had done too much for the Death God's Left Arm, and the price he had paid was unimaginable. At the very least, Lu Yin knew that he would not be able to bear it, but in the end, this was the result.
This was also why he wanted to focus on cultivating the Eternal Race's only True God's strength. Under the influence of death qi, he would never have any hope.
In the end, the Origin Tribulation came from the Primogenitor's strength. He wanted to surpass the Origin Tribulation and borrow the strength of the Eternal Race's only True God to directly become a Half-Ancestor. Once he succeeded, coupled with the Grim Reaper's left arm, his cultivation base would be unfathomable.
"You're very smart, and you have great foresight. If you wanted to, you could have become a Half-Ancestor long ago. Unfortunately, because of your foresight, you've fallen into a situation where you have to rely on the Everlasting Tribe's power. Have you ever thought that if you cultivate the Everlasting Tribe's power, you'll become a monster instead of a human?"
Tiandou said bitterly, "If you don't become a Progenitor, everything will be for naught. You haven't experienced being suppressed and hunted down by countless people, so you can't understand the concept of being willing to give up everything in order to pursue power."
"My Lu family was exiled by the Four Way Scales. Ever since I stepped onto the path of cultivation, I've always had to deal with the Daynight clan as an enemy. I've been suppressed to the point where I can barely breathe. You should know that," Lu Yin said.
"What's the point of saying all this now? I know your biggest secret, and you'll definitely kill me."
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "That's not my biggest secret."
Tiandou was shocked, but then he laughed. "As expected of a legend of this era. Alliance Leader Lu, I'm becoming more and more convinced that you're the next Grim Reaper, someone who can control the power of both the Lu family and the Grim Reaper. Perhaps you'll truly be able to display the glory of humanity, but unfortunately, I won't be able to see it."
Lu Yin had experienced this before. How many people had died to unify the Innerverse and Outerverse?
How many people had submitted to him?
As his cultivation grew, the powerhouses that he had once looked up to had all been trampled beneath his feet.
How long had it been since he had first met Tiandou?
With a clang, the prison door closed, and Lu Yin left. Tiandou had completely disappeared.
Those who had colluded with the Everlasting Tribe and betrayed humanity had to die. Another figure appeared on Tiandou's platform.
Back then, Lu Yin had tried to rely on his first Origin Tribulation to challenge a Half-Ancestor, but he had suffered a backlash. Back then, a Half-Ancestor had been too high a level for him to challenge. Not to mention a Half-Ancestor, he might not even have been able to challenge a powerhouse with a power level of a million. However, things were different now. His strength had increased by leaps and bounds, and challenging Tiandou was no longer a problem. His next step would be to challenge a Half-Ancestor.
Outside the prison, Silver stood calmly, his smile no longer present.
Lu Yin walked out, and Silver turned to face Lu Yin with a smile. "Congratulations, Captain."
"What are you congratulating me for?
He doesn't know where Hei Wushen is, so he didn't gain anything. "
Silver smiled. "Captain, are you willing to return my severed finger to me?"
Lu Yin looked at Silver. "You want to return it?"
"That depends on whether Captain will return it or not."
Lu Yin looked past Silver and into the darkness of outer space. "Give me a reason. Right, Tiandou can give you both his right arm and both his legs."
Silver's eyes widened, and they turned bone-chilling. "That's why I want to congratulate Captain for obtaining the Death God's Left Arm."
Lu Yin smiled. Within the Specter Clan, only Tiandou and Silver knew about the Death God's Left Arm. Not only did they know about it, but they also had a use for it.
Tiandou had been researching bone grafters in a vain attempt to use their innate gift to transplant the Death God's Left Arm. Before that, his experimental subject had been Silver, and Silver's severed finger had contained a portion of the Death God's phalanx.
Tiandou had been found because Silver had given the phalanx to Destiny's Daughter. Through Silver's severed finger, Destiny's Daughter had found the complete Death God's Left Arm and confirmed Tiandou's whereabouts.
Lu Yin had figured everything out, and he was worried for Destiny's Daughter. If it hadn't been the Death God's Left Arm but the complete Death God, or if she had divined that severed finger instead of Tiandou, then she would have been in trouble. The Death God was no ordinary Progenitor.
Right now, he wasn't sure if Destiny's Daughter had divined the Death God. Perhaps she had, and perhaps she hadn't.
When he found out that Tiandou had the Death God's Left Arm, many things made sense. For example, Silver had visualized the Death God, which had shocked Jue Yi, because he had the phalanx.
"You hid it from me for a while. If I hadn't found out that Tiandou was colluding with Hei Wushen, I would have attacked him. How much longer did you plan on hiding the Death God's Left Arm from me?"
Lu Yin asked.
Silver replied, "Captain, do you need to know?"
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed.
Silver smiled. "To Captain, the Death God's Left Arm is just a part of the corpse. Captain has the complete Death God's legacy. Even if I gave you the left arm, would you use it?
Or do you want to learn from Tiandou and research bone grafters to transplant a left arm? "
Lu Yin suddenly reached out and grabbed Silver by the throat, lifting him into the air. This wasn't the first time he had done this.
Silver's smile froze, and he couldn't react. He couldn't breathe, and there was a tyrannical force attacking his body. He wanted to cough up blood, but he couldn't and could only swallow it down.
"I'm warning you, it's not up to you to decide for me whether it's useful or not. You don't have the right to decide for me.
This is the last time. If you hide anything from me again, I'll make you suffer the same fate as Tiandou. "Lu Yin's tone was icy as he casually tossed Silver away. A huge force smashed Silver's body into the ground, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked rather wretched.
"Tiandou's corpse is yours," Lu Yin said before leaving.
Silver lay on the ground. Although he was in a miserable state, his smile was still there, and it had become even more radiant because of Lu Yin's last sentence.
Through Tiandou's memories, not only did Lu Yin know about the Grim Reaper's left arm, but he also knew where the Specter Clan's resources were stored. From his memories, the Specter Clan still had close to a hundred billion star essence. Although the Specter Clan did not cultivate star energy, they still needed star essence for many things. They had been able to store so much without letting Jue Yi know about it, which meant that they had long since made preparations.
Jue Yi had only been in this space-time for twenty years, and it had only been a short time since he had established the Undying Heaven's Gate. He had not used a large amount of star essence yet, or else he would have definitely thought of a way to take away all of the Specter Clan's resources.
Now, it was Lu Yin who had benefited from it.
There were close to a hundred billion star essence, and Tiandou had given him fifty billion star essence when he had joined Lu Yin. His sincerity was not small, and it was clear that Tiandou had not thought of betraying Lu Yin. However, the world was unpredictable, and Tiandou had never been a loyal person, which was why he had ended up like this.
The Specter Clan's resources were hidden in their own world, and Lu Yin had to go to the Neoverse to obtain them. Now, he was going to meet up with Senior Qing Ping and head to the Cosmic Tree Realm together.
At the same time, news of the Death God's Left Arm spread. Lu Yin had purposely spread the news in order to create the illusion that he was in seclusion.
The Death God was a legendary existence. Twenty years ago, before the cultivators from the Era of Above Heaven had appeared, the Death God's existence had not been acknowledged. Now, even though the Death God's existence had been confirmed, his level was far too high, especially when compared to those who cultivated death energy.
Lu Yin was the most authentic successor of the Death God.
Now that he had obtained the Death God's Left Arm, the first thing he had to do was go into seclusion.
In the Astral Beast Domain, Jue Yi was shocked when he heard the news. "The Death God's Left Arm?"
"Yes. Many people now know that the six Half-Progenitors went to the Astral Wilderness to capture Tiandou and almost died because he used the Death God's Left Arm. If not for his low cultivation, he would not have been captured at all. Now, the Death God's Left Arm is in Lu Yin's hands." On the other end of the wireless gu was a man who had also come from the Era of Above Heaven and cultivated death energy. He was much more loyal to Jue Yi than the Specters, and Jue Yi trusted him more.
Jue Yi's expression turned ugly. "Impossible! How could the Death God's Left Arm have fallen off?"
"Sect Master, the news has been confirmed. Tiandou's four limbs are missing from the prison, and Half-Progenitor Kui Luo can't hide anything. The news is definitely true."
"What about the Daozi?"
"The Daozi is in seclusion."
Jue Yi took a deep breath. Had Lu Yin really obtained the Death God's Left Arm?
Then it was normal for him to go into seclusion.
Tiandou had actually lied to Jue Yi. This person had always possessed the Death God's Left Arm, but Jue Yi had not known about it. If he had known, he would have been one step closer to breaking through to Ancestor. Tiandou, Tiandou … Jue Yi hated him to the core. It was a pity that Tiandou was dead. Otherwise, Jue Yi would have personally killed him and made him suffer for billions of years.
"Lu Yin is in seclusion?"
Hen Xin asked. He and Jue Yi were both in the Astral Beast Domain, keeping an eye on Jue Yi.
Jue Yi nodded. "If the Death God's Left Arm is real, then he would definitely go into seclusion to research it.....
