Gray energy circulated, and Xia Ziheng's movements paused. He had been about to unleash his inner world, but it had been forcefully disrupted, and he had been forced to reverse time and space.
Lu Yin could not attack while Xia Ziheng was in his inner world, but as long as his inner world did not envelop him, he could attack.
Even a Half-Ancestor would not be able to withstand this Reverse Step.
As he stepped forward, his body withered from its normal state. Xia Ziheng would not be the only one to attack, and the others could not hold themselves back either.
Sure enough, Sir Yu attacked. He had not expected that Xia Ziheng's inner world would not be able to take down Lu Yin, so he could only attack. The giant appeared once again and reached out to press down on Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was astonished, as everyone's inner world was different. Whether it was Xia Ziheng or Sir Yu, their inner worlds did not envelop him, but Lan Xian and Old Xue Gui's inner worlds did.
Lan Xian and Old Xue Gui's inner worlds were definitely not as powerful as Xia Ziheng's or Sir Yu's, but they could easily deal with someone like Lu Yin.
Once he was trapped in his inner world, Lu Yin's movements could not be concealed.
However, while Xia Ziheng's inner worlds were powerful, they could not do this.
Were these two options?
Lu Yin's eyes flickered.
In the Astral Tree Domain, there were many Half-Ancestors, and there were many opportunities for them to compete. There was also a battlefield on the other side that constantly faced life and death situations. Thus, they wanted to strengthen their inner worlds like weapons. On the other hand, there were only three Half-Ancestors in the Sixth Mainland, so there was no need to consider the power of their inner worlds.
The Fifth Mainland had someone like the Drunkard, who could envelop an area, and someone like Xia Ji, whose inner world was just a blade.
Regardless, it was fortunate that Xia Ziheng, Sir Yu, and the others could not envelop an area with their inner worlds. Otherwise, Lu Yin would not have had a chance.
Just as Lu Yin was thinking about this, he noticed that his surroundings had changed. White shadows appeared and wrapped around him.
His expression changed. Not good! There was another Half-Ancestor, and it was Half-Ancestor Chai. His inner world could envelop an area.
"It's not easy to reach this step. Lu Xiaoxuan, it's time to end this." Half-Ancestor Chai's voice rang out as the white shadows wrapped around him. At the same time, a giant fist descended from Sir Yu.
There was a thump as Lu Yin's body was struck and sent crashing into the ground. Xia Ziheng's blade descended. "Die!"
"Stop!" Half-Martial Ancestor Chai hurriedly stopped Xia Ziheng. A white shadow coiled around him and pushed Xia Ziheng away.
Xia Ziheng shifted his blade and looked at Half-Martial Ancestor Chai in dissatisfaction. "You want to save him?"
Half-Ancestor Chai said, "Lu Xiaoxuan can't die yet. There are still some things we need to ask him. Whether or not he was the one who captured Clan Leader Wang Zheng and Clan Leader Long Ke has yet to be determined. His appearance doesn't necessarily mean that he's related to that matter."
"Then let's capture him first." Sir Yu's huge palm pierced into the ground, intending to grab Lu Yin. Soon after, under everyone's shocked gazes, Sir Yu's palm broke.
He stared blankly at the ground, at his broken palm, as if he had seen the most inconceivable thing.
He wasn't the only one. Xia Ziheng, Half-Ancestor Chai, Wu Yao, and even the Culinary God, Xia Xing, and the others who were even further away were all dumbfounded. They had already been shocked many times today, but they had never been as shocked as they were at this moment. Even when Xia Ziheng had been injured by Lu Yin, they hadn't been as shocked as they were now.
Young Master Yu's severed hand was his inner world.
Beneath the ground, Lu Yin's gaze was blazing.
Astral rivers flowed around his body, as if a universe was revolving around him. This was the power of his heart, and as he took a step forward, this universe-like power instantly spread out. The black and white fog formed the shape, the Fatesand formed the core, and the astral source formed the shell. There were also two streams of energy revolving around him, one black and one white. Not only did this force push Sir Yu away, but it also caused Half-Ancestor Chai's inner world to become blank.
Half-Ancestor Chai's pupils shrank. "An inner … inner world?"
Xia Ziheng's face went pale. An inner world?
Impossible! How could a third tribulation cultivator have an inner world?
On this day, everyone who had witnessed this scene felt that it was impossible. However, no matter how impossible it was, this scene had still happened.
Lu Yin walked out of the ground step by step. In fact, he hadn't expected the power in his heart to be so strong. No, it should be said that it was tyrannical. It was incomparably tyrannical, as if it wanted to split the heavens and earth apart. Under this power, any other power would either be assimilated and absorbed or be pushed away. There was no second choice, and even a half-ancestor's inner world would be pushed away.
Back then, this power had received Chu Yuan's countless blade strikes from the Time Realm and had broken through the River Mavis's power. It had also dissolved the Divine Martial's astral qi in the Astral Tree Realm. There was nothing that this power could not break through. The only person that this power could not understand was Bai Xianer.
Aside from Bai Xianer, Lu Yin had never met a match for this power.
This was the first time that he had used this power to fight against a half-ancestor, and even a half-ancestor's inner world had been pushed away.
Lu Yin was currently in Half-Ancestor Chai's inner world, but this power had caused his inner world to become blank. Wherever he went, there would be a blank space.
No one could sense this more deeply than Half-Ancestor Chai. His inner world belonged to him, and he could sense every bit of it. The only thing missing was Lu Yin's region.
In fact, he could sense the power that existed in Lu Yin's region. It was a power that could not be invaded, and even his inner world was being invaded. No matter how much stronger he was compared to Lu Yin, he still felt powerless in the face of this power.
"Kill him! Kill him! You must kill him!" Half-Ancestor Chai's voice grew louder and louder until he was close to madness. His eyes were bloodshot. "Kill Lu Xiaoxuan! You must kill him! Otherwise, no one will be able to resist him in the future!"
Following Half-Ancestor Chai's crazed words, Xia Ziheng, Sir Yu, and even Wu Yao attacked at the same time. Their crescent rings slashed towards Lu Yin.
They no longer hesitated and used all the methods at their disposal. They only had one goal: to kill Lu Yin.
No matter how monstrous Lu Yin's previous performance had been, they had been able to accept it. Even if his performance had exceeded their expectations, they could still accept it. However, at this moment, they could no longer accept it. They could not accept that a cultivator with three Origin Tribulations could erupt with a power similar to his inner world. If this kid reached six, eight, or even a Half-Ancestor, just how powerful would he be?
They instantly thought of many things, such as Lu Yin's lockbreaking innate gift and the Realm Beyond Heaven trial. They had ten thousand reasons to kill Lu Yin, even if he was not a member of the Lu family. Such a person should not exist.
Lu Yin took a deep breath, as he was finally getting serious. He looked up in front of him and used the Reverse Step to take a step forward. Under the protection of the power in his heart, he could ignore Half-Ancestor Chai's inner world and reverse space-time. This caused Sir Yu, who was the closest to him, to pause in his attack. Following that, the black and white energy flowing above him turned into smoke and flowed into his body. Lu Yin instantly transformed into the Grim Reaper Transformation and raised his Gou Lian to slash at Sir Yu.
Mister Yu no longer dared to look down on Lu Yin. At this moment, Lu Yin gave off an aura of confidence.
At this moment, they felt an unprecedented pressure, even if this kid was only at three Origin Tribulations.
Tears flowed down the giant's holy face and formed a lake in the void that blocked the Gou Lian's attack. Lu Yin's attack was useless, and the crescent ring tore through the void behind him. Lu Yin turned around and used his white shield to block, but his body was sent flying with a bang.
Countless blades descended from above his head, and the chains around his body were torn apart by the blades.
His eyes turned into runes as he stared at the countless blades and then disappeared.
The blades only paused for a moment. Even with the Torch God's rune lines, which were comparable to a Half-Ancestor's, they were still unable to suppress Xia Ziheng's inner world.
It was difficult for these Half-Ancestors to deal with a single Half-Ancestor, let alone four of them.
Even though Lu Yin was having a hard time blocking them, the shock that he brought to the others would never be forgotten.
Who would have thought that someone with three Origin Tribulations could reach such a level? Not only had he challenged a Half-Ancestor, but he had also challenged four Half-Ancestors from the Four Cardinal Scales.
At this moment, no one spoke, as everyone was shocked.
Liu Que lowered his arm. He wanted to challenge the Four Young Ancestors, but he also wanted to challenge Lu Xiaoxuan, who had suppressed the Four Young Ancestors. However, the power that Lu Xiaoxuan had displayed left him in despair. Was this something that a human could achieve?
No one could answer Liu Que's question, not even the Progenitors.
Such a thing had never been recorded in history.
Qing Ping had once said that Mister Mu's criteria for accepting a disciple was for an Emissary to fight a Half-Ancestor, then a Half-Ancestor to fight a Half-Ancestor. Now, Lu Yin's performance had perhaps shocked even Mister Mu.
No one would ever forget this earth-shattering battle, as they had just witnessed history.
"Lu Xiaoxuan, you won't live." Wu Yao pushed the rainbow cloud away. It was similar to the clouds above the Frozen Immortal Sect, and anyone who approached it would experience a trial in Heaven's Beyond. Thus, the rainbow cloud could protect Lu Yin even against the attacks of Xia Ziheng and the other two Half-Ancestors.
This rainbow cloud had come from Bai Wangyuan, and it was a life-saving item that Bai Wangyuan had bestowed upon Wu Yao. Now that Lu Yin was facing such an inconceivable threat, Wu Yao had pushed it out.
Lu Yin used Reverse Steps to avoid most of Xia Ziheng's blades, but his left arm and leg were still struck. His body continued to recover from its withered state, and he once again activated Extreme Reversal. The rainbow cloud descended in front of him, and he rushed over without hesitation. He then tore it apart and stared at Wu Yao. He raised Gou Lian, and the Warring States Era suddenly erupted. The void boiled as the imprint on Gou Lian slashed down diagonally.
Wu Yao was still immersed in the scene of Lu Yin tearing apart the rainbow cloud, and he did not immediately react. Fortunately, a white shadow had dragged him away, and the void was split in two by Gou Lian's slash.
Lu Yin stared at Half-Ancestor Chai, who was even further away. If not for him, Wu Yao would have been struck. Although he might not have been severely injured, every bit of damage was worth it.
These Half-Ancestors had not only joined forces to deal with Lu Yin, but they had also begun to coordinate with each other, increasing their strength.
Blades whizzed over from all directions, and above him, tears flowed out from the inner world of Sir Yu's giant. It was as if the world had been turned upside down as it enveloped Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's left hand clenched tightly, and then he suddenly loosened it. His spiritual force suddenly erupted and swept out in all directions.
The sudden burst of spiritual force caused even Half-Ancestors to faint. Lu Yin had been reciting the Primogenitor's Scripture for many years, and his spiritual force was not much weaker than Kui Luo's. Even Half-Ancestors found it difficult to withstand, especially Sir Yu, who had the weakest spiritual force resistance, and the giant nearly collapsed.
Lu Yin took advantage of this opportunity to use Reverse Steps to leave.
