Since the people who had been executed were not from Red Garden, there was no need for Lu Yin to stay. Shenwu Plane had originally captured the remaining Lu family members to lure him here. As long as he escaped from the Astral Trees, those people would be fine unless they were certain that he had returned.
As long as he escaped from the Astral Trees, the Four Libras would definitely gather everyone he cared about to threaten him and force him to save them. However, he also had the Astral Trees Expeditionary Army, and they were both bargaining chips. As long as he could think of a way to lure more people to the Fifth Mainland, he would be able to capture as many as came. As long as he escaped this time, the initiative would still be in his hands.
No matter how powerful Bai Xianer was, she was just an ant against Lu Yin, who could borrow Progenitor Chen's strength. Lu Yin did not believe that she could resist Progenitor Chen's power. The Fog Ancestor had only revealed a portion of his strength, which was why he could not do anything to her. As long as she dared to come to the Fifth Mainland, he would have to escape.
What he needed to do now was to escape, to escape from this starry sky, to escape in front of everyone in the Four Directions Scales.
"Lu Xiaoxuan, if you dare to escape, those remaining Lu family members will be hacked to pieces!" Xia Ziheng threatened Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked back, but he did not say anything. It was pointless to say anything now. As long as he escaped from the Astral Trees in front of them, they would not attack the remaining Lu family members. It would be meaningless since he could not see them, so what was the point of attacking them?
They would only gather all of the remaining Lu family members and wait for a showdown. They would not do anything pointless to vent their anger.
At that moment, a roar came from above and shook Shenwu Plane. Lu Yin, who had been fleeing, hurriedly stopped and covered his ears. He looked up and saw that the white fog had been torn apart, and the Fog Ancestor fell down. His face was pale. "How difficult to deal with. No wonder Xia Shenji wanted to use his ancestor's broken blade to suppress him." He then looked at Lu Yin. "Kid, are you going?"
"Yes," Lu Yin replied.
The Fog Ancestor's hands fluttered, and the fog above his head coiled around him like a rope that wrapped around the Caged Wyrm. "Let's go. We won't be able to trap him for long."
Lu Yin relaxed, as it was fine as long as they could escape.
"You're underestimating my Shenwu Plane too much. We're one of the Four Libras, and you think you can escape just because you want to?" Xia Ziheng's voice rang out. Following that, the chains that had been rising from the ground broke free from the fog's restraints and swung towards Lu Yin and the Mist Ancestor.
The Mist Ancestor frowned. "If you can trap the Hellwyrm, then you won't be able to stop the sourcebox array at Shenwu Plane. Kid, give me that needle of yours."
Lu Yin took out a needle and handed it to the Mist Ancestor.
He had upgraded this needle twice. The first upgrade had consumed a hundred billion crystal essences, which was enough to break through a Half-Martial Ancestor's inner world. Wang Si had been severely injured before, and the second upgrade on the Junior Progenitor Planet had consumed 460 billion crystal essences to allow the Mist Ancestor to display the Progenitor's power. This needle now had the strength to resist Progenitors.
The Mist Ancestor took the needle, and the mist shuttled back and forth like threads as he controlled the needle to fly past. It directly pierced through the chains and broke a large section of the chain. The chain then smashed into the ground, crushing several large mountains.
The people of Divine Martial Heaven hurriedly fled. They were shocked. That was the sourcebox array that protected Divine Martial Heaven, yet it had actually been broken.
Xia Ziheng couldn't believe it either. His face was pale as he gritted his teeth.
"Can you make them stay?" Young Master Yu asked in a deep voice.
Xia Ziheng coldly replied, "Yes."
Chains shot out from the ground. These chains were all manifested from the sourcebox array and were made from extremely rare materials. Each chain had the strength to bind a Half-Martial Ancestor, but under the Mist Ancestor's flying needles, the chains broke apart and crashed to the ground. This scene had never occurred in Divine Martial Heaven before.
Even when the Lu family had established the Fifth Mainland, Divine Martial Heaven had been an existence second only to the Lu family. Whether it was on the Fifth Mainland or in the Cosmic Tree Realm, Divine Martial Heaven's main gate had never been destroyed in such a manner.
Lu Yin grew anxious, and he looked up at the Sovereign Realm. He was afraid that Xia Shenji and the Four Way Scales' Forefather would appear, as they definitely knew what had happened here.
He had thought that there wouldn't be many chains left, but the Mist Ancestor's flying needles had already broken more than a hundred of them. There were still more chains shooting out from the ground, blocking their path.
Another roar sounded out, and the Mist Ancestor's expression changed. "Not good! That beast has escaped."
Lu Yin's expression turned ugly, and he retrieved a pair of slippers from his cosmic ring and handed them to the Mist Ancestor. "Senior, use this."
The Mist Ancestor glanced at the slippers, gritted its teeth, and accepted them with a look of disdain. "After this battle, you'll have to compensate me for my mental damage." After that, it ascended into the heavens, lifted the slippers, and swung them at the Hellwyrm.
The Hellwyrm did not care about the Mist Ancestor's attack at all. During its battle with the Mist Ancestor, the Hellwyrm had been on the offensive while the Mist Ancestor had been on the defensive. Now that the Mist Ancestor had suddenly attacked, the Hellwyrm did not even care. Then, the Hellwyrm's head was smacked by the slippers, and the world-shaking roar that could shake the Topmost Realm suddenly stopped. It was as if something had been stuck in its throat.
Xia Ziheng and the rest stared blankly at the sky. The Hellwyrm looked as if it had been beaten silly. Its claws continuously extended and retracted, but it did not move at all.
Lu Yin gulped. The Mist Ancestor's attack had not been light.
When he had first obtained the slippers, he had used it on the Ancestral Turtle, and the Ancestral Turtle had almost cried. Even though the Ancestral Turtle was not a Progenitor, the power of the slippers had been enough to show. This time, the slippers had been used on a Progenitor, and Lu Yin did not even dare to imagine what it would feel like.
The Mist Ancestor held the slippers and curiously sized up the Hellwyrm. She blinked. Had the Hellwyrm fainted?
The Shenwu Plane was silent.
The Mist Ancestor was so happy that she had fainted. She hurriedly looked for Lu Yin. "Let's go."
Chains appeared from all directions, and Lu Yin could not understand where the Shenwu Plane had gotten so many chains.
One of the chains did not attack them, and instead, it lashed out at the Hellwyrm.
Neither Lu Yin nor the Mist Ancestor noticed.
Then, the chain struck the Hellwyrm's head. The Hellwyrm quivered, and it suddenly woke up. It subconsciously touched its head with its claws, and its eyes were dazed at first. But then, it seemed to remember something, and its eyes turned red as it suddenly glared at the Mist Ancestor. It was furious. It had been beaten silly by the slippers, and it felt like a normal person who had been slapped. The humiliation and anger that it felt surged uncontrollably.
The Mist Ancestor was shocked. "Why is it awake?"
"Senior, go hit it again."
"It might not work, but I'll try." The Mist Ancestor then soared into the sky and lashed out at the Hellwyrm.
The Hellwyrm had learned his lesson this time, and he stared at the slippers in the Mist Ancestor's hands. He could not allow himself to be hit.
Without the Mist Ancestor, Lu Yin could not leave the Shenwu Plane at all. Chains surrounded him from all directions, trapping him like a wall.
"Lu Xiaoxuan, I told you that you can't escape even with the help of a Progenitor. You deserve to die!" Xia Ziheng attacked, and countless blades descended. Sir Yu, Wu Yao, and Half-Ancestor Chai all attacked together.
The Food God watched on with a complicated expression. He wanted to help Lu Yin and return the favor, but there was nothing he could do. This was the Shenwu Plane, and even a Progenitor could not escape.
Bang!
Lu Yin.
After being struck by Sir Yu's fist, Lu Yin's body recovered once more. He continued to circulate the Extreme Matter Reverses technique, but he also continued to recover from the attacks of the four Half-Ancestors.
Finally, the Extreme Matter Reverses technique reached its limit. When Lu Yin was struck by the crescent moon, his body recovered, and he could no longer wither. The Extreme Matter Reverses technique was not invincible, and the difference between him and a Half-Ancestor was too great. A casual attack from a Half-Ancestor would be able to reach the limit of his body's endurance, let alone four Half-Ancestors.
Time after time, the Extreme Matter Reverses technique accumulated a huge amount of energy within his body. After the final recovery, Lu Yin suddenly looked up and took a step forward, reversing space-time as the Acalanatha King's Image appeared above his head. He appeared in front of Half-Ancestor Chai and punched out. This punch contained the energy that he had accumulated from the Extreme Matter Reverses technique. The Acalanatha King's Image was accompanied by the power of the Warring States Domain and the Grim Reaper Transformation, as well as the power in his heart that could counteract a Half-Ancestor's inner world.
This punch was the strongest punch that Lu Yin could unleash.
This punch directly exploded Half-Ancestor Chai's head.
Everyone watched in shock as Half-Ancestor Chai's corpse fell from the sky. A dignified Half-Ancestor had died just like that.
No one had thought that Lu Yin would be able to kill a Half-Ancestor while being surrounded by four Half-Ancestors. This was impossible, and it was even more inconceivable than jumping realms to challenge a Half-Ancestor. There was a fundamental difference between a Half-Ancestor and a Third Tribulation Origin cultivator. Logically speaking, even if a Half-Ancestor just stood there and did not use his inner world, a Third Tribulation Origin cultivator should not be able to harm him in the slightest, let alone kill him.
However, Lu Yin had killed a Half-Ancestor without any suspense. Not only that, but the aftershock had also forced Sir Yu, who had been standing behind Half-Ancestor Chai, back, causing him to vomit blood.
Lu Yin's punch could have killed anyone present, but he had chosen to target Half-Ancestor Chai because his inner world had a great influence on him. He could not constantly release the power in his heart, and once that power dissipated, he would be powerless to retaliate.
Covered in Half-Ancestor blood, Lu Yin panted heavily as he stood in the void. There were still three Half-Ancestors around him, and at this moment, they were all looking at him with vigilance and apprehension, as well as a trace of undetectable fear.
Even though they were all Half-Ancestors, it was not that easy to kill another Half-Ancestor. However, Lu Yin had done it, which they could not understand.
However, this had also caused their killing intent to soar to an unprecedented level.
There was no need for any nonsense, and there was no need to say anything about killing Lu Yin. Xia Ziheng and the other two silently attacked Lu Yin. The more silent they were, the greater their killing intent. They could no longer afford to be distracted, and they did not even want to speak. They only wanted to kill Lu Yin and prevent future troubles.
At this moment, Lu Yin gave them the same feeling as the Lu family. That unparalleled strength would one day be able to control everything.
If they allowed Lu Yin to develop, then everything they had done before would be meaningless.
Three silent Half-Ancestors were terrifying, and Lu Yin's Reverse Step was difficult to use again. He had exposed too many techniques, such as Reverse Step, the power in his heart, Reverse Step, the Reaper's Transformation, the Aeon Evolution Scripture, and the Thirteen Swords. He had used all of his trump cards, including his sourcebox array, but the Flow Channeling Diagram could not disperse a Half-Ancestor's attack.
Half of Lu Yin's body had been torn apart by the half-moon ring, and blood sprayed into the sky as he crashed to the ground.
What power did he have left?
The Commander Appointment Platform?
The most powerful general, Tian Dou, and Nine Yang Cauldron Transformation?
The Nine Yang Cauldron Transformation was definitely the most powerful Yang technique, but it took too much time to use, and these three Half-Ancestors would not give him any time to use it.
Lu Yin supported himself with one hand as Xia Ziheng and the other two appeared in front of him with gloomy expressions. This was too difficult. Not only Lu Yin, but even these Half-Ancestors felt that this was too difficult. Who would have thought that it would be so difficult for them to deal with a cultivator with three Origin Tribulations?
