Mu Xie's voice rang out, "Little Junior Brother, did Master ask you to choose a battle skill?
“。
Lu Yin forcefully suppressed the sense of danger that threatened to overwhelm him. "Yes."
"What did you choose?"
Mu Xie asked.
"Nine Yang Cauldron Transformation."
Mu Xie nodded. "I've cultivated Tracing the Past."
"I know, because I'm the only one who has cultivated the Nine Yang Cauldron Transformation. I've been the only one since ancient times," Lu Yin replied.
Mu Xie had a profound look in his eyes as he said, "Actually, I chose the Nine Yang Cauldron Transformation. That name sounds very powerful, but unfortunately, my master said that I wasn't fated to learn it, so I was forced to cultivate it. But now, it seems like it's all thanks to me cultivating it. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to save you." He then looked at Xia Shenji and said, "I've never heard of anyone from the Xia family possessing the power of time. I'm very curious; how did you cultivate it?"
Xia Shenji's expression changed drastically as waves of shock surged in his heart. This person actually saw through his power of time?
Lu Yin was shocked. Time power?
Xia Shenji actually possessed the power of time?
Lu Yin suddenly thought of Progenitor Chen. Regardless of whether it was in the annals of history or in the legends, there were no records of Progenitor Chen cultivating the power of time. However, because he had cultivated in reverse, Lu Yin knew that in order for a peak Enlighter to reach the level of reversing spacetime, one had to be able to sense time itself. Progenitor Chen was able to do so, and from this point alone, Lu Yin guessed that Progenitor Chen possessed the power of time.
However, because there was no proof, he could only guess.
And now, Xia Shenji also had the power of time. He was almost certain that Progenitor Chen also had the power of time.
Time wasn't a power that could be cultivated through cultivation. Lu Yin's innate gift could be said to be the best in both ancient and modern times, but he still couldn't sense time. Even with Wendy Yushan's innate gift, he still couldn't sense time. If it weren't for the fact that he had upgraded Deadwood, he still wouldn't have been able to cultivate Inverse to the point where he could reverse time and space.
Ye Futian could not do it, and Xia Shenji should not be able to do it either. Time was an ethereal power. Ye Futian guessed that it was either an inheritance or a gift from the heavens. There were no other possibilities.
Xia Shenji had the power of time. Perhaps it was an inheritance. It was normal for Ancestor Chen to have mastered it as well.
In terms of bloodline, although Progenitor Chen was from a branch family, his bloodline was even purer than that of a direct descendant.
"A very strange way of using the power of time. Imprinting the shackles of time in a certain area is like a chain that can move things within the shackles, including people. It really is the style of the Divine Martial World," Mu Xie said.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. It was no wonder why he had been inexplicably left behind on the Caged Wyrm's back. Even the Mist Ancestor had not been able to understand what had happened. It turned out that it had been a Time Shackle. He looked down at the line beneath his feet. Was this the power of time?
Since that was the case, Lu Yin used the Inverse Step and reversed spacetime. In an instant, he saw the gray lines, which were indeed the power of time.
Unfortunately, his Reverse Step's influence on time was too weak, and he was unable to break free from the shackles of time.
If he took out the dead wood, he might be able to escape.
Although he had such thoughts, he did not do so. With Mu Xie around, the Time Shackles would not be able to trap him.
"You have also grasped the power of time?"
Xia Shenji was in disbelief, as they had all underestimated Mu Xie. Not only did this person possess the power to resist the Divine Martial Sword Region's Ancestral World, but he had also grasped the power of time. This person was comparable to the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, and he was definitely not an ordinary Progenitor.
Mu Xie smiled. "I was lucky." The rune lines beneath Lu Yin's feet returned to normal. He had broken through Xia Shenji's Time Shackles.
Xia Shenji's gaze towards Mu Xie completely changed. The blade formed above his head once again, and this time, it was even sharper than before.
This time, it was filled with killing intent, and Xia Shenji did not intend to hold back. Mu Xie had seen through his secret, and not only did he want to kill Lu Xiaoxuan, but he also wanted to eradicate Mu Xie.
The Xia family possessed the power of time, and this was a secret that not even the Lu family knew about. This secret could not be exposed.
Mu Xie raised his head. "I told you that you can't kill me." Then, the Demonic Relic's surroundings blossomed with radiance once more, illuminating both Mu Xie and Lu Yin in a golden color.
Xia Shenji's blade descended, and the Topmost Realm continuously cracked open. The blade pulled at the void and crushed the entire Topmost Realm.
Within the Topmost Realm, countless people cried out in fear as they looked up and saw the void shatter. They all saw a pure black color.
Xia Ziheng, Wu Yao, and the other Half-Ancestors trembled. The higher one's cultivation, the more they could sense how terrifying this blade was.
No one could block this blade, as it could pierce through the Topmost Realm and even the entire Astral Tree Realm.
Lu Yin felt that Xia Shenji had gone crazy, as this blade would kill countless people.
"Senior Brother!" Lu Yin could not help but shout.
Mu Xie clasped his hands behind his back and looked up at the Sovereign Realm. "They can't watch this any longer."
The next moment, strands of aura descended from above, causing Xia Shenji to pause. These auras came from the various ancestors in the Astral Tree Realm, including Bai Wangyuan and Wang Fan, the Lu family's ancestor, and even the Ghost Abyss' ancestor.
"Xia Shenji, are you crazy? Are you trying to destroy the Topmost Realm?"
Bai Wangyuan's voice traveled over. Although Xia Shenji could not see him, the entire Astral Tree Realm could hear him.
"Xia Shenji, withdraw your blade." This was Wang Fan's voice.
"The Topmost Realm cannot withstand this blade." This was the Dragon Ancestor's voice.
"Heh, I don't care about the Topmost Realm, but don't involve the Central Realm." This was the Lu family's ancestor.
"My Liu family is right below this blade. Xia Shenji, do you want to destroy my family?"
This was the Liu family's ancestor.
"Come down! I, Ghost Abyss, will help you rebuild the Topmost Realm! Hahahaha!"
Lu Yin heard the voices of the various ancestors in the Astral Tree Realm. Some of them were dignified, some were calm, and some were gloating over Xia Shenji's misfortune. Ancestor Ghost Abyss, in particular, was eager to see Xia Shenji's blade fall.
However, Lu Yin cared about Ancestor Ghost Abyss the most. Which side was that old man on?
Xia Shenji's blade froze, and he looked at Mu Xie unwillingly. In the end, he did not bring it down. It wasn't that he did not want to, but with so many ancestors watching, especially Bai Wangyuan, Wang Fan, and the Dragon Ancestor, there was no way they would allow him to use this attack. It would be too damaging to the Four Cardinal Scales.
In the end, Xia Shenji pulled his blade back, but his killing intent did not dissipate. "Lu Xiaoxuan must die."
"Mu Xie, move aside," Bai Wangyuan said.
Wang Fan then said, "Last time, you disguised yourself as Long Qi and caused trouble at Dragon Mountain. This time, you disguised yourself as Yu Hao and caused chaos in the Astral Tree Realm. Lu Xiaoxuan, you must die."
"Mu Xie, move aside. This matter has nothing to do with you," the Dragon Ancestor said.
Xia Shenji sneered, "Mu Xie is Lu Xiaoxuan's senior brother. This person might also belong to the Lu family."
"What?"
Bai Wangyuan was shocked, "Mu Xie, you already sided with the Lu family?"
Mu Xie calmly replied, "No."
"Then why did Lu Xiaoxuan call you senior brother?"
Xia Shenji asked.
Lu Yin sneered, "Because our master is someone else."
His words silenced Xia Shenji, Bai Wangyuan, and the others.
"Who can teach?
Mu Xie, this Progenitor, who is your master?
Please come out and take a look, "Wang Fan said.
Lu Yin sneered, "Master is busy saving the human race. He doesn't have time to deal with ants like you."
"Hahahaha, you're right. You're all ants," the Agriculture Ancestor laughed.
Bai Wangyuan coldly asked, "What's your master's name?
Tell me, maybe he's an old friend. "
Mu Xie looked up, "He can't be an old friend. Master is older than your ancestors."
Lu Yin's face twitched. This was the truth, but why did it sound like an insult?
"Mu Xie, can you block my Four Way Scales' attack?"
Wang Fan asked coldly.
Mu Xie laughed, "Stop pretending. You're all stuck in the Sovereign Realm. Xia Shenji finally came down. Don't tell me you can appear now. If you do, I'll immediately run. How about it?"
"You're too arrogant. The Four Way Scales' foundation isn't something you can imagine. Regardless of whether you have a master or not, you …"
…
As he listened to the conversation between Mu Xie and the Four Way Scales' ancestor, Lu Yin looked at the battlefield behind him. Two black blobs had appeared there, and they were becoming clearer and clearer. Lu Yin's eyes narrowed, and he shouted, "The Everlasting!"
Xia Shenji also looked at the battlefield behind him, and his expression changed, "It's the Corpse God again! He's trying to overturn Limitless Energy!"
As soon as he spoke, the Topmost Realm trembled — no, the Mother Tree trembled. The tremors spread throughout the Topmost Realm, the Middle Realm, and the Lower Realm. The Middle Realm's ocean surged with waves, and the mountains split apart while cities collapsed.
"Mu Xie, help us suppress Limitless Energy!" Wang Fan shouted.
Mu Xie looked at Xia Shenji, "You go too."
Xia Shenji was unwilling.
"Mu Xie!" Bai Wangyuan shouted.
"Xia Shenji, there's a problem with the area you're suppressing," the Agriculture Ancestor said.
Xia Shenji gritted his teeth and looked deeply at Lu Yin. He took a step forward, and the Divine Martial Sword Domain suddenly disappeared. The entire region of space changed back to its original state, and without the Progenitor's pressure, Lu Yin heaved a sigh of relief.
"Junior Brother, you have to go on your own. The bigger picture is more important, and nothing can happen to Limitless Energy." With that, the evil sarira in front of Lu Yin disappeared as well.
Lu Yin looked at the battlefield behind him and saw the Corpse God's giant eyes staring at the Topmost Realm. He had seen this scene the first time he had followed Superintendent Cleardust to the Topmost Realm, and now he was seeing it again. However, he had never expected that these eyes would come from the Corpse God.
Was the Corpse God helping him now?
They wanted him to escape from the Astral Tree Domain and start a war between the Fifth Mainland and the Four Libras. This was an overt scheme of the Eternals, but he still had to follow it.
Lu Yin stared at the Corpse God, who seemed to be staring at the entire Topmost Realm. However, Lu Yin had a feeling that the Corpse God was actually staring at him.
He had to leave immediately, or else it would be difficult to leave once more experts from the Four Libras appeared. Right, he had to bring Savage Blade away.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Lu Yin's mind. No, why was Savage Blade here?
No matter how anxious Xia Shenji was, he shouldn't have left Savage Blade here. Senior Mu Xie was protecting Lu Yin, but he wouldn't protect Savage Blade. Xia Shenji could have easily taken Savage Blade away.
Lu Yin's breathing stopped, and he immediately rushed towards the edge of the Topmost Realm. He hoped that he was overthinking things.
