Lu Yin stood in outer space and looked at the place where Blackless God had been torn apart. Preserve it for 100,000 years?
A chance?
A chance to transcend reincarnation?
What did that mean?
What was the truth of this universe?
Lu Yin wanted to know more and more.
He would only be able to find out once he reached the Progenitor realm!
He muttered to himself for a moment before heading towards Kun's Swamp again. Perhaps the Death God was the only way for him to find out the truth.
This time, Lu Yin moved very quickly and directly crossed through the void. With the speed of a Void God, he quickly saw Kun's Swamp.
Lu Yin rushed in and took out half of Gou Lian and the Death God's left arm, but there was no movement.
He was disappointed, as it seemed that Gou Lian's left arm was too full of death energy to summon the Death God.
A large figure walked over from the distance, and Lu Yin saw that it was the Hell Master.
When the Hell Master saw Lu Yin, he bowed respectfully. "Daozi."
Lu Yin nodded. Back when Kun's Swamp had been occupied by Jueyi, the Specter Race had submitted to him, and the Hell Master had been locked outside. It had been Lu Yin who had saved him and allowed him to leave.
After Tiandou's incident, Lu Yin had sent Jueyi to the Astral Beast Domain, and Elder Chan had sent the Hell Master back to keep an eye on the Specter Race members who had been declared innocent. Kun's Swamp was still under the control of the Hell Master, and Tiandou had been appointed as a general. There were no experts in the Astral Tree Domain who could surpass the Hell Master.
Besides the Hell Master, Green Tea was also present. She had been transformed by Jueyi's death energy and could be considered a pure Specter. However, she was filled with disgust towards the Specter Race and Jueyi, and she was willing to stay in Kun's Swamp to monitor them.
There was also Lord Pig.
When Lord Pig saw Lu Yin arrive, it dove into the swamp and did not dare to come out. Only its little tail wagged outside.
"Greetings, Daozi." The group of Specter Race cultivators and the former Kun's Swamp guards all bowed.
"No need for formalities," Lu Yin said as his gaze landed on the Hell Master. "Has Jueyi returned during this time?"
The Hell Master respectfully replied, "He hasn't."
Lu Yin nodded and looked at the huge castle in the distance. He could not help but laugh. "You've built it again. You really like this kind of building." He then took a step forward, passing the Hell Master and appearing inside the castle.
The Hell Overlord had absolutely no idea how Lu Yin had managed to cross over. How long had it been since he had first met Lu Yin?
It had only been a few decades at most, but Lu Yin had already disappeared so quickly that he couldn't even see his back.
He recalled the first time Lu Yin had come to the Earth Swamp. At that time, Lu Yin had wanted to cultivate battle force, but he had casually flung him away. Now, the Hell Overlord no longer dared to think about Lu Yin's cultivation level because his mounts were all Progenitor realm powerhouses.
Progenitor realm was a term that caused one's heart to tremble. Even in their dreams, they did not dare to imagine that it was actually his mount.
Once anyone thought of this, they would have a feeling that they could not go against it.
Inside the castle, Lu Yin sat quietly with Green Tea by his side. No matter how she'd felt about him in the past, she was now extremely respectful.
No one knew why the Hell Overlord had returned.
"Come, sit." He took out some wine. "This is what I treated you to before."
Back when the Hell Overlords had faced Lu Yin, they had laughed and cursed at each other. They had been rather carefree, and they had even casually sent Lu Yin flying. But now, in the same place, in the same pot of wine, they were no longer as casual as before.
Lu Yin smiled and splashed the wine at the Hell Overlord.
The Hell Master subconsciously opened his mouth and drank it.
"It's still the same as before," Lu Yin asked.
The Hell Overlord nodded. He could not taste anything at all.
"Have you ever come into contact with the Giant Army?"
Lu Yin suddenly asked, looking up at the Hell Overlord.
The Hell Overlord replied, "No."
Lu Yin did not ask why. Everyone had their own ambitions, and perhaps the Hell Overlord felt that he was the purest giant.
"Because of Progenitor Chen's bloodline, you were the only person in the Fifth Mainland who had cultivated battle force to the Warring States Realm. But times have changed, and that realm is no longer the peak of battle force. You can no longer keep up with the times," Lu Yin pointed out bluntly.
The Hell Overlord replied, "The times are not important to me. I just want to guard Kun 'Swamp."
Lu Yin shook his head. "Kun 'Swamp, even you can't guard it. If you run into someone like Jue Yi again, how will you guard it?"
Green Tea replied, "With a Daozi overseeing the heavens, that kind of thing will not happen again."
Lu Yin laughed and looked at Green Tea. "You've changed. You're not as cold as before."
Green Tea fell silent.
Lu Yin took out the bottle of Progenitor Chen's blood from his cosmic ring and opened it. A formless pressure filled Kun 'Swamp, and the Hell Overlord felt it the most. His blood was boiling, and he felt as if he could not control it.
He looked at Lu Yin in shock.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, and the blood flowed out of the bottle and flew towards the Hell Overlord. The Hell Overlord instinctively absorbed the blood, and his body turned red as steam rose from his body. An angry roar that seemed to come from ancient times caused a terrifying pressure to sweep out in all directions. It caused the Cosmic Sea to tremble as it swept towards the Innerverse.
Everyone in Kun 'Swamp was shocked.
Lu Yin had not expected the Hell Overlord to have such a huge reaction, but this was what he had hoped to see. He had not come to Kun 'Swamp just for the death qi, but also for the Hell Overlord.
He suddenly remembered that he did not necessarily need Ku Wei's bloodline to upgrade his blood. Anyone who had absorbed Progenitor Chen's bloodline could do the same. He could forget about the Giant Legion since they were separated by a layer, but this Hell Overlord was different. He had absorbed Progenitor Chen's bloodline from birth, and his bloodline was not necessarily any weaker than Ku Wei's.
Ku Wei was so small that he could only produce a tiny amount of blood, but the Hell Overlord was different. He was a true giant, and his blood flowed like a river.
This was Lu Yin's true goal.
Lu Yin watched the Hell Overlord's transformation and then left the castle with Green Tea and the others. Once the Hell Overlord finished absorbing Progenitor Chen's blood, his strength would soar. Lu Yin did not know what level he would reach, but he was looking forward to it.
Green Tea did not understand. "Daozi, what's going on?"
"It's nothing, just increasing his strength," Lu Yin replied.
In the distance, Lord Pig looked up at the castle and then buried himself again. This was too terrifying. That person had just arrived, but he had already caused the Hell Overlord to be in such a miserable state. This was too terrifying, too terrifying.
Above Kun 'Swamp, a furious roar exploded, and a seething power tore through the void. The castle was instantly shattered, and the Hell Overlord's body continued to expand and grow. He had originally been 30,000 meters tall, but now, he was 50,000 meters tall, and he was still growing. 70,000 meters, 100,000 meters, 120,000 meters, until he reached 150,000 meters.
His power level continued to rise as well.
Unfortunately, the Astral Source Universe had been devoured, so there was no origin tribulation. No matter how much the Hell Overlord's cultivation increased, he did not have the Astral Source, so he was not much different from before.
Just as Lu Yin thought that this was the end, the Hell Overlord's battle force surged and expanded, burning the void.
This was the Warring States Realm.
Originally, the Warring States Realm should have been a hundred kilometers long, which was the Hell Overlord's limit. But now, the range continued to expand: 250 kilometers, 500 kilometers, 2,500 kilometers, and finally, it stopped at 10,000 kilometers. This was the Hell Overlord's current limit.
The Hell Overlord's battle force had grown much stronger.
The Hell Overlord was excited when he felt the battle force surge, and he could not help but look down at Lu Yin. Lu Yin was also looking back at him, and when their gazes met, the Hell Overlord's heart turned cold. He felt as if his life was no longer under his control.
This person was clearly still a third tribulation cultivator, so why was he so terrifying?
"Congratulations, you've successfully broken through. Once the Astral Source Universe recovers, you'll be a powerhouse with a power level of a million," Lu Yin praised.
The Hell Overlord exhaled, and his body continued to shrink until it was the same size as before. He then bowed respectfully to Lu Yin. "Thank you, Daoist."
"Do you know whose blood that is?"
Lu Yin asked.
The Hell Overlord was solemn. "Progenitor Chen's bloodline."
"That's right. I gave you Progenitor Chen's bloodline, which allowed your cultivation to soar. Shouldn't you repay me in kind?"
Lu Yin asked calmly.
The Hell Overlord did not understand. "What does the Daoist like about me?"
Lu Yin smiled.
Not long after, Lu Yin appeared outside Kun 'Swamp and left in satisfaction.
The Hell Overlord had given him a considerable amount of blood, and with the giant's size and bloodline, even if he used his die's three pips, there should still be a considerable amount left for him to use.
He needed to accumulate enough Progenitor Chen's bloodline before cultivating his nine clones.
His next destination was the Astral River, where he wanted to see if he could dig up pyrolyte.
Of course, he could not do it by himself. If he wanted to dig up pyrolyte, he would have to find something bigger.
Lu Yin directly returned to the Above the Sky Sect, sat on the Hell Overlord's head, and kicked it awake. "What are you sleeping for? Let's go."
The Hell Overlord opened its eyes and was startled. It wanted to fly into a rage and threaten Lu Yin, but when it realized that it was Lu Yin, it shut its mouth and followed Lu Yin's instructions.
On this day, the people who were mining pyrolyte at the edge of the Astral River saw an unforgettable scene. A giant claw descended from the sky and reached into the Astral River, almost turning it upside down.
The Hell Overlord's strength was naturally not used to search for the sand at the edge of the beach, as the pyrolyte there had fused with the sand and was compressed to the extreme. It could only be picked up with the naked eye, and the Hell Overlord could not help with this. What Lu Yin wanted to do was reach the bottom of the Astral River and see what was there.
The Hell Overlord swung its claw down, but it did not catch anything. Countless grains of sand and all sorts of other things flowed out from the gaps between its claws. When it lifted its claw, there was nothing besides a wet claw and a few jumping fish.
"Again," Lu Yin ordered, and the Hell Overlord swung its claw down again before lifting it up again.
"Again."
One claw.
"Again."
One claw.
Just like that, the Hell Overlord swung its claws down again and again, constantly stirring up the Astral River and almost causing the Astral River Ark in the distance to capsize.
After many tries, the Hell Overlord still did not find any pyrolyte, but it did catch a giant fish between its claws that was almost as large as the Hell Overlord's claw. The Hell Overlord was quite large, and this fish's size was quite exaggerated. More importantly, this fish had the power of a Half-Progenitor, and a single swipe of its tail caused the Hell Overlord's claw to tremble.
Lu Yin told the Hell Overlord not to move and walked over to the claw to look at the fish in front of it.
The fish looked ordinary, but it was ridiculously large. When it saw Lu Yin appear, it opened its mouth and tried to bite him. Its two rows of sharp teeth were like mountains that emitted a foul stench.
Lu Yin frowned. "Can you understand what I'm saying?"
The fish kept opening its mouth to bite Lu Yin, but it was caught by the Hell Overlord and could not move. More importantly, it was not afraid at all.
Any creature that had not reached the Progenitor realm would be terrified by the pressure of a Progenitor, but this fish was not. It continued to struggle as if it could break free.
Lu Yin observed it for half a day and concluded that this fish did not have any intelligence.
