Lu Yin grunted as blood trickled down the corner of his mouth. He had only borrowed Progenitor Chen's strength, but that did not mean that he was Progenitor Chen. Even Progenitor Chen would not be able to defeat Xia Shenji so easily.
After so many years, Xia Shenji's power had continued to grow, and even the Fog Ancestor was amazed by his strength. Furthermore, the power that Progenitor Chen had left behind was from the Daosource Sect's era.
The Ancestral World was fighting against the Ancestral World, and the Divine Martial Saber Domain was constantly being torn apart. Countless saber edges were being shattered, and the starry skies of the Fifth Mainland were being torn apart.
The countless cultivators and giant beasts of the starry sky that had gathered were aghast. What kind of mighty power was this?
Even the shockwaves alone could destroy them.
Fate Girl, Lu Buzheng, and the others were shocked. This power was extremely strong even in the Above Sky Sect, so how could Lu Yin's enemy be so powerful?
Elder Gong was worried. He had seen Sirius shatter. Would Progenitor Chen's power be exhausted by that brat?
Lu Yin was worried as well. He stepped on the stars of Sirius, but they shattered one by one. Xia Shenji was fighting like a madman. Lu Yin was injured, but so was Xia Shenji. The stars of Sirius exploded, and the Divine Martial Sword Domain shattered as well.
But Xia Shenji didn't give up. "Xia Shang, come out! Get the hell out here!" roared Xia Shenji. His Divine Martial Saber Domain spread out, trying to find Xia Shang.
Lu Yin gritted his teeth, as he knew that he couldn't continue like this. Even if Xia Shenji was crippled, he would be crippled, and with the power that Progenitor Chen had left behind, it was unlikely that he would be able to cripple Xia Shenji.
Not to mention Bai Sheng in the distance.
As he thought about it, he immediately took out the Death God's Left Arm and tried it out. He grasped half of the Gou Lian in the Death God's Left Arm, and in that instant, he seemed to see the starry sky come to a standstill as time flowed by. He saw a familiar figure walk out of the river of time and overlap with him as he grasped the Gou Lian. It was the Death God.
Lu Yin could no longer control himself as his body overlapped with the Grim Reaper's phantom. The Grim Reaper was him, and he was the Grim Reaper.
Gou Lian slowly raised his hand. What he guided out was not only the Death Qi in his left arm, but also Kun Ze.
At this moment, the Divine Martial Sword Region clashed with Sirius Shen.
At this moment, countless people felt fear and despair as they felt the power of the heavens.
At this moment, even Bai Sheng was retreating.
At this moment, Caged Flood Dragon covered his head and kept retreating.
At this moment, Lu Yin could not control himself, but his body was still moving as he lifted Gou Lian.
At that moment, Kun Ze's deathly aura surged. Then, it transformed into a black beam that crossed the Cosmic Sea and the Innerverse, connecting to the Endless Weaves. The deathly aura crossed the starry sky and was drawn out by Gou Lian. It slashed toward Xia Shenji.
Xia Shenji's expression changed drastically. The power of the Grim Reaper appeared. The Gou Lian slashed horizontally. A beam of black light flashed, and the Death Qi disappeared. It was as if nothing had happened.
Only the Divine Martial Blade Domain had been cut in half. Xia Shenji spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes bloodshot. "Grim Reaper?"
Lu Yin looked on in shock. A single attack had consumed all of the death energy in the Kun's Swamp. He did not know how the Death God had done it, but this was a slash that transcended time itself.
The Divine Martial Blade Domain disappeared, and Bai Sheng appeared behind Xia Shenji. He grabbed Gou Lian and wanted to leave, as it would be too late if he didn't. He was afraid that Gou Lian would launch a second attack. He wasn't as resilient as Xia Shenji, and if it were him, he would die from the first attack.
Only a powerhouse at the level of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas could survive this attack.
Xia Shenji and Bai Sheng left, and the Kun's Swamp's death energy had been completely exhausted. Lu Yin could move again, and he hurriedly recalled the Grim Reaper's left arm. He looked at Gou Lian with a shocked expression that lingered on his face for a long time. Gou Lian had actually fused with the Grim Reaper to unleash an attack that had heavily injured Xia Shenji.
In that moment, he had felt something strange. It was not just the power of the death energy, but also time. He had felt the river of time. When one's strength reached a certain level, did it mean that one could cross the river of time without needing to cultivate?
He could not figure it out, but he had felt it.
Lu Yin felt a wave of dizziness, and he hurriedly dispelled the summon. The death energy in his body was almost completely exhausted, and he could not summon Er Chi at all.
The Hellwyrm carefully watched him from afar. Lu Yin's Stars of Sirius and Gou Lian's slash had frightened it, and it instinctively felt that it should not approach him.
Lu Yin recalled Gou Lian and sighed. This battle was over, and Progenitor Chen's Stars of Sirius had been greatly exhausted. Fortunately, he had been able to heavily injure Xia Shenji with the Grim Reaper's Slash, or else he would not have been able to stop that madman.
If he had faced Bai Wangyuan or Wang Fan instead of Xia Shenji, Lu Yin believed that they would not have fought him to the death. Xia Shenji could only blame himself for having too much enmity with Xia Shang.
Xia Shang had even stolen Xia Shenji's Mountains and Seas. In the words of the Xia family, Xia Shenji was not fated to inherit the Mountains and Seas, and it was not that he was unwilling. In reality, how could Xia Shenji not want to inherit the Mountains and Seas?
No matter how powerful he was, he was still not Nine Mountains and Eight Seas.
Lu Yin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and waved at the Hellwyrm, who carefully approached him.
Lu Yin stood on its head and headed towards where the cultivators were gathered.
He quickly arrived.
Countless cultivators and astral beasts stared at the Hellwyrm's enormous body, their gazes filled with worship and fanaticism.
Although they had not been able to see the battle just now, they could imagine the destructive power that had been unleashed. The might of a Progenitor who could casually destroy a universe changed their perception of Lu Yin once again.
Nothing could increase one's prestige more than defeating a Progenitor.
At this moment, there was no hatred or jealousy in the cultivators' eyes, only fanaticism, worship, and reverence.
"I know what you're all thinking," Lu Yin said as he faced all the cultivators.
At the front was a group of Half-Ancestors, followed by Envoys, Enlighters, Hunters, Cruisers, Explorers, and countless astral beasts.
Most of these cultivators were from the Fifth Mainland, but there were also many from the Sixth Mainland.
Lu Yin's lips curled up in the face of countless fanatical and reverent gazes. "That's right. The enemy just now was a Progenitor."
Countless cultivators held their breaths. Progenitor was an unreachable realm, and it was clearly the end of their cultivation. It was their goal, but they would never be able to reach it.
"I defeated a Progenitor, but that's not what you think. Progenitor is a synonym for invincibility, but that doesn't mean that I'm truly invincible." Lu Yin looked at everyone. "Do you know what realm I'm at?"
"Third Origin Tribulation. I'm only at the third Origin Tribulation, yet I managed to beat back the Ancestor.
The cultivators were shocked once again. Three Origin Tribulations could defeat a Progenitor? Not even biographies would dare to write such a thing.
"I can tell you that our future enemies will be Progenitors, but do you need to be afraid?
Is there anything to be afraid of?
Because there's me, Lu Yin. Three Origin Tribulations can defeat a Progenitor, and when I become a Half-Ancestor, I can kill a Progenitor. With me leading the way, do you need to be afraid? "
"No," someone said.
Lu Yin's eyes went wide, and the Caged Wyrm roared as Progenitor power swept out. This power made it difficult for the cultivators to breathe, but it was also a power that protected them. "Do you need to be afraid?"
"No!" More cultivators shouted.
More people shouted.
"Do you need to be afraid?"
"No!" All the cultivators shouted. Even Jiu Yao, Cai 'er, Lu Buzheng, and the other Half-Ancestors were shouting as well. They formed a momentum that dared to charge and bite even a Progenitor.
Outside the Technocracy's New Sky Corridor, Bai Sheng walked out with Xia Shenji. Xia Shenji was heavily injured, and aside from the injuries he had received from fighting Sirius Chen, his biggest injury was on his abdomen. There was a lacerating wound that had almost cut him in half, and there was also a deathly aura around it that prevented it from healing. Even Xia Shenji's Progenitor power could not heal it.
Xia Shenji panted heavily, and every time he breathed, he spat out blood that was tinged with a black deathly aura.
Bai Sheng smiled bitterly as he looked at the Endless Weave. He could hear the countless cultivators shouting, and he could feel the unstoppable momentum. "The successor of the Lu Family is really ruthless."
Xia Shenji's expression was gloomy as he looked at the Endless Weave. He had thought that he would definitely be able to kill Lu Xiaoxuan, even if he had to get injured. Who would have thought that Lu Xiaoxuan would use Xia Shang's strength? Xia Shang, Xia Shang … The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Xia Shang was the Xia Family's greatest pain. He was from the same generation as Xia Shang, and they were almost the same age.
When he was young, he was from the main branch of the Xia Family, while Xia Shang was from a side branch. Back then, Xia Shang had only been his sparring partner, and he had even fought for the right to be his sparring partner. However, things had changed. After his parents had died, Xia Shang had used the Nine Clones Technique. He had used the Nine Clones Technique to fight in the starry sky. He had defeated all his peers, and Xia Shang had defeated him.
After that, he had lost the right to compete with Xia Shang. He hated and envied Xia Shang.
Therefore, when the Mist Ancestor had appeared in the Starry Sky of the Trees, he had used the Divine Sword Domain just to let the Mist Ancestor compare his strength with Xia Shang's. He wanted to surpass Xia Shang, but just then, Xia Shang's Sirius Stars had appeared. He had gone crazy and wanted to destroy them, not allowing any of Xia Shang's power to appear, no matter the price.
In the end, he had resisted Xia Shang's Sirius Stars, but had been heavily injured by the Grim Reaper's power.
"Senior Shenji, let's go back. I'll guard this place," Bai Sheng advised. Xia Shenji couldn't do anything in his current state.
He was also panicking. This was too strange. An Emissary could not only summon Progenitors, but also use Progenitor's power to enslave Progenitors. In the end, he had even used the Grim Reaper's power. Bai Sheng was terrified, and he didn't want to do anything.
To outsiders, Progenitors were like immortals, but only after reaching this level would they realize that Progenitors were also humans. They could die, and they were afraid of death.
Xia Shenji was unwilling, but he still returned to the Starry Sky of the Trees. "Guard this place. If Lu Xiaoxuan tries to destroy the New Sky Corridor, tell him that we'll slaughter the remaining members of the Lu Family."
Bai Sheng's expression became bitter. How could he say that?
Wouldn't that make him offend Lu Xiaoxuan?
He wasn't afraid of an Emissary, but Lu Xiaoxuan was too strange. This kind of person could even defeat two Progenitors. What couldn't he do? He was too strange, and Bai Sheng didn't want to offend him.
Hopefully, Lu Xiaoxuan wouldn't come.
Xia Shenji returned to the Sovereign Realm, which was soon shaken. Bai Wangyuan and the others all looked at the injured Xia Shenji in disbelief.
They could accept that Lu Xiaoxuan had used all kinds of power to defeat Xia Shenji, but they couldn't accept that Xia Shenji had been injured so heavily. This was impossible, as Xia Shenji was on the same level as them.
The Mist Ancestor and Mu Xie had both come out. They hadn't expected this.
