In the sky above the Yin Mountain District, everyone's eyes were focused on the Divine Seal Catalog.
A figure walked out from the Divine Seal Catalog under everyone's gaze. Lu Yin's pupils shrank; this was a Progenitor, but who was it?
The figure had one hand behind his back and the other in front of his chest. He was holding something that looked like a book as he calmly floated in the air.
Even though it was only a sliver of his strength that was being borrowed, the disposition of the other party was reminiscent of a scholar.
Wait, a scholar?
Lu Yin stared blankly ahead.
In outer space, Wang Fan's jaw dropped. "Progenitor of Literature, that's Lu Qi."
Bai Wangyuan and the rest were stunned. Lu Qi? Wasn't that Lu Xiaoxuan's father?
On Broken Star in outer space, Liu Yue was stunned as well. He recognized the Progenitor of Literature and Lu Qi; he had been there when Lu Qi had shamelessly sealed the Progenitor of Literature. This figure was all too familiar; it was Lu Qi who had borrowed the Progenitor's power. What the hell? A father hitting a son?
No, a son hitting a father?
Mu Xie also recognized the figure; it was Lu Qi. He looked at Lu Yin strangely; should he speak or not?
Although Lu Yin had never seen the Progenitor of Literature before and did not know how Lu Qi had borrowed the Progenitor's power, it did not stop him from guessing. This figure reminded him of the Progenitor of Literature, as it looked exactly like the portrait of the Progenitor in Yi Xian Academy.
The Progenitor of Literature … There was no need to guess; that humanoid was definitely his father, Lu Qi.
Only Lu Qi had sealed the Progenitor of Literature, but hadn't Lu Yin become a Progenitor of Literature when he was a half-step Progenitor?
This humanoid tribulation's power was at the peak of the Envoys.
Lu Yin gulped. Had he been beating up his father all this time?
"Junior Brother, be careful." Mu Xie saw Lu Yin's expression and knew that he had guessed it, so he reminded him.
Lu Yin sighed and smiled bitterly. It did not matter if this humanoid tribulation was his father or not; he would just fight. If he did not, he would be finished.
The problem was no longer the humanoid tribulation, but the Progenitor of Literature. Lu Yin was about to face a Progenitor.
No matter how confident Lu Yin was, he did not think that he could fight a Progenitor with his current strength. This was no longer a matter of crossing realms; it was a fundamental difference.
"If you can't win against a Progenitor, you can deal with the humanoid tribulation," the Mist Ancestor said.
Lu Yin nodded; this was the only way.
In the starry sky outside the Upper Realm, Xia Shenji's lips curled upwards as he laughed maniacally. "Interesting! My son is going to die at my hands! Hahahaha!"
Bai Wangyuan's expression relaxed. "Now that the Progenitor of Literature has appeared, Lu Xiaoxuan won't be able to defeat him no matter how strong he is. He's defeated this time."
Wang Fan, Ancestor Dragon, and even the Progenitor Realm experts outside the Upper Realm were all thinking the same thing. Some were sorrowful, some were mocking, and some felt a chill as they looked at the Stellar Source Universe.
Lu Xiaoxuan had drawn out such an impossible Origin Tribulation, but what about the others?
Would there be a similar Origin Tribulation?
Who could survive six Origin Tribulations against an Ancestor Realm expert?
That was impossible.
Or did Lu Xiaoxuan cultivate something?
Had he angered the Star Source Universe?
Lu Yin stared intently at Wen Zu and struck out with his palm. Of course, he wasn't attacking Wen Zu, but rather the humanoid tribulation origin. He had used all of his strength in this attack, as he wanted to shatter the humanoid tribulation origin.
However, no matter how fast the Empty Bright Palm was, it was not faster than the changes in the world.
The palm's force was stopped halfway, and words filled the sky. This was the Progenitor of Literature's Ancestral World, and no matter how fast Lu Yin was, he was still restricted by this world.
The Progenitor of Literature made a move, and he casually pointed out with his hand as words bombarded Lu Yin.
Lu Yin covered his entire body with Mastery Realm battle force, and when the first word landed on his back, he almost suffocated. Even his Mastery Realm battle force had cracked; the power of a Progenitor was not something he could withstand.
He immediately used the power in his heart to try and disperse the surrounding Ancestral World.
However, it was impossible. The power in his heart could disperse a Half-Ancestor's inner world, but it could do nothing to the Ancestral World.
The second word bombarded him, followed by the third and fourth. Countless words surrounded him like a curtain of rain.
This was a truly desperate situation, as just a few words were enough to seriously injure him. If all the words in the world descended, he would definitely be reduced to ashes.
Lu Yin regretted his decision, as he should have tried to become a God. With the Blood Progenitor and Mu Xie, if he could become a God, why would he need to be afraid of the Progenitor of Literature?
He had been too conservative, as he had originally planned to break through to the sixth Origin Tribulation before trying to become a God.
Back then, he had dared to challenge a Half-Ancestor during his first Origin Tribulation, and even though he had suffered a backlash, he still had the courage to try. Why was he afraid of becoming a God now?
Blood trickled down the corner of Lu Yin's mouth as he looked at the Progenitor of Literature, who was toying with him. He looked at the humanoid Origin Tribulation behind the Progenitor. Was he really unable to deal with it?
There was no such thing as absolute death in the universe, and any situation had a chance of survival. The Origin Tribulation was no exception.
Since the Progenitor of Literature had drawn him into such a desperate situation, he definitely had a way to get through it.
What was it?
The first thing that came to Lu Yin's mind was that when things reached an extreme, they would move in the opposite direction. Did the Progenitor of Literature exist in an extreme state?
He did not. The Undying God's wandering state was an extreme state, and time itself was an extreme state. In that case, could the Progenitor of Literature create an extreme state?
Lu Yin suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the humanoid Origin Tribulation.
The Progenitor of Literature's borrowed power could have easily defeated Lu Yin in an instant, but it had still attacked him. It was not that the Progenitor was showing mercy, but rather that it was limited by the humanoid Origin Tribulation. More accurately, the God Sealing Catalog's master could not truly display the power of a Progenitor.
The God Sealing Catalog was a Progenitor, but how could one become a Progenitor?
It was equivalent to fighting across realms, so there was bound to be a limit.
This meant that Lu Yin was facing an imperfect Progenitor, which meant that he still had a chance.
It was impossible to defeat a Progenitor, but he could create an opportunity.
Another rune struck Lu Yin's body, almost knocking him to the ground. He could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Everyone watched as Lu Yin struggled under the Origin Tribulation. He was facing six Origin Tribulations, which could be considered the most despairing since ancient times.
The Fog Ancestor could not help but look at the Origin Tribulation black hole; it was too ruthless.
Bai Wangyuan and the rest watched as Lu Yin coughed up blood. They constantly tried to avoid the runes, but they could not. Their expressions grew increasingly relaxed.
It was impossible to defeat a Progenitor unless one used external items. But how could one use external items under the Origin Tribulation?
Mu Xie frowned and slowly said, "Junior Brother, if you really can't do it, you can sever your own realm."
Lu Yin's gaze hardened. Severing one's own realm was equivalent to failing to pass the tribulation, and it would be even more difficult to pass it again. However, this was the only way to protect himself.
If he wanted to truly pass the sixth Origin Tribulation, not only would he have to sever his own realm, but he would also have to make three of his four Astral Origin Cyclones disappear, allowing him to return to being a normal cultivator. That way, the Origin Tribulation he faced would not be so abnormal.
But what was he relying on?
Lu Yin looked up as he continued to endure the constant barrage of runes. He coughed up blood, and his clothes were dyed red. Why was this Origin Tribulation trying to sever his path?
He continued to ponder, simulating various scenarios in his mind.
His battle force had already been shattered, and even his physical body was collapsing.
The power in his heart was also unable to resist the Progenitor's world. He stared at the humanoid Origin Tribulation in the distance and decided to go all out.
The Star Chessboard appeared beneath his feet and extended outwards, staring at the humanoid tribulation. Lu Yin wanted to move to the side of the humanoid tribulation so that he could directly attack it, but a series of runes blocked his path.
Xia Shenji sneered. "Using a secret technique in front of a Progenitor? What a joke."
The Star Chessboard cracked open, and only Lu Yin could see that his movements had been blocked. His eyes widened. "Star Chess, Retraction." If you can block my path, then I can also retract my move.
Lu Yin's movements affected the space around him, but that was normal. Wen Progenitor's actions also affected the space around him. Lu Yin used Retraction to repair Wen Progenitor's influence on the space around him, allowing the space to be repaired and the influence to return to the original path. This would allow him to retrace his original path and appear next to the humanoid Origin Tribulation.
This was using the principle of the Plan Secret Art, Retraction.
Lu Yin's body kept changing, going from moving to being blocked and then to being repaired. His body became blurry as he constantly endured the pressure from the changes in space, causing his physical body to begin to collapse.
With Retraction, he instantly approached the humanoid Origin Tribulation. Success!
Mu Xie, the Fog Ancestor, and the others watched on with wide eyes.
Just as Lu Yin was about to appear next to the humanoid Origin Tribulation, his gaze moved away once more as more runes appeared, blocking his path once more.
No matter how miraculous the Plan Secret Art was or how it repaired space, it could not be used in front of a Progenitor. This was because Lu Yin was facing a Progenitor, the peak of human cultivation.
Bai Wangyuan and the others understood Wen Progenitor, so they were not worried at all.
No matter what Lu Yin did, he could not break through Wen Progenitor's Progenitor's world.
Lu Yin's body began to crack at a visible rate, and he moved further and further away from the humanoid Origin Tribulation. Had he failed just like that?
Impossible. He raised a hand and struck out with a palm. This palm was not aimed at the humanoid Origin Tribulation, but rather at the runes. This was the meaning of "Things Move in the Opposite".
Things Move in the Opposite ". It could be used on any object or phenomenon in an extreme state, such as time or the Undying Deity's wandering state.
At this moment, Wen Progenitor had broken the Plan Secret Art, Retraction, and caused the repair of space to fail. He had surpassed his control over space, and this was also an extreme state. Lu Yin had been waiting for this moment. Wen Progenitor's world's extreme state on space was exactly the same as time's extreme state on withered trees.
When Things Move in the Opposite was used, the extreme state that had blocked the repair of space suddenly stopped.
Things Move in the Opposite was not a secret technique, but a Progenitor battle technique that had originated from the Withering Ancestor. Even the Undying Deity had not been able to avoid being knocked out of its wandering state, let alone Wen Progenitor.
When Things Move in the Opposite, it struck the runes, causing the runes to completely reverse the extreme state that had blocked the repair of space. Lu Yin instantly appeared next to the humanoid Origin Tribulation, and no one could react in time except for Lu Yin himself.
When he appeared next to the humanoid Origin Tribulation, he used all of his strength to strike out with a palm strike that viciously slammed into the back of the humanoid Origin Tribulation.
The unforeseen event had happened too quickly. It had only been a second since Lu Yin had used the Plan Secret Art to strike the humanoid Origin Tribulation. In that one second, space had changed multiple times, and Lu Yin himself had not been able to withstand it. His body had almost collapsed, and it was only now that Bai Wangyuan and the rest had realized Lu Yin's goal.
