Madman Lu pressed down on the platform above Lu Yin's head.
The entire treasury was filled with the power of nightmares, and E 'Chi and Nong Yi's phantom were unable to move.
Madman Lu was able to suppress both Lu Yin and Mu Xie by himself.
Mu Xie raised his head as a gray aura swirled around him. He waved his hand and struck out at Madman Lu.
The power of time was always great. Mu Xie's palm did not have much power, but it negated what had just happened. It was Madman Lu's visualization and the Primogenitor's Scripture that had caused his power to return to its original state.
Mu Xie took advantage of this opportunity to send his evil sarira crashing down on Madman Lu's body and pushing him underground.
Lu Yin quickly controlled E 'Chi to attack, and Progenitor rune lines descended at the same time, forming a giant blade that slashed down. This was a Progenitor's blade.
Outside the treasury, Bai Wangyuan and the rest were shocked. Mu Xie's use of time battle techniques made them apprehensive, as he had dispelled all of Madman Lu's attacks with a single palm and returned everything to its original state. It was no wonder why Xia Shenji's power of time had been so easily dispelled.
Mu Xie's strength was comparable to Nine Mountains and Eight Seas.
The ground shattered as the evil sarira pushed Madman Lu underground. Soon after, the blade descended and viciously slashed down.
Everyone stared at the ground, wondering what had happened to Madman Lu.
Soon after, the red power of nightmares within the treasury shrank and flowed underground, causing Madman Lu's Ancestral World to disappear.
Lu Yin heaved a sigh of relief, as this attack should have taken half of his life away.
At the entrance to the treasury, Master Shan's Progenitor Origin Tribulation descended. It was a mountain with thick clouds below it, and because the tribulation's range was constantly expanding, Bai Wangyuan and the rest were forced to retreat far away from the treasury.
Lu Yin looked at Master Shan. "Sever your own cultivation." He was certain that Master Shan did not have the ability to withstand the Progenitor Origin Tribulation, as he had not broken through the three stages. Even if he had been at his peak, he would not have been able to break through to Progenitor Origin Tribulation, let alone when he had been exiled from the Lu family. His terrifying defensive abilities came from his innate gift.
He would be crushed to death if he faced the Progenitor Origin Tribulation.
Master Shan looked at Bai Wangyuan and the rest unwillingly. "If this was a sealed space, I could sacrifice myself and take away all of the Lu family's enemies."
"Master Shan, quick! Sever your own cultivation!" Lu Yin shouted again.
Master Shan didn't move. He wanted to stall for time as much as possible so that Bai Wangyuan and the others wouldn't interfere with the battle in the Heavenly Realm Treasury.
Lu Yin grew anxious. "Master Shan, Madman Lu is dead for sure! Immediately sever your own cultivation and end your Origin Tribulation! As the Young Master, I command you to do so!"
Master Shan's body trembled, but he still obeyed Lu Yin's orders in the end. He spat out a mouthful of blood as his cultivation rapidly weakened.
Originally, he possessed the cultivation of a Half Martial Ancestor. Even though he was seriously injured, he still possessed strength surpassing that of an Envoys. However, at this moment, after severing his cultivation, not to mention a Half Martial Ancestor, he would not even be able to maintain his peak Envoys' battle prowess.
As Master Shan severed his own cultivation, the Ancestor Realm Origin Tribulation mountain slowly dissipated.
In the distance, Bai Wangyuan and the others exchanged glances. Once the origin tribulation completely dissipated, they would charge into the heavenly realm treasury. They did not believe that Madman Lu would die so quickly. As long as Madman Lu was alive, he would be a threat to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin glanced at them. How could he not know what they were thinking? Thus, he released another person from Mount Supreme, Wan Zhiyi. At the same time, he also took Master Shan into Mount Supreme.
When they saw Wan Zhiyi appear, Bai Wangyuan and the others' faces darkened.
Elder Gui Yuan was dumbfounded. Out of all the Progenitors in the Cosmic Tree Realm, he was the most shameless and thick-skinned. However, he now knew that he had lost. In this aspect, he was far inferior to Lu Xiaoxuan.
Wan Zhiyi's reason for appearing was very simple: he had also come to undergo his tribulation.
In reality, both Master Shan and Wan Zhiyi had been exiled by the Lu family and were no longer able to break through to the Ancestor realm. Although that was impossible, they could still undergo their tribulations. As long as the Ancestor Realm Origin Tribulation appeared and blocked the entrance, no one would dare to charge in.
Wan Zhiyi looked at Bai Wangyuan and the others in the distance. "Long time no see. I never thought that we would meet under such circumstances. Shall we have a chat?"
Wang Fan spoke up. "Wan Zhiyi, once you undergo your tribulation, you will have to sever your own cultivation if you don't want to die. You will never be able to return to the Half Martial Ancestor realm in this lifetime, let alone break through to the Ancestor realm."
Wan Zhiyi laughed. "Ever since the main family was exiled, it has been impossible for me to break through to the Ancestor realm. It will be impossible in this lifetime. Maybe in my next life, I will use my broken body to do something for the Young Master."
Nong Yi sighed. "Only the Lu family has the charisma to make such a Half Martial Ancestor sacrifice his life."
Within the heavenly treasury, Lu Yin retracted his gaze and looked underground. With Wan Zhiyi around, Bai Wangyuan and the others would be delayed for a long time.
Mu Xie did not care about what was happening outside as he stared at the ground. Suddenly, his expression changed. "Not good!" As soon as he spoke, the Demonic Śarīra was forced back by an uncontrollable force. A figure walked out from underground and stood there with his head lowered, panting heavily. The surface of his body was covered in deep, dark purple veins. Strands of nightmare power flowed along the veins and disappeared, causing them to become even more profound.
Lu Yin's face paled. "Battle force in the Realm of Mastery?"
A thought flashed through his mind, and he remembered. "You're that lunatic who cooperated with an Ancient God to create battle force in the Realm of Mastery."
Mu Xie was puzzled. "What did you say?"
Lu Yin gritted his teeth. "He's someone from the Above Heaven era, and his seniority might even be older than Patriarch Tianyi's. Back then, the Third Mainland's Dao Master Gu Yizhi created battle force in the Realm of Mastery, and he had many people experiment with it. One of them went crazy because of the experiments. It was you, wasn't it?"
Laughter rang out from underground. It was very low, but it was terrifying and terrifying.
The laughter grew louder and louder until Madman Lu slowly looked up and stared at Lu Yin. "It seems like you know a lot about that era."
Lu Yin's expression turned ugly, as this was troublesome. Only those who had grasped the Realm of Mastery would know how terrifying and difficult it was to fight against. This was a cultivation system created by the Ancient Dao Master, and it was definitely not inferior to the cultivation systems created by the Talisman Ancestor or Progenitor Chen. It could even be compared to the Death God's cultivation system. It was an exaggeration to say that in the Ancient Dao Master's opinion, this cultivation system was the true path that humans should take, and it could replace the cultivation system of the Astral Source Civilization.
Now that there was a problem with the Fifth Mainland's Astral Source Universe, the only ones who could fight were those who cultivated battle force, domains, and spiritual force. Even if Gu Yizhi had betrayed the humans and joined the Eternals, Lu Yin had to admit that the power that he had created was miraculous and suitable for humans.
To be honest, after seeing that Madman Lu had cultivated battle force to the Realm of Mastery, Lu Yin no longer felt confident. He would only know how powerful a Progenitor's battle force was after trying it out.
"Gu Yizhi believes that the power that he created is the true path of cultivation for humans. Let me see if he's right." Madman Lu's tyrannical aura suddenly disappeared, causing Lu Yin and Mu Xie to become even more vigilant.
With a bang, Madman Lu lifted up the cracked platform and smashed it at Mu Xie.
He took a step forward, shattering the void as he appeared in front of the Caged Wyrm and punched out.
The Caged Wyrm roared, but Madman Lu's lack of tyrannical aura made it less fearful. It even dared to raise a claw to meet the attack head-on.
With a crack, the Caged Wyrm's claw bent. It had not bent on its own accord, but had been forcefully bent by Madman Lu's punch.
Lu Yin was shocked. The Caged Wyrm's defense was something that even the God of Forgotten Ruins was shocked by. Even Xia Shenji had been unable to do anything to it, which was why he had used Broken Blade to trap it.
Madman Lu was shocked. "It actually took a punch from me?"
The Caged Wyrm's claw had been bent, and the pain stimulated it. Its eyes widened as it roared at the sky and swung its body, smashing its tail towards Madman Lu.
On the other side, Mu Xie pushed away the platform and tore through the void to appear behind Madman Lu. He struck out with a palm. Madman Lu had the Caged Wyrm's tail in front of him and Mu Xie's palm behind him, so he should have been able to dodge the attack. However, instead of retreating, he turned around and met Mu Xie's palm head-on. Mu Xie was shocked, as he felt as if he was facing an indestructible mountain instead of a human's palm. His body was pushed back by Madman Lu's palm, and his palm was torn apart as fresh blood flowed out.
At the same time, Madman Lu kicked out and struck the Caged Wyrm's tail. It was simple and crude, and there were no fancy battle techniques or profound techniques. He had relied on his physical strength and Mastery Realm battle force to deal with both the Caged Wyrm and Mu Xie at the same time.
At that moment, Nong Yi's phantom descended from above, and Er Chi appeared once again, attacking from below.
Without taking into account the time difference, Madman Lu was basically facing enemies from all directions.
"Is that all you've got?"
Madman Lu punched out and shattered Nong Yi's phantom, then stomped down and crushed Er Chi.
Even though Nong Yi and Er Chi were both borrowed from Lu Yin, they were still Progenitors, and they did not have much ability to retaliate against Madman Lu.
They had all been crushed, and Lu Yin had also been injured. The Hellwyrm had been frightened by Madman Lu, but this time, it had been frightened by Madman Lu's incomparably powerful battle prowess, and it had hurriedly fled.
Madman Lu looked up and stared at the Caged Wyrm. Just as he was about to give chase, the Evil Sarira descended from above his head. The characters that had been formed from evil energy surrounded Madman Lu, and they were all ancient characters with unfathomable power. No matter how Madman Lu punched at them, he could not break through them.
Mu Xie took advantage of this opportunity and slammed down with his slipper.
Madman Lu raised his hand, and a golden light filled the sky as the Divine Seal Catalog appeared. It stung Lu Yin's eyes, and he paled. The Divine Seal Catalog?
Could Madman Lu have already become a god?
Who?
Even if he had Progenitors to help him, how could he deal with them?
Lu Yin was not the only one who had such thoughts when he saw the Divine Seal Catalog. Mu Xie, Bai Wangyuan, and the others all had the same thought.
They had not expected Madman Lu to have the Divine Seal Catalog.
They had never thought that a madman could become a god.
Who would be willing to help him become one?
However, Madman Lu's use of the Divine Seal Catalog exceeded everyone's expectations. No shadow appeared under the golden light, and he used the Divine Seal Catalog to block the slipper's attack.
Lu Yin's eyes widened. It could be used like that?
Everyone's impression of the Lu family's Divine Seal Catalog was that it could be used to become a god and borrow the power of a Progenitor in battle. The only way to use it was to become a god, and no one had ever tested how tough the Divine Seal Catalog was. At this moment, they saw that the slipper had not immediately shattered the Divine Seal Catalog.
Madman Lu's eyes turned red, and his hands slammed down at Mu Xie under the Divine Seal Catalog's golden light.
