"Senior Brother!" Lu Yin was alarmed, and the Star Scattered Chessboard appeared beneath his feet. He activated the Secret of Plan, the Star Scattered Chessboard. However, under the illumination of the golden light, the Star Scattered Chessboard couldn't be used at all.
Madman Lu's palms landed on Mu Xie's body, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood as two palm imprints appeared on his back. He grabbed Madman Lu's arm with one hand and was sent flying backwards, but he still held on tightly to Madman Lu's arm. Madman Lu's hand slammed down with the slipper.
Madman Lu sneered and used the Divine Seal Catalog to block the slipper's path.
Suddenly, the slipper disappeared and reappeared in Mu Xie's hand that was grabbing onto Madman Lu. Madman Lu watched in shock as the slipper viciously slammed down.
This strike directly hit Madman Lu's right arm, breaking it and forcing him to retreat.
This was a collaboration between Lu Yin and Mu Xie. The Secret Art of Plan could not be used, but the Secret Art of Yu could be used. This did not mean that the Secret Art of Plan was stronger than the Secret Art of Plan, but rather that the two were used in different ways.
In most cases, the Plan Secret was far more powerful than the Yu Secret. This was especially true for the Plan Secret's Repentance step, which could be considered as reversing the flow of space. It was far more powerful than the Yu Secret, but in some aspects, the Yu Secret was simply a stroke of genius.
Back when Lu Yin had used the Realm Mountain to seal the entrance to the Starfall Sea, he had relied on the Secret Art of Yu as well.
Lu Yin was truly grateful to Undying Yushan. Although Undying Yushan had used him, the Secret Art of Yu had helped him greatly on his path of cultivation.
Madman Lu faced off against Mu Xie in midair. His right arm was broken, and he could no longer use it. The Divine Seal Catalog floated above his head, emitting golden light.
Mu Xie was not much better off. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and two palm imprints could be clearly seen on his chest.
He sighed in amazement, "Master once said that since I was valued, it would be difficult for anyone in the same realm to be my match. I never thought that this madman's strength would be so terrifying. He's definitely at the level of Nine Mountains and Eight Seas."
Lu Yin could also tell that Madman Lu was definitely at the level of Nine Mountains and Eight Seas after using battle force at the Realm of Mastery. He did not think that Xia Shenji was Madman Lu's match at all.
Xia Shenji had never displayed the power to block the slipper. Madman Lu's God Investiture Catalog could do that, and Xia Shenji did not have Battle Qi of the Mastery Realm, which allowed him to unleash his physical strength to the extreme.
Senior Mu Xie did not care about Xia Shenji, but he was quite afraid of Madman Lu. Moreover, at this moment, Madman Lu might not have used all of his means.
This battle was going to be difficult.
At the entrance of the Heavenly Realm Treasury, Wan Zhiyi still went through his tribulation in the end because Bai Wangyuan and the others wanted to charge in.
Madman Lu had held the upper hand earlier, but it had only lasted for a short while. Against Lu Yin and Mu Xie's combined attacks, his situation would only become more and more disadvantageous as time passed.
The Fog Ancestor and the others could not interfere in this battle. It was just like how the Four Way Sky had to kill Liu Yue and deal with the Nong family and Ghost Abyss. Some battles were not suitable for them to interfere.
Above him, the tribulation origin black hole continued to expand. It wasn't exaggerated, but Wan Zhiyi's strength was declining rapidly.
As the finger descended, the Origin Tribulation descended. That finger was definitely a power that had appeared in this starry sky before, and it was borrowed by the Stellar Source Universe to prevent Wan Zhiyi from transcending the tribulation.
Wan Zhiyi looked at his fingers. "Is he being crushed like an ant?
If it was back then, I would have definitely cut off this finger. "
"Senior, sever your own cultivation," Lu Yin said.
Wan Zhiyi hesitated.
Lu Yin barked, "As the Young Master of the Lu family, I command you to sever your own cultivation."
Wan Zhiyi looked up again and sighed as the finger continued to descend. Back then, everyone had been certain that he would definitely become a Progenitor, and even Bai Sheng and the others had treated him with respect. Lu Tianjing had even visited him frequently. Who would have thought that he wouldn't even be able to transcend his tribulation?
"Senior, if you die from your tribulation, then I won't dare to borrow the strength of the Lu family's remaining members in the future." Lu Yin's voice rang out again. He could tell that Wan Zhiyi wanted to transcend the tribulation, even if it meant death. This was a cultivator's lifelong goal.
However, Wan Zhiyi had his own standpoint, and Lu Yin had his own thoughts. Sometimes, it was better to live, so why did one have to die?
Since one was born into this world, one had to think of a way to survive. Living was not only for oneself, but also for one's friends and family.
Wan Zhiyi lowered his head and slapped his chest, severing his own cultivation.
Bai Wangyuan's eyes narrowed. "I never thought that even you would escape. Wan Zhiyi, you won't be able to become a Progenitor in this lifetime."
Wan Zhiyi looked at Bai Wangyuan and the others. "If I can't become a Progenitor, then so be it. Being a normal person isn't that bad either."
As Wan Zhiyi severed his own cultivation, the Progenitor's tribulation dissipated.
Lu Yin finally managed to calm the Caged Wyrm down and then headed towards the entrance of the heavenly treasury. He took out Mount Supreme, and under everyone's speechless gazes, he brought out Elder Chan.
"Another one." Wang Fan was speechless. One after another, Lu Xiaoxuan had made ample preparations.
Elder Chan asked after he came out, "Not even one succeeded?"
Lu Yin looked at him. "Senior, I hope you succeed."
Elder Chan smiled and shook his head. "I'll give it a try."
Bai Wangyuan and the rest stared at Lu Yin. "Lu Xiaoxuan, this battle should be over. You don't want the humans to lose too many Progenitors in a civil war. If Madman Lu dies, then who will guard the Bad Star?
If you and Mu Xie die, then the losses will be great. What will happen to the Fifth Mainland? "
Lu Yin looked at them. "Nonsense."
Within the heavenly treasury, Madman Lu massaged his right arm. "I can't use it for now. It's too troublesome." He looked at Mu Xie. "The two of you can't kill me."
"I'll give it a try." Mu Xie's voice was much lower, and it was obvious that he was suppressing his injuries.
Lu Yin summoned E 'Chi once again, and the Divine Seal Catalog appeared along with Nong Yi's phantom image. The General Appointment Platform revolved around him. "Senior Brother, you must kill him today." With that, the Progenitor's rune lines shot towards Madman Lu as Mu Xie pushed the Nefarious Śarīra towards Madman Lu.
Madman Lu laughed maniacally. "Even I can't kill you. Mu Xie, your strength is indeed within my expectations. If not for your strength, then I wouldn't have been able to protect that brat back then."
"I'm not going to play with you anymore. It'll be over once that old bastard undergoes his Origin Tribulation." He then stared at Lu Yin. "Brat, you might have escaped this time, but you can't keep Mu Xie with you forever. There will be a day when I catch you, and I'll hang your skin on the Divine Seal Catalog."
Lu Yin raised his head. "That day won't come. You can die now." He then struck out with a palm.
From the start of this battle until now, Lu Yin had never taken the initiative to attack. He had always been summoning his generals or using his Progenitor's rune lines, but now, he had truly attacked. This palm represented that when things reach an extreme, they will move in the opposite direction.
After fighting for so long, Lu Yin had still not used this move, as he had been waiting for this moment.
Madman Lu had no intention of killing Lu Yin and only wanted to avoid this battle. This was the moment when Lu Yin's defenses were at their lowest, and Mu Xie was injured as well. It seemed like this battle was about to end, but now, it was his turn.
It was Lu Yin's turn.
When things reach an extreme, they will move in the opposite direction. Madman Lu's pupils shrank as he stared at his body. The purplish-black battle force around him had actually vanished in an instant. How was this possible?
The Evil Śarīra pushed forward, and Madman Lu hurriedly used the Divine Seal Catalog to block it.
Mu Xie was already prepared, and he dodged the Divine Seal Catalog to attack Madman Lu.
E 'Chi, Nong Yi, and Hellwyrm all attacked at the same time. With the addition of the Progenitor's rune lines, Madman Lu was once again surrounded by attacks from all directions. This time, he was unable to block them all, and his left shoulder was smashed by a slipper. His back and chest were also struck, and his flesh was torn apart as blood sprayed across the sky.
Madman Lu roared as the Divine Seal Catalog wrapped around him like a curtain, and he charged towards the entrance of the heavenly treasury.
He had not expected Lu Yin to still have this move. If not for this move, he would not have been beaten so badly.
Elder Chan watched Madman Lu charge over and felt somewhat helpless. However, he was also filled with anticipation as he began to face his tribulation.
Madman Lu suddenly stopped when he approached the entrance. He was a madman, but that did not mean that he wanted to die. His Progenitor's Origin Tribulation was about to descend, so how could he approach it?
At this point, the Extreme Effect ended, and his Mastery realm battle force appeared once more.
Lu Yin attacked again, wanting to hit him, but Madman Lu would not let him succeed. He dodged the attack and looked up. "What move is this?"
Lu Yin was puzzled. Didn't Madman Lu know that Extreme Effect was Extreme Effect?
"That's the Extreme Effect of Withering. Don't get hit, or you'll definitely die," Bai Wangyuan warned.
The Extreme Effect of Withering had left a deep impression on them. Even the Undying God had been completely countered by this move, but they had not realized that Lu Xiaoxuan was already very familiar with this move.
Not everyone knew about the Desolate Ancestor. In that era, only a few people truly understood him. Most people's impression of him was that he was a very lucky person from the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. As for his battle prowess, he was probably the weakest in the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas.
Madman Lu had been imprisoned for many years, so how could he understand the Desolate Ancestor? By the time he was released, the Lu family had already been exiled, and the Desolate Ancestor had long since disappeared and charged into the Everlasting Race.
To Madman Lu, the Extreme Effect of Withering and Extreme Effect were very unfamiliar.
The first time he had experienced the Extreme Effect of Withering, he had almost suffered a great loss. If he had not reacted quickly enough, he might not have been able to stand there unscathed.
Bai Wangyuan reminded him again, "Be careful of Lu Xiaoxuan. He's not very strong, but his methods are very strange. Not only does he have the Extreme Effect of Withering, but he also controls the power of the Death God. Don't let him ambush you."
Madman Lu's eyes were filled with madness as he glared at Lu Yin. "Little brat, I was wrong. You're even more shameless than Lu Qi."
Lu Yin raised a hand and struck out with a palm, but it was impossible to use the Extreme Effect of Withering to hit Madman Lu. Once Madman Lu was prepared, Lu Yin's strength would not be enough.
Mu Xie had grasped Tracing the Past, but he had not had a chance to attack either.
Within the heavenly treasury, Madman Lu was much more cautious of the two. What followed was delaying, and now it was his turn to delay until Elder Chan's tribulation ended. Then, he would charge out of the treasury.
Elder Chan's Progenitor's Origin Tribulation officially appeared.
When the tribulation origin black hole appeared, everyone was shocked, as it was completely different from the previous two. Those two black holes could not even compare to the range of a normal Half-Ancestor's tribulation. Their foundations had been damaged too deeply, and they had only been trying to stop Bai Wangyuan and the others from charging into the heavenly treasury.
However, Elder Chan was different, as he was truly undergoing his tribulation.
