No matter how much he tried to convince himself that it was just an illusion, when he truly faced it, he still felt a chill.
This was a fear of Lu Tianyi and Ancestor Hui that had formed over countless years.
Elder Gui Yuan felt a toothache. Why were all the Progenitors from the Fifth Mainland so freakishly powerful? Lu Xiaoxuan alone could fight against three Progenitors, and this old man had used the ancestral qi of the Three Suns to manifest a Progenitor. Even Lu Tianyi had appeared, and he was also fighting against three Progenitors. How were they supposed to fight?
He even wanted to help the Four Way Scales. Looking at Bai Wangyuan and the others, this was the first time he felt that they were weak.
"Junior brother!" Mu Xie roared.
Lu Yin and Elder Chan turned around at the same time. No, it was above their heads. They looked up and saw beams of light descending from the sky. This was the Limitless Kinetic Energy sourcebox array. Three years ago, the Seven Skygods had tried to rescue the Undying Deity, and it had been the Limitless Kinetic Energy sourcebox array that had helped Bai Wangyuan and the others along with the help of the Divine Eagle. Now, the Limitless Kinetic Energy sourcebox array was actually attacking Lu Yin and Elder Chan.
The Mist Ancestor was immediately enraged. "Stop!" As he spoke, the hazy fog swept forward.
Nong Yi attacked at the same time.
The limitless power sourcebox array could only be used against the Eternals, but now, it was being used against the humans. This was equivalent to the humans creating a butcher's knife for themselves, which was a rather vile thing to do.
No one was allowed to use unlimited power to attack their own people. The Scales of the Four Directions were out of line.
Wang Fan suddenly shouted, "Stop! You can't attack your own people with unlimited power!"
Bai Wangyuan shouted angrily at the same time.
At this moment, all of the Progenitors were trying to stop Limitless Kinetic Energy from attacking Lu Yin and Elder Chan. Bai Wangyuan, Wang Fan, and the Dragon Ancestor were more proactive than anyone else, and they even attacked the light beam.
At first glance, it really looked like they were protecting Lu Yin.
In reality, this was indeed the case. They were protecting Lu Yin, as their goal had been achieved. Madman Lu had successfully broken through Lu Yin and Elder Chan's blockade and rushed out of the vault, charging towards Bai Wangyuan and the rest.
Not only had Bai Wangyuan and the rest saved Madman Lu, but they had also pushed away all responsibility. No matter who had activated the limitless energy array to attack Lu Yin's group, the blame would not be placed on Bai Wangyuan and the rest, as they had been protecting Lu Yin.
Lu Yin watched as Madman Lu brushed past him from the side, and he saw his cruel smile and murderous gaze. His eyelids twitched, and he retrieved the Grim Reaper Gou Lian and the Grim Reaper's left arm from his cosmic ring, using his left arm to grab Gou Lian.
In an instant, an overflowing aura of death covered the heavens. In a corner of the Middle Level Realm, darkness connected heaven and earth. It almost cut across the starry sky and connected with the Death God's left arm.
Xia Shenji and Bai Sheng had seen this scene before, but no one else had.
Although they hadn't seen it before, an indescribable sense of danger descended upon everyone's minds, shocking them.
Ghost Abyss' old man opened his mouth wide. Death Qi, that direction was Ghost Abyss?
He looked at Lu Yin, who was using the Grim Reaper's Left Arm to grab Gou Lian and draw in the Phantom Abyss's deathly aura. Gou Lian angrily shouted, "Stop! That's my Phantom Abyss's deathly aura!"
However, Lu Yin did not have the time to deal with Madman Lu. His death qi instantly traversed the heavens, and it was even faster than a Progenitor's speed. It was as if the distance between them no longer existed. Lu Yin stared at Madman Lu and slashed out with his Goulian.
Death Qi swept past, and the heavens were overturned. Endless darkness enveloped the Top Level Realm, and everyone looked up to see a black stream of air. It was as if doomsday had arrived.
An indescribable darkness pierced through the void, connecting Lu Yin and Madman Lu, blocking everyone's vision. Within the darkness, Madman Lu opened his scarlet vertical eyes, and they were filled with madness. As the Grim Reaper's Slash descended, his eyes suddenly changed from grey to green, then to red, and finally to Ghost Abyss.
Ghost Eye finally became Eye-less, the highest realm of the Grim Reaper Transformation.
Every change represented a tenfold increase in his physical strength, and his battle force at the Mastery Realm would also be condensed correspondingly.
After his pupils became Eye-less, Madman Lu's strength was beyond Lu Yin's imagination.
Ghost Abyss's death qi was above that of the Fifth Mainland's Kunze Domain, and the amount of death qi it had attracted far surpassed the attack that had been directed at Xia Shenji. However, even this attack did not give Lu Yin the confidence to kill Madman Lu.
He looked at Madman Lu's terrifying Eye-less eyes, saw his smile, and saw his mouth open to say something. Lu Yin's pupils shrank, and the darkness dissipated as he transformed into the Grim Reaper Transformation.
Madman Lu's lips curled up as he stared at Lu Yin and laughed maniacally. "Your fate will be the same as the Lu family's."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. Kill! He had to kill him! If he missed this chance, there would never be another one in the future. Kill, kill, kill! A blazing killing intent filled his mind, dyeing his eyes red. He could not see it, but a red dot had appeared in his eyes as well. It was the red dot in his heart.
Lu Yin could not see it, but Madman Lu could.
There were only the two of them within the torrent of death qi, and Madman Lu stared at the red dot in Lu Yin's eyes. Was that … divine power?
How … was that possible?
No matter how desperate the situation had been, even when Lu Yin had displayed Mastery Realm battle force, Madman Lu had never been so shocked. This was no longer just shock, but a feeling of the world collapsing around him. It was as inconceivable as if the entire Lu family had sided with the Eternals.
Lu Xiaoxuan, a direct descendant of the Lu family, had actually cultivated divine power?
Was he a madman, or was the Lu family a madman?
Or was this Lu Xiaoxuan a madman?
Gou Lian suddenly descended, and the death qi swept across the void, tearing a crack in the sky above the Top Realm. A darkness that could devour everything appeared before the eyes of countless people. They had never seen such a scene before, and their instincts told them that if they touched this darkness, they would die without a complete corpse.
A huge bloody wound appeared on Madman Lu's body from his forehead down, and death qi emanated from it.
The dark torrent of death qi dissipated.
Everyone looked at the two of them.
Madman Lu looked as if he had been fished out of a pool of blood, and his head was lowered.
Lu Yin, on the other hand, was panting heavily. The red in his eyes had disappeared, and he had returned to normal.
What just happened?
He looked at Gou Lian and only remembered Madman Lu's smile. It was a smile that disgusted him, and he wanted to kill him immediately. Thoughts of slaughter filled his mind, and he even forgot how he had injured Madman Lu.
Madman Lu had used the Death Transformation, and even the Death God's attack should not have been able to injure him. So what had happened?
He slowly looked up, and at the same time, Madman Lu looked up as well.
Lu Yin was sure that Madman Lu was a Redback, as he had cultivated the Death Transformation, but no one else had seen it.
Madman Lu had also seen the divine force in Lu Yin's eyes. What kind of existence was this person?
He was definitely not a simple descendant of the Lu family. What had happened?
Fresh blood dripped down.
Madman Lu's body trembled from his injuries, and he could not control his body.
Bai Wangyuan and the others approached and looked at the injuries on Madman Lu's body. Even for a Progenitor, this was quite serious, and it would take him hundreds or thousands of years to recover. This was the power of the Death God, and it would take a long time to dispel it unless someone at the same realm helped.
Lu Yin gripped Gou Lian tightly.
Within the abyss, the death qi was still being drawn in, and he had not used it all in one go. Or rather, he could only use this much.
No, it's still not enough. One more attack, one more attack, and that would be enough to kill Madman Lu.
Mu Xie and Elder Chan came to Lu Yin's side and looked at him.
"Junior Brother?"
Mu Xie asked, sensing that something was wrong with Lu Yin. The killing intent in his eyes was too strong, and it was not an ordinary killing intent.
Lu Yin spoke in a low voice, "Senior Brother, I can't accept this."
Mu Xie's expression changed, and he looked at Madman Lu, Bai Wangyuan, and the others. "I can't accept this either."
If it had just been Lu Yin and Mu Xie, then it would have been fine if they had not been able to deal with Madman Lu. However, Elder Chan had broken through to the Progenitor Realm and used the ancestral qi of the three suns to ascend to the Progenitor Realm. In the end, Madman Lu had managed to escape. This was what Lu Yin could not accept, as they had clearly had a chance to kill Madman Lu.
"Lu Xiaoxuan, it's over. No matter how the two of you met, it's all over now," Wang Fan said.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. "Madman Lu knows how to use battle force at the Realm of Mastery. Since ancient times, there have only been a few people who have managed to cultivate battle force at the Realm of Mastery. Gu Yizhi, the founder of the Third Mainland, was one of them. Henxin, one of the leaders of the Twelve Elysium Gates, was another, and so was I. My battle force came from Henxin, and Henxin's battle force has been around since ancient times. Where did Madman Lu's battle force come from?"
Bai Wangyuan and the others looked at Madman Lu, curious as well. They had never heard of battle force at the Realm of Mastery before, but Madman Lu had just displayed an incomparably powerful attack. This level of strength had been enough to sweep through Mu Xie, E Chi, and the other Progenitors. If not for this strength, Madman Lu would not have been able to last until now.
Madman Lu stared at Lu Yin. "Whose General Appointment Platform is it?"
Lu Yin glanced at the floating platform. "Lu Jian's."
"Lu Jian?
I remember now. He's the guy who couldn't cultivate his own strength, so he went to cultivate someone else's. If he can do it, why can't I? "
Madman Lu growled.
Lu Yin barked, "Don't change the topic! I'm asking you how you learned battle force at the Realm of Mastery. You're Redback, and you've interacted with Gu Yizhi more than once. Gu Yizhi is the head of the Seven Skygods, and only he can help you cultivate battle force to the Realm of Mastery. You've been following him since the era of the Above Heaven."
Madman Lu laughed maniacally, and his laughter affected his wound, causing a large patch of blood to spill out. "I learned battle force at the Realm of Mastery from Gu Yizhi, but I was imprisoned by the Lu family not long after. If I colluded with Gu Yizhi, what would the Lu family say?
The Lu family must have deliberately allowed me to do as I pleased. Otherwise, how could Gu Yizhi have been able to deceive the Lu family and teach me battle force at the Realm of Mastery?
You've also learned this strength, so who can guarantee that it wasn't Gu Yizhi who taught you? "
"Lu Xiaoxuan, the Lu family was clearly exiled, but you were able to rise up in the Abandoned Wasteland and even reach this point. Even if you had the Lu family's resources, you wouldn't have been able to do so. How did you do it now?
There's something wrong with your growth history. You're Redback. "
Lu Yin fell silent. Without any evidence, any accusations were powerless. The only thing he could do was plant a seed of doubt in everyone's hearts.
"Lu Xiaoxuan, you've touched my Ghost Abyss's death qi. How do you explain that?" The Ghost Abyss Ancestor jumped out and accused Lu Yin.
Lu Yin stared at him coldly, "Are you the Grim Reaper?"
The Ghost Abyss Ancestor was furious, "The Grim Reaper disappeared a long time ago, and his death qi is a blessing that he left for all who cultivate it. Even if you're the Grim Reaper's successor, you can't touch my Ghost Abyss's death qi. You have to give me an explanation."
Lu Yin calmly replied, "Alright, I'll find some time to go to Ghost Abyss and explain it to you."
