The Ghost Abyss Patriarch froze and looked at Lu Yin before subconsciously glancing at Mu Xie and Elder Chan. He felt that Lu Xiaoxuan's words were threatening, but he had actually asked for an explanation. Why would the three of them go together?
The Ghost Abyss Patriarch looked at Madman Lu. If even this guy couldn't handle it, then who could stop the three of them?
"Ahem, let's talk about this later. I hope that you can consider the Ghost Abyss Patriarch. After all, there are so many cultivators in the Ghost Abyss who need death energy. Once you use it up, they won't be able to gain a foothold."
The Fog Ancestor sneered.
Nong Yi shook his head.
The Ghost Abyss Patriarch was unhappy, but what could he do? No one present could take on the three of them alone, and it was obvious from how badly Madman Lu had been beaten up. If the battlefield had been the Ghost Abyss Patriarch, then Lu Xiaoxuan could not even imagine how much power he could use.
When he thought of this, he looked at Lu Yin's cosmic ring with a burning gaze. If it could draw death energy from the Ghost Abyss, then it had to be the Grim Reaper's weapon. And that arm … Did it belong to the Grim Reaper as well?
If he could obtain it, who in the Astral Tree Realm would dare to touch the Ghost Abyss?
Madman Lu suppressed his laughter, which made the Ghost Abyss Patriarch think that he was mocking him. "You're not satisfied, are you?"
Lu Yin stared at him.
Madman Lu met his gaze. "It wasn't easy for you to create an opportunity to kill me, but in the end, it was all for naught. You're not satisfied, are you? Hahahaha."
Lu Yin took a deep breath and relaxed. "You can escape once, but you won't be able to escape a second time. I'll kill you."
Madman Lu's lips curled up, and a strange look flashed through his eyes. He did not mention Lu Yin's mutation, just as Lu Yin had not said that he had transformed into a Corpse King. Without proof, anything he said would be useless. "Do I have a chance?
No, I'm not playing anymore. Without the Lu family, there's nothing worth playing with in this spacetime. "He then took out a large seal.
This seal was exactly the same as the one he had obtained from the Eternal Kingdom. It was a spatial coordinate seal.
Lu Yin found it strange, as only the Eternals could create such a seal that could fix spatial coordinates. For example, the seal that Gu Yue had used to travel to the Three Sovereigns' spacetime was similar.
"Madman Lu, you …?"
Bai Wangyuan wanted to say something but hesitated.
Everybody was staring at Madman Lu. He was using the seal to tear the void apart. After that, a voice said, "Is this the Primordial Space?"
The voice came from the other side of the void.
When Bai Wangyuan and the others heard the voice, their expressions turned solemn.
Madman Lu smiled. "I'm going to the main space."
"Welcome." Another word came from the other end of the void. Then, a figure walked out and came to Madman Lu's side.
The person who came was dressed in gray robes and had a long beard. He held a walking stick in his hand and looked very old. He had a kind smile and a lofty aura. The moment he appeared, ripples appeared in the void and spread out in all directions. It was as if this space was enduring something, causing people to feel stifled.
"Long time no see, old friend." The grey-robed old man looked at Madman Lu, Bai Wangyuan, and the others and smiled.
Bai Ran said, "I didn't think that this madman would be able to contact you directly."
The grey-robed old man laughed. "Master admires him and gave him a choice. Although he waited for a long time, he still made the choice." He then frowned. "It seems like he just went through a tough battle." He then looked across and saw Lu Yin's group.
He suddenly stared at Lu Yin and stared at his appearance. His face gradually darkened. "You're from the Lu family?"
Ever since the grey-robed old man had appeared, Lu Yin had been keeping an eye on him. He knew that the mastermind behind the banishment of the Lu family had appeared. It was impossible for the Four Cardinal Scales to rely on the Ancestral Mang to make a comeback. The Lu family had several Progenitors and was even considered a Deity. It was simply a fantasy, and the only reason they had been able to do so was because someone else was helping them.
Not only had this person helped them banish the Lu family, but he had also restrained the Eternals' power in this space. Otherwise, the Eternals would not have been stopped.
If the Undying God could pass through the Tree Realm and enter the Astral Tree Plane, then so could the Ancient Gods.
When the Lu family had still been around, the Eternals had definitely been able to keep the Lu family in check, and that power had been equivalent to another Lu family. If the Eternals had attacked the Astral Tree Plane three years ago, then how could the Four Cardinal Scales have stopped them?
However, the Eternals had never had such a power, so this power had definitely been restrained by another parallel space-time.
If Lu Yin's guess was correct, then it had to be the same parallel space-time that this grey-robed old man was in.
When Lu Yin heard that the grey-robed old man had recognized him as a member of the Lu family and that there was something off about his expression, he became even more certain. "Who are you?"
Killing intent filled the grey-robed old man's eyes. "Did you call me here to deal with this kid?"
He was talking to Madman Lu.
Madman Lu replied, "That'll be difficult. That brat is a direct descendant of the Lu family, and he's a Godly Progenitor. He's also obtained Lu Jian's power, so he's the equivalent of two or three Progenitors. The one beside him is his senior brother, Mu Xie, who's comparable to the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. The other one just broke through to Progenitor, but he's cultivated the ancestral qi of three suns. He'll be quite difficult to deal with."
The grey-robed old man was shocked, and he stared at the three people before him. "No wonder you were beaten up so badly." He then looked at Bai Wangyuan and the others. "Why didn't you help him?"
Bai Ran replied, "This is the Lu family's own grudge."
The grey-robed old man's eyes flashed.
At that moment, the Mist Ancestor suddenly stepped forward and stared at the grey-robed old man. "Who are you?"
The grey-robed old man looked at the Mist Ancestor. "And who are you?"
The Mist Ancestor raised his head. "Xi Wei of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas."
The grey-robed old man was astonished. "The Mist Ancestor of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas?"
"It seems like you've heard of me."
"It's not the first time I've heard of you. Didn't you die?"
"That's not a big deal. Let me ask you, who are you?
Where are you from?
How are you related to Madman Lu, Bai Wangyuan, and the others? "
The grey-robed old man looked at the Mist Ancestor and then at Lu Yin's group. "I'm a Yuan Sage. As for my identity, you will find out in the future." He then turned to look at the distant Hellwyrm. "This pet is not bad. Master will like it. When the day comes, you can use it as a gift." He then waved at Madman Lu. "Let's go. Master will wait for you."
Lu Yin raised his brows. "Stop right there. You want to leave just because you're here?
Which parallel universe do you represent? "
The grey-robed old man looked at Lu Yin. "You're a direct descendant of the Lu family. If you want to live, then don't ask so many questions. The Lu family deserved to be destroyed, and you should learn from this lesson. Don't be as arrogant as the Lu family, or else you'll suffer the same fate."
Lu Yin suddenly attacked, using his Progenitor rune lines to envelop the grey-robed old man.
Bai Wangyuan and the others immediately blocked his path. "Lu Xiaoxuan, you can't attack him."
Lu Yin immediately called E 'Chi over, and the God Sealing Catalog released a golden light. "Scram."
Mu Xie and Elder Chan both stepped forward.
The grey-robed old man sneered. "Bai Wangyuan, keep your space-time dogs in check. Otherwise, Master won't mind personally making a trip down." He then stepped into the torn void, and Madman Lu followed suit.
Lu Yin watched as the spatial tear closed, and he stared into Madman Lu's eyes until the void was completely restored.
When the space was restored, Lu Yin looked at Bai Wangyuan and the others. "Give me an explanation."
The Fog Ancestor replied, "I also need an explanation."
Nong Yi and Ancestor Gui Yuan also wanted to know what had happened.
In the distance, the Caged Wyrm bared its fangs and brandished its claws. Now that Madman Lu had left, it was no longer afraid.
"Bai Wangyuan, tell me, what's going on?"
The Fog Ancestor asked again.
Bai Wangyuan and the others looked at each other and then said, "There are many parallel universes in the universe, and the one we're in is one of them. The Eternals have opened up battlefields in various parallel universes in an attempt to conquer the universe. That person just now was called a Yuan Sage, and he represents one of these parallel universes."
He then looked at Lu Yin. "When we exiled the Lu family, they also helped us."
Lu Yin's finger twitched. "Why?"
Wang Fan coldly replied, "Because the Lu family is too arrogant, and there are always people who can't stand it."
"Speak human!" Lu Yin barked.
Wang Fan was furious and wanted to berate Lu Yin.
Mu Xie spoke up, "Is that parallel universe very strong?"
The Dragon Ancestor nodded. "Very strong, and we can't compare to them. That's why I advise you not to provoke them." He then glanced at Caged Drake. "The strongest person in that universe is called a Grand Empyrean, and he's a terrifying existence comparable to a Primogenitor."
Lu Yin and the others felt their scalps go numb. Comparable to a Primogenitor?
That was horrifying.
Up until now, the strongest person they had encountered was the Ancient God, one of the Six Daos of the Three Realms. The strongest person Lu Yin could borrow from was also the Death God of the Three Realms. As for a Primogenitor, he was an existence that surpassed the Three Realms.
"Is the only True God being held back by him?"
The Fog Ancestor blurted out.
Bai Ran replied, "It's best not to provoke that universe. They call themselves the main space, and they are the greatest power against the Eternals. The Seven Skygods are constantly being held back by them, and there are more than one parallel universe that follows them. Lu Xiaoxuan, don't provoke them, or you'll be inviting disaster for everyone.
"Of course, you can't provoke them either. You can't even come into contact with that universe."
Lu Yin muttered to himself. The main space?
It was no wonder that the Lu family had been exiled.
"Where did Xia Shenji go?"
Wang Fan suddenly asked.
Everyone looked at Lu Yin, as he was the only Progenitor on the Fifth Mainland. No one else could deal with Xia Shenji, but there had been no news of him since he had gone to the Fifth Mainland. This was strange.
Lu Yin calmly replied, "I don't know."
Bai Wangyuan frowned. "Lu Xiaoxuan, Xia Shenji is one of our main forces against the Eternals. You-" Lu Yin looked up. "Are you trying to talk about righteousness with me?"
Bai Wangyuan paused. Righteousness?
Talk to Lu Yin?
Would that be useful?
Nong Yi sighed. "Although the Eternals have been pushed back over the past few years, our forces have been greatly weakened as well. If the Eternals reappear, the Outer Realm won't be able to gather seven Progenitors."
The Fog Ancestor said, "Lu Xiaoxuan, you defeated Madman Lu, so you can take his place and guard the Nightmare Star. Mu Xie can also guard the Broken Star." She looked at Elder Chan. "You can replace Xia Shenji."
"We lost three Progenitors, so we'll replace them."
Nong Yi thought about it and agreed. They had lost Madman Lu, but Liu Yue and Xia Shenji had replaced Lu Yin, Mu Xie, and Elder Chan.
No one brought up the matter of the heavenly treasury again, as everyone had a tacit understanding.
As for Xia Shenji, the Four Way Scales would definitely send someone to Shenwu Continent to investigate. Lu Yin had naturally made preparations as well, and he had asked Elder Chan to oversee Shenwu Continent, not because of the Four Way Scales, but because of the three Sovereigns' space.
