The Caged Wyrm raised its claws to block the blade and roared as it retreated.
Lu Yin raised his hand, and the sky was bound to overturn the heavens. Overturning Heaven Palm.
The guillotine trembled, and the blade suddenly reversed. Lu Yin had wanted to make the blade slash downwards, but he was powerless to do so. His Overturning Heaven Palm could affect Progenitors, which was already quite terrifying. It was impossible for him to control a Progenitor's battle technique.
At the same time, Nong Yi raised his hand as if he was holding a hoe and slammed it down.
The world shook, and Gui Zu was forcefully pressed into the ground once more.
The guillotine formed by death energy vanished.
Lu Yin stared down and summoned another Half-Ancestor from Lu Jian's platform, who then charged into the ground.
Under the golden light of the God Seal Catalog, Nong Yi raised his hand again.
At that moment, a snow-white skeleton shot out from the ground, causing Lu Yin's eyes to narrow.
Nong Yi's hands slammed down, and he attacked again.
Beneath the ground, snow-white skeletons covered in dark death energy crawled out like giant beasts that had awoken. They took Nong Yi's attack head-on. Gui Zu stood among the skeletons and glared at Lu Yin. "Why did you sneak attack me?"
Lu Yin looked at Gui Zu deeply. Gui Zu was injured, but he did not know how serious his injuries were. "I wanted to test Senior Gui Zu's strength."
Gui Zu stared at Lu Yin. Only an idiot would believe this kid's words, but why had he attacked?
"Did you make a deal with Bai Wangyuan and the others?"
Lu Yin asked. "I told them that I just wanted to test Senior's strength. After all, we're both from the Death God bloodline, and Junior is curious about what it's like to reach Progenitor with death energy. Was that guillotine just now Senior's battle technique?"
"Lu Xiaoxuan, I don't want to be your enemy. Let's stop here," Gui Zu said.
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "But Junior still hasn't seen what's so special about reaching Progenitor with death energy." E 'Chi then slammed down with a slipper from the side.
"Lu Xiaoxuan, you're courting death!" Gui Zu roared as one of the bones was smashed to pieces by the slipper. He then controlled the giant skeleton to leap through the void and grab at Lu Yin. The Helldrake roared at the sky and raised its claws to grab at the skeleton. Although the skeleton was not as large as the Helldrake's main body, it had not yet revealed its true form, so the two were about the same.
Gui Zu suddenly rushed out of the skeleton and raised his weapon to stab at Lu Yin. Under the power of a Progenitor, Lu Yin was no match for Gui Zu at all. Even if he wanted to use the Strategy Secret Art to dodge, he would not be able to do so. Secret techniques were too weak in front of Progenitors.
However, Yang Kai was able to use Reverse Step and quickly retreated, distancing himself from Gui Zu.
E Chi raised his slipper from behind and smashed it down. The slipper had been upgraded several times, and even the Undying God had been beaten half to death, let alone Gui Zu.
In the current starry sky, there was almost no object that could resist the slap of a slipper.
"Lu Xiaoxuan, are you really going to fight to the death?"
Gui Zu roared.
Lu Yin's expression was cold. "Senior, let this junior see how the death energy of Progenitor is like."
"Fine, if you want to die, then this old master will fulfill your wish. At worst, you'll just have to flee to the Astral Wilderness." The sky darkened as the entire space darkened. Thorns shot out from the void and formed trees. This was a forest formed from death energy. This was the Ancestral World, and it was called the Black Forest.
"Once you enter the Black Forest, don't even think about leaving. Do you really think that you can deal with this old master by yourself?
If not for Mu Xie, you would not have been able to deal with Madman Lu. "Gui Zu's cold voice filled the void, and Lu Yin could not even pinpoint his location.
Lu Yin did not underestimate Gui Zu. In fact, he was even more apprehensive of Gui Zu than Xia Shenji was.
He could see through Gui Zu's methods, but Gui Zu was different. After all, he cultivated death energy.
To be able to cultivate to Progenitor using death energy, even if it was not the true power of the Death God, it was still no small matter.
This was also why Gui Yuan had been able to exist peacefully in the Astral Tree Domain for so many years.
Even the Lu family had thought highly of Gui Zu back then, let alone the Four Way Scales.
Gui Zu had a power system that was feared by everyone.
Trapped in the Black Forest, Jaildrake, E 'Chi, and Lu Yin felt as if they were stuck in a swamp. They could not see or touch anything, and the endless darkness swallowed them up.
Lu Yin did not dare to hesitate, as the sense of crisis almost made his scalp explode. Even with the God Sealing Catalog wrapped around him, he did not feel safe. He had no choice but to take out the Death God's Left Arm.
The moment the Grim Reaper's left arm appeared, the Black Forest began to twist and distort before being absorbed.
Gui Zu was shocked. They were both Progenitors of death energy, but the difference between him and the Death God was so exaggerated. The Death God's Left Arm had directly broken through his Ancestral World.
Lu Yin had not expected the Black Forest to be so easily destroyed by the Death God's Left Arm.
It was not that Gui Zu was weak, but rather that the Death God was too strong.
They both cultivated the same power, but the difference between them was like heaven and earth.
Lu Yin held the Death God's Left Arm and took out Gou Lian, "Senior, feel for yourself the difference between you and the true Death God."
Gui Zu barked, "Lu Xiaoxuan, why are you attacking this Old Master?"
The Black Forest continued to distort as the death energy was absorbed by the Death God's Left Arm like smoke. It seemed as if the Death God's Left Arm was on the verge of being destroyed. Lu Yin stared at Gui Zu without saying a word, while the Left Arm and Gou Lian continued to absorb the death energy. It was not just the Black Forest's death energy anymore, but also the underground death energy.
Gui Zu was not unfamiliar with this scene, as Lu Yin had used this move to deal with Madman Lu. Madman Lu had not died from this move, but that did not mean that Gui Zu would not die. Gui Zu knew that he was no match for Madman Lu.
"Lu Xiaoxuan, what are you trying to do?"
Gui Zu barked again.
Lu Yin still did not speak, and he simply stared at Gui Zu. The Left Arm and Gou Lian's power was increasing, and with Jaildrake, E 'Chi, and the God Sealing Catalog's Nong Yi protecting them, even if Gui Zu wanted to attack now, it would be difficult to injure Lu Yin, at least not in a short period of time.
As long as Lu Yin had a little more time, Gui Zu would be able to attack.
This attack had severely injured Xia Shenji and Bai Wangyuan, and it had also injured Madman Lu.
This attack was enough to make any Progenitor feel apprehensive.
"Madman!" Gui Zu was furious, as he could not understand why Lu Yin would do such a thing. Lu Yin had not said a single word, and he had launched a sneak attack with all his might. He could not even communicate with Lu Yin. Helpless, Gui Zu tore through the void and left.
Under normal circumstances, going from one parallel space-time to another was a matter of luck, unless one had coordinates. Xia Shenji had been exiled in such a manner.
However, Gui Zu had appeared directly on the Fifth Mainland after tearing through the void, and he had then fled without hesitation.
Bai Wangyuan, Xia Zhen, and the others were all stunned.
The next moment, Lu Yin opened up a spatial rift with the coordinates, aimed at the fleeing Gui Zu, and slashed down from afar.
If it had been anyone else, Lu Yin's attack would not have been able to hit them. After all, there was a time difference, and even a split second was enough for a Progenitor.
However, this was Gui Zu, and he cultivated death energy. Lu Yin's attack not only contained the death energy from the Eternal Kingdom, but also the death energy from Gui Zu's ancestral world. This death energy was like a parallel space-time.
The coordinates were extremely eye-catching in the vast expanse of space, so eye-catching that Lu Yin could hit them even with his eyes closed.
Bai Wangyuan's reaction was not slow either, and he acted at the same time as Lu Yin's Death God's Slash descended. The white clouds had already covered the Neoverse, so it was impossible for Gui Zu to escape in an instant.
The death energy turned into a rainbow that darkened space, instantly connecting Gui Zu and Lu Yin. Lu Yin suppressed Gou Lian and slashed at Gui Zu.
Gui Zu roared, and his ancestral world appeared once more. However, this time, the black forest kept closing in on Gui Zu, and it actually swallowed Gui Zu.
Lu Yin's expression changed. What was that?
The next moment, a lotus-like object bloomed in space. From a distance, it looked like a lotus flower that was filled with a dark demonic aura. However, up close, it was actually petals that were filled with strange black thorns. It looked like a man-eating flower that could devour anything.
The Death God's Slash descended, and the terrifying man-eating flower split apart before finally shattering. It reformed into Gui Zu, who continuously retreated and coughed up blood. His body was covered in wounds, and he suddenly raised his head.
In the distance, Xia Zhen's eyes narrowed. Was this Wang Fan?
Not only Xia Zhen, but Bai Wangyuan also saw him.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. So it was actually like this?
How?
Could it be one of the Nine Clones?
He had set up this trap to expose the relationship between the Ghost Abyss and the Wang Family.
Xia Ziheng had previously told him that the Wang Family's Yellow Spring was not in the Wang Family Mainland, nor was it in Wang Fan's Sovereign Realm. Instead, it was in the Ghost Abyss. The Wang Family and the Ghost Abyss had an inexplicable relationship.
At that moment, Lu Yin's fear of Wang Fan increased by several levels.
All this time, Bai Wangyuan had been the one to negotiate with the Four Way Scales, and Xia Shenji had been the one to fight with him. Wang Fan and the Dragon Ancestor's presence was not strong, but who would have thought that Wang Fan was the one who had concealed himself the most?
Lu Yin had originally thought that Gui Zu was working with Wang Fan, which was why he had set up this trap to force Gui Zu into a desperate situation and cut off one of Wang Fan's arms. However, he had not expected Gui Zu to be Wang Fan.
Lu Yin did not know what method Wang Fan had used to create an existence similar to the Xia Clan's Nine Clones, allowing him to cultivate into Gui Zu.
He was the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas' Wang Fan, but he was also the Ghost Abyss' Gui Zu.
Lu Yin had originally wanted Bai Wangyuan and the others to force the truth out, but Bai Xianer's breakthrough had left him with no choice.
Fortunately, he had managed to force out the truth about Gui Zu.
Unfortunately, he had not been able to kill Gui Zu. Gui Zu's strength had indeed exceeded his expectations, and he was not much weaker than Xia Shenji. He had been able to withstand the Death God's Slash, and his final form had allowed Lu Yin to see how terrifying Gui Zu's death qi was.
That was Gui Zu's appearance when he used death qi to become an ancestor.
On the other side, Bai Wangyuan's expression was gloomy. He had also made a move, but the one who had blocked him at the crucial moment had been Wang Fan.
Wang Fan's expression was calm as he looked at Lu Yin.
"No wonder you wanted us to swear that we wouldn't attack Gui Zu. No wonder you were in such a hurry to enter. No wonder you blocked me," Bai Wangyuan said in a low voice as he looked at Wang Fan with a strange gaze.
He had known this person for many years, and they were both from the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, but at this moment, he felt like a stranger.
Xia Zhen also looked at Wang Fan with incomparable fear.
Wang Fan stared at Lu Yin. If not for that attack, he would have been able to explain why he had blocked Bai Wangyuan. However, Lu Yin's attack had revealed everything, and Wang Fan could not hide anything.
Why did this little brat attack Gui Zu so heavily?
This was not only Wang Fan's question, but also Bai Wangyuan and the others.
