The strange feeling appeared once more as Lu Yin's stream of light continued to revolve around his body. He did not have the ability to see through the seven-star mantis' speed; all he could do was adapt to this speed and hold on tightly to its wings.
The entire spacetime became the seven-star mantis' flying stage.
On the other side, Jiang Qingyue's lips were stained with blood, and her white sword was stained with mottled blood. It was green, and it had come from the Progenitor realm mantis.
The Progenitor realm mantis had seen the seven-star mantis fight with Lu Yin. It was not stupid, and it wanted to leave as well, but it was not the seven-star mantis and did not have that kind of speed. Every time it tried to leave, it would be interrupted by Jiang Qingyue. Even without a sourcebox array, it could not escape.
"Human, you cannot defeat me. Give up. Your target is the boss of the Seven Stars Mantis, and it has nothing to do with me. I promise that I will not target humans in the future," the Progenitor realm mantis said, its voice sharp and piercing.
Jiang Qingyue had fought with it for so long, and both of them had been injured. From the Progenitor realm mantis's point of view, it had not been easy for Jiang Qingyue to fight with it for so long, and it was impossible for her to win.
"Young Master, leave the rest to me," the Dragon Turtle said from within Jiang Qingyue's sleeve.
Jiang Qingyue's tone was cold. "It is my opponent."
The Dragon Turtle had a complicated expression. "Young Master, you are not thinking of using that move, are you?"
Jiang Qingyue did not answer, and her sword slowly lowered.
The Progenitor realm mantis relaxed when it saw her like this. "Human, you have made a wise choice." It then tore through the void to leave.
Suddenly, snowflakes danced in the deep darkness of space. It was unknown where they had come from, but it was bone-chilling.
The Progenitor realm mantis was confused, and it had a bad premonition. It hurriedly tore through the void, but it discovered that its movements had slowed. A white sword had appeared behind Jiang Qingyue at some point. This sword was identical to the one in her hand, but it gave off an inexplicable sense of sorrow.
The Dragon Turtle sighed. This sword had belonged to Kong Tianzhao, the one who had died.
Jiang Qingyue had two masters. One had defeated the other, and the other had died. That battle had become a scene that Jiang Qingyue would never forget for the rest of her life. With the support of Shi, her other master had appeared.
This sword represented the other Kong Tianzhao, that powerful man.
The white longsword slowly descended, overlapping with the sword in Jiang Qingyue's hand. The Ancestor realm mantis stared blankly at the other side. This human had changed. It seemed to see another shadow. White robes and a white sword, standing aloof from the world. Under the dancing snowflakes, he took a step forward, and when he appeared again, he was already in front of it.
The Progenitor realm mantis subconsciously raised its arm blade and slashed out.
..
With a soft sound, the two arm blades broke apart at the same time. The incision was smooth and clean, and a white shadow flashed past.
Jiang Qingyue was still standing in place, looking at it coldly.

Nobody could help her.
Looking up, the seven-star mantis shuttled through the sky. They couldn't see it.
They only knew that spacetime was fragmenting.
Lu Yin grabbed the mantis's wings tightly. He had no time to care about Jiang Qingyue. He was experiencing the speed of time. As time passed, his feet moved. He understood the changes that Progenitor Chen had imparted to him. Now, he just had to incorporate those changes into his speed.
The seven-star mantis's heart was crumbling. It liked to toy with human nature, but in another sense, it was being toyed with by human nature.
It was afraid of death and wanted to escape, but it couldn't.
The human on its back had the ability to kill it at any time, but he just wouldn't. This feeling of despair caused it to crumble. The humans who had been toyed with by it felt the same way.
This was a game, a game of life and death.
It didn't want to play this game anymore. The word "game" was a nightmare, an abyss.
The sense of dissonance gradually disappeared, and Lu Yin's footsteps became smoother and smoother. He was getting used to the speed and the changes.
He looked around and saw the Seven-star Praying Mantis flapping its wings and saw its trajectory. He gradually understood what the speed of parallel time was. Perhaps he was still unable to successfully reverse time to parallel time, but he was already a beginner and was not far from success. In other words, he could succeed at any time.
At the same time, the seven-star mantis's mentality was on the verge of collapse. It knew that there was no way it could escape this human. The feeling of a guillotine hanging over its head was too terrifying. It had to rely on itself to escape.
It had seen too much of human nature. Humans' greatest weakness was not selfishness, cowardice, or fear of death, but their emotions.
Its long, narrow eyes suddenly stared into the distance at Jiang Qingyue. It gradually slowed down, raised its arm blade, and slashed down. At the same time, it raised its blade again and slashed at Elder Chan.
Two slashes were enough to kill these two humans. It wanted Lu Yin to make a choice. He could either save them or let them die with him.
It had deliberately slowed down to give Lu Yin enough time to save both of them at the same time. That way, it would have enough time to escape.
It did not believe that Lu Yin would be able to stop it while saving them. No matter how strong this human was, there was a limit to his strength.
However, it did not know that there were other creatures besides Lu Yin and the others present.
Facing the seven-star mantis's blade, the Dragon Turtle and the Hellwyrm reacted at the same time. The Dragon Turtle blocked in front of Jiang Qingyue while the Hellwyrm raised its claws to grab the blade that was slashing at Elder Chan.
Both attacks were blocked at the same time.
The seven-star mantis was shocked. There were more enemies?
"You're courting death!" Lu Yin roared and slammed down with his slipper, shattering the mantis's wings.
The mantis howled and frantically twisted its body, but its speed had also decreased.
Its wings were the key to maintaining its speed, but now that they had been destroyed, it could no longer increase its speed.
"Human, I'll kill you!"
The mantis's body suddenly shriveled up, and Lu Yin slammed down with his slipper on its back, shattering it. However, before that happened, a much smaller mantis crawled out of its body. This was the mantis's true body, and its huge exterior was just a shell. This was its life-saving technique.
The smaller mantis's true body also had six pairs of wings, and as it spread its wings, its speed increased to a level comparable to that of time. Escape! It would definitely have its revenge, but it had to escape first.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold as he tried to reverse time and parallel time.
At that moment, the universe stopped, and only he and the mantis were moving. Lu Yin stared at the mantis closely.
The mantis frantically chased after Lu Yin, its reverse steps becoming smoother and smoother.
The mantis turned around in shock. How was this possible?
This human had caught up to it?
Previously, it had relied on time to prevent Lu Yin from leaving, but now it was certain that this human had reached a speed similar to its own. How was this possible?
How did he do it?
The mantis could not figure it out no matter how hard it racked its brain.
Lu Yin had lamented more than once that Progenitor Chen had a unique talent in the creation of battle techniques. It was simply unparalleled, and now that he had experienced the speed of the mantis, this feeling was even more profound.
If he could catch up to the mantis's speed, Lu Yin would have a way to stop it or even kill it.
Its life-saving technique could only be used once, but it could not be used a second time.
General Appointment Platform.
One, two, three … ten, eleven, twelve … The mantis stared blankly at the Progenitors surrounding it, stunned. Where did so many powerhouses come from?
Summoning so many Progenitors was not easy for Lu Yin. Fortunately, he had an endless amount of astral sources in his body, which was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Even Progenitors did not have as many astral sources as he did.
Only with so many astral sources could he guarantee that he could summon so many Progenitors.
In the end, seventeen Progenitors were summoned, and they covered the entire spacetime. Even though the Seven-Star Praying Mantis had a speed comparable to that of time, it was still unable to surpass Lu Yin's speed and awareness. Lu Yin did not need these summoned Progenitors to cause any harm to the Seven-Star Praying Mantis; all he needed was to stall for time.
The arm blade slashed out, and the Progenitors were split in two. Then, one after another, they were cut down and reduced to nothingness.
The mantis wanted to tear through the void and leave, but under the influence of the sourcebox array, it did not even need a second to tear through the void. Even a second was a luxury for the mantis.
One Progenitor after another was cut into nothingness. Lu Yin continued to approach, and the threat he posed to the mantis increased. The mantis wailed again, "Master Lu, I'll submit to you and not resist. You also want a powerhouse like me to help you deal with the Eternals, right? I can even join the Eternals and help you uncover their secrets. Master Lu, let me go. I don't want to die."
Lu Yin did not say a word. The mantis had to die, as its last bit of value had disappeared.
Its death was to pay tribute to the humans it had killed.
They were from different races, and Lu Yin would not say that the mantis was wrong. However, as a human, he had to take revenge. This was his principle.
The mantis saw that Lu Yin was still approaching, and there were still nearly half a Progenitor around. If it continued to be delayed, Lu Yin would catch up sooner or later. The mantis had been able to contend with Lu Yin because of its speed, and the Eternals also cared about its speed. Without its advantage in speed, the mantis was not much stronger than a Progenitor who had yet to reach the Sequence Laws.
"Master Lu, I can help you a lot. You humans need me." The mantis was still begging.
Lu Yin looked at it. "Last one. Kill."
The mantis shuddered. This was one of the rules of the game it had set in the first five of the seven continents. It was to only kill the last person in a team to bring about despair and struggle for humanity. Now, it had become the last person Lu Yin wanted to kill.
"Master Lu, are you really going to fight me?" The mantis's tone changed, and its voice became sharp. Its eyes were ferocious.
Another Progenitor blocked its path, but it was cut off by the mantis' arm blade. The mantis turned around, faced Lu Yin, and then charged at him.
Lu Yin was stunned. It was actually charging at him?
No, what was this?
