The Seven-Star Praying Mantis came to a sudden stop as it approached Lu Yin, then flew off in another direction. Lu Yin hurriedly chased after it, only to find that the mantis had changed directions again, leaving him confused.
After a few times, Lu Yin realized that the mantis had left seven spots in space, and he was surrounded by the seven spots.
"Seven Star Slash."
The mantis' arm blades fell, and Lu Yin tried to rush out of the encirclement, but it was too late. The spot closest to him exploded with a slash, and the seven spots connected. The first spot exploded with one slash, the second with two slashes, the third with four slashes, and so on until the seventh spot exploded with thirty-two slashes.
Lu Yin casually shattered the first slash with his slipper. Although it was powerful enough to kill a Progenitor, it was not a threat to him.
The most troublesome part was the number.
The seventh spot had thirty-two slashes, and the power was the same as the first. This meant that Lu Yin had to endure thirty-two slashes from the mantis.
It might have been a killing move to others, but it was not a threat to Lu Yin. He had faced similar moves more than once, and the most recent one had been the Moon Immortal's Moonlight Slash from the Tri-Moon Alliance. Every slash had the same power, and the mantis had used numbers to suppress him. Unfortunately, numbers were useless against him.
The slippers shattered the slashes one by one. Since the Seven-star Mantis needed to perform slashes, it could not move away. It was controlling the seven points.
Seeing that the slashes were ineffective against Lu Yin, the mantis' expression turned sinister. "Seven Stars as One."
As soon as he finished speaking, the seven dots appeared once more, and a hundred and twenty-eight slashes shot towards Lu Yin, covering the sky and the earth.
Space itself was torn to shreds.
The Dragon Turtle hurriedly brought Jiang Qingyue and Zhao Ran out of this space-time. The Caged Wyrm and Elder Chan left as well, leaving only Lu Yin and the mantis.
Fortunately, everyone who had been brought to this space-time by Lu Yin and the others were all gathered on the Caged Wyrm's back. Otherwise, they would not have been able to leave.
The entire space-time was shattering.
Lu Yin no longer used his slipper to block the slashes. Instead, his entire body was covered with Palm Realm battle force, and he took them head-on.
The mantis was shocked. Its attacks were not weak, and there were so many of them. A hundred and twenty-eight slashes was something that even Sequence Laws powerhouses would be wary of, but this person was actually taking them head-on?
Lu Yin faced the onslaught of attacks head-on and took a step forward, smashing through many of the attacks. He then faced the mantis and raised his slipper, slamming it down.
In the praying mantis' eyes, Lu Yin had transformed into a giant, and he gave it a sense of despair and a sense of fatal danger. It wanted to escape, but it couldn't. The Seven Stars Slash was a battle technique that it had created, and once it was used, especially when the seven stars were combined, the mantis' body would be connected to the seven points, making it impossible for it to escape. If that wasn't the case, it would have used it a long time ago.
He had only used it in this life and death situation, but he hadn't expected that it would still be unable to harm Lu Yin.
"Master Lu, I beg you."
There was a thump, and before the mantis could even finish its sentence, Lu Yin had smacked it to death with his slipper. Even in death, the mantis had never imagined that it would die one day.
It thought it was fast enough that even the Eternals would be wary of it.
It thought it wouldn't be targeted because it hadn't completely interfered in the war between the humans and the Eternals.
It just liked to play games, that's all. But this human just wouldn't let it go. It had already submitted to him, and it was already so strong.
Lu Yin gripped his slipper and panted heavily as he watched the mantis' corpse float in the air. He let out a deep breath; it was over.
Ever since he had broken through to Half-Progenitor, aside from the powerhouses of the Sequence Laws, all other Progenitors were about the same in his eyes. There was nothing that he couldn't deal with, but the mantis had shown him a different side.
The Sequence Laws weren't the only way to become stronger. Regardless of whether it was strength, speed, or strength, once one reached a certain level, they would all possess extraordinary strength.
This mantis had just happened to run into him. If it had been anyone else, even Patriarch Tianyi, they might not have been able to kill it.
When he thought of this, Lu Yin immediately called out a general.
"In my name, I call out a general."
When he saw the mantis brand appear on the stage, Lu Yin relaxed and became excited.
He didn't care about the mantis. First, this beast had to pay the price for what it had done. Second, he didn't need it to submit to him. As long as it was willing, Lu Yin could use its strength. This was the terrifying aspect of the Lu family.
There were now nineteen Progenitors in Lu Yin's Selection Stage. In the past, the strongest had been the Cyclops King, but now, it was the Seven Star Mantis. After all, the Cyclops King had lost the power of the sequence, while the Seven Star Mantis had full strength.
Before this, Lu Yin had called out astral beasts, such as the Amethyst Beast and the Sylvan Dragon Lord. They were all astral beasts, so he could naturally call out the mantis.
With the mantis, Lu Yin was even more confident in fighting against the powerhouses from the outer realms.
In the surroundings, the starry sky continued to crack open, revealing the void of the world.
This spacetime had been completely destroyed, but fortunately, there weren't any living creatures. This was also why Lu Yin had specifically chosen this spacetime; it was small and had few living creatures.
Not long after, Lu Yin arrived at the spacetime where the mantis was and looked at the seven continents in the distance. There were so many mantises there that they didn't know that the mantis and the Progenitor had already been killed.
When she saw Lu Yin arrive, Jiang Qingyue relaxed.
"The mantis is dead?" Elder Chan asked anxiously.
The dragon turtle also looked at Lu Yin. The mantis was a creature that even the Lightning Lord cared about.
Lu Yin smiled. "It's time to call out a general."
Elder Chan laughed.
Jiang Qingyue relaxed.
The dragon turtle opened its mouth. "What a monster."
Calling out the mantis meant that Lu Yin officially had the confidence to fight against a powerhouse who controlled the laws of the Sequence. This was a qualitative change, and it was also their greatest guarantee for this trip.
Lu Yin looked at the seven continents in the distance. "I'll use these mantises in exchange for the recognition of this spacetime."
With that, he disappeared.
"Young Master, Old Master will definitely be satisfied with this son-in-law. He can even deal with the mantis. Although that thing isn't very strong, its speed is top-notch, and it has enough ability to stay alive. Old Master will wake up laughing when he sees it die," the dragon turtle praised.
Jiang Qingyue ignored the dragon turtle's words and looked at the seven continents. The mantis?
That might not be what Lu Yin cares about the most. His goal this time was to find a parallel spacetime with a different flow of time. If there were enough of these spacetimes, what kind of transformation would it bring him?
Elder Chan's face was still a little pale. His sneak attack had failed in the previous battle, and he had thought that victory was hopeless. He hadn't expected Lu Yin to still be able to create a miracle. What he had grasped was unimaginable, and he would definitely be able to lead humanity to greater heights in the future.
The spacetime where the mantis resided had a flow of eighty times, which was a lot. It was worth it to pay a higher price for this.
Lu Yin had waited for thirty-five years to battle the mantis. After that, he swept through the seven continents as quickly as possible and completely exterminated the mantises that took pleasure in slaughtering humans. After that, he spent another ten years to become the spiritual pillar of everyone on the seven continents before he was finally recognized by this spacetime. The time that he could look back in time had increased to two hundred and forty-five seconds.
With an additional eighty seconds, Lu Yin had a different feeling about the time that he could look back in time.
Previously, he had sensed that looking back in time might not be the true use of the time. Now, this feeling was growing stronger.
He had a feeling that he was about to grasp something, but he still lacked the time to look back.
He had to continue searching for a parallel spacetime with a different flow of time.
He had spent forty-five years in the mantis' spacetime, but only half a year had passed in the Origin Space.
It had been more than three years since he had left the Above Heaven's Sect. It was time for him to return to prevent any accidents. Of course, he also had to settle the people here before he left to prevent any mantises from not returning.
He had to rely on the compass to leave, but returning was very simple. He could just return to the Eternal Kingdom.
The void distorted, and the Caged Wyrm disappeared from this spacetime.
Less than an hour after Lu Yin and the others left, a figure arrived in this spacetime. If Lu Yin was here, he would definitely recognize this person as one of the captains of the True God Guard.
The Middle Plate had come to search for the mantis since the Eternals needed the mantis' help.
However, he quickly discovered that the mantises had all disappeared from the seven continents, and this spacetime had changed greatly.
The Middle Plate returned to the Disaster Zone and reported this matter.
After Lu Yin and the others returned to the Above Heaven's Sect and confirmed that it was peaceful, they set off again to continue searching for a parallel spacetime with a different flow of time.
In the blink of an eye, another two years passed. To Lu Yin and the others, it was not just two years, but sixty years. Lu Yin's time had also increased by twenty-five seconds, reaching two hundred and seventy seconds.
Over the years, he had brought Elder Chan, Jiang Qingyue, and the others to wander through parallel spacetime and did not encounter any danger.
Zhao Ran was still as naive and happy as ever. As long as someone drank her tea, there was nothing unusual.
Jiang Qingyue was still the same, but her gaze had softened when she looked at Lu Yin. Lu Yin now knew how she had killed the Progenitor mantis.
It was both a killer move and an inner demon. This situation was the most dangerous in the Progenitor's Origin Tribulation. However, Jiang Qingyue was from White Cloud City, and her cultivation path was different from Astral Source's. No matter which path she chose, it was not easy to reach the Progenitor realm. If she did not overcome her inner demon, she would eventually pay a heavy price.
Elder Chan had long since recovered the price of using Lu Tianyi's power.
The most noteworthy person was the Ghost Monkey. That damned monkey had actually said that he felt like he had broken through to the Progenitor realm, which left Lu Yin speechless. Had this guy cultivated before?
Aside from the increase in Time Reversal, Lu Yin had also become much more proficient in using time reversal. He felt that he would one day reach Mister Mu's level of cultivation, which could cause time to stop when he appeared. That would be impressive.
"Be careful, we're almost there."
Although the chances of encountering danger were low, Lu Yin would always warn Elder Chan every time they arrived at a new parallel spacetime.
The next parallel spacetime that they would arrive at was not one with a different flow of time, but rather a normal one. Only by using the compass to determine their direction would they be able to find a parallel spacetime with a different flow of time.
The void distorted, and the Caged Wyrm appeared. It vigilantly scanned its surroundings, but there was no danger. Eh, it was so beautiful up ahead.
Lu Yin and the others also looked up ahead. The heavens should have been deep and dark. They had been to many parallel spacetimes, and there had been very few exceptions. However, up ahead, they saw a faint radiance that resembled clouds. It extended into the heavens, just like the Fifth Mainland.
