Fengbo stood there in a daze, his eyes unfocused. His entire body shrank as his body slowly collapsed.
Lu Yin panted heavily as beads of sweat dripped from his forehead and flowed down his arms. The Overturning Sky Palm had pushed him to his limit.
Overturning that continent was easier said than done, as that was a power that could make up for the gap between him and the Seven Skygods. If this palm still couldn't kill Fengbo, then Lu Yin would truly be powerless and would have to break through to the Ancestor realm.
Fortunately, the gap had been closed in the end.
Hongyan Mavis walked out of the bamboo forest and looked at Lu Yin in amazement. From this moment onwards, this child had truly reached their level. Since ancient times, who would have dared to imagine that a Half-Ancestor would be able to reach this level?
Even her master had never imagined that someone would reach this level in the future.
Once this child broke through to the Progenitor realm, what kind of scene would that be?
Who in this universe would be able to fight against him?
Perhaps only those old freaks who had undergone Bitter Adversity would be able to resist him.
Lu Yin walked towards Fengbo step by step. At this moment, Fengbo was like a lamp that had run out of oil, and he couldn't even use the slightest bit of strength. He lay on the ground as if he were dead, mumbling something.
Lu Yin was shrouded in shadows as he looked down at Fengbo from above.
Hongyan Mavis also walked over and looked at Fengbo. She had been trapped in the mirage domain by this person for so many years, and now, it was finally over.
"I can't accept this. I shouldn't have lost. This universe is restricting me. My soul has many transformations, and I still have the ability. I can't accept this, I can't accept this, I can't accept this …"
Lu Yin looked at Fengbo. "Do you regret betraying the second mainland?"
Fengbo acted as if he hadn't heard Lu Yin's words, and he continued to speak in a low voice. His conviction had been completely crushed.
If Lu Yin had been a Sequence Law expert, even a Progenitor, he would not have reacted in such a manner. However, Lu Yin was just a Half-Ancestor. To him, a Half-Ancestor was like an ant. Even the servant who had watered the Mavis Divine Tree with him had only reached this level of cultivation.
How could a mere Half-Ancestor defeat him?
How?
Lu Yin looked at Hongyan Mavis, and she walked over. "Old Fengbo."
Fengbo's eyes trembled as they focused on Hongyan Mavis.
"The vengeance of my Mavis Clan has been avenged." Hongyan Mavis slowly said.
Fengbo looked at Hongyan Mavis, and his originally bewildered expression changed to one of insanity. He let out a terrifying laugh, "Report?
Where should I report it?
I'm just a chess piece. What will truly destroy your Mavis Clan is Eternity, a race destined to rule the universe in the future. Hongyan, from the moment you accepted me into the Mavis Clan, the Mavis Clan was destined to disappear, and so was humanity. "
"Hahahaha, I haven't lost. I'm just leaving first. Whether it's you or that brat, you'll follow in my footsteps. You don't understand, you can't see, and you can't see."
Hongyan Mavis had a complicated look in her eyes. "The humans can have the Eternals as their mortal enemy, but the Eternals also need the humans as their mortal enemy."
These words caused the smile on Feng Bo's face to disappear. He seemed to have thought of something. He opened his mouth and let out a shrill cry, "Eternal, you lied to me!"
Lu Yin frowned and looked at Hongyan Mavis in confusion.
Hongyan Mavis no longer spoke and walked towards the River of Time.
Lu Yin's gaze landed on Fengbo once more, and he raised a hand. He had decided to end this man's life while he was at it. Fengbo was not a Corpse King, which meant that Lu Yin could choose a general. With Lu Yin's current strength, he should be qualified to take on such a powerhouse.
Once a peak expert like Fengbo appeared, Lu Yin would be able to face off against one of the Seven Skygods alone without knowing their methods.
He would still be able to put up a fight.
Fengbo shrieked and cursed the only True God with hatred.
Lu Yin's palm landed, ending Fengbo's life.
Fengbo's shrieks disappeared, and the mirage domain returned to normal.
Lu Yin exhaled; it was finally over.
He had a complete understanding of Fengbo's methods, and he had only won after many intense battles. If not for Hongyan Mavis, then even if he had the strength to win, Fengbo would definitely have been able to escape.
Lu Yin did not underestimate any of the Seven Skygods, as such powerhouses were rather difficult to deal with.
The Fengbo appeared. "In my name, Fengbo!"
Boom! Lu Yin's brain buzzed, and before he could even react, he had already fallen to the ground and lost consciousness.
Hongyan Mavis was shocked. "Little Seven!"
She hurriedly checked on Lu Yin, only to see that he was bleeding from his seven orifices. His originally black hair had turned white. What was going on?
It was just a Fengbo. Had he suffered a backlash?
Hongyan Mavis brought Lu Yin into the wooden house in the bamboo forest and put him down. She checked him again and found no injuries, but he was still unconscious.
No matter how she looked at it, he had suffered a backlash. She knew about the Lu family's Fengbo's ability, and she also knew that once a Fengbo was chosen, he would suffer a backlash. However, Fengbo's strength had not exceeded his own by much, and he had been the one to defeat him from start to finish. Why had this happened?
All Hongyan Mavis could do was wait for Lu Yin to wake up.
This time, he had been unconscious for even longer than the time he had spent in his epiphany and his transformation into the mortal world.
Hongyan Mavis had visited him several times in an attempt to wake him up, but she had failed every time.
That was until Lu Yin woke up on his own.
Lu Yin had a dream in which the universe had shattered, and his entire body had been reduced to dust along with it. This feeling was excruciating, and he had endured it more than once. He had endured this pain over and over again, as if he would one day be reduced to dust along with the universe.
He opened his eyes, but they were blurry.
"Little Seven, how are you?"
Hongyan Mavis's voice traveled over, but he could not hear it clearly. It took a while for his vision to clear.
"Senior." Lu Yin opened his mouth, but his voice was hoarse.
Hongyan Mavis helped him up and asked worriedly, "Little Seven, what happened?
Did you suffer a backlash? "
Lu Yin was confused. "I don't know either."
"Then how did you faint?"
"It was Fengbo who was chosen."
Hongyan Mavis continued, "It seems to be a backlash. I heard from Fertile Earth that the Fengbo's Fengbo is easy to suffer from a backlash. If one chooses someone who is much stronger than them, the backlash will be very severe."
Lu Yin was certain. "It's not a backlash. I've experienced it before. When an Emissary chose a Half-Ancestor, it didn't feel like this, but …" He carefully thought about it, and it seemed to be the same feeling again.
But no matter how he thought about it, it should not have been. He had defeated Fengbo by himself, and the gap between them should not have been that great. He should have been able to choose a Fengbo. He had defeated the Cyclops King with his previous strength, and now, in the mirage domain, he had chosen Fengbo with his own strength. The gap between the two was about the same, and it was even more dangerous for him to choose the Cyclops King. After all, it was very difficult for him to defeat the Cyclops King alone.
So why had he suffered a backlash?
And even if it had, the consequences had been so severe that he had not even had time to react.
Lu Yin suddenly thought of something and hurriedly looked at Hongyan Mavis.
"Senior, where's Fengbo's corpse?"
Hongyan Mavis did not understand why Lu Yin was asking this. "It's still here. Do you still want to choose a Fengbo?"
Lu Yin shook his head and walked out of the wooden house. Fengbo's corpse was still in the same spot, untouched.
Hongyan Mavis could not have brought Fengbo's corpse into the bamboo forest.
Lu Yin looked at Fengbo's corpse again, but it had not changed much since the moment of his death. A single drop of blood from such a powerhouse was enough to crush the heavens, and his corpse would not decay so easily.
Lu Yin wanted to look at Fengbo's forehead to see if it was the same as the negative karma.
However, since Fengbo's corpse was still here, it was different from the negative karma.
Lu Yin looked at Fengbo's corpse and was still confused. How could he have suffered such a severe backlash? Could it have been a problem with his cultivation?
That could not be right either. The Cyclops King was a powerhouse who had comprehended the laws of the Sequence, and his cultivation far surpassed Lu Yin's.
"Senior, do you know where this Fengbo came from? I seem to have heard him mention more than once that he did not belong to this universe," Lu Yin asked.
Hongyan Mavis shook her head. "The first time I met him was on the second continent. Before he betrayed the second continent, he never mentioned anything about not belonging to this universe. It was only when he revealed his identity and pushed down the Divine Tree that he revealed his true strength, especially the form of the God of the Nine Heavens. You saw it yourself; even I might not have been able to break through his defenses easily. This person's cultivation method is completely different from ours."
Lu Yin looked at Hongyan Mavis. "Parallel space-time?"
Hongyan Mavis shook her head. "It doesn't seem like it. If it's a parallel space-time, then there shouldn't be any restrictions on one's strength. Do you remember what he said before he died? He said that his soul form could not be fully displayed. His unwillingness to die was because he could not display his full strength. A parallel space-time does not restrict one's strength, especially for a powerhouse like him. He has already walked his own path and does not need to rely on the strength he once cultivated."
Lu Yin frowned. She was right.
Progenitors were not limited by the strength they cultivated. For example, the people of the Fifth Mainland needed to absorb astral sources to fight before they reached the Progenitor realm. Once they reached the Progenitor realm, even if they did not walk their own path and still relied on astral sources, the boundless astral sources that the Progenitor World absorbed were enough for them to fight in a parallel space-time.
Then what did she mean by not belonging to this universe?
Hongyan Mavis did not know, and Lu Yin did not dwell on it. His head was still dizzy, and he needed to rest.
Not long after, Lu Yin looked at himself in the mirror and sighed. He smiled bitterly. "It's really serious this time. I seem to have aged a bit, and I even have white hair."
Hongyan Mavis smiled. "You're not old. White hair makes you look more mature."
Lu Yin laughed. "I've never thought about what I look like when I'm old. With my current cultivation, I can't live forever, but I won't age. Senior, do you want to leave?"
Hongyan Mavis nodded. "I stayed here to delay Fengbo. Now that he's dead, I should leave. However, I've lost most of my strength, and I won't be able to help you much even if I leave."
Lu Yin asked, "Why did you lose strength?
Are you injured beyond recovery? "
Hongyan Mavis sighed. "I lost the Progenitor World. I lost the source of my strength."
Lu Yin did not understand. "How can you lose the Progenitor World?"
Hongyan Mavis met Lu Yin's gaze. "One day, when you reach a certain realm, any of your strength will be able to materialize. Master once said that he wasn't even sure if the universe we live in is someone else's Progenitor World."
Lu Yin's expression changed, and he felt a chill. "That joke isn't funny."
