Chapter 2155: A Finger

Chapter 2102: A Finger

Within the Heavens Sect’s plaza, Lu Yin calmly gazed at Chu Yuan. "Honestly, you’re impressively powerful, and this move is definitely strong enough to kill Sky Garan, Heluo Mavis, or any of the others in an instant. Unfortunately, you’re using it against me."

Chu Yuan's eyes flickered. "Just what did you do during the last twenty years?"

A smile spread across Lu Yin's mouth. "It wasn’t much, but it’s enough for me to beat you."

Chu Yuan took a deep breath and slowly raised his blade before looking straight at Lu Yin. This was his last slash. The blade had already fallen thirty nine times, and Chu Yuan’s limit was forty slashes. This meant he could unleash an attack that was forty times stronger than his full-power attack. This was more than enough to rip apart Lu Yin’s God of Death Transformation.

At first, Chu Yuan’s targets had included Sky Garan and Heluo Mavis as well, but the power that Lu Yin had revealed had forced Chu Yuan to focus all of his efforts on just him. There was no time for Chu Yuan to consider what he would do if this attack failed to eliminate Lu Yin, as he had nothing left. Chu Yuan had never expected to run into such a monster from this era where humanity’s strength and cultivation methods had fallen so far. If Lu Yin had been alive during the Heavens Sect era, it was quite possible that Chu Yuan would never have seen the Origin Progenitor, even with his ability to control the power of time.

The fight between Silver and Heluo Mavis grew more and more chaotic and wild. Heluo Mavis was covered in blood, and Silver’s butterfly knife had been bent. From an outside point of view, Silver should have been utterly crushed long ago.

At this moment, however, the two stopped as one to focus on Chu Yuan. Space was trembling, and everyone could feel it. An incomparable sharpness seeped through the void as Chu Yuan slowly raised his blade once more. "Don’t blame me if you can’t survive."

Lu Yin exhaled. His God of Death Transformation would not survive this attack, but this transformation was also nothing more than his first demonstration of his new-formed power. He had not expected to be forced to use any of his newfound power to defeat Chu Yuan, but surprisingly, Lu Yin had been wrong.

"Starting today, a new era will begin. I, Lu Yin, will lead the Heavens Sect and restore humanity to its former glory," Lu Yin declared, willing his voice to spread across the entire solar system and even all of Frostwave Weave. It almost seemed as though his voice was going to reach every part of the Fifth Mainland.

No one had expected to hear such words from Lu Yin at this moment.

Hen Xin's eyes flickered. The young man had just voiced Hen Xin’s most powerful desires, but the one saying those words was merely an Envoy. Lu Yin still needed to deal with Chu Yuan’s final attack, which meant that he was either insane or absolutely confident in his own victory.

Lu Buzheng grew increasingly nervous, and he desperately wanted to persuade Lu Yin to surrender, but Lu Yin’s sudden announcement indicated his absolute confidence in winning. Lu Buzheng could not figure out what might give Lu Yin such boldness. What would he do? Summon his Champions’ Stage? Use Truesight? Another portion of the God of Death’s inheritance? None of those things would be enough.

At this moment, everyone was focused on Lu Yin and Chu Yuan.

The entire Human Domain fell silent, as they all stared at Chu Yuan's blade.

Chu Yuan's blade fell down. It was clearly a single slash of the blade, but it erupted with the strength of forty. The frozen moment of time started to move again, and all forty blade slashes shot forward, fusing into a single attack that fell down onto Lu Yin's head.

Lu Yin’s eyes snapped open, twinkling like brilliant stars as he stepped forward. A power that mirrored the universe itself instantly moved out from his heart, and this power enveloped the entire plaza with something that resembled a Semi-Progenitor’s inner world. Chu Yuan, Heluo Mavis, and Silver all fell within the range of this phenomena.

What looked like the two sides of a yin yang symbol slowly revolved around Lu Yin’s fatesand in a clean circle. In the middle of this rotating pair, there were star-like dots, as well as a cloudy mist. This was the form that Lu Yin had arranged out of the chaotic energies within his chest. No matter how anyone looked at it, it mirrored the basic structure of the universe itself.

By using the damage from the Origin Progenitor’s sword as a guide, the black and white mist had been given a specific shape. Fatesand acted as the core, and stellular energy formed the outer shell. Combined, they all worked in unison to form the current arrangement in Lu Yin’s chest.

In the past, the black and white mist near his heart had simply been a cloud of mist, and the fatesand had been independent and had hidden those mists. Finally, one of Lu Yin’s stellular energy vortices had been close to his heart as well. These three independent powers had been merged together to form a primitive structure that mimicked the basic structure of the universe, and it provided Lu Yin with the overbearing power that he had just mobilized.

It was a truly unprecedented form of power. It possessed a dominating strength that surpassed the Garan family’s unique power’s, and yet was also more mysterious than death energy. This quasi-inner world was not the only ability that Lu Yin had mastered, but he still did not fully understand his new power yet. Regardless, he was fully confident that it was more than enough for him to deal with Chu Yuan’s attack.

Besides, even if Lu Yin was wrong, he still had the Progenitor Chen’s astral bodies that he had inherited control of after mastering the fifth level of the Cosmic Art. That power alone was enough to make Lu Yin completely invincible.

The slash fell down onto Lu Yin, but the power that he had already released weakened the approaching attack. The slash was clearly right on top of Lu Yin, but it somehow felt extremely far away.

As the fused slash dropped down onto Lu Yin, all that he did to meet the power of forty of Chu Yuan’s attacks was lift a single finger to block it.

When Chu Yuan saw Lu Yin’s response, he was no longer able to hold on. He spat out blood and collapsed. He had pushed himself past his own limits by stacking forty attacks, but Lu Yin responded with nothing more than a single finger. This was simply an impossible outcome.

Heluo Mavis, Sky Garan, and everyone else stared blankly, and only a single word resonated in everyone’s minds: impossible.

This was not only true of the younger people watching, but Semi-Progenitors like Hen Xin and Jue Yi were also stunned into silence. This was more shocking than when Chu Yuan had revealed his ability to control the power of time.

It was impossible, simply impossible. How could such a thing ever happen? Chu Yuan’s attack was powerful enough to force even Semi-Progenitors to take notice of it. So how had Lu Yin stopped it with nothing more than a single finger?

On top of that, what sort of power had Lu Yin enveloped the plaza with? There was no way it was a Semi-Progenitor’s inner world, not when Lu Yin was clearly just a three-tribulation Envoy. How was he manifesting such power?

Even Lu Buzheng, who had been desperately hoping for Lu Yin to somehow survive Chu Yuan's attack, could not believe what he was seeing. Due to the confidence that Lu Yin had shown, Lu Buzheng had considered the possibility of Lu Yin winning, but he had never expected victory to be seized so easily. Lu Buzheng stared at the plaza. Lu Yin had clearly released an inner world, but there was something different about it. On top of that, it was impossible for a three-tribulation Envoy to even possess an inner world. What was going on?

No one could understand what they were seeing, and everyone stared at Lu Yin in stupefaction.

Lu Yin had already experienced such an overwhelming reaction from people once before. When he had first used the God of Death Transformation during the last battle of ZENITH and completely overpowered all the other finalists, the people watching had reacted in the exact same way. However, at this moment, Lu Yin had not only dumbfounded the people of the current era, but also the most talented geniuses of the Heavens Sect era.

They felt that they were staring at a living legend.

"As I’ve declared, I will lead this new era." As Lu Yin lowered his hand, the fused blade slash shattered, and the power that had covered the plaza instantly vanished. He looked up, and his eyes swept over everyone present, paying particular attention to the watching Semi-Progenitors. "During the Heavens Sect era and the Daosource Sect era, humanity reigned supreme. This was always true in the past, and I will lead humanity to the same glory in the future in a new era. I will represent the heavens. Does anyone say otherwise?"

Everyone was still so shocked by what had just happened that no one was able to react to Lu Yin’s words. He was met with absolute silence.

Lu Yin turned to look over at Heluo Mavis. "I know that you’ve been keeping something hidden, so bring it out now. Otherwise, you won’t even have a chance after I make a move."

Heluo Mavis swallowed dryly. "Monster."

Lu Yin looked over at Silver. "What's up with you? We should talk."

While Silver answered with a laugh, it sounded a bit strained. He had also been stunned by Lu Yin’s demonstration of strength, and Silver completely agreed with Heluo Mavis; this person was a monster.

"Captain, I helped you," Silver said.

"That's why we’re still talking. If you had betrayed me and run to Jue Yi, I’d simply kill you," Lu Yin coldly stated.

Silver smiled. "I never betrayed you, Captain. Just say the word, and I’ll follow you right now."

Up in the audience stands, Jue Yi grew furious, and he reached out to deal with Silver. "Impudence!"

Across the plaza, Lu Buzheng blocked Jue Yi’s hand. "This is still the Dao Chosen selection. Just what are you trying to do?"

Jue Yi stared at Lu Buzheng. "I’m simply dealing with a traitor. This has nothing to do with the Dao Chosen selection."

Lu Yin turned to Jue Yi. "When you say traitor, are you referring to him or me?"

Jue Yi stared at Lu Yin. "Can you produce death energy?"

Lu Yin answered with a smile. "Good guess."

Jue Yi's expression changed, and he no longer knew how to respond.

Lu Yin’s voice rose louder. "I can create death energy, and I am the God of Death’s heir. Jue Yi, can you create death energy? No."

"Not only is he unable to produce death energy, but he isn’t even the God of Death’s true disciple." A woman’s voice emerged from the white cloud in the audience stands. "The God of Death never named an heir, and he also never acknowledged Jue Yi as his disciple. Only those destined for it are able to become the God of Death’s disciples, and apparently, his true heir has finally appeared. It is clearly not you, Jue Yi."

Jue Yi’s face twisted horribly as he heard Destina’s words.

Lu Yin continued to stare at Jue Yi. "What else do I need to say? Since I’m clearly the God of Death's heir, and you use his death energy, you must obey me. Isn’t that what you told me long ago?"

Jue Yi stared at Lu Yin, but he had no way to refute those words. He had never even considered the possibility that Lu Yin might actually be able to replicate the God of Death’s true cultivation method. While a suspicion had appeared when Jue Yi had first seen Lu Yin use the God of Death Transformation, only now had Lu Yin confirmed it. Still, Jue Yi could not accept the truth.

Destina had been brutally accurate with her words, as the God of Death had never acknowledged Jue Yi as his disciple. On the other hand, Lu Yin was able to use the God of Death Transformation and produce death energy, which clearly proved that he was the God of Death’s heir.

"What? Do you plan to betray the God of Death?" Lu Yin yelled.

Finally, Hen Xin spoke up. "This is the Dao Chosen selection, not a competition to be the God of Death’s heir. Lu Yin, if you want to be named Dao Chosen, you still need to carry the Origin Progenitor’s statue to the Heavens Sect’s gates. Only then will this selection end."

Lu Yin looked at the statue still standing in the plaza. "Alright then, I’ll first become the Dao Chosen. Then, I’ll clean house."

Hen Xin frowned. Clean house? That was certainly arrogant enough, but even with Lu Buzheng and the other Semi-Progenitors from the Lu Heavenly Gate, there was no way to deal with Jue Yi.

Suddenly, Hen Xin remembered Destina’s announcement. Would she really support Lu Yin without any strings or conditions?

If Lu Yin did become the Dao Chosen, then Destina’s promise would probably prove true.

Hen Xin looked back at Chu Yuan, but the young man had been badly injured. Heluo Mavis clearly had no intention of trying to fight against Lu Yin, while Silver had blatantly stated his intention to betray Jue Yi and follow Lu Yin. Sky Garan was still pinned to the wall, which meant there was not a single person was capable of stopping Lu Yin from becoming the Dao Chosen.

Lu Yin slowly walked over to the statue of the Origin Progenitor. As he walked, he ended the God of Death Transformation, as it was no longer needed.

After arriving in front of the statue, Lu Yin stared at the Origin Progenitor’s relief. This was the man who had founded the Heavens Sect and who had led humanity to their greatest heights. What had happened to him? Humanity was facing an apocalypse, and five of the Six Mainlands had already been destroyed. Was the Origin Progenitor even still alive?

Lu Yin stared at the statue for a long time before finally averting his eyes. He picked up the statue and carried it on his back. Regardless of whether the Origin Progenitor was dead or alive, he had led humanity into an age of prosperity. He was the true Progenitor of humanity and the origin of all of humanity’s cultivation methods. Lu Yin was perfectly willing to carry the statue.

The statue was extremely heavy, to the point where it could crush an Envoy, but such weight meant nothing to Lu Yin.????reewℯ????noѵ????l. cｏ????

Once the statue of the Origin Progenitor was on his back, Lu Yin began to make his way across the plaza and to the gates of the Heavens Sect. Each step took him closer and closer to becoming the Dao Chosen.

Everyone knew that there was no one who could stop Lu Yin at this moment. Not to mention people from the same generation, but even older experts and powerhouses from the Heavens Sect era could do nothing. The only ones with the power to interfere were the Semi-Progenitors now.
