Chapter 2106: Stepping On The Stars

Jue Yi's expression quickly darkened. "I still have not seen for myself whether you can actually produce death energy. Even if you can, that’s nothing more than a coincidence. I am the God of Death’s disciple. I will be the one to inherit the God of Death’s power!"

Lu Yin sneered. "That’s ridiculous—a disciple of the God of Death who can't even create death energy? If death energy runs out, will you still be the God of Death’s disciple?"

Jue Yi’s eyes went wide at that instant, as Lu Yin had just voiced the man’s greatest fear. The God of Death had still been alive during the Heavens Sect era, so Jue Yi had been able to find death energy. With the disappearance of the Progenitor, it meant that the God of Death’s inheritance was as good as gone.

"As long as I become a Progenitor, I will be able to create death energy. I will admit that you have also received the inheritance of the God of Death, but once I become a Progenitor, I will become the new God of Death," Jue Yi retorted.

Lu Yin started to mock the man. "If it was that easy to become a Progenitor, then why has no one in the entire Fifth Mainland done so in so long? Really, can you be any more arrogant? Even if you become a Progenitor, it will be impossible for you to actually create death energy. Only I can do that, as I am the God of Death’s heir."

"Lu Yin, why did you capture Hen San?" Hen Xin stepped forward, finally reacting to the previous matter.

Lu Buzheng instantly appeared in front of Lu Yin, and he looked at the young man. Had Lu Yin pulled away after defeating Chu Yuan? Did he really believe that just the support of Destina was enough for him to truly represent the heavens? Did Lu Yin actually believe himself to be equal to a Semi-Progenitor?

Lu Yin just looked at Hen Xin. "I wanted to capture him, so I did."

Lu Buzheng's expression changed. Lu Yin was being too aggressive, and it was clear that he was not taking Hen Xin seriously at all.

Arch-Elder Zen stared at Lu Yin in disbelief. The child must have gone mad!

Jiu Yao found the entire situation quite odd, as this was not the Lu Yin that he was familiar with at all.

Destina watched with curiosity. Something had to be wrong with Lu Yin for him to exhibit such bizarre behavior.

Hen Xin became enraged, and he charged at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin suddenly pulled out the Origin Progenitor's sword. "This can allow the Heavens Sect to be truly established. Do you recognize it?"

Everyone stared at the Origin Progenitor's sword. It looked like a completely ordinary sword, as nothing about it looked special.

"The Origin Progenitor's sword?" Jiu Yao was shocked. He had seen this sword stab Lu Yin in the heart in the Daosource Sect’s main hall. During the Dao Chosen selection, he had actually wondered where the Origin Progenitor's sword had gone. He had guessed that it might have remained in Lu Yin's possession, but actually seeing Lu Yin hold it gave the Semi-Progenitor a shock despite his previous suspicions.

"Is that really the Origin Progenitor's sword?" Jue Yi was stunned.

Hen Xin stared at the Origin Progenitor's sword with greed blazing in his eyes. If this was true, then Lu Yin’s words were absolutely correct. Only with the Origin Progenitor’s sword could there truly be a Heavens Sect, as the swords signified authenticity.

Hen Xin’s determination to reestablish the Heavens Sect was not just because he wanted the fame. There was also a legend in his original era that said only the Dao Monarchs were granted the privilege of knowing the universe’s greatest secret.

After awakening in the modern era with Chu Yuan and the others, Hen Xin had only learned of the existence of the Origin Progenitor's sword after Chu Yuan had returned. It was possible that, once Hen Xin became a true Dao Monarch, he would be able to access that great secret through the Origin Progenitor's sword.

While no one had mentioned the Origin Progenitor’s sword after Lu Yin's reappearance, everyone had been thinking about it. At this moment, the sword was right in front of them. They had all assumed that Lu Yin would keep the treasure hidden, as even the protection of someone like Lu Buzheng would not be enough for Lu Yin to retain the sword. After all, it was the greatest treasure in the entire universe.

Lu Yin held the Origin Progenitor's sword in a hand as he glanced around at Hen Xin, Jue Yi, Destina, and the other gatemasters. "That's right, this is the Origin Progenitor's sword. Do you want it?"

Silence reigned atop Mount Tai. Not even the gatemasters of the six Heavenly Gates had any idea how they should react at this moment. Did they want it? Of course! But how?

Boom!

Lu Yin stabbed the Origin Progenitor's sword into the ground, and the hilt trembled. "If you want it, grab it."

Everyone stared at the sword that had been thrust into the ground. No one said a word.

Jiu Yao stepped forward and moved to grab the sword, but he suddenly thought of something, and his face grew pale as he snatched his hand back. He looked over at Lu Yin. "Will I end up the same as her if I touch it?"

Lu Yin immediately understood that Jiu Yao was referring to Forgotten Ruins God. "Yep."

Jiu Yao stared into Lu Yin's eyes, trying to determine if the youth was lying or not, but it was impossible to know for sure. In the end, Jiu Yao did not dare to take such a risk. He stared blankly at the Origin Progenitor's sword. It was so, so close, and yet Jiu Yao did not dare to reach out and touch it.

Finally, Hen Xin tore his eyes away from the sword, and he looked at Lu Yin. "Do you believe that holding this sword that represents the true and original Heavens Sect allows you to act however you wish?"

Lu Yin stretched out a hand and set it upon the hilt of the sword. "During the end of the Dao Chosen selection, I said that I would be the one to lead the Heavens Sect and guide humanity into a new era."

He took a step forward with his right foot. Stars revolved around him, and they resonated with astral bodies throughout the universe as the pattern on the bottom of his foot flickered. At that moment, Lu Yin saw countless stars swirling around. The stars of the Fifth Mainland overlapped with the stars revolving around Lu Yin at this moment.

It was as though Lu Yin was the master of the universe, as if he had replaced the Fifth Mainland’s sky. He was stepping across the stars.

This time, it was different from when Lu Yin had first used this ability. This time, he made no effort to hide the resonance that connected him to the Fifth Mainland, and the terrifying power that he tapped into left everyone instantly dumbfounded. This was the power of a Progenitor. This was the strength of Progenitor Chen!

Forget the current era where the Fifth Mainland had no Progenitors at all—even in the Daosource Sect era or the Heavens Sect era, Progenitor Chen had wielded invincible power. He had controlled two Mountains and one Sea, and no one knew just how powerful the man had truly been.

When Lu Yin resonated with the stars left behind by Progenitor Chen, Hen Xin and the other gatemasters were instantly suppressed and forced back. No one could approach Lu Yin at this moment.

Lu Yin quite enjoyed the feeling of being in control of everything. His thoughts drifted from one star to another. He moved to the western reaches of the Innerverse, which was the battlefront of the war between humanity and the Aeternals. There, Lu Yin saw three Semi-Progenitors: Leng Qing, Wang Si, and an unknown woman. He also saw countless explosions, as well as an endless horde of Aeternus’s monsters. Finally, there was Marqui Wu Yi.

Lu Yin’s mind danced across the entire battlefield, and as it did so, several stars stopped moving.

Leng Qing and the other Semi-Progenitors all instantly looked up. "The power of a Progenitor?"

In the past, only the Sixth Mainland’s three Progenitors had been capable of wielding the might of a Progenitor within the Fifth Mainland. However, those three possessed a completely different level of power from what was taking place at this moment. This seemingly infinite strength replaced the universe itself, which was more terrifying than anything anyone had ever imagined.

As for the Aeternals, Marquis Wu Yi's expression changed drastically. Ever since Marquis Green Bamboo's death, the man had been rather nervous. He simply could not understand how Marquis Green Bamboo had died. It was at this moment that Marquis Wu Yi finally received an answer: a terrifyingly powerful Progenitor had appeared in the Fifth Mainland. This individual was clearly not an ordinary Progenitor, and even the mental network that had suppressed the entire Fifth Mainland twenty years ago was far weaker than what had just appeared.

The strength that the Semi-Progenitors sensed was overbearing and full of killing intent, not to mention filled with the desire to dominate all things.

Marquis Wu Yi took off in a desperate attempt to escape. He had to get away, as this new power had completely enveloped the Aeternals’ forces, clearly intent on destroying them.

At this moment, Lu Yin was experiencing something novel. He could see Marquis Wu Yi fleeing, but to Lu Yin, it looked as though Marquis Wu Yi was a tiny ant trying to escape from Lu Yin’s own Cosmic Art.

A star was crushed, just like when Lu Yin had seen Marquis Green Bamboo before. The explosion enveloped Marquis Wu Yi, and then nothing remained of the Semi-Progenitor.

One of the Aeternals’ glorious Twelve Marquises, a powerful Semi-Progenitor, had been crushed like a bug. The man had died in the exact same manner as Marquis Green Bamboo.

Leng Qing saw it. Wang Si saw it. The unfamiliar Semi-Progenitor woman also saw it. Instantly, Marquis Wu Yi, who had fought against all three of them, was dead without even leaving behind a corpse.

"I ask Senior to reveal themselves." Leng Qing respectfully bowed to the emptiness of space. He had no idea who this powerhouse was, or which era they might have come, but given their terrifying power, such an expert deserved respect. Even during the Daosource Sect era, such a person would have been highly respected.

"I ask Senior to reveal themselves." The unknown Semi-Progenitor also offered a respectful bow.

Even Wang Si bowed. "I also ask Senior to reveal themselves."

Lu Yin sent a cold glare towards Wang Si. He would soon settle accounts with the woman.

However, for the moment, Lu Yin moved on to focus on the Aeternals’ endless horde. He raised a foot and smashed another star. He intended to remove Aeternus’s monsters from the Fifth Mainland. The Neohuman Alliance would be removed, and the Aeternals would be completely excised.

A brilliant light flashed, and countless lives ended.

Leng Qing and the others watched in shock as the endless horde that had immobilized them for the last twenty years simply disappeared. The endless horde that had filled the western regions of the Innerverse completely vanished.

Throughout the entire Fifth Mainland, the Neohuman Alliance that had plagued them for endless years, was simply gone.

Lu Buzheng and others who were in the distant Outerverse had no idea what had just taken place in the Innerverse, but they still stared at Lu Yin in disbelief. They could feel the boundless power of a Progenitor from him.

The stronger the person, the more clearly they could sense the horror of this power. Hen Xin and the others had already met the Progenitor of Bloodlines several times, and they could easily tell that that man was far weaker than the power that radiated from Lu Yin at this moment. This strength far surpassed what most Progenitors were capable of unleashing.

After wiping out the Aeternals’ forces on the main battlefield, Lu Yin wanted to check the passage to the Starfall Sea, as the Progenitor of Bloodlines should be freed up now.

Twenty years ago, Corpse God had attempted to capture the Daosource Sect’s main hall by sacrificing an arm. However, the main hall had vanished into time and space, escaping from the Skygod. However, Corpse God refused to accept the outcome, and his one arm was enough to deal with every last Semi-Progenitor in the entire Fifth Mainland. In fact, he was capable of doing so even while under the suppression of the mental network.

The mental network was a remnant power of Progenitor Hui, but how could Progenitor Hui stop Corpse God?

Corpse God had wanted to eliminate all the living powerhouses in the Fifth Mainland so that the Aeternals already present would have an easier time conquering the place. It was at this moment that the Progenitor of Bloodlines had taken action. He had shattered his own inner world and used the surge of power in combination with the mental network to sever Corpse God’s arm. The Progenitor had then moved to block the small gap that remained in the passage to the Starfall Sea with his own body.

This was the tragic fate of the Progenitor. The Progenitor of Bloodlines was not a powerful Progenitor, but at this moment, he had drawn the attention of the entire Fifth and Sixth Mainlands. If he died and was remembered in history, he would not merely be remembered as the Progenitor of Bloodlines, but rather as a great powerhouse who had fought desperately to save all of humanity.

This was despite the fact that he was from the Sixth Mainland.

The Progenitor of Bloodlines was still plugging the gap with his body, suffering endless abuse from the attacks of the Aeternals on the other side. For twenty years, the man had fought for humanity and ensured that the Aeternals could not send any more experts into the Fifth Mainland. Aeternus had summoned all their available forces to break through, but they had failed to push past the Progenitor of Bloodlines.

Corpse God and the other Seven Skygods were far, far more powerful than the Progenitor of Bloodlines and could easily knock his body aside. However, the moment that happened, the Sky Pilaer would shift and grow to instantly plug the gap.

The Progenitor of Bloodlines was stuck in a position where he could not leave, as the moment he retreated, Corpse God would be able to use his hand to once again pull the gap in the blocked passage open. Then, the Progenitor of Bloodlines’ past twenty years of efforts would all be in vain.

Marquis Wu Yi and the other Aeternal powerhouses had been trying to find a way to remove the Progenitor of Bloodlines from the Fifth Mainland’s side, while Leng Qing and others did their best to stop those efforts. This was why the massive battlefield had appeared.

Cultivators from the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands wanted to rescue the Progenitor of Bloodlines, but they were incapable of doing so. The Aeternals also wanted to remove his body, but they had been stopped. The entire time, the Progenitor of Bloodlines’ body acted as a plug in the passage between the Fifth Mainland and the Starfall Sea. His fate was truly agonizing.
