Chapter 2098: The God Of Death’s Reappearance

Lu Yin had managed to grasp a tiny clue under the Root of Intelligence tea’s inspiration. Previously, because of his eagerness to participate in the Dao Chosen selection, he had not really dwelt on the matter. However, at the moment, he absolutely had to understand the glimpse of inspiration he had seen.

He intended to use the chaotic energies in his chest to form a circulation path that mirrored the universe itself.

The Origin Progenitor’s sword had pierced through the black and white mist and acted as a catalyst. Without that sword, Lu Yin could not even imagine how long it would have taken him to realize this possibility.

One month.

Two months.

Three months passed before Lu Yin finally managed to stir the energies within his chest. He used the stellular energy from the vortex in his heart to force the chaotic energies to move, and he then started to realize a form of power that would be uniquely his own.

Every type of unique power had its own foundation, which was how the creator first started cultivating.

Death energy, fatesand, as well as the much later appearance of runes and simulated stars—every power had its own foundation, which was that all of the creators had first cultivated stellular energy.

Stellular energy was the starting point of all unique energies. Without first cultivating stellular energy, how could anyone create a unique power from nothing?

Even legendary ancient powerhouses like the God of Death had followed this principle.

Lu Yin was attempting to form a new type of energy by mixing and combining all of his different, divergent powers into a united whole. This would form Lu Yin’s unique cultivation system.

When Lu Yin had first considered the possibility of creating his own, unique cultivation method, he had realized that there existed truly countless possibilities for what the final form would be, but after seeing the stars that Progenitor Chen had left behind, Lu Yin had understood which method would be the most suitable for him. What could be more ideal than to imitate the universe itself?

…

Outside the section of the plaza hidden behind death energy, Sky Garan stabbed at Big Sis’s head. From the audience stands, Starsibyl exclaimed, “Gatemaster!”

The white cloud did not move at all.

Wen Sansi suddenly appeared in front of Big Sis with a barrier formed to protect her. There was no way that Wen Sansi could simply sit by and watch Big Sis die, as Lu Yin would lose his mind when he reappeared.

However, only when one directly faced the power of the Garan family for themselves could they understand just how powerful it was.

It was not without reason that the Garan family had been able to rule and suppress the entire Sixth Mainland for generations. How freakish was the Lu family for them to have managed to dominate the Fifth Mainland for so many years? The Garan family had been to the Sixth Mainland what the Lu family had been to the Fifth Mainland.

A single attack from Sky Garan shattered Wen Sansi’s barrier, but the spear of blood stabbed into the floor. Big Sis had already been dragged away by Lu Lai.

However, Sky Garan did not give up. Big Sis had first struck his head with a pair of hammers, and then she had slapped him repeatedly. The Sixth Mainland’s Dao Chosen had never once suffered such humiliation before, and there was no way he would stop trying to kill Big Sis.

“Sky Garan, she’s already lost!” Lu Lai shouted while visualizing the Immovable Heavenly King Elephant and lashing out with a leg. Elsewhere, Lu Jiao lifted a hand and shot a Hidden Needle at Sky Garan.

Sky Garan’s eyes were cold, and his blood spear swept out, directly clashing against Lu Lai’s empowered kick and Lu Jiao’s Hidden Needle. The spear then spun around to shoot at Big Sis yet again.

Hui Santong, Yuhua Mavis, God Taiyi, Yōu Ye’er, and other people from the Lu Heavenly Gate and the Honor Heavenly Gate all moved out against Sky Garan’s assault.

However, the man did not care at all about their efforts. “Nothing but trash. All of you can die.”

The blood spear swept out at the same time that a palm strike shot out. “Reincarnation Start.”

The spear fell, and everyone within its range coughed up blood.

This was the strength of an ancient Dao Chosen. It was not on the same level as others.

Even if the overbearing quality of the Garan family’s unique power was ignored, Sky Garan’s cultivation far surpassed any of his current opponents. A three-tribulation Envoy was not someone they could face.

A turbulent surge of death energy shot up from below, forming a scythe as it shot forward and slashed at Sky Garan. Silver had joined the fray, still with his standard fox-like smile. “She’s important to Captain, so I can’t let her die.”

Sky Garan stared at Silver. Death energy was a unique power just like the Garan family’s unique power, and death energy was similarly overpowering and mysterious. Still, Sky Garan instantly attacked Silver. “You must want to die.”

Silver’s eyes opened wide, and they suddenly radiated a cold that cut to the bone. When his eyes locked onto Sky Garan, he suddenly froze in place, and his whole body inexplicably trembled. He was no longer looking at Silver, but rather at the God of Death who had once freely roamed the universe and wielded power that demanded respect from all of humanity.

The butterfly knife in Silver’s hand fluttered, and he leaped up towards Sky Garan.

Up in the stands, Hen Xin shook his head. The gap between a true Dao Chosen and anyone else from the same generation was too great to cross. This was not only due to their combat strength and cultivation level, but also because of the innate nature of the powers that they cultivated.

The people of the ancient era looked down on the modern era not only because of the lack of true powerhouses, but also because the people of the modern era lacked the creativity that permeated the thoughts of the people from the Heavens Sect era.

It was impossible to determine if a person’s creativity or combat strength were more important, but both had been rampant during the Heavens Sect era.

Hen Xin felt no surprise at all as he watched Sky Garan single-handedly overwhelm an entire crowd of people who had been heralded as the most talented youths of the modern era. Lu Buzheng was similarly unmoved, and in truth, no one felt any surprise, including even Arch-Elder Zen. Over the course of the last twenty years, everyone had come to accept the gap between the two eras.

The sole hope for the modern era was Lu Yin. As for Silver and Big Sis, no one had ever really expected either of them to win. The only exception was Lu Yin. He was the person who had driven Chu Yuan to suggest that the three former Dao Chosen work together against a single opponent. This was an unimaginable outcome, as it showed that Lu Yin possessed a level of strength that not one of the youths from the ancient era felt confident of overcoming on their own, and they had openly acknowledged this.

At this time, Chu Yuan also started to make a move, and he attacked the area hidden by death energy. He used his innate gift as he lashed out at the death energy. Not being able to see or understand what Lu Yin was doing inside the death energy left Chu Yuan increasingly uneasy.

Ever since they had traveled through time and space together, Chu Yuan had been pressured by Lu Yin. To begin with, just Lu Yin’s stellular energy reserves and physical strength were enough to make Lu Yin a troublesome opponent.

“Heluo, not yet!” Chu Yuan shouted.

Heluo Mavis frowned. Grass had grown under her feet, and it had spread toward the death energy. She was not looking to attack Lu Yin, but rather to simply dispel the death energy and see what was happening.

The green grass thrashed about, and the death energy was swept away.

Everyone looked over, as they were all quite curious as to just what Lu Yin had been doing while hidden from everyone’s sight. It had not been very long since Sky Garan had been tossed out of the death energy, but Lu Yin had not made a move even when Big Sis had almost been killed several different times.

However, when the death energy disappeared, everyone blinked. Why was there no one there?

Heluo Mavis and Chu Yuan both stepped forward. Where was Lu Yin?

They abruptly snapped their heads around. Sky Garan had just been attacking Silver, and he was standing in the sky, but there was another person suddenly standing behind Sky Garan: Lu Yin.

The entire plaza fell silent.

The scythe of death energy was still rising up in front of Sky Garan, and he had not even noticed that Lu Yin had appeared at some point in time.

“You’re the one who left those wounds on Big Sis’s head and stomach. I’m going to leave you in the exact same state that you left her.” Lu Yin’s voice was casual as he spoke. He stood only a meter behind Sky Garan and was calmly looking at the man’s back.The sourc𝗲 of this content no/v(𝒆l)bi((n))

Sky Garan’s pupils instantly constricted. Behind him?

He spun his blood spear around and tried to swipe at Lu Yin. The pale blue halo around the spear grew stronger than ever as more of the Garan family’s overbearing power surged to even greater heights than before. Sky Garan felt that Lu Yin was somehow much stronger than before.

Lu Yin’s hand stretched out and grabbed the spear shaft, instantly dimming the pale blue light around it.

Sky Garan’s expression changed completely. This was impossible! How was his Garan family’s power actually being suppressed?

Lu Yin’s hand trembled, and Overlaying Stacks ran through the shaft of the spear and caused Sky Garan’s arm to shake. The spear shattered and turned back to blood that splattered onto the ground below.

Lu Yin’s right hand lashed out and met Sky Garan’s palm.

There was a bang, and the void shattered. Sky Garan was sent flying back, and he landed on the floor of the plaza with such force that his legs were driven into the ground.

Lu Yin descended onto the plaza as well. He opened a hand and condensed a spear within his grip. This weapon was not formed with stellular energy, nor with death energy, but rather with the new energy that he had formed within his body.

Lu Yin could sense the power of the new energy that had formed within his body. He had not actually used Hollow Palm to attack Sky Garan just now, but had instead used his new energy. Only a tiny sliver of the power had been used, but it had innately suppressed the power of the Garan family and instantly beaten Sky Garan back.

Lu Yin thrust his spear forward. He clearly wanted to do exactly what he had said: return the injuries that Big Sis had suffered to Sky Garan.

There was a sudden flash of white light to Lu Yin’s right. Chu Yuan had attacked, and his blade was falling.

Despite forming a new power of his own, Lu Yin still had no way to deal with Chu Yuan’s ability to erase a period of time, and the blade once again chopped into Lu Yin’s body, causing him to bleed.

“I’d assumed that you’d use Extremes Must Be Reversed.” Chu Yuan was surprised to see Lu Yin’s normal appearance.

However, Lu Yin’s expression just tightened a bit. “I use that when I need to handle a beating, but there’s no need for that right now.”

As he spoke, rays of black and white light shone out from his body and then quickly transformed into dotted lines of light that surrounded him.

Silver went bug-eyed at this sight. He had assumed that Lu Yin would undergo the God of Death Transformation while hidden within the death energy, but Lu Yin clearly had not done so. Shockingly, Lu Yin was completing the transformation right at this moment.

However, why did this God of Death Transformation feel different from what Silver had seen before?

As Silver was thinking about this, the space around Lu Yin quivered, and Chu Yuan reflexively pulled back.

As everyone watched, Lu Yin almost instantly completed his God of Death Transformation. He no longer needed to use a cocoon to complete the process.

His eyes became pure black, and his hair grew out to hang down to his waist. His upper body became bare as a nebula of black energy swirled around him and bits of it took on the form of chains that wrapped around him. His body was covered with mysterious dark-red lines that were branded onto his flesh. White mist gathered at Lu Yin’s left arm and condensed to form a shield, while a massive black scythe appeared in his right hand. Behind him, more of the black energy billowed out to form a cloud.

The remainder of the black energy scattered like a cloak that had been shrugged off, and Lu Yin slowly lifted his head. The massive scythe in his right hand rose up, and the chains of death energy moved to rotate around Lu Yin’s body to form a barrier around him. He looked at Chu Yuan and Heluo Mavis from between the shifting chains. He then glanced out into the audience’s stands and saw the shocked expression on Jue Yi’s face.

At this moment, no one was more stunned than the Semi-Progenitor. He had already known that Lu Yin cultivated the God of Death’s power, but Jue Yi had always believed that Lu Yin’s cultivation method was the same as the Specter clan’s and that the youth was nothing more than a user of death energy.

However, the only thing that Jue Yi could think of as he stared at Lu Yin was the God of Death himself. Lu Yin was not merely a user of death energy, but rather a creator of death energy. This transformation was the ability of the God of Death.

“Impossible! How could you cultivate in the same manner as the God of Death?” Jue Yi muttered in shock. He was staring at something unbelievable.

Jue Yi was not alone, as Hen Xin, Lu Buzheng, and everyone from the Heavens Sect Era was similarly stunned. Just like Jue Yi, everyone had assumed that Lu Yin was only able to use death energy, but what were they staring at at this moment? This was clearly the God of Death Transformation, but how could Lu Yin have obtained something that was only available to those who cultivated in the exact same manner as the God of Death himself?

Lu Buzheng grew pale. This was the true power of the God of Death! A direct descendant of the Lu family’s main line had actually cultivated the God of Death’s method! What the hell?

Silver stood in the plaza with an ever-growing grin on his face. He had already understood Jue Yi’s assumptions concerning Lu Yin, and while Silver could have corrected the man, he had not done so. All of that patience had been in anticipation of this exact moment, and it was absolutely delightful.

Lu Yin stared at Jue Yi. “I told you that I cultivated the power of the God of Death. But what can you cultivate? This is why I’m different from you.”

Jue Yi clenched his fists. This was impossible! He was the God of Death’s disciple, and yet even Jue Yi could only cultivate in the same manner as the God of Death after becoming a Progenitor. How could this mere child do so as a mere Envoy? It was impossible. Utterly impossible!
