Chapter 1439: G.o.d Of Death

As soon as the black and white coc.o.o.n shattered, the Void Rip arrived at Lu Yin’s face. He lifted his left arm, and the shield formed by the white mist blocked the Void Rip. Lu Yin"s eyes flashed. This was an absolutely terrifying attack, as even at this moment, he still felt a bit of pressure from it, though it was only a small bit. After all, it was a Progenitor’s battle technique and was something that not even the Yu Secret Art could divert.

Lu Yin snorted and shifted his left arm to throw the Void Rip back.

Bai Shaohong"s pupils instantly shrank; how was this even possible? How could his Void Rip be forcibly blocked by one of his peers?

As they looked at Lu Yin at this moment, Long Tian and the others felt a chill strike their hearts. They felt as though they were facing a G.o.d of death.

Lu Yin clenched his scythe and slashed it at Bai Shaohong. "Let me return it to you."

Bai Shaohong faced the scythe’s attack head on, and an unconscious sense of danger prompted him to use his full strength. Just like what had happened with w.a.n.g Su, a phantom appeared behind Bai Shaohong, though his was of a small pond.

As the phantom image of the small pond appeared, Bai Shaohong raised a hand and pointed a finger: Celestial Being Shows the Way. At the same time, the water in the small pond was rapidly consumed.

Suddenly, an extreme cold appeared. This was the true Celestial Being Shows the Way of the Celestial Frost Sect. The power of this single finger was able to pierce through the void.

Lu Yin"s scythe directly smashed against the Celestial Being Shows the Way.

A terrifying shockwave swept out and shattered s.p.a.ce. Lu Yin had expected his attack to injure Bai Shaohong, but Lu Yin had still underestimated the Junior Progenitor who was the Celestial Frost Sect’s most talented youth. Lu Yin’s slash was actually blocked by his Celestial Being Shows the Way.

However, a great deal of the water in the image of the pond behind Bai Shaohong had been consumed as a result.

"How many times can you block my attack?" Lu Yin asked in a low voice. He raised his scythe once more and slashed it down. This attack not only targeted Bai Shaohong, but also w.a.n.g Su. Lu Yin actually wanted to face off against two Junior Progenitors at the same time.

Bai Shaohong could not believe that a mere trespa.s.ser from the Forsaken Land actually possessed greater strength than even him. "I’ll block him—you attack!"

w.a.n.g Su did not hesitate, and her body shot into the true universe. The effects of the upgraded gemspring water had already faded, so Lu Yin was no longer able to see into the true universe, but did he even need to?

Black ropes formed from the void itself appeared all around Lu Yin. This was the w.a.n.g Secret Art: Forbidden.

Lu Yin raised his left hand, grabbed the nebulous black chain wrapped around his body, and swung it in a circle around himself.

The Forbidden secret technique shattered, and w.a.n.g Su emerged from the true universe. The phantom hand behind her solidified, and she attacked Lu Yin with a hand, which meant that two palms were falling upon Lu Yin at the same time.

However, the palm attack froze the moment it entered the black mist swirling around Lu Yin.

w.a.n.g Su was startled; how was this even possible?

Lu Yin turned around and attacked with his scythe again. w.a.n.g Su waved her left hand to use Four Arts: Celestial Blade. But there was a bang, and the Celestial Blade shattered while the scythe continued on its path without slowing. w.a.n.g Su’s body rippled. Secret Art: Supremacy.

The power of this secret technique was unbearable, and it even left Bai Shaohong fearful.

Lu Yin avoided the suppression of the secret art by reciting the Stonewall Scriptures. The secret technique had actually caught him off guard, so he was momentarily affected by it. While it only affected him for less than a moment, it was still enough time for w.a.n.g Su to quickly retreat.

Lu Yin looked up at her and attacked once more with his scythe. Blood splashed down. w.a.n.g Su had been cut.

Bai Shaohong appeared from behind him. "Void Rip."

This was another method of using Void Rip, and it was even more powerful than the attacks Bai Shaohong had used before. He was using the visualization method at this moment, which had boosted his strength even further. Even Lu Yin had to be careful of this attack.

It sliced through the void in an entire area.

Shang Qing, Yao Xuan, and the others all warily watched Lu Yin in his G.o.d of Death Transformation. They remembered that this state altered Lu Yin’s behavior, and he tended to be more ruthless than normal. Thus, they were afraid of being dragged into his fights.

When Lu Yin retaliated with his scythe, Shang Qing and the others instantly and unhesitatingly retreated. Their actions proved to be the right one, as it was clear that they would have been swept up in his attack.

Faced with a slash from the black scythe and a Void Rip that sliced through the void, Long Tian"s expression dramatically changed, and the phantom of a giant python appeared behind him. This was also the power of visualization. At the same time, Xia Shenfei manifested the phantom of a long knife behind his back. All four of the Junior Progenitors had unleashed their full strength.

However, all four of the Junior Progenitors were forced to defend against Lu Yin’s scythe, and all of their followers either ducked low or were protected by a Junior Progenitor. Dong He was the only one without anyone to protect him, and he did not have a chance to duck either. The scythe swept by, and his head toppled off, dead.

Bai Shaohong"s eyes went wide. Dong He was the most talented junior in the entire Celestial Frost Sect after Bai Shaohong himself, but he had just died. "Long Qi, you’ll pay for that with your life!"

Lu Yin did not see what Bai Shaohong did after that, but Lu Yin suddenly saw Nightking Zhenwu. He looked perfectly real, and he was laughing wildly. "Lu Yin, you can"t defeat me! You can never defeat me! Look at yourself! Look at your people! I will destroy every single one of them one at a time! This is the fate of those who cross me and my Daynight clan."

Suddenly, Ming Yan appeared. Her eyes were filled with tears. "Big Brother Lu, Father’s dead! I don"t want to get you involved, so just let me go."

As she spoke, she swallowed the Vitality Poison that she was holding in her hands.

The blood drained from Lu Yin"s face. "Don"t—"

He stepped forward to try to stop Ming Yan from swallowing the Vitality Poison, but even though she was only a few steps away, she might as well have been on the other side of the world. He would never be able to reach her in time, and he could only watch as she drank the Vitality Poison and died.

His chest was wracked with severe pain, and he heard someone else roaring. His mind raced, and Ming Yan disappeared from before his eyes. He was once again able to see his surroundings clearly. Unseen Light was shouting at Lu Yin, and in front of him stood the summoned Progenitor Chen and Progenitor Hui. They were blocking Xia Shenfei and Long Tian. When Lu Yin looked down, he saw that blood was dripping down his chest. Had he been injured?

Yao Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. His Force Explosion had successfully roused Lu Yin. Then, Yao Xuan stared at Bai Shaohong in horror. The Celestial Demon prince did not know what the man had done, but Lu Yin had fallen into an illusion. No, there had not been any spiritual force ripples, so it could not have been an illusion. Regardless, Lu Yin had been directly struck by a Void Rip without erecting any sort of defense, and he had acted as though he had lost his mind.

Bai Shaohong once again pointed a finger at the void as he stared at Lu Yin. "You can"t escape!"

The blood stopped falling from Lu Yin"s chest. He did not know what Bai Shaohong had done, but since there had not been any spiritual force involved, it had to be an innate gift or a secret technique. The Celestial Frost Sect had as many inheritances as the countless stars in the sky. Lu Yin gained a new wariness of Bai Shaohong.

Void Rip appeared in front of Bai Shaohong, and the black line moved towards Lu Yin. At this moment, the Junior Progenitor locked his eyes onto Lu Yin once more. Since he had succeeded once, then he could do so a second time. This technique was unavoidable, and it forced them to either see the person they hated the most or the person they loved the most. Regardless, the person would be dragged into a dream.

Lu Yin let out a breath and started reciting the Stonewall Scriptures within his mind. Any time he encountered strange attacks like this, the Stonewall Scriptures were able to protect him from most of them.

Another scene entered Lu Yin’s eyes. This time, it was a finger falling towards him, and a boundless rage overcame him. He nearly shouted, “Presumptuous!”

He heard Unseen Light and the others shouting at him from nearby. Yao Xuan did not know who would be injured if he attacked again, which was the only reason why he refrained from using Force Explosion a second time.

Just as the Void Rip drew close, Lu Yin’s eyes suddenly shot open, and his scythe slashed out once more. The Void Rip was split in twain, and as Bai Shaohong watched on in utter shock, the scythe swung down once again. Bai Shaohong was not able to dodge this time, and a terrible wound appeared on his body, starting at his neck and continuing all the way down to his legs. Blood poured out.

"Junior Progenitor—" Dong Shan roared in rage and rushed towards Bai Shaohong, but Lu Yin did not stop, and he continued to unleash attacks that contained unparalleled power.

However, the last attack was blocked by a long spear. It was Long Tian. A phantom of the Ancestor Python had appeared behind him, and the white scales from the White Dragon’s Transformation had appeared all over his body in a dense pattern. He stared at Lu Yin with eyes that burned with heat while also being icy cold. "Now that I’ve had a moment to think, that’s the appearance of the G.o.d of Death. Now, Long Qi, return to the clan with me, and I will ensure that you will be allowed to become a core member of the clan."

"Idiot," Lu Yin replied. The scythe pressed down harder, and the spear cracked. At the same time, Lu Yin grabbed the nebulous black chain with his left hand and swung it at Long Tian.

The Junior Progenitor lifted a hand and grabbed the chain, which was something that Lu Yin certainly had not expected. Long Tian managed to not only grab a hold of the chain, but he also wrested control of it away from Lu Yin for a moment. This was the first time that such a thing had ever happened, and Lu Yin looked at Long Tian in astonishment.

Long Tian"s eyes grew cold. "You look down on us too much."

At this moment, Long Xi"s voice entered Lu Yin"s ear, "My big brother"s innate gift is not control of s.p.a.ce, but rather that of seizing. He can grab anything, even s.p.a.ce."

Lu Yin was stunned; such a strange innate gift existed?

The nebulous chain had been grabbed by Long Tian, so Lu Yin swung out his scythe once more. At that moment, Xia Shenfei appeared behind Lu Yin. "Reverse."

Lu Yin’s posture instantly reverted to before he had attacked. He felt frustrated that he had been hit by the same trick once again.

Xia Shenfei waved a hand, and star energy wrapped around Lu Yin. It was clear that this was not an attack, but Long Tian was so scared of the technique that he instantly retreated.

Lu Yin instinctively felt that something was wrong, and then he heard Long Xi"s voice yet again. "Xia Shenfei"s innate gift is the ability to replay the past. He can bring back any pain that you’ve already experienced, both physical and mental."

Lu Yin"s scalp went numb at this explanation. Each of these people had a more bizarre innate gift than the next! This was the power of the Junior Progenitors, and it was no wonder why it was impossible for any of their peers to catch up to them. These four were all freaks.

Xia Shenfei had surrounded Lu Yin with star energy, and he was about to use his innate gift. There was no way for Lu Yin to evade, so instead, he pulled someone in to help him handle the situation.

Blood splattered in front of him, and a huge gash appeared on Lu Yin"s chest. This was the exact same wound that he had suffered after being trapped in the As If Closed sourcebox array during ZENITH. The summoned Progenitor Chen had cut Lu Yin with a knife, and after that, Shang Qing had a.s.sumed that the match was over. However, that was the moment that Lu Yin had activated his G.o.d of Death Transformation.

However, the reappearance of this wound during the present battle was due to Xia Shenfei.

A wound also appeared on Shang Qing from his past. It was the wound that he had suffered from Liu Tianmu"s Thirteenth Sword. Shang Qing very rarely suffered any injuries, and the Thirteenth Sword had been the most impressive technique so far.

"Discipline!" Lu Yin snorted quietly.

Shang Qing was taken aback, as he did not know how he had just been injured. He a.s.sumed that Liu Tianmu must have suddenly attacked him. Still, after hearing Lu Yin’s order, Shang Qing reflexively used the secret technique: Discipline.

Discipline was the most hated of the Hall of Honor’s techniques, as it was able to perfectly return a wound back to the attacker.

Xia Shenfei was utterly confused; why had Lu Yin suddenly pulled Shang Qing over? What was the point of having two people be injured? Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he could not stop himself from coughing up blood. Had he been injured? When had that happened?

The injury felt very familiar. Was it that woman’s Thirteenth Sword?

Xia Shenfei turned to stare at Liu Tianmu, only to see that she was currently occupied with Liu Tianmu with no chance of getting involved in any other battles. But then, how had he been injured?

"Don"t leave me to fight all four at once! You can keep one of them busy," Lu Yin scolded Shang Qing. Suddenly, an astral chessboard appeared beneath Lu Yin’s feet.
