Chapter 2430: Incomparable
The moment Lu Yin’s palm struck, the humanoid stellular tribulation started to fade. At the same time, Progenitor Wen and the Investiture of the Gods began to dissipate as well.
The ancient characters vanished one at a time. The effects of Progenitor Wen’s Progenitor’s world also disappeared. The Investiture of the Gods was gone, and the humanoid tribulation itself was slowly disappearing.
Lu Yin stared at the figure’s back as it slowly faded from existence. “If you really are my father, I suppose that I’ll suffer divine punishment for this.”
A gust of wind blasted through the area, sending strands of bloodstained hair drifting through the Outer Realm.
Lu Yin turned to smile at Mu Xie. “Senior Brother, how did I do?”
For the first time, Mu Xie showed a grin of his own. “Junior Brother, I can see why Master accepted you. Not only do you possess immense talent, but you are also capable of creating miracles.”
Progenitor Smoke rolled her eyes. “The one who created a miracle is Progenitor Ku. The more I understand his Extremes Must Be Reversed, the more miraculous it seems.”
Elsewhere in the Outer Realm, Bai Wangyuan and the others from the four ruling powers had serious expressions. It had seemed impossible for Lu Yin to pass his tribulation. It was simply unthinkable that a five-tribulation Envoy could face a Progenitor during a tribulation and still pass it.
“It’s that Extremes Must Be Reversed. What’s truly unbelievable is Ku Jie’s battle technique,” Wang Fan said.
Bai Wangyuan and the somberly stared at Lu Yin. Only they understood just how terrifying Ku Jie was. They had thought that they already understood just how incredible his Extremes Must Be Reversed was, but the facts revealed that they had still been underestimating it all along.
It was a battle technique that could potentially target any object or phenomenon. It could reverse time and revert space, heal injuries, and allow a person to withstand powerful attacks. Ku Jie, just what did you create?
Aside from the Progenitors themselves, no one else watching Lu Yin’s tribulation could understand what had just happened. All they knew was that Lu Yin had just passed another trial of his stellular tribulation.
This time, the tribulation should finally be over!?Everyone had the same thought.
Lu Yin stared up at the dark vortex of his stellular tribulation. Things should truly be over. If he hadn’t managed to force Progenitor Wen to create an extreme state, it would have been absolutely impossible for Lu Yin to have passed that trial. Who else could have possibly succeeded in such a situation?
Everyone felt certain that the stellular tribulation was over.
But contrary to all expectations, the stellular tribulation vortex expanded once more.
A vein on Lu Yin’s temple throbbed, and he shook his fist at the sky. “You must really want me to die! You seriously deserve a good beating.”
Mu Xie frowned. "How is this possible? Wasn’t he already forced to face a desperate situation? Why would there be another trial?"
Progenitor Smoke also felt terribly confused. “Another one? What else is going to show up? Don’t tell me that an actual Progenitor is going to be sent to fight him, right?”
Even the two of them had abandoned hope for Lu Yin’s success. They were seeing things that should not be happening.
Silence fell upon Bai Wangyuan’s group as well. All of them were hoping that this stellular tribulation would kill Lu Yin, but even they felt that things were going a bit too far. None of the three trials that he had faced so far had been even remotely easy to handle. Of their families’ top geniuses, who could have even passed Lu Yin’s first trial? Even if someone could miraculously defeat the first trial, despite the terrible odds, what about the summoned copy of Progenitor Wen? It truly seemed practically blasphemous that Lu Yin had even managed to defeat that trial.
Lu Xiaoxuan had already defeated the impossible, and yet, there was more.
Was the true universe not going to let up until the man was dead?
This stellular tribulation deserved to be recorded down in history.
“Come on! Show me what else you’ve got!” Lu Yin shouted into the dark vortex. If an actual Progenitor emerged, he would have nothing more to say.
Looks of anticipation turned to disbelief as a familiar object descended from the depths of the vortex.
Lu Yin’s jaw dropped.
Progenitor Smoke, Mu Xie, everyone with Bai Wangyuan, all of the Progenitors throughout the Outer Realm, and everyone who was watching from the Middle Realm stared at the object in disbelief.
Tremors ran through the entire Perennial World, and countless creatures in the Lower Realm panicked and fled for their lives.
The Higher Realm started to fracture from the pressure of a monstrously massive entity.
With the sole exception of the fourth array base, everyone stationed on the rear battlefield was currently working on eliminating the last few corpse kings from the New World. As the trial of Lu Yin’s stellular tribulation descended upon him, the people in the New World felt the ground beneath them tremble slightly. What was going on? It felt as though Mother Tree itself had moved.
The floor of the Middle Ocean shook, stirring up tsunamis that crashed onto shores.
Countless people looked in the direction of the Yishan District, only to be met with a startling sight.
Another Mother Tree had appeared.
Lu Yin stared, slack-jawed. Isn’t that the Mother Tree?
He had never imagined that the true universe would actually send the Mother Tree itself against him.
There was no mistake. It was the Mother Tree.
Stellular tribulations could consist of pure attacks, natural phenomena, astral beasts, and even manifestations of humans who had once lived. Since the Mother Tree absorbed stellular energy, it meant that it could be sent out as well.
While the logic was indisputable, seeing the copy of the Mother Tree still left Lu Yin speechless.
Bai Wangyuan and everyone else watched on in a daze.
In the Outer Realm, people on each of the seven planets blinked in disbelief as they saw the Mother Tree emerge from the dark vortex.
No one had ever even heard of the Mother Tree appearing during someone’s stellular tribulation. What could the Mother Tree even do?
Lu Yin wondered just what the Mother Tree was going to do to attack him. Simply crush him?
He briefly turned to stare at the true Mother Tree, but it had not reacted at all.
"Young man, what kind of atrocities have you committed to cause the true universe to send you such a tribulation? It seems determined to kill you,” Progenitor Smoke called out.
Mu Xie\'s expression turned grave. Although the appearance of Progenitor Wen had seemed quite excessive for someone’s sixth stellular tribulation, the appearance of a manifestation of the Mother Tree suggested that Lu Yin had committed a truly serious offense. What sort of sin had Lu Yin committed?
Lu Yin was too preoccupied to hear the question. His mind had gone blank, and he nervously swallowed. He stared intently at the copy of the Mother Tree, waiting for it to make some sort of move.
Slowly drifting downwards, the copy of the Mother Tree appeared smaller than the actual one. This was likely due to the limitations of a sixth stellular tribulation, which limited the size of the tree, similar to how the humanoid stellular tribulation was limited in power. Nevertheless, it was still large enough to engulf the Yinshan District, Huaiyuan District, Blue Moon District, and parts of other districts.
Countless onlookers felt despair clench their hearts as they stared at the descending copy of the Mother Tree.
Lu Yin threw out a palm strike to test the tree.
The attack succeeded in destroying a portion of the Mother Tree’s roots, but the damage was practically negligible. Even though it was a copy, the Mother Tree was incredibly large and tough. Even Lu Yin’s full strength would only damage a minuscule portion of it.
Lu Yin could not help look up towards the Dominion Realm. It was no wonder why the Mother Tree was able to support the entire Perennial World and endure battles between Progenitors. It was extremely durable.
As the Mother Tree continued to descend, the pressure on Lu Yin quickly multiplied. He sent attack after attack towards the copy of the Mother Tree, but unfortunately, all of his efforts were insignificant, given the sheer size of the tree.
If the copy of the Mother Tree descended any further, it would start to pressure the Middle Realm. That could not be allowed to happen.
Lu Yin suddenly heard a rumbling from down below. He looked down and saw that the true Mother Tree’s roots were twitching and undulating. The sight caused Lu Yin’s pupils to shrink to pinpricks.
The roots of the true Mother Tree were clearly about to attack the copy that had been summoned by Lu Yin’s stellular tribulation. The attack would occur as soon as the manifested tree descended far enough. If the stellular tribulation regarded the real Mother Tree’s actions as helping Lu Yin, then he could kiss his life goodbye.
What should he do?
Lu Yin slammed his body against the copy of the Mother Tree’s roots. They stretched as far as his eyes could see, and his attack did not seem to affect them in the slightest. An overwhelming force threatened to crush him.
Lu Yin had never imagined that he would have to face the Mother Tree of all things. It was what literally held up human civilization and what ensured the survival of the human race by shielding them from Aeternus. How could any human be expected to defeat such a thing?
The Mother Tree was the most formidable existence in the entire universe. Lu Yin’s strength might have surpassed what other humans could even imagine, but the power of the Mother Tree was something that no one could even begin to comprehend.
How was anyone supposed to face such a thing?
Humanity would not have survived this long if Aeternus was capable of destroying the Mother Tree.
Only True God Yi Wei was capable of dealing any actual damage to the Mother Tree.
A thought started to form within Lu Yin\'s mind. He released his power from his chest and then studied the red dot that had recently appeared. This red dot had come from the attack of a giant scarlet eye that was one of Aeternus’s star gates. It was actually True God Yi Wei’s divine energy.
If True God Yi Wei was the only being in existence who was able to damage the Mother Tree, then the red dot might very well be Lu Yin’s only path to victory.
Lu Yin was not certain, but regardless, the red dot was technically part of the unique power that he cultivated within his chest, which meant that it was not a form of external aide. Using it was certainly worth a try.
Lu Yin’s unique power emerged from his chest and surrounded him. The red dot appeared a short distance away from his body. He had unsuccessfully tried to erase it on several occasions, but at this point in time, he decided to try to use it. He no longer cared about its origin, regardless of whether it was from True God Yi Wei. He had no intention of abandoning his breakthrough and failing his stellular tribulation. Giving up was simply not an option.
Bai Wangyuan and his companions waited for Lu Yin’s imminent demise. As they waited, far below, the roots of the real Mother Tree writhed, prepared to launch their own attack. Time was running out.
Lu Yin closed his eyes and reached out for the red dot. As he held it in his hand, his eyes snapped open. Scarlet red light flickered in the depths of his pupils.
Beyond the bounds of the stellular tribulation, Mu Xie’s nails dug into the palms of his hands. Junior Brother, hurry up and abandon your breakthrough! There’s nothing that you can do against the Mother Tree.
Progenitor Smoke just shook her head. The fact that Lu Yin was facing such a cruel stellular tribulation could only mean that he was cultivating something truly catastrophic. Even as the master of one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, she felt that this stellular tribulation was beyond excessive.
Bai Wangyuan and his companions held their breath as they watched intently. Was Lu Yin finally dead? He should be. There should not be any room for more surprises. No one could defeat the Mother Tree itself, not even them.
Kacha!
A crack appeared on the trunk of the manifested Mother Tree, and it quickly grew both upwards and downwards. The scene closely resembled the moment when True God had attacked the Mother Tree.
Everyone’s expressions changed abruptly. Impossible!
No one could believe what they were seeing. Had the manifestation of the Mother Tree actually been broken?
The copy of the Mother Tree stopped descending as Lu Yin let out a roar. “You aren’t enough to kill me!”
As Lu Yin shouted, the fissure in the trunk of the giant tree grew even larger. After a moment, an explosion rocked the entire Perennial World.
Not one person looked away.
The trial of Lu Yin’s stellular tribulation that was a manifestation of the Mother Tree itself… vanished. Lu Yin dropped his head, panting heavily. Streaks of blood painted his entire body, exacerbating his miserable appearance. Every breath that he took caused him to also vomit a mouthful of crimson blood.
Lu Yin was already at his absolute limit.
A trickle of fear appeared in the jiao’s eyes as it peeked at Lu Yin from far away. It had just sensed a terrifying power from Lu Yin for a brief moment. Creatures were far more sensitive to such things than humans.
Lu Yin stood in the middle of the sky, his head hanging low as he tried to catch his breath.
A wisp of stellular energy extended into Lu Yin’s body. It was finally time for him to be rewarded for successfully passing his stellular tribulation. He remained utterly motionless as stellular energy streamed into his body.
Stellular energy flowed into Lu Yin in a long river that looked like a vertical rainbow.
Lu Yin kept all three of his meridian points open. First, the stellular energy flowed into his lower meridian point. Once that was filled, he redirected the flow to his middle meridian point, and then his upper meridian point. Finally, he allowed the stream to fill his fourth stellular energy vortex.
The reason why Lu Yin had faced such a perverse stellular tribulation finally became apparent to everyone. The amount of stellular energy that he was absorbing was beyond excessive. It was so much so that many people found it hard to believe.
