Chapter 2827: A Speck Of Dust
As for Chu Jian, everyone had forgotten about him long ago. He stood in the distance, watching Lu Yin face his stellular tribulation. Lu Yin’s position should have belonged to Chu Jian, so why was that not the case?
Chu Jian’s conversation with Chu Yuan kept echoing in his mind. Chu Yuan had been absolutely right; Lu Yin was a true monster.
Bai Xian\'er\'s eyes flickered as she stared at Lu Yin. Brother Xiaoxuan, you are becoming more and more unpredictable.
...
Beneath the black hole of the stellular tribulation, Lu Yin unsealed the stellular energy vortex in his middle meridian point. While everyone had already been mentally prepared for this due to the fact that the tribulation had not yet disappeared, seeing a third stellular energy vortex still left many people breathless.
Three stellular energy vortices. Lu Yin really did have three stellular energy vortices, which meant that he would form three inner worlds. That was a terrifying thought.
After all, these three were still only inner worlds. Once Lu Yin became a Progenitor, his inner worlds would become Progenitor’s worlds. At that time, who would be able to face him?
The Lu family had already been famous for the cheat-like powers of their Champions’ Stage and Investiture of the Gods, but Lu Yin would actually be able to form three separate Progenitor’s worlds. This was beyond simply cheating. If he rose up to and became a sequence powerhouse, he would be able to face all Seven Skygods on his own.
Lu Yin\'s strength exceeded anyone’s understanding.
Even Ancient God was amazed. For him to order the Seven Skygods to use all their power to kill Lu Yin, it was easy to see just how shocked the Aeternals were by what Lu Yin had revealed.
Even if the Sixverse Association did not understand the Origin Universe’s path of cultivation, people were still shocked by what they had seen.
Throughout all of known history, no one else had ever done what Lu Yin was doing.
Lu Yin took a deep breath. For his third inner world, he planned to use Flipping the Sky as the foundation.
This was something that Kui Luo had suggested.
Before Lu Yin had left for the tea ceremony, Kui Luo had specifically sought Lu Yin out to remind him of Flipping the Sky.
When Lu Xiaoxuan had first created Flipping the Sky, it had drawn out every Progenitor in the Perennial World, including the Lu family’s founding ancestor.
When Lu Yin had first heard about that matter, he had not been particularly shocked, but as time passed, he had gained a much better understanding of just how shocking it was to draw out the Lu family’s oldest ancestor.
Ancestor Lu Yuan was one of the Three Realms Six Dao, and he had always been sleeping.
It was unimaginable for the creation of a battle technique to bring out Ancestor Lu Yuan.
Lu Yin could not understand how, before Lu Xiaoxuan had even become an Envoy, he had created a battle technique that had awakened Ancestor Lu Yuan. Even if Lu Yin had managed to learn Flipping the Sky and understand the technique’s power, given that it was a battle technique that was based on manifesting an imagined concept of a cultivator, such a technique should not have been created by Lu Xiaoxuan.
Despite Kui Luo\'s repeated assurances, Lu Yin still felt that it was impossible for Lu Xiaoxuan to create Flipping the Sky.
Even so, Lu Yin was not worried about that detail. Flipping the Sky was a powerful battle technique, an incredibly powerful one. He had sensed that more than ever when he had fought against Undying God\'s avatar. There were times when Flipping the Sky could completely invert a crisis, much like the Origin Sutra.
Given how powerful Flipping the Sky was, Lu Yin had decided to use it as the foundation of his third inner world.
This decision had been made not only because of Flipping the Sky’s power, but also because Lu Yin wanted to do something to acknowledge his past as Lu Xiaoxuan.
The fourth layer of the seal that had been placed on him had nothing to do with his missing memories, as it was actually a test. Even if the Lu family was banished, as long as Lu Yin managed to break the fourth layer of the seal, he would be able to awaken Ancestor Lu Yuan. This also meant that Lu Yin’s initial goal of restoring Lu Xiaoxuan’s memories by breaking the seal that had been placed on him had already failed.
He was Lu Yin. Lu Xiaoxuan no longer existed.
Lu Xiaoxuan had lived Lu Xiaoxuan\'s life, but the moment the Lu family was exiled, Lu Xiaoxuan had died, and Lu Yin had been born.
For this reason, Lu Yin wanted to acknowledge Lu Xiaoxuan.
Lu Yin’s hand rose as he stared up at his stellular tribulation.
Flipping the Sky formed a landmass in the sky, flipping the sky and the ground. The sky acted as a hand, and the hand then flipped over, causing the earth and sky to trade places with the earth rising up above the sky. This was Flipping the Sky.
When Lu Yin used Flipping the Sky, while others were unable to see anything, the technique allowed Lu Yin to peer across the parallel universes and into the Origin Universe to see the Perennial World and the Fifth Mainland.
What was happening?
Lu Yin\'s eyes widened, as he was rather shocked.
Why did Flipping the Sky allow him to see the Origin Universe?
This third stellular tribulation had the most normal appearance so far. No shocking scene appeared from the stellular tribulation’s black hole; instead, a single speck of dust slowly fell towards Lu Yin, accompanied by a white light.
Lu Yin stared at a speck of dust. What was this?
Far away, True God Wei Yi and the Great Sovereign both exclaimed, "Primaldust?"
Ancient God took a step forward. For the first time, his expression drastically changed. He was staring intently at the speck of dust. Had that thing actually appeared?
Aside from Ancient God, none of the other Skygods recognized what had appeared. There were only three people on the entire battlefield who understood what had appeared.
This seemingly insignificant speck of dust shocked all three of those people.
Lu Yin also did not know what it was, but since he had already triggered the tribulation, there was no way that things would be as simple as they appeared, so he used Heaven’s Sight.
The moment he did, it was difficult to describe what Lu Yin felt. Heaven’s Sight revealed sequence particles.
What the fuck! Lu Yin almost coughed up a mouthful of blood. Sequence particles! This tribulation is actually a tribulation of sequence particles! Damn it! Flipping the Sky triggered a tribulation of sequence particles? How the hell am I supposed to deal with this?
Old Mo, Sovereign Shao Yin, and Corpse God were all peak powerhouses who controlled sequence particles, and every last one of them was capable of easily defeating Lu Yin. If he could receive a bit of help and avoid the sequence particles, then he would have some level of confidence, but who was supposed to help him during a stellular tribulation?
What the hell? How can this speck of dust actually influence sequence particles?
Lu Yin felt chills run all over his body as he watched the dust fall towards him. Its movements were very gentle, but the pressure that he felt was indescribable.
He had no idea what the consequences of him touching this dust might be, and neither did he want to find out.
This was also not the time to worry about such things, as he just needed to do whatever it took to block the dust.
He struck at the speck of dust with a palm strike to test things out.
Lu Yin used all of his strength, but it did not move in the slightest.
His face twitched. Next, the Investiture of the Gods appeared above his head. This was the Lu family’s inherited innate gift, so the tribulation would not treat it as outside help. During Lu Yin’s sixth stellular tribulation, an image of his father had appeared and used the Investiture of the Gods to summon Progenitor Wen, which had nearly defeated Lu Yin.
The golden light of the Investiture of the Gods illuminated everyone\'s face, and figures emerged from the scroll and made their way towards the speck of dust.
While the speck was so small that even the light of the Investiture of the Gods seemed to be able to drown it out, to Lu Yin, the speck of dust felt like a terrifying enemy.
Progenitor Nong raised his hoe, and countless superimposed images appeared, mimicking his actions. A full-powered Plowing the Land struck the dust, but it failed to cause the speck of dust to so much as quiver.
The dust was clearly drifting on a breeze, but nothing could shake it.
Leng Qing raised his saber and slashed at the dust.
The blade fell, but once again, the dust could not be moved.
When Arch-Elder Zen stepped forward, a small path spread towards the speck of dust and attempted to move the dust away, but the path was shattered the moment it touched it, and even the summoned Arch-Elder Zen shattered.
This was the first time that the speck of dust had revealed any sort of attack power, and what it revealed left Lu Yin\'s scalp numb.
The conferred Xia Shenji used his Shenwu World, strengthened with his Divine Martial Armor. The void roiled, and the phenomena rose upwards as the summoned Progenitor attacked at full power.
None of the blades that fell onto the speck of dust had any effect whatsoever. Each blade either skimmed past the dust or were crushed when they ran into the speck of dust.
It was clear that these attacks were from powerful Progenitors, but all of them were as powerless as a child’s attack.
It was as though the summoned Progenitors were not facing mere dust, but rather an invincible giant.
Ancient God let out a breath. "There\'s no need for me to do anything. That is Primaldust."
Mu Shen frowned. "Primaldust? I feel I’ve heard that name before..."
The man’s head suddenly snapped up, horror etched across his face. "Primaldust? The Origin Progenitor’s weapon?"
A solemn light filled Ancient God\'s eyes. "The Origin Progenitor’s weapon was indeed dust. A single speck of dust capable of destroying an entire universe. Even if this speck of dust is merely something manifested by his stellular tribulation and is incomparable to the Origin Progenitor’s true weapon, this is still not something that the child of the Lu family can stand up to.
"Primaldust possesses a power of suppression and growth. He is not able to withstand the power of suppression, let alone when it grows or gains life.
"This stellular tribulation is over!"
Lu Yin watched helplessly as the dust continued to fall toward him. Progenitor Nong, Leng Qing, and Xia Shenji all charged forward. Regardless of whether they could stop the dust, as long as they could shift it even slightly, Lu Yin would have a glimmer of hope.
However, all three figures instantly shattered without even influencing the speed at which the speck of dust moved.
Lu Yin quickly backed away, only to find that the speck of dust was still above his head. Even with his attempts to evade it, the distance never grew, only shrinking.
He lashed out with a palm strike. He used time to constrain the attacks and released fifty at once.
Even still, the speck of dust was not shaken at all.
Lu Yin grew so anxious he nearly pulled out his slipper and slapped at the dust, but he managed to hold himself back.
Calm down! You need to stay calm. There has to be a way to survive, as every tribulation has one. This isn’t an execution, but rather a trial.
He took a deep breath and then forced himself to close his eyes and calm down. Regardless of how close the dust speck might be, he needed to remain calm.
This dust speck was just too strange. Did he need to use one of his recently formed inner worlds? He felt that, regardless of how much brute force he used, it would remain useless. This speck of dust was not something that could be countered by raw strength.
Just what had he triggered with Flipping the Sky?
If strength would not work, should he bring out Bi Rong’s corpse? Would a corpse be regarded as a foreign object? Lu Yin had only survived his fist stellular tribulation by blocking the final bolt of lightning with Bi Rong’s corpse, but that final attack could not be regarded as a trial, but rather judgment. If not for Bi Rong’s corpse, Lu Yin would have never survived that bolt of lightning. However, that judgment had not been concerned about foreign objects or outside assistance, which was why Lu Yin had been able to use the corpse.
However, this speck of dust was a genuine stellular tribulation.
Flipping the Sky, Flipping the Sky... manifesting an imagined concept-
Lu Yin’s head snapped back up, as he suddenly understood. Just like Flipping the Sky, this speck of dust was connected to a concept, which was why it could not be dealt with by physical force.
Flipping the Sky had also awakened Ancestor Lu Yuan because it was a conceptual battle technique, which was something that Even Ancestor Lu Yuan had taken note of. It made sense for this speck of dust to possess similar depths.
Since the manifestation of a concept had triggered this tribulation, than that should also be the solution to this tribulation.
And since Flipping the Sky had triggered the tribulation, Lu Yin would simply use Flipping the Sky to resist this tribulation.
His hand rose, and the ground appeared in the sky, overturning the sky with the flip of a hand. The profound concept contained within the battle technique allowed Lu Yin to see the Origin Universe once again, and he saw the Mother Tree and the Fifth Mainland. There were countless people in his vision, and they felt quite familiar, though he could not recognize them.
The speck of dust trembled briefly, but then continued to slowly fall towards Lu Yin.
However, the efficacy of Flipping the Sky finally gave Lu Yin a spark of hope. If once was not enough, then he would do so again. Besides, the vision of the Fifth Mainland had grown a bit clearer, so did that mean that his mastery of Flipping the Sky had improved? Had the attack been improved?
Imagined concept. Just what exactly was a concept?
This was something that Lu Yin might not understand, but it was not necessary at the moment. All he needed was to understand Flipping the Sky.
Flipping the Sky.
Flipping the Sky.
Flipping the Sky.
...
Each time Lu Yin used the technique and made a flip, he was able to see the Fifth Mainland slightly more clearly, and he could also see those familiar strangers more clearly.
