<h4>Chapter 2426: Sky-like Field Of Destruction</h4>
Every cultivator had some specific breakthroughs that were of far greater importance during their cultivation. The first would take ce when an ordinary human became a Seeker. The second was when one became a Melder. The third urred upon bing an Explorer. The fourth happened when a person became an Enlighter. The fifth happened when one became an Envoy. The sixth took ce when a person faced their sixth stellr tribtion.
Passing one’s sixth stellr tribtion meant that the person would experience a qualitative change in their strength. For this reason, the breakthrough triggered a far stronger rejection from the true universe, which resulted in the most terrifying stellr tribtion an Envoy would experience up to that point in time.
The stronger a cultivator was, the more desperate the true universe would be to prevent them frompleting their breakthrough.
For someone like Lu Yin, Bai Wangyuan and the rest of the people observing his tribtion believed that it might be even more powerful than what most people faced when breaking through to be a Semi-Progenitor.
The true universe would never allow someone like him to have an easy breakthrough.
Lu Yin looked up at the ever-expanding ck vortex that had appeared above his head. It was finally about to begin. Wait a moment, will the Mother Tree be alright?
He quickly tore through the void and moved away to the Yinshan District. Lu Yin was quite worried that his stellr tribtion might regard the Mother Tree as an external aid and thus grow even more powerful.
The Yinshan District was thergest of the Middle Realm’s nine districts, but it was also the most sparsely popted.
Lu Yin was also quite familiar with the district, as he had stayed there for some time when he had been a member of Humility’s Gate.
At this moment, Zhuo Si was leisurely sipping on a bit of wine within the Humility’s Gate headquarters for the Yinshan District. The four ruling powers had recently given him some trouble, due to Lu Xiaoxuan’s actions when he had been disguised as Long Qi. Thankfully, Supervisor Qing Chen had stepped in and saved the gatemaster. After that, no one else had tried to cause any further trouble for him. After all, Lu Xiaoxuan had been strutting about the Perennial World with his head high.
While Zhuo Si was indeed a former vassal of the Lu family, he had no ns to jump into Lu Xiaoxuan’s camp. The man needed to repay his debt to Humility’s Gate, as well as itsmander. Furthermore, themander was Lu Xiaoxuan’s senior brother, and Humility’s Gate had always had a close rtionship with the young man.
“These rtionships are such aplicated mess,” Zhuo Si muttered to himself. He took a long swig of wine, basking in a feeling of contentment.
Suddenly, a short fat man approached him. “Gatemaster, the sky just turned dark. Is it about to rain?”
Zhuo Si rolled his eyes. “Since when does our Yinshan District have any rain? Go find someone else to bother. Your gatemaster is busy reminiscing.”
“Oh, alright.” The little fatty left.
Zhuo Si snickered. “Rain? These brats are getting dumber by the day.”
He then looked outside, only for his jaw to drop at the sight. Isn’t that a stellr tribtion? F**k my life!
Zhuo Si quickly gathered all of his people, and evacuated along with them.
“Pardon my intrusion, Gatemaster Zhuo Si. I’ll have to trouble you for a bit,” Lu Yin called out.
For a moment, Zhuo Si just stared nkly at Lu Yin. “You brought your stellr tribtion here?”
“I didn’t have a choice. The Yinshan District is massive, and it only has a few people. It’s the perfect ce to face a stellr tribtion,” Lu Yin said with a shrug.
Zhuo Si continued to curse under his breath. He thought that he had seen themander for a brief moment, but he quickly shook his head. Whatever was happening, Zhuo Si would consider it after escaping. Still, isn’t this stellr tribtion a bit too big?
The same thought was on everyone’s mind. The size of this stellr tribtion was a little too much.
Lu Yin finally stopped moving. Even he felt that his tribtion was getting excessivelyrge. It was already even bigger than the one he had faced to be an Envoy.
The Yinshan District exceeded the size of a dozen of the Outerverse’s weaves, but Lu Yin’s stellr tribtion shrouded the entire district, and it continued to expand from there.
The sky above the Middle Realm grew dark.
The stellr tribtion’s vortex contained an indescribable darkness in its depths, and it left many people quivering in terror.
Lu Yin squinted up at the ck darkness, but he was unable to see anything. He could only wait for the attacks to begin.
Countless people looked toward the Yinshan District after sensing the oppressive aura that spread out from the region.
Many guessed that a Semi-Progenitor’s stellr tribtion had been initiated, while others believed it to be a Progenitor’s tribtion.
Lu Yin appeared to be calm, but he was actually quite anxious.
After all, he possessed four stellr energy vortices, which he had created during his first stellr tribtion. After they were formed, his tribtion had retaliated by sending down an unstoppable attack. If not for the corpse, he would have died at that time.
Since he was able to use an external item like the corpse to block the attack, it seemed that it was not part of the tribtion, but rather a form of punishment.
At the moment, Lu Yin had unsealed all four of his vortices to face this tribtion. Given the situation, he had no idea what he might face, and he ?was feeling rather apprehensive.
As he waited, the darkness within the depths of the vortex suddenly changed. Absolutely all sound disappeared; not only that, but all air, stellr energy, and everything else vanished. Lu Yin was surrounded by a perfect vacuum. He stared off into the distance and looked at a sea—no, it was ayer of clouds—no, it was neither. It looked like a sky had been formed by the gathering of stellr energy. It filled an enormous region and shadowed everything down below.
Beyond the reaches of the stellr tribtion, Mu Xie and the other Progenitors were all frozen in shock. Why was this thing appearing during Lu Yin’s sixth stellr tribtion?
“Isn’t this the field of destruction that only appears during a Progenitor’s tribtion?” Progenitor Smoke gasped in shock.
All kinds of different expressions could be seen on the faces of Bai Wangyuan and the others from the four ruling powers. Some looked delighted, and others worried. Such a sight would only ever appear when the true universe tried to attack a truly powerful cultivator, such as those attempting to break through and be a Progenitor. A field of destruction had appeared during Lu Yin’s sixth stellr tribtion, which waspletely unprecedented.
A field of destruction was the culmination of everything that a universe could throw at a cultivator. It was something that had ughtered countless Semi-Progenitors, stopping them from ever hoping to see the Progenitor realm.
Having faced a field of destruction during their own tribtions, none of the Progenitors had expected to see it appear during Lu Yin’s sixth stellr tribtion. This meant that the true universe evaluated the threat posed by Lu Yin’s existence as no weaker than a Progenitor’s.
It was important to remember that Lu Yin was not using any sort of tool or equipment, or receiving any form of assistance whatsoever. He was not using the Champions’ Stage, the jiao, or even the slipper. He was facing this stellr tribtion entirely alone.
Was Lu Yin on his own really able to threaten the true universe as much as a Progenitor? That did not seem possible.
One by one, eyes in the Outer Realm were drawn to the sight of the stellr tribtion.
Only Progenitors could understand the true meaning of what Lu Yin was facing.
Mu Xie wanted to warn Lu Yin, but he knew that if he tried to send his voice into the field of destruction that surrounded Lu Yin, it would induce a bacsh. Lu Yin was truly on his own at this moment.
People could seek advice during their tribtion to be an Envoy, just like how Lu Yin had once guided Da Qiu. Such was also normally true of a person’s sixth stellr tribtion, but the field of destruction that had appeared made such assistance impossible. This went far beyond anything that could appear in a normal cultivator’s sixth stellr tribtion.
While Lu Yin did not understand the trial that he was facing, he was able to sense its immense power. Stellr energy was being pulled out from all four of his stellr energy vortices and drawn into the field of destruction that epassed the sky.
Without stellr energy, how could anyone pass this particr tribtion?
“It begins. First, all the stellr energy will be stolen from Lu Xiaoxuan’s body. Then, the sky formed from stellr energy will unleash a powerful attack. If he can’t ovee this trial, it will show that he doesn’t qualify to be a Progenitor. Progenitors stand at the peak of humanity. Each one is an existence capable of creating new powers from nothing. It’s very, very difficult to rely on just stellr energy to be a Progenitor,” Wang Fan said.
Progenitor Smoke watched with aplicated expression. “This doesn’t seem fair to Lu Xiaoxuan. He’s not trying to be a Progenitor right now, so why is this the trial that he’s facing?”
Mu Xie watched on in awe. Their master’s conditions to ept someone as his disciple was for the person to possess exceptional talent and an incredible work ethic. On top of that, an Envoy needed to be capable of challenging Semi-Progenitors, and a Semi-Progenitor needed to be powerful enough to fight a Progenitor. That was Mister Mu’s standard. Despite that, not even Mu Xie could have passed this challenge during his sixth stellr tribtion. This trial was normally only given when cultivators tried to be Progenitors. How monstrously talented was his junior brother?
Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed as he released his unique power from within his chest. His own power created a small, starry universe that held back a section of the field of destruction.
At this time, Lu Yin stopped leaking stellr energy from his four vortices. The power in his heart had managed to iste him from the pulling force of the true universe.
Many people watching were shocked by Lu Yin’s sess.
“He actually blocked it?”
“How can that be? Has he created his own unique power?”
“Only Semi-Progenitors who have created their own cultivation method and formed inner worlds from that are able to stop the true universe from taking back its stellr energy, but Lu Yin somehow managed to aplish the same feat as a mere Envoy.”
“Come to think of it, four Semi-Progenitors once worked together to fight him in the past, but he managed to ignore the suppression of their inner worlds and even killed one of the four. He must have created his own power long ago.”
…
Several Progenitors were actively discussing Lu Yin’s stellr tribtion. Semi-Progenitors and below were unable to even see what was happening.
A thunderous roar echoed through the sky and across the Middle Realm. It was as though the sky itself was being crushed, and the earth below started splitting apart. How insignificant were humans inparison to the vastness of the sky and earth? How could humans ever hope to ovee the power of the sky?
The power that you cultivate was granted to you by the sky. How can you resist the sky?
You are nothing more than an ant. Beneath this sky, all shall be destroyed.
Don’t resist. Die.
Die.
Die.
Numerous voices swirled through the air, each one encouraging Lu Yin to give up and give in to the embrace of death. The true universe was trying to destroy Lu Yin’s will to resist.
Even as the field of destruction that filled the sky continued exerting an oppressive pressure on him, Lu Yin still arrogantly raised his chin. “You want me to give up? What a joke! Since you are the sky, then I will—Flip the Sky!”
He raised a hand, causing dirt to manifest in the sky and form andmass beneath the sky that had formed from the field of destruction.
It looked as though andmass had been added beneath the new sky. It looked quite simr to how the Middle Realm sat far above the Lower Realm.
Numerous people watched from outside the Yinshan District, and they gaped in awe at the sudden appearance of a new maind. Was the Perennial World about to gain a fourth Realm?
The sight stunned everyone who saw it.
There was no battle technique that could override the sky formed by this field of destruction, but the soil that appeared was from a Maind. The true universe was not an actual universe, but rather a phenomenon caused by the Origin Progenitor’s power, and it had been created from a Maind. Therefore, the true universe could not stop the movement of the soil that came from a Maind.
“The ground below and the sky above. Today, the ground shall dominate the sky. I will flip the sky!” Lu Yin turned his hand over and swung his hand downwards. The maind that appeared in the sky suddenly swapped ces with the field of destruction that had formed a sky.
Both the sky and ground shook violently as the field of destruction was flipped over. Tremors spread through the ground across the Middle Realm and further across the entire Perennial World. The tremors continued even further and even affected the Fifth Maind. Countless people looked up in despair. Everyone felt helpless when the sky was overturned.
Who could stop the sky from flipping over?
Bai Wangyuan’s eyes flickered. This technique was not particrly powerful, but Flipping the Sky was actually able to ovee the field of destruction. It was absolutely shocking to see.
“So is this the Flipping the Sky that Lu Xiaoxuan created back then? How did he do it?”
“It’s a technique that no one else is able to learn. There’s a reason why it’s regarded as one of the Lu family’s top techniques.”
Awe filled Progenitor Smoke’s eyes. “This is a conception technique that relies entirely onprehension and will. The strength of the user doesn’t matter at all, but they can still potentially release a peerless disy of strength. It’s hard to imagine how such a young man created this. I wonder how he managed to develop such extraordinary willpower.”
Mu Xie was equally awestruck. His junior brother could flip the sky as a mere Envoy. If others could learn this technique, then the field of destruction would no longer pose a threat to those who tried to be Progenitors. It was no wonder why this Flipping the Sky was regarded as one of the Lu family’s best battle techniques, as well as why its creation had drawn the attention of the Lu family’s senior Progenitor.
