Star Odyssey Chapter 2828: There's More?

Chapter 2828: There’s More?

The speck of dust continued to shake, and Lu Yin's eyes grew heated. He had to shatter this dust speck.

By now, the dust speck was only one meter away from him.

When the pressure arrived, Lu Yin felt like he was just an ordinary human who was seeing the mountains fall. He did not even notice that he was vomiting blood as he focused on continuing. Flipping the Sky, Flipping the Sky, Flipping the Sky...

Lu Yin attacked faster and faster, and the dust trembled more and more violently.

The pressure on Lu Yin never let up. He did not know how long he could endure under the pressure, but he was at his limit.

At that moment, a strand of light appeared beside Lu Yin. It was his second inner world, Lightstream.

The strand of light swirled about, and Lu Yin could feel that time had been reversed within his surroundings. He saw the speck of dust suddenly move several meters above him. He wanted to take a step, but was unable to do so. He wanted to move, but that was also impossible. There was another him, which was the scene of what had just occurred, with the strand of light appearing. He was peering into the past.

However, what was the use of looking into the past without the ability to alter it?

Lu Yin returned to himself, and he watched as the strand of light shot up towards the dust. The speck of dust miraculously moved up slightly. While it was only a very short distance, the dust returned to where it had been one second before, which made Lu Yin excited. The strand of light was capable of reversing time, albeit very briefly.

One second. One second. One second. Lightstream continued to swirl around the dust as Lu Yin continued to use Flipping the Sky.

Outside the stellular tribulation, countless people stared in a daze. Most people were still unable to understand what was happening, but the few who could were startled.

"He- he actually just reversed time." Mu Tao was shocked. Time was beyond most people’s senses, and even if there were a few individuals capable of touching the power of time, they could not reverse it.

For example, Xia Shenji was able to use his Graduation to trap his opponents with the power of time, but reversing time was impossible for the Progenitor.

Another example was Inverse Step, which could distort time within an area, but not truly reverse it. In fact, the exact effects were uncontrollable.

The only person capable of doing something similar to Lu Yin with his Lightstream was Wendy Yushan. She was able to reverse time within a small area with Rewind, her innate gift. The moment her innate gift was revealed, Sage Bodhi had immediately tried to recruit Wendy as a disciple. Many years had pa.s.sed since Wendy Yushan had awakened her innate gift, but she had always struggled to increase the amount of time that she could reverse with Rewind by even the slightest bit.

This was the power of time.

While facing his stellular tribulation, Lu Yin was using Lightstream to continuously reverse time. This was not merely touching the power of time, but rather actually controlling it.

While he could only revert time for a single second at the moment, that was not an indication of what he could do in the future. As his cultivation, strength, and comprehension of his inner world all improved, his control over the power of time would grow stronger and stronger as well. He had the means to cultivate the power of time.

Even if he had only just started, this power had already saved his life.

If not for Lightstream, Lu Yin would have been forced to either retreat from his stellular tribulation, failing this attempt, or be crushed. There was no third option.

Lightstream never stopped moving.

Ancient G.o.d was also shocked by Lu Yin's progress. Despite only facing a Semi-Progenitor tribulation, what Lu Yin had encountered was far more shocking than a Progenitor’s tribulation.

Ancient G.o.d had seen too many people face a Progenitor’s stellular tribulation, including the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas of the Heavens Sect era, as well as people from Progenitor Chen’s generation. Those stellular tribulations had been truly shocking, but not even those could compare to what this child was facing.

On top of that, this was only a Semi-Progenitor tribulation.

Lu Yin's face grew pale. He had no idea how many times he had reversed time so far. The speck of dust was still falling towards his head, so he just kept reversing time again and again...

After las.h.i.+ng out with Flipping the Sky countless times, Lu Yin was able to see the Fifth Mainland far more clearly than before. But in return, cracks were constantly spreading across his body, and the pressure that a.s.saulted him also caused him to cough up blood.

There was absolutely no change to the dust’s sequence particles, as nothing Lu Yin did was able to influence them in the slightest.

True G.o.d Wei Yi was impressed. "For him to be able to persist for so long beneath Primaldust, the child deserves his t.i.tle of Dao Monarch."

The Great Sovereign stared at Lu Yin. She realized that she had still been underestimating this child of the Lu family. Each of his inner worlds was extremely powerful, and they presented infinite possibilities for his future. If he had been born during the Heavens Sect era and received his protection to rise up to become a Progenitor, there was no doubt that the child of the Lu family would have become one of the most powerful humans to ever live.

But the current era was different.

Even if the Great Sovereign did nothing, the Aeternals would never allow the child to live.

With the attention of both True G.o.d Wei Yi and the Seven SkyG.o.ds on him, it was impossible for the child of the Lu family to leave this battlefield alive.

...

Every inch of Lu Yin's body had become riddled with cracks. Despite the fact that he was constantly reversing time, it was difficult for his body to endure. He was feeling dizzy, and numbness plagued his limbs. He did not know how many more times he could use Flipping the Sky, let alone how many more were needed to disperse the speck of dust.

He had to endure. He had managed to persist for so long, and he had acquired both the power of time and truly infinite physical strength. On top of that, there was the power system in his chest that had even amazed Mister Mu. Lu Yin could not die here. He had to live. He had to complete his breakthrough. He had to protect the Heavens Sect. He had to bring back the Lu family.

A soft roar erupted as Lu Yin opened his mouth. More blood was vomited. His eyes were completely bloodshot as he continued. Flipping the Sky, Flipping the Sky, Flipping the Sky-

In the Origin Universe, the fight in the Fifth Mainland’s Heavens Sect had grown increasingly intense. As countless ordinary humans were caught up in the battle, they screamed.

Numerous planets were shattered, and battles.h.i.+ps continued to explode as invisible attacks tore through the universe, instantly crossing unfathomable distances, completely unstoppable.

Many people had fallen to their knees in front of statues of Lu Yin, praying for the Dao Monarch’s return.

More and more people knelt down and started to pray. Countless voices gathered in unison as people prayed and called out Lu Yin's name.

As he used Flipping the Sky, Lu Yin saw this. He could see the fighting at the Heavens Sect and the countless people struggling at death’s door. His eyes blazed a more intense red. No matter what it took, he had to overcome this stellular tribulation. He had to do it both for himself, and for his home, so that those people praying to him would have a chance of survival.

They were innocent, and only wanted to live out their lives normally.

The Fifth Mainland trembled the slightest bit, and the stellular tribulation’s black hole shook. The prayers of the people in the Fifth Mainland, Flipping the Sky’s concept, and Lu Yin's hope all merged into an indescribable blow. Flipping the Sky shook the mainland as the sky itself was turned over.

The speck of dust trembled violently, and then disappeared.

Lu Yin’s Lightstream remained suspended in the air for a moment. Meanwhile, Lu Yin was drenched in blood as he looked up at where the speck of dust had disappeared.

Silence filled the region. It was so quiet that Lu Yin could clearly hear his own heart beating loudly.

He took a deep breath. No stellular tribulation could ever be impossible to overcome. No matter how terrifying it might appear, there would always be a glimmer of hope. For this last tribulation, he had had to use his second inner world, Lightstream, to even find that glimmer of hope.

Even though he had survived, when Lu Yin thought about the tribulation, he still felt afraid.

What would he have done if he had failed to find the path to success and had not repeatedly used Flipping the Sky? What if he had not had Lightstream’s ability to reverse time? Lu Yin did not even want to think about it.

He had simply wanted to use Flipping the Sky as the foundation of his third inner world as an acknowledgement of Lu Xiaoxuan’s life, but doing so had nearly gotten him killed. There was absolutely no way that Lu Xiaoxuan had created Flipping the Sky. It was absolutely impossible.

As the speck of dust vanished, the stellular energy vortex from Lu Yin’s middle meridian point started to transform into an inner world.

After surviving a crisis, all that remained was to reap the rewards.

Given how close he had come to death, Lu Yin was very curious to see what form his third inner world would take.

Everyone else was curious, including even True G.o.d Wei Yi and the Great Sovereign.

What sort of inner world would appear for someone who could survive beneath Primaldust?

As Lightstream returned to his body, a speck of dust appeared in front of Lu Yin.

He blinked. This again?

Beyond his stellular tribulation, everyone from the Sixverse a.s.sociation and Aeternus were still staring at Lu Yin. Most people were still unable to understand just what was happening. They had only seen Lu Yin coughing up more and more blood as cracks spread across his entire body. Most people had no idea what Lu Yin had endured.

In fact, only three people knew.

"Seven SkyG.o.ds, prepare to attack and kill Lu Xiaoxuan." Ancient G.o.d’s voice rang out, shaking the entire area of the Tea Ceremony, as well as the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

He had seen Lu Yin's third inner world actually form into Primaldust, which was completely unbelievable. That had been the Origin Progenitor’s weapon. How could it have become the descendant of the Lu family’s inner world?

As one of the Three Realms Six Dao, Ancient G.o.d was well aware of Primaldust’s power and how it was peerless. Why had this kid obtained Primaldust as his inner world?

Mu Shen frowned. "All members of the Sixverse a.s.sociation, we must protect the child of the Lu family!"

He did not know any of Primaldust’s details. While he had contacted the Origin Universe long ago, that did not mean that he had been able to speak to the Origin Progenitor. At best, Mu Shen had interacted with Gu Yizhi.

While Mu Shen did not know about Primaldust, he did know Gu Yizhi, and he also knew that the Aeternals could not wait to kill Lu Yin. The threat that the youth posed to Aeternus had just spiked, and that meant that the support that Lu Yin could offer the Sixverse a.s.sociation had also skyrocketed.

Further away, the Great Sovereign frowned, conflicting emotions filling her eyes. Primaldust? This child actually obtained Primaldust as his inner world? Isn't that person dead? How can his Primaldust become this child's inner world?

Even True G.o.d Wei Yi was taken aback. "Things are becoming more and more interesting."

Lu Yin did not know anything about Primaldust. All he knew was that he had almost been killed by the speck of dust and that this thing possessed extremely terrifying power.

His hand slowly rose up and gently touched the dust speck. Lu Yin was certain that if anyone else made contact with the speck of dust, things would turn out very differently.

The fact that this speck of dust had appeared during his stellular tribulation meant that someone has used it in the past. It might be a manifestation of someone's power, but then why had it become his own inner world? He had clearly triggered the stellular tribulation with Flipping the Sky, so his inner world should also be related to Flipping the Sky.

The first inner world had physical strength as its foundation, which had resulted in an inner world of infinite power.

The second inner world had s.p.a.ce as its foundation, and s.p.a.ce served as the carrier of time. The two forces had manifested together in a strand of light that had become Lu Yin’s Lightstream.

As for his third inner world, Lu Yin could not understand it at all. If the earth appears in the sky, it can be flipped over. Could it be...?

Lu Yin retracted his hand, allowing the dust to enter his body. Since this was his third inner world, he would just call it Dust World.

The inner world had formed, and everyone surrounding the stellular tribulation grew solemn. They were all preparing to restart the battle. As soon as the stellular tribulation dissipated, an even more vicious fight than the first would break out.

Lu Yin’s Semi-Progenitor tribulation had completely altered the pattern of the showdown.

Everyone was ready to start fighting again, but the stellular tribulation still did not disappear.

Lu Yin glanced around and noticed the killing intent of Ancient G.o.d and the other SkyG.o.ds. He saw how wary Mu Chen, Lord Xu, and the other rulers of the universes of the Sixverse a.s.sociation had become, as well as the fear of Xu Heng, Xu Leng, and so many more.

He gave a small smile and asked, "What are you all so worked up about? The stellular tribulation hasn’t finished yet.”

When it came to being anxious, Lu Yin was more on edge than anyone else. He had no idea how the battle being fought at the Heavens Sect would turn out.

Unfortunately, Lu Yin was the one person who could not get worked up at this moment. He needed to first survive his stellular tribulation, and the more anxious he became, the more likely he would be to make mistakes.

Everyone who heard Lu Yin was startled by his words.

"There's more?" Xu Wuwei shouted.

Everyone was staring at Lu Yin. What more could there be?

Xu Wuwei had spoken the thoughts of everyone.

Mu Ke’s grip on the hilt of his saber relaxed a bit as he stared at Lu Yin in surprise. "Master, this junior brother that you took in seems to be a true monster."

No one had expected Lu Yin to need to face yet another tribulation. They looked upwards, and sure enough, the tribulation showed no signs of disappearing.
