Chapter 2865: Innate Gift Reappears

Lightstream forced the Sovereign back, but Ju Ji, the black-robed man, and the two Progenitor-level corpse kings managed to escape.

Sovereign Shao Yin stared at Lu Yin in disbelief. "You can actually move?"

Lu Yin answered in a cold and arrogant tone, "Are you able to understand my power?"

He then took a step and instantly disappeared. He used Lightstream again and reversed time.

As soon as he saw Lu Yin disappear, Sovereign Shao Yin immediately fled, but he was already too late.

As long as Lu Yin was able to endure the attacks of the Yang sequence particles, their battle was destined to be one-sided.

Lu Yin took out the seven star Immemorial card Evernight, wanting to capture Sovereign Shao Yin, which would also prevent any accidents from occurring.

Sovereign Shao Yin was not Xia Shenji, and the moment Lu Yin took out his card, the Sovereign understood what was happening. The moment he was sucked into Evernight, he would be finished.

In a fit of madness, blue lines suddenly appeared on Shao Yin’s body, and they spread all across his body as a new power erupted, knocking Lu Yin backwards.

Lu Yin stared at the blue lines in a daze. Had the power of the Garan family just appeared on Sovereign Shao Yin’s back?

Far away, Big Sis witnessed the same thing, and she blurted, "The power of the Garan family?"

They had never imagined that Sovereign Shao Yin would actually possess that power.

The power of the Garan family from the Origin Universe’s Sixth Mainland was a power that had only ever been pa.s.sed down in a direct line of inheritance. The previous generation had to pa.s.s it along to the next.

It was because Sky Garan had disappeared that the Garan family had lost that inheritance, and without that, the Garan surname had practically vanished from history.

The Garan family had led the Sixth Mainland in the same manner that the Lu family led the Fifth Mainland. The Garan family’s only shortcoming was that their power could only be inherited by a single heir from each generation, but due to that same limitation, their power had been shocking.

Lu Yin had witnessed it for himself when he had fought against Sky Garan and the other Dao Chosen.

However, what had truly given the Garan family the ability to rule over the Sixth Mainland was their innate gift, Eight-Star Garan.

Sovereign Shao Yin gasped for breath as he glared at Lu Yin. "Do you really think that I’m an easy target? The power and foundation of Aeternus is beyond your imagination! Lu Yin, it's your turn to die."

As he spoke, the blue lines on his back started to fade, and a drop of a brilliant blue liquid appeared before the Sovereign’s eyes. Shao Yin opened his mouth and swallowed it.

This droplet was the incredible innate gift that the Garan family was so proud of, as well as what had made them famous, the Eight-Star Garan.

It had reappeared once more.

Lu Yin stared intently at the Sovereign Shao Yin. "Are you a member of the Garan family?"

After swallowing the droplet, Sovereign Shao Yin sneered at Lu Yin. "Die in your ignorance!"

The man raised a hand and lashed out with a palm strike. This was an attack that Lu Yin could not be more familiar with, as it was his own Hollow Palm.

The Eight-Star Garan was a form of spatial memory that allowed a person to reproduce any attack that had occurred within a certain area of s.p.a.ce.

When Lu Yin had faced Sky Garan, the Dao Chosen had replicated Chu Yuan's innate gift of time with his own innate gift, Eight-Star Garan. That moment had stunned countless people, as no one had expected someone to have such an ability.

In front of Lu Yin, Shao Yin was once again using the Eight-Star Garan.

Lu Yin raised his own hand and dispersed the Hollow Palm that was aimed at him. Shao Yin waved a hand again, and then abyssal flowers bloomed and shot towards Lu Yin. Big Sis’ power was attacking Lu Yin, and behind them was a beam of light.

"Little Seven, don't let that light touch you! Anything that touches it will be reduced to two dimensions," Big Sis warned.

Lu Yin avoided the beam of light, and his Lightstream shot towards Shao Yin.

The man looked up, and Lightstream appeared at Shao Yin’s side as well.

Lu Yin's pupils shrank. Was it even possible to use the Eight-Star Garan to replicate an inner world?

The Eight-Star Garan had granted the Garan family the power to unquestionably lead the Sixth Mainland, and the innate gift’s miraculousness had just been revealed.

Shao Yin had not wanted to use this power, but he was helpless to hold back against Lu Yin.

Big Sis, Arch-Elder Zen, Chen Le, Leng Qing, and Ju Ji—all of their Progenitor’s worlds were used against Lu Yin, one after another. It was a dazzling sight, and Lu Yin even saw his own powers be used against him. It became extremely difficult for him to get close to Shao Yin.

Lu Yin could not believe that this power could be used without any sort of restrictions. However, the divine energy was about to disappear, which would give Big Sis and the others a chance to recover.

Shao Yin was not actually arrogant enough to believe that he could actually kill Lu Yin with the Eight-Star Garan innate gift. The man had just been buying time.

Shao Yin took this opportunity to leave as the others were being restrained by the divine energy. He tore through the void and glanced back at Lu Yin. "I already told you that you can't stop me. Next time we meet, I will definitely kill you."

Lu Yin arched a brow. "You won’t get the chance."

Shao Yin suddenly felt uneasy. A bone spur suddenly shot towards him from the side, stabbing at him with a shocking amount of voidforce energy.

While the Eight-Star Garan was able to reproduce any attack that had occurred within a certain region, it was still impossible to reproduce an attack that had not even occurred.

The bone spur was something that Lu Yin had not used yet. It was a weapon made by Wu Tian that had been left in the Voidforce Universe for future generations.

Even Lord Xu had mentioned that the bone spur could ignore any defenses and that it was an incredible treasure even for peak powerhouses.

Lu Yin rarely ever used the bone spur. With his current strength, the opponents who could actually threaten him were all sequence powerhouses, and the bone spur could not break through their defenses. The bone spur was not the slipper, but it could still be incredibly useful if used at the right opportunity.

Lu Yin did not intend to kill Shao Yin with the bone spur, merely prevent the man from leaving.

As soon as the bone spur pierced through s.p.a.ce, the void was shredded and warped, which prevented Shao Yin from leaving for a second time.

Lu Yin took out his slipper. "Let's see how long you can survive."

The slipper swung at the man, scattering every attack that Shao Yin sent out. Lu Yin pressed forward, one step at a time. Shao Yin started to grow a bit anxious. His power was about to expire, as the Eight-Star Garan could not last for too long.

Shao Yin had no way to deal with Lu Yin. The young man possessed myriad powers, many of which had not been used before in this battle. Those tricks could be used to continuously prevent Shao Yin from escaping.

Lightstream surrounded Shao Yin as he continued to fall back. "Lu Yin, do you really want to fight me to the death?"

"Do you even qualify?" Lu Yin mocked.

Shao Yin gritted his teeth. "The Aeternals are not nearly as simple as you believe. Humanity cannot win. Why else would we join Aeternus? So what if your Lu family has returned? The Great Sovereign is a mad woman, and since she was able to attack your family once, she can certainly do so again.”

Lu Yin slapped an abyssal flower aside with his slipper, evaded Ju Ji’s power, and then raised his right fist. In his chest, the Withered Bark had not yet fully transformed into a star above the continent, and it swayed as the power of time confined Lu Yin’s punches. "Shao Yin, die!"

Lu Yin’s punch shot out as he spoke. He was able to confine a hundred punches before releasing a single attack, which was strong enough to threaten even the captains of the True G.o.d Guard. In Zhong Pan, Lu Yin had witnessed a creature whose physical strength was second only to Corpse G.o.d, but Lu Yin would surely surpa.s.s that, and at this moment, Shao Yin saw that for himself.

No matter what attacks Shao Yin had reproduced or what power he had used, none of it was capable of standing up to Lu Yin’s blow that had confined a hundred punches into one. Even during Big Sis’ fight with Ju Ji, no attack had been as powerful as the punch that Lu Yin released at this moment.

This was a punch that could shatter everything.

In the same manner as when Lu Yin had faced the Cyclic Tribulation, he intended to smash everything apart with one punch.

Shao Yin's face turned pale. He felt an unprecedented sense of danger from this attack. If his power had not been taken from him by the Great Sovereign, he would not feel intimidated by this attack, as his Extreme Yin sequence particles would have been enough to block Lu Yin's attack. Sequence particles were a qualitative change in power level, but Shao Yin’s sequence particles were only half-complete.

As Lu Yin’s punch approached, Shao Yin let out a breath and replicated all of the attacks that had already been used in the nearby area, and everything moved to block Lu Yin’s punch.

As for Lu Yin’s attack, it was only a punch.

However, the punch shattered every power that Shao Yin reproduced before continuing on towards Shao Yin.

Shao Yin grew pale and clenched his teeth. He refused to believe that this young man could kill him with a single punch.

The power of the Garan family was not so easy to deal with!

Behind Shao Yin, more than half of the total blue stripes disappeared, which were the last of them.

Sovereign Shao Yin expanded the area affected by the Eight-Star Garan, encompa.s.sing not only the battlefield, but also the Merchant Exchange’s headquarters.

Suddenly, Shao Yin coughed up blood. Shock covered his face, though he also let out a triumphant laugh. "Child of the Lu family, your death has arrived!"

An invisible power fell from the void and shot towards Lu Yin.

Danger screamed in Lu Yin's mind. An incredible power had just appeared. This was not something that he could stop on his own, and there was no way that this was Sovereign Shao Yin’s power. This was something that the Eight-Star Garan had found, and it had appeared in the Decaying Diablo Universe long ago.

For Lu Yin to feel such terrible danger from this attack, it had to be from a sequence powerhouse.

Lightstream appeared, and time was reversed. Lu Yin had released countless punches that were confined and released as a single attack, and reversing time undid this punch. However, Lightstream could only reverse time for Lu Yin. It only impacted a small area, and it was impossible for Lu Yin to reverse Shao Yin’s time.

All of the attacks that Shao Yin had reproduced with his Eight-Star Garan reappeared, and in addition to that, the attack that made Lu Yin feel so threatened also approached.

That strange power came from behind, and it instantly destroyed all of the attacks that Shao Yin had reproduced and directed towards Lu Yin. After that, the mysterious attack continued on towards Lu Yin.

Sovereign Shao Yin's eyes blazed with excitement. He had no idea who had used this attack in the past, but there was no doubt that it could kill Lu Yin in an instant. If possible, Shao Yin wanted to eliminate this threat.

Lu Yin shook his head. "This is quite interesting, but if you want to kill me, you first have to hit me."

Lightstream swirled, and just as the unknown attack was about to strike Lu Yin, time reversed, and Lu Yin used the extra second to dodge with Inverse Step. The attack shot through where Lu Yin had just been standing, shattering s.p.a.ce into an unknown distance. The attack seemed to split the entire Decaying Diablo Universe in two.

Sovereign Shao Yin was dumbfounded. Had Lu Yin actually dodged the attack?

This was not the first time that Lu Yin had done such a thing. He had used the same method during the final tribulation of his Semi-Progenitor tribulation. In fact, if he hadn’t dodged with this method, Lu Yin would have died during his tribulation.

This was the disadvantage of Eight-Star Garan. While it was possible to copy abilities, it was impossible to fully control them.

Ultimately, the Eight-Star Garan was simply a form of spatial memory, and it could even be considered similar to runes in a sense. How much damage had an attack done to s.p.a.ce in the affected area? That was what the Eight-Star Garan copied, not the actual abilities that had once been used.

As long as the attacks could be avoided, what could copied attacks accomplish?

There was no invincible innate gift in existence, and this was just as true for the Garan family’s familial innate gift as it was of the Lu family’s.

Shao Yin vomited a mouthful of blood and swayed on his feet. He had not expected Lu Yin to actually be able to dodge that attack.

Lu Yin took a step forward. At this moment, Shao Yin no longer had the strength to fight back against Lu Yin.

Lu Yin’s hand rose, and he grabbed hold of Shao Yin. The Sovereign stared at Lu Yin in a daze, and the young man pressed down firmly with his hand, forcing Shao Yin to his knees. "Kneel for my Lu family and for all those who sacrificed their lives for us.”

Lu Yin then lifted Shao Yin up, only to slam him back down to his knees again, shattering the man’s knees. "Kneel in penance for your own crimes. You’ve betrayed mankind and turned to Aeternus, becoming a spy."

The former Sovereign was lifted up yet again.

Madness filled Shao Yin's eyes as he glared at Lu Yin. The man wanted to say something.
