Chapter 1550: Invincible God Of Death

"How can you be certain that I'm really Lu Xiaoxuan?" Lu Yin asked as he stared at Shi Xin.

Shi Xin's eyes flickered, but then he laughed. "It really is you! I doubted myself at Dragon Mountain, and I never expected it to actually be you! Lu Xiaoxuan, you're back!"

"Why are you so certain that I'm Lu Xiaoxuan?" Lu Yin asked again, louder.

Shi Xin explained, "Because only a few people in the entire Lu family were actually able to use the Champions’ Stage, and all of the others are gone. Besides, your face is a perfect match. Who else could you possibly be?”

"Though, it looks like you've lost your memory."

Lu Yin looked beyond the sourcebox array and at the confused eyes of the elders of the White Dragon Clan and the Celestial Frost Sect. It seemed that the elders did not have the same knowledge as Shi Xin.

"What do you know?" Lu Yin asked.

Shi Xin shook his head. "Unfortunately, just your existence is enough to disrupt the entire Perennial World. Even though you might not be killed, your fate will be worse than death. However, I’d like to finish our fight before that happens. I’d like to see how different you are from the original Lu Xiaoxuan."

After he finished speaking, veins of stone appeared across his body, and he disappeared with the increased speed of the Wind God technique. He suddenly shot out of the true universe to attack Lu Yin.

Shi Xin said nothing more, but Lu Yin knew that the man would not share any additional information.

"By my name, I summon my champion." As Lu Yin spoke, the star energy drained from his body, and a copy of Bai Shaohong stepped forward next to him. It raised its hand to unleash Gap Between Heaven and Human against Shi Xin.

Outside of the sourcebox array trapping Lu Yin, everyone from the Celestial Frost Sect had been shocked by the revelation of Lu Yin's true identity, but they became upset and furious when they saw the summon of Bai Shaohong.

"The Lu family is a bunch of bastards! Return my Junior Progenitor!" One of the Celestial Frost Sect’s Envoys charged into the array, hoping to gain an advantage from the fact that Lu Yin had put away all of his power vessels.

“By my name, I summon a champion.” Lu Yin spoke again, and this time, a summon of the Giant Emperor appeared with a roar as it unleashed a punch.

The Giant Emperor was not able to stand up to an Envoy, but Lu Yin needed to use the giant to keep this particular Envoy occupied for a single moment. Even if the Envoy was launching a sneak attack, he had still passed through two stellular tribulations.

Lu Yin shifted to the side. The void tore open right in front of him as a broken knife fell down. The blade shifted to the side, still trying to cut Lu Yin. The wielder was a powerhouse from Shenwu's Sky.

Lu Yin snapped out with a kick, causing the ground to shatter with a bang and dust to fill the air. Lu Yin fell a hundred meters back. The powerhouse from Shenwu’s Sky flipped the knife around and slashed at Lu Yin again, each attack aiming to kill the youth.

Lu Yin raised his head. "The Celestial Frost Sect and Shenwu's Sky have three Envoys ganging up on me, Lu Yin! Who still dares to say that my Lu family relies on power vessels? Who can compare to me?"

There was a bang as the broken knife slashed sideways, cutting a straight line through space. Lu Yin lifted his hand to face off against the Envoy. He could only rely on his physical power at this moment, as the Envoys were able to completely suppress all of his star energy.

There was a popping sound as the knife-wielding powerhouse from Shenwu’s Sky stared at Lu Yin in amazement after being struck with a Vacuum Palm that had forced him to step back. “As expected of the Lu family’s seventh son. You really are incredibly gifted, but you have to die here today!"

He then slashed out with the knife again while simultaneously boosting his strength with the Divine Martial Armor.

Shi Xin leaped out of the sourcebox array. He did want to fight with Lu Yin, but he wanted a fair match and not to gang up on Lu Yin with others. He refused to be a knife that someone else wielded.

However, even though Shi Xin had withdrawn from the battle, two more Envoys leaped forward; one from the Wang family and the other from the White Dragon Clan.

Four Envoys united against Lu Yin.

The Bai Shaohong summoned by the Champions' Stage faced off against the Envoy from the Wang family while the branch elder from the White Dragon Clan joined the two Envoys from Shenwu’s Sky to directly face Lu Yin.

No one there could believe what they were seeing. The four ruling powers were working together to take a singular Lu Yin. This was such a shocking scene, but it also gave many people a feeling of deja vu: the four ruling powers uniting against the Lu family.

Nong Lie was furious at the sight. "How shameless! Four Envoys working together to fight an Enlighter? This is humiliating!”

No one spoke up to refute him, as he spoke the truth.

Also, there was no one who dared to mock or ridicule Lu Yin and the Lu family at this moment. Forget four Envoys—the Junior Progenitors were only capable of facing a single Envoy at best, and yet Lu Yin was going up against four on his own. This was no different from him fighting against all four Junior Progenitors at the same time.

This was the first time in Xia Taili’s life that she was truly startled by a person. She had previously believed that her brother, Xia Shenfei, was invincible, but at this moment, that belief was completely shattered. Lu Yin’s strength far surpassed anything that Xia Taili had ever imagined.

"This is truly embodying the saying, ‘one person as strong as a nation, one person lording over all,’" someone muttered, and it accurately described Lu Yin's strength.

Lu Yin focused on two Envoys. They had each passed through two tribulations, so he was not doing very well against them. This situation felt just like the one where he had faced off against the four Junior Progenitors in the Dominion Realm. No, his current situation actually felt even worse, as he was not able to use any star energy while his opponents still could.

The summoned Giant Emperor and Bai Shaohong were continuously being pushed back. No matter how powerful Lu Yin’s Champions’ Stage might be, it still struggled to stand up to the suppression of stellular energy. After all, Lu Yin’s champions were formed from star energy.

The star energy that made up his champions’ bodies continued to weaken until the Giant Emperor finally disappeared. Even without the suppression of stellular energy, the Giant Emperor had never been a match for an Envoy who had survived two tribulations, and the champion had only lasted for a short while because it had been able to instantly recover by using star energy. The continuous suppressive effect of stellular energy on star energy also forced the summoned Bai Shaohong to quickly disappear. This was not because it had been any weaker than the Envoy, as at his peak, Bai Shaohong had been able to face off against a two tribulation Envoy. Even though he was not guaranteed a victory, he would definitely have been able to hold his own.

However, Lu Yin’s champions had no intelligence, and their bodies were also formed from star energy, not to mention all of the battle techniques that they used. Even the body of the summoned Bai Shaohong had not been particularly stable, and this was the reason why it had quickly vanished.

Lu Yin used a Vacuum Palm to force the White Dragon Clan’s elder back. Lu Yin’s attacks were truly powerful, and even after the elder had used the White Dragon Transformation, Lu Yin still left behind a palm print on the old man, though he failed to inflict much damage. The energy of the Divine Martial Armor enveloped the area and froze the void. Lu Yin was left without any means of evasion, and a knife fell. A bit further away, the Envoys from the Celestial Frost Sect and the Wang family both attacked as well.

Lu Yin managed to avoid the broken knife, but he failed to evade the Gap Between Heaven and Human palm or the Four Arts: Celestial Blade.

Everyone was left speechless. Four two-tribulation Envoys were working together to suppress Lu Yin. Even if the Envoys were facing someone with their own cultivation realm, how many people would be able to endure such an assault?

Blood poured out from a massive wound on Lu Yin's stomach, and the Gap Between Heaven and Human palm struck his shoulder. His body dried up where the palm attack landed, and his vitality was drained. This was the Celestial Frost Sect’s palm technique.

Lu Yin looked up at the Envoys facing him. The one from the Celestial Frost Sect was in front of him, and the other three were evenly spaced out, completely surrounding him.

In this situation, no one could say anything even if Lu Yin used a power vessel. His survival so far was already shocking enough. After all, he had not instantly died after being attacked by four Envoys. No one had ever been targeted by four two-tribulation Envoys as a thirty two cycle Enlighter before. Not even the Seven Heroes from the past could have accomplished such a thing.

However, did Lu Yin actually need to use any power vessels? There was no need to go so far yet, as he still had not revealed his full strength. No matter if it led to his life or death, he would definitely leave the Perennial World with a legend that would be in no way inferior to the Seven Heroes.

Shaman God had hoped that Lu Yin would reveal himself as a truly peerless talent. If that happened, then even if Lu Yin managed to escape back to the Fifth Mainland, the Perennial World’s forces would chase after him. However, Lu Yin also wanted to redeem the reputation of his Lu family, and he wanted to create a legend for his family with his name as Lu Yin. He wanted every single enemy of his family still in the Perennial World to lose sleep from his mere existence while also becoming a beacon of hope to the Lu family’s surviving vassals and former retainers.

He wanted everyone to know that the Lu family still lived; no, that he still lived and that he would eventually become a Progenitor. Since one person from his family was as strong as a nation, he alone represented hope for the Lu family’s future.

Lu Yin looked up and let out a long breath. He spoke slowly and deliberately. "My name is Lu Yin. There’s no need to worry about what happened in the past. I, Lu Yin, am here now. I am the current patriarch of the Lu family! I want the entire Perennial World to know that the Lu family will return, and when I come back, I will take back everything that belongs to my Lu family!"

"Shut up, you Lu bastard! You will die here today!" the Celestial Frost Sect’s Envoy shouted fiercely.

Inside the sourcebox array, the elder from the White Dragon Clan was actually more eager to see Lu Yin dead than even the Celestial Frost Sect’s experts. As soon as the commander reappeared, Lu Yin’s identity would be made public, and the White Dragon Clan would become the Perennial World’s greatest joke. Lu Yin had to die as soon as possible so that his blood could wash away the White Dragon Clan’s humiliation.

"Kill that Lu bastard!"

"The Lu family actually wants to return? You will die here today!"

"Kill him!"

"Elder, kill him!"

…

A smile tugged at the corners of Lu Yin's mouth. "You guys are scared."

He then pulled out a skeleton from his cosmic ring that radiated black energy. Lu Yin had taken these bones from Crown Prince Gui Qian, and while the bones were not very useful to Lu Yin, they contained an amazing amount of death energy.

As the death energy entered Lu Yin’s body, he was encapsulated within a black and white cocoon that wrapped around him.

Everyone stared on in surprise. Every single person felt confused, as not a single one of them could understand what sort of technique they were witnessing.

The Envoy from Shenwu’s Sky slashed out with his knife; regardless of what technique Lu Yin was using, it was better to stop it.

The knife slashed at the black and white cocoon, but it was actually stopped by the death energy. The powerhouse was shocked, but he immediately attacked again. This time, the other three Envoys attacked as well, which led to four attacks striking at the same time. This managed to break the cocoon, but a pitch-black scythe emerged from the cocoon in response and stabbed into the true universe to attack the Envoy from Shenwu's Sky. The man was startled; a scythe? Almost no one used this weapon.

The man lifted his broken knife and wrapped the energy of his Divine Martial Armor around it before unleashing another attack. This one was easily powerful enough to kill a one-tribulation Envoy.

There was a bang as the scythe clashed with the broken knife, and Lu Yin emerged from the cocoon, allowing everyone to finally see him clearly.

His hair had grown out to reach his waist. His upper body was naked, and a black mist twined about his arm. There were chains behind him, and his body was marked with incomprehensible red lines. His left arm sported a shield that was condensed from a white mist while the black mist around his body made him look like a god of death.

Everyone was stunned at his appearance, though when one person saw this sight, his mind nearly exploded, as this was unbelievable. "Death- the God of Death? The legendary God of Death!?"

"That’s impossible. The God of Death is nothing more than a legend. There’s no proof that such a being ever existed."

"This is the God of Death that Specter Abyss has been searching for!"

The Envoy from Shenwu's Sky was stunned—the God of Death?

Lu Yin's eyes had turned pure black. He stared at the Envoy without saying a word. Suddenly, the scythe twirled around and slashed out from an unbelievable angle to slice the man’s arm off. The broken knife fell to the ground. The protection of the Divine Martial Armor had been completely useless.

The elder from the White Dragon Clan emerged above Lu Yin, driving his spear down at the youth’s head.

Lu Yin grabbed the chain that was wrapped around his body and swung his arm. The nebulous chain shot up and wrapped around the spear, one layer after another before also wrapping around the elder from the White Dragon Clan. The elder immediately used the White Dragon Transformation and his physical strength exponentially increased as he raised his claw in a bid to break free.
