Chapter 2879: Master?

Lu Tianyi's single finger transformed the Sixverse Association's understanding of the man’s strength. He was one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas from the Fifth Mainland's Daosource Sect era. Lu Tianyi had faced off against True God while protecting the Fifth Mainland. He was extremely powerful. No matter how brightly Lu Yuan might shine, even he could not eclipse Lu Tianyi’s brilliance.

If Lu Yuan had founded the Lu family and led them to glory, then Lu Tianyi had furthered that work.

Lu Tianyi moved closer. "Ancestor, this is the end."

Lu Tianyi was a direct descendant of the Lu family, as was Nutjob Lu. This meant that Lu Tianyi was not only a descendant of Lu Yuan, but also of Nutjob Lu. This was because Nutjob Lu was the third generation of the Lu family’s direct line.

It was after Nutjob Lu that the Lu family started to have branches of the family. However, while there were various branches of the Lu family, only one line was ever able to awaken both the Investiture of the Gods and the Champions’ Stage: the direct line.

Nutjob Lu clenched his fists. Over his head, the golden light of the Investiture of the Gods grew even brighter, and a dark-red light surged from the man’s body as a purplish-black substance covered him. This was Wielder - Indestructible. "Junior, I may have been imprisoned for many years by the family and had my cultivation stalled, but even so, what I have accomplished is not something that you can surpass so easily. If you really believe yourself to be invincible, then just die!"

The man leaped upwards, punching at Lu Tianyi.

Far away, Sovereign Lotus frowned. It was true that there was proof, but even if Nutjob Lu was a spy, he should be dealt with by the Cyclic Universe, not someone from the Origin Universe.

The woman turned to Chu Jian. "Inform the Great Sovereign of this matter."

Chu Jian nodded and turned to leave. However, he found that, at some point in time, someone else had arrived, and they were standing a short distance behind the experts from the Cyclic Universe. Upon seeing the person, Chu Jian's expression changed drastically. "Who are you?"

Sovereign Lotus spun around and only then did she see the man standing in the sky. Horror covered the Sovereign’s features. "Who are you?"

No one had even noticed when this person had arrived.

Lu Yin heard the commotion and looked over, and was also startled. Who is that, and when did they arrive?

Mu Xie and Leng Qing both looked over as well.

At no point in time had anyone sensed the arrival of an additional person at the Stone Boundary. Only when they looked over did they notice a smiling, middle-aged man.

"I didn’t want to disturb you. Also, please don't disrupt Tai Hong's seclusion. I can make a decision on this matter."

The Lu family was a decidedly odd family. Their founding ancestor, Lu Yuan, had no equal when it came to being domineering, and most of his descendants had that same personality. This was why Lu Yin had refused to bow to the Great Sovereign during the Tea Ceremony.

While it was true that Nutjob Lu was a spy, his violent temper revealed the greatest sort of confidence that anyone had ever seen. The determination formed from the man’s hatred was without comparison. Instead, Lu Tianyi appeared to be too calm. However, this was not the calmness of still water, but rather the calmness of a silent volcano.

As Nutjob Lu’s punch that was strengthened by Wielder-realm battle force approached Lu Tianyi, the silent volcano finally erupted.

The overwhelmingly domineering punch struck the single finger, and an odd sound rang out. It sounded like rubber being hit. Lu Tianyi had caught Nutjob Lu's punch with a single finger, and the man then looked up at the terrifying attack before him. "Ancestor, this fight is not only about dealing with traitors to humanity, but it is also a chance for my Lu family to clean up our own mess and collect on the debt owed for the deaths of our family members and the suffering that so many endured."

Boom!

Nutjob Lu's body slammed down to the ground, shattering the Stone Boundary.

Lu Yin stared at Lu Tianyi in utter disbelief.

Lu Yin had already known that Lu Tianyi was incredibly powerful and undoubtedly stronger than Nutjob Lu. After all, without such strength, they would never be able to drag Nutjob Lu back. However, Lu Yin had expected the confrontation to be a battle, not a beating.

He had never expected there to be such a vast gap between the two Progenitors.

Lu Yin also had Wielder-realm battle force, which was an inheritance from Gu Yizhi. The ancient Dao Monarch had believed that Wielder - Indestructible was the true cultivation path that humans should take. Regardless of whether that belief was right or wrong, the power of Wielder-realm battle force was undeniable, and Lu Yin relied on it extensively. He was fully aware of just how powerful Nutjob Lu’s punch had been, and that it would be difficult to find anyone who had reached that level of physical might.

However, Lu Tianyi had overcome a punch strengthened by Wielder-realm battle force with nothing more than a finger.

This finger had not only overwhelmed Nutjob Lu's strength, but it had also shattered Lu Yin's confidence. How was such a thing even possible? What had Ancestor Tianyi done? Lu Yin had not seen any laws of the universe being utilized, which indicated that none had been used. Lu Tianyi’s finger had been nothing more than a finger.

Everyone was shocked. Nutjob Lu was unquestionably powerful, and even Sovereign Lotus had felt threatened. Nutjob Lu was the only one of the Nine Sages, with the possible exception of Sage Yajna, to have touched the level of mastering sequence particles. While Sage Stone had not used any sequence particles yet, his violent energy was profound enough to incorporate some of the laws of the universe, which Sovereign Lotus could clearly see. However, even when that power had been combined with Nutjob Lu’s extraordinary physical strength, he had still been utterly suppressed and outclassed.

The woman stared at Lu Tianyi. Were all of the people from the Origin Universe freaks?

Mu Xie let out a breath. This was Senior Tianyi, someone who had once faced the full power of Aeternus on the rear battlefield with his summoned gods of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. He still had not come close to revealing his full power.

The ground shattered, and Nutjob Lu rose back up. He was staring at Lu Tianyi in disbelief, his fist horribly disfigured. The strength that Nutjob Lu had been so proud of had been completely defeated. How had this brat done it?

Suddenly, the man was reminded of the first time he had met Lu Tianyi. At the time, Lu Tianyi had still been a child, and he had been introduced to Nutjob Lu by that old bastard Lu Yuan. The old man had been very proud of the genius who had been born in the Lu family. At the time, Nutjob Lu had not cared at all about the child, and he had asked the old bastard to take the child away. However, after seeing Nutjob Lu, the child had not shown any fear, and instead had wanted to approach.

It had been absurd, and if the old bastard had not stopped things, Nutjob Lu would have slapped the brat dead.

Time had passed, and Nutjob Lu met Lu Tianyi for a second time. The child had just become an adult and had politely asked to see Nutjob Lu. The brat had seemed oblivious to the man’s hatred, and he had shared many things that had happened.

The one time that Nutjob Lu had spoken to Lu Tianyi, the brat had been happy for a long time, even though the conversation had not been a pleasant one.

Nutjob Lu had asked Lu Tianyi what he would do if the day came that the Lu family could no longer keep Nutjob Lu trapped?

The brat had smiled and offered a determined answer, "If Ancestor can’t be kept imprisoned, then I will kill Ancestor."

Nutjob Lu had been completely certain that the brat had given a truthful answer. He had been completely serious, and while his tone had been polite, his smile had been ice-cold.

Time had passed, and the brat had grown increasingly powerful. Nutjob Lu had watched Lu Tianyi become a Progenitor, and then he had seen the Origin Universe’s Mainlands be destroyed. The old bastard had led the Lu family in protecting the Fifth Mainland. As for Lu Tianyi, he had eventually become the most dazzling figure in the Lu family, but even when the old bastard went into seclusion, Nutjob Lu was certain that Lu Tianyi would visit frequently.

However, throughout all of those years, not once had Nutjob Lu tested Lu Tianyi’s strength. He had been the greatest genius of the Lu family during the Daosource Sect era, and also when the Perennial World had later broken away from the Fifth Mainland. That had been the height of Lu Tianyi’s glory, and Nutjob Lu had never wanted to challenge the brat, as it was clear that Lu Tianyi had outclassed his ancestor.

However, after entering the Cyclic Universe and fleeing from the Fifth Mainland, Nutjob Lu had lost the feeling of powerlessness that he had always suffered while in the Fifth Mainland. He had received guidance from the Great Sovereign and gained mastery over sequence particles, which had allowed his own strength to spike sharply. With the power that Nutjob Lu had gained, he should not have been defeated by Lu Tianyi so easily. In fact, such a thing was impossible to imagine.

Unfortunately, the strength of an ancient Dao Chosen was not something that could be overcome.

Nutjob Lu's face twisted, as he became more and more frenzied. An uncomfortable sensation filled the area.

Beyond the Stone Boundary, space warped. This uneasy feeling made it impossible for Yao Lan to even breathe. Nothing that could be seen, and yet everyone felt a confusing sense of discomfort emanating from Nutjob Lu. The universe seemed to be in chaos with no order to anything. How could there be such a sensation?

Lu Yin stared at Nutjob Lu, his expression solemn. This was the effect of Nutjob Lu’s sequence particles.

Sure enough, the man had touched upon sequence particles, but just what was the law that he wielded?

"Lu brat, you came to see your ancestor and fulfill your promise, didn’t you? If you want to kill your ancestor, then go ahead and try it!" Nutjob Lu swung a hand and threw a palm strike at Lu Tianyi. This attack was strengthened by sequence particles, and the man followed his attack and charged at Lu Tianyi.

Lu Tianyi let out a sad breath. "Ancestor, it would have been wonderful if you hadn’t betrayed our Lu family. With another powerhouse like you, the Lu family would be invincible."

Once his words fell, Lu Tianyi pointed his finger out once again. This time, he was using his sequence particles. It was as if the universe itself was a curtain, and Lu Tianyi’s finger poked that curtain into the shape of a cone. As for Nutjob Lu's sequence particles, they were instantly scattered by the distortion of the curtain, while the sequence particles that came into direct contact with Lu Tianyi's finger were simply destroyed.

When it came to mastery over the laws of the universe, Nutjob Lu could not come close to Lu Tianyi. It might be possible for the man to catch up given enough time, but there was no time.

Lu Tianyi’s finger fell, bit by bit, shattering the restrictions of the universe itself as it fell upon Nutjob Lu. The man was stunned by the sight, and he reflexively tried to defend himself, but the finger tore through everything and struck Nutjob Lu's heart. There was a bang. The attack passed through the man, piercing his body, striking his Champions’ Stage, and going through even that.

There was a deafening noise as the Champions’ Stage split in two. At the same time, the Investiture of the Gods transformed into a golden light that slowly dissipated.

Everyone stared, flabbergasted. This was absolute suppression. No matter what Nutjob Lu tried, it would all be useless.

Lu Yin's fingers clenched into a fist. This was simply too powerful. Ancestor Tianyi had only used three finger strikes throughout the entire exchange, and yet he had utterly crushed Nutjob Lu.

Sovereign Lotus had never before felt such fear. At the return of the Lu family, everyone had been entirely focused on their founding ancestor, Lu Yuan, and they had ignored Lu Tianyi.

However, it turned out that Lu Tianyi was also absurdly powerful, and he was not any weaker than the rulers of the Sixverse Association’s member universes. In fact, it was possible that Lu Tianyi was stronger than any of them.

In the Cyclic Universe, the only person other than the Great Sovereign who could stand up to this person was Sovereign Dou Sheng.

On the ground of the Stone Boundary, Nutjob Lu lowered his head to look at the blood that stained his body. He coughed up blood and collapsed.

Lu Tianyi’s hand pulled back. "Ancestor, it's time to return."

Nutjob Lu’s body trembled, and his face turned pale. He bitterly mourned his loss. "I never thought that I would be defeated by a brat like you. If I had known how things would turn out, I would have slapped you dead long ago."

Lu Tianyi looked at Nutjob Lu and gave a small smile. It looked as though he was seeing the old man for the first time. "If people were capable of undoing their mistakes, the universe would descend into chaos."

With that, he took a step forward and passed by Nutjob Lu. The madman's body quivered, and his head rose before he crumpled to the ground.

Lu Yin frowned. Nutjob Lu had never used the Corpse King Transformation. Was that because he had known that it would be useless, or was there some other plan in mind?

At this moment, Lu Tianyi turned his head to look at a distant point in the sky. It was where the mysterious middle-aged man was standing. While Sovereign Lotus and the others had not known when the man had arrived, Lu Tianyi did.

After turning to face the man, Lu Tianyi took a deep breath and bowed. "Master, it’s been a very long time."

Lu Yin and others were stunned for a moment, and they stared at the middle-aged man. Master?

No one had expected this stranger to actually be Lu Tianyi’s master.
