During the Heavens Sect era, the Mavis family had once given birth to a freak. Her eyes had been dull, and she had not possessed any spark of life. She had been dull and lifeless all the time, and she had only resembled a human being when fighting.

That woman from the Mavis family had been known as Ah Chi.

No one remembered her true name, only the moniker of Ah Chi. She cultivated exceptionally quickly, but what was most amazing about her was the fact that Ah Chi had been capable of eating and digesting multiple fruits from the Divine Tree, which had granted her true Infinite Power. Ah Chi became synonymous with Infinite Power.

Despite her mental condition, everyone was certain that the woman would eventually become a Progenitor, and once that happened, the Mavis family would gain a terrifying powerhouse whom even the Three Realms would have admired.

Ah Chi had seemed to be specifically born for the Mavis family.

Unfortunately, Ah Chi had died, to the eternal regret of the Mavis family, and her death had also become a thorn in the heart of the Third Mainland’s Dao Monarch, Gu Yizhi.

The idiot’s favorite thing to do had been to cultivate battle force with Gu Yizhi.

"Even I have to admit that, within the same realm, there is no one capable of surpassing an idiot who’s capable of devouring multiple fruits. Child of the Lu family, if you can surpass her, you will become the strongest throughout all of human history," Ancient God murmured.

Lu Yin’s eyes focused sharply as he stared at the humanoid tribulation before him. She was still eating more fruits.

The pressure from the humanoid tribulation’s rising strength grew stronger and stronger. If Lu Yin did not use any of his other abilities and relied purely on the strength of his body, Lu Yin was honestly rather uncertain if he could win.

This Mavis was a monster! Heluo Mavis was far inferior to this humanoid tribulation, and yet she had been a Dao Chosen.

In the end, all of the Divine Tree’s fruits were eaten, and the humanoid tribulation casually dispersed the Divine Tree with a thought. She did not even use aurelian force as her fist slowly rose and punched at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin felt the suffocating pressure of pure physical might.

Even his breath was suppressed. Ever since he had surpassed Yuhua Mavis in strength, and he had not fallen to a disadvantage in strength.

However, just this one punch was enough for Lu Yin to know that he could not compare to the humanoid tribulation in terms of brute strength.

Raising their physical strength by eating the fruits of the Divine Tree. This was the Mavis family’s Infinite Power. If this woman was capable of swallowing more fruits, then there was no reason for her to hold back just to be polite.

The humanoid tribulation shot towards Lu Yin with a bang, releasing a punch. Her fist crushed space and unleashed a never-before-seen pressure. The void was torn asunder, and the ensuing destruction spread far beyond the range of the stellular tribulation. The shockwaves rippled through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, cracking them and shattering the Heavenly Gate.

Xu Heng, Xiu Ci, Sage Jiang, and the others at their level were able to feel the pressure of this blow, and they struggled to breathe. Such power was beyond anything they had imagined possible.

This was not the strength that a mere Ascendant should possess. This was not something that even Food Sage could compare to.

Lu Yin watched the punch move closer and closer to him. The woman’s fist was so small, and yet it carried such an absurd amount of power.

Only with sufficient speed could anyone evade this attack, but this was supposed to be a competition of strength, so why should Lu Yin avoid the punch? How would he form an inner world founded upon physical strength if he ran away from a competition of physical might?

The stellular tribulation had appeared, and Lu Yin needed to defeat it.

His face grew solemn, and the purplish-black substance spread across his body as he used his Wielder-realm battle force. The Immovable Heavenly King Elephant roared, and Extremes Must Be Reversed caused Lu Yin’s arms to wither up. He released a punch, and as he did so, the Withered Bark within him shifted. Fifty punches were confined within time.

The terrible collision nearly shattered everyone's eardrums, and many people grew dizzy and nearly collapsed.

The shockwave from the clash radiated out with so much power that it pushed the void back. The rippling void was like a wave that rose into a tsunami that spread out in all directions.

This punch was Lu Yin's most powerful, and he shattered the humanoid tribulation with pure force.The humanoid tribulation’s Infinite Power had been strong enough to kill even an above average Progenitor, but Lu Yin’s punch could threaten anyone beneath the level of a sequence powerhouse.

The humanoid tribulation was shattered without any resistance. Lu Yin’s fist passed through the humanoid tribulation, and only then did he slowly relax his clenched fists.

Ah Chi had been defeated.

Outside the range of the stellular tribulation, Ancient God was not surprised by the outcome. The descendant of the Lu family had multiple methods he could use, so even if his physical strength was not equal to Ah Chi’s, the young man had other ways to secure a victory, such as his Investiture of the Gods.

Lu Yin’s punch had not been pure physical strength.

However, Ah Chi’s strength had been acquired from the Mavis family’s Divine Tree, which was no different from Lu Yin using various means to reinforce his attack.

The Semi-Progenitor tribulation had only just begun, so why had Lu Yin faced Ah Chi as his first opponent? There should be no one throughout all of history who could surpass Ah Chi when it came to physical might. Ancient God felt rather puzzled.

A connection formed between Lu Yin and the black hole of the stellular tribulation, and it had been formed from strength. This connection was the direction that Lu Yin wanted the transformation of his inner world to take.

Once the humanoid stellular tribulation was shattered, an invisible power caused the stellular energy cyclone within Lu Yin's body to start to change.

Lu Yin arched a brow. Had he succeeded? Normally, there would not be just one challenge for a stellular tribulation. He carefully thought it through. Could the stellular tribulation have detected all four of his stellular energy vortices? If that was the case, then why had his first challenge been the most powerful challenge possible?

It was not impossible, and it would explain why Lu Yin’s first challenge had been a humanoid tribulation. Such a thing was completely absurd.

If an average Semi-Progenitor had faced the humanoid tribulation instead of Lu Yin, forget Infinite Power—they would have been blasted apart long before even seeing Infinite Power. That punch had been beyond the means of most Progenitors.

After all, the humanoid tribulation had actually blocked one of Lu Yin’s punches, and only his second punch had shattered it. In comparison, for the Cyclic Tribulation, not even the black lotus had managed to truly block one of Lu Yin’s punches.

There was no doubt that Lu Yin had already faced the most powerful challenge for any strength-related aspects of his stellular tribulation.

Within Lu Yin's body, a stellular energy vortex began to change. It emerged from his body and transformed into light that surrounded him before slowly spreading out. It was beautiful to see.

Lu Yin raised a hand to touch the light, and power poured into his body, thrilling him. He was looking at pure strength. The light that surrounded him represented physical power.

He continued to draw the light into his body, and it caused his strength to continuously rise.His physical strength rose higher and higher as his inner world expanded with increasing amounts of light.

Lu Yin's breathing quickened. How much light was there? If everything that he saw entered his body, just how much would his strength increase by? He could not even imagine it, because his inner world would expand as his cultivation rose, which would only further increase its power.

This inner world had been formed upon a foundation of strength, and it would allow Lu Yin to raise his strength without limit.

The seemingly simple lines continue to spread out, almost forming planes instead of lines. They held the possibility of infinite strength, so that would be the name of Lu Yin’s first inner world: Infinity.

Outside the stellular tribulation, the people from the Sixverse Association did not understand what they were seeing and assumed that this was normal. However, Forgotten Ruins God, Shaman God, and the rest of the Skygods sensed that something was off.

The Aeternals knew Lu Yin too well. Every last one of his stellular tribulations had been earth-shattering, so how could his Semi-Progenitor tribulation end with nothing more than a single humanoid tribulation?

However, they could see that Lu Yin's inner world had fully formed, which meant that things were over. How was that possible?

If Lu Yin’s Semi-Progenitor tribulation ended with just this, it would not explain why a stellular tribulation of the Origin Universe would cross parallel universes to appear in the Cyclic Universe.

"No, something’s wrong," Shaman God commented.

Forgotten Ruins God was staring at Lu Yin. "Little Lu Yin is not surprised…"

She then looked up at the black hole of the stellular tribulation, and her eyes flashed. "The stellular tribulation isn’t showing any sign of dissipating."

Everyone from the Sixverse Association assumed that Lu Yin had already broken through and become a Semi-Progenitor, and they were expecting the stellular tribulation to disappear.

Sage Jiang and the others were already preparing to continue their battle against Corpse God.However, not only did the black hole and the stellular tribulation not dissipate, but they actually expanded yet again.

Lu Yin took a deep breath. This was better. This was the sort of tribulation that Lu Yin knew he should face. Even if his first challenge had been a bit impressive, which of Lu Yin’s stellular tribulations had not exceeded imagination? His first stellular tribulation to become an Envoy had been against Progenitor Chen, and he had fought against the Mother Tree itself during his sixth tribulation. For his eighth, he had overcome the impossible unlimited absorption. Which of these tribulations had not shattered what people believed to be impossible?

There was no way that his Semi-Progenitor tribulation would be any different.

It was actually wonderful that the Origin Universe’s stellular tribulation had pursued Lu Yin into the Cyclic Universe, as he wanted to show the Cyclic Universe and the entire Sixverse Association how difficult cultivation was for the people of the Origin Universe and what a challenge it was for them to become Progenitors.

Regardless of what sort of talent or innate gifts others might possess, it meant nothing. No other universe would ever be capable of recreating the Heavens Sect’s glory.

Only by overcoming stellular tribulations and narrowly escaping death was it possible to achieve the greatest glory.

Lu Yin opened his lower meridian point that contained his second stellular energy vortex. He had already decided that this inner world would have space as its foundation.

Space and time were both elusive forces, to the point where some people even claimed that space and time did not exist. Regardless of whether they truly existed, Lu Yin would use the power of space to influence his stellular tribulation and discover what kind of inner world would come of it.

Spiral Domain.

Multiple lines appeared, as Lu Yin was clearly using Xu Wuwei’s Spiral Domain.

Outside of the stellular tribulation, Xu Wuwei stared on in surprise. He had never undergone a stellular tribulation himself, so what would happen when his Spiral Domain made contact with the stellular tribulation? He was eager to find out.

Everyone was focused on Lu Yin. While he was only undergoing a Semi-Progenitor tribulation, he had managed to bring the entire battle at the tea ceremony to a standstill.

Even True God Wei Yi and the Great Sovereign had stalled their battle and were waiting for Lu Yin’s tribulation to end before resuming their match.

The lines of the Spiral Domain touched the black hole, and the second stellular energy vortex emerged from Lu Yin’s lower meridian point and appeared in the open.

Blackless God’s head rose. "A second stellular energy vortex."

Forgotten Ruins God’s eyes flared, and she licked her bright red lips. "He actually has a second stellular energy vortex? No wonder, Little Lu Yin. You really are full of surprises."

Undying God’s bleary eyes opened. "Interesting."

Once the spatial lines made contact with the stellular tribulation, Lu Yin fell into a trance in which he saw familiar pictures flashing by. He saw all that had just happened: the Extreme Yin City, the fall of Evergreen Sage’s body, and Sage Yuan’s despair. He even saw Chu Jian’s arrogant behavior. All of these things had already happened, so why was Lu Yin seeing them again?

A gust of wind blew through the black hole. It felt cool and refreshing, but it was accompanied by a long river that was invisible to most eyes.

Only a handful of people could see this river, and everyone else saw nothing at all.

Ancient God's expression changed, and he blurted out, "The river of time!"

Corpse God stared at the stellular tribulation.

Undying God was instantly wide awake.

Lord Xu and Great Elder Shan Gu were both startled. This was the river of time. Clearly, Lu Yin was facing his stellular tribulation, so why had the river of time appeared to challenge him?

Only sequence powerhouses were capable of observing the river of time. For others, it was nothing more than a myth.

Even those who possessed an innate gift of time or who cultivated battle techniques to the point of influencing time would very rarely see the river of time before they reached that level.

Undying God's eyes suddenly snapped wide open. He had developed Inverse Step, which was capable of reversing time and space. He was exceptionally familiar with the power of time, and a smile appeared on his face when he saw the river of time appear. "I have touched the river of time with the power of space and lived, but if I had attempted to do that with your level of cultivation, I would have perished.”The river of time represented the past and the passing of time. It was both the past and the present, and it existed on a level that could not be comprehended.OMA's Thoughts
