Lu Yin had realized that the key to mastering Verdant Eternity lay in breaking through with Infinity and transforming it into a Progenitor’s world. If he could use Infinity to fill his inner universe, then he could turn it into Verdant Eternity.
Breaking through with Infinity had become a necessary step that could not be avoided.
In order to break through with Infinity, Lu Yin needed the right opportunity, and that opportunity was the Megalith.
Megalith possessed the greatest physical strength in the megaverse, and Lu Yin wanted to use that power to transform Infinity into a Progenitor’s world.
It was time to make use of the opportunity.
Lu Yin first needed to deliver the Time Poison to Moon Fairy. She was the only sequence powerhouse still alive from the Luna Alliance.
Yue Shen had died when Aeternus attacked with the Megalith poison, and Moon Ghost had perished during the last battle in the Second Scourge.
"I didn't expect to not find it until now. If we had found it earlier, Moon Ghost wouldn't have died," Lu Yin said as he gave the Time Poison to Moon Fairy.
Her expression was complicated. "Everything is according to fate. Thank you, Dao Monarch."
Lu Yin looked at Moon Fairy and was reminded of his fight against her while he had been posing as Ye Bo. Even after so long, Moon Fairy still had no idea that Lu Yin was also Ye Bo.
Thinking of his time as Ye Bo, Lu Yin realized that he still had no idea how to use that alias.
While the Aeternals did not know that Ye Bo had been Lu Yin, they were all trapped within the Six Paths of Reincarnation Realm. On top of that, there was no longer any divine energy outside of that barrier, which made it seem rather pointless to try to use Ye Bo’s identity for the time being.
Lu Yin then delivered Time Poison to the Earth Lord and the Ice Lord. When he arrived at the Ice Spirit Tribe’s Iceheart, he stared at it while lost in thought.
The longer two people were separated, the more a sense of unfamiliarity would grow.
Even so, it was different for Lu Yin with Ming Yan. As he stared at the Iceheart, he did not feel a sense of unfamiliarity, but rather warmth.
He knew that there was always someone who needed him, someone who supported him, someone who was waiting for his return. It was a comforting feeling.
He did not linger and quickly left.
The universe where the Megalith lay was much darker than the Fifth Mainland, likely due to how little stars there were.
The colossal Megalith lay there, filling outer space. It was a truly massive creature, and Lu Yin was about to face it.
"I don’t know why you’re here, but I’ll warn you again. Megalith’s strength is terrifying. Even your Origin Universe's Hongyan Mavis and Lu Yuan can’t compare to this thing. You need to be careful," Blackless God warned.
Lu Yuan stepped forward from behind. "Little Seven, is this your opportunity?"
Lu Yin nodded. "I’m going to use the Megalith to break through with Infinity."
"So, basically, you want to play with fire," Blackless God remarked.
Lu Yin did not hesitate and approached the Megalith.
The creature was able to devour all forms of energy, which was why no living being dared to get close. At one point in time, Great Elder Shan Gu had used one of the Infinity Empire's mechas to get close, using the Megalith to block Tian Fa.
If not for Lu Yin's scheming, Shan Gu would not have suffered any injuries from Tian Fa while staying close to the Megalith.
At the moment, Lu Yin alone stood in front of the massive beast. The Four Locks Formation still sealed his strength, which made the situation even more dangerous.
The Megalith was in a deep slumber, as if it would never wake up on its own.
The closer Lu Yin approached, the clearer the creature’s overwhelming pressure. It was a pressure that no level of cultivation could counter, and it gave him chills.
Every breath the Megalith took seemed to cause the universe itself to expand, as though the breath was about to shatter the universe.
Even something as simple as rolling over would crush space and expose the Hollow.
Thanks to the Time Poison, while Lu Yin could feel his energy being consumed, the sensation was faint and would not hinder him from what he needed to do.
He moved to the Megalith’s side and looked up at it. The creature’s body seemed to never end. It was so large that it defied comprehension.
He raised a hand and touched the Megalith. There was no sense of temperature, as the creature’s side was neither warm nor cold, though it felt as hard as stone.
It had been a long time since he had felt anything like it.
He almost felt like an ordinary person placing their hand on a towering mountain. There was a sense that the wall before him was utterly immovable.
There was a loud sound from the impact, and Lu Yin was sent flying again. This time, it was completely different from the first time, as Lu Yin was flung straight into the Hollow. He pierced multiple layers of space as he spat out blood before vanishing.
In the distance, Lu Yuan was shocked, and he turned to glare angrily at Blackless God. "You—"
Blackless God replied indifferently, "I just thought that you might hesitate. Don’t worry, he won’t die from this."
Lu Yuan gave Blackless God a dirty look before chasing after Lu Yin.
Blackless God remained where he was and did not pursue them this time.
In the distance, the Megalith thrashed about, clearly aching from the attack. It was suffering from intense pain, which was why it was rolling around.
Lu Yin was also in pain, though his pain only lasted for a moment. Right after that, he lost all sensation, as his body had gone numb.
He had no idea how far he flew. It was possible that he was still in the Hollow, or maybe back in the universe again.
"Little Seven!" A golden light erupted, and it caught Lu Yin as the soft glow of the Investiture of the Gods surrounded him.
"Little Seven, are you alright?" Lu Yuan asked anxiously.
Lu Yin coughed up a great deal of blood. His face was pale, and he was unable to even speak. He looked down at his right wrist, where one of the seals of the Four Locks Formation had broken. His strength was back.
Suddenly, he spat out more blood.
After that, Lu Yin finally caught his breath. "Ancestor, I'm fine."
Lu Yuan sighed in relief. "As long as you're fine. How do you feel?"
Lu Yin was breathing heavily. He was unable to move his body, as everything was numb. He had not felt like this for a very long time.
While he had been injured by his clashes against both Bai Xian’er and Tian Feng, those injuries were not the same as what the Megalith had inflicted.
He felt as though he had been crushed by an overwhelming power that pushed his strength to its very limit. His body had instantly recovered from Extremes Must Be Reversed, but luckily, the blow had not surpassed the limits of Extremes Must Be Reversed. If that had happened, Lu Yin’s injuries would have been far worse.
After a while, Lu Yin slowly started to move again.
The Megalith approached from the distance. Its massive eyes were locked onto Lu Yin as it was attracted to the light of the Investiture of the Gods.
"Ancestor, I'll handle this myself," Lu Yin said as he flexed his limbs, producing a crisp cracking sound. While Lu Yin had seemed to be gravely injured, the blow had not surpassed the limits of Extremes Must Be Reversed, which was why he had only needed a brief rest.
Lu Yuan glanced at Megalith. "Don't push yourself too hard."
"Don't worry," Lu Yin said with a grin. He was actually thrilled by the Megalith’s strength. This freakish power was without equal, and the Megalith’s might surpassed Ancestor Lu Yuan’s strength and even Hongyan Mavis’s. Of course, it far surpassed Lu Yin’s as well.
This was the sort of power that he craved. If he could obtain this level of strength, then things might have turned out differently during the battle in the Second Scourge. The Aeternals might not have been able to escape to the Six Paths of Reincarnation Realm. This was the greatest physical strength that existed in the megaverse.
This strength had to belong to Lu Yin. This was the transformative physical strength that he craved.
The Megalith swam through outer space, and when the golden light of the Investiture of the Gods faded, the beast stopped moving, seemingly disoriented.
Lu Yuan opened up some distance from Lu Yin.
While facing the Megalith, Lu Yin released Infinity and activated Extremes Must Be Reversed. To further increase his strength, battle force shrouded his body. "Come!"
He threw another punch at the Megalith.
This punch was completely different from any that Lu Yin had thrown at the Megalith before. There was absolutely no comparison.
The attack slammed into the Megalith’s forehead, causing the beast to let out a roar of fury. It suddenly charged at Lu Yin.
Despite the immense power of the punch, it had not harmed the Megalith at all. Instead, the Megalith’s massive form slammed into Lu Yin, sending him flying once again.
