As Lu Yin’s time in his Timestop Space approached a year, a misalignment in his lines of strength caused his arm to break open. He reappeared in outer space and was forced to continue fighting against the Megalith even while his new wounds prevented him from getting near the beast.
He had already used up most of the Time Poison that he had obtained, and it would not last much longer.
Nonetheless, he continued to calmly roll his die.
This time, he ended up being very lucky, as his first roll was four pips. Lu Yin immediately returned to his Timestop Space, where he spent another year mapping out the interconnected nodes of strength throughout both of his arms. He called this newly developed method the Infinite Strength Realm.
The initial stages of this method were quite difficult, but the further along that Lu Yin progressed, the more skilled he became.
During the next month from the Megalith’s perspective, Lu Yin rolled Timestop three more times, which allowed him to spend nearly three years developing his Infinite Strength Realm. Finally, it covered his entire body.
The moment that he finished, endless light erupted, and Infinity’s lines of strength started constantly flickering. The light reminded Lu Yin of when he had first met Mister Mu. When his physical strength had been raised to the limit of his cultivation realm, his body had similarly lit up.
Right, Lu Yin had forgotten that, after his Semi-Progenitor breakthrough, he had never raised his physical strength to the limit again. At this moment, he had reached the Progenitor realm by transforming Dust World into a Progenitor’s world. At the same time, the Infinite Strength Realm had allowed him to reach the limits of a Progenitor’s physical strength, which was why his body was shining once again.
As he stood within his Timestop Space, Lu Yin had no idea how strong his body had become at this moment. All that he knew was that the power provided by the Infinite Strength Realm was greater than anything he had ever experienced before. This was also just the first step of the Infinite Strength Realm. The next step would be to disperse and condense his power at will; at that point, he would be able to cover his entire body with Infinity’s lines of strength at any moment to activate the Infinite Strength Realm.
The third step was to not even use the Infinite Strength Realm. As long as Lu Yin used Infinity, the Infinite Strength Realm would naturally appear, granting him endless strength and the ability to control infinite power.
These were the three steps that Lu Yin had planned out to transform his physical strength.
For the moment, what he needed to do was trigger his next breakthrough and transform Infinity into a Progenitor’s world.
Lu Yin reappeared in the Megalith’s universe. He was almost completely out of Time Poison.
Fortunately, he no longer needed the poison. He had seen through the essence of the Megalith's strength and understood it entirely. That was the end of the matter.
Off in the distance, the Megalith was staring at Lu Yin with its enormous eyes. At this moment, it felt something very familiar from Lu Yin. This was not a sensation from their numerous clashes, but rather something that came from Lu Yin’s strength. It was not anything that aroused amity, but it also did not provoke any hostility.
The Megalith felt quite confused, and it simply stared blankly at Lu Yin.
Since encountering Lu Yin, it had experienced more than in the rest of its life combined.
Far away, Lu Yuan and Garan Zhiluo were both staring at Lu Yin. His aura had changed.
Hongyan Mavis had also arrived, and she felt something strange as she looked at Lu Yin.
The entire universe was silent. No one made a sound.
Lu Yin lifted his head to stare out into the endless starry sky. Infinity’s lines of strength continued to collide with each other, and he used his inner world as a guide to break through and transform it into a Progenitor’s world.
Boom!
The universe exploded with a deafening sound that startled the Megalith. It eyed Lu Yin warily, unsure of what was happening. All the beast knew was that Lu Yin had suddenly started to give off an extraordinary threatening feeling.
Further away, Lu Yuan, Hongyan Mavis, and Garan Zhiluo all watched with widening eyes. Was Lu Yin about to have another breakthrough?
"Hasn’t he already broken through and become a Progenitor?" Garan Zhiluo felt incredibly confused.
Lu Yuan grinned as he let out a proud laugh. "Little Seven has four inner worlds!"
Garan Zhiluo's mouth fell open in shock. Was that even possible?
Hongyan Mavis just stared at Lu Yin. This breakthrough was to raise Infinity into a Progenitor’s world, which would transform Lu Yin’s physical strength. Suddenly, the woman remembered why the feeling that she had from Lu Yin felt so familiar; it was very similar to a certain creature, and that creature was... �
"Pridebeast?" Hongyan Mavis stared blankly at a gorilla-like creature that seemed to have a metal body which had just emerged from the void.
The creature that gave off the same feeling as Lu Yin was indeed the Pridebeast.
The gorilla’s enormous eyes locked onto Lu Yin. As far as the Pridebeast was concerned, it was the strongest creature in the entire megaverse, which made Lu Yin its prey.
However, the gorilla had clearly forgotten about the Megalith.
The Megalith had not left with the rest of the beasts, and instead, it simply stared at the gorilla. The Megalith felt something familiar: intimidation.
Yes, this beast was intimidating.
Once, the Megalith had similarly intimidated all the other creatures of its own megaverse in the same manner. This scene was all too familiar to the beast.
Lu Yin focused on the gorilla, sensing the beast’s overwhelming desire to fight. This creature wanted to test its strength against Lu Yin’s.
Just as the gorilla was about to charge forward, Lu Yin raised a hand and pointed at the Megalith. "There's another one."
The gorilla turned its head and noticed the Megalith.
The creature was enormous, but it was also not from the same megaverse. The gorilla had not noticed the Megalith at first, as it had simply assumed the Megalith would flee like all the other beasts. Only when Lu Yin pointed the Megalith out did the Pridebeast realize its mistake.
Suddenly, the gorilla grew furious, and it turned to roar at the Megalith.
The Megalith’s tail twitched as it roared back.
The gorilla's intimidation attempt had angered the Megalith.
At that moment, the two titanic creatures roared at each other across the universe, both of them completely forgetting about Lu Yin.
Lu Yin let out a breath as the lines of strength from Infinity continued to envelop his entire body, enhancing the power of his Infinite Strength Realm. From a distance, it looked as though Lu Yin’s body was being pierced by countless lines of strength as his body released a brilliant light. He seemed transcendent, and he gave off a powerful, otherworldly feeling.
Far away, Hongyan Mavis stared at Lu Yin. His aura was becoming more and more the Pridebeast’s. Their strength seemed identical.
The radiance from Lu Yin's body grew even more dazzling. He was like a bright lamp that illuminated the darkness in the depths of the universe.
The standoff between the Megalith and the Pridebeast reached its peak, and both creatures moved simultaneously, charging at the other.
Boom!
A deafening explosion followed, and the universe shattered at the point of impact. Layer after layer of the void was shattered by the collision between two massive forces, and the aftershocks even reached Lu Yuan and the others.
As the shockwave swept past them, Garan Zhiluo felt as though an invisible force was pushing her back.
The fact that she could feel something pushing her indicated the terrifying levels of strength involved in the clash, as this was merely the shockwave.
The Hollow appeared, enveloping a larger and larger area. It seemed to appear almost casually as the Megalith and the Pridebeast forgot about everything around them as they fought, including Lu Yin. The two creatures were fighting for supremacy, for who would rule as the supreme strength in the megaverse.
One thunderous explosion followed another as the two creatures collided. The universe shattered like a broken mirror, the broken fragments growing denser. The two massive beasts occasionally disappeared into the Hollow, and even when they reappeared, it was almost impossible to make out their entire forms due to the presence of the Hollow across the entire battlefield.
"I never thought that there would be a creature in this megaverse that had the strength to compare to the Pridebeast," Hongyan Mavis marveled.
Lu Yuan replied, "This isn’t just strength. If the Pridebeast only had strength, it would lose. The Megalith can absorb energy and power."
