He had never expected Old Chief to also strike from the shadows.
No one had predicted the conscient’s interference.
Old Chief had already guessed that Lu Yin was capable of devouring conscients’ consciousnesses. This alone made Lu Yin the greatest threat to the Consciousness Megaverse.
Seeing the manifested thought flood Lu Yin’s body, the Origin Progenitor grew anxious. He used his Verdant Arsenal to attack the old man in front of him. The line on the old man’s ruler shot to the top as he snarled, “You wish to court death?”
The Origin Progenitor watched as the old man’s hand fell. This attack was strengthened by the Origin Progenitor’s own Verdant Arsenal, and it surpassed all the previous attacks.
Yet the Origin Progenitor ignored the attack and instead released his sequence particles for the very first time.
The universe quaked as an indescribable sensation swept over the old man and continued to spread across the universe. It was like a gentle breeze blowing across the face: soft and ever so pleasant.
Despite clearly being sequence particles, no one had ever felt such a comforting law of the universe before.
This was the first time that the Origin Progenitor had used his sequence particles. He had never released them, not even in the Tianyuan Megaverse.
His sequence particles spread further out and poured into Lu Yin’s body together with the dark-gold manifested thought.
It was at that moment that the old man’s hand struck. A torrent of razor-sharp power tore into the Origin Progenitor’s body, sending him staggering and coughing blood.
Lu Yin’s eyes snapped open. The wounds that he had suffered from Wildcat’s Aid and the tower-shaped swords could be seen visibly healing. He let out a deep roar and released his inner universe. The power of karma sliced through his body. “Get out of me!”
The dark-gold manifested thought reversed direction and surged out of Lu Yin. Again in the form of a cloud, Yue Ya was blasted away.
He was badly startled. “How is this possible?”
His attention instantly turned to the Origin Progenitor.
Yue Ya was not alone, as everyone present, including Old Chief, who had attacked Lu Yin from the shadows, was staring at the Origin Progenitor.
The man’s sequence particles were anything but ordinary; they were exceptional.
Lu Yin panted as he caught his breath and glanced over. He saw how badly the Origin Progenitor was wounded.
Blood stained the old man’s lips, and yet he smiled. “Good. I made it in time.”
The Origin Progenitor’s sequence particles were the Law of the Weight of Life.
In the Tianyuan Megaverse, the Origin Progenitor had been regarded as humanity’s undisputed leader. No matter what had happened to the ancient Heavens Sect or how Lu Yin had led humanity to rise back to the peak, the Origin Progenitor’s position could never be shaken.
The Origin Progenitor had once mentioned that Lu Yin was the pillar of their megaverse, holding it up. However, that pillar’s foundation was the Origin Progenitor.
The man had developed humanity’s cultivation system, and he had led his species to rise to the top to rule the megaverse, spreading across countless parallel universes and sweeping all threats aside. The sequence particles that he had cultivated were in line with the man’s goals: to one day help humanity cast off the restraints of life and gain new life. It was a law of infinite compassion.
This law did not suit combat or slaughter, as it focused on healing.
No matter how grave Lu Yin’s wounds might be, the Origin Progenitor could heal them all.
Yet his law of the universe could not be casually revealed, as it could be transformed into something terrifying by those with dark intentions, which was precisely what was happening at the moment.
Despite still being in the form of a cloud, Yue Ya was focused solely on the Origin Progenitor. “The Doctrine of Rectitude... your heart is far too pure. Tell me, what is your obsession?”
The eyes of the old man who had been fighting against the Origin Progenitor flickered. “He cannot be allowed to continue cultivating these sequence particles, or else a terrible calamity will appear.”
Yanbo Hongli did not understand. Was this somehow more than a mere sequence technique?
Lu Yin’s heart kept dropping. Previously, he alone had been targeted, but at this moment, the Origin Progenitor had also become a target.
The old man was correct. Weight of Life was an extraordinary sequence technique. When cultivated to the pinnacle, it would transform into a Transcended Sequence. While the term was unknown to the Tianyuan Megaverse, the effect remained the same. For example, Yong Heng had cultivated his Dao Convergence to that level.
Once the Origin Progenitor cultivated his sequence particles to the point where they became a Transcended Sequence, true creation would appear.
Creation. It was a difficult word to define and an even more elusive law to comprehend. No one could predict what sort of power the Origin Progenitor would wield when he reached that level, but sequence particles that were cultivated to the limit could create miracles.
The higher one’s cultivation, the more clearly this concept was understood, and all the ancient powerhouses could sense the threat.
Just as Yue Ya said, this was the Doctrine of Rectitude.
What was the Doctrine of Rectitude?
Aboveboard and righteousness. The Origin Progenitor’s sequence particles allowed people to feel that he walked such a path of rectitude.
The Origin Progenitor trod a difficult path. He did not do so for himself, but rather to save all of humanity. At the end of his path, others could feel Immortality.
The Origin Progenitor had once told Lu Yin he could have overcome his Dukkha and stepped into the Immortal realm, but he had been schemed against and stopped in his tracks.
At that time, Lu Yin had not understood how one could overcome Dukkha.
The Spirit Nidus had a number of Dukkhans and a long, powerful history. Even so, there was no record of any method to overcome Dukkha. Despite that, the path still seemed to exist.
It was at this moment that Lu Yin understood: perhaps the Origin Progenitor truly could overcome Dukkha.
