Chapter 2030
Ancient God indifferently answered, "They’re just ants. Even if their hearts are able to break through to the Progenitor realm, they’re still nothing more than ants to me. There’s no need to explain anything to ants."
As he spoke, he pressed a hand down towards the five people. “This is the end for you. You all should have vanished long ago."
None of the five moved in the slightest. They merely watched as Ancient God\'s hand fell down, completely overwhelmed by shock.
Upon seeing that the five people were about to be killed by Ancient God, Arch-Elder Zen used his final stream of qi to protect them. The qi took on the form of a person that raised a hand in an identical manner to Ancient God, and the hand stopped Ancient God’s attack.
Boom!
The void shattered. Ancient God was astonished. Had his palm strike actually been blocked?
Arch-Elder Zen panted heavily, but he still wanted to protect these five people.
The last of Arch-Elder Zen’s three summons from the Tri-Yang Ancestral Qi Technique stood before the five people. This summon had the appearance of a powerful middle-aged man.
The man’s appearance caught even Ancient God off guard. "Lu Tianyi?"
Forgotten Ruins God exclaimed, "Lu Tianyi?"
The last summon of Arch-Elder Zen’s Tri-Yang Technique was indeed an ancestor of the Lu family: Lu Tianyi. A master of one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas.
Forgotten Ruins God was stunned. "How could you summon Lu Tianyi with your battle technique? He didn\'t die back then, and he was still alive even when four ruling powers banished the Lu family."
Ancient God was also curious. So far, nothing had fazed him, not even the appearance of the five people on the back of the astral beast. Only the appearance of Lu Tianyi’s summon had managed to surprise Ancient God.
Arch-Elder Zen gazed at Lu Tianyi\'s back as he spoke in a reverent tone. "When the Daosource Sect fell, I was ordered by the Lu family to establish the Hall of Honor, and I received the Tri-Yang Ancestral Qi Technique from senior Lu Tianyi. He not only taught me the technique, but also made sure that he would be one of my summons from the ancestral qi. I have been unwilling to use this technique for many years, as I did not want to disrespect my seniors, but I no longer have any other choice.”
Marquis Green Bamboo admiringly commented, "One of the reasons why the Lu family was banished was because their Champions’ Stage infuriated so many people. They believed that the Lu family did not even respect the dead, which offended many people. However, the Lu family would not spare themselves either. Even a majestic Progenitor was willing to allow himself to be used by an ant all the way back then. That is indeed the Lu family."
Arch-Elder Zen was a Semi-Progenitor, which meant that all of his summons from the Tri-Yang Technique were summoned as Semi-Progenitors. One of the summons was the Sixth Mainland’s Xue Wuqing, who had been a perfectly average Progenitor who had died during the first battle during the war in the Daosource Sect era. The technique’s second summon was Progenitor Hui, but unfortunately, Progenitor Hui had never excelled at battle. However, the third summon was an individual whom even Ancient God feared.
No one from the Lu family could be underestimated. Lu Tianyi had controlled one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. Even though he might not have received the inheritance of the Mountains and Seas when he had been a Semi-Progenitor, he had still possessed the various unique strengths of the Lu family, as well as their Champions’ Stage.
This was Arch-Elder Zen’s ultimate move. With the Tri-Yang Technique’s three summons, he was absolutely invincible within the Semi-Progenitor realm. Not even Ni Huang could be considered Lu TIanyi’s opponent when the powerhouse had been a Semi-Progenitor, let alone when the powerhouse worked with Progenitor Hui and Xue Wuqing.
For eons, Aeternus had not allowed anyone who had comprehended the Tri-Yang Ancestral Qi Technique to live, as they wanted to prevent the Hall of Honor from obtaining a powerhouse like Arch-Elder Zen. And yet, he had revealed that fearful power at this precise moment.
Arch-Elder Zen looked over at the five people. "I don\'t know who you are, but the Dao Monarch you mentioned has become a monster of Aeternus. It seems that he betrayed humanity and joined them. He is currently trying to exterminate all of the humans in the Fifth Mainland and enslave all the surviving humans."
"Impossible! The Dao Monarch is a Dao Monarch! How could he betray humanity? How could he betray the Origin Progenitor?" the man leading the five people shouted. As he spoke, the other four all glared at Arch-Elder Zen, unwilling to believe his words.
Arch-Elder Zen shook his head as he shrugged. It did not matter if he failed to convince these five as they would not be of much help on this battlefield.
"The Tri-Yang Technique is indeed very powerful, but how long can you endure without absorbing more stellular energy?" Ancient God asked lightly.
Arch-Elder Zen\'s eyes flickered. This was indeed his greatest weakness. Even if he was able to stand up to Ancient God, Arch-Elder Zen was unable to endure for a prolonged period of time. It was impossible for him to continuously use the Tri-Yang Technique.
"However, I don’t want to fight any longer. We’ll give you a bit of breathing space. Gather more of your experts. We would rather not hunt you down across the entire Fifth Mainland," Ancient God commented before turning around and walking away from Gods\' Origin.
Forgotten Ruins God glanced at Arch-Elder Zen and the others, flashing a smile at the, before she also left.
The departure of Aeternus’s forces allowed the Semi-Progenitors and all the other people to let out sighs of relief.
Arch-Elder Zen was left pondering. Ancient God should not be afraid of the Tri-Yang Ancestral Qi Technique… Arch-Elder Zen’s mind churned, and he turned to look at the five people. Were they the reason for the Aeternals’ retreat?
Once they were gone from Gods’ Origin, Ancient God stopped and turned to Marquis Green Bamboo. "When did this happen?"
"Just now. In an instant, a thread took an astral beast’s life," Marquis Green Bamboo solemnly reported.
Forgotten Ruins God was taken aback. "What\'s wrong?"
Marquis Green Bamboo explained, "I just received word that a thread took the life of a Semi-Progenitor astral beast."
Forgotten Ruins God was stunned. "A thread?"
Ancient God looked to the west and solemnly replied, "The power of Destiny."
Forgotten Ruins God\'s expression instantly changed. When it came to Destiny, even Ancient God needed to be absolutely serious. "Destiny still exists?"
Ancient God answered, "I don\'t know, but who else can you think of that is able to casually kill a Semi-Progenitor with just a single thread?"
"Destina!" Forgotten Ruins God blurted out, "One of the gatemasters of the Twelve Heavenly Gates. Destina was a pawn of Destiny. She wields the thread of Destiny, where one end lives while the other dies. I didn\'t expect her to also appear. She disappeared at the same time when an entire generation of the Heavens Sect was cut off. I always thought that that generation had simply died, but if they are reappearing now, then everything is going to change."
Ancient God responded indifferently, "It doesn\'t matter. They won\'t affect the overall situation."
As he spoke, he lifted his head. "As long as Progenitor Hui\'s power disappears, we can instantly take control of this mainland. Try to get that mouse to leave. His current location is unsuitable."
…
Currently, Lu Yin was not thinking about the fighting in the Neoverse at all. Rather, he was standing above Earth and staring at a middle-aged man standing in outer space in wonder.
This person had appeared very suddenly, and he had attracted everyone\'s attention the moment he appeared. His power was vast and majestic, and he carried an aura that contained the sensation of an incomparably fierce blade. He had nearly destroyed Earth the moment he had appeared, but fortunately, Kui Luo had acted and blocked the force.
The middle-aged man looked around himself with a blank expression. "Where is this?"
Lu Yin frowned and softly asked, "Is he a Semi-Progenitor?"
Kui Luo answered cautiously, "Definitely, and not some ordinary Semi-Progenitor at that. His strength is unfathomable. See?"
The old man opened his hand to reveal a streak of blood on his palm.
Kui Luo’s strength meant that not many other Semi-Progenitors could hurt him. The fact that he had not recovered yet indicated that he either did not want to, or that he was unable to.
"This guy is quite tricky, so be careful. Give your strength, you’ll be killed by a single attack," Kui Luo warned.
Highsage Grandmaster appeared in the distance, soon followed by Ni Huang and four other Semi-Progenitors. None of them wanted to see anything happen to Lu Yin at this time, as they were all hoping to follow him to the Perennial World.
The middle-aged man looked over at Ancestor Tortoise and was surprised by the sight. "The tortoise is this big? When did that happen?"
"Senior, might I be allowed to ask for your name?" Lu Yin asked.
The middle-aged man glanced at Lu Yin, but he said nothing. He glanced around and then lifted his head. "A Progenitor’s power is covering everything? What has happened to the true universe?"
Seeing as the man was not answering, Lu Yin spoke up again, "Where did you come from, Senior?"
The middle-aged man glanced back at Lu Yin for a second time, and then spoke in a hoarse voice. "I would also like to know where I came from, as well as where I am right now."
Lu Yin\'s eyes flickered. He had already guessed that this person had been released from the frozen battlefield, as it was otherwise impossible for such a powerful Semi-Progenitor to appear out of nowhere. "Senior, do you know of the Daosource Sect?"
The middle-aged man stared at Lu Yin. "You’re but a little Envoy, and yet the Semi-Progenitors allow you to speak. It would seem that you are able to make such decisions."
Lu Yin smiled. "I don’t dare be so presumptuous. It’s just that my seniors are being generous."
Kui Luo rolled his eyes. Generous? Wang Si and those others all want to kill you.
Wang Si shot a cold glare at Lu Yin. What a hypocritical little bastard!
The middle-aged man\'s aura slowly faded. "You just asked about the Daosource Sect? That is wrong. Since we are all humans, we should refer to it as Heavens Sect."
Lu Yin had no idea what that was. "Heavens Sect?"
The middle-aged man’s eyebrows rose sharply. "You don\'t know of the Heavens Sect? Then why do you know of the Daosource Sect? Wait a minute."
He glanced around, and his expression suddenly and drastically changed. "Where\'s the Mother Tree? Why can’t I see the Mother Tree?"
"Senior, this is the Fifth Mainland, but the Mother Tree has been moved elsewhere. It’s possible that you aren’t someone from my Fifth Mainland, though all the other Six Mainlands have been destroyed," Lu Yin explained softly.
The middle-aged man stared at Lu Yin in astonishment for a moment before sneering. "Boy, how dare you lie to me? The Mother Tree is gone? Five of the Six Mainlands have been destroyed? How is that possible? Who could do that?"
"The Aeternals," Highsage Grandmaster replied.
The middle-aged man sneered yet again. "They’re nothing more than a group of failed monsters, and yet you still call them the Aeternals? They\'re mere trash."
As the man spoke, his eyes became exceptionally sharp. "You can\'t be lackeys of that trash. Right, I remember now. Something didn’t feel right before that last battle started. That trash actually had the gall to provoke us. What kind of plot are you all a part of?”
Lu Yin shook his head. "Senior, please calm down. We’ll explain everything to you. This universe has completely changed."
Just as he was about to continue, he suddenly remembered that many other ancient characters would likely be appearing soon. Clearly, the people released from the frozen battlefield were ignorant of the destruction that had befallen the Six Mainlands, which was enough to prove that they had come from a long, long ago era. Lu Yin had no idea how long it would take to explain so much history to each and every one of them.
He felt a bit of a headache at this thought, but then he turned to Bai Laogui, and said, "Release the Second Nightking to have him explain."
Bai Laogui’s brow furrowed. "Explain things yourself."
Lu Yin’s voice grew cold. "He’s someone who’s lived since the Daosource Sect era when the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands fought their great war. That’s something far outside my experience."
Bai Laogui responded with a sneer before simply ignoring Lu Yin.
Lu Yin\'s eyes flashed, and he turned back to the middle-aged man. "Senior, the only person among us who can explain things to you is a man known as the Second Nightking. He has lived since the peak of the Fifth Mainland’s Daosource Sect until it fell, and then until now. Too much time has passed for the rest of us to adequately explain things to you."
The middle-aged man turned to face Bai Laogui. "No matter who you are, bring out this Second Nightking."
Bai Laogui stared back at the middle-aged man. "First, explain who you are."
The middle-aged man\'s eyes froze, and then his aura changed yet again. It felt like a long, sharp blade that pierced the sky. It spread out, enveloping Ni Huang and all the other Semi-Progenitors.
