Chapter 2039
Lu Buzheng was horrified by what he heard from Highsage Grandmaster. "Hen Xin, you go. Given your mastery of s.p.a.ce, you’ll definitely be able to reach the pa.s.sage. Just leave these Semi-Progenitors to the rest of us."
Hen Xin nodded and asked, "How do I activate the Sky Pillar?"
Lu Yin took out Mt. Microcosms. "I won't mention the first method, as we don’t have it, but the second method is-”
He hesitated and turned to look at Lu Buzheng. "The Tri-Yang Ancestral Qi Technique."
The truth was that Lu Yin had been completely shocked when he had seen Lu Buzheng use the Tri-Yang Technique. How did someone from the Lu family possess this technique? However, this development was also what had given Lu Yin the confidence to suggest using the Sky Pillar to force Corpse G.o.d back, as otherwise, they would have had to wait for Arch-Elder Zen.
Lu Yin had not made the trip here to deal with Aeternus, but rather to simply rescue Lu Buzheng and the other ancient powerhouses. He had not expected the events to play out as they had. Lu Yin had used Mt. Microcosms to block Ancient G.o.d’s attack, and then the SkyG.o.d’s body had collapsed. If that had not happened, no one there could have stood up to Ancient G.o.d.
Lu Buzheng was similarly startled. "The Tri-Yang Ancestral Qi Technique? What's this all about?"
"This really isn’t the time to explain such things—we need to move. All you need to focus on is getting your part done. Leave the Semi-Progenitors up ahead to these guys.” Lu Yin then turned back to look at Ni Huang and the others. "It’s your turn to move."
Lu Buzheng, Hen Xin, and those with them only paid attention to Ni Huang and the others at this point in time. It was not that the ancient powerhouses had not noticed the other Semi-Progenitors, but rather that they did not care about them.
Ni Huang and the other three moved forward, still giving Lu Buzheng odd looks before glancing at each other. "We'll do our best."
Highsage Grandmaster and Kui Luo also moved out. "With six against four, we shouldn’t have any problems."
"As long as there aren’t anymore monsters with the strength of one of the ancient Dao Monarchs," Lu Buzheng countered.
They then turned and saw a giant wolf head appear in s.p.a.ce up ahead of them. It was large enough to cover everything in their field of view.
The wolf head radiated a violent and bloodthirsty aura that surged forth like a tsunami, making even Ancestor Tortoise shrink back in fear. On top of that, just like Ancient G.o.d, this wolf head was resisting the suppression of the mental network.
Lu Buzheng was stunned.
Hen Xin, Kui Luo, Ni Huang, and all the other Semi-Progenitors were similarly startled. Was there someone else also at this level of power?
Sky Garan was completely blown away. How could there be so many Semi-Progenitors who were capable of resisting a Progenitor’s suppression?
Lu Yin ground his teeth. He had forgotten that Forgotten Ruins G.o.d was one of the Semi-Progenitors standing in their path and that she was also one of the Seven SkyG.o.ds. Ancient G.o.d’s invincible power had left everyone fighting for mankind feeling completely helpless, so how could Forgotten Ruins G.o.d possibly be weak?
Even if Forgotten Ruins G.o.d was not at the same level as Ancient G.o.d who was able to cross realms to challenge Progenitors, she was still a truly ancient being.
Forgotten Ruins G.o.d's voice called out as she gave Lu Yin and the other humans a flirtatious smile. "It looks like you thought that you had won. Hehe, how cute. We Seven SkyG.o.ds are like seven treasure boxes—each one of us will constantly reveal more and more surprises as we show ourselves."
Ugly expressions appeared on the faces of Lu Yin and all the others.
Lu Buzheng's eye twitched. "Now who’s this?"
w.a.n.g Si was trembling as she stared at the ma.s.sive wolf head. "Sky-Devouring Nine Wolves! This is the vision of Sky-Devouring Nine Wolves! She is our ancestor!"
"Sky-Devouring Nine Wolves?" Lu Buzheng was surprised.
Hen Xin's expression soured even further. "That's the innate gift of the Fifth Mainland’s Progenitor. She’s the original ancestor of the w.a.n.g family who declared that she would enter seclusion forever."
Lu Buzheng was stupefied. "Is she also from the Heavens Sect era? Why are so many powerful people from that time showing up? Wasn't the w.a.n.g family’s ancestor in seclusion? How could she also betray humanity?”
At this point, the man suddenly realized something, and he turned to look at w.a.n.g Si. "Are you also from the w.a.n.g family?"
w.a.n.g Si's face grew pale. She had been completely ignorant to the fact that her family’s ancestor had joined Aeternus. She had only ever heard that one of her family’s seniors from the Daosource Sect era had betrayed humanity. That person had been the greatest Redback of the generation, yet now an even older generation had revealed herself to betray humanity.
"Hehe, so one of my descendants is here. Little girl, come here and greet your ancestor. I can help you become a Progenitor." Forgotten Ruins G.o.d smiled as she looked at w.a.n.g Si.
Lu Yin found the current situation rather awkward. w.a.n.g Si had the appearance of an old woman, but Forgotten Ruins G.o.d currently had the form of w.a.n.g Miaomiao, a beautiful woman. She looked nothing at all like an old monster who has lived for so many years, and yet that stunning woman was calling w.a.n.g Si a little girl.
"Lu Yin, what are you going to do now? Ancestor Tortoise is frozen stiff, and you can’t get by with me here." Forgotten Ruins G.o.d looked at Lu Yin and smiled at him as she spoke.
Lu Yin's heart dropped. Ancient G.o.d’s strength had demonstrated that it was completely impossible for any normal Semi-Progenitor to win against the Seven SkyG.o.ds, and even the powerhouses released from the ancient era were rendered helpless.
"Hey, tell me, aren’t there any freaks in this era? They don’t need to be comparable to the Dao Monarchs, but isn’t there at least one who’s on the same level as the wielders of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas? What about that Progenitor Hui that you mentioned?" Lu Buzheng struggled to find his words, and he sounded extremely put out.
Lu Yin arched a brow. "There were some, but they’re all gone now."
"In that case, you might as well have not said anything." Lu Buzheng felt incredibly frustrated.
Hen Xin raised a foot. "No matter what, we need to at least try. She was never a Dao Monarch, so her strength isn’t that far above ours."
Lu Buzheng sighed as he looked around the area. "The two of us will see what we can do to break through, while the rest of you do your best to hold that w.a.n.g ancestor back. Even if you can’t hold out for long, endure for as long as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Buzheng saw a scepter mysteriously appear in his hand, which left him rather confused.
"Get rid of it!" Hen Xin yelled.
Lu Yin moved and tried to take the scepter away to see if he could manipulate it, but he was too naive. The scepter dissolved into a beam of light that pierced straight through Lu Buzheng's shoulder. The man’s eyes grew large as his body tumbled back, slamming into the Mavis family’s divine tree. He stared at his bleeding shoulder in disbelief. What the h.e.l.l was that?
Lu Yin stared at the distant Marquis w.a.n.g. Her innate gift really was unbelievable. Lu Buzheng was the master of one of the ancient era’s Twelve Heavenly Gates, but not even he had been able to break free from the scepter.
Hen Xin instantly stopped the attack that he had been about to release. “She’s the one who injured me before."
Lu Buzheng held his shoulder as he stood back up. The overwhelming pain caused beads of sweat to drip down his face from him alongside his blood. "If my body was not as powerful as it is, that would have almost killed me. That Semi-Progenitor is definitely not an easy opponent."
Marquis w.a.n.g was standing behind Forgotten Ruins G.o.d. If Forgotten Ruins G.o.d’s ability to resist the mental network’s suppression was impressive, then the strength that Marquis w.a.n.g had just revealed was just as shocking.
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from ReadNovelFull.com.
Marquis w.a.n.g and the other Semi-Progenitors had no intention of proactively attacking the humans’ forces. To begin with, they knew that they could not overpower Ancestor Tortoise’s defenses. Second, there was a detail that only Lu Yin was privy to: the Aeternals were waiting for the fighting at the Perennial World’s rear battlefield to end so that reinforcements could be sent to the invasion of the Fifth Mainland. As things were, Forgotten Ruins G.o.d alone would be enough to deal with Lu Buzheng and the rest.
Ancient G.o.d’s burst of power had been terrifying, but the limits of his abilities was eliminating Lu Buzheng, as Ancient G.o.d’s Semi-Progenitor avatar was not able to withstand the necessary strength.
The Aeternals were currently trying to buy time. In contrast, the Fifth Mainland had to drive Aeternus out before the battle in the Perennial World stopped, or else they would have to deal with even more reinforcements from Aeternus.
Everyone felt stuck as they looked at Marquis w.a.n.g standing behind Forgotten Ruins G.o.d.
Lu Yin was able to ignore Marquis w.a.n.g’s innate gift, but he was not a Semi-Progenitor. He did not possess the strength needed to go up against one of the Twelve Marquises, and none of his attacks would be able to affect the Twelve Marquises in the slightest.
"There is no perfect power in the entire universe. We just need to find a way to overcome that Semi-Progenitor’s innate gift, as none of us can endure that attack if it strikes us," Hen Xin spoke softly.
An ugly expression painted w.a.n.g Si's face. Forgotten Ruins G.o.d was her family’s ancestor while Marquis w.a.n.g was another ancient powerhouse from the w.a.n.g family. Marquis w.a.n.g had been the greatest Redback in the Daosource Sect era, and she was the one who had triggered the ma.s.sive war between the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands. Her full name was w.a.n.g Xiaoyu, and during the Daosource Sect era, she had been the gatemaster of the Rainflower Heavenly Gate in the Fifth Mainland.
Furthermore, she had been Progenitor Chen’s lover.
Forgotten Ruins G.o.d and Marquis w.a.n.g stood together to block the way to the pa.s.sage to the Starfall Sea, like absolute barriers.
"I have a way to handle her," Sky Garan suddenly said. He had remained silent up to this point, and when everyone turned to look at him, he slowly explained, "I have an innate gift that allows me to transfer any attack that I encounter, and it affects even spiritual force and innate gifts. The moment any one of us comes into contact with that scepter, I can transfer it to someone else."
"You can transfer a Semi-Progenitor’s innate gift?" Lu Yin was stunned. While he had the Yu Secret Art, he was not confident that he could use it to shift Marquis w.a.n.g’s innate gift.
Those who had reached the Semi-Progenitor level seldom used secret techniques, and it was because once they reached that level, secret techniques were no longer very useful. For example, Ce w.a.n.gtian had created the Ce Secret Art just to take back his move in a game of chess.
Sky Garan smiled as he replied, "It’s simply a compet.i.tion of innate gifts. So what if she’s a Semi-Progenitor? I will one day become a Dao Monarch."
Lu Yin looked over at Lu Buzheng, but the man nodded in agreement. "You can try, but except for our Semi-Progenitors, anyone who comes into contact with that scepter will die."
"Give it to me," Lu Yin suddenly interjected.
Sky Garan and the others from the ancient era were all taken aback. "To you?"
Despite being a Dao Chosen, Sky Garan had never gotten involved in a fight between Semi-Progenitors. But in the brief interaction earlier, he had noticed how Forgotten Ruins G.o.d, who was the founder of the w.a.n.g family, had looked at Lu Yin as though he was special while ignoring him, Sky Garan. This difference had disturbed the young man, as any Dao Chosen stood far above all others from the same generation, and he was confident that he was incomparably stronger than his peers from the current era.
Sky Garan’s pride as a Dao Chosen was a motivating factor in his proposal. He refused to be compared to Lu Yin. After all, he was someone from the Heavens Sect era, and his strength was something that the people of the current era could not comprehend.
Sky Garan’s proposal was supposed to allow him to overshadow Lu Yin. As long as Marquis w.a.n.g’s innate gift was successfully transferred away from whoever was targeted, Sky Garan would claim the most outstanding achievement in this battle. So what if Lu Yin was peerless in the current era? He would soon be overthrown by Sky Garan, as there was no hiding true strength.
However, Sky Garan had never imagined that Lu Yin would actually speak up and ask for the scepter to be given to him. Did he think that he could handle such an attack?
"Do you think that you can stop a Semi-Progenitor's attack? That thing’s an innate gift—you can’t use items or equipment to stop it," Sky Garan responded indifferently, even as he carefully observed Lu Yin.
Lu Yin had felt a hint of hostility from Sky Garan earlier, but he had a.s.sumed that the man was just condescending due to his overflowing arrogance. But Sky Garan’s current tone as he asked his question made his hostility starker than ever.
"Do you know who she is, what she’s capable of, or how to deal with her attacks?" Lu Yin retorted while staring into outer s.p.a.ce.
Sky Garan was unconcerned, and he looked indifferent to such questions. "I don’t need to know any of that, as I can just transfer it."
"Are you saying that you’re going to send the scepter from a Semi-Progenitor to someone weaker?" Lu Yin frowned, his voice dropping.
Sky Garan clasped his hands behind his back. "That’s the way of things in the world of cultivators. What? Do you advocate for more kindness in this era? It’s no wonder why the Aeternals defeated you."
"Since you clearly don't care about other people's lives or deaths, there’s no reason to worry about me. Just give me the scepter," Lu Yin said as he stared at Sky Garan with open displeasure. This guy was arrogant to his very bones. While Lu Buzheng and the others from the ancient era were arrogant as well, they were arrogant because of the difference in eras while Sky Garan had clearly been arrogant his entire life.
Lu Buzheng hurriedly stepped in. "It can’t be transferred to you, as you can't handle it."
Lu Yin replied, "Don't worry, I already have."
Lu Buzheng, Hen Xin, and Sky Garan all turned to stare at Lu Yin in shock. "You’ve already dealt with it? And you’re fine?"
Lu Yin lifted his head high. "It's just a little trick."
However, as he spoke, Lu Yin glanced over at Sky Garan. If Sky Garan wanted to be arrogant, then Lu Yin must be even more arrogant than him.
