Tearing Lady used the club's strength to chase after Hui Santong, but he was extremely fast, and Tearing Lady did not want to be shaken off.
The guardian giant roared, and everyone scattered. No one dared to face the guardian giant head on, as this was the experience passed down by the elders of the Seven Courts.
Although the guardian giant did not have any battle techniques or star energy, its physical body was extremely powerful, and it was rare in the universe. It was born with the strength to destroy planets, and the older it grew, the more terrifying its physical strength became. An adult guardian giant was enough to cause an Enlighter with a power level in the hundreds of thousands to raise their eyebrows. Otherwise, Progenitor Chen would not have allowed his avatar to absorb the giant's bloodline.
One guardian giant scattered everyone who had barged into Progenitor Chen's tomb.
In the distance, three figures inexplicably appeared. The one in the lead was Silver, and behind him were Corpse Ghost and Lu Yin, who were hidden under black robes.
"Lord Sorcerer God's Greater Spatial Teleportation is becoming more and more proficient, and it doesn't even shift our position. As long as we get the coordinates, we can teleport. As expected of a sourcebox array from True Insight," Silver sighed.
Behind him, Lu Yin's eyes were filled with an aura of death, and he was secretly shocked by Silver's words. No wonder Silver and Corpse Ghost had been able to enter the Mountain and Sea Realm, and now, they could enter Progenitor Chen's tomb.
Had they gotten the coordinates?
Did that mean that the Neohuman Alliance had obtained the coordinates of both the Mountain and Sea Realm and Progenitor Chen's tomb? Did that mean that someone was cooperating with them?
In the distance, the guardian giant was still roaring.
Silver's lips curled up. "Captain, look! That's the guardian giant. It's a branch of a certain ancient giant bloodline. Apparently, that branch was massacred by the Sixth Mainland because one of Progenitor Chen's avatars had turned into a giant."
Lu Yin did not respond. Silver had been talking to him the entire time they had arrived, and he had treated Lu Yin like a normal person.
In reality, Lu Yin was indeed a normal person, and he could remove his disguise after arriving here. However, he had not thought of how to explain this to the Seven Courts, and he also wanted to see what Silver wanted. Besides, he did not know anything about Progenitor Chen's tomb.
Oh right, is Ku Wei here?
He was looking forward to it.
…
Just as Progenitor Chen's tomb opened, the Sixth Mainland's Daosource Sect collapsed.
"Why are these monsters here?
Weren't they erased a long time ago? "
"Why are these monsters appearing in the Sixth Mainland?"
"It was the Fifth Mainland that destroyed the universe. It was the Fifth Mainland that harmed us."
"Fifth Mainland, we are irreconcilable!"
…
The color of blood spread across the entire Sixth Continent, and countless people died miserable deaths. Countless people fell into despair.
Following the collapse of the Daosource Sect, an indescribably vast power appeared along with the arrival of the Three Progenitors. This power pushed countless scarlet-eyed monsters away from the Sixth Mainland and created a barrier with the Three Progenitors as the foundation to isolate the Sixth Mainland.
The shield created by the Three Patriarchs was located above the Mara River. On one side of the shield were countless monsters with crimson eyes, and on the other side was the black hole created by the explosion of the Mountain and Sea Realm. As for the Sixth Continent, it was located within the shield.
Looking at the endless horde of monsters outside the barrier, the Martial Ancestor roared, "My Sixth Mainland shouldn't have suffered such a calamity. What's going on?
Why is this happening? "
Secret Ancestor's tone was complex. "The Fifth Mainland already had their plans. We were careless."
"We should have charged into the fifth continent's Neoverse back then and destroyed their plans!" the Blood Ancestor roared.
"It's impossible for the current Fifth Mainland to have set up such a setup. It must have been done by a Progenitor," said the Martial Ancestor.
Secret Ancestor sighed. "Only the fifth continent's Ancestor Hui would be able to set up something like this."
"A dead man dares to scheme against my Sixth Mainland? Once my Sixth Mainland survives this calamity, we'll invade the Fifth Mainland again and bathe it in blood!"
Secret Ancestor looked at the countless crimson eyes outside the barrier. Even further away, there was a power that struck fear into their hearts. That was the true calamity. Could they really withstand it?
Perhaps another tragedy was about to befall them.
Of the six continents, only the Sixth Mainland remained intact. Now, it was also about to collapse. This was the fate of humanity.
Had they done the right thing in that ancient war?
Ancestor Hui had seen through the long river of history. His unique plan had not only helped the Fifth Mainland survive this calamity, but he had also taken revenge for the invasion of the Sixth Mainland, causing the Sixth Mainland to bear the brunt of this calamity.
Although Ancestor Hui's plan had been successful, there was nothing perfect in the universe. His plan had been deviated, or perhaps it was more accurate to say that his descendants had deviated when executing it. This had led to a gap in the black hole that separated the Fifth Mainland from the Sixth Mainland.
The gap wasn't large, and it could only accommodate a few people. The Three Patriarchs had discovered it, but so had the countless monsters with crimson eyes. They roared as they charged towards the gap.
The Sixth Mainland's Three Patriarchs could have helped the Fifth Mainland block the gap, but they didn't. After all, the Fifth Mainland's calamity was better than the Sixth Mainland's.
A terrifying bloody energy swept past the barrier and headed for the gap.
This energy shocked even the Three Patriarchs. Although it hadn't reached the Progenitor realm, it was still at the level of a Half-Martial Ancestor. Combined with the monsters' unique combat techniques, it was enough to wipe out everyone in the Sixth Mainland except for the Three Patriarchs.
Just as this energy passed through the gap and descended upon the Fifth Mainland, a figure appeared and pressed down with a hand. The terrifying energy gradually dissipated before vanishing.
The Sixth Mainland's Three Patriarchs looked at the gap and saw the figure. They were in disbelief. "You … Why are you here?"
The figure blocked the gap and waved his hand, causing the countless monsters to vanish. The figure then looked at the Three Patriarchs. "Let's talk."
Back in the Neoverse, Elder Chan opened his eyes when the bloody energy descended upon the Neoverse. How could this be?
He took a step forward and vanished into the void.
Elder Chan wasn't the only one who left the Neoverse. The Holy Celestial Master from Everlasting Island, a woman from the Mavis Clan, and so on had also left. There was a total of seven people, and they all headed towards the Mara River, which was the entrance to the Starfall Sea. The gap was there.
When Elder Chan and the others arrived, they discovered that the black hole had been blocked by the barrier created by the Sixth Mainland's Three Patriarchs. They also met up with the Three Patriarchs.
Ancestral Patriarchs represented time, cultivation realms, and an end point. They were also a type of faith.
The Fifth Mainland didn't have any Progenitors, so when the Sixth Mainland invaded, a single Martial Ancestor had caused the entire Fifth Mainland to despair.
Only a Martial Ancestor could resist a Martial Ancestor.
The difference between a Half-Martial Ancestor and a Half-Martial Ancestor was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Elder Chan and the others stood quietly within the gap and looked towards the Sixth Mainland. They saw the Sixth Mainland's Three Patriarchs through space, and the Sixth Mainland's Three Patriarchs also saw them.
"We greet the Progenitors." Elder Chan and the others slowly bowed. Even though they were enemies, they still maintained their respect towards the Progenitors.
On the other side of the gap, the Martial Ancestor was shocked. "The Fifth Mainland actually has seven Half-Martial Ancestors, surpassing the Sixth Mainland. You guys have hidden your strength well."
The Blood Ancestor said, "As expected of the Fifth Mainland that once left the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. We've underestimated you."
The Secret Ancestor didn't say anything, but he couldn't hide the shock in his eyes.
The Sixth Mainland's Three Patriarchs were at the peak, and below them were the four Heavenly Imprinters. This didn't mean that the Sixth Mainland only had four Heavenly Imprinters, but there were definitely less than seven of them. Furthermore, not all Heavenly Imprinters were Half-Martial Ancestors, as Half-Martial Ancestors surpassed Heavenly Imprinters.
The Fifth Mainland had seven Half-Martial Ancestors, which meant that not only did it have more Half-Martial Ancestors, but it also had more Heavenly Imprinters than the Sixth Mainland.
"Thank you, Three Patriarchs, for blocking the gap for the Fifth Mainland. We can't thank you enough," Elder Chan and the others said. They didn't understand why the Three Patriarchs would help them when they were clearly enemies. Moreover, if the gap couldn't be blocked, the Fifth Mainland would become a hunting ground for those monsters, which would only benefit the Sixth Mainland.
The Blood Ancestor snorted. "There's no need to thank us. We have conditions."
Elder Chan said solemnly, "Please speak."
The Blood Ancestor was unwilling, but he still said, "Even with the Three Patriarchs' help, the Sixth Mainland might not be able to hold out. Thus, we need to transfer the Sixth Mainland's people to your planet."
The seven looked at each other, not surprised. This was the only explanation, as why else would the Three Patriarchs help them block the gap?
They fell silent as they considered the consequences of the Sixth Mainland's people entering the Fifth Mainland.
The Martial Ancestor coldly said, "If you agree, we can help you block the gap. If you don't, we'll withdraw our forces, and the Fifth Mainland will block the gap on its own. With your strength and the resources left behind by the Primordial Progenitor, you might be able to exhaust some of those monsters to death, which would be beneficial to us as well. Whether you agree or not, we can accept it.
Make your choice. "In the end, Elder Chan said helplessly," Alright, we agree. What do you want, Three Patriarchs? "
The Blood Ancestor said, "We won't make things difficult for you. The Outerverse is fine."
Make your choice. "Elder Chan and the others relaxed. They had been afraid that the Three Patriarchs would demand for the Innerverse, which would be troublesome. Although the Innerverse was not as important as the Neoverse, there were still some powerful sects like the Sword Sect, the Daynight clan, and the Wen family. These powers had people in the upper echelons of the Hall of Honor, and they would not be easy to deal with. However, the Outerverse was different.
"The Outerverse is huge, and it won't be easy to make room for the Sixth Mainland. Please give us some time, Three Patriarchs," Elder Chan said.
"Sure, but the gap is only so big, so it won't be quick. There's one more condition." The Martial Ancestor coldly stared at the seven. "You all have origin items on you."
The seven's expressions changed, and they subconsciously went on guard.
The Blood Ancestor sneered. "Don't panic, we won't attack you. Since we've decided to cooperate, we'll naturally cooperate. However, we're very curious. If you all have one origin item on you, we can explain that it was left behind from ancient times, but there's more than one. Furthermore, the aura is so dense, so it's obvious that it wasn't too long ago. At the very least, you obtained them after Progenitor Chen and the others died. How did you obtain them?"
The seven remained silent, and none of them spoke.
The Three Patriarchs remained silent as well.
Not long after, Elder Chan and the others helplessly made up their minds and told the Three Patriarchs a few things. The fate of the Fifth Mainland was now in the Three Patriarchs' hands, and if they were to let go, the entire Fifth Mainland would be plunged into a catastrophe. The Three Patriarchs were the ones who held the initiative, not them.
