Old Xue did not know what to say. Kui Luo had helped them block an attack from the Sixth Mainland, but he was also an enemy of the Sixth Mainland. If he said anything, then the old man would join forces with the Sixth Mainland, and they would be finished.
For a moment, Old Xue fell silent.
Kui Luo looked at Old Xue, then at the medicine immortal, and finally at the Shifter Emperor. He also fell silent, and the battlefield in the Primal Zone was eerily silent.
The Shifter Emperor narrowed his eyes and stared at Kui Luo. "Are you from the Sixth Mainland?"
Kui Luo shook his head.
The Shifter Emperor frowned. "Human Domain?"
Kui Luo continued to shake his head.
The Shifter Emperor's eyes narrowed, and he said in a low voice, "I don't care who you are. This war ends here." He did not say anything about the Sixth Mainland withdrawing from the Primal Zone. They were up against three Half-Progenitors, and one of them, Kui Luo, was unfathomable. He did not have the confidence to threaten them.
Kui Luo hurriedly said, "Don't! The war will continue. This is your problem, and it has nothing to do with me. I'm just passing by. You guys continue." He then stepped through the void and charged towards Ironblood Weave.
Old Xue subconsciously wanted to chase after him.
The medicine immortal hurriedly stopped him. "Old Xue, do you want to watch me die?"
Old Xue paused, and his cold gaze swept past the medicine immortal before looking at the Shifter Emperor. If the medicine immortal was left here alone, then not only him, but all of the Sixth Mainland's cultivators would be finished. They could not stop the Shifter Emperor, but capturing that old man was of utmost importance. He stared at the Shifter Emperor. "This war ends here."
The Shifter Emperor sneered. He could tell that the old man had nothing to do with the Sixth Mainland, and he even had a grudge against the Sixth Mainland. "Withdraw from the Primal Zone, and the war will end."
Old Xue's gaze trembled, and he was about to agree, but he suddenly paused and glanced at Sword Valley Master. Sword Valley Master had just transmitted to him that they could not withdraw from the Primal Zone, at least not now.
The war between Ironblood Weave and the Primal Zone had never ended. When the Shifter Emperor said that the war between the Sixth Mainland and the Astral Beast Domain would stop, but rather the Astral Beast Domain's invasion of the Outerverse. Even if the Half-Progenitors withdrew, there would still be war in Ironblood Weave, and the Astral Beast Domain would continue to invade..
The appearance of the Demon Emperor was only the end of one war, not all wars.
Astral beasts, and the Astral Beast Domain's, and the Astral Beast Domain.
Those giant beasts were bound to return to the Astral Beast Domain from an unknown star field. If they wanted to return to the Astral Beast Domain, they had to pass through the Primal Zone. Since they controlled the Primal Zone, they could decide the life and death of those giant beasts.
This was the true meaning of controlling the Primal Zone. Otherwise, how could a mere Primal Zone be worth the risk of the Medicine Immortal?
The Shifter Emperor appeared to help Xu Qing and the other beasts return.
Those astral beasts were simply too powerful. Without them, the Astral Beast Domain's combat power would be halved. Once they were dealt with, Ironblood Weave would no longer have to worry about the Astral Beast Domain.
The Sixth Mainland had never thought of staying in the Outerverse forever, as their goal had always been the entire Fifth Mainland. Even though the Secret Progenitor's betrayal had greatly reduced their strength, they were confident that they could quickly recover.
In the future, there would definitely be a war between them and the Hall of Honor. If they could pacify Ironblood Weave, then they would have no worries about the Hall of Honor in the future. The benefits of such a move were too great.
This was related to the future strategy of the entire Sixth Mainland, so the Primal Zone could not retreat. Even if they had to retreat, they had to use Xu Qing and the other astral beasts to obtain benefits from the Astral Beast Domain.
Otherwise, this war would be nothing more than a joke to the Sixth Mainland. Not only would they be invaded by the Astral Beast Domain, but they would also lose a large portion of their eastern territory.
While Old Xue hesitated, Kui Luo had long since disappeared. Even if Old Xue tried to chase after Kui Luo, he would not be able to catch up.
"Retreat from the Primal Zone, and this war will end. Otherwise, none of you will leave this place alive," the Shifter Emperor growled as he stared at Old Xue.
Old Xue and the Medicine Immortal exchanged glances. "Can we stop him if we work together?"
"Let's try. As long as we can stop the Shifter Emperor and stall for time, Xu Qing and the other astral beasts will be ours," the Medicine Immortal said.
"Alright." Old Xue stared at the Shifter Emperor. "I've long since heard of the strength of the Celestial Beast bloodline. I really want to give it a try." With that, white lava spread throughout the heavens. The Medicine Immortal acted at the same time, causing a furnace to appear that coordinated with the white lava to crash into the Shifter Emperor.
The Shifter Emperor snorted. "You're courting death."
The clash between Half-Martial Ancestors shook the heavens and earth, and Guru Qing Hua and the rest were forced back.
On the other side, Lu Yin had also retreated from the Primal Zone. He tried to contact Kui Luo, but to no avail.
He could only contact Shui Chuanxiao and order the Great Eastern Alliance's fleet to leave Northcastle Weave and head towards the asteroid belt. The war had reached its most critical juncture, and whether or not the eastern weave could be saved would depend on this final battle.
Even though the Sword Valley Master and the others had been very polite to Lu Yin and had not asked for the eastern weave, Lu Yin still felt uneasy. He had a nagging feeling that there was something that he had not fully grasped, so he decided to stick to his original plan.
"Oh, you're here. What a coincidence!" Kui Luo's voice rang out from behind him.
The Second Nightking turned around as if he had seen a ghost. He had been able to sense the Medicine Immortal's movements before, but he had not been able to sense Kui Luo's movements at all.
Lu Yin was also startled, and when he saw that it was Kui Luo, he was speechless. "Can't you just appear normally?"
"What did you do to make you so scared?" Kui Luo teased.
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "Where did you go?"
Kui Luo replied, "I was being chased by someone. I had no choice but to lure that guy here, where I happened to see a Celestial Daemon Ancestor in action. I couldn't resist the urge to test my skills and saved a Sixth Mainland Ancestor."
"The Medicine Immortal?" Lu Yin was astonished.
"I don't know. He hasn't even broken through the third stage, so he's pretty weak. If it wasn't for me, he would have died."
Lu Yin grew serious. "Is the Demon Emperor very strong?"
Kui Luo nodded. "Very strong. After all, he's a Celestial Daemon. Even in the Ancient Fourth Mainland, the Celestial Daemon Ancestor was one of the top races. Your Lu family's ancient records state that a Progenitor appeared."
Lu Yin frowned. "The Medicine Immortal won't die without you, right?"
Kui Luo rolled his eyes. "What does that have to do with me? It's not like he's my son."
At this point, Kui Luo suddenly paused and looked towards the south. "It's so lively. Another Half-Ancestor has arrived."
Lu Yin was shocked. "Another Half-Ancestor?
Who? "
"A woman. She's very pretty, and she doesn't seem very old," Kui Luo replied.
Lu Yin immediately knew that it was Lan Xian. She was the Sixth Mainland's backup against the Demon Emperor, and the Blood Fiend had just happened to arrive at the right time. Lan Xian was the one who was supposed to join forces with the Medicine Immortal against the Demon Emperor.
The Sixth Mainland had a clearer understanding of the Demon Emperor, and they knew that the Medicine Immortal would not be able to stop the Demon Emperor by himself. However, they had still been one step too slow. If not for Kui Luo, the Medicine Immortal would have already died, and Lan Xian would not have been able to stop the Demon Emperor by herself. Now that three Half-Ancestors had joined forces, Lu Yin did not know what the outcome would be.
Soon enough, Lu Yin saw the rune lines that covered the heavens head towards the north, past Ironblood Weave. It was Lan Xian.
Kui Luo had hidden them, so Lan Xian had not discovered them.
"Can three Half-Ancestors stop the Demon Emperor?" Lu Yin asked.
Kui Luo
"Not a single one has broken through three stages. That woman isn't bad. She broke through the lower and middle finger stages, but she doesn't have an origin item to break through the wisdom stages. They'll know how big the gap is. Speaking of which, is the Sixth Mainland really that lacking in origin items?"
Lu Yin did not understand. The Fifth Mainland's Half-Ancestors all had origin items, and they had all broken through three stages. However, the Sixth Mainland, which was far more powerful than the Fifth Mainland, had almost no origin items. Even in terms of numbers, the Sixth Mainland's strongest Half-Ancestor, Nine Glories, and Nine-Three Half-Ancestor were only five origin items. It was hard to say if Nine-Three Half-Ancestors even had an origin item.
Perhaps it was really because of the Cosmic Tree. After the Origin Wheel Sacrifice, the Fifth Mainland would send people to the Cosmic Tree to search for origin items. After so many years, it was reasonable for them to be able to find a few origin items.
"The Sixth Mainland is quite interesting. This old man plans to go play around and see if there are any more secrets." Kui Luo was very excited.
The Second Nightking's eyes flashed. Was this old man the one who had spread the Sixth Mainland's secrets?
Suddenly, the way he looked at Kui Luo changed.
No one could stop a dignified Half-Ancestor from doing such disgusting things, but this Half-Ancestor seemed to be quite strong. The Sixth Mainland was out of luck.
When Lu Yin saw that Kui Luo was about to leave, he hurriedly stopped him. "There's no rush. Let's wait for a while."
"Wait for what?
To chat with you? "Kui Luo rolled his eyes.
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Speaking of which, you don't seem to be planning on breaking through to the Progenitor realm, and from what you said earlier, you've already broken through three stages. What do you want an origin item for?"
Kui Luo blinked. "You heard wrong. This old man only broke through two stages, not three."
Lu Yin was speechless, as there was nothing he could say to this old scoundrel. "Don't leave for now. This war is about to end, and I might end up facing a situation that I can't control. We might go to war, or we might achieve our goals. The Astral Beast Domain and the Sixth Mainland both have Half-Ancestors. Without you, I'm not confident."
Kui Luo was unhappy. "This old man is a free wind. I can't stay in one place for too long."
"It won't be long. It'll end soon," Lu Yin muttered as he looked towards the north.
"Troublesome."
"Right, Wang Si should have come looking for me some time ago, but she couldn't find me."
"That old woman isn't easy to deal with."
"I know. There's one more thing. I broke through to the Emissary realm."
"Nonsense. This old man can't tell?"
"There was a phenomenon after breaking through. I met the Four Way Scales' gaze, so they should have seen me."
Kui Luo paused and slowly turned to look at Lu Yin in disbelief. "Wha- what did you say?"
Lu Yin casually answered, "There was a phenomenon after breaking through to the Emissary realm that resonated with the Mother Tree. Many people in the Astral Tree Domain should have seen me. What's wrong?"
Kui Luo's jaw dropped. "You're saying that after breaking through to the Emissary realm, your phenomenon resonated with the Mother Tree?
I remember now. Were you the one who caused the Astral Source Universe to boil? "
Lu Yin nodded. "It wasn't a big deal."
Kui Luo roared, "That wasn't a big deal?
Why didn't you say so earlier?
You should have mentally prepared yourself and told me in advance. This old man almost fainted from fright. "
Lu Yin was astonished. "Was it serious?"
Kui Luo was bewildered, and he looked Lu Yin up and down as if he was looking at a monster. "Almost every Progenitor has a phenomenon after breaking through to the Emissary realm. Which one of those who can cultivate to the Progenitor realm isn't a monster?
But to be able to resonate with the Mother Tree and even make you meet the Astral Tree Domain's gaze in the wasteland … Do you think that's a small matter?
I've never heard of such a phenomenon before. No, I think I've seen it before. "
