Emperor Ni and the other Half-Progenitors searched the Genesis Court for clues about the Eternals' collusion, while Xia De kept an eye on the New Sky Corridor.
They had thought that the Fifth Mainland would rest after dealing with the Corpse Kings from the Neohuman Alliance, giving them time to think of a way to destroy the liquid.
However, the Starfall Sea changed drastically. The Corpse God, one of the Seven Skygods, had appeared, but he was not a Half-Progenitor. Instead, he was a Corpse God in his true form, just like Hei Wushen. His Progenitor's might spread throughout the universe, and he used his massive body to forcibly widen the gap between the Starfall Sea and the Fifth Mainland. The Eternals launched a large-scale attack on the Fifth Mainland.
The first to bear the brunt of the attack were the armies of the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands that had been stationed at the border of the Starfall Sea.
An endless number of Corpse Kings charged in, bringing with them slaughter and despair.
Aside from the ordinary Corpse Kings, there were no less than five Half-Progenitors. One of them was a human, while the other was an astral beast.
The appearance of five Half-Progenitor Corpse Kings overturned the situation of the Eternals in the Fifth Mainland, especially since the Corpse God was blocking the entrance to the Starfall Sea. Not even the Martial Progenitor and Blood Progenitor could break through his body. As a result, more and more Corpse Kings surged in.
Young Emperor Qing's scalp went numb. Many of these Corpse Kings were experts. In the past, they would not have feared a battle, but now that the Starsource Universe had been devoured, they had no way to replenish their astral sources. Once they ran out of astral sources, they could only wait for death.
He could not accept such a death, and he wanted to flee.
Not too far away, Xi Gu shouted, "Young Emperor Qing, fleeing in the face of battle is a traitor!"
Young Emperor Qing glared angrily at him. "You don't want to die either. Wait until the Starsource Universe recovers. Do you want us to die for nothing?"
Xi Gu roared, "This is our responsibility!" Although he had colluded with Director Cong Ying and had his own plans, as the commander of the expeditionary army, his responsibility always came first. This was also why the Board of Directors and Elder Chan had allowed him to continue as the commander. They trusted Xi Gu, and no matter what his character was, he was still the commander.
Young Emperor Qing was helpless. The Corpse King in front of him punched out, and its eyes turned gray. a Corpse King.
Young Master Qing was most afraid of encountering this kind of Corpse King. It was already difficult to deal with this kind of Corpse King, so how could she break through its defense?
With a loud bang, Qing Shaohuang was punched in the right shoulder, and his body was sent flying. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned ugly. How unlucky! The Astral Qi vortex was in his right shoulder, and he was hit by a punch. Almost a third of the Astral Qi in his body had leaked out, and he might as well use it all up. With that thought in mind, the two-headed centipede appeared and charged at the Corpse King.
The Corpse King was entangled by the Double Headed Centipede's body, and its venom pierced into its body. However, the venom was useless against the Corpse King.
Young Master Qing's Stellar Source was constantly depleting as she panted heavily.
Looking off into the distance, the expeditionary army was constantly being whittled down. The Explorers, Cruisers, and Hunters were dying one after another as they fought against the Corpse King. This was only the tip of the iceberg of the war outside the Starfall Sea. Even further away, countless imprints from the Sixth Mainland were constantly disappearing. The disappearance of one imprint represented the death of a cultivator, and spacecraft continued to explode. Technology was not very useful in this sort of war, and the explosion of a spacecraft meant that many people had died.
In the starry sky, corpses piled up like an ocean.
A grey dot pierced through the sky. This was Xi Gu's final attack. It pierced through an Emissary Corpse King's body, but it was still unable to kill it.
The Corpse King stepped forward, grabbed Xi Gu's body, and exerted force.
Xi Gu screamed as the expeditionary army cultivators rushed over, but they were still unable to save him. Without his Astral Qi, he was like a child against the Corpse King, and his body was torn in half.
Young Master Qing's eyes flickered.
His face was deathly pale.
He did not want to die here, not because he was afraid of death, but because it was not worth it.
He had cultivated for so many years, but if he died here because he did not have his Astral Qi, it would not be worth it.
The two-headed centipede screamed as its body was torn apart by the Corpse King. Young Master Qing gritted his teeth and turned to leave. He could not die here.
He wanted to leave, but the Corpse King had no intention of letting him go. Its grey eyes changed once again, and this time, it turned green. Its physical strength increased tenfold, and its speed increased at the same time. In the blink of an eye, it had arrived in front of Young Master Qing. Young Master Qing was shocked when he saw the green eyes in front of him vanish. The next moment, his abdomen was pierced through, and his head shattered as his corpse floated into the air.
The Corpse King did not hesitate to find its next target.
After the Corpse King left, Young Master Qing's head recovered. It was the Life Extending Butterfly that had died in his place. Fortunately, the Corpse King had not destroyed the Astral Qi vortex on his shoulder, so he still had the ability to escape. He had to escape from this battlefield.
Just as he stood up, his head fell off again. An unknown slash had appeared out of nowhere and pierced through the Astral Universe. Whether it was cultivators, Corpse Kings, or stars, they were all cut down. Young Master Qing was no exception.
Even though the Life Extending Butterfly had given him an extra life, Young Master Qing had still died on this battlefield.
This was only the tip of the iceberg, and countless lives had been lost. Emissaries from the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands were dying at every moment, constantly depleting the humans' strength.
Meanwhile, the Corpse Kings were still endless.
At the border of the Technocracy, Lu Yin and the rest retreated under Old Whiteghost's protection. Up ahead, Old Whiteghost was fighting two demi-ancestor Corpse Kings by himself.
This was Lu Yin's first time seeing demi-ancestor Corpse Kings outside of the Seven Skygods and the Twelve Marquises. Just how many experts did the Eternals have?
Old Whiteghost could not withstand the attacks of two demi-ancestor Corpse Kings at all. One of the Corpse Kings had already used the Green Eyes Transformation, and if it increased its power by another level, Old Whiteghost would definitely not be able to hold on.
Lu Yin had not expected the situation to develop to this point. The Eternals were invading on a large scale. Did the humans have any hope?
Ni Huang arrived, and at the same time, an astral beast appeared in the distance. Its roar caused the stars to change color, and the originally dark sky turned golden.
"Everyone, retreat!" Wang Shang barked as he led the expeditionary army from the Astral Trees back to the Technocracy.
"Elder, where are we going?"
Someone asked.
Wang Shang answered, "Return to the Astral Trees immediately."
Lu Yin was stunned, and he subconsciously asked, "What about here?"
Wang Shang glanced at him. "This is a matter for the abandoned wasteland. We can't stay here and wait for death."
Lu Yin's expression sank as he looked into the distance. Although he did not know how many Corpse Kings had entered, Elder Chan and the rest had not come to deal with the demi-ancestor Corpse Kings. They were definitely attacking somewhere else. In other words, Ni Huang and the rest were helping Elder Chan and the rest share some of the pressure from the Eternals. If they left, then this place would be in trouble.
The Sixth Mainland only had three demi-ancestors, so the Astral Beast Domain could not possibly help.
No, Ni Huang and the rest could not leave.
Wang Shang left and headed to the rear of the expeditionary army to defend against any Corpse Kings that might appear. This place was very close to the Technocracy, which was equivalent to the border. The Corpse Kings had no intention of charging into the Technocracy, so the expeditionary army was very safe.
Lu Yin took out his gadget and contacted Wang Wen.
Wang Wen shouted, "Your Highness Chesspiece, you've finally appeared. This is troublesome. I received news that the Starfall Sea has been broken, and the Eternals have invaded."
Lu Yin replied, "I know. Assemble immediately.
Gather the Great Eastern Alliance's army and return to the Blazing Mist Flowzone. "
"The army has already been assembled. It was originally meant to deal with the Astral Tree Expeditionary Army, but Wei Rong has already provoked many powers to hate the Four Cardinal Scales. Now, all our efforts have been for nothing." Wang Wen was helpless.
"How's the Fifth Pagoda?"
"I've contacted them. They're stable for now. Now, we just need to see if the Starfall Sea's border can withstand the Eternals' attack."
The possibility of that happening was not high. Since the Eternals wanted to launch a large-scale attack and had even revealed the liquid that could drain the Astral Source Universe, they would not give up so easily.
Lu Yin did not have time to chat with Wang Wen, so he immediately contacted Ming Yan. "Yan 'er, head to the Blazing Mist Flowzone immediately."
"Got it, Brother Lu," Ming Yan replied bluntly. She knew how serious the situation was. "Right, Brother Lu, there are demi-ancestors fighting over here."
Lu Yin was shocked. "Are you alright? Hurry up and leave."
"Yes, don't worry. I'm fine. I'll leave immediately."
Lu Yin ended the call. Sure enough, the Seven Skygods and the new Corpse Kings were enough to deal with the Human Domain's demi-ancestors. If Ni Huang and the rest left, then the power would not be equal. He could not let Ni Huang and the others leave.
This was a disaster for the entire human race, not just the Fifth Mainland.
If the Four Way Scales wanted to form an expeditionary force to kill him, then they would have to deal with the Eternals first.
Lu Yin sent a message to Elder Chan and Kui Luo. He then looked at the various spacecraft carrying the expeditionary force and clenched his fists. Sorry, let's all go down together!
"Fatty Wang, come and get some water," a cultivator from the Wang family shouted from afar.
The cultivators all had relaxed expressions, as they did not care about the Fifth Mainland's calamity. In fact, if Lu Yin had not fled to the Fifth Mainland, they would not even know what was in the abandoned wastelands. To them, this place was just a wasteland.
Lu Yin smiled. "Alright." He then walked over to the Wang family cultivator and poured him a cup of water.
"Not bad. Go and get us some water," the cultivator said. The spacecraft was getting closer and closer to the Technocracy.
Lu Yin said, "I'll pour a cup for the elder first."
"Oh, smart. Go ahead."
Lu Yin walked over to the Wang family elder, who was the strongest person besides Wang Shang and had the strength of a third tribulation cultivator.
The elder frowned impatiently. "No need. Move aside."
Lu Yin walked over to him. "Elder, do you hate Lu Xiaoxuan?"
Everyone looked over in surprise, not understanding why Wang Dashuai would ask such a question.
The elder looked at Lu Yin strangely as well. "Why do you ask?"
Lu Yin smiled. "That depends on how much strength I use."
"What?"
The elder did not understand. Lu Yin then disappeared and the elder fell unconscious.
Wang Shang had gone to the back to protect them. The strongest person on the spacecraft was this elder with three tribulations, but he was useless against Lu Yin and was easily knocked unconscious. Following that, Lu Yin knocked out all of the Wang family cultivators on the spacecraft and threw them into Mount Supreme.
At that moment, it began to rain on Mount Supreme, and one person after another fell down.
Wang Dashuai stared blankly at the person who had fallen in front of him. "El- Elder?"
Then, one person after another appeared above his head. They were all cultivators from the Wang family.
Liu Shaoge was stunned. Had Lu Yin gone crazy?
What was he doing?
No one understood what Lu Yin was doing, and all they could do was stare blankly at the sky.
