Once the Eternals are defeated, we'll find a way to lure you away and prevent you from appearing at the Starfall Sea's entrance. At the same time, we'll use up your astral sources. Just like in the beginning, there were battles everywhere in the Outerverse, Innerverse, Cosmic Sea, and Neoverse, which is very disadvantageous for our Fifth Mainland. We don't need to completely surround the battlefield, so we'll split into three directions … "Lu Yin explained the entire plan. It wasn't complicated, but if the Eternals didn't follow the plan, they would be easily dragged away by the Eternals.
The Eternals hoped to disperse the Half-Ancestors so that they wouldn't affect the battle at the Starfall Sea's entrance.
Wang Wen and the others had already seen this, so they had to surround the Starfall Sea's entrance.
…
Half a day later, all of the Half-Ancestors left, leaving only Kui Luo behind. Even Ni Huang and the other three Half-Ancestors had gone to the Neoverse to obtain a great world and bring it to the Outerverse. The Sixth Mainland had been destroyed, and they had come to the Fifth Mainland's Outerverse. There weren't any great worlds, and with the Eternals' endless numbers, there had to be a lot of cultivators.
"Do you believe that we can win this battle?"
Kui Luo asked.
Lu Yin shook his head. "We can't win with our current strength." He then looked into the distance. "This is an extremely rare opportunity for the Eternals. The Fifth Mainland's astral source universe has been absorbed, and these Half-Ancestors are getting weaker and weaker. If we don't take this opportunity to occupy the Fifth Mainland, then we'll be letting down their many years of planning. They definitely have something else up their sleeves."
"Then why are we still fighting?" Kui Luo asked in a low voice.
Lu Yin's expression was solemn. "We have to fight. If we don't, the humans will definitely lose. If we fight, we still have a chance, even if it's very slim. Perhaps the Astral Tree Domain will exert more pressure on the New Mainland and the Twelve Marquises, forcing the Seven Skygods and the Twelve Marquises to return. Perhaps the lockbreaking of that place will bring about some changes, but no one can say for sure. Or perhaps Burial Garden will appear, and Progenitor Chen is still alive. If we don't fight, we won't even have a chance."
Kui Luo sighed. "If you bring all of your current strength to the Astral Tree Domain, then you might be able to survive there."
Lu Yin was amused. "Are you saying that my current strength is enough to fight against a Progenitor?"
Kui Luo fell silent. No matter how much power Lu Yin had, he would always be an ant unless he reached the Progenitor realm. Once he went to the Cosmic Tree Realm, he would no longer be facing a Half-Ancestor, but a Progenitor. Even if Elder Chan and the other Half-Ancestors all supported him, it would be useless.
The Fifth Mainland could still bear the surname Lu, but the Lu Family no longer had a place to live in the Starry Sky Tree.
Over the next few days, Lu Yin brought all the people he valued into Mount Supreme, such as Wang Wen, Wei Rong, and the others. In just a single day, the Ross Empire's stronghold was emptied, leaving only the people who had originally lived there.
If possible, Lu Yin wanted to bring everyone with him, but he didn't have the ability. Mount Supreme was huge, but he couldn't bring everyone with him.
What he wanted to do was fight. Once he lost, he could immediately take everyone to Jupiter, leave the Fifth Mainland through Jupiter, and hide in the Starry Sky of Trees.
This was the final solution.
After clearing out the Ross Empire's strongholds, the next target would be Zenyu Star, and finally, Earth. The people that Lu Yin valued were all in these places.
Other than the captain of Leon's Armada, the rest of the members were also inside Mount Supreme. However, they were all going to participate in the final battle, and none of them could escape. This was not just a matter of a few individuals, but the entire human race, and the Astral Combat Academy was no exception.
。
The next day, Lu Yin received a notification that he could leave for the Western Flowzone, and he rode on the Ancestral Turtle.
Almost all of the Mavis Family's members were participating in the battle.
"Aren't you afraid that you'll all be wiped out?"
Kui Luo asked Cloudshadow Mavis curiously.
Cloudshadow frowned. This old man's words were really unpleasant. "The Ancestral Turtle can protect us."
"Then protect this old man as well," Kui Luo tried to curry favor with her.
Cloudshadow Mavis kept a distance from him. How could there be such a shameless Half-Ancestor?
Lu Yin's expression was calm. The outcome of this battle would determine the ownership of the Fifth Mainland, so he should be very nervous. However, he was abnormally calm. After experiencing life and death, everything was different.
The Ancestral Turtle dragged the Great Eastern Alliance's army and quickly headed towards the Western Flowzone of the Innerverse.
In the Outerverse, the Nine Luminaries and the other three Half-Ancestors led their worlds towards the Starfall Sea.
In the Neoverse, Elder Chan and the others also led their worlds towards the Starfall Sea.
At the entrance to the Starfall Sea, the battle between the Eternals and the mechanical ants was nearing its end. The skies were filled with corpses and mechanical fragments.
Marquis Wuyi was still trapped in the mind net. Aside from him, several other Corpse Kings were also trapped. They were all test subjects used to test the limits of the mind net. In the end, the Eternals concluded that the weakest attack that the mind net could detect was at least the power level of an eighth Origin Tribulation cultivator. As long as the attack did not exceed that level, the mind net would not be able to trap it.
However, once the power level of an eighth Origin Tribulation cultivator exceeded that level, they would definitely be trapped.
A Half-Ancestor definitely could not use their inner world. The inner world was the embodiment of a Half-Ancestor's power level, and it was also the materialization of everything that a Half-Ancestor had cultivated to this point. As long as the inner world was used, it would definitely exceed the power level of an eighth Origin Tribulation cultivator and would immediately be trapped.
…
This was a day that would be recorded in the annals of human history. Of course, the prerequisite was that the humans of the Fifth Mainland would continue to exist.
From the Neoverse, in the direction of the Innerverse and Outerverse, fifteen Half-Ancestor experts led countless cultivators to the entrance of the Starfall Sea to fight the Eternals. This was a war without strategy. There was no other choice but to fight to the death.
In the north, around the Nine Luminaries, countless cultivators walked out from their macro worlds. Guru Qing Hua, Ancestor Wu Mu, Old Nong, Master of Sword Valley, Three-inch Grandmaster, Ancestor Lingtong, and many others were familiar faces. Most of them were enemies, but now, facing the invasion of the Eternals, they all rushed to the battlefield. No one hesitated. Even Fan Shun, the Qing Hua Duo, and the other juniors rushed to the battlefield to fight the corpse king.
Imprints lit up the sky as bright as day. Countless roars accompanied the ancient music of the Lan Xian Three Mysterious reached its peak.
In the south, Presiding Judge Mu En, Yang Ji, Yan Zhu, and Sirius Sect's Elder Yao Shan and Elder Yuan Ke also rushed to the battlefield without hesitation. They faced the powerful Corpse Kings and their countless scarlet eyes.
"Come, brats!" Highsage Wudi roared at the sky. He was as domineering as he had been at the Realm Mountain.
Highsage Shen Wei's expression was still as Highsage Leon's Tyrannical Blade slashed down beside him.
After that, black and white lights wreaked havoc on the battlefield, killing Corpse Kings one after another. It was Little Black and Xiao Bai.
On the other side, the experts of the Seven Courts walked out one after another. Hui Kong looked to the west with a complicated expression, and his eyes reddened. He had found his answer; the Technocracy was not the human race's enemy. That was a backup plan that the Hui Ancestor had left behind for the Eternals.
This was the Hui Ancestor's strength.
He had not been wrong, as how could the Ancestor be the human race's enemy?
Lu Yin stood on the Ancestral Turtle's back and looked at the entrance to the Starfall Sea. Experts rushed out one after another, and the Great Eastern Alliance's thousands of warships bombarded them. However, a pair of scarlet eyes that had transformed into green pupils were reduced to ashes, just like the tens of millions of cultivators who had been guarding the entrance to the Starfall Sea.
Numbers did not mean much against experts.
Liu Huang, Liu Qianjue, Wen Zizai, and the other leaders of the Eight Great Flowzones all rushed out, including Yi Huang Academy's Dean Han and the other deans from the Astral Combat Academy. They all stood at the edge of the cliff, as this battle was humanity's last hope.
When he saw that the warships had suffered heavy losses, Shui Chuanxiao immediately ordered all of the warships to retreat. Among the human cultivators, those who had reached the Explorer realm fought in outer space, while those who had yet to reach the Explorer realm fought on the planets. Slaughter became the only theme in this part of space.
The Ancestral Turtle continued to charge towards the battlefield, and none of the Corpse Kings were able to step onto its back. Although no one knew exactly how powerful the Ancestral Turtle was, just its charge alone was enough to cause the Eternals to suffer heavy losses. In particular, a half-ancestor Corpse King crashed into the Ancestral Turtle's back and was sent flying. This caused everyone to cheer.
Lu Yin heaved a sigh of relief. Although the Eternals had the advantage in numbers, the Seven Skygods were unable to display a strength that far surpassed Xia Ji and the others under the mind net. As long as they could quickly deal with the Eternals' half-ancestor, this battle was still feasible.
"Ancestral Turtle, charge! Smash him to death!" Lulu shouted, and the glowing fruit of the godtree changed direction. The Ancestral Turtle's head abruptly changed direction and coincidentally crashed into Marquis Qing Zhu. Unknowingly, they had rushed to the battlefield where Ni Huang and Marquis Qing Zhu were fighting.
Marquis Qing Zhu hurriedly dodged and was shocked. "Is this … that pet from the Lu family?"
"Long time no see, Marquis Qing Zhu!"
Marquis Qing Zhu looked at Lu Yin. "It's you?
You're a remnant of the Lu family. "
Lu Yin sneered. "Lulu, have the Ancestral Turtle ram into him."
"Alright, ram!" Lulu controlled the glowing fruit. The Ancestral Turtle only had eyes for that fruit, and it didn't care about Marquis Qing Zhu at all.
Marquis Qing Zhu was helpless, and he hurriedly dodged.
"You won't be able to escape," Ni Huang said as she raised her hand. Her arm transformed into a strange claw as it swiped towards Marquis Qing Zhu. Marquis Qing Zhu said helplessly, "It seems like you're planning to end this quickly. Smart, but you humans have a weakness, and that is your emotions. I'll go and slaughter those cultivators from the Starry Sky of the Trees. Let's see if you can handle it."
Ni Huang's expression changed, and she ignored him. This was the reason why Lu Yin had emphasized that he had to be clear about his goal. If he chased after Marquis Qing Zhu, not only would he not be able to determine the victor quickly, but he would also exhaust his astral source and ultimately lose. This was Marquis Qing Zhu's goal.
Lu Yin could only allow Qing Zhu to slaughter a portion of the cultivators while he focused on charging towards the entrance of the Starfall Sea and killing the Corpse Kings.
It didn't matter if all the cultivators on this battlefield died. As long as he could exterminate the Corpse Kings, he would be able to defend the Fifth Mainland, and the humans would be able to continue developing, just like when the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands had fought.
Ni Huang suddenly felt grateful that Lu Yin had kept the important people locked up in Mount Supreme. Otherwise, they would have died as well.
Marquis Qing Zhu wasn't a threat, and he found a corner of the battlefield. With a wave of his hand, a group of cultivators from the Astral Trees were pierced by Qing Zhu, dying miserable deaths.
He turned around and saw that Ni Huang hadn't chased after him. He felt helpless. "Looks like it won't be easy."
