Similar scenes were happening all around the battlefield. The Everlasting Ancestors were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, so they wanted to delay the humans and exhaust their astral sources. However, no matter what they did, the humans ignored them and focused on killing the Corpse Kings.
The Everlasting Ancestors killed the Corpse Kings quickly, but the Everlasting Ancestors didn't care about the Corpse Kings' deaths either.
"The Everlasting Ancestors are trying to stall for time," Wang Wen said. He, Shui Chuanxiao, and Wei Rong were all on the Ancestral Turtle's back, where they were the safest.
Lu Yin surveyed the battlefield. "Do you think they know about our plan?"
Wang Wen's eyes narrowed, but he didn't say anything.
"You already know the answer, right?" Lu Yin asked.
Wang Wen replied, "If they know, then it means that there's a traitor among them."
Lu Yin clenched his fists. "I've always been prepared for the worst. It all depends on whose methods are better." There was only one Sky Supporting Pillar, and all of the Half-Ancestors had rushed towards the entrance to the Starfall Sea. Only Lu Yin knew who had the Sky Supporting Pillar, and not even Elder Chan or Wang Wen. This was to prevent the Eternals from destroying the Sky Supporting Pillar.
If there was a traitor among the humans, they would definitely do everything they could to prevent the Everlasting Ancestors from rushing towards the entrance of the Starfall Sea.
Lu Yin kept a close eye on the battlefield, but he still hadn't found any clues. He hoped that the Everlasting Ancestors didn't know about this plan.
…
With the strength of a Half-Ancestor, it wouldn't be difficult for them to rush to the entrance of the Starfall Sea without a powerhouse of the same level blocking them.
In the current situation, Heavenly Master Shangsheng and the other Half-Ancestors were blocked by powerful Everlasting enemies. However, the Everlasting Ancestors were few in number, and Marquis Qing Zhu was there as well. The Forgotten Ruins God planned to stall for time, so she didn't directly confront Ni Huang and Nine Luminaries. Instead, she allowed the two Half-Ancestors to rush towards the entrance of the Starfall Sea.
In an instant, six Half-Ancestor experts rushed towards the entrance of the Starfall Sea. They were Drunkard, Ni Huang, Nine Luminaries, Xia Ji, Kui Luo, and the Inquisitor.
The Forgotten Ruins God sneered. "I don't believe that you don't care." She then raised her hand and pressed down with her palm. Her target were the cultivators from the Outerverse who had come to this battlefield. They were the cultivators from the Sixth Mainland..
Several stars crumbled under the Forgotten Ruins God's palm. In a corner of the battlefield, both the Corpse Kings of the Eternals and the cultivators of the Sixth Mainland died tragically. The most eye-catching of them all was Patriarch Eyeless.
The Eyeless Old Ancestor did not expect himself to become cannon fodder. He had no power to fight back against the Forgotten Ruins God. He could not even escape before he was killed.
The Eyeless Clan's top descendant, Xiao Bai Can, had also died. He was an arrogant person who had dared to fight against a Realmling, and he was second only to the Blackblood Realm's Realmling, Shang Rong. However, on this battlefield, he had been nothing more than cannon fodder.
Nine Brilliances saw it but did not return. Instead, it continued charging towards the entrance of the Starfall Sea.
The Forgotten Ruins Deity was astonished. "Hmph, let's see how many of you can withstand my attacks." With that, he waved his hand in another direction. Over there, the Sword Valley Master was aghast. He let out a shrill roar, "Run!"
Jian Ru looked over and saw that an Enlighter Corpse King in front of him had been beheaded. Just as Jian Ru was about to attack the other Corpse Kings, everything in front of him turned black and vanished.
In the next moment, a crack appeared in the void and swallowed all the corpses, including the Sword Valley Master, Jian Ru, and the others. All the cultivators that the Cloud Valley had sent to the battlefield disappeared in an instant.
Including the Valley Master's Sword Servant who secretly sided with Lu Yin.
The Forgotten Ruins Deity had caused great losses to the Sixth Mainland, but the Sixth Mainland's Half-Progenitors did not stop and continued to slaughter the Corpse Kings.
Under the might of a Half-Progenitor, the number of Corpse Kings on the battlefield decreased significantly.
The first to approach the entrance of the Starfall Sea was Kui Luo. The old man had just reached the entrance when he suddenly felt that something was amiss. If he continued to charge forward, he would face the Progenitors that were blocking the entrance. He could already see the indomitable figure of the Corpse God, and he immediately felt a chill run down his spine. He hurriedly stopped and gulped. "That's not right. Where are the others?
Why is it just me? "
At that moment, the head inquisitor appeared. "Let's go."
Kui Luo grinned. "What's that? Let's wait a little longer."
The head inquisitor's body was still wrapped in the black fog, but he did not hesitate and directly charged towards the entrance of the Starfall Sea.
In the distance, Lu Yin's eyes trembled.
A figure appeared at the entrance of the Starfall Sea and blocked the head inquisitor's path. The figure raised a hand and tapped lightly, causing a black rope to appear in the void and extend into the fog in an attempt to bind the head inquisitor. This was the Wang family's secret technique — Forbidden.
Lu Yin was shocked. The person blocking the head inquisitor's path was wrapped in white cloth and looked like a preserved corpse, but she actually knew the Wang family's secret technique. It was obvious that this person was a woman, and her figure was very distinct.
The black fog dissipated, revealing the head inquisitor's true body. His limbs were bound by the rope and unable to move.
This was Lu Yin's first time seeing the head inquisitor's appearance, and he was surprisingly young.
"That person should be Wang Hou, one of the Twelve Marquises," Wang Wen said.
In the previous battle, Wang Hou had appeared alone in the Outerverse and suppressed Lan Xian and the other two Half-Progenitors by herself. Her characteristics were very obvious.
The head inquisitor was bound by the forbidden technique, and a scale appeared beneath his feet to support Wang Hou. "Trial, Rule — Race."
Behind him, Kui Luo was speechless. The trial's rules were based on race, and the head inquisitor was a human. If the opponent was not human, then they would have been judged. This was too shameless.
It wasn't just Kui Luo; everyone who heard the head inquisitor's rules were stunned. These rules were better than no rules at all.
Unexpectedly, the scale didn't change at all.
The head inquisitor looked at Wang Hou. "You're human."
Wang Hou raised his hand and sent a palm flying through the void towards the head inquisitor. The head inquisitor was dazed. "The Wang family's Meditative Oblivion Technique." His surroundings turned completely dark as he used a battle technique that shattered everything, including Wang Hou's Meditative Oblivion Technique.
"Why aren't you leaving?"
The head inquisitor barked.
Kui Luo gritted his teeth and charged towards the Starfall Sea.
On the other side, Xia Ji and the Drunkard had arrived as well and were charging towards the Starfall Sea.
All of the Eternal Half-Progenitors' positions had been determined, and aside from Wang Hou, no one was blocking the path to the Starfall Sea.
Wang Hou was the only one who could block Kui Luo's group, but he was held back by the head inquisitor and was powerless to do anything.
Lu Yin watched the scene closely.
Suddenly, a figure walked out from behind Wang Hou. This person was also wrapped in white cloth and instantly blocked Xia Ji and the Drunkard's path.
"Nine Clones Technique?"
Lu Yin was shocked.
Xia Ji was even more shocked. "That's the Nine Clones Technique. How is that possible?" He stared at Wang Hou. "How do you know my Xia family's technique?"
Wang Hou did not say anything. He simply attacked the void, causing formless ripples to spread out. He had mastered the Meditative Forgetfulness Technique, and it filled the entire battlefield.
Many people were confused, not knowing what they were doing. Even Ni Huang, Elder Chan, and the others were affected, and their movements became sluggish.
The Forgotten Ruins God looked over and was shocked. "This girl's Meditative Forgetfulness Technique can actually affect me. Her innate gift is indeed extraordinary."
It was not just the Meditative Forgetfulness Technique. When Lan Xian, the Medicine Immortal, and the Blood Fiend appeared, she did not know what to do.
The five Half-Progenitors were all stunned, and Wang Hou sent out five consecutive palm strikes that forced them all back.
This scene stunned Lu Yin, as he knew that the gap between Half-Progenitors could be huge. For example, the gap between the Yao Emperor and the Medicine Immortal's trio was huge. However, he had not expected Wang Hou to suppress five Half-Progenitors on his own. That was five Half-Progenitors!
Under the mind net, Wang Hou's strength did not exceed that of someone at the eighth tribulation level, while the Medicine Immortal and the other Half-Progenitors could also display strength at the peak of the eighth tribulation level. This meant that both sides were roughly equal in strength, but they were still easily suppressed.
This was the strength of the Twelve Marquises.
A Half-Progenitor's true strength depended on their inner worlds, and Wang Hou had an advantage in this aspect. She knew the Wang and Xia family techniques, which gave her an innate advantage over the Fifth and Sixth Mainland's Half-Progenitors. If she unleashed her full strength, she might not be able to suppress five Half-Progenitors, which was not very realistic. After all, the Drunkard and Xia Ji had both broken through three stages.
Xia Ji and the other Half-Progenitors were stopped by Wang Hou, but no one stopped Kui Luo.
Kui Luo smoothly approached the entrance to the Starfall Sea.
The closer he got, the more panicked he became. He stopped once again, his expression as if he had eaten a dead fly.
Lu Yin's face sank. There were two reasons why Wang Hou had not stopped Kui Luo. First, she was certain that Kui Luo could not seal the entrance to the Starfall Sea by himself, so it would be fine to let him pass. Second, she knew of their plan and was certain that the Sky Supporting Pillar was not on Kui Luo.
Kui Luo's behavior was too obvious. The closer he got to the entrance, the more hesitant he became. There was no way that the Sky Supporting Pillar would be on him.
Kui Luo rushed to the entrance of the Starfall Sea, but he did not have the ability to seal it. When the Corpse God looked over, Kui Luo was so frightened that he immediately retreated. That was the Corpse God, one of the Seven Skygods, a true Progenitor. She was also the oldest Progenitor. Even though she seemed immobile and needed to hold the entrance, Kui Luo did not dare to approach.
"Senior Cloudshadow, have the Ancestral Turtle charge over," Lu Yin ordered.
Cloudshadow nodded and gave Lulu an order. Lulu immediately waved her glowing fruit and charged towards the Starfall Sea with the Ancestral Turtle.
Ni Huang arrived, passing by the head inquisitor and rushing towards the entrance. Wang Hou had already blocked the five Half-Progenitors, so there was no way she could stop him.
The Nine Clones technique did not mean that there would be nine clones, and it also did not mean that each clone would have the power of a Half-Progenitor. Otherwise, the Xia family would have been invincible long ago.
The Four Sides Scales understood each other very well. He had fought more than once or twice with the Nine Clones technique, so he did not care at all.
Wang Hou's body flickered, and another clone appeared. He used a strange footwork to quickly approach Ni Huang. That footwork was the Reverse Step.
Lu Yin's expression changed. Another Reverse Step? Was this footwork very common?
Ever since he had encountered Progenitor Chen's clone using the Reverse Step during the Emissary's Origin Tribulation, this was the third person he had seen using the Reverse Step. Progenitor Chen, the Undying God, and Wang Hou. What was the relationship between these three?
Wang Hou used the Reverse Step to block Ni Huang, who raised her right arm. Sinister spikes appeared on her arm, and she viciously swung it at Wang Hou.
Wang Hou's palm caused the void to explode with a bang, and his body was sent flying back.
Ni Huang was not someone the Wine Addict and the others could compare to. She was infinitely close to being a Progenitor, and was on the same level as the Twelve Marquises.
"You want to stop me with a mere clone? Dream on!" Ni Huang barked coldly and charged forward again.
Wang Hou's clone did not stop her, but instead looked at her and spoke for the first time. His voice was crisp and pleasant, completely at odds with his image. "Can you take the scepter?"
Ni Huang did not hear Wang Hou's words, and neither did the others.
