Jialan's eyes flashed. "In that case, Senior Lu, please make your move."
Lu Buzheng was not one to procrastinate. If the one to receive the scepter wasn't Lu Yin, he wouldn't have even asked. Just like Sky Jialan, once a cultivator stepped onto this path, they had to be prepared for death. No one had any special privileges.
On the battlefield of Quasi Ancestors, those Envoys and even more ordinary cultivators might become cannon fodder, but on the battlefield of Ancestor Realm, how could they not?
"Attack!" Lu Buzheng shouted and stepped forward. Next to him, Hen Xin, Ni Huang, Xia De, Kui Luo, Shangsheng Heavenly Master, Old Whiteghost, and Wang Si all rushed out of the Ancestral Turtle and towards the Forgotten Ruins God.
The Forgotten Ruins Deity's eyes were cold. Although he was smiling, his face was filled with an eerie coldness. He took a step forward and wolf heads soared into the sky, covering the sky.
The first wolf head opened its mouth, covering Lu Buzheng and the other Half Martial Ancestors, biting them.
Wang Si shouted, "Grand Ancestor's Nine Wolves Devour the Heavens is extremely tyrannical, and there are ancient records of it-" "Records my ass! You're just stubbornly holding on!" Lu Buzheng interrupted her. Hennepin attacked, slicing through the void as he pushed forward. Celestial Master Highsage waved his hand, causing numerous sourceboxes to fly out and form a sourcebox array that collided with the wolf head. Ni Huang's entire body was covered in sinister barbs, and she displayed a strength that was infinitely close to the Progenitor realm.
Regardless of whether it was Ni Huang or Elder Chan, they were both powerhouses who were the closest to the Progenitor realm in this era. If the Daosource Sect had still been around, then they would have also been ranked among the Twelve Elysian Gates' Sect Masters. This was equivalent to the Twelve Elysian Gates' Sect Masters joining forces against the Wang family's esteemed Old Ancestor.
The starry skies collapsed. Even though he did not use the full power of a half-martial ancestor, the terrifying power of this collision still affected the mind network.
Lu Yin was afraid that the Thoughtnet would drag one of them away. The Forgotten Ruins Deity might be able to withstand it, but Lu Buzheng and the others might not be able to. No, it was absolutely impossible for them to withstand it since they were not Progenitors.
At this moment, Hen Xin, who was closest to the God of Forgotten Ruins, inexplicably took out a royal scepter.
Sky Jialan's eyes widened. She stared at the scepter, wanting to move it away. But in the next moment, her expression changed. How could she not be able to move it?
The scepter shattered, turning into a beam of light that pierced through Hen Xin's body. Fortunately, Hen Xin was prepared and did not place all of his hopes on Sky Blue Jialan. Otherwise, this strike would have severely wounded him once again.
Even so, he was still heavily injured.
"What's going on?" Lu Yin barked, glaring at Jialan in the sky.
Sky Calvary's expression turned ugly. "We were one step too late. The scepter was already fixed in Sect Master Scar Heart's hand the moment it appeared. Unless we were able to determine the scepter's position a step earlier, we wouldn't be able to move it."
"If I knew the location, would I have needed you to move me?"
Lu Yin shouted angrily.
Skyblue felt sullen, and he stared at Lu Yin. He wanted to retort, but he couldn't. The main reason was that he didn't understand the Void King Staff's innate gift, and he had assumed that there weren't any experts in this era. If this innate gift had come from the Forgotten Ruins Deity, then he wouldn't have been so confident.
Lu Yin watched as the Half-Martial Ancestors charged towards the wolf head with all their might. His gaze moved past the Forgotten Ruins God and landed on Wang Hou. If he did not deal with her, then all of the Half-Martial Ancestors would be killed one by one. Even Lu Buzheng would not be able to withstand more than a few attacks.
To a certain extent, Noble Plane was more threatening than the God of Oblivion.
"Let's do it again. Do we just need to know where we'll appear in advance?" Lu Buzheng shouted.
Skygem clenched her fists. "Not bad."
Lu Buzheng kept retreating while Ni Huang took over. Air currents appeared on the surface of his body and kept changing. It was the air currents that could transform into fate. He wanted to use fate to capture Wang Hou's movements and predict where the scepter would appear.
Because of Lu Buzheng, the Ancient God had been able to transform into fate.
Even if his own Half-Martial Ancestor body had collapsed, he would still be able to destroy Lu Yin. Fate could reverse the universe.
"It's me again!" Lu Buzheng shrieked. He turned around and shouted at Skygem, "It's me!"
Skygem's eyes widened as she stared at Lu Buzheng's hands.
The next moment, the space in Lu Buzheng's hands distorted, and his heart skipped a beat. He could vaguely see the scepter appear, but it suddenly disappeared and reappeared in Lu Yin's hands. He had succeeded.
Skygem heaved a sigh of relief.
In the distance, Wang Hou was astonished. Her innate gift had actually been transferred?
Lu Buzheng looked at Lu Yin nervously. Cloud Ying, Mavis, and the rest also stared at Lu Yin.
Only Kui Luo and the rest knew that Lu Yin was fine.
The scepter covered everyone's thoughts within a certain range, and the Mavis family was the closest to Lu Yin. Anyone who understood Lu Yin's life would admit that he had the potential to become a king. He was the absolute nemesis of Wang Hou's innate gift.
The scepter suddenly shone brightly, and it turned into a ray of light that rushed into Lu Yin's body.
Lu Buzheng stared at it closely. The scepter had not shattered, but instead shone brightly. What did this mean?
Skygem also stared at Lu Yin. Even a Half-Martial Ancestor could not withstand this innate gift, so how could Lu Yin break it?
When she saw that Lu Yin was still standing in his original spot, she was at a loss. What had he done?
What had Lu Yin done?
He had not done anything and had allowed the scepter to transform into a force that entered his body. This feeling was very good. The last time he had felt this way, he had said that he could kill Xia Ji with a single punch. Now, he looked at Skygem and realized that he could kill her with a single punch even without this force.
Skygem had finally found a sense of participation in the Half-Martial Ancestor battlefield, but compared to Lu Yin at this moment, she felt that she was still several levels behind.
Lu Buzheng laughed maniacally. "As expected of a descendant of my Lu family, hahahaha!" Suddenly, his face changed, and he pointed. "Over there."
He was pointing at Ni Huang. Lu Buzheng retreated, and Ni Huang and Hen Xin became the ones charging at the front. Ni Huang's aura was at its peak among the Half-Martial Ancestors present, so it was not strange for Wang Hou to target her.
Skygem hurriedly moved away, and another scepter landed in Lu Yin's hands. Lu Yin pursed his lips and allowed the scepter to transform into a ray of light that flowed into his body. This power was a bit too much. He thought about it and struck out with a palm that crossed the void to attack the wolf head. This was Wang Hou's power, and it far surpassed any attack he had ever used before.
With Lu Buzheng, Skygem, and Lu Yin working together, Wang Hou's innate gift was completely broken, and she no longer used her innate gift to attack.
The Void King Staff's innate gift was so dazzling that Lu Yin and the rest had forgotten that Wang Hou did not only have the innate gift of the Void King Staff, but also the Nine Clones Technique and the Inverse Step.
Wang Hou split into two, then three, then five. She charged into the battlefield and easily stalled Heavenly Master Shangsheng, Wang Si, and the other Half-Martial Ancestors. The Forgotten Ruins God snorted. "I don't need you to interfere. These people can't get past me."
Wang Hou's clones immediately disappeared one by one.
"I already said that I don't need you to interfere." The Forgotten Ruins God was displeased, as there was another Wang Hou clone behind her.
Wang Hou's tone was indifferent and emotionless. "That's not my clone."
The Forgotten Ruins God was stunned and suddenly turned around. She saw that the fake Wang Hou clone had already passed her and was rushing towards the entrance of the Starfall Sea.
Wang Hou had no intention of stopping him.
Only the Half-Martial Ancestor corpse king and the Half-Martial Ancestor beast tried to stop him.
"How dare you!" The Forgotten Ruins God was furious, and countless black ropes appeared in the void to bind the fake Wang Hou clone. This was a forbidden secret technique of the Wang family that she had created.
It was a secret technique that she had created.
Lu Yin stared blankly at the fake Wang Hou clone. Who was this?
All the Half-Martial Ancestors were present, and if he could deceive the Forgotten Ruins God, then he was definitely a Half-Martial Ancestor powerhouse.
The fake Wang Hou clone was bound by countless black ropes, and his body passed through them without any resistance. He left behind a black stream of energy, which was death energy.
As the death energy passed through, the person's true appearance was revealed. It was the ancient powerhouse that had followed the Ancestral Turtle all the way here.
"Zenith?"
Henxin and Lu Buzheng were astonished.
Lu Yin was astonished. It was death energy? Was this person also from the Specter Clan?
Perhaps this person was from the oldest generation of the Specter Clan.
"Even he's here," Skyblue exclaimed.
Lu Yin was curious. "Who is he?"
Skyblue replied, "Zenith, one of the leaders of the First Mainland's Tianmen Sect. He's the Grim Reaper's disciple."
"The Grim Reaper's disciple?"
Lu Yin was truly shocked. This was the first time that the Grim Reaper's existence had been proven to be from this ancient era. "The Grim Reaper has a disciple?"
Skyblue continued, "If not for his disciple, how could he have learned Death Face and deceived the Wang family's ancestor?"
In the distance, Zenith had not only deceived the Forgotten Ruins God, but he had also evaded her secret technique. He had used a strange posture to rush towards the entrance of the Starfall Sea, but the question was: what was the point of him rushing over?
Lu Yin was still puzzled when a voice rang out. Henxin had taken out the Realm Mountain, and Lu Yin waved his hand to activate the Yu Secret Art. The Realm Mountain disappeared and reappeared in Zenith's hands.
Zenith charged towards the entrance of the Starfall Sea while the Forgotten Ruins God was held back by Henxin and the others.
Wang Hou still did not make a move.
Lu Yin watched Zenith charge over and suddenly thought of something. "Be careful, there's still one of the Seven Skygods."
Lu Buzheng, Henxin, and Skyblue all looked at him with expressions of despair. There was still one more?
They were now traumatized by the Seven Skygods.
In particular, the Forgotten Ruins God's words kept echoing in their minds: "The Seven Skygods are seven treasures, and they will always surprise us." This was not a surprise, but a shock.
The people of this era could not understand how they felt when facing the Seven Skygods.
For them, not much time had passed. They had only closed their eyes and then opened them again, yet everything had changed. The originally high and mighty, revered dao masters and their clan's ancestral ancestors had all become traitors. This was something they couldn't accept.
"What's her identity?"
Skyblue could not help but ask.
Lu Yin shook his head. "This Seven Skygods is called Bai Wushen. She's the most mysterious, and no one knows her identity. However, she's definitely difficult to deal with."
As he spoke, a sourcebox array appeared in front of Zenith, and he avoided it using a strange death qi technique. Then, a second sourcebox array appeared, and he was still able to avoid it. Following that, a third, fourth, fifth, and even an eighth sourcebox array appeared, and Zenith was still unable to avoid it.
Bai Wushen's speed in setting up sourcebox arrays made even the Elysium Heavenly Master feel inferior.
Lu Yin did not understand how powerful Zenith was, but he was still only a Half-Progenitor. How could he break through Bai Wushen's blockade?
Lu Yin was anxious, as he had already lost one chance. If this continued, then Ni Huang and the others would run out of astral sources and be useless. At that time, not only would they be able to delay the Forgotten Ruins God, but they might not even be able to protect themselves. Was he going to lose a second chance?
The three leaders of the ancient twelve Elysium Heavenly Gates had taken action. The Ancient God had been destroyed, and the innate gift of a Noble had been broken. If they still failed in this situation, then there was really no chance of victory.
