"Enough with the nonsense. When did you find out about this?
How much do you know about the Eternals' parallel battlefields? "
The Mist Ancestor was irascible.
Wang Fan replied, "We only knew about it, but we couldn't interfere because we don't have the ability to travel between parallel spaces. Xiwei, you're from Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, so you should know how difficult it is to do so. This has nothing to do with battle power, and even the Three Realms and Six Daos from the Above Sky Sect couldn't do it. Perhaps the Primogenitor could."
Xia Shenji said, "Since ancient times, there have only been a few people who know about this, and perhaps only the Primogenitors have the ability to travel through parallel universes like the Eternals. We can't influence the battles in other parallel universes, so telling you this is meaningless."
Lu Yin replied, "How could it be meaningless? Although we don't know about the battles in other parallel spaces, it doesn't stop us from making inferences based on the Eternals' reactions. For example, four of the Seven Skygods came to save one Undying God, which means that they don't have any strength left in the other parallel battlefields. After such a long delay, they must be in a hurry to deal with the other battlefields. How is this different from me opening the entrance to the Starfall Sea to share the pressure in the Astral Tree Battlefield?"
"You're too cowardly. I already said that if we attack the new continent, they won't have the time to deal with the other parallel battlefields. This is our only chance to completely drive the Eternals out of this space. If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult in the future. Who can guarantee that there won't be any Skygods trapped in the future?"
Xia Shenji barked, "Lu Xiaoxuan, can you bear the consequences?
If this is the Eternals' plan to lure us out, then we won't have unlimited power. Even if one or two of us die, it will be a threat to this space's defenses. "
"So you want to be cowards forever?
Protect this tiny piece of land? "
Lu Yin retorted.
Bai Wangyuan sighed. "There are billions of lives in the Astral Tree Battlefield. Who will bear the consequences for them?"
"If we had this awareness, we wouldn't have gone against the Lu family," Mu Xie interrupted.
Bai Wangyuan and the others were speechless. This was human selfishness. They had succeeded, but they had also failed.
With the disappearance of the Lu Clan, the sky above them was gone. However, they had never thought about who would cover the starry sky for them. The starry sky was very dark.
Lu Yin looked up at the Ruler's Realm. "It looks like you guys won't be able to attack the New World. Since that's the case …" He controlled the Hellwyrm to head towards the battlefield at the back. "I'll take the fourth formation base and kill my way out."
There was no absolute right or wrong in such matters. If Bai Wangyuan and the others were as certain as Lu Yin that there was only one mutant left behind by the Eternals in this region of space, then they would definitely have dared to kill their way out. In fact, they would have been impatient to kill their way out so that they could surpass the Lu family. However, they could not be certain, and it was even more impossible for them to trust Lu Yin. This was because, in the depths of their hearts, Lu Yin and the Eternals were enemies.
It was normal for Lu Yin to adopt a conservative strategy since he was unsure of the Eternals' movements. Lu Yin had only dared to charge out because he was certain of the Eternals' movements. Otherwise, charging into the New World alone would be tantamount to suicide.
"It seems like Lu Xiaoxuan is really going to attack the New World," said Wang Fan. "Is he so sure that the Eternals won't be able to take care of this place?"
"If he wants to go, then let him go. He wants to prove the might of the Lu family by attacking the new continent. He won't go too far," Dragon Ancestor said.
Xia Shenji's eyes narrowed. "I actually hope that he'll go deep into the New World."
Everyone fell silent. From what they knew, the Eternals' strength was unfathomable.
Lu Yin would definitely encounter powerhouses if he went deep into the New World, such as a Progenitor realm Corpse King or the Seven Skygods. If Lu Yin died in the New World, then that would be the best outcome for them.
They would not be able to stop Lu Yin from attacking the New World.
The moment Lu Yin reached the fourth base of the battlefield, Mu Xie's voice rang out. "No matter what happens after you attack the New World, if the Fifth Mainland cannot defend the fourth base, then the previous agreement will be voided. Furthermore, you will be the one to break the agreement. The Four Sides Scale will not accommodate you for any reason. Have you thought this through?"
Lu Yin's expression turned solemn. "I know, Senior Brother. I've asked the Fog Ancestor to keep an eye on Madman Lu. Now is not the time to fall out with him, or else we might not be able to do anything to the New World. If we really do encounter a strong enemy, then I'll have to trouble Senior Brother to provide support for me."
"You're not confident?"
Mu Xie asked.
Lu Yin raised his head. "This is war."
Even though the Seven Skygods had left this region of space, that did not mean that they could not return. It was just a matter of time.
Just as Lu Yin had said to Bai Wangyuan and the others, the Seven Skygods had left in such a hurry that their battle in the parallel space was likely to be at a disadvantage. If they wanted to salvage the situation, then it would take them a long time. Thus, even if they wanted to come back, it would take at least a month or even longer. However, some things could not be absolute.
Attacking the New World was a risk, and it was a risk that they would most likely not take. However, this was war, and there was no such thing as absolute safety.
The Four Sides Scale had exiled the Lu family, and they were deeply rooted in the Astral Tree Domain. There were some risks that had to be taken if Lu Yin wanted to move them, and there were also some things that had to be done.
The five array bases had just experienced a battle to the death with the Eternals. Lu Yin rode the Caged Wyrm and arrived. Behind him, he had already found the General Appointment Platform, and it slowly floated there. Its enormous might shook the battlefield behind him.
Everyone at the five array bases looked at the Caged Wyrm. They could not see Lu Yin, but they could see its enormous body.
Lu Yin's gaze swept across the entire fourth array base. "Defend because the enemy is strong. Offense is my forte, and I've just experienced a battle with the Eternals. Let me ask you: are you afraid?"
At the fourth array base, Lu Xuanjun, the Heavenly Sin Army, the Astral Beast Army, and the cultivators and astral beasts all looked up.
"No!" someone shouted.
"No!"
"No!" More and more people shouted, and more and more astral beasts roared. They were afraid of the Caged Wyrm, but it was now on their side. Even if it bared its fangs and brandished its claws, it was incomparably tyrannical. So what? It would not attack them.
Lu Yin's gaze was icy. "You've all walked out of blood and fire. Regardless of whether we were once friends or foes, we now have a common enemy, and that is those monsters. I can tell you that they do not belong to our region of the universe. They are outsiders who want to exterminate and enslave us. We have always been at a disadvantage, but at this moment, they have been defeated and have been forced back by us. If I ask you to accompany me out of the array bases and attack the New World, will you be afraid?"
"No!" many of the cultivators shouted without hesitation.
Lu Yin stood on the Caged Wyrm's head and pointed at the other four array bases. "They don't dare, but we do. They say that we are an abandoned land, so let us open a path for them. Let them know what an abandoned land is, and that we are their ancestral land."
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
…
Everyone else.
At the four array bases, countless cultivators' faces turned green when they heard Lu Yin's words. Kuan Yan roared, Xia Yan clenched his fists, Bai Chi's gaze was gloomy, and Wang Xun stepped forward, unable to hold back his anger. They had been guarding the back of the battlefield for so many years; when had they ever been afraid?
Did they need others to open a path for them?
Even in their dreams, they wanted to attack the New World.
Elder Chan smiled bitterly. Lu Yin's words were too offensive, but he did not care.
Lu Yin's target was not the four who had fought the Eternals to the death, but rather the Four Cardinal Scales. He was mocking the Four Cardinal Scales. If he had to take this risk, then he would have to reap the rewards. Regardless of whether or not he could defeat the Eternals, his name would surpass everyone else in the Fifth Mainland and the Astral Tree Realm. He would become the beacon of hope for the future of humanity, the light that could counterattack the Eternals.
"Fifth Mainland, kill!" Lu Yin roared. The Caged Wyrm bared its fangs and brandished its claws as it charged out of the fourth array base, charging towards the New World.
Elder Chan, Hen Xin, Nine Luminaries, and the Yao Emperor all charged out, followed by Lu Xuanjun, the Heavenly Sin Army, and the Astral Beast Army. The cultivators all charged out of the fourth array base, and under the support of a half-Martial Ancestor's inner world, they headed towards the New World, a land that humans had not set foot on for decades.
This scene caused the blood of the remaining four array bases to boil. They had dreamed of setting foot on the New World. They had been able to do so when the Lu family was still around, but after their disappearance, they had thought that they would never be able to do so. They had not expected Lu Xiaoxuan's appearance to once again ignite this path. They longed to charge down and fight in the New World to reclaim the human lands.
Xia Yan immediately asked Xia Shenji for help, while Wang Xun, Bai Chi, and Kuangyan all asked the ancestors for help as they charged out of the array bases.
Bai Wangyuan and the others watched this scene with gloomy expressions. They had underestimated the significance of heading towards the New World. This was a new chapter, and it meant that humanity could counterattack. Regardless of whether Lu Xiaoxuan succeeded or failed in the end, he had won, and his name would be resplendent in history.
News of Lu Yin leading the fourth array base to the New World also spread to the top of the Astral Tree Realm. This was Kui Luo's contribution, and Lu Yin wanted to become famous. He wanted the Lu surname to become a religion once again.
It might not be of much use in the short term, but it could pave the way for the future, just like how the Fifth Pagoda had helped the Fifth Continent.
The Fifth Pagoda had played an important role in Lu Yin becoming a Dao Disciple.
There were cities and people in the New World, but they were all being transformed just like the Eternal Kingdom.
The Hellwyrm's enormous body landed on the New World, and the first thing Lu Yin saw was not the endless horde of Corpse Kings, but Greed.
He frowned and looked at the large metal pieces below the array base that were twisting and devouring the flesh of the Corpse Kings, allowing the Hellwyrm to grab them.
Greed had no intelligence, only instinct. It was not afraid of the Hellwyrm and wanted to devour its flesh, but it was easily torn apart by the Hellwyrm's claws.
"Be careful, don't mess around," Lu Yin scolded.
The Prison Flood Dragon smashed into the city closest to the array base with a boom, trampling many Corpse Kings to death. The ground was opened up, and tens of thousands of people were being transformed. Some of them seemed to have just been transported here, while others had almost been transformed.
A Corpse King tore through the void and ambushed Lu Yin, but he did not even look at it before it was smashed to pieces by the Hellwyrm's tail.
Corpse Kings had one advantage, and that was that they were not afraid of the Hellwyrm's aura.
