The Yuan Sage's gaze swept across the area and finally settled on the north. "Let's go." He then brought the two of them across the Astral River and into the Outerverse. They then arrived outside the Heavenly Sect, at the border with Frostwave Weave, Northcastle Weave.
Here, the three of them saw the Heavenly Sect and the ancestral tortoise beside it.
"Is that the mount you were talking about, Senior?"
One of the youths asked.
The Yuan Sage replied, "No, how can a tortoise be given to a Grand Empyrean?"
"That's true."
"Is this the Heavenly Sect in the Genesis Space?
There doesn't even seem to be a decent powerhouse. "
"It's very weak. The entire universe is weak."
The Yuan Sage looked at the Heavenly Sect in the distance. "Let's choose this place. Since the Lu family has shown up, they should bear the consequences." He then took out a set of coordinates and continued, "At the same time, this is a punishment for our disrespect." He then used the coordinates to tear through the void. On the other side of the void were pairs of scarlet vertical eyes.
At that moment, Lu Yin, who was far away in the Astral Tree Realm, suddenly felt his heart palpitate. He didn't know where this stifling feeling was coming from, but there was definitely a problem.
"Brother Xiaoxuan, I hope you can be more polite when the people from the main space arrive. After all, they helped us a lot in the war against the Eternals. We have to share their burden as well," Bai Xianer's voice rang out in Lu Yin's ears.
Lu Yin didn't care about her. His expression was solemn, and his eyes flickered as the palpitating feeling grew stronger. Something wasn't right. What was wrong?
"Lu Xiaoxuan, this is related to the bigger picture." Bai Wangyuan was speaking when Lu Yin's wireless gu suddenly vibrated. He hurriedly picked it up and saw that it was Lu Buzheng.
"The Eternals have appeared. It's a Progenitor Corpse King." Lu Buzheng sent a message before hanging up.
Lu Yin was shocked and immediately returned to the Fifth Mainland. He didn't even have time to say a word. Something had happened in the Heavenly Sect.
Why had the Eternals appeared in the Heavenly Sect?
Were they targeting him?
He had always thought that the Eternals would appear in the Starfall Sea or on the other side of the battlefield. Why had they appeared in the Fifth Mainland?
After the Eternals had been defeated, he had communicated with Mu Xie. Mu Xie was puzzled as to why the Eternals' Undead Kings had not appeared directly on the Fifth Mainland. Instead, they had attacked from behind. Mu Xie could not provide an answer.
Lu Yin had always been cautious, and the reason why he had kept rolling his die was because he hoped that he would be able to fuse into the body of an Eternal Ancestor and learn the truth. However, before he could learn the truth, the Celestial Sect was already in trouble.
Quick, quick, quick, quick …
On the fifth continent, the Above Heaven Sect was shaken. Blood dyed the starry skies.
Lu Buzheng crashed to the ground. His entire body was covered in wounds. Above his head, a pair of scarlet vertical eyes stared over. What followed was a vertical tear in the void, almost piercing through the entire Above Heaven Sect.
Behind the Ancestor Realm Corpse King were endless scarlet vertical eyes.
The cultivators in Heaven's Sky Sect were all shocked. "Why are there so many monsters?"
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
…
At the critical moment, the Blood Ancestor attacked the Ancestor Realm Corpse King. "Contact the Path Master."
The Ancestor Realm Corpse King's hair was disheveled, and it looked like an evil spirit. Its eyes were scarlet, and its body suddenly vanished as it pierced through the world and punched at the Blood Ancestor. The Blood Ancestor raised a hand and used his remaining Progenitor power to block, but the punch pierced through his chest, and he coughed up blood.
A majestic spiritual force swept out. "Let this old man leap through the Dragon's Gate." The Ancestor Realm Corpse King looked up. At some point in time, it had appeared around him.
Fish swam against the waterfall, and the Ancestor Realm Corpse King seemed to have transformed into a fish that needed to leap through the Dragon's Gate according to the rules.
At the top of the waterfall, Kui Luo gritted his teeth. "Where did this Ancestor Realm Corpse King come from?
Damn it. "
The Ancestor Realm Corpse King raised its hand and opened its palm. With a casual wave, it cut the void in two, not only including the Dragon's Gate Realm, but also the Above Heaven's Sky Sect and the entire Frostwave Weave.
The Outerverse's outer space was like a blank sheet of paper to this Ancestor Realm Corpse King.
Kui Luo retreated. "I can't stop it."
Three Yang Ancestral Qi from Lu Buzheng's body surged out. He wanted to use fate to probe for life.
The Second Nightking and the others stood in place, unable to move. They could only watch as the Ancestor Realm Corpse King wreaked havoc in the Above Heaven's Sky Sect.
In a corner, Wu Junshi was shocked. The Eternals were Eternal Sovereigns. How could such a monster have suddenly appeared?
In outer space, the Ancestral Turtle had completely retracted its head, not daring to show its face.
On the Ancestral Turtle's back, the Mavis Godtree swayed as one Corpse King after another emerged from the void. They charged towards the Ancestral Turtle, the Above Heaven's Sky Sect, and Earth.
The Ancestor Realm Corpse King crushed the Above Heaven's Sky Sect's mountain gate with one foot. It suddenly turned around and saw Elder Chan walking out of the void with a serious expression. "Your opponent is me."
…
Everything had happened too quickly. When Lu Yin returned to the Fifth Mainland and saw the Above Heaven's Sky Sect, he saw Elder Chan standing tall in outer space. He also saw the shattered mountain gate and the Eternals' corpses floating in the void.
"Senior!" Lu Yin hurried forward.
Elder Chan looked to the east. "Those Eternals came from there. There used to be a void crack there, but it's gone now."
Lu Yin scanned the Above Heaven's Sky Sect with his domain and sighed in relief. Fortunately, there hadn't been many casualties. It had only been a short time since he had learned of the Eternals' appearance, and since Elder Chan had arrived, he should be able to control the situation.
Suddenly, Lu Yin's expression changed, and he descended to the mountain gate.
Elder Chan lowered his head and sighed.
Beside the Above Heaven's Sky Sect's mountain gate, the Blood Ancestor coughed as his body had been pierced through. The Ancestor Realm Corpse King's power had destroyed his vitality, making it difficult for him to move. He had already lost his Progenitor's power, and his entire body had turned gray.
Lu Buzheng, Cai 'er, the Second Nightking, and the others were all around him.
Lu Yin landed in front of the Blood Ancestor. "Senior, how are you?"
The Blood Ancestor waved a hand. "I'm finally free."
Lu Yin's gaze was filled with sorrow.
The Blood Ancestor laughed. "Don't look at me like that. I'm not dead, I've just become an ordinary person. I'll retire here. Don't chase me away, Path Master."
"Master," Zhiyi called out softly, her eyes red.
Lu Yin asked, "Was it the Ancestor Realm Corpse King?"
Lu Buzheng spoke up from the side. "If Senior Blood Ancestor hadn't rushed forward, I would have died. Senior blocked the attack for me."
The Blood Ancestor coughed a few times. "Don't make me sound so noble. I just happened to be here, and I had to act when I encountered the Ancestor Realm Corpse King. It has nothing to do with you."
Lu Yin took a deep breath. "Senior, rest assured and recuperate here. If there's a chance in the future, I'll help you recover."
"Hehe, there's no need. One doesn't have to become an Ancestor in one's lifetime. The responsibility is too great. Of course, you're different. You already have a great responsibility to bear."
Lu Yin didn't say much to the Blood Ancestor, as he had to deal with the aftermath. Furthermore, the appearance of the Eternals was too strange. Since they had appeared, why had they retreated so quickly?
"The appearance of the Eternals this time is very unusual."
He had come to Northcastle Weave with Lu Yin to investigate the spatial tear. He spoke in a heavy tone. "I didn't even exchange blows with the Ancestor Realm Corpse King. When he discovered that I was here, he immediately retreated. It seems like he doesn't want to get involved with us."
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Since they appeared and then retreated, there's nothing strange about the surroundings."
"Actually, it feels more like they were released by someone," Elder Chan said.
Lu Yin's eyes trembled as he activated the Sirius Art and stepped onto the stars. In an instant, the entire Fifth Mainland seemed to revolve around him. He saw many planets and territories, and his gaze suddenly fixed in one direction. He had found it: Starburst.
In the distance, Yuan Sheng looked up and led the two youths away from the spot where they had been standing. The star exploded, and a terrifying force swept out in all directions, causing the void to boil.
"What a radical method." Yuan Sheng raised his head. "The Lu family is still so rude to attack a guest like this." With that, he walked towards the Above the Sky Sect.
Lu Yin deactivated the Sirius Art and headed towards the Above the Sky Sect with Elder Chan.
Finally, they met in outer space outside the Above the Sky Sect.
"Yuan Sheng." Lu Yin's expression darkened. Bai Xianer had said that someone from the main space would come, but he hadn't expected that person to appear here.
Yuan Sheng looked at Lu Yin calmly. "Child of the Lu family, you're too rude."
"Why are you here?
Is the appearance of the Eternals related to you? "
Lu Yin asked.
Yuan Sheng replied indifferently. "Since you've established the Above the Sky Sect, why do you care about a mere Progenitor of the Eternals? If they can't even stop a Progenitor Corpse King, then the Above the Sky Sect should be demolished."
Golden light bloomed above Lu Yin's head as the God Sealing Catalog appeared. Behind him, the Caged Wyrm returned to his original form and roared, "Since you admit it, then die!" He was about to attack. Elder Chan didn't hesitate either. Three ancestral qi revolved around him as he transformed into Xue Wuqing and attacked Yuan Sheng.
Yuan Sheng didn't move. In front of him, Bai Wangyuan and Wang Fan walked out, followed by Bai Xianer, Xia Zhen, and Gui Zu. "Lu Xiaoxuan, are you trying to bring disaster upon yourself by attacking?"
Lu Yin frowned. If it was just Yuan Sheng alone, then he could join forces with Elder Chan. This person wouldn't even be able to tear through space and escape. However, now that Bai Wangyuan and the others were here, things would become troublesome.
"Senior, are you alright?" Bai Xianer asked Yuan Sheng.
Yuan Sheng waved his hand. "I'm fine, but …" He looked past Bai Xianer and the others and met Lu Yin's eyes. "The Lu family is too rude."
Bai Xianer looked at Lu Yin. "Brother Lu, why did you attack Senior Yuan Sheng?"
Elder Chan replied, "He opened a path to the Eternals beside our Above Heaven Sect and caused us to suffer heavy losses. Didn't you see that?"
Bai Wangyuan looked at Yuan Sheng in surprise.
Even Bai Xianer, Xia Zhen, and Wang Fan were surprised. They hadn't expected Yuan Sheng to do such a thing.
Lu Yin had seen it too. He had thought that the Four Way Scales had cooperated with Yuan Sheng, but now it seemed like that wasn't the case.
Yuan Sheng looked indifferent. "The Above Heaven Sect represents the past glory of the Origin Space. It's not easy to bear the weight of these three words. Lu Xiaoxuan, if you want to bear the weight, then do you think it's so easy to bear the weight of the Above Heaven Sect?
Do you think it's so easy to call yourself a Path Master? "
"This is a matter of our spacetime. What does it have to do with you? It's not your place to talk nonsense," Lu Yin retorted coldly.
Yuan Sheng laughed and said arrogantly, "I can't stand it."
Three words. Only three words. This was the only reason why he had almost destroyed the Above Heaven Sect when he had just connected to the Eternals.
