It was not the captain of the True God Guards who had attacked the Third Battle Group. Instead, it was Divine Sovereign Shaoyin, an inhuman, five ordinary Progenitor Realm corpse kings, and countless other corpse kings.
After Lu Yin left with Caged Wyrm, only Xu Wuwei, Xu Heng, Xu Leng, and Bai Sheng remained in the Third Battle Group. Although it seemed like a lot, they were still in danger when faced with the attack of seven Progenitors from the Eternals.
In a parallel space-time, humans and Corpse Kings fought, causing the starry sky to overturn.
Reverend God Shaoyin sneered, "Does the son of the Lu Clan really think that the Endless Battlefield is a place where he can do as he pleases? Xu Wuwei, if you want to blame someone, blame him. He is the one who caused your death."
The scorching power of the Great Yang burned the stars. The Great Yang was the Great Yang, and the Great Yang was the Great Yang. It seemed like the Great Yang was nourishing the Great Yang, but in reality, the Great Yang was nourishing the Great Yang. It broke through the Yin and entered the Great Yang, and the Great Yang and the Great Yang merged.
Xu Wuwei's face was solemn. Facing Divine Venerable Shaoyin's power of the sun, he could only disperse it with Tai Xuan. "Divine Venerable Shaoyin, you actually cultivate the power of the sun?
Everyone was deceived by you, but you should have been stripped of your power by the Grand Empyrean. "
"Old thing, I've long found you an eyesore. Back then, you wanted to join forces with the Lu Clan to trick me. Today, I'll make you pay the price. Die with unwillingness."
Not only did Shaoyin Divinity use the power of the sun sequence law to fight against Xu Wuwei's space sequence law, blue stripes appeared on the surface of his body. The power of the Eight-Star Jadeite reappeared, imitating Tai Xuan and using Tai Xuan.
And his laws in the power of the sun were much stronger than in the previous battle in the Rotting God Universe.
Xu Wuwei was shocked. How could Shaoyin Divine Venerable use Tai Xuan?
The collision between Tai Jade and Tai Jade caused the void to collapse, and the power of the sun took the opportunity to burn the five flavors of the void.
Xu Wuwei coughed up blood.
In the distance, the Heaven Conquering Staff smashed towards the round plate. The mutants were fighting against Bai Sheng.
"This is a battle between the Eternals and the humans, as well as a battle between the Sixth Mainland and the Fifth Mainland," the outsider declared.
Bai Sheng raised an eyebrow. "You're from the Sixth Mainland?
That's great! It's a pity that we didn't make it in time for the decisive battle between the Fifth Mainland and your Sixth Mainland. Today, we'll make you pay the price. "
The mutant sneered, "Die."
Xu Heng and Xu Leng faced four Ancestor Realm corpse kings at the same time.
Another Ancestor Realm Corpse King was being held back by the Demon Emperor.
The current sect masters of the Above Heaven Sect and the Heavenly Gate were all participating in the battle. The Demon Thearch was one of them, and he happened to be in the third battle group.
Even further away, Sky Jia Lan was challenging a Half Martial Ancestor-level Corpse King, but her gaze was focused on the battle between Divine Venerable Shaoyin and Xu Wuwei. Was that an eight-star talent?
Why was that person able to display an eight-star talent?
This was something that only the Jialan Clan members could use.
Could that person be from the Jialan Clan?
"Xu Wuwei, die!" The Shaoyin Divine Venerable roared. The power of the sun invaded, and the Taixuan Domain collided.
Xu Wuwei's face was ghastly pale, but he let out a mocking smile. "Supreme God Shao Yin, have you forgotten that I cultivate the power of the Virtual God?"
Divine Sovereign Shaoyin's pupils shrank.
Xu Wuwei took out a pot and said, "This pot can cook the five tastes of the human world, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty. Supreme Divinity Shao Yin, have a taste." Then, a terrifying amount of Virtual God power flew towards Supreme Divinity Shao Yin.
The power of the Great Yin and Great Yang blasted out from the Shaoyin Divine Sovereign's body.
There was a loud boom, and ripples appeared in the void.
When the people of the Virtual God Universe fought, they could use Virtual God power to draw power that was several times or even more than ten times their own. This was a great advantage.
Even if Supreme God Shao Yin used the power of the sun and the moon to form a sequence rule that surpassed Xu Wuwei's, it was difficult for him to break through the Virtual God power.
At the critical moment, a figure appeared.
The figure appeared behind Xu Wuwei and raised his arm high. In his hand was a huge black strip, which he smashed down at Xu Wuwei.
Xu Wuwei turned around. The intense danger made him shiver. He wanted to avoid it, but he was surrounded by the power of the sun and moon. It was difficult for him to withdraw his Virtual God power to resist Supreme God Shao Yin. Seeing that the huge black strip was about to hit Xu Wuwei, a golden light suddenly illuminated the parallel space. The God Sealing Catalog appeared above Xu Wuwei's head.
"The Eternal Clan is so strange." Lu Qi turned his back to Xu Wuwei and faced the figure holding the black strip.
The black strip smashed onto the God Sealing Catalog. Black and gold lights intersected, forming a huge shadow that spread across the parallel space.
Xu Wuwei was afraid. "Be careful. It should be the captain of the True God Guards."
The newcomer was Lu Qi. He had been following the Third Battle Group. The Third Battle Group was the most important of the four battle groups. Once the Fourth Battle Group was disbanded, the Eternal Clan would first destroy the Third Battle Group. The First and Second Battle Groups would not move no matter what happened.
Lu Qi's existence was enough to deal with a sequence rule powerhouse.
He was not a sequence rule powerhouse, but because of his uniqueness, he had no problem holding back a sequence rule powerhouse.
However, there was no sequence rule powerhouse. Instead, there was a captain of the True God Guards.
Supreme God Shao Yin's expression was ugly. If Lu Qi could appear, the other Above Heaven Sect powerhouses might not. They had been prepared for this battle.
"What a strange and disgusting power. You must be a shroud." Lu Qi stared at the figure holding the black strip and leaped out. He waved his hand and threw out the Ksitigarbha Needle.
Wang Jian's power walked out of the God Sealing Catalog toward the Mutant.
The Mutant was a traitor of the Sixth Mainland. Whether it was the enmity between the Fifth Mainland and the Sixth Mainland, or now that he had betrayed the Sixth Mainland, he was the one Lu Qi wanted to kill the most. As for Supreme God Shao Yin, he could not kill him.
Lu Qi's appearance was equivalent to two progenitors. Supreme God Shao Yin had no choice but to order a retreat. If they did not leave now, they would not be able to leave when the First Battle Group arrived.
The Mutant wanted to leave, but he was entangled by Bai Sheng. With Wang Jian's arrival, he could not leave.
"Supreme God Shao Yin, save me!" the Mutant shouted.
Supreme God Shao Yin was about to attack when Xu Wuwei's Taixuan Domain spread out and blocked them.
Supreme God Shao Yin could not fight Xu Wuwei to the death for the Mutant, so he could only leave.
The captain of the True God Guards who attacked Lu Qi also left.
The Mutant's expression was ferocious. Divine power appeared in his body and blasted toward Bai Sheng.
Bai Sheng was afraid of the divine power and hurriedly retreated.
The Mutant wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but he found that the Taixuan Domain had surrounded him.
Within the Taixuan Domain, it was impossible for him to tear through the void and leave. It was even more impossible for him to find the Astral Door. His surroundings were already blocked by Lu Qi, Xu Heng, and Xu Leng.
The Mutant's heart sank. He did not expect this. They were the ones who had been tricked.
Lu Yin dared to attack the Endless Battlefield, so he had been prepared.
Lu Qi looked at the Mutant and sneered. "It's not bad to get rid of one."
Bai Sheng raised the Sky-Vanquishing Staff and pointed it at the Mutant.
The Mutant gritted his teeth. "I betrayed the Eternals. I'm willing to tell you the Eternals' secrets as long as you don't kill me and let me join the Above Heaven."
"I know many secrets of the Eternals. It will definitely be useful to you."
Lu Qi narrowed his eyes. "How sad. You betrayed the humans and joined the Eternals. Now that you're facing death, you want to betray the Eternals again. Who would want someone like you?"
The Mutant clenched his fists. "I just want to live. The humans can't stop the Fifth Mainland's situation. Let me go this once. I'm an Progenitor after all. The Above Heaven wants to pursue its past glory. The more Progenitors, the better, right?"
Xu Heng and Xu Leng looked at each other. It was rare to see such a shameless powerhouse.
Xu Wuwei said, "Surrender. We won't kill you now."
The Mutant's expression changed. "I want Lu Yin's promise."
"Then you can go to hell."
Bai Sheng's staff smashed down. At the same time, the Ksitigarbha Needle shot at the Mutant. Xu Wuwei's Taixuan Territory shrank, and the terrifying Void God's power crashed into the Mutant. The Mutant was on the verge of death. He spat out blood and begged for mercy. "Alright, I surrender. I want to see Lu Yin. I want to talk to him."
The Mutant was indeed valuable. After all, he had joined the Eternals for so long.
Bai Sheng raised the Sky-Vanquishing Staff and pressed it against the Mutant's shoulder. The Mutant's expression darkened. He had not expected this outcome.
Back then, he did not think that the humans could win. Who would have thought that Lu Yin would appear and lead the Fifth Mainland to expel the Eternals? If he had known this would happen, he would never have betrayed the humans.
Extreme regret caused him to cough up blood again.
Bai Sheng reached out to grab him. Suddenly, Xu Wuwei retracted his Taixuan Territory and pushed Bai Sheng back. Bai Sheng was confused. In front of him, the mutant's divine power surged out and burned his body. He screamed in pain, and this kind of shrill scream was extremely horrifying.
Indescribable pain engulfed the Mutant. The Mutant did not expect this. He kept twisting his body to escape the divine power. "I was wrong, True God. I was wrong. I did not want to betray the Eternals."
"True God, please let me go. I was wrong. Ah —"
"Ah —"
Everyone retreated and looked at this scene in horror.
One could imagine how much pain a Progenitor had to go through to make him scream like this.
The Mutant melted under the divine power's burning. The speed was very slow. His hair, skin, muscles, and bones melted inch by inch. However, his head was not injured. His mind was clear, and he was enduring the extreme pain of being awake.
This scene made everyone shudder.
Bai Sheng was terrified. If Xu Wuwei had not discovered it early, he would have been burned by this divine power. Just thinking about it was terrifying.
The Mutant screamed, rolled, and begged for mercy. His voice became hoarse.
The whole process lasted for the time it took to burn a stick of incense.
The Mutant was melted by the divine fire. Finally, it reached his head.
The burning of his head was even slower. The divine fire wanted to make him feel pain. His skin and muscles melted at a much slower speed than the burning of his body. The Mutant screamed, "Bone Boat, Bone Boat, be careful of the Bone Boat. When the Bone Boat descends, everything will be annihilated —"
As these words appeared, the divine fire suddenly sped up and drowned out his voice. He could not make a sound, and a smile of relief appeared on his face.
This was a fate worse than death. This was truly a fate worse than death.
The people of the Third Battle Group watched as the Mutant was burned into nothingness. They felt as if cold water had been poured over them from head to toe. It was bone-chilling.
This was the fate of a traitor.
…
In Hyperspace, the moment Deity Shaoyin and the others retreated, Lu Shan, Yu Huo, and the others received the news. They had wanted to scheme against the Third Battle Group, but they had been tricked by the Third Battle Group.
It could not be called a scheme. If not for the First Battle Group's support, Deity Shaoyin and the others might have been able to fight the Third Battle Group to the death.
Yu Huo finally understood why Lu Yin did not care.
After failing to eliminate the Third Battle Group, Hyperspace did not have the upper hand. They also wanted to retreat.
