Chapter 2903: Purpose
The Origin Universe’s cultivators were the exact opposite. They were all people who had survived through various tribulations to reach their current strength. Lu Yin\'s Semi-Progenitor tribulation during the Tea Ceremony had terrified the entire Sixverse Association. In addition to that, the Origin Universe was slowly interacting with the Sixverse Association more and more. As a result, the members of the Sixverse Association were gaining a greater understanding and admiration for the Origin Universe.
The Cyclic Universe’s Great Sovereign was able to bestow power upon the Three Sovereigns and Nine Sages, which was very powerful. But in comparison, the Origin Universe’s Progenitors had all reached their level of power by surviving various tribulations, which granted them an even more robust foundation and allowed for near infinite possibilities.
The Origin Universe was the only universe to have given birth to something as glorious as the ancient Heavens Sect era, and it was impossible for such a thing to appear in any other universe.
The arrival of Shao Chen and the others reassured the Transcendent Universe on a subconscious level. It was not something that the universe’s combatants had even considered, and they did not realize that this sense of comfort was actually an indication that the Origin Universe had completely surpassed the Transcendent Universe.
Blades sliced through the void, constantly attacking Greenridge. However, the result was no different from when Qiu Zhan and the Transcendent Universe’s powerhouses had been attacking; all of the blades were dulled, and Greenridge did not move at all.
Leng Qing frowned. What was going on?
"Celestial Blade World." An endless number of sabers fell down, enveloping the entire border warfront.
The Celestial Blade World looked as though it could instantly kill Greenridge, but every single attack was slightly diverted as it fell upon him.
An arrow was shot from far away as Chen Le attacked, but the arrow was also deflected.
"These True God Guard Captains are quite a pain," Chen Le said with an ugly expression on his face. The truth was that he wanted to be participating in the crusade on the Endless Frontier. Given the number of peak powerhouses there, the Endless Frontier was rather safe, whereas Chen Le was currently facing off against a True God Guard Captain in the Transcendent Universe. Lu Yin had not even discussed Chen Le’s assignment with the Monarch, and he treated him entirely like a subordinate.
The black energy converters continued to unleash endless attacks as well, but every last attack missed Greenridge.
Shao Chen finally took action, and he lashed out with a palm strike. There seemed to be nothing special about this attack, but Greenridge was unable to evade this palm strike. His body trembled, and his eyes grew unfocused.
Qiu Zhan and the others from the Transcendent Universe all looked at Shao Chen in surprise, as they could not tell what was happening.
Chen Le’s eyebrows rose. Shao Chen’s cultivation was the mortal world, and the man was an absolute monster. He was trailblazing a new cultivation method. When the Heavens Sect had been attacked, Shao Chen had personally held back one of the True God Guard Captains even though he had just broken through to become a peak powerhouse. Even among all of the Heavens Sect’s Progenitors, there was no doubt that the man was a freak.
Shao Chen had experienced too many things, and he had transformed his experiences of the mortal world into memories, which were then forced onto Greenridge. The True God Guard Captain was being forced to experience the lives of others.
This method that forced the lives of others onto a person could introduce both pain and joy. However, for peak powerhouses, this method was only moderately effective. Every single peak powerhouse had to possess a certain level of determination and confidence in their own path in order to have reached their level. It was a requirement for them to possess some level of self-awareness.
When Shao Chen forced his mortal world onto another, it would bring about a change in the person’s thoughts.
Greenridge had been confident that he could face a number of Progenitors on his own, but at this moment, his expression changed drastically.
Seizing the opening, Leng Qing and others all attacked.
"Greenridge–!" A sharp shout rang across the battlefield, and it successfully roused Greenridge.
His eyes regained clarity, and he deflected all of the incoming attacks again. He grew scared of Shao Chen, as there was something very odd about the man.
A man whose appearance was completely hidden by black robes had suddenly appeared on the battlefield in the Transcendent Universe, and his shout had woken up Greenridge.
Another one of the Aeternals’ peak powerhouses had appeared.
On top of that, the man was not alone, as multiple powerful auras appeared behind him, terrifying Qiu Zhan and the others.
Fifteen. A total of fifteen Progenitor-level corpse kings had appeared in the Transcendent Universe.
Chen Le\'s face turned pale. This was the end.
"Destroy the Transcendent Universe!" a shout echoed out in everyone’s ears.
The man in the black robe charged at Shao Chen. "I will take care of him."
The fifteen Progenitor-level corpse kings that had appeared behind the black-robed individual charged forward, scattering in every direction. Their purpose was to destroy the universe.
Greenridge waved his arms, and leaves flew forward, shooting at Leng Qing and the others. "All of you can die!"
Leng Qing frowned as he quickly gave orders to the guides who had led them to the Transcendent Universe. The guides were ordered to inform Lu Yin that the Transcendent Universe’s reinforcements were not enough to handle the attack.
Arrows flew out as two Progenitor-level corpse kings moved to surround Chen Le. The Monarch gritted his teeth and glanced around. The man in black robes was fighting against Shao Chen, and the Progenitor was using the mortal world to attack his opponent. However, Shao Chen’s attacks were actually useless. As for Leng Qing, his opponent was Greenridge.
Even though Leng Qing\'s attacks could do nothing, Greenridge\'s attacks were not much of a threat to Leng Qing either.
Qiu Zhan and everyone else was being besieged by the Progenitor-level corpse kings.
Zuo Lao was facing a crisis. People who used black energy converters were all very weak for their level. At best, they could only deal with one of the weakest Progenitor-level corpse kings, and they would be doomed if they ever faced more than one.
One of the Progenitor-level corpse kings in the rear underwent a Green Eyes Transformation, which greatly strengthened the monster’s body. The pressure on Chen Le kept increasing. Desperate, he used his sequence particles.
The law of the universe that his sequence particles represented was Indolence.
Laziness was intrinsic to sapient creatures. Both humans and astral beasts, provided that they were sapient, would possess some degree of indolence. Of course, other creatures could also be lazy, but it was not as obvious with them.
While laziness seemed to be part of human nature, Indolence was actually a law of the universe. If it were not, it would never appear. The truth was that every kind of phenomena in the universe was associated with a corresponding law, which was why the laws of the universe were endless.
Chen Le attached his sequence particles to an arrow and shot it at the corpse king that had just completed the Corpse King Transformation. The monster retaliated with a punch, shattering the arrow, but the sequence particles still struck true.
Would a corpse king be lazy? Of course not, but things changed when the laws of the universe were being wielded.
Chen Le watched as the green color faded from the corpse king\'s eyes. The monster was too lazy to use the technique any longer.
On top of that, the laziness caused the corpse king to freeze in place, as it was too lazy to even move.
Chen Le breathed a sigh of relief, delighted at the power of his sequence particles. They had proven very useful.
This left the Monarch with only one Progenitor-level corpse king to deal with.
Using sequence particles that came from the laws of the universe was something that could completely reverse a battle. If not for his sequence particles, Chen Le would have most likely fallen to the two corpse kings that had targeted him.
Zuo Lao was not nearly as lucky, and he was killed almost as soon as he was targeted by the corpse kings.
Wen Shi was also in grave danger, and he was about to die as well.
Shao Chen was still busy with the black-robed man. The man had no fear of Shao Chen’s mortal world, which made it difficult for Shao Chen to do anything to his opponent.
One of the Progenitor-level corpse kings reached the Ziyou Realm, and it immediately started destroying everything.
Wails rang out from the You family as blood flowed like a river.
Outside the stairs where Bai Qian stayed, another Progenitor-level corpse king was quickly approaching.
Without Lord Wei to protect it, the Transcendent Universe had become the weakest link of the Sixverse Association. Their black energy converters were completely incapable of holding back the Aeternals.
Back at the border warfront, Lu Yin entered the fray with a roar.
He had charged over as soon as he received the report from the Transcendent Universe, and at the same time, the third battalion had merged with the first battalion.
The Aeternals were not stupid, and they would naturally find various ways to respond to Lu Yin’s crusade.
Wang Wen, Wei Rong, and the others had all spent the 100 days of preparation analyzing potential reactions. That way, the human forces could be prepared for as many situations as possible.
Lu Yin had already expected the Transcendent Universe to be the target of a massive attack, and the planned response was for the three remaining battalions to merge into two.
Chen Le was overjoyed to see Lu Yin. Even if only one person came to reinforce the Transcendent Universe, Lu Yin possessed the means to reverse the tides.
The golden light of the Investiture of the Gods illuminated the forces of the Sixverse Association, and it instantly drew the attention of all of the Progenitor-level corpse kings.
Lu Yin stood atop the jiao as Xia Shenji and all the other summoned gods scattered in multiple directions. As for Lu Yin himself, he held the slipper in one hand before moving through spatial lines to instantly appear in front of a Progenitor-level corpse king, the slipper already raised to attack.
"Avoid it!" a voice snapped.
The corpse king wanted to dodge Lu Yin\'s attack, but the human was far faster than most Progenitor-level corpse kings. The slipper slammed down onto the corpse king\'s head, shattering it.
Lu Yin looked over at a Progenitor-level corpse king that was further away and again moved along the spatial lines.
"All of you, dodge!" the same sharp voice screamed.
However, in the face of Lu Yin\'s control over the power of space, it was impossible for any of the ordinary Progenitor-level corpse kings to escape from him. In the blink of an eye, three of the powerful corpse kings had been destroyed.
Before the return of the Lu family, Lu Yin had not had any opportunities to kill Progenitor-level corpse kings and anoint them as champions. After his family returned, Lu Qi had shared some of the family’s ancestral teachings with Lu Yin, and Lu Yin had learned that they were forbidden to ever anoint a slain corpse king as a champion.
It was very possible that Nutjob Lu was the only person in the history of the Lu family who had ever anointed a corpse king as a champion.
That taboo had been established by Lu Yuan, and it had been passed down since ancient times.
In the face of three fallen Progenitor-level corpse kings, Lu Yin resisted temptation and turned his attention to the black-robed man who was still shouting. "You’re so noisy."
With that said, Lu Yin moved towards the man in black robe.
The man screamed, "You’ve fallen into a trap! The third battalion has already been destroyed!"
Lu Yin instantly appeared behind the black-robed man. "Bullshit."
The slipper slammed down.
The man in the black robe fled, only to discover Lightstream flickering around him, reversing time by one second. The slipper smashed into the man, who screamed as his black robe shattered, revealing his true body.
Lu Yin was startled. What the hell is this?
Lu Yin was not alone, as Leng Qing, Qiu Zhan, and everyone else on the battlefield was similarly stunned. Was that... a fish? It was no wonder why Shao Chen’s mortal world had been useless. Even if a fish experienced human life, it would be as effective as a human experiencing the life of a fish. How much of an impact would such a thing have? At best, the individual would be surprised.
The man in the black robe was really just a fish that was upright and walking on its fins.
It was nothing more than a fish.
Lu Yin stared at the fish. How could his opponent be a fish?
The mouthy fish that sat on Xi Qi’s head had altered many people’s understanding of the universe, but what was before Lu Yin was even stranger.
"My name is Yu Huo, a True God Guard Captain! Dao Monarch Lu, your third battalion should already be destroyed by now! Your so-called crusade to conquer the Endless Frontier is nothing but a joke. This is the start of the end for your Heavens Sect!" The fish raised its head high as it spoke, its shrill voice sounding more like a scream.
It was clearly just a fish, but it demonstrated extreme arrogance.
Lu Yin let out a breath. There were countless different creatures throughout the universe, so there was no need to be too shocked by this one. "Again, that’s bullshit."
...
On the Endless Frontier, the third battalion had been moving to join the first battalion, but they were attacked by the Aeternals after covering about half of the distance.
The four battalions had been taking four different routes across the Endless Frontier. In response, the Aeternals wanted to eliminate two of the battalions and make it impossible for the fourth battalion to support the third. This was their strategy to counter Lu Yin’s crusade.
