Chapter 2820: Requesting Reinforcements

Seven Progenitors faced off against ten Progenitor-level corpse kings. This was clearly a numerical disadvantage, but people like Mu Xie and Leng Qing were capable of handling more than one opponent.

"Everyone, this is the moment of truth for our Heavens Sect. This is our battle to protect the Heavens Sect with our lives!" Arch-Elder Zen shouted.

"Stay in the Heavens Sect!

"No one beneath the Progenitor realm is allowed to come out!"

After that proclamation, the Heavens Sect’s seven Progenitors charged at the ten Progenitor-level corpse kings.

Unimaginable destructive power rumbled out in every direction.

Fortunately, the Heavens Sect blocked the power in one direction; otherwise, the destruction would have swept across the entire galaxy.

Within the Heavens Sect, the Progenitor of Bloodlines looked up. No one had expected ten of Aeternus’s Progenitor-level corpse kings to suddenly appear and attack them. Such an event had not even been considered.

Without their Dao Monarch, this battle would absolutely determine the Heavens Sect’s survival.

Lu Buzheng, Skymender, Cai Er, and the other Semi-Progenitors all watched. They were forbidden from participating in this battle of Progenitors, but they knew that they were powerful Realmbreakers who could threaten the average Progenitor.

Hen Xin, Destina, Yao Di, and several others all looked towards the Heavens Sect. They simply did not know if they should approach this battle or not.

In a very short amount of time, the Outerverse had been completely overturned.

Leng Qing’s blade flashed, wounding a corpse king. This monster possessed the physical strength of a Progenitor, but it did not truly possess the strength of a Progenitor. Such a creature was not a difficult opponent for Leng Qing. His blade attacked one of the corpse kings while he faced another with his body, not suffering a disadvantage against either opponent.

Arch-Elder Zen used his Tri-Yang Ancestral Qi Technique to summon Xue Wuqing and Progenitor Hui, both of whom easily fended off a corpse king on their own.

Mu Xie also overpowered two of the Progenitor-level corpse kings on his own. Many people were relieved at the sight. While the ten Progenitor-level corpse kings were undoubtedly very powerful, fortunately, they were not true Progenitors, and they lacked that level of strength. With time, the humans would eradicate all of the corpse kings.

Suddenly, shadows enveloped the area, and a massive thing squeezed out from the void and slammed against the Heavens Sect.

Leng Qing was startled, and countless blades rose up from below. This was the Celestial Blade World, and the endless blades stabbed into the massive form.

The Celestial Blade World was an extremely sharp attack, and anyone who entered Leng Qing’s Progenitor’s world had to overcome the threat of the blades lest they be skewered by endless blades.

This huge object had a shiny black surface. It stepped on the Celestial Blade and crashed against the Heavens Sect.

If Lu Yin were present, he would have instantly recognized it as the camphor bug. This was the same beast that had escaped from the Big Stone Universe on the Endless Frontier.

The camphor bug possessed an incredibly tough body, but Lu Yin had perfectly countered the creature by smashing its back with his slipper. If not for that, anyone else would struggle to overcome the creature’s absurd defenses.

When the camphor bug appeared and slammed into the Heavens Sect, not even Leng Qing could stop it.

However, at the last moment, Ancestor Tortoise retracted its head and limbs into its shell and slammed into the side of the camphor bug.

The two were about the same size, and Ancestor Tortoise forcefully bashed the bug away.

Countless people were stunned. No one had thought that Ancestor Tortoise could stand up to a beast with the strength of a Progenitor. This massive bug was even capable of shrugging off Leng Qing’s Celestial Blade World, so why had Ancestor Tortoise taken action against it?

On the back of Ancestor Tortoise, the entire Mavis family was completely shocked.

Heluo Mavis was clinging to the trunk of the Divine Tree. "Is Ancestor Tortoise really that powerful?"

There was no one in the Mavis family who could answer her. Ancestor Tortoise had been lured from the Lu family by the Mavis family. They had believed that the tortoise was as strong as a Semi-Progenitor, despite its absurd size. After all, Ancestor Tortoise had always acted scared of the jiao and been unwilling to even face the beast. Who could have anticipated that Ancestor Tortoise would reveal such an incredible amount of strength at this critical moment?

Lu Buzheng heaved a sigh of relief. He had heard from Lu Yin that Ancestor Tortoise was an odd creature. While it was usually bullied by the jiao, the jiao never tried to do anything more than intimidate the tortoise. This did not match the jiao’s aggressive personality, and it indicated that it could not actually do anything to Ancestor Tortoise.

Ancestor Tortoise was far from weak. Actually, the only reason why Ancestor Tortoise was regarded as relatively weak was because the tortoise had been so scared of Corpse God that it had fled the battlefield.

The woman was utterly stunned. She had never witnessed such a chaotic battle before.

There had to be more than twenty peak powerhouses engaged in a massive brawl. This was more intense than even the worst battlefield on the Endless Frontier.

Had the Origin Universe become a part of the Endless Frontier? Was He Ran suddenly on the frontlines of the war between the Sixverse Association and Aeternus?

Lu Buzheng let out a long breath. It was their turn to take action. They were Realmbreakers who could challenge Progenitors. This was something that each of the Twelve Heavenly Gatemasters was capable of doing.

However, there were too many opponents, and Hen Xin, Destina, and others were not present.

"We'll handle two of them, which leaves the other two to you. Do your best to keep them occupied." Shan Pu stepped out with Fang Yi beside him. However, she should really be referred to as Shan Fangyi at this point, as she had become a peak powerhouse herself.

Before Lu Yin went to the Great Sovereign’s tea ceremony, he had made a point to contact the Lost Clan and ask them to send two Progenitor-level experts to help protect the Heavens Sect.

Lu Yin had known from the beginning that the tea ceremony would not be a simple matter. The four ruling powers and Sovereign Shao Yin wanted to eliminate Lu Yin, and while he could deal with the threats that he could see, it was difficult to deal with threats that could not be predicted.

Lu Yin was smart, but he knew that others were not stupid. The best he could do was leave as many backup plans as possible.

The Lost Clan had honored Lu Yin’s request without hesitation, which had exceeded Lu Yin's expectations. He had truly only wanted one of the Lost Clan’s peak powerhouse to help protect the Heavens Sect, and he had intended to ask Xu Wuji to also help. But surprisingly, the Lost Clan had sent two experts.

The addition of two Progenitor-level experts and Cloudflow, all of whom had been hiding in the Heavens Sect, should have been enough to deal with most unseen threats. Even if Bai Sheng and the four ruling powers’ other Progenitors had returned to wage war on the Heavens Sect, they would not have been able to do anything.

Not even Lu Yin had predicted that Aeternus would suddenly attack the Heavens Sect with captains of the True God Guard, as well as ten Progenitor-level corpse kings. This was not something that he could have predicted, as he had not even known about the existence of the True God Guard.

Who could have predicted that True God Wei Yi would suddenly attack the Great Sovereign’s tea ceremony while the True God Guard attacked the Heavens Sect?

All that could be said was that the Aeternals had planned too thoroughly and possessed too deep a foundation.

The two peak powerhouses from the Lost Clan took action, while Cai Er and Lu Buzheng targeted the other two Progenitor-level corpse kings. The Semi-Progenitors asked themselves if they could handle such opponents.

In the Heavens Sect’s main hall, Wang Wen stared out at the battle in outer space, sighing. The outcome of this battle would determine the fate of humanity. If nothing else, he should find a way to stay alive.

Thinking of this, he took out his transparent coffin and laid down while many people gave him extremely odd looks.

Your Royal Chesspiece, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but that I really can’t! Everyone, I wish you luck!

...

In the Cyclic Universe, at the tea ceremony, a wolf head appeared over Lu Yin once again. Forgotten Ruins God had no intention of letting him go.

However, against an opponent like Forgotten Ruins God, Lu Yin could only flee.

The gap between those who controlled sequence particles and those who could not was terrifyingly vast. It was no different from a chasm.

Against nearly any other opponent, Lu Yin was strong enough to face them, even Progenitors as powerful as Bai Wangyuan and Wang Fan. However, against Forgotten Ruins God and her mastery of sequence particles, Lu Yin could not even attack. Every time he tried, he would forget what he was doing. If it was impossible to defend oneself in a battle, how could a person hope to fight at all?

Lu Yin dodged with Inverse Step while pulling out a wireless jincan.

It was trembling crazily.

The unease in Lu Yin's heart grew even more intense, so he checked the message.

The Heavens Sect has been attacked by more than ten Progenitor-level corpse kings. A single sentence saw Lu Yin’s heart drop out.

About a dozen Progenitor-level corpse kings... This would be fine if they were all Progenitor-level corpse kings that possessed an average level of strength, but this message meant that the Heavens Sect was requesting for reinforcements. Even with Lu Yin’s senior brother, Arch-Elder Zen, and the other Progenitors protecting the Heavens Sect, they were still asking for help. Lu Yin could only imagine the pressure that the Heavens Sect was facing.

Lu Yin looked back at Sovereign Shao Yin one again, seeing that the man could only barely keep his arrogance hidden.

There was no need for Lu Yin to guess—he was already 90% certain that the Sovereign was a spy.
