Chapter 2835: Return

Chapter 2835: Return

The sense of crisis continued to increase, and Lu Buzheng knew that he might not be able to scare Old Mo again. The man certainly was not stupid.

There was no way, other than to be completely shameless.

The danger is coming from that direction.

Lu Buzheng suddenly stared in Old Mo’s direction. At the same time, Big Sis and the headmaster also looked over.

Old Mo revealed himself. He stared at Lu Buzheng with a vicious smile. "Lu Buzheng, did you expect me to still be alive?"

Lu Buzheng's eye twitched. Sure enough, it was him. The old freak really had lived through all these years. Lu Buzheng swallowed and raised his hands in false cheer. "Brother Mo Shang, you really are alive. How wonderful! You’ve managed to live from the Heavens Sect era til now. You are undoubtedly as strong as the Seven Skygods, so I’ll entrust that captain of the True God Guard to you. That one, over there. The guy in black armor on the big bug."

Chong Gui looked over and pointed at himself. "Me?"

He then looked at Old Mo. "As strong as the Seven Skygods? That’s a problem. We can’t handle that."

Old Mo sneered. "Still so shameless? Does that even help?"

Lu Buzheng shrugged. He had no idea if it would help or not. He was betting that the Aeternals would take the initiative to attack Old Mo, as well as betting on the hope that Old Mo would not dare to openly help Aeternus. At the very least, the battle would turn into a three-way fight, which would prevent Lu Buzheng from having to face Old Mo on his own.

However, both Lu Buzheng and Old Mo had missed one important detail: the Aeternals were highly intelligent. They had successfully destroyed one Mainland after another during the height of the Heavens Sect era, and they had not done so with overwhelming strength. Rather, they had lacked that strength during the ancient era and had thus relied on cunning and caution.

The captains of the True God Guard would not believe anything that Lu Buzheng said. They could also see that there was a problem. Still, no matter what, it was true that Old Mo was their enemy.

The Chiliagonist had already told all of his allies who Old Mo was.

Regardless of whether Old Mo attacked the Heavens Sect, his mere presence was an obstacle to Aeternus. None of the captains of the True God Guard were capable of dealing with a Sequence Progenitor.

In that case, they simply needed to choose the safest option.

The Chiliagonist endured the pain that the headmaster’s mortal world was causing him. Divine power surged from his body and shot up into the sky.

At the same time, Chong Gui, Ju Ji, and Zhong Pan all released divine energy as well. Even some of the corpse kings that had been fighting with the captains of the True God Guard released divine energy, though not all of them.

Lines of red divine energy shot upwards in all directions, releasing a dark-red light that illuminated the entire Outerverse, bringing about an intense sense of unease and oddness.

The red light shone on everyone's face, highlighting their shock and fear.

Even Luo Shan, who was far away on Shenwu Continent, was illuminated by the red light.

At this moment, the brightest thing in the entire Fifth Mainland was the dark-red light, and it instantly filled the entire Fifth Mainland, including the Technocracy and the Astral Beast Domain.

Everyone blankly stared upwards. Regardless of whether they understood what divine energy was, the power fomented an instinctive fear in everyone.

Old Mo clenched a fist. Once again, he was facing this power, and this time, there was far more of it than when it had appeared in the Umbral Universe. Back then, it had only been the Chiliagonist’s divine energy, but right now, the divine energy was coming from four of the captains of the True God Guard, as well as five Progenitor-level corpse kings.

The light of the divine energy seemed to illuminate a path to death.

Once all the divine energy had completely gathered, it condensed into what looked like a sun. While it merely illuminated the humans, this sun granted the four captains of the True God Guard a power so intense that it was practically a transformation.

Arcs of power streamed into the bodies of the four captains, causing each of them to undergo changes as their auras surged wildly.

Mu Xie and others grew solemn.

Big Sis’s mouth twitched. “This is a big problem.”

Arch-Elder Zen coughed up blood. Shao Chen looked up at the divine energy helplessly. Chen Le, Monarch Xing, Master Shan, and all the Progenitor-level powerhouses could sense a heavy pressure from the divine energy.

At the bottom of the Stairway to Heaven, He Ran fell into despair. Why was this happening? There were clearly a great number of extremely powerful corpse kings, but why could their strength increase even further?

Figures stood at the top of the golden mountain. Each of them exuded a powerful aura and surging bloodlust that instantly overwhelmed the auras of Aeternus’s True God Guard.

Chong Gui stared at the golden mountain. Beneath his black armor, his expression grew more serious than ever before. "Hey, hey, hey, what's going on? This is a joke, right? I’m hallucinating, right?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the other captains of the True God Guard. Only then did he realize that the Chiliagonist had disappeared at some point in time, and Ju Ji and Zhong Pan, who had been fighting with Mu Xie, were also gone. Chong Gui was the only captain still outside the Heavens Sect, accompanied by less than ten Progenitor-level corpse kings.

All hesitation disappeared as he rushed towards the camphor bug. "Hurry, run!"

"Hmmm? You want to escape before me?" The same majestic voice echoed throughout the Fifth Mainland, shaking the entire universe. The voice even reached the Perennial World, as it filled the Origin Universe.

Atop the golden mountain, a figure stepped forward. "Ancestor, leave these to your descendants. Please, go help Xiaoxuan."

"I will make sure that whoever dares to bully my descendants will die a good death." The tremendous voice instantly shattered all the Progenitor-level corpse kings, aside from Chong Gui. Even the camphor bug with the impenetrable defenses was destroyed. Arch-Elder Zen and the others from the Heavens Sect felt their scalps go numb, even as they were enveloped by an unprecedented sense of protection. This was an unfathomable powerhouse.

Chong Gui coughed up blood as he turned to stare at the figure stepping away from the golden mountain.

"Senior Tianyi?" Arch-Elder Zen grew incredibly excited.

...

In the Cyclic Universe, Lu Yin was engaged in a desperate fight with Sovereign Shao Yin when he suddenly discovered that the battle had changed. All of the Skygods retreated as one.

"Little Lu Yin, let's play again later," Forgotten Ruins God said with a tender smile.

Blackless God shot a cold glare at Lu Yin, but he said nothing.

Shaman God wanted to attack Lu Yin one last time, but they could not take the risk. If the Skygod delayed even slightly, things would not end well. A very troublesome person had returned.

Even True God left, dragging Sovereign Shao Yin away as well.

The Great Sovereign could not keep True God from leaving, but she did manage to deprive Sovereign Shao Yin of his power. However, the Sovereign did not care at all, and he simply mentioned something to Lu Yin before disappearing.

Lu Yin heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that his family had returned. There was no other event that could have altered the balance of the battle.

Mister Mu, the Lord of Lightning, or some other powerful person from another universe could have arrived, but Lu Yin did not believe that the Aeternals had not taken such variables into account before launching their attack. Every factor had to have been accounted for, aside from the possible return of the Lu family.

His family was back, right?

"This battle is over. Congratulations on preserving the Heavens Sect from Aeternus, child of the Lu family. You have a place among us."

A voice entered Lu Yin's ears, and he stared into the distance. It had been the voice of True God.

The Heavens Sect had truly been saved.

The sudden end of the fight caught the Sixverse Association off guard. No one knew that the Lu family had already returned.

The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had been broken, and the Heavenly Gate had shattered. Evergreen Sage was the first peak powerhouse to die during the battle, but aside from him, no other peak powerhouse had died. The main reason for this was because Lu Yin had taken a long time to overcome his stellular tribulation, and after he succeeded, the Lu family had soon returned.

"Descendant of the Lu family!" A shout came from the Great Sovereign.

Everyone looked at Lu Yin. With the battle over, the first person that the Great Sovereign addressed was Lu Yin.

While he had certainly performed well during the battle, he had not had any impact on any of the Seven Skygods. In fact, Lu Yin’s only true accomplishment had been to expose Sovereign Shao Yin as a spy. How had he known that the Sovereign was a spy?
