Chapter 2918: Kong Tianzhao

The Heavens Sect had already noticed Ju Ji's attack, though everyone was surprised by it. Why were the Aeternals attacking Earth?

Lu Qi used his Investiture of the Gods, and the summoned Wang Jian stepped out, attacking the Chiliagonist and Yu Huo.

"Young Master Qi, I'm going to go help Earth." Master Shan sounded anxious. He knew that Earth held a special meaning to the Dao Monarch, and Master Shan refused to allow anything to happen to the planet.

Lu Qi sneered. "Don’t bother. Someone’s already dealing with it."

Master Shan could not do anything against one of the True God Guard Captains, and his presence might even increase the number of casualties. It had to be acknowledged that Lu Tianyi had not done anything yet, and he was still present in the Fifth Mainland.

Lu Qi was right. Sovereign Dou Sheng’s arrival in Giant's Purgatory meant that Lu Tianyi had not needed to race over to Giant's Purgatory. He remained in the Fifth Mainland, ready to deal with any unexpected occurrences. However, the Aeternals were not stupid. They also knew that Lu Tianyi had not appeared in Giant's Purgatory, and yet they had still insisted on attacking Earth. This meant that they had other people who could handle Lu Tianyi.

On the other side of the Heavens Sect, Lu Tianyi stood in front of a figure.

This person's entire body radiated a white light, which prevented their face from being seen clearly.

Lu Tianyi appeared solemn. "Of the Seven Skygods, I have fought against six. The only one that I have never faced is you, Whiteless God. This has been a very long time in coming."

Across from the Progenitor, the figure of white light softly replied, "Lu Tianyi, one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. Very few people in the Origin Universe can face the True God himself, so how could I have the courage to face you?"

The voice did not reveal any indication of belonging to a man or a woman, though it sounded quite sad.

Lu Tianyi stared at Whiteless God. "Who are you? Why is Aeternus suddenly attacking Earth? Your real goal is clearly Earth, not Giant's Purgatory or even the Heavens Sect. Those attacks are just a cover."

"You’ll have to find that answer on your own, as none of us will tell you. However, you can’t leave, at least not for now." Whiteless God sounded very confident.

Lu Tianyi took a deep breath. It would not be difficult for a Skygod whom he did not know anything about to keep him tied up. However, he was also a direct descendent of the Lu family, and one person had the power of a nation.

The golden light of the Investiture of the Gods illuminated the entire Fifth Mainland.

Lu Qi saw the light and heaved a sigh of relief. Ancestor Tianyi was taking action.

Lu Tianyi had conferred the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas as his summoned gods, and each one of them was very powerful. The Progenitor was confident that Whiteless God alone could not stop the summoned gods, and any one of those summoned gods could handle matters on Earth.

After all, Lu Tianyi had conferred people like Progenitor Ku and Progenitor Chen.

At the sight of the Investiture of the Gods appearing, Whiteless God’s right hand waved, spreading sourceboxes throughout the void until they surrounded the entire Heavens Sect. Above the Skygod’s head, white mountains appeared, and white water cascaded down from them.

Several figures emerged from Lu Tianyi's Investiture of the Gods, but they were completely surrounded by the sourceboxes. Already, a sourcebox array that trapped all of the summoned gods had been set out.

This eight-matrices sourcebox array had once trapped Leng Qing when Whiteless God’s Semi-Progenitor avatar tried to open the Extreme Path. The Skygod had only failed because Destina had also taken action.

That had merely been a Semi-Progenitor avatar. Against Lu Tianyi, Whiteless God was using a Progenitor’s world, as well as the sourcebox array. The eight matrices trapped every bit of power that Lu Tianyi had unleashed.

While this would not last for very long, Whiteless God's goal was Earth, not Lu Tianyi’s defeat. It would not take long to deal with Earth.

Lu Tianyi’s fingers stabbed out one after another, using his Law of Undoing. This was the Dao of One Heavens.

It was impossible to see Whiteless God’s expression, even as the Skygod retreated again and again. The white mountains overhead fell as they were broken one after another by Lu Tianyi 's fingers.

No one could ignore Lu Tianyi's attacks. Shaman God had not been able to, and it had been severely injured by just one finger. Whiteless God was not capable of doing any better.

Still, Whiteless God was one of the Seven Skygods, and if Lu Tianyi wanted to defeat a Skygod, it would take a great deal more time.

If they were not in the Origin Universe, Lu Tianyi might not even be able to defeat one of the Seven Skygods at their peak.

The void suddenly warped, and a terrifying blade qi erupted.

Whiteless God looked up. This was Progenitor Chen's blade qi. The Skygod had trapped Lu Tianyi’s summoned gods within a sourcebox array, but the summoned Progenitor Chen was crumbling the Eight Diagram Formation sourcebox array.

However, the blade pushed through the barrier of the void, and Ju Ji did not even have a moment to catch her breath.

Divine power surged from her body, and she stretched out a hand. Before her, the divine energy was transformed into two dimensions before it moved forward to block the edge of the sword.

"Why are you here?" Ju Ji asked softly as she stared intently at the white-clothed swordsman.

She recognized the man. He was Kong Tianzhao, an outsider powerhouse. He was the Lord of Lightning’s number two and a peak powerhouse who ranked among the most dangerous of Aeternus’s outsider enemies.

Kong Tianzhao’s sword was held up and pointed directly at Ju Ji. "A True God Guard Captain?"

The woman’s expression turned ugly. "Has the Lord of Lightning joined the Heavens Sect?"

Kong Tianzhao turned to look into the distance. "Is that the rumored Heavens Sect? That aura... is that one of the Seven Skygods?"

Ju Ji continued to stare at Kong Tianzhao. His words suggested that the two most likely had not joined forces. Was this the man’s first time seeing the Heavens Sect? Then why had he appeared?

Wait, could it be?

Ju Ji's expression changed drastically. Could the two be true parallel universes?

"Uncle, stop trying to act suave and just kill her! Kill the Aeternal!" Jiang Chen jumped about on Earth. He had not realized that Jiang Qingyue and Dragonturtle were not dead. Where could they have gone?

Kong Tianzhao turned his sword as divine energy continued to surge towards the tip of the blade. He grew solemn, as the Aeternals’ divine energy was the most troublesome type of power. After using divine energy, the Aeternals were able to ignore the laws of the universe, at least to a certain extent.

Ju Ji fell back. "Kong Tianzhao, you will have to pay a price for interfering in the Heavens Sect's affairs! Not even the Lord of Lighting can afford this price."

Kong Tianzhao’s expression grew cold. "He is him, while I am me."

With that, he slowly pulled his sword back and concentrated intently while staring at the edge. "The day will eventually come when I die at the hands of the Aeternals, but the person who kills me will not be you."

White light flashed again. The sword was instantly unsheathed again, and the attack shot towards Ju Ji, but she just snorted contemptuously. This man was genuinely trying to kill her, but unfortunately for him, he was incapable of doing so. His sword was unable to pierce her innate gift.

The tip of the sword was once again blocked by the divine energy boosted innate gift.

"Planar Conversion affects everything. No matter how powerful your sword might be, it can only suffer the effects of transformation," Ju Ji stated coldly.

Kong Tianzhao looked up. "Even a two-dimensional object has a center."

With that, a point appeared directly before the sword. It was formed by the sword piercing through the void, as well as where Ju Ji’s innate gift had been pierced. It was only a single point, but its appearance caused Ju Ji's expression to change drastically.

That solitary point seemed to be the center of the universe. There were no ripples whatsoever, but when that point appeared, even Whiteless God, who was stalling Lu Tianyi, looked over.

Lu Tianyi also glanced over in surprise. What sort of law of the universe had just appeared?

Throughout the Heavens Sect, countless people's eyes were instinctively drawn to this point, and it seemed as though it was seen and noticed by everyone.

"Impossible." Ju Ji was shocked.

There was a hiss as the white light passed through. Ju Ji remained standing in place, but her hands slowly dropped, and her eyes grew dull.

Kong Tianzhao appeared behind her and sheathed his sword.

As soon as the edge of the sword completely disappeared, a point appeared on Ju Ji's forehead as well, and then her body collapsed.

On Earth, Jiang Chen’s mouth fell open, and his eyes lit up. "You are amazing! If I can be as great as Uncle Kong, why would I need to worry about not being able to find a wife?

"Dad should’ve let Uncle Kong be my master all along. It’s such a waste for him to be my sister’s master."

Kong Tianzhao looked up at the Heavens Sect.
