Chapter 3022: The Thermometer Of Life

Lu Yin desperately tried to pull out something that could block the attack, but all of a sudden, a turtle shell appeared in front of him.

It’s appearance startled him, but he saw that it was indeed a turtle shell. He first thought of Dragonturtle, but he would never move in front of Lu Yin to block this attack. Dragonturtle was not suicidal.

The beam struck the turtle shell, and shockingly, the attack was blocked. After that, an all too familiar power descended. The sky itself was pressed down as pressure spread across the entire Scourge.

It was voidforce energy.

Someone stepped in front of Lu Yin. “We’ve been in seclusion for too long, and all of you have had a difficult time of things. You can leave this to me now.”

Lu Yin’s eyes widened. “Lord Xu?”

Sovereign Dou Sheng swayed on his feet as his energy drained away. He had been hanging on by the thinnest thread, and finally, a powerful ally had arrived. This was what the Sovereign had been waiting for.

Lord Xu, the ruler of the Voidforce Universe, was someone powerful enough to participate in the battle where the Great Sovereign had led the top powerhouses of the Sixverse Association against True God and the Seven Skygods. While Sovereign Dou Sheng had mentioned that neither Lord Xu nor Mu Shen were aware of Aeternus’s true strength, their ignorance did not alter their formidable strength.

The Voidlord’s arrival let everyone release sighs of relief, as they had all felt quite outmatched against Shao Yin.

On the side of Aeternus, Shao Yin stopped attacking, and his expression grew. “Xu Jiea.”

Lord Xu stood there, his hands clasped behind him as the turtle shell floated in front of him. He looked quite out of place, yet he exuded an air of being completely unshakeable. “Shao Yin, I never expected you to be capable of reaching such heights. You hid yourself well.”

Shao Yin answered with an arrogant sneer, “So what if you are here? Do you think that you can save them? First save yourself!”

As Shao Yin spoke, another beam shot out, this time attacking Lord Xu.

The man’s eyes flickered. He had to admit that merging yin and yang to open up a new path offered formidable power and impressive sequence particles. It was indeed possible that Shao Yin might have reached a level where he was no weaker than even the Seven Skygods. This would not be an easy battle.

Voidforce energy surged out, and the turtle shell rose up to stop the beam.

There was a boom as the beam slammed into the turtle shell, and the ripples that spread out from the impact tore the void apart and shook the Scourge. Both the sky above and the ground below trembled.

Only then did Lu Yin realize just how terrifyingly powerful the Voidlord was. For a moment, Lu Yin had the impression that Lord Xu was using an ocean to feed a river.

While Shao Yin was not as powerful as Lord Xu, his sequence particles managed to continuously suppress the turtle shell, which prevented Lord Xu from advancing.

The Voidlord’s eyes blazed with murder. They were at the entrance to the Scourge, which meant that Aeternus could send more powerhouses to join the battle at any moment. The humans needed to quickly deal with Shao Yin, or else they might never get another chance to end him.

This thought caused the old man’s expression to grow more determined, and he raised a hand. His voidforce energy surged, as though he intended to flood the Scourge and replace all of the energy within it.

At that moment, divine energy streamed across the Scourge to the entrance, where it then pushed against Lord Xu’s power.

The old man gritted his teeth and tore the void open to establish a connection to the Voidforce Universe. He then drew on the energy of the entire universe, as all of it was his. As he did so, all the Void Supremas from the Voidforce Universe, such as Xu Wuwei, Xu Wuji, Void Heng, and Xu Leng, took action. They channeled their own voidforce energy towards Lord Xu and the Scourge, helping their ruler.

Lord Xu pressed his hand down.

Shao Yin felt puzzled. He was confident that he could not be suppressed by any amount of voideforce energy. The cultivators of the Voidforce Universe had a natural advantage against enemies from other universes due to how they were able to manipulate a greater amount of energy than what they personally possessed. However, at the sequence powerhouse level, just how much more voidforce energy could Lord Xu wield?

“You’ve grown old, Xu Jiea.” Shao Yin stepped forward, his dark-green and blazingly bright energy surrounding his body as they intertwined. His unified energy then shot into the sky, piercing the veil that the Voidlord had dropped over the battle. A hole was opened up, and then forcibly expanded. Shao Yin intended to overpower Lord Xu’s voidforce energy with sequence particles.

Lu Yin was startled to see this development. It was clear to him that Shao Yin’s sequence particles were in no way inferior to those used by Undying God or Shaman God. It was no wonder why Shao Yin was so confident, even though he was facing the Voidlord. It was understandable why Shao Yin had even claimed that he would destroy the entire Sixverse Association. He truly was as strong as the Seven Skygods.

Lord Xu frowned. “Old or not, I’ll still kill you.”

The turtle shell produced a howl as it swept towards the captains.

Woof!

The shell pushed Skydog back, and Marquis Wu and Marquis Wang were also forced to retreat. Zhong Pan underwent a Red Eyes Transformation and punched at the turtle shell with a terrifying amount of physical force. A light flashed around the light, producing a gust that erupted from it and swept out in every direction.

Lu Yin instantly focused on it. “A Channeling Diagram?”

It was not that exact sourcebox array, but it was quite similar. The turtle shell had essentially just done a spatial transference. Still, the turtle shell did have a sourcebox array.

For that moment, everyone was focused on the thermometer, as its temperature had just risen to forty-three degrees.

That kind of fever would kill ordinary humans, or at the very least, cause severe brain damage.

Shao Yin wailed as he clutched his head. He beat against the thermometer as he endured the excruciating agony.

He was experiencing the torture that an ordinary person would suffer if they had a high fever, and the experience was unbearable for Shao Yin.

Sovereign Dou Sheng let out a breath. This thermometer had even injured Ancient God. There was no need to even consider Shao Yin.

Far away, Sovereign Lotus clenched her teeth. She desperately wanted to tell Lord Xu to stop. Shao Yin was crucial to the Great Sovereign’s plans, and those plans could not be ruined at this juncture.

Lu Yin also understood this, and he turned to look at Sovereign Lotus, who was staring at him. Their eyes met, and they each knew what the other was thinking. Even so, how could they stop things at this point? Any attempt on their part to interfere would be too obvious, and it would clearly demonstrate that the Sixverse Association did not want Shao Yin to die.

Even so, Lu Yin was not too eager to stop Lord Xu. Shao Yin had openly threatened the Sixverse Association, and regardless of the potential damage that he could do to True God, Lu Yin was worried about what Shao Yin might do to the Heavens Sect. It might be better for the man to die.

“Progenitor Xi–!” Shao Yin screamed with all his might.

A white light suddenly appeared, and it sliced across the sky, traveling through the void. It was a sword slash aimed at Lord Xu. His turtle shell appeared in front of him to stop the attack, but when the slash struck with a clang, Lord Xu’s body actually shook, and he was forced to take a step back. This was something that not even Shao Yin had been able to achieve.

“In the sky!” Arrow Sage shouted.

Everyone looked up. At some point in time, white mountains and rivers had appeared in the sky. They looked like a reflection of the earth below, and they pressed down on everyone’s heads.

Lu Yin’s expression changed. “Whiteless God.”

Sovereign Dou Sheng, Sovereign Lotus, and the others grew solemn. Was Whiteless God about to attack them?

Of the Seven Skygods, none were more mysterious than Whiteless God. It was rumored that she controlled Aeterna, the list of human traitors. She had never openly attacked humanity, and yet the damage that she had caused over the years surpassed that of any other Skygod, and it far surpassed all that Cheng Kong had done.

If given a choice, the Sixverse Association would rather kill Whiteless God than three other Skygods. Such was the threat that Whiteless God posed.

While Whiteless God had never attacked, that did not mean that she was weak. On the contrary, the more mysterious one of the Seven Skygods was, the more terrifying they became.

With Whiteless God’s appearance, as well as the sword slash that had arrived from within the Scourge, Lord Xu knew that it was impossible to kill Shao Yin today. Trying to force the matter would only cause a major battle to erupt between the two sides.

Progenitor Xi emerged from the Scourge, her hand raised to release another slash. The Thermometer of Life disappeared, releasing Shao Yin. He gasped for air, still down on one knee. His head was plastered with sweat, and his pupils were dilated. He would never be able to forget what he had just experienced.

Lord Xu lamented, “I was just one step away.”

“Couldn’t you have moved faster?” Sovereign Dou Sheng could not resist asking.

Lord Xu was left speechless. After a moment, he replied, “Raising the temperature can’t be done instantly, and each degree needs to be passed consecutively. Do you think it’s that easy to raise the temperature?”
