Chapter 3028: The Terror Of Astral Anura
Bang!
Lu Tianyi was forced back by Ancient God, even as the man suffered attacks from Progenitor Chen and Progenitor Ku. Ancient God was also forced back.
Lu Tianyi landed on the ground, clutching his shoulder. Ancient God’s palm strike had not been light, and it had rendered Lu Tianyi’s left arm immobile for the moment. The man even fell to his knees and coughed up blood. VịSit no(v)3lb/!n(.)com for new novels
Behind him happened to be the battlefield where Wang Fan was facing off against a Progenitor-level corpse king.
Progenitor Chen and Progenitor Ku reached Ancient God and attacked. Using his Wielder-realm domain and battleforce, the Skygod swept past the two summons, intent on landing a killing blow and eliminating Lu Tianyi.
Progenitor Chen used Inverse Step to create a field of chaotic time and space. As he did so, the Scourge and the sky above it started to warp and twist, shocking Lu Yin. When he used Inverse Step to create a field of chaotic time and space, the effect had been confined to a certain region. However, when the summoned Progenitor Chen did the same thing, the field of chaos even reached the distant temple beneath the black Mother Tree.
Inverse Step disrupted Ancient God’s movements and forced him to show himself. Even so, his hand was still shooting at Lu Tianyi. The purplish-black substance condensed in the void, forming another Prison Suppressing Platform that was about to fall upon Lu Tianyi.
Lu Tianyi looked up as his Champions’ Stage appeared before him. It shot up to slam into the Prison Suppressing Platform.
There was a loud bang, and the ground nearby shattered as a terrifying shockwave swept out again.
Lu Tianyi had been seriously injured, and the Prison Suppressing Platform was forcing his Champions’ Stage down bit by bit. At this moment, a bit of land suddenly took form and shot towards the Prison Suppressing Platform, pushing it away. It was Forgotten Ruins.
Wang Fan had taken action.
Lu Tianyi looked back, his eyes landing on Wang Fan.
The man exchanged glances with Lu Tianyi. “If I die here, can the Lu family forgive the Wang family’s crimes?”
Lu Tianyi answered in a solemn tone. “The Wang family’s crimes are yours alone. Regardless of whether you live or die, provided that you give your all in this battle, my Lu family will not hold a grudge.”
“Alright.” Wang Fan leaped forward, using Four Arts: Bear Stalwart to launch a palm strike against the Prison Suppressing Platform. He spat out blood as his body crashed to the ground, but the attack had successfully pushed the Prison Suppressing Platform slightly to the side. At the same time, the Forgotten Ruins shattered, and it fell to the ground like a piece of broken earth.
Lu Tianyi’s Champions’ Stage gained strength, and it suddenly pushed the Prison Suppressing Platform away.
Ancient God bellowed, “The Wang family could have been spared because of the merits that Wang Miaomiao and Wang Xiaoyu have earned with Aeternus! Wang Fan, your actions have sealed your family’s doom!”
Wang Fan fell to the ground, spitting out blood. “Even if my Wang family acted against the Lu family, it was never done for Aeternus.”
“You’re seeking death!” Ancient God glared at Wang Fan, who suddenly let out a cry of agony, though no one could understand what exactly Ancient God had done.
Lu Tianyi threw a Hidden Needle at Ancient God.
Stars spun behind Ancient God as Progenitor Chen’s Cosmic Art erupted, stirring the starry sky.
Progenitor Ku rushed forward, focusing on the explosive power of the Cosmic Art. Right when the summon was about to reach Ancient God, his withered body that had absorbed the power of the Cosmic Art fully recovered as he threw a punch at Ancient God.
Ancient God raised a hand and released his own punch with a bang.
The void exploded yet again. Progenitor Ku’s punch, which contained both his own strength and Progenitor Chen’s, collided with Ancient God’s punch, which embodied the terrifying might of the human who had blazed the path of physical cultivation. The collision of fists was not merely a contest of strength, but rather an explosion of unmatched destructive power, and it cut through the Scourge.
Everyone stopped whatever they were doing at that moment and instead moved to protect themselves.
Lu Yin’s eye twitched. These attacks far exceeded the power that he could unleash by confining a hundred of his most powerful punches with time. The two were not even in the same league. Even so, it was clear that neither the summoned Progenitor Chen nor Progenitor Ku had used any sequence particles, and neither had Ancient God. Despite that, they had all been able to unleash such power.
The earth-shattering collision of fists captured everyone’s attention.
As he spoke, there was a surge of death energy, and the Forgotten Ruins rose up from beneath his feet. They merged with the death energy and spread out.
Lu Tianyi pointed a finger forward as he stepped into the Forgotten Ruins, instantly cracking it. However, death energy shot upwards, twisting about like ghostly shadows that constantly hindered Lu Tianyi’s attack.
Even sequence powerhouses would struggle against Lu Tianyi’s finger, but Wang Fan was not trying to block it. Instead, he was simply using his death energy to slightly stall the Forgotten Ruins.
Lu Tianyi pressed forward, shattering more of the Forgotten Ruins with every step that he took, and yet each step was also slowed by death energy.
Wang Fan lacked the strength of a sequence powerhouse, but by combining the God of Death’s death energy with the Wang family’s battle techniques, he was successfully slowing Lu Tianyi down. The man seized the opportunity to race away, fully aware that he could only delay Lu Tianyi. As soon as Lu Tianyi used his Law of Undoing, there was no doubt that Wang Fan would die.
Lu Tianyi’s finger fell and completely shattered the Forgotten Ruins.
Ancient God’s attack arrived at that moment. In the end, Lu Tianyi’s true opponent was still Ancient God.
Wang Fan breathed a sigh of relief. He could no longer fight in the current battle. The moment he stepped forward again, he would be targeted by everyone from the Sixverse Association.
Suddenly, he felt a terrible sense of danger. Someone appeared in front of him, and Wang Fan saw Lu Xiaoxuan throw a palm strike. The Progenitor had no time to react to an attack that moved at the speed of time. All he could do was endure the attack.
Lu Yin’s palm landed on Wang Fan’s chest, which exploded with death energy that scattered in every direction.
Lu Yin was taken aback when he saw the amount of death energy that existed in Wang Fan’s body. The Progenitor had used the battle technique that he had inherited from his Mountain and Sea to create a clone that cultivated death energy. That allowed Wang Fan to personally cultivate death energy even after Specter Progenitor was killed.
Death energy blocked Lu Yin’s palm strike, which kept Wang Fan alive.
Still, the man was severely injured.
Wang Fan went flying, spitting out blood as he glared venomously at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin’s eyes remained cold and indifferent. If one attack did not kill Wang Fan, then two would.
“Yaaaaaaa!!!!”
Suddenly, a shrill, baby-like scream echoed across the battlefield. Unbeknownst to all, Lord Xu had successfully trapped Astral Anura within the Thermometer of Life, and the temperature had started rising. While forty-five degrees might be fatal to ordinary humans, would such a temperature mean anything to a species like Astral Anura’s, even if he was trapped within the thermometer?
Everyone stared.
Lu Yin could not stop himself from also watching. If the Voidlord could kill Astral Anura, it would be the greatest victory that humanity could hope to gain against the Aeternals in the current battle.
At that moment, Lu Yin turned to stare at Progenitor Xi. If the woman interfered again, Lord Xu would definitely fail, just like when he had captured Shao Yin.
However, Progenitor Xi showed no sign of wanting to get involved. She was trapped within Progenitor Smoke’s mist and was not moving at all.
High above in the sky, Astral Anura’s screams rang out louder and louder. Steam was rising from his body, and the lotus leaf that he held was quickly withering. The chain of coins around the toad’s neck trembled violently as he shrieked, “You have angered me, humans! You have angered me...!”
As Astral Anura screamed, his golden skin transformed. It took on a mottled color, his straw hat became a deep red, and his lotus leaf morphed into a steel fork. The coins around his neck also transformed, and they became skulls of various sizes that belonged to various creatures. There were clearly human skulls among them.
After Astral Anura finished his metamorphosis, a chill fell upon everyone on the battlefield, and the ground of the Scourge went from gray to blood-red.
Astral Anura’s eyes glowed a fierce red as he raised his fork and thrust it forward.
Lord Xu was startled, and his turtle shell rose to protect him.
The fork pierced right through the Thermometer of Life, stabbing at the Voidlord. The attack was blocked by the turtle shell, which produced a loud bang and sent ripples through the air that became red waves that spread across the entire sky above the Scourge. Most of the cosmic doors shattered, and the Hollow appeared above everyone’s heads as the sky took on a deep red tint.
