Chapter 3154: Six Paths Of Reincarnation Realm

High in the sky, Jiang Feng let out a hearty laugh. The Ancient Lightning Locust did not hate the Lord of Lightning, or even Whitecloud City specifically. It hated his golden lightning.

As soon as Shao Yin replicated the lightning, the Ancient Lightning Locust had targeted him. It was not a surprise to see the beast focus on the man.

In the distance, Progenitor Xi could only shake her head, feeling a bit sorry for Shao Yin. Of all the powers to borrow, why did he choose Jiang Feng's lightning? Didn't he realize Jiang Feng is pursued by the Ancient Lightning Locust? Using that man’s power was simply courting death.

Shao Yin had practically been crippled.

He lay deep underground, his entire body burned and broken. He was incapable of moving, or even thinking clearly. He had been charred by the blue lightning.

Mu Ke, Qing Ping, and Mu Xie exchanged glances.

This had not been any part of the plan. They had been told to force Shao Yin close to the black Mother Tree, which had seemed feasible. However, the man had been left half-dead, and was unable to even try to escape. How could they possibly push Shao Yin towards the black Mother Tree?

If they did not press the attack, their actions and intentions would be too obvious. However, if they did attack, Shao Yin would not survive.

The three felt confused, as they had never been placed in such a situation before.

At that moment, a figure burst out of one of the lakes of divine energy, and it moved straight for Shao Yin. Mu Ke moved to attack, but was stopped by Qing Ping. The three men watched as the figure grabbed Shao Yin, and then raced off towards the black Mother Tree.

Qing Ping stared at the figure, recognizing the person as Marquis Wu, whose name was Hui Wu.

A faint red glow covered Hui Wu's body. It was the mark of divine energy.

He had been submerged in the lake of divine energy as a punishment announced by Progenitor Xi.

Everyone was surprised to see Hui Wu carry Shao Yin towards the black Mother Tree.

"What is he doing?"

"After him!" Mu Ke commanded in a low voice. He swung his saber, slashing at the ground in front of Hui Wu. Regardless of Hui Wu's intentions at this moment, no matter if he was trying to help Shao Yin or Mu Ke and the others, their goal seemed feasible at this moment.

Qing Ping watched things unfold, his expression conflicted.

Hui Wu had finally been discovered as a human spy in Aeternus, so why had he not left with Lu Yin when there had been a chance? What was he up to this time? Was he helping humanity, or helping Shao Yin?

Not even Qing Ping could make sense of Hui Wu's actions at this moment.

Also at this time, the Ancient Lightning Locust realized that Shao Yin no longer posed any threat, so the creature’s attention returned to Jiang Feng, and it flailed its massive tail at the man.

Jiang Feng also saw that Hui Wu was taking Shao Yin to the black Mother Tree, and realized that it was time for him to take action.

He started moving towards the black Mother Tree, shouting, "Yong Heng, I’m here again! Don’t you want what I have? Come and take it!"

The Ancient Lightning Locust let out a roar behind the man, and started chasing Jiang Feng towards the black Mother Tree.

Blackless God’s eyebrows rose. "Jiang Feng, I am your opponent."

A figure stepped out from within the black Mother Tree. It was none other than True God.

True God ignored the Shao Yin and all that was happening around the man. True God’s focus was entirely on the golden lightning that Jiang Feng controlled. "Jiang Feng, you still don’t understand. There are things I thought you would have comprehended by now."

"Comprehended what? That you want to annihilate humanity?" Jiang Feng laughed. “Back on Earth, powerful people brought about despair, and yet I still led humanity through it.

Shao Yin was unable to control his body as he drifted upwards. His vision blurred, until all he could see clearly were the Great Sovereign’s eyes as she stared at him with unmatched power, but no emotions.

So, this was the truth; he had only ever been a mere pawn.

Boom

There was a resounding explosion, and Shao Yin's body disintegrated. Beams of light suddenly connected to each other through the void. In an instant, six pillars of light shot upwards and downwards, surrounding the black Mother Tree to form a massive circular column that completely enveloped the black Mother Tree. These pillars connected the heavens and the earth, each of them extending out of sight to create an enormous construct out of light.

Not only was the black Mother Tree within the construct, so was True God and the Ancient Lightning Locust.

In the middle of the First Scourge, Progenitor Xi's expression changed drastically. Her sword slashed at the black Mother Tree as she tried to cut through the pillars of light, but the attack failed to make so much as a dent.

Blackless God joined her, as well as Ancient God and Arrow God, but none of their attacks could harm the pillars in the slightest bit.

Within the pillars that surrounded the black Mother Tree, True God placed a hand on one of the pillars. There was the sound of thunder, and the pillar trembled before ultimately cracking.

Up in the sky, Jiang Feng's face fell. Had they failed?

Mu Ke, Lu Tianyi, and many others stopped fighting, as every eye turned to look at the black Mother Tree.

If this failed, the entire battle would be for nothing.

While most of the people fighting had not been informed of the exact reason for the battle, it had become clear that the goal was to trap True God.

If he could break free so easily, their efforts would be nothing but a joke.

Suddenly, the Great Sovereign appeared beside the pillar. Only a hundred meters separated her from True God. It was the width of the pillar.

"Tai Hong, is this your plan? For this, you exiled the Lu family and allowed Shao Yin to run rampant?" True God asked. He sounded perfectly calm, as though he was not the one trapped.

The Great Sovereign's expression remained cold. "There are things that require a price to be paid."

"And this, what significance does it have?" True God asked in the same level tone.

The Great Sovereign slowly moved down, before finally merging with the pillar. She sat at the bottom of the pillar of light. "You are my obsession. Only by killing you can I overcome Dukkha. However, killing you is impossible.

"This is the only way, Yong Heng. I'm gambling everything on this. Either I die in this Six Paths of Reincarnation Realm, or it will slowly strip your power from you. Either one will take a long time, but I can wait."

True God clasped his hands behind his back. "Are you so certain that this can strip my power?"

The Great Sovereign said nothing and simply closed her eyes.

True God raised his hand to touch the pillar again, but this time, he was unable to so much as shake the pillar. All of the cracks that he had made earlier were already healed.

With the Great Sovereign sitting within the pillar, not even True God could break it.

"I never thought that the proud woman of the past could be so patient. Tai Hong, I have to admire you, but even if you manage to trap me, so what? Can you deal with my Aeternus’s Three Pillars and Six Skies? Can you accept the grace of the heavens?" he asked in a resonating voice.

At this moment, the Ancient Lightning Locust, which had been trapped within the pillars of light along with True God, slowly swam out. It was completely unaffected by the trap.

True God chuckled. "So it really does target only me. Tai Hong, how long did you spend preparing for this?"

The Great Sovereign’s eyes opened. "Did you learn to spout such nonsense from Tai Chu? Your tongue flaps too much."

High above in the sky, Jiang Feng sighed. He had hoped that the Six Paths of Reincarnation Realm would also trap the Ancient Lightning Locust, but it seemed he had been too optimistic.
