As soon as Lu Yin finished speaking, a golden light appeared, and a Champions’ Stage rose up from underground to slam into Tian Ci.
The man instinctively squeezed, trying to crush Shan Zheng and Xu Wuji’s skulls, but Lu Yin had already arrived with Inverse Step. Lightstream appeared in the form of a small boat, and it sailed through space to reverse time by one second. The Champions’ stage forced Tian Ci back, and Shan Zheng and Xu Wuji were both saved. While they had managed to survive, they were both unconscious.
Lu Yuan stepped out on the golden light. "That’s right, I'm that vile. What of it? We’re just facing a few beasts."
Hongyan Mavis, Sovereign Dou Sheng, Lu Tianyi, and the Heavens Sect’s other experts all appeared one after another.
As they revealed themselves, True God ordered, "Aeternals, assist the Boundary Guardians. Kill them all."
Ancient God was the first to step forward, already throwing a punch at Lu Yuan. The Skygod was singling out Lu Yuan, who was similarly focused on Ancient God. "Musclehead, let's fight to the death!"
"Loam, you're no match for me."
"Bah, still as shameless as ever."
Arrow God loosed an arrow, and Sovereign Dou Sheng swung his golden cudgel to block it. The two instantly became locked in combat. Only the Sovereign could keep Arrow God occupied. If she were allowed to attack freely, she would end up controlling the entire battlefield.
Forgotten Ruins God let out a flirty little laugh as she released her Forgotten Ruins. She was targeting Lu Yin. "Little Lu Yin, will you play with big sister?"
Lu Yin did not move, but a surge of immeasurable voidforce energy shot forward forth. "Forgotten Ruins God, right? I’ll be your opponent."
The woman pouted. "Old man, this big sister doesn't like you."
In an instant, battle erupted between the Heavens Sect and the Aeternals. Once again, they were fighting in the Second Scourge. This was where Aeternus had previously lost Xu Jin, and there was no telling how many powerhouses would meet their ends in the Second Scourge during this battle.
Tian Ci was staring at Lu Yin. "Have you realized it? Even if you don't save the Lost Clan, humanity is still doomed. Your master, that old geezer Mu, is also from another megaverse."
Lu Yin stared at Tian Ci. "I promise that you will die a horrible death."
"Before that, I'll make sure that you’re dead." Tian Ci moved to attack Lu Yin. As an Ortuser, it should be easy to kill a mere Semi-Progenitor. Tian Ci might not know how Tian Fa had died, but he was certain that Lu Yin had not succeeded on his own.
At that moment, thunder cracked. The Lord of Lightning descended, his sword already drawn and slashing at Tian Ci.
Tian En's voice rang out, "Lord of Lightning, I invited you to join the Boundary Guardians, and yet you now act against us?"
Jiang Feng kept Tian Ci busy. The Lord of Lightning was entirely shrouded with lightning, as well as a purplish-black substance. "I don't want to become a beast."
Tian Ci's expression turned cold. "You're courting death!"
High above, Hongyan Mavis’s green grass was constantly fighting against the butterfly’s light. Hongyan Mavis was able to tell that there was clearly something wrong with the butterfly's light.
Tian Feng charged at Lu Yin, intending to seal him.
As the rock moved forward, slashes and sword qi swept across the Scourge; Mu Ke and Kong Tianzhao attacked in unison to stop Tian Feng.
Against an Ortuser, the laws of the universe had no effect. Mu Ke and Kong Tianzhao's abilities were already rendered useless. Patterns flashed across the surface of the stone that was Tian Feng, and both men were instantly sealed in place, completely unable to move. РaɴÔΒÈS
A massive sword dropped from the sky, as Supreme had attacked.
However, even the enormous mecha was instantly frozen in place.
"I serve the heavens, sealing all who oppose it! How can you hope to compete with me? As soon as I've sealed this child, I'll deal with the rest of you." Tian Feng again turned back to Lu Yin.
Di Qiong and Di Xia charged at Lu Yin from another direction, as the Dao Monarch was standing at the center of this battlefield.
In the Third Scourge, Wu Tian looked up in surprise. "They actually started fighting against the Boundary Guardians? The Fated One has already targeted him. Well, in that case, so be it!"
Tian En had tried to kill Progenitor Ku, Tian Feng had sealed Garan Zhiluo, and all the Boundary Guardians had worked together to attack the Origin Progenitor. The grudge that the Boundary Guardians had earned from humanity was enormous.
Tian Feng was still trembling. "So what if you're still alive? You'll just die today!"
"Who’s going to kill me? You? You four cowards who don’t have the courage to attempt to overcome Dukkha? Even if I'm not at an Ortuser, I'm not going to die at the hands of you four pieces of trash," Garan Zhiluo retorted, contempt oozing from her tired voice.
"Flora, are you okay?" Hongyan Mavis shouted.
From within the patterns that covered Tian Feng's surface, Garan Zhiluo's voice replied, "First Blood, just take care of yourself. You’re facing Tian En. That butterfly is the most insidious of them all! Don't let her deceive you. Watch out for her wings. Almost no one who’s not at least an Ortuser has any chance of escaping from her illusions. Always remember your pain.
"As for that one over there fighting against the lightning man, that’s Tian Ci. He’s the strongest of the Boundary Guardians and even has a mirebound artifact..."
Garan Zhiluo seemed to be quite well informed about the Boundary Guardians, and she constantly revealed information regarding the abilities of Tian Ci, Tian En, and Tian Feng, which caused the Boundary Guardians' expressions to grow increasingly grim.
The Lord of Lightning laughed heartily. With the information that they were receiving from Garan Zhiluo, humanity was finally confident that they could hold their ground, even against multiple Ortusers.
True God studied Tian Feng from the top of the black Mother Tree Feng as he thought to himself. Garan Zhiluo, huh? That woman once loved to dress herself up. She went mad whenever there was even a single strand of hair was out of place. So, she’s still alive? She’s been skinned and dismembered, and being disfigured like that must be the worst torture imaginable for her, and yet she still lives. Tai Chu, you really did train up an exceptional group of disciples.
If I didn’t have Gu Yizhi under my control, he would have never betrayed humanity.
However, it did not matter how much humanity struggled, as the outcome was already determined. There were certain things that could not be reversed. Humanity's struggle had only become a slightly larger splash in the river of time, but things would eventually settle down, and the river would flow quietly again.
Lu Yin stared intently at Tian Feng, and then he turned and continued towards the black Mother Tree, eventually leaping down under the ground.
He could not make much of a difference in the current battle. He alone was not enough to shift the tides of the battle, which was why he had decided to focus on becoming stronger.
Three pieces of Primaldust. No matter if Lu Yin used them himself or returned them to the Origin Progenitor, they would be extremely useful.
At this time, countless cosmic doors opened, connecting to the Heavens Sect, and a flood of corpse kings poured through them. The battle was not limited to just the Second Scourge, as it had spread to the Heavens Sect, the Perennial World, the Sixverse Association, and even more places.
Aeternus threw out all of their corpse kings at this moment, including even the last few frenzied corpses. All the Progenitor-level corpse kings and the peak powerhouses who had betrayed humanity were also sent out.
At the Heavens Sect, Arch-Elder Zen, Master Shan, and the other peak powerhouses fought with their full power.
Ancestor Tortoise pulled its head in, feeling slightly nervous. The jiao bared its fangs and claws. It looked incredibly intimidating, but in truth, it was just as nervous as Ancestor Tortoise. Both beasts were overwhelmed by the scale of the battle before them.
Things grew even worse when the Star Devourer appeared. The jiao instantly grew terribly anxious, as this gigantic creature seemed extremely strong.
In the Second Scourge, the Ancient Lightning Locust appeared, instantly targeting the Lord of Lightning, Jiang Feng.
The man felt helpless. This Ancient Lightning Locust always appeared at the worst moment, trying to cause trouble.
However, humanity had also gained an additional powerhouse: Progenitor Ku.
The Progenitor had been sent to a universe with an accelerated flow of time to recover more quickly. While he had not fully recovered yet, he was certainly capable of using Extremes Must Be Reversed.
Progenitor Ku arrived on the battlefield and went straight for the Ancient Lightning Locust. The beast released a burst of lightning, which rained down on Progenitor Ku. The man’s body withered up, but he simply endured the lightning before looking elsewhere on the battlefield. "Butterfly, it's time to settle the score between us."
