Lu Yin’s expression turned solemn. If all of his secrets were revealed, then he would absolutely be of greater value than Shang Qing. Just his innate gift alone, the die, was enough to leave anyone intoxicated.
Beast howled and threw another punch at Lu Yin.
Yuhua Mavis could not face Beast’s third transformation head on, let alone Lu Yin. It would be extremely difficult for him to avoid this blow.
Lu Yin immediately used the Yu Secret Art to redirect Beast’s attack away, just as he had done within the space inside the giant eyes.
Beast stepped forward once again and slammed its fist down yet again.
This time, Lu Yin used the Astral Chessboard to move away.
After reappearing some distance away, Lu Yin’s only thought was to flee. However, Beast’s physical power was too monstrous, and it caught up to Lu Yin in no time at all. The distance that he had created with the Ce secret technique was easily covered, and Beast smacked down at Lu Yin’s head yet again.
This time, stars appeared and revolved around Lu Yin’s body. 726 stars rotated about him, and Beast’s movement slowed in Lu Yin’s eyes. He was barely able to make out the corpse king’s movements and narrowly avoided the blow as a result. However, the wind from the fist still struck Lu Yin’s arm, causing a massive wound to instantly open up as Lu Yin was sent flying into the mountainside.
Beast grabbed at Lu Yin, but at that moment, a puff of white smoke wafted by and yanked Lu Yin away. Gu Xiao’er was standing some distance away, his face extremely pale from fright. However, he still gritted his teeth and tossed Lu Yin down to the sea.
Silver grinned once again, and his butterfly knife cut a beautiful arc through the air as it slashed at Gu Xiao’er.
Gu Xiao’er panicked and used his white smoke to deflect the incoming blade. However, the blade cleanly cut through the smoke and opened a wound on Gu Xiao’er’s throat, almost slicing his head completely off.
Gu Xiao’er was extremely startled, and he hurriedly brought out more smoke and enveloped himself within it, the same as how he had dealt with Beast before.
Beast reacted by leaping down and slashing its claws at Lu Yin, who had been violently thrown down to the sea.
This time, a flicker of black and white light appeared that slashed at Beast.
Beast did not avoid this flicker. Instead, it recklessly allowed the black and white ball to strike its body, though to no effect.
Black and White went pale upon seeing that their joint attack was completely ineffective.
Lu Yin shouted at the twins, “Get away!”
An astral chessboard again appeared beneath his feet, and he vanished in a different direction.
Beast growled and immediately changed directions to chase after Lu Yin.
Silver groaned as he smacked his forehead. “What a massive headache. Captain, for someone who’s barely cultivated for twelve years, you’re actually able to evade capture from a thrice transformed corpse king! You really are a treasure!”
Lu Yin’s body broke through the surface of the sea, and he sank down towards the seabed. Beast dove into the water and raised an arm towards Lu Yin. At that moment, Lu Yin turned around and used the Vacuum Palm, but the attack was nullified by Beast’s own attack. Lu Yin’s attack was clearly inferior to Beast’s, and he received another massive blow to his stomach, causing him to nearly vomit out his organs.
Beast drew closer and swung its claws at Lu Yin once again.
With a wave of his arm, Lu Yin activated the Teleportation Formation.
Beast was thrown a thousand meters away by the array. It raised its head and stared at Lu Yin with bloodshot eyes. With just one step, it closed the distance once more. Such a distance was completely meaningless for such a monster.
Silver was perched atop a mountain as he observed Lu Yin’s fight with Beast. “Was that a sourcebox array? Unbelievable!”
Lu Yin racked his brains to find a means to escape from Beast, but Beast was simply too powerful. Even Yuhua Mavis and the others had not been a match for Beast when they joined forces, which meant that Lu Yin was only barely able to evade the corpse king’s attacks. Out of the entire younger generation, there were not many within the Human Domain who would be able to evade capture for so long, and Beast would eventually catch Lu Yin.
Lu Yin grew exasperated, and he rolled his die, hoping to get four pips: Timestop.
He was not hoping for much, but even using the Timestop Space as an opportunity to recover from his wounds and recharge his secret techniques would be enough to buy him some more time.
If the people on the golden screen had been able to see Lu Yin’s performance at this time, their jaws would definitely drop. Lu Yin had managed to avoid being captured for so long, which was something that none of them could be confident of accomplishing.
Right when Lu Yin’s die appeared, a massive white claw appeared and grabbed Lu Yin, causing both Lu Yin and the claw to disappear.
Beast was stunned, and it stared around in utter confusion.
Silver seemed vexed, and he said, “Let’s go. Shaman God has made a move. This mission is a failure.”
At that moment, the eerie-looking doll vanished from outside the Mountain and Seas Zone.
Mu En and the others had their senses return to normal, and they stared at the Mountain and Seas Zone in unison, only to realize that the golden screen had vanished.
Highsage Shenwei looked around and soon caught sight of Black and White, but Lu Yin was nowhere to be found.
“Neohuman Alliance, do you wish to be hunted down by the entire universe?” Mu En roared in a threatening tone.
Shaman God’s voice echoed through the air, chilling all those who heard it. “Judicial Commissioner Mu En, it’s actually the opposite. Not us, but you.”
Mu En frowned. “Just your Neohuman Alliance alone dares to wreak havoc against the entire Human Domain?”
“Heuheuheu, just wait and see. Very soon, all of you will become our slaves and will be changed. I can barely wait to see how that will turn out, but that day isn’t too far away. Oh right, please take good care of our little Shang Qing, as that Tri-Yang Technique is something that we must definitely get a hold of. Heuheuheu.” Shaman God vanished after speaking those words.
“Wait! Where is Lu Yin? Did you guys capture him? He’s part of our Eversky Island! Master will not let you guys off!” Highsage Shenwei yelled, but he could no longer find any trace of Shaman God.
At this same time, within the ancient Honor Zone, there was a boundless continent, and on that continent, there was a strange place known as the Land of Creation. This was where the Semi-Progenitor, Arch-Elder Zen, resided.
The moment Shaman God landed within the Mountain and Seas Zone, Arch-Elder Zen opened his eyes as an enormous hand crushed down upon the Land of Creation. This hand covered the entirety of the Land of Creation, even the sky above.
Arch-Elder Zen stood up and called out, “Ancient Skygod of the Seven Skygods.”
“It’s been a long time, Arch-Elder Zen.” A loud voice boomed across the Land of Creation.
Arch-Elder Zen bemusedly replied, “Ancient Skygod, you have always avoided me, so why have you come of your own volition now?”
“I haven’t fought in a while, and I wish to break through and become a Progenitor after this fight.”
Arch-Elder Zen chuckled. “A mere corpse king like you wishes to become a Progenitor? Preposterous!”
“The magic of a Progenitor is that every living thing has a chance of reaching that level. Compared to you humans, the astral beasts and even the corpse kings like us have a better chance of reaching that realm. Arch-Elder Zen, your knowledge is seriously limited,” Ancient Skygod replied as he sent down another palm to crush the entire Honor Zone. Tremors ran through the land, and the shockwaves even spread out into the Neoverse.
Arch-Elder Zen’s gaze turned cold. “Your true motive is not to break through, but rather to attack the Land of Creation. Who revealed this location to you?”
“So it turns out that you’re not that stupid. I thought that you would have already turned senile from age.”
“There is a traitor within the Hall of Honor working for the Neohuman Alliance! Who is it?” Arch-Elder Zen raised his voice as the sky over the Honor Zone instantly changed.
A massive change was taking place within the Honor Zone, not just the Land of Creation. Four of the Seven Skygods were assailing four different, important locations within the Honor Zone.
The ones who attacked were not just the Seven Skygods, as droves of the Neohuman Alliance’s corpse kings also appeared.
All of this happened without any preemptive signs, and it was by far and large the greatest attack that the Neoverse had faced. Even the Sixth Mainland’s invasion had not shaken the Honor Zone, but it was currently embroiled in chaos.
The Neohuman Alliance was the enemy of all humanity within the Human Domain, and no matter how they had been hunted throughout the countless years, they had still managed to thrive in the darkness and expand their forces. Now that they were finally revealing their power, chaos rocked the Honor Zone to its very core.
Many powerhouses from the Hall of Honor heeded the call to duty and appeared to fend off these attacks. Even members from the Cosmic Sect, Gods’ Origin, and the Seven Courts showed up to defend against the Neohuman Alliance.
Disrupting the balance in the Honor Zone would shift the balance of the entire Neoverse as well as the Cosmic Sea.
Arch-Elder Zen personally ordered everyone in the Neoverse to fight against the Neohuman Alliance. Just like that, a war of epic proportions erupted.
At the border of the Neoverse, there was a place known as Stellar Tempest, and all year round, it was enveloped by violent storms of stellular energy.
The sheer brutality of these gales were enough to bar a Semi-Progenitor from passing through, and it separated the Human Domain from what lay beyond.
At this moment, a figure appeared rather near the Stellar Tempest along with several other ancient beings.
The figure who had appeared first was shrouded in darkness. His eyes were distinctive; they were bright, charming, but also deep like an abyss. His pupils were noticeably formed from three intersecting black lines that formed a star that looked like an asterisk. He was one of the Seven Skygods, Blackless God.
“Blackless God, how dare you have the gall to appear in the Stellar Tempest Zone!” an ancient powerhouse roared, causing the void to crack from the pressure of the voice. This powerhouse’s power level far exceeded a million.
Several other powerhouses surrounded Blackless God as well.
Blackless God looked at his surroundings. “Look at all of you, hiding in the Stellar Tempest Zone. I knew that you geezers weren’t dead yet. Nobody will be able to stop our Neohuman Alliance today!”
When he finished talking, a black mist emerged from his body, and an indescribable wave of energy swept through the surroundings, causing the aged powerhouses’ hair to all stand on end.
“This aura—a Progenitor?” someone exclaimed.
“Impossible! The Fifth Mainland has no Progenitors. Blackless God, how did you do this?” someone else asked.
Blackless God chuckled with a raspy voice. He then closed his eyes, and when they reopened, his gaze had completely changed. It was like they were staring at two different people.
Everyone in the area stared at Blackless God alone.
Blackless God ignored everyone as he glanced around. Another wave of peculiar energy flowed through the area yet again. This time, everyone, including Arch-Elder Zen and the Seven Skygods, felt a chill run down their spine. Blackless God sighed and revealed a complicated expression. “This familiar place… How long has it been? No one can stop us now.”
“You’re not Blackless God! Who are you?” someone cried out.
Arch-Elder Zen looked towards the Stellar Tempest Zone, and his pupils dilated, seemingly filled with an incredible tension at that moment.
The entire Neoverse was trembling, but only those who had reached a certain level were able to understand just how terrifying the pressure from this energy was.
Blackless God raised his head and looked down in contempt. “We are the perfect race! Humans are a weak race, so you can all die now.”
After saying that, he waved a hand and caused several of the old powerhouses to stagger backwards from his power. Blackless God did not actually attack anyone; instead, his energy was directed towards the Stellar Tempest.
“No! He’s going to tear open the Stellar Tempest!” The people around were all terrified, but they had no way to stop Blackless God. They could do nothing else besides watch on as Blackless God began to unseal the Stellar Tempest. At this same time, the winds violently warped, as if there was another powerful entity on the same level as Blackless God who was opening a path through the Stellar Tempest from the other side.
Nobody could understand the fear that these old powerhouses were feeling at this moment. They had lived since time immemorial, and history might not even have records of them. They had all seen death, and they had all long since become apathetic to it. The fear in them at this moment was not for themselves, but rather for the entire Human Domain, and for the Fifth Mainland itself.
What lay beyond the storm winds was a truth that history had once attempted to bury.
