Chapter 3155: The Big Players
The Great Sovereign had spent uncountable years and incalculable effort to trap True God, which was a truly incredible feat. If her trap could simply confine any creature within it, she would have never allowed Shao Yin to exile the Lu family and made so many terrible sacrifices.
Her Six Paths of Reincarnation Realm targeted True God and True God alone. No other creature was affected by the trap.
Thunder rang out once more, and Progenitor Xi looked away. With True God and Tai Hong essentially taking each other out of the fight, the rest of the battle resumed.
Progenitor Xi had not anticipated that Tai Hong's plan would involve Shao Yin. The Great Sovereign had been underestimated.
Since humanity had clearly been preparing for this exact moment, there was no doubt that they had a strategy in mind for the battle afterwards.
At that moment, Lu Yuan appeared. His Champions' Stage shook the void. It was finally his turn to act.
Far away, Ancient God waved a hand, forcing Lord Xu back. The Skygod stepped into the sky to confront Lu Yuan. "Loam, has your injury healed?"
Lu Yuan stared at Ancient God. "Musclehead, why did you betray us? You must give me a reason today."
"There is no reason. If you insist on having one, then it's that the human body limits power too much. I couldn't see any hope of a breakthrough."
"That's not the reason I want to hear," Lu Yuan said as he threw a punch at Ancient God.The fist was casually deflected, as Ancient God raised his own fist and brought out his Wielder - Indestructible.
Boom!
The First Scourge quaked. Space collapsed, and the ground shattered. The resulting pressure of the two attacks sent shivers down Mu Ji's spine. This was the power of the Three Realms and Six Daos, and it was terrifying beyond belief. Even Mu Shen could barely approach the two men’s battle. However, this was also the level of strength that Mu Ji aspired to reach himself, and resolve blazed in his eyes. One day, he would reach that level.
Ancient God revealed the full extent of his dreadful strength, and it far surpassed what he had revealed during the previous battles in the First Scourge. This time, the man brought out his sequence particles.
At the same moment that the black Mother Tree was sealed within the Six Paths of Reincarnation Realm, three people appeared in the sky of the neighboring Sixth Scourge. Lu Yin stood between Hongyan Mavis, whose face was hidden, and E' Ji.
As the three moved forward, they immediately drew the attention of numerous corpse kings and peak powerhouses who had betrayed humanity and were in the Sixth Scourge.
The Sixth Scourge had never been invaded, and because of that, the human traitors were left bewildered as the corpse kings fearlessly charged forward.
Lu Yin brought out a Zenith Mountain and released the emperor in his mecha. Supreme effortlessly crushed the countless corpse kings before leaping towards the black Mother Tree. Lu Yin’s guess proved to be correct; Corpse God was under the black Mother Tree, in a similar location as the temple to True God in the First Scourge.
Xu Jin’s Second Scourge, Di Qiong’s Third Scourge, and Blackless God’s Fourth Scourge were all facing similar situations at this moment.
The colossal form of Supreme instantly drew countless attacks from all across the Sixth Scourge.
Beneath the black Mother Tree lay a hidden valley, shrouded by dark clouds that made it impossible to see through.
Supreme was unstoppable, and the mecha brushed all attacks aside. In the Sixth Scourge, aside from the new member of the Seven Skygods, Ji Luo, there was not even a single sequence powerhouse capable of standing up to Supreme. Even the Progenitor-level corpse kings were simply swept aside as Supreme boldly and brazenly fell into the valley.
Supreme fell swiftly, but the mecha retreated from the valley even faster. It turned out that the mecha was not retreating, but had rather been thrown out of the valley.
An incredible power had hurled Supreme out of the valley, and the mecha flew into the sky.
Inside Supreme, the emperor was stunned by the terrifying power that had just struck him. What kind of monster could be hidden in this place?
He had struggled to accept the fact that the Heavens Sect's powerhouses were able to overpower Supreme, but he had already known that there were many formidable foes throughout the cosmos.
However, while the emperor had anticipated facing strong enemies, he had not expected to face an opponent whose strength was absurd enough to send Supreme flying.
As the man listened to the piercing alarms that rang out in the mecha, he understood that whatever was hiding in the valley possessed enough power to pose a true threat to Supreme.
Lu Yin, E' Ji, and Hongyan Mavis all arrived at the edge of the valley.
A colossal hand rose up from the valley and grabbed hold of its side. A deep, rhythmic thumping emanated from the hidden depths. It was the monster’s heartbeat.
E' Ji's eyes went wide with excitement. This was interesting, incredibly interesting. Some sort of giant had appeared.
As the four people watched, an enormous head emerged from the canyon, and it roared at the sky. The roar created visible shockwaves that ripped through the clouds as they spread towards the black Mother Tree and the other Scourges.
The ripples passed through the void.
Lu Yin's eyes bulged. Was this Progenitor Chen’s giant clone? No, it did not look quite right.
He focused on the giant that climbed up out of the valley, noting the differences between it and Progenitor Chen’s giant clone that Lu Yin had seen while fishing in the River of Time.
Supreme descended from the sky, surrounded by a halo of light and wielding a sword that had appeared. The mecha slashed towards the giant in the valley.
The giant roared again, and flames of aurelian force burned the void as the battle force spread out and stopped Supreme’s sword from falling, preventing the attack entirely.
The emperor went bug-eyed. Only moments had passed since he had been caught off guard and sent flying by this giant. Despite fighting in a battle that he did not want to be part of, the emperor could not accept Supreme being overpowered.
It was acceptable for Supreme to lose, but it could not be swept aside like some sort of insignificant bug.
The sword continued to press down, and it started to slice through the flames of aurelian force.
This sword had been forged from the sharpest materials that the Infinity Empire had ever found, and it could not be easily blocked.
The giant dodged the sword, leaped up, and then threw a punch at Supreme.
This time, the emperor was prepared. He used Supreme’s full ring energy capacity and countered with his own punch.
Boom!
The massive impact overturned the land of the Sixth Scourge, and shockwaves rippled outwards.
Several peak powerhouse traitors who had taken refuge in the Sixth Scourge were stunned by the scale of the fight they were seeing. They retreated further and further. What kind of power did these two monsters possess?
Supreme and the giant both possessed similar size and physical strength.
E' Ji leaped over Supreme, her foot touching the head of the mecha as she punched straight at the giant. A fist was the most fundamental human attack, and it could deliver immense destructive power, especially when thrown by someone skilled at using brute strength.
E' Ji's punch was powered by the destructive power that she had absorbed from the Scourge Occupation’s mad ancestor, and there was no need for any sort of battle technique.
The punch smashed into the giant's chest, sending the monster crashing back into the valley.
The emperor was irritated; how dare the woman step on Supreme's head?
Standing beside Lu Yin, Hongyan Mavis was impressed. "Little Seven, where did you find such strong people? Both of them are quite impressive."
Lu Yin smiled. "Without such people, how would I have had the courage to claim that I would restore the Heavens Sect to its past glory?"
Hongyan Mavis marveled, "The Heavens Sect was once so brilliant that it eclipsed all lesser lights. But over the years, those lesser lights have grown strong enough to rival that brilliance. Tai Hong's Cyclic Universe, along with these outsider civilizations, have united to truly possess the power to challenge Aeternus."
Down in the valley, the giant let out another roar, and the scorching aurelian force continued to spread further, burning the void wherever it passed.
Inside Supreme, the emperor shouted, "Woman, get down!"
E' Ji was still standing on top of Supreme, and she cocked an eyebrow at the emperor's order. "Watch your tone."
"I am the emperor of the Infinity Empire!"
"And I am the chief of the Scourge Occupation."
The emperor caused Supreme to clench a fist, and it nearly tried to crush the woman. But with Lu Yin watching, the emperor restrained himself.
The giant lunged up from the depths of the valley, twisting its body to deliver a powerful kick to Supreme.
E' Ji immediately leapt away.
The giant's kick sent Supreme flying far away, and it even cracked the mecha’s energy shield.
The emperor could not believe that the giant was capable of withstanding such a powerful blow from Supreme without suffering any injuries. He maneuvered the mecha, readying its massive sword before charging back at the giant.
E' Ji struck first, but the giant directly endured her attack, and it even retaliated with a punch that sent the woman flying.
Supreme moved past E' Ji, the mecha’s sword slicing at the giant. Once again, aurelian force stopped the blade. While the sword was able to push through the aurelian force, it was not able to make contact with the giant.
As the giant's fist slammed down, Supreme released the sword to meet the blow with a fist.
The giant roared in the valley, aurelian force continuing to blaze and incinerate the void.
Lu Yin was well aware of Supreme’s impressive defenses, as even the combined efforts of Mu Ke and the other sequence powerhouses had been helpless against the mecha.
It was completely unexpected that the giant would possess a similar level of defenses, and Lu Yin was once again reminded of Progenitor Chen's giant clone.
When fishing in the River of Time, Lu Yin had seen Progenitor Chen's giant clone use enough brute strength to injure even Corpse God's indestructible body, as the super giant had coughed up blood. If this giant in the Sixth Scourge really was Progenitor Chen's clone, then such strength would not be surprising. However, Lu Yin did not recognize the giant.
The two titans continued to clash with the black Mother Tree serving as their backdrop. The fierce battle continued in the Sixth Scourge, shattering the ground below.
As Lu Yin watched the fight, his eyes were drawn to the distant form of the black Mother Tree, and to the pillars of light that had imprisoned True God. Suddenly, Lu Yin realized something; Shao Yin was not a member of the Garan family, and yet he could use their innate gift of Eight-Star Garan. How?
If Shao Yin could use Eight-Star Garan, then why could the giant fighting against Supreme not use the abilities of Progenitor Chen's giant clone?
Lu Yin had witnessed Progenitor Chen’s giant clone fight against Corpse God and even die at the end of the battle. Corpse God had taken the corpse with him, and after seeing that scene, Lu Yin had wondered what they had used the corpse for. As he watched the giant fight against Supreme, Lu Yin felt that he had finally found an answer.
Corpse God must have found a way to transfer the power of Progenitor Chen's giant clone to another giant.
In other words, Supreme was effectively fighting against Progenitor Chen's giant clone.
Lu Yin stared at the giant, feeling conflicted. What kind of strength was needed to fight Supreme to a standstill? What level of strength had Progenitor Chen truly possessed? Bai Wangyuan, Wang Fan, and Xia Shenji were jokes, believing themselves to be Progenitor Chen’s peers. Sharing the title of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas had blinded the men.
Progenitor Ku had invaded the First Scourge on his own, and yet he had managed to survive. Given True God’s unfathomable strength, how had he failed to kill Progenitor Ku? Reality defied imagination.
Every era would give rise to extraordinarily talented individuals. The current era had given birth to Lu Yin, who was unmatched throughout all of human history. It was not surprising that people like Progenitor Chen and Progenitor Ku had appeared during the Daosource Sect era. What was more surprising was that their strength had managed to remain a mystery and that their incredible strength had been grossly underestimated even now.
Lu Yin stared at the giant. If this really was the strength of Progenitor Chen’s giant clone, then the fact that Progenitor Chen was still alive and in Burial Garden, working on creating a technique to kill True God, was truly no trivial matter.
Lu Yin was eager to see what Progenitor Chen would create.
Also, Progenitor Ku would surely awaken one day.
Humanity’s strength was unimaginable, even to someone like Lu Yin. What could possibly stand in their way?
