Chapter 2971: Total War
While the beasts were intimidated by the Python Ancestor\'s aura, if they had the chance, they would unquestionably eat the Python Ancestor. Lu Yin had no doubt of this.
After a year, Lu Yin tried releasing Lightstream. After doing so, he let out a sigh of relief. It had worked.
Far away from Lu Yin, another figure arrived in the same universe.
"As expected. You can forget about destroying this universe." The newcomer looked around at the giant pythons that surrounded her. The sight gave her the chills. She waved a hand, and a powerful aura forced all the giant pythons to retreat in fear.
Lu Yin suddenly looked over. Had a peak powerhouse arrived?
He quickly used Heaven’s Sight, which revealed a familiar figure far away. Moon Fairy?
The Luna Alliance’s Moon Fairy, who had been Ye Bo’s opponent during their invasion of the Scourge, had arrived in this universe. This was outside of Lu Yin’s expectations. Could it be that what Progenitor Xi had said about the species not being simple was true? Had she been referring to the fact that the Luna Alliance would interfere?
However, why were they getting involved at all?
Before he got a clearer picture of the situation, Lu Yin just watched as Moon Fairy drew closer.
When the woman saw Ye Bo, her eyebrows rose, and then she sneered at him. "It\'s you? That\'s great. I want to see just how much divine energy you have."
As she spoke, moonlight flowed under her feet like a river, and behind her, an illusory moon rose into the sky. The moon shone on the river, and the endless power of the moon blazed, filling outer space and forcing all the nearby pythons and fish to flee.
Lu Yin frowned. "Woman, did you come here for a reason?"
Moon Fairy sent a barrage of countless attacks that Lu Yin could only resist with divine energy. He still had no idea what the woman’s sequence particles were, and he did not want to find out. As long as he was acting as Ye Bo, it should be impossible for him to stand up to a sequence powerhouse. Ye Bo could not fight against such opponents.
"You look human, but who knows what you might really be? All the Aeternals deserve to die!" Moon Fairy was beautiful, her bearing was exceptional, and her voice was lovely to listen to. But that beauty belied her violent actions. She kept waving her arms, sending an endless number of slashes at Ye Bo in order to consume his divine energy.
Lu Yin was curious. "What connection does this universe have to your Luna Alliance? Or did you come here specifically to kill me?"
"Just for you?" Moon Fairy raised a snow-white arm, gathering an endless amount of moonlight that radiated in every direction.
Lu Yin knew that his opponent was about to unleash a massive attack. He did not want to fight her, as he could not win the battle, which made fighting pointless. Besides, he had already gotten his answer, which was that Moon Fairy’s appearance in the universe had nothing to do with Ye Bo. In other words, it had something to do with the universe itself.
Once again, Lu Yin was reminded of Progenitor Xi’s warning, and he realized that there was something off about this parallel universe.
A surge of divine energy erupted from Lu Yin, dying the surrounding area a dark-red color that clashed with Moon Fairy’s pure moonlight. She was startled by the eruption. "How can you have so much divine energy?"
The Luna Alliance was familiar with Aeternus, but they had never heard of a True God Guard Captain with so much divine energy before.
Lu Yin left. With the divine energy holding back the moonlight, it was easy for him to return to the Scourge.
Moon Fairy had wanted to stop Ye Bo from escaping, but she was unable to keep him behind.
As soon as he returned to the Scourge, Lu Yin went straight to the cosmic door that connected to Stone Ghost’s native universe. It was a perfectly normal parallel universe, and time flowed normally there.
Stone Ghost’s species was also very strange. All of them were living stones that were covered with patterns that moved as if they were alive.
In that universe, Lu Yin found a peak powerhouse from the Lightning Spirit Tribe. An ordinary peak powerhouse was no match for Lu Yin, and as soon as the man saw Ye Bo arrive, he left. Lu Yin knew that if he did not leave as well, the leader of the Lightning Spirit Tribe would arrive soon after.
What was going on? It felt like a very odd development to Lu Yin.
Only Progenitor Xi could give him an answer.
Lu Yin’s mission had not been in vain. After all, his trip had increased Lightstream’s power, allowing him to now see a full eighty-eight seconds into the past. While this might not seem much, that length of time would only continue to increase.
He found Progenitor Xi standing beside a river of divine energy. While she appeared calm after hearing his report, Lu Yin could clearly sense that the woman was suppressing her emotions. "Whitecloud really wants to force a confrontation. Jiang Feng is domineering and wants to seize control of everything. This perfectly matches his personality.
"Since he wants an all-out war, let’s see whether or not your Whitecloud has a strong enough foundation. It’s absurd that you think that you’ve already dealt with all of the threats.
"Assemble the captains."
Shock filled Lu Yin\'s eyes. All-out war?
The temple still stood beneath the black Mother Tree. It looked as though the Lord of Lightning had never even attacked it.
This was Lu Yin’s second time visiting the temple. Compared to his first visit, nearly half of the True God Guard Captains had died, leaving only five. While Mu Ji had been added to their numbers, this gathering of the captains seemed pointless.
"Captain Ye Bo, we meet again." Mu Ji greeted Ye Bo warmly as soon as he arrived.
Lu Yin continued on towards the temple without a glance.
Mu Ji shrugged. "Still as cold and boring as ever. And here I was, wanting to tell you about something interesting."
Lu Yin stopped and turned to look back at Mu Ji.
The man’s eyes lit up. "Are you interested? Haha, I knew that Captain Ye Bo had a good personality! You’re not some blockhead who only knows how to perform your missions."
"Mu Ji, who are you calling a blockhead?" Dual Bladeform arrived, and the pink-haired woman glared at Mu Ji.
The blue-haired man’s eyes showed pure animosity as he also stared at Mu Ji.
Mu Ji grew embarrassed. "Haha, of course I wasn’t referring to you. I was referring to the corpse kings who follow you all around. None of the beasts can even speak clearly. I have some of my own, and all of them are too boring."
"Hmph!" The pink-haired woman snorted contemptuously. When she noticed Ye Bo standing by the door of the temple and looking at them, she rolled her eyes. "I told you not to spend time with this guy."
The blue-hair man nodded to Lu Yin before walking into the temple.
After being interrupted, Mu Ji lost all interest in talking. He simply smiled at Ye Bo before entering the temple himself.
Of course, Lu Yin also entered.
There were four people in the temple when Lu Yin entered. He looked at the two extra people, as one of them was very familiar to him. She was Wang Xiaoyu, one of the Twelve Dukes from the Perennial World’s rear battlefield, and Progenitor Chen\'s former lover.
Wang Xiaoyu was the reason why Progenitor Chen had gone to the Sixth Mainland and used his Heaven’s Furnace to obliterate a Progenitor from the Sixth Mainland’s Daosource Sect. That incident had triggered the war between the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands.
The woman was known as the greatest redback to have ever betrayed the Fifth Mainland.
The other person was a man. He was over three meters tall and had a muscular body. He actually looked quite similar to Zhong Pan.
Lu Yin suppressed his surprise at seeing the two and moved to stand in a corner.
All of the Twelve Marquises had been Semi-Progenitors, but at this moment, Lu Yin felt something very different from Wang Xiaoyu. It was clear that she had broken through and become a Progenitor.
The room was silent. Several of the True God Guard Captains had died, and not even Dual Bladeform was feeling playful.
Soon enough, Skydog also arrived. Lu Yin glanced at the dog. This creature was capable of fighting against Sovereign Dou Sheng. How was Skydog a mere True God Guard Captain?
When the pink-haired woman saw Skydog, her eyes lit up, and she wanted to grab the dog. But before she could do so, she was grabbed by the blue-haired man, who shook his head.
It was clear to everyone that this meeting was more somber than before.
A short while later, Progenitor Xi arrived, and she looked around. "Two new captains are joining your numbers: Marquis Wu and Marquis Wang. This makes for seven True God Guard Captains, and the final three will soon be selected.
"I’ve gathered you all here to tell you that a total war has already erupted between Aeternus and Whitecloud City. All of your current missions are hereby suspended. You are to stand by in the Scourge awaiting deployment. That\'s all."
While the statement sounded simple and calm, the subsequent actions of Aeternus were anything but.
Multiple frenzied corpses were fished out of the lake of divine energy, and each one was then tossed through a cosmic door.
Lu Yin recognized one of the cosmic doors, as it led to the Ice Spirit Tribe’s universe.
Not even the Aeternals were able to control these frenzied corpses. The monsters knew nothing but slaughter, and they were being used to deliver absolute chaos to the Five Spirits Alliance and the Luna Alliance.
Lu Yin grew worried about Ming Yan, as he had no idea if the Five Spirits Alliance could endure this attack.
For the moment, Ye Bo could not leave the Scourge, as he was awaiting deployment and could receive orders at any time.
In the Ice Spirit Tribe’s universe, a frenzied corpse lifted its head to the sky and roared, inciting panic among the entire Ice Spirit Tribe.
This frenzied corpse had once been a peak powerhouse, but his mind had been destroyed by divine energy. The resulting abomination stoked a feeling of impending disaster in the Ice Spirits.
One of the Progenitor-level Ice Spirits shot towards the frenzied corpse, attempting to freeze the monster, but the frenzied corpse simply shattered the ice before charging at the spirit.
The peak powerhouse retreated again and again. As they pulled back, multiple planets were shattered by the frenzied corpse. The monster had no reasoning and used no battle techniques. It was nothing more than a killing machine, and it destroyed all that it saw.
The Ice Lord stepped out, an ugly expression on his face. What kind of monster was this?
The Five Spirits Alliance had never fought against Aeternus, and this was also the first all-out war between Aeternus and Whitecloud.
The presence of the frenzied corpse made the Ice Lord feel extremely nervous. He quickly attacked, freezing the monster with sequence particles, but the monster simply ignored the sequence particles entirely.
The frenzied corpse had been submerged in the lake of divine energy for too long, and its entire body had been permeated with divine energy. All Ice sequence particles melted the moment they made contact.
"No! He’s headed towards the Ice Spirit Domain!"
The Ice Lord stood in front of the frenzied corpse and struck the monster with two round, snow-white arms. The frenzied corpse was struck by both attacks, and it froze wherever the Ice Lord made contact. However, the frozen portions only caused the monster to bend slightly. It stared at the Ice Lord through scarlet eyes and reached out with a hand to grab at him.
The Ice Lord reflexively raised his arm to block the attack.
There was a bang, and the Ice Lord\'s arm was scratched. Cracks appeared, startling the powerhouse. Was this thing that powerful?
Their prolonged exposure to divine energy not only granted the frenzied corpses the ability to ignore sequence particles, but it also made their bodies unimaginably hard.
All of the Ice Lord\'s various attacks were blocked by the frenzied corpse. Whenever the monster attacked, the Ice Lord was forced to retreat. He could not stop the monster, especially since the frenzied corpse could ignore his sequence particles.
Desperate, the Ice Lord waved a hand. Beneath the Ice Spirit Domain, sequence particles erupted from the Iceheart. They merged with the Ice Lord\'s sequence particles to form a unified attack that shot towards the frenzied corpse.
The monster was finally stopped, and its body slowly froze over.
The Ice Spirits all breathed sighs of relief when they saw the monster finally freeze over.
However, the Ice Lord\'s expression grew even worse. He alone was aware that, even still, the frenzied corpse was dissolving the sequence particles that were keeping it frozen in place. While the monster appeared to be frozen, it was nothing more than a temporary measure to buy a bit of time. As soon as the sequence particles were completely consumed, not only would the Ice Lord need to compensate for the loss of sequence particles, but the Iceheart’s sequence particles would also be lost.
"Go to Whitecloud now! We need help!" Ice Lord shouted.
"What about the Lightning Spirit Tribe or the others?"
"They won’t be in any position to help us if we’ve been attacked by a monster like this."
The Ice Lord’s suspicions were quite accurate. At the same time, the Ice Spirit Tribe, the Lightning Spirit Tribe, and Fire Spirit Tribe had all been attacked by frenzied corpses, as had the members of the Luna Alliance.
As for Whitecloud City, they were dealing with a challenge that they had thought they handled long ago, the Ancient Lightning Locust.
