Chapter 3024: Invading The Scourge
After the short exchange, no one had any interest in continuing the conversation.
Progenitor Xi glanced around at everyone. “Ladies and gentlemen, we’ll see you when we have the opportunity.”
She then promptly turned and walked back towards the Scourge. At the same time, the white mountains and rivers in the sky disappeared, indicating that Whiteless God had also left. Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
Shao Yin shot a cold glance at Lu Yin, still furious at being compared to something as revolting as that vile fruit. He swore to make Lu Yin pay.
The forces of the Sixverse Association watched as the Aeternals returned to the Scourge. The battlefield regained a measure of peace.
Lord Xu let out a long breath. “Alright, it’s over.”
Sovereign Dou Sheng coughed again.
Lord Xu looked over. “You should return to the Cyclic Universe.”
Sovereign Dou Sheng put his golden cudgel away. “Understood.”
The Sovereign was more than willing to die on the battlefield, but not in his current, horribly injured state. Given his condition, even a True God Squad Captain would pose a very real threat to Sovereign Dou Sheng. He wanted to at least recover from his injuries before returning to act as the first line of defense against Aeternus.
Sovereign Lotus had also been injured by Shao Yin, and her face was quite pale.
Arch-Elder Zen was suffering from the backlash of summoning Lu Tianyi to attack, so he was also in a rather bad condition.
The battle had reached its end, though Lu Yin did not see it that way.
“Senior Voidlord, are you able to hold back Astral Anura?” Lu Yin suddenly asked.
Lord Xu was about to leave, but he hesitated at Lu Yin’s question. “Why do you ask?”
Lu Yin turned and flashed a smile at the man. “Let’s invade the Scourge.”
Lord Xu was stunned.
Sovereign Dou Sheng’s eyes flared, but after a moment, he smirked.
Further away, Sovereign Lotus overheard Lu Yin’s comment, and it shocked her. “Dao Monarch Lu, do you want to invade the Scourge right now?”
Arrow Sage and Food Sage exchanged glances.
Lu Yin looked towards the entrance to the First Scourge. “Jing Zhe, the Seven-Star Mantis, and the nine-headed bird are all dead. The Purple Emperor was just badly injured, and we’ve figured out how that creature of pure energy functions. How many more outsider powerhouses can the Aeternals call upon? Astral Anura? That Star Devourer? How many outsider powerhouses can our Sixverse Association rely on? If we don’t take this opportunity to invade the Scourge, when will we?
“All of you have fought against Aeternus too many times, and the current truce is nothing more than an implicit agreement. You’re all familiar with the status quo, so allow me to change the pattern.”
Sovereign Lotus instantly refused, “No. Both Dou Sheng and I are injured, so how can we invade the Scourge?”
Lord Xu considered Lu Yin’s proposal. “This is certainly an opportunity, but...”
Lu Yin smiled. “It’s different from the normal way of handling things, isn’t it?”
Lord Xu nodded, acknowledging that there was a certain rhythm to the war.
“I’m not used to stopping just because it’s suggested. I tend to take the more surprising action. Right now, three of the Aeternals’ outsider powerhouses are dead, and another one is seriously injured. The Seven Skygods are all hiding in seclusion, while on our side, Sovereign Dou Sheng and Sovereign Lotus have been gravely injured. Aeternus is treating things as though the current battle is over, so if we don’t act now, how long will we wait?” Lu Yin lifted his head, determination steeling his gaze. “These are my orders, as the ruler of the Origin Universe: I call for an invasion of the Scourge. All who refuse to answer to this conscription will be treated as traitors to humanity and will be summarily executed by the Heavens Sect without mercy.”
“Lord Lu!” Sovereign Lotus wanted to say something.
Sovereign Dou Sheng laughed. “Good! Lord Lu, I, Dou Sheng, will serve under your command.”
Lu Yin smiled. “Senior, rest for now. You won’t be able to join this battle.”
Sovereign Dou Sheng shrugged, as it was true that his current injuries would only make him a liability during the invasion.
“I call out Lu Tianyi, Progenitor Yōu Ming, Cloudflow, Leng Qing, Chen Le, and Qing Ping.
“I call out Arrow Sage, Food Sage, Chu Jian, Bai Wangyuan, and Wang Fan.
“I call out Mu Ke, Mu Tao, and Director Gan.
Lu Yin stepped forward, “Are you satisfied, Senior?”
Sovereign Dou Sheng coughed. “Quite. Thank you.”
The Sovereign was the trigger behind this invasion, and this battle would mark the day that heralded the future. Sovereign Dou Sheng’s injuries precluded him from participating any further, but he had already done enough.
Lu Yin gave the man a small smile as he stepped into the Scourge.
Shao Yin emerged from a tower. From its height and position, it could be seen that he had been recognized as a new member of the Seven Skygods.
Sovereign Dou Sheng’s power swept across the Scourge, startling Shao Yin. What was happening?
Marquis Wu, Marquis Wang, and Zhong Pan all stepped out as well.
In one tower, Mu Ji’s eyes opened. Was another terrifying powerhouse invading the Scourge? Such incidents had been rare throughout history, as few had had the courage to enter the Scourge. But in recent years, they had become rather frequent occurrences. Who was it this time?
More than twenty peak powerhouses entered the Scourge at the same time, and their arrival shattered the earth.
Progenitor Xi brought out her sword, releasing a slash that targeted everyone who had just invaded the Scourge.
The first person to step forward was Lu Tianyi, and he pointed a finger at the approaching slash. The impact shattered the attack with a loud clang.
Progenitor Xi studied the crowd of invaders before her gaze settled onto Lu Yin. “Dao Monarch Lu, I underestimated you.”
Lu Yin stared straight back at the woman. “Then take another look.”
Divine energy boiled and surged up from the lake behind Progenitor Xi, and it swept through the sky towards Lu Yin and the rest. Lord Xu raised a hand, lashing out at the divine force. At the same time, everyone else released their own attacks.
All of them had been shunned in the First Scourge, which greatly weakened their strength. But despite that, their sheer numbers were overwhelming.
At the moment, how many truly strong peak powerhouses remained in the First Scourge?
Far away, the Purple Emperor moved to leave, but he was stopped by Shao Yin. “You’re the one who instigated this battle. Leaving now doesn’t seem appropriate, does it?”
The Purple Emperor’s solitary white eye looked over at Shao Yin. “The humans have too many powerhouses.”
“My Aeternus does not lack for experts.” Shao Yin firmly blocked the Purple Emperor.
Space twisted and warped all across the First Scourge as a massive protective sourcebox array was activated.
As the Purple Emperor watched, he found that he was no longer capable of leaving, even if he wanted to.
Over the years, Aeternus had welcomed human traitors. With the Aeternals suddenly falling to what appeared to be a disadvantageous position, those traitors’ first instinct was to escape. This massive sourcebox array had actually been erected across the Scourge for them.
Five frenzied corpses were dredged up from beneath the lake of divine energy. There were only five more still beneath the surface.
Beams of light shot upwards, connecting the sky to the ground. Aeternus was summoning the assistance of their allies.
Lu Tianyi went after Progenitor Xi, while Mu Ke focused on Shao Yin. As for Lu Yin, he contended with the frenzied corpses. An unprecedented battle erupted in the Scourge, the fighting surpassing even the intensity of Whitecloud City’s invasion.
The leaders of the Five Spirits Alliance also arrived, which added five more sequence powerhouses to the invasion’s forces.
Not even the divine energy from the lakes across the Scourge could overpower the invaders.
The Purple Emperor was capable of folding time, and he became Big Sis’ target. She had once lost her strength to the river of time, which made her very sensitive to the power of time.
Food Sage went after the being of pure energy. While the Taotie’s strength could not compare to that of the pure energy entity, the Sage was its natural nemesis. Food Sage possessed extremely formidable physical strength, and with Arrow Sage’s assistance, the two had the ability to deal with the outsider powerhouse.
The Star Devourer appeared within one of the beams of light that rose high into the sky, and the astral beast immediately opened four of his eyes. His terrifying strength twisted the void around him, and the Five Spirits Alliance’s Fire Lord and Wood Lord joined together to block the Star Devourer.
Never before had Lu Yin felt that it was so easy to overpower the forces of Aeternus, especially since they were invading the Scourge.
Towers crumbled, and three peak powerhouses who had betrayed humanity to join Aeternus felt as though the sky was falling and the earth was shattering.
They had thought that the Scourge was safe, but they found themselves facing a truly desperate situation.
Thunder echoed as the Lightning Lord struck down one of the peak powerhouses, causing the other two to flee in despair.
