The third battalion was not attacked by one of the True God Guard Captains, but by Sovereign Shao Yin, Yi Ren, and five ordinary Progenitor-level corpse kings, as well as a horde of weaker corpse kings.
Once Lu Yin and the jiao were gone, the third battalion had only four Progenitor-level experts: Xu Wuwei, Xu Heng, Xu Leng, and Bai Sheng. While it might seem like a good number of powerhouses, they were facing seven of Aeternus’s Progenitor-level experts, which was a substantial threat.
In one of the Endless Frontier’s parallel universes, humans fought against corpse kings, and space was destroyed.
Sovereign Shao Yin sneered. "That Lu brat really thought that he could conquer the Endless Frontier just because he wanted to? If you want to blame someone for your death, Wuwei, blame that brat. He’s responsible for you dying here."
The power of Extreme Yang burned through space, and positive transformed into negative, feeding the Extreme Yin, while the negative then transformed back into Extreme Yang. While it appeared that the negative was feeding the positive, the truth was that both were occurring, and Extreme Yin was feeding Extreme Yang as positive fed negative and yin and yang merged.
A solemn expression appeared on Xu Wuwei's face as he looked at Shao Yin’s Extreme Yang. Xu Wuwei could only counter this power with his Spiral Domain. "Sovereign Shao Yin, you actually cultivate the power of Extreme Yang? You really succeeded in deceiving everyone. Still, you should have had your power stripped from you.”
"Old man, I've known for a long time that you don't like me. You even tried to cooperate with that Lu brat to entrap me. Today, I’ll make you pay for what you’ve done. Regret your actions as you die!"
Sovereign Shao Yin proceeded to not only challenge Xu Wuwei’s Law of Space sequence particles with the Law of Yang sequence particles, Shao Yin also brought out his own Spiral Domain. Blue striped appeared on Shao Yin’s back as he used the Eight-Star Garan to copy the Spiral Domain that Xu Wuwei had used.
At this moment, Shao Yins mastery of Extreme Yang far surpassed what he had been capable of when he had fought against Lu Yin in the Decaying Diablo Universe.
Xu Wuwei was stunned. How could Sovereign Shao Yin use Xu Wuwei’s Spiral Domain?
The two Spiral Domains clashed, causing the void to collapse. That provided an opening, and the power of Extreme Yang burned Xu Wuwei.
Falling back, blood leaked from the corners of Xu Wuwei’s mouth.
Off in the distance, the Superior Heavenly Cudgel slammed into a disk as Yi Ren and Bai Sheng faced off against each other.
"This is not just a battle between Aeternus and humanity, but also a battle between my Sixth Mainland and your Fifth Mainland!" Yi Ren shouted.
Bai Sheng’s eyebrows rose. "You’re from the Sixth Mainland? That's great! I always regretted missing out on the war between the Fifth Mainland and your Sixth Mainland. Today, you will be forced to pay the price."
Yi Ren sneered. "Die."
Xu Heng and Xu Leng were dealing with four different Progenitor-level corpse kings at the same time.
Additionally, Yao Di was holding back another Progenitor-level corpse king.
Yao Di was a gatemaster of one of the Heavens Sect’s Twelve Heavenly Gates, and all of those Semi-Progenitors were participating in the crusade. Yao Di just happened to have been assigned to the third battalion.
Further away, Sky Garan was crossing realms to challenge a Semi-Progenitor corpse king, but the young man’s eyes were focused on the battle between Sovereign Shao Yin and Xu Wuwei. Is that the Eight-Star Garan? Why can he use that? That’s my family’s inherited innate gift. Could he be a member of my Garan family?
"Xu Wuwei, die!" Sovereign Shao Yin shouted. The power of Extreme Yang pressed forward while the two Spiral Domains were locked together.
Xu Wuwei's face was pale, and yet he showed a mocking smile. "Sovereign Shao Yin, have you forgotten that I an a cultivator from the Voidforce Universe?"
Sovereign Shao Yin’s pupils shrank.
Across from him, Xu Wuwei took out a pot. "In one pot, cook all five of the world’s flavors: sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty- Sovereign Shao Yin, try it!"
As the man shouted, a terrifying amount of voidforce energy shot from the pot and slammed into Sovereign Shao Yin.
Both the power of Extreme Yin and the power of Extreme Yang erupted from Shao Yin’s body.
The two struck each other with a bang, and ripples spread through the void.
When fighting, people from the Voidforce Universe were capable of wielding multiple times their own energy reserves with their voidforce puppets. There were people who could even control ten times their own power, which could provide a significant advantage in a battle.
Even if Shao Yin was using the powers of Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang together to wield a law of the universe that surpassed the law that Xu Wuwei wielded, it would be difficult for Shao Yin to force his way through so much raw power anytime soon.
At this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared directly behind Xu Wuwei, an arm raised high and a large black bar in the hand. The rod dropped down to crush Xu Wuwei.
The Void Suprema spun around. The danger he sensed sent tremors through his body, but while he wanted to evade this attack, he was surrounded by the powers of Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang, and Xu Wuwei’s voidforce energy was occupied suppressing Shao Yin. It was nearly impossible for Xu Wuwei to respond to this sneak attack.
As the black bar fell, a golden light suddenly illuminated the entire universe as an Investiture of the Gods appeared above Xu Wuwei.
"All these guys from Aeternus are so weird." Lu Qi appeared with his back to Xu Wuwei as he faced the figure wielding the black bar.
The long black weapon struck the Investiture of the Gods, and the black bar merged with the golden light to create a massive shadow that spanned the entire universe.
Xu Wuwei was frightened. "Be careful! That should be one of the True God Guard Captains."
Lu Qi had been following the third battalion across the entire Endless Frontier. This was because the third battalion was the one that faced the greatest risk of the four battalions. As soon as the fourth battalion dispersed, it made sense for Aeternus to target the third battalion as they tried to move. The first and second battalions were still too far to be able to help.
Lu Qi was powerful enough to deal with a sequence powerhouse, despite not being one himself. This was due to the man’s unique situation, rather than his own strength.
However, Lu Qi was not facing a powerful Sequence Progenitor, but a True God Guard Captain.
Sovereign Shao Yin’s face twisted into an ugly expression. The fact that Lu Qi could suddenly appear suggested that other experts from the Heavens Sect might do so as well. The Heavens Sect had been prepared for this ambush, which meant that it had already failed.
"You have such a weird and disgusting power that covers you." Lu Qi stared at his opponent with the black bar, and then leaped forward while attacking with the Hidden Needle.
At the same time, the summoned form of Wang Jian stepped out of the Investiture of the Gods and went after Yi Ren.
Yi Ren had betrayed the Sixth Mainland. Regardless of whatever grudges might exist between the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands, the fact that Yi Ren had betrayed the Sixth Mainland made him Lu Qi’s primary target. After all, it was completely impossible for Lu Qi to kill Shao Yin.
Lu Qi alone was the same as two Progenitors joining the battle, and Shao Yin was left with no choice but to order a retreat. If the Aeternals did not pull back, they would be trapped as soon as the first battalion arrived to support the third battalion.
Yi Ren wanted to leave as well, but was stopped by Bai Sheng. Once the summoned Wang Jian arrived, there was no way for Yi Ren to escape.
"Sovereign Shao Yin, save me!" Yi Ren shouted.
Just as Sovereign Shao Yin was about to intervene, Xu Wuwei’s Spiral Domain spread out and stopped the Sovereign.
Shao Yin would not get into a deathmatch with Xu Wuwei just to save Yi Ren, which meant that the only option was to leave.
The True God Guard Captain who Lu Qi had stopped from attacking Xu Wuwei also left.
Yi Ren looked furious, and divine energy erupted from his body and shot towards Bai Sheng.
Bai Sheng was afraid of divine energy, so he quickly pulled back.
