The Ice Lord’s answer let Lu Yin breathe a sigh of relief. "Senior Ice Lord, we don’t have much time. Please take me to the other universes where frenzied corpses have appeared. Aeternus wants to use these monsters to upset the balance of the war between them and Whitecloud. Just leave the frenzied corpses to me."
"Very well. Thank you, Dao Monarch Lu." The Ice Lord bowed his rotund body in a human manner. If not for Lu Yin, the Ice Spirit Tribe would have been doomed. He had done them a great favor.
Lu Yin had first helped the Ice Lord see through the Aeternals’ scheme, and at this moment, Lu Yin was rescuing the entire Five Spirits Alliance from the frenzied corpses. The Ice Lord could not allow such kindness to go unnoticed.
"Although the Heavens Sect and Whitecloud have not interacted much, both are human powers with Aeternus as their enemy. There’s no need to be polite. Let's go," Lu Yin urged.
Not long after, a Progenitor-level Ice Spirit led Lu Yin to the Earth Spirit Tribe’s universe.
Given the Ice Spirit Tribe’s previous predicament had faced, the other four members of the Five Spirits Alliance could not be having an easy time of things either. The frenzied corpses were difficult issues for anyone to deal with.
The Aeternals had never imagined that anyone could eliminate the frenzied corpses so quickly. While Lu Tianyi's incredible combat strength meant that he could quickly eliminate a frenzied corpse, it was also impossible for him to deal with the frenzied corpses everywhere. Aeternus had already taken Lu Tianyi’s power into consideration, and they understood how to avoid that man. It was expected that someone with Lu Tianyi's strength could massacre the frenzied corpses, but Lu Yin was a variable that no one could have predicted.
Mu Ji had told Lu Yin that there were not many frenzied corpses still beneath the lake of divine energy. The frenzied corpses were also why the Aeternals were confident about launching an all-out war. By sending the frenzied corpses to the Five Spirits Alliance and the Luna Alliance, Aeternus expected to instantly deal with both organizations. By keeping eight sequence powerhouses tied up, the war would be instantly decided.
At this moment, Progenitor Xi still did not know what was happening.
The Heavens Sect had entered the war, which had drastically tipped the balance of the scales.
Aeternus did not expect this assault to eliminate Whitecloud’s forces, but that was not the purpose of the war. Their goal was to destroy the different parallel universes and thereby demonstrate to Whitecloud that Whitecloud could not afford to interfere in the fight over sequence strings. As for the Heavens Sect entering the fray, their purpose was to tell Aeternus that the Heavens Sect would continue to wage war against Aeternus until one of the two was destroyed. It did not matter if the Aeternals pulled out of the Sixverse Association; the Heavens Sect would only stop fighting when only one of the two remained.
In outer space in a universe, light kept flashing as roars were heard.
Lu Qi gasped, blood leaking from the corner of his mouth. "Damn! Where did this monster come from? His body is so strong! No wonder Little Seven warned me to be careful."
In front of him, Zhong Pan charged forward again, throwing another punch.
There was a bang as a fist struck Lu Qi's chest. It rang with a metallic sound as Lu Qi was knocked back. He grinned through pain. "If it weren't for Heaven’s Furnace, I would have been beaten to death by now. Still, you can’t be having an easy time of things either. "
Blood dripped from Zhong Pan’s fists. His eyes were locked onto Lu Qi. The corpse king was indeed struggling.
The fire from Heaven’s Furnace flowed just beneath Lu Qi's skin. That fire raged throughout his body, causing him to endure agony at all times. However, that fire was also a form of protection for Lu Qi. It not only protected him from external harm, but it also retaliated, damaging an attacker every time they struck Lu Qi.
Zhong Pan’s skin had been burned by the flames. After all, these flames were from Progenitor Chen’s innate gift.
"Hehehehe, I can't be beaten to death, I’m Lu Qi! Come on, I can keep fighting you for a hundred years! Let’s go!" Lu Qi seized the initiative and shot forward, attacking Zhong Pan.
The corpse king retaliated with a punch, blowing Lu Qi away. He spat out blood, which sprayed through the vacuum of space, only to instantly be vaporized by the scorching temperature. Zhong Pan's arm was twisted in an unnatural position. The heat was forcing him to suffer badly.
...
Lu Qi's battle was the complete opposite of Big Sis’. She was doing her best, but she was unable to harm Skydog at all. The dog kept barking, and the sound echoed through space, giving Big Sis quite the headache.
While she was unable to harm Skydog, Skydog was also unable to hurt Big Sis, which had led to their current stalemate.
"Where did this mutt come from? Get lost!"
Woof!
"If you’re strong enough to fight with me, it doesn't matter if you don't fight back."
Woof!
"Go on, attack me again! Don't be a coward! If you can attack, then make a move! Don’t show me your tail."
Woof! Woof!
"Say something."
Woof! Woof! Woof!
"I don’t believe you can't actually speak. Go to hell!"
Woof!
"Damn it..."
...
A saber kept on slashing, slicing through the laws of the universe and sequence particles. Every slash made Mu Ji nervous. He still could not cultivate divine energy. The only thing that let him just barely resist the slashes was the divine energy that had started to corrupt the surface of his body.
Just the man’s skin and hair had barely been corrupted by divine energy, but this was enough to prevent Mu Ke from slicing Mu Ji to pieces. Without this protection, Mu Ji would have died long ago.
"Mu Ke, while I may have betrayed the Arboreal Realm, I never did anything to harm our universe! You and I once had the best relationship, so don't come after me." Another saber slash attacked Mu Ji, nearly slicing his arm off. He was quite worried.
Mu Ke looked over, raising his saber up high and pointing it straight at Mu Ji.
The man’s expression changed. "Not this move!”
He waved his hands, creating a strong wind that swept through the void. This was the waning good, and it allowed Mu Ji to see the evil in people.
He saw the evil in Mu Ke, but while Mu Ji wanted to control it, Mu Ke’s saber was still attacking, and it sliced right through the waning good.
Mu Ke was a sequence powerhouse. While Mu Ji’s power was effective on Progenitor-level powerhouses, it was useless against sequence powerhouses.
However, Mu Ji had merely wanted to interrupt the attacks against him, not actually control Mu Ke. Mu Ji wanted to bring out his roulette wheel.
A roulette wheel appeared over Mu Ji's right hand. It looked quite simple. There were four characters on it: top, bottom, left, and right. Together, they formed the Roulette of Life and Death. There were five places on the wheel that the arrow could point to, corresponding to the five segments.
Mu Ke looked at it, but he simply raised his saber up again.
Mu Ji gritted his teeth and spun the wheel. "Please, please, please, please..."
Mu Ke’s blade fell, and there was no time for another thought.
Even Corpse God needed to be serious against Verseless. This was the attack that had severed the Inorganic Universe and also severely injured the super giant Bei Shan. This attack could kill a sequence powerhouse.
There was nothing that Mu Ji could do to stop this attack. He could only stand in place, gritting his teeth while staring at his roulette wheel. Hurry, hurry, hurry!
