Lu Yin now understood what Shang Zheng meant. The Law of Darkness was very powerful no matter how one looked at it. Old Mo could not be given even the slightest reprieve to recover.
However, since Old Mo had already escaped, he definitely would not keep hiding in the Endless Frontier, which meant that it would be extremely difficult to find him.
Proximity soon received the news.
The fourth battalion had officially purged the Umbral Universe, and the master of that universe, Old Mo, had been seriously injured before escaping. It was likely that the man would defect to the Aeternals.
Wang Wen solemnly commented, "Senior Sage Bodhi, please ask the Sixverse Association to do their best to find Old Mo. That man attacked our Heavens Sect when we were being attacked by the Aeternals, and his actions harmed us greatly."
Sage Bodhi stared at Wang Wen for a long moment. She was quickly realizing that the four people that Lu Yin had sent to Proximity had not merely been sent to uncover spies, but also to deliver Lu Yin’s orders to the Sixverse Association.
This did not mean that Sage Bodhi could not accept the orders that Lu Yin was giving, as the two orders that he had given—drafting all members of the Sixverse Association currently on the Endless Frontier into the crusade and searching for Old Mo—were both acting for the overall benefit of the Sixverse Association.
However, if too many such orders were given, they would silently increase Lord Lu’s influence throughout the Sixverse Association.
I’ve still underestimated him. Lord Lu isn’t only fighting a battle on the Endless Frontier, but also waging a war of influence within the Sixverse Association.
Could Sage Bodhi refuse? No. She was the Endless Frontier’s General solely because she had instant access to all the information of the battlefield, not because she was qualified to give orders to all the people fighting on the Endless Frontier.
When she was asked to convey orders or information from the Endless Frontier to the Sixverse Association, it was extremely difficult for the Sage to refuse, as long as the request was reasonable.
The Great Sovereign was in seclusion, which meant that there was no one around who could stop Lu Yin.
More than a month passed after the battle in the Umbral Universe, and during that time, the four battalions had green lit seventeen parallel universes. It was an unprecedented accomplishment.
The entire Sixverse Association was watching the crusade.
At this juncture, even if the crusade ultimately failed, just the accomplishment of having purged seventeen parallel universes was enough to shock countless people.
An uncountable number of Aeternus’s corpse kings had been slaughtered, including dozens at the Semi-Progenitor level and no less than five at the Progenitor level. Additionally, eleven spies had been uncovered, some of whom were from the parallel universes of the Endless Frontier, with others from the Sixverse Association.
Just as Lu Yin had wanted, the four battalions were sweeping across the Endless Frontier, leaving it clean in their wake.
Never before had the Endless Frontier seen such activity. The crusade inspired confidence in many of the Endless Frontier’s universes.
However, Lu Yin and the others were not at all happy about their progress. The seventeen parallel universes that they had purged were only the most ordinary and average of the universes that made up the Endless Frontier, and only the Umbral Universe had been somewhat remarkable. Without Old Mo, a Sequence Progenitor, the Umbral Universe would not rank among the top fifteen most dangerous universes. And even with him in it, the universe would never be ranked any higher, not unless Old Mo defected to Aeternus or allied with the Sixverse Association. The battalions had not met any of the true challenges on the Endless Frontier yet.
At the Cyclic Universe’s Wall of Purity, Arrow Sage was reviewing the reports that had been sent back from the Endless Frontier as shock filled his heart.
Lu Yin might have acted overly arrogant and overbearing in the Cyclic Universe, but he was finally doing something extremely satisfying.
Many people had objected to the crusade to conquer the Endless Frontier, but Arrow Sage had not been one of them. As Lu Yin had said, why should the Aeternals be the ones to decide when and how the war was fought?
Arrow Sage had also wanted to launch an attack against the Aeternals, but he lacked the necessary strength.
There were currently four battalions sweeping across the Endless Frontier, each of which had five peak powerhouses, including a sequence powerhouse. Such a force was something that not even the Aeternals would dare to take lightly. This was how humanity should be behaving, by boldly seizing the initiative.
Arrow Sage let out a breath. He wanted to join those four battalions, but someone had to protect the Wall of Purity.
Still, Lu Yin was performing quite satisfactorily.
An alarm suddenly rang across the entire Wall of Purity.
The Sage’s expression changed, and he looked into the distance, his face growing pale. No way.
Beyond the Wall of Purity, an endless horde of corpse kings with several Progenitor-level corpse kings approached. The horde was being led by a True God Guard Captain, Zhong Pan.
At the same time, at the Arboreal Realm’s border, an endless wave of corpse kings also appeared, which were led by another True God Guard Captain.
The Lost Clan’s universe’s border was attacked en masse as well.
Lu Yin was leading four massive battalions across the Endless Frontier. They were strong enough that even the Aeternals were unwilling to directly face the armies. Even if all of the True God Guard Captains gathered together, they might not be able to stop the battalions. Thus, Aeternus had abandoned the Endless Frontier and moved their forces to directly assault the Sixverse Association.
There was a tacit agreement that humanity and Aeternals would use the Endless Frontier as their primary battlefield, and whichever side managed to break through the Endless Frontier would be free to directly attack the other by passing through the Endless Frontier.
The Aeternals had not willingly abandoned the Endless Frontier, but Lu Yin’s threatening army had forced them to abandon the main battlefield. For that reason, they had decided to directly attack the Sixverse Association’s member universes. The Aeternals might’ve lacked the forces to stop Lu Yin’s sharp blade, but they were still strong enough to threaten the rest of the Sixverse Association.
At the Wall of Purity, every arrow that Arrow Sage fired was shattered by Zhong Pan. It only took a single punch for the corpse king to deal with each arrow. The Sage’s Seven Divine Arrows used emotions as weapons, which meant that they were rather ineffective against the Aeternals. Arrow Sage felt that Zhong Pan gave off the same sort of invincibe aura as Lu Yin.
Zhong Pan did not try to break through the Wall of Purity, but instead continued targeting Arrow Sage with all of his attacks.
From far away, Food Sage raced over. "Let me!"
Arrow Sage heaved a sigh of relief. He was not particularly effective against physically powerful opponents, but such opponents were precisely where Food Sage shone the brightest.
Boom!
The impact of the two fists resulted in a deafening noise, but Food Sage was sent flying backwards, his entire arm misshapen. In front of him, he saw that Zhong Pan’s eyes had turned red from a Corpse King Transformation.
Food Sage's true form was a Taotie, and he was extremely powerful, but not even he could measure up to Zhong Pan’s strength after a Red Eyes Transformation.
Zhong Pan charged at Food Sage, punching at him again.
Food Sage gritted his teeth and transformed back into his Taotie form. He roared at the sky as Arrow Sage released another arrow. Food Sage was unable to endure on his own.
At this moment, another Progenitor-level corpse appeared in the distance.
The Transcendent Universe was also facing a terrible crisis.
The Aeternals had attacked the Transcendent universe’s border as well, and the universe was in terrible jeopardy.
Lu Yin looked down on people who used black energy converters, which was why he had rejected Qiu Zhan and Cong Si’s requests to join the crusade.
However, the Aeternals looked down on people who used energy converters in the exact same manner as Lu Yin.
There had been a time when the black energy converters had been enough to fight against ordinary Progenitor-level corpse kings. However, as soon as a True God Guard Captain appeared, the whole Transcendent Universe was thrust into immediate danger.
As soon as the True God Guard Captain appeared, Cong Si was killed. This captain had green hair and was known as Greenridge.
