Lu Yin desperately tried to pull out something that could block the attack, but all of a sudden, a turtle shell appeared in front of him.
It’s appearance startled him, but he saw that it was indeed a turtle shell. He first thought of Dragonturtle, but he would never move in front of Lu Yin to block this attack. Dragonturtle was not suicidal.
The beam struck the turtle shell, and shockingly, the attack was blocked. After that, an all too familiar power descended. The sky itself was pressed down as pressure spread across the entire Scourge.
It was voidforce energy.
Someone stepped in front of Lu Yin. “We’ve been in seclusion for too long, and all of you have had a difficult time of things. You can leave this to me now.”
Lu Yin’s eyes widened. “Lord Xu?”
Sovereign Dou Sheng swayed on his feet as his energy drained away. He had been hanging on by the thinnest thread, and finally, a powerful ally had arrived. This was what the Sovereign had been waiting for.
Lord Xu, the ruler of the Voidforce Universe, was someone powerful enough to participate in the battle where the Great Sovereign had led the top powerhouses of the Sixverse Association against True God and the Seven Skygods. While Sovereign Dou Sheng had mentioned that neither Lord Xu nor Mu Shen were aware of Aeternus’s true strength, their ignorance did not alter their formidable strength.
The Voidlord’s arrival let everyone release sighs of relief, as they had all felt quite outmatched against Shao Yin.
On the side of Aeternus, Shao Yin stopped attacking, and his expression grew. “Xu Jiea.”
Lord Xu stood there, his hands clasped behind him as the turtle shell floated in front of him. He looked quite out of place, yet he exuded an air of being completely unshakeable. “Shao Yin, I never expected you to be capable of reaching such heights. You hid yourself well.”
Shao Yin answered with an arrogant sneer, “So what if you are here? Do you think that you can save them? First save yourself!”
As Shao Yin spoke, another beam shot out, this time attacking Lord Xu.
The man’s eyes flickered. He had to admit that merging yin and yang to open up a new path offered formidable power and impressive sequence particles. It was indeed possible that Shao Yin might have reached a level where he was no weaker than even the Seven Skygods. This would not be an easy battle.
Voidforce energy surged out, and the turtle shell rose up to stop the beam.
There was a boom as the beam slammed into the turtle shell, and the ripples that spread out from the impact tore the void apart and shook the Scourge. Both the sky above and the ground below trembled.
Only then did Lu Yin realize just how terrifyingly powerful the Voidlord was. For a moment, Lu Yin had the impression that Lord Xu was using an ocean to feed a river.
While Shao Yin was not as powerful as Lord Xu, his sequence particles managed to continuously suppress the turtle shell, which prevented Lord Xu from advancing.
The Voidlord’s eyes blazed with murder. They were at the entrance to the Scourge, which meant that Aeternus could send more powerhouses to join the battle at any moment. The humans needed to quickly deal with Shao Yin, or else they might never get another chance to end him.
This thought caused the old man’s expression to grow more determined, and he raised a hand. His voidforce energy surged, as though he intended to flood the Scourge and replace all of the energy within it.
At that moment, divine energy streamed across the Scourge to the entrance, where it then pushed against Lord Xu’s power.
The old man gritted his teeth and tore the void open to establish a connection to the Voidforce Universe. He then drew on the energy of the entire universe, as all of it was his. As he did so, all the Void Supremas from the Voidforce Universe, such as Xu Wuwei, Xu Wuji, Void Heng, and Xu Leng, took action. They channeled their own voidforce energy towards Lord Xu and the Scourge, helping their ruler.
Lord Xu pressed his hand down.
Shao Yin felt puzzled. He was confident that he could not be suppressed by any amount of voideforce energy. The cultivators of the Voidforce Universe had a natural advantage against enemies from other universes due to how they were able to manipulate a greater amount of energy than what they personally possessed. However, at the sequence powerhouse level, just how much more voidforce energy could Lord Xu wield?
“You’ve grown old, Xu Jiea.” Shao Yin stepped forward, his dark-green and blazingly bright energy surrounding his body as they intertwined. His unified energy then shot into the sky, piercing the veil that the Voidlord had dropped over the battle. A hole was opened up, and then forcibly expanded. Shao Yin intended to overpower Lord Xu’s voidforce energy with sequence particles.
Lu Yin was startled to see this development. It was clear to him that Shao Yin’s sequence particles were in no way inferior to those used by Undying God or Shaman God. It was no wonder why Shao Yin was so confident, even though he was facing the Voidlord. It was understandable why Shao Yin had even claimed that he would destroy the entire Sixverse Association. He truly was as strong as the Seven Skygods.
Lord Xu frowned. “Old or not, I’ll still kill you.”
As he spoke, the voidforce energy that had filled the entire region suddenly condensed and gathered upon Shao Yin. This sudden change caught the man off guard. Not only was he surrounded by voidforce energy, but it was also permeated with Lord Xu’s sequence particles, and they had combined into a rather odd shape.
Lu Yin felt quite puzzled. “A thermometer?”
Everyone stared in astonishment as what greatly resembled a primitive thermometer formed around Shao Yin. The whole thing was reinforced with Lord Xu’s sequence particles. Lu Yin was able to very clearly see this.
The laws of the universe that Lord Xu had mastered might not be as impressive as Shao Yin, who had merged yin and yang into a unified path. That merged power was powerful enough to let Shao Yin face off against even Sovereign Dou Sheng, which meant that Lord Xu was at a disadvantage in raw power. However, the Voidlord had just done something that was completely impossible for Shao Yin.
It could be said that Lord Xu had perfectly merged his sequence particles with his voidforce energy when forming the thermometer, but what was its purpose?
Sovereign Dou Sheng’s voice reached Lu Yin’s ears. “As long as no one else interferes, Shao Yin is doomed now.”
Lu Yin arched a brow as he stared into the distance.
The rulers of the Sixverse Association’s member universes rarely took action, but when they did, they usually fought against the Seven Skygods.
Lord Xu was no exception. He had always fought against the Seven Skygods, but because of the need to maintain a certain balance, no decisive battle had ever erupted. This was why Shao Yin was completely unaware of Lord Xu’s true strength. The same was also true of Sovereign Lotus. Of the three Sovereigns, only Sovereign Dou Sheng had ever seen Lord Xu’s true strength.
The Great Sovereign had cooperated with the rulers of various parallel universes to fight against True God and the Seven Skygods, and Sovereign Dou Sheng had witnessed that battle.
He had seen the power that Lord Xu had kept hidden, which was his thermometer. Its name was the Thermometer of Life.
During the previous battle, Lord Xu had injured Ancient God with his Thermometer of Life, which had astonished Sovereign Dou Sheng.
Even at this moment, Shao Yin was clearly inferior to Ancient God, and he was unable to break free from the thermometer with his own power.
The True God Guard Captains, including Zhong Pan, had not taken action yet. It appeared as if they had only been sent here to provide divine energy.
Within the Thermometer of Life, Shao Yin remained indifferent even as he tried to break free with his sequence particles. However, he quickly realized that it was impossible to breach the thermometer. Lord Xu had summoned too much voidforce energy, and this thermometer was also reinforced by his own sequence particles.
Everyone stared in amazement.
There were five markings on the Thermometer of Life, separating it into six sections which corresponded to forty, forty-one, forty-two, forty-three, forty-four, and forty-five degrees.
These temperatures were meaningless to cultivators.
Lord Xu’s expression grew stern. He raised a hand, and the temperature rose to forty degrees.
Shao Yin started to shiver, and he held his head. He felt nauseous and extremely uncomfortable. What was this feeling? Why was he suffering so much?
Lu Yin also felt confused. “What is that?”
Lord Xu spoke casually as he continued to stare straight ahead. “For ordinary humans, forty degrees is a very high fever.”
Lu Yin wondered. “Are you saying that he’s sick?”
