"What? The Ancient Lightning Locust returned?" The Ice Lord was stunned.
The Progenitor-level Ice Spirit replied, "Clearly, after the beast was exiled to that parallel universe by the Lord of Lightning, it should not have been able to return, and yet it has. This must be the work of Aeternus."
The Ice Lord looked at the frenzied corpse that was still continuously melting the sequence particles that kept it frozen in place. The Aeternals had been scheming against them for far too long.
It was clear that they had been eyeing Whitecloud for a long time. After all, the gravest threat that Whitecloud had ever faced was the Ancient Lightning Locust.
Some time ago, the Lord of Lightning and several others had teamed up. After working together and exploiting the Ancient Lightning Locust’s weaknesses, they had trapped it in a maze in a parallel universe. How could it have returned so quickly? The only explanation was that the Aeternals had intervened. They had been watching all along, found the Ancient Lightning Locust, and led it out of the maze so that it could attack Whitecloud.
If they had known that the Ancient Lightning Locust could return, there might have never been a consensus to unite and invade the Scourge.
The Five Spirits Alliance enjoyed a very good relationship with Whitecloud, but the Luna Alliance did not. They were simply angry that they had been targeted by Aeternus because of Whitecloud’s affairs. Even then, Yue Shen had to pretend to be dead during an attack, which allowed the three different groups to join together and invade the Scourge.
In the end, it appeared that the Aeternals had been one step ahead since the very beginning.
"Evacuate the Ice Spirit Domain and find a way to send this monster to another parallel universe. Notify Whitecloud, and have them ask for outside help. We need to unite to fight against the Aeternals," the Ice Lord shouted, this was the only option that he could think of.
The Ice Spirit Tribe was not alone, as the other four members of the Five Spirits Alliance and the members of the Luna Alliance also immediately sought help.
The frenzied corpses were extremely difficult to kill, and if any other Aeternals appeared, it would be impossible to deal with them.
Moon Fairy quickly returned from Yu Huo’s native universe.
Despite trying to never underestimate Aeternus, they had still underestimated them.
No one knew just how powerful the Aeternals truly were, but they had managed to destroy the Heavens Sect, which had once been visited by thousands of races.
Their foundation and various back-up plans were the reasons why the Aeternals were able to instantly regain a strategic advantage.
In the Origin Universe, the Heavens Sect welcomed Jiang Chen. He was received by Arch-Elder Zen.
"Where's Brother Lu?" Jiang Chen asked anxiously.
Arch-Elder Zen replied, "The Dao Monarch is cultivating in seclusion. What happened?"
Jiang Chen solemnly explained, "Aeternus has launched an all-out war against Whitecloud and our subordinates. I want to ask the Sixverse Assocation to help."
Arch-Elder Zen's expression changed. "An all-out war? True God and the Seven Skygods are still in seclusion. How can the Aeternals launch an all-out war like this?"
Jiang Chen said, "I can't explain this with just a sentence or two, as it involves Aeternus’s master plan. We’ve struck a sore spot recently, even if we didn’t rush when we attacked the Scourge."
Arch-Elder Zen thought he must have misheard. "You also attacked the Scourge?"
"Senior, I really can’t wait. I need to speak with Brother Lu."
Arch-Elder Zen was facing a dilemma. "If at all possible, I would let you, but unfortunately, I can’t contact him myself."
Arch-Elder Zen was not simply trying to be evasive. Jiang Chen could see that the Heavens Sect was more concerned than anyone else when it came to Aeternus.
"With Brother Lu gone, who can make a decision for the Sixverse Association?" Jiang Chen asked anxiously.
While the Lord of Lightning had thought that they had everything under control, they had underestimated Aeternus’s determination to eliminate Whitecloud. Aeternus had brought back the Ancient Lightning Locust, which meant that they had known about its location for some time. Whitecloud had believed the beast to be banished forever, but the Aeternals had clearly investigated it beforehand and simply chosen to not rescue the beast. It had been kept in reserve for if and when the Aeternals decided to start a war with Whitecloud.
At the moment, Jiang Feng and the others were being held back by the Ancient Lightning Locust while the Five Spirits Alliance and the Luna Alliance were asking for reinforcements. In an instant, they had been overwhelmed by Aeternus.
This was a similar level of pressure as to what the Sixverse Association had always faced. Finally, Whitecloud was seeing something similar.
As soon as Jiang Chen left, Arch-Elder Zen reached out to the Lu family. Whitecloud had asked for help, and the Heavens Sect could not ignore that request.
However, before the Heavens Sect could even react, frenzied corpses appeared on the rear battlefield, as well as in the Cyclic Universe and the Arboreal Realm.
Lu Tianyi looked at the rear battlefield, where Leng Qing was struggling with a frenzied corpse.
"I didn't expect Aeternus to create another group of frenzied corpses." Lu Tianyi was stunned. While the Five Spirits Alliance knew nothing about these monsters, and perhaps Whitecloud as well, how could the Origin Universe be as ignorant?
They had fought against the Aeternals for far too many years and had obtained a good understanding of the Aeternals' strength.
"These monsters are able to ignore sequence particles, and their bodies are so tough that it’s nearly impossible to kill them. We’ll suffer greatly if we fight them directly. As long as they're left alone, they destroy whatever they see. They have no intelligence and are just killing machines," Lu Qi said.
As Lu Tianyi stared at the rear battlefield, Leng Qing's blade struck the frenzied corpse, though there was not even a trace of any damage.
"A frenzied corpse is easy to deal with, though that’s only for people like us. The rulers of the Sixverse Association are all in seclusion, which is what makes these frenzied corpses so difficult for the Sixverse Association to deal with, let alone Whitecloud."
"What did Whitecloud do to Aeternus to actually make them bring out these frenzied corpses? Not even the Aeternals can control these things. As soon as they’re released, they can’t be taken back. They’re basically consumables, and even the Aeternals will feel this steep price.”
Lu Tianyi looked solemn. "This really is an all-out war. The Aeternals are serious this time.
"Since they’ve released these monsters, they have no intention of taking them back. The best way to deal with these frenzied corpses is to lure them away, but the Aeternals have already placed divine energy wherever they released the frenzied corpses, which drives them crazy. They are drawn to the divine energy, destroying everything there."
Lu Tianyi then disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in the sky above the New World, where Leng Qing was fighting against the frenzied corpse.
Leng Qing had tried everything he could think of, but nothing could hurt the frenzied corpse. However, the monster was similarly unable to harm the Progenitor. On top of that, if Leng Qing could not be seen by the frenzied corpse, the monster would do nothing to the man. The frenzied corpse would only destroy whatever it saw.
As soon as Lu Tianyi appeared, he dropped down in front of the frenzied corpse.
The monster stared at Lu Tianyi with its completely scarlet eyes. It let out a roar and raised its hand to grab the Progenitor. There was no sign of any combat ability at all.
In the face of the frenzied corpse, Lu Tianyi simply raised a finger and pointed at the monster.
The fingertip touched the frenzied corpse’s palm, and the monster froze in place. Starting from its palm, its body started to break apart. The phenomena spread across its entire body, until the entire thing shattered as Leng Qing stared on in shock.
Leng Qing took a long look at Lu Tianyi. This was a level of strength that Leng Qing could not even imagine.
He felt certain that not even most Sequence Progenitors could do anything to the frenzied corpse, and yet Lu Tianyi had shattered it with just one finger. It seemed that nothing could stop the man.
Nutjob Lu had been dealt with so simply, and so had the frenzied corpse.
Lu Tianyi pulled his hand back. "Those things are quite tough."
