Chapter 2728 – On The Verge Of Breaking Out


At this moment, Luo Shan did not know what to do.


"Monarch Luo, why aren’t you doing anything? Where is Sage Yuan?" Xia Shenji lost his patience. He was already imagining the sight of Lu Yin being surrounded and killed by everyone involved. The Progenitor had waited too long for this day to arrive.


In outer s.p.a.ce, in the Fifth Mainland, Lu Yin stared at Monarch Luo. Would the man attack, or would he refrain from launching a war on the Fifth Mainland?


Lu Yin was prepared.


If war broke out, he would do whatever it took. Given Lu Yin’s current power, as well as the support of Arch-Elder Zen, Mu Xie, the three peak powerhouses that could be summoned from the Invest.i.ture of the G.o.ds, the jiao, E Chi, Master Shan, and Cloudflow, then even if the four ruling powers joined forces with the Three Monarchs Universe, the final victor would be difficult to predict.


If more of the Sixverse a.s.sociation tried to intervene, the Lost Clan would not just watch from the side. They still expected Lu Yin’s help in attracting the Primeval card after all.


The Voidforce Universe would not help either side, while the Transcendent Universe was in no position to help anyone.


The Sixverse a.s.sociation’s greatest enemy had always been Aeternus, and if too much of the Sixverse a.s.sociation’s power was diverted from the frontlines, they would not be able to defend it properly.


Even so, that was a.s.suming that Xu Heng, Xu Leng, and others did not take action. As long as they cherished their friendship with Lu Yin, even if they were unwilling to help the Origin Universe, he was certain that they would have no problem delaying Sage Yuan.


No matter how Lu Yin looked at the situation, he was confident about opening the spatial pa.s.sage.


The bottom line was that no matter what price needed to be paid after the pa.s.sage was opened, it would not be as painful as having the Origin Universe be annexed to the Endless Frontier.


Any universe that joined the Endless Frontier would be inundated in an endless war. No one could estimate just how many people would die at that time.


If the Sixverse a.s.sociation really wanted to make a move against the Origin Universe, then it was time for Lu Yin to reveal his cards. At this moment, everything depended on Monarch Luo’s choice.


If he decided to attack, the Origin Universe would not end up as a part of the Endless Frontier. If the man refused to start a war, then there would be no avoiding the Origin Universe’s fate, and Lu Yin would also have to resolve things with the four ruling powers. The four ruling powers were also part of the Origin Universe, and if things were forced to a head, then Lu Yin would join with the four ruling powers to fight against the Three Monarchs Universe.


Regardless, Lu Yin’s pa.s.siveness had ended, and he had decided to take action. Going forward, Sovereign Shao Yin would not have an easy time if he wanted to scheme against the Origin Universe.


The Three Monarchs Universe could join forces with the four ruling powers to divide the Fifth Mainland between them, but Lu Yin was also capable of setting aside his personal hatred and joining with the four ruling powers to divide up the Three Monarchs Universe.



Things had changed so quickly that Monarch Luo was unable to react for a while.


Xia Shenji"s urging made the Monarch increasingly anxious.


At this moment, the rainbow wall faced a new threat, as Forgotten Ruins G.o.d had returned.


"We fight the Aeternals first!" Monarch Luo shouted, as he turned and headed towards the rainbow wall.


Xia Shenji gritted his teeth. He desperately wanted to attack.


In the Fifth Mainland, Progenitor Smoke and Progenitor Nong stood in the middle of the crowd. Mu Xie had already returned to Shenwu Continent, and he glared at Specter Progenitor and Xia Shenji.


"Bai w.a.n.gyuan, do you really want to fight to the death?" Lu Yin shouted.


Bai w.a.n.gyuan saw that Monarch Luo had not taken action, and Sage Yuan also had not appeared. If the four ruling powers were willing to fight Lu Yin to the death on their own, then they would not have waited so long to attack.


"Lu Xiaoxuan, the pa.s.sage has been opened. Do you still want to seal it?"


Lu Yin glared at Bai w.a.n.gyuan and then turned his eyes to w.a.n.g Fan, Xia Qin, before finally glaring at Xia Shenji who was still on the other end of the spatial pa.s.sage. Hatred and killing intent blazed in the Progenitor’s eyes. "We’ll leave everything to fate!"


The pa.s.sage has been opened, and there was no avoiding interaction with the Three Monarchs Universe. There could be war, or there could be peace, but the chances of peace between the two parallel universes were simply too low.


Regardless of Luo Shan’s thoughts on the matter, Sovereign Shao Yin would never be willing to make things easy for the Origin Universe.


Bai w.a.n.gyuan and others from the four ruling powers had no intention of leaving, and they remained on Shenwu Continent. They could not allow Lu Yin to reseal the spatial pa.s.sage. As far as they were concerned, the Fifth Mainland was done for.


In the Three Monarchs Universe, Luo Shan dealt with the Aeternals’ attack, while also trying to get in touch with Sovereign Shao Yin. The Monarch asked someone to send a message to Sovereign Shao Yin and inform the man that the Three Monarchs Universe could no longer agree to let the Origin Universe be merged into the Endless Frontier.


Sovereign Shao Yin was far away in the Cyclic Universe when he received Luo Shan"s message, and he immediately made his way to the Three Monarchs Universe, a gloomy expression on his face.


Someone like Luo Shan actually dared to stand against Sovereign Shao Yin? The Sovereign had been the one to help the Three Monarchs Universe join the Sixverse a.s.sociation. Without him, Luo Shan would have died on the Endless Frontier long ago.


Beyond the rainbow wall, Forgotten Ruins G.o.d’s eyes flickered as she peered into the Three Monarchs Universe. "Is that the pa.s.sage that connects to the Origin Universe? This is quite interesting… So, no matter if we capture this universe or that one, we can get both at the same time. Luo Shan, can you really stop us?"


Luo Shan calmly replied, "Throughout all these years, have you ever set foot in my Three Monarchs Universe?"


Forgotten Ruins G.o.d responded with a slight smile. "How arrogant. Just because we haven"t set foot in there yet doesn"t mean that we are unable to do so. Do you want me to actually try?"


As the woman spoke, multiple wolf heads appeared. It was her Sky-Devouring Nine Wolves. An unmatched power swept forward, and the impact caused the entire rainbow wall to sway.


Luo Shan"s eyes instantly flared, and he was put on edge.


Xia Shenji frowned. These monsters from the ancient era were each quite terrifying. No one knew just how powerful the founding ancestor of the w.a.n.g family had become after living for so long.


The image of the Seven SkyG.o.ds’ attack on the Perennial World was still vividly etched into his mind. Despite all of the Perennial World acting together, they had still failed to prevent Undying G.o.d from entering the Perennial World. Each of the ancient monsters had their own unique abilities.


"w.a.n.g Miaomiao!" a sharp shout echoed from the distance.


Luo Shan was thrilled to see that Sovereign Shao Yin had arrived.


Xia Shenji, Monarch Xing, and Chen Le each looked over as well.


The Sovereign’s golden robes exuded an incredible aura of n.o.bility. His arrival instantly countered the pressure of the Sky-Devouring Nine Wolves, and every cultivator both inside and outside the rainbow wall breathed a sigh of relief.


Forgotten Ruins G.o.d was surprised. "You actually came to the front lines? You aren’t hiding at home for once?"


Sovereign Shao Yin stepped upon the rainbow wall and stared outwards. "Master should have destroyed traitors like you long ago. Look at how brazen you are now!"


"Haha, you speak as though the Great Sovereign can actually do that! Besides, who are you to say what the Great Sovereign should do?" Forgotten Ruins G.o.d mocked.


Sovereign Shao Yin answered with a contemptuous snort as he waved a hand. Cold air broke away from the rainbow wall and shot outwards across s.p.a.ce.


Forgotten Ruins G.o.d was taken aback. "You’re actually taking action? In that case, let"s see just how long you can protect them for."


With that, she withdrew.


Once Forgotten Ruins G.o.d left, Sovereign Shao Yin glanced over at Luo Shan in a threatening manner. "Why is that pa.s.sage open?"


There was also an ugly expression on Luo Shan"s face. "The four ruling powers opened it."


Sovereign Shao Yin’s eyes narrowed. "Are they aware of my proposal?"


Luo Shan shook his head. "If they had learned about it, they would not have merely opened the pa.s.sage. They have been constantly trying to come up with a way to open that pa.s.sage and cooperate with us to deal with the descendant of the Lu family. Their actions have nothing to do with your proposal, but…"


The Monarch stared at Sovereign Shao Yin. "Now that the pa.s.sage is open, I cannot agree to your proposal, as it will cause my Three Monarchs Universe to also become a part of the Endless Frontier."


Sovereign Shao Yin could not argue with that. When he had first learned that the pa.s.sage had been opened, he had immediately understood why Luo Shan had announced that he could no longer support the Sovereign’s proposal. After all, Sovereign Shao Yin would have made the same decision in Monarch Luo’s place.


However, the Sovereign was still unwilling to allow the Origin Universe to escape the disaster he had prepared for them.


It appeared that the Aeternals no longer had any intentions of targeting the Origin Universe and making trouble for the people there, which meant that the Sixverse a.s.sociation was essentially fighting to protect the Origin Universe. They were the ones responsible for the rise of Aeternus, as their Heavens Sect had been too arrogant. Why should the Sixverse a.s.sociation be forced to take responsibility?


"We’ll still push the Origin Universe onto the Endless Frontier, even if the pa.s.sage has been opened," Sovereign Shao Yin said as he looked over. "Just continue with what you agreed to before. The Lu family needs to pay for the Heavens Sect’s responsibility. No one can be exempted, not even the Lu family."


Luo Shan"s eyes grew frantic. "I understand, but the rainbow wall…"


"I will protect it for you." Sovereign Shao Yin clasped his hands behind his back as he stared out from the rainbow wall. "Master is already very dissatisfied with the situation in that universe, and while I cannot attack the Origin Universe for you, I can protect the rainbow wall. What happens at the rainbow wall or within the Origin Universe has nothing to do with me. Do you understand?"


Luo Shan took a deep breath. "When I enter the Origin Universe, I will not forget this kindness, Sovereign."


A smile spread across Sovereign Shao Yin"s face. He did not actually care about the Origin Universe, but rather about the Great Sovereign"s thoughts.


Sovereign Shao Yin understood just how much the Great Sovereign hated the Origin Universe. If not for the bigger picture, why else would the Great Sovereign forbid people from entering that universe? With an open pa.s.sage connecting the Origin Universe to the Three Monarchs Universe, it was perfectly logical for Luo Shan to attack the other universe. This was the way of the megaverse. Master, you will surely be happy, right?



What was coming was inevitable. 


The day after the spatial pa.s.sage was opened, Luo Shan entered the Fifth Mainland, and he took his place alongside Bai w.a.n.gyuan and the others from the four ruling powers to confront Lu Yin and those with him.


They stood in outer s.p.a.ce, with Shenwu Continent between them. To the south stood Luo Shan, Bai w.a.n.gyuan, Xia Shenji, Specter Progenitor, Bai Sheng, and Progenitor Long. There were six peak powerhouses.


To the north stood Mu Xie, Arch-Elder Zen, Lu Yin, and Grandmaster Gu Yan, who stood atop the jiao.


While Grandmaster Gu Yan was not a Progenitor, as an Array Grandmaster, the Sealing Path sourcebox array that had been pushed aside gave him the ability to just barely stand at the same level of power as the others present.


Even so, Lu Yin’s side was facing six peak powerhouses, including someone as powerful as Bai w.a.n.gyuan. Lu Yin’s forces appeared far too weak.


Xia Shenji was getting excited. He had waited too long for this day. He had been the one to chase after the b.a.s.t.a.r.d of the Lu family after he was exposed in the Perennial World, but the brat had only grown more and more powerful, and he had even become the master of revived Heavens Sect. The higher the brat rose, the more Xia Shenji felt as though he was the one being hunted and laughed at, but that was finally going to end.


Bai Xian"er had broken through to become a Semi-Progenitor, and Lu Yin had not been able to stop her.


The four ruling powers had joined forces with Luo Shan, and they also had the support of the Cyclic Universe. There was no longer any need to maintain any sort of “balance.”


Even when Progenitor Nong moved over and joined Lu Yin"s side, Progenitor Smoke remained in the middle. It was impossible for anyone to sway the four ruling powers’ determination.


"Nong Yi, you are seeking death!" Xia Shenji stated frigidly.


Nong Yi shrugged. He did not want to get involved in this matter, but if he did not help Lu Yin, once the four ruling powers achieved victory, Progenitor Nong would suffer the same fate as Liu Yue. The four ruling powers would no longer let any external powers that might be capable of standing against them exist, not even a Progenitor.


Progenitor Smoke left without ever saying a word. As she had previously stated, the only time she would get involved was when it concerned Aeternus. She would do her best to prevent war, but if that was impossible, then she would simply wash her hands of the matter.


She was not the same as Nong Yi and was not nearly so easy to deal with. Even if Bai w.a.n.gyuan and other Progenitors from the four ruling powers wanted to eliminate the woman, they would have to take many precautions. The master of one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas was not on the same level as Nong Yi.


Bai Sheng spoke up. "Grandmaster Gu Yan, why do you insist on wading into these muddy waters?"


The Array Grandmaster sighed. "I have lived a life of luxury and decadence, and I have already had my fill of such enjoyments. My most beloved disciple died at the bottom of this Tower of Resonating Light, and my most cherished friend is at my side. If I don"t help him, then who should I help?"


Lu Yin had lost his memories, but he had learned from Grandmaster Gu Yan that the Array Grandmaster had been very good friends with Lu Xiaoxuan, and the two had often gone to Food Paradise to enjoy delicious food.
