In the opposite direction of Old Mo, someone was also hiding: Luo Shan.

As he looked at the incredible fight around the Heavens Sect, Luo Shan’s eyes narrowed. He had not expected the Heavens Sect to have kept so much power hidden in reserve. That person must be Cloudflow. I see, so someone from the Heavens Sect attacked the Transcendent Universe.

Luo Shan did not know how Lu Yin had done it, but clearly, both he and the entire Sixverse Association had been underestimating the Heavens Sect and Lu Yin.

The boy had already joined the Sixverse Association, which meant that it was also possible that Little Mu’s disappearance had been caused by the Heavens Sect.

This thought made the Monarch want to kill all the traitors first.

On the other side of the Heavens Sect, Chen Le shot out an arrow. A corpse king looked up with slitted scarlet eyes and roared, only to have the arrow’s impact cut the roar short.

Chen Le's expression remained unchanged as he continued to loose arrows.

He could kill the corpse king just by using his Progenitor’s world, but what would happen after that? Chen Le would just have to fight other corpse kings.

He looked around at the Aeternals’ various corpse kings that remained some distance away, as well as the terrifying captains of the True God Guard. Chen Le did not want to move along.

Chen Le had heard about the True God Guard from Monarch Luo, and that included their captains.

While the captains of the True God Guard were not as powerful as the Seven Skygods, they were still beyond Chen Le’s level.

Every last one of the captains was a terrifying expert who could be considered among the most powerful in their realm. Chen Le did not want to die.

The corpse king charged at him again, only to be repelled by another arrow.

Out of the corner of his eye, Chen Le saw that Monarch Xing was also fighting against a corpse king in the distance.

He truly could not say whether the Heavens Sect would survive this day, which was why Chen Le felt that it was best to consider his options. He refused to die for Lu Yin.

Suddenly, he felt a terrible sense of danger, and Chen Le quickly moved away from where he had been standing.

Nothing?

However, the sense of impending danger grew increasingly intense, and it caused his hair to stand on end. Who was it? Who was targeting him?

Chen Le's expression changed drastically, and he looked up ahead. At some point in time, someone had appeared, and they were staring at Chen Le with eyes that blazed with a cold killing intent.

Chen Le's pupils instantly shrank. "Monarch Luo?"

A smile spread across Luo Shan's mouth. "It’s been a long time, Chen Le."

Chen Le's face grew pale as he stared at Luo Shan. "You, aren't you on the Endless Frontier?"

"Just one question: why did you betray me?" Luo Shan’s voice was glacial.

Chen Le gulped. He did not know the limits of Luo Shan's strength. At first, Chen Le had believed that Luo Shan was merely pretending to be strong and that had gained the Great Sovereign’s favor by offering her tea. Chen Le had always believed that Luo Shan was not particularly powerful and that he could not compare to Mr. Daheng, let alone the Great Sovereign. That was why Chen Le had never considered asking for Luo Shan’s help after the Semi-Monarch had fallen under Mr. Daheng’s control.

Even so, there was no denying that Luo Shan was more powerful than Chen Le.

The creator of monarch essence was no weakling. Even if Luo Shan was not quite as powerful as Mr. Daheng, it would not be a struggle for the Monarch to kill Chen Le.

Cold sweat fell from Chen Le’s forehead. "I had no choice, Lu Yin forced me. If I didn’t join the Heavens Sect, he would have killed me."

Luo Shan's eyes were cold. "We guided you and taught you. You have always cultivated with monarch essence, and yet you ultimately betrayed me. Just die."

Luo Shan’s hand rose to grab at Chen Le.

The Monarch was terrified. "Monarch Luo, if you attack me right now, you will be betraying the entire Sixverse Association and helping Aeternus!"

Luo Shan completely ignored Chen Le. An arrow was loosed, but Luo Shan simply raised a hand and crushed it.

A corpse king fell from up above and punched at Chen Le.

In a life or death crisis, Chen Le spread out his arms and caused a huge arrow to appear. This was the Highwind Arrow, his Progenitor’s world.

The arrow shot out, simultaneously aimed at both Luo Shan and the corpse king.

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm Luo Shan grabbed the arrow with his hand, shattering it inch by inch. The same thing happened to Chen Le's body.

He spat out a mouthful of blood as he stared at Luo Shan in disbelief. "You?""Trash, you think you know everything about me?"

The corpse king's fist did not strike Chen Le. Instead, Luo Shan casually smashed the corpse king aside, reducing it to pieces. He was exposing his full strength at this moment, and Chen Le was startled. This was impossible. This person was able to simultaneously kill both the corpse king and Chen Le in an instant. Luo Shan’s strength was clearly not what Chen Le had thought it to be.

Luo Shan raised his hand to grab hold of Chen Le once again. "I will show you just how a traitor should die."

"Stop!" Monarch Xing said as she arrived, breathing heavily.

Luo Shan looked at her, clearly torn. "You also betrayed me."

Monarch Xing frowned. "The people of the Starlight Universe were brought to this universe by the Heavens Sect. There was nothing that I could do."

Luo Shan's eyes softened a great deal.

"Luo Shan, let him go," Monarch Xing said softly.

Luo Shan's eyes grew cold again. "You want me to let this traitor go?"

"If you kill him, you will be branded a traitor of the Sixverse Association. He is fighting against Aeternus, defending the Heavens Sect, which has become a member of the Sixverse Association. Is killing him worth betraying the Sixverse Association?" Monarch Xing asked, her face turning red.

Luo Shan stared at Monarch Xing, gazing into her eyes, and he smiled. "How many years have we known each other?"

Monarch Xing was startled by the question. "I can’t remember."

"You've never looked at me like this before."

"Let him go."

"I hate this traitor, I hate the Heavens Sect, I hate Lu Yin, and I hate the Great Sovereign even more. But," Luo Shan paused as he stared at Monarch Xing. "I can’t hate anything about you."

Monarch Xing's heart trembled. Humans were not grass or trees, so how could they be heartless? Luo Shan had once risked his life to enter the Endless Frontier and rescue the people of the Starlight Universe for Monarch Xing. Despite the fact that she had cooperated with him to protect the Three Monarchs Universe, no matter how many years had passed, Luo Shan had never once forced anything upon Monarch Xing.

Monarch Xing's eyes also softened. "Brother Luo, don't become a traitor."

Luo Shan's eye twitched, and his hand slowly relaxed.lightsnovel

Chen Le scrambled back, staring at Luo Shan in horror. He had almost died.

Chen Le had not expected Luo Shan to actually be this powerful. If the Monarch had known, he would have confessed. Maybe Luo Shan could have broken Mr. Daheng’s control over Chen Le, which would have changed everything.

Luo Shan turned around and left.

"Brother Luo, if you still want to stay in the Sixverse Association, then help protect the Heavens Sect! This isn’t helping Lu Yin, but rather helping yourself!" Monarch Xing shouted.

Luo Shan did not look back, instead quietly asking, "If I can find a universe where I can live, will you come with me?"

Monarch Xing stared at Luo Shan's leaving figure, not uttering a word.

Luo Shan gave a bitter smile as he took a step forward. "What the Heavens Sect and Lu Yin owe me must be repaid. I won't do anything to him, but I can still open the passage that is connected to the Three Monarchs Universe. If Lu Yin wants to join the Sixverse Association so much, then he can take my place on the Endless Frontier.”

Monarch Xing was startled. "Brother Luo!"

Luo Shan was already gone. He had gone to Shenwu Continent.

Elsewhere on the battlefield, Lu Buzheng stared at the Progenitor-level corpse king in front of him. A feeling of nervousness mounted within the Semi-Progenitor. He felt as though he was being targeted by something or someone.

He dodged the corpse king’s attack and then used the Tri-Yang Ancestral Qi Technique, attempting to summon Destiny.

He had already failed in his attempt several times, but this time, he managed to succeed. He quickly divined the source of his unease.

"No! It's actually him?" Lu Buzheng's expression changed drastically. That sneaky bastard Mo Shang was actually present. He had not come sooner or later, but rather at the worst possible moment.

Who in the Heavens Sect was capable of stopping Mo Shang?

Old Mo was a monster who was able to manipulate the laws of the universe. Even without the Aeternals’ attack, the Heavens Sect would need to bring its full strength to bear to resist such a person. Even then, it was hard to say who would win. At the moment, there was no way to stop Mo Shang.

Lu Buzheng remained calm. He did not dare to search for signs of Old Mo. The old monster had not attacked yet, and as long as he did not do so, there would be hope.Lu Buzheng would never dare to ask Old Mo to help the Heavens Sect fight against Aeternus. Given the man’s personality, it would be good as long as he did not help the Aeternals.

The sense of crisis suddenly spiked, and Lu Buzheng felt like a beam was focused on his back.

His expression changed, and he shouted, "I'm going to attempt my breakthrough!"

His shout drew the attention of Destina, Hen Xin, and Leng Qing.

They all assumed that Lu Buzhen was warning them, so they quickly retreated.

Old Mo, who had been ready to attack, froze in confusion. "His Progenitor’s tribulation?"

He did not dare to get closer. Lu Buzheng’s Progenitor’s tribulation would certainly not be small, and if Old Mo were implicated, it would be difficult for him to stay alive.

However, even in the worst case scenario where Lu Buzhen succeeded, what of it? At best, he would be able to match Leng Qing’s strength, which meant that Old Mo had nothing to worry about at all.

It would actually be better if Lu Buzheng became a Progenitor. Old Mo sneered. "I’ll let you taste the joy of becoming a Progenitor before I shove you into the abyss! Lu Buzheng, you asked for this. Without the Lu family, what are you? How could you be worthy of summoning Destiny? Bah!”

Lu Buzheng could feel that the crisis had passed for the moment. He breathed out a sigh of relief at successfully scaring Old Mo. No, Lu Buzheng was not truly triggering his tribulation. Still, if the tribulation did not appear, Old Mo would immediately see that there was a problem.

Thinking about this, Lu Buzheng spat out some blood while saying, "I need to wait and recover a bit first.”

In front of him, the corpse king attacked.

Lu Buzheng and the corpse king were once again locked in fierce combat.

Old Mo frowned as he waited. Rather than killing Lu Buzheng at this moment, it would be more satisfying to kill him after he successfully became a Progenitor. Destroying the man’s hard work would be better.

Lu Buzheng needed to feel true despair.

Luo Shan soon arrived at Shenwu Continent and attacked the Tower of Resonating Light.

No one dared to try to stop him. Mu Xie, who had been protecting the continent, was also fighting at the Heavens Sect. There was no one protecting the seal, so it was immediately broken by Luo Shan.

The Sealing Path sourcebox array also shattered as a result.

With the seal broken, the Three Monarchs Universe was once again connected to the Origin Universe, and countless corpse kings poured through into Shenwu Continent.

Luo Shan sneered. No one is getting away with this.

Mu Xie noticed what happened at Shenwu Continent, but he was unable to leave the battle. His opponent was Ju Ji, and she was very difficult to deal with. She could somehow transform all attacks into two-dimensional ones, and Mu Xie was unable to determine whether this was related to an innate gift, or to sequence particles. Logically speaking, this ability should not be connected to sequence particles, but if it was really an innate gift, then it was one that was extremely difficult to deal with.

Mu Xie was capable of holding back people like Bai Wangyuan with his endless endurance, but the Aeternals were able to send a Progenitor-level powerhouse who was capable of keeping Mu Xie occupied.

"I suggest that you don’t get distracted. A moment of carelessness can lead to your death, when facing us captains of the True God Guard," Ju Ji said coldly.

…

In the Cyclic Universe, above the Tea Ceremony’s area, Lu Yin was still struggling against Sovereign Shao Yin. Each of the Seven Skygods had their own opponents, and the entire Endless Frontier was full of fighting. No one would dare to say that one side held a definite advantage.

In the Heavens Sect, Lu Buzheng continued to fight against the same corpse king. Half an hour passed, and Old Mo could not wait any longer. If Lu Buzheng failed during his stellular tribulation and died, then Old Mo would lose any and all chance to get revenge. He could not wait any longer.

Lu Buzhen felt the same sort of crisis once again, and he pushed back the corpse king. "I'm going to challenge my tribulation!"

Again, Old Mo stopped, both surprised and uncertain.

However, even after he waited for some time, there was no stellular tribulation above Lu Buzheng.

Old Mo’s brow furrowed, and he once again prepared to attack, but each time he did so, Lu Buzheng would shout about his tribulation.

Old Mo grew angry. He could see that the bastard was putting on a show. Did Lu Buzheng somehow know that he was waiting to attack him? It was not out of the question. The child from the Lu family could have reported Old Mo’s existence, and Lu Buzheng was able to summon Destiny, which gave him access to divination. It was certainly possible that Lu Buzheng knew that Old Mo was nearby.

At this thought, Old Mo's eyes blazed with rage. Damn him! He used to threaten me with Destiny, and now he threatens me with his tribulation! Does he really think that he can scare me? He’s seeking death!

Old Mo decided to attack no matter what this time.
