Chapter 2041

Eh? Suddenly, Lu Yin stared across the battlefield to a place between Whiteless G.o.d and Jue Yi. Further back, there was a sea of slitted scarlet eyes, and within them, there was something familiar. Was Lu Yin really seeing correctly? Was that the Ghost Monkey?

Lu Yin"s eyes flared, and he rubbed them. Sure enough, he was right. It was indeed the Ghost Monkey. He was ducking his head and hiding within the horde of corpse kings. How could the monkey be in that place?

At that moment, the Ghost Monkey locked eyes with Lu Yin.

The truth was that the Ghost Monkey had been watching Lu Yin for a long time. He had not just been watching during this battle; even during the previous one, when Lu Yin had tried to break through Aeternus’s forces to reach the pa.s.sage to the Starfall Sea, the Ghost Monkey had been watching. He had seen everything at that time, as he had constantly been paying attention to Lu Yin.

Because he had been taken under Shaman G.o.d’s wing, the Ghost Monkey had been treated like Shaman G.o.d’s pet. However, some time ago, all Seven SkyG.o.ds aside from Whiteless G.o.d had had their avatars destroyed. Aeternus Nation had also been destroyed, and the Ghost Monkey had been in an awkward situation for a period of time. For a while, he had kept his head down and acted weak and submissive to the Aeternals. Even though the Ghost Monkey had wanted to find Lu Yin, the monkey had been too afraid of being discovered by Shaman G.o.d and suffering the SkyG.o.d’s wrath. The Ghost Monkey was treated as one of the Seven SkyG.o.ds’ pet, so once the Aeternals initiated their invasion of the Fifth Mainland, the Ghost Monkey had started to relax once again.

While hiding among countless scarlet eyes, the Ghost Monkey had watched as humanity’s forces had fought against the Aeternals as if he were watching a show. In particular, he had enjoyed watching Lu Yin fail. It felt amazing to see such a thing, and if the Ghost Monkey had not been terrified of instantly dying, he would have jumped forward and loudly taunted Little Lu.

Luckily, the Ghost Monkey had managed to hold himself back. There were just too many Semi-Progenitors surrounding Little Lu. If any one of those powerhouses moved against the Ghost Monkey, he would instantly die. It was better to watch the show play out in silence. Still, Little Lu’s expression was so sour, and it was so refreshing to see!

The Ghost Monkey had been enjoying himself watching another show, and as soon as Little Lu and the other humans failed again, he would be able to laugh for three days. Suddenly, the Ghost Monkey met Little Lu’s eyes.

The Ghost Monkey blinked. He was not wrong—he and Little Lu had indeed locked eyes.

Had Little Lu seen the Ghost Monkey?

"Ghost Monkey, it"s you!" Lu Yin"s voice reached the Ghost Monkey"s ears across the entire distance.

The Ghost Monkey reflexively denied it. "It"s not me!"

Lu Yin stared blankly at the Ghost Monkey. He had never once considered that his old companion who had gone missing for so long would appear on this battlefield, let alone be so close to the pa.s.sage to the Starfall Sea. This was humanity’s chance!

The Ghost Monkey saw Lu Yin"s mouth curl up into a smile, and at that moment, the monkey felt chills cover his entire body. He had followed Lu Yin for a long time, and the Ghost Monkey had watched Lu Yin unite the entire Outerverse, rising from an unknown individual to one famed throughout the known universe. The Ghost Monkey understood Lu Yin’s current expression far too well.

Whenever Lu Yin smiled like this, others would absolutely end up suffering.

The Ghost Monkey instinctively fled deeper into the corpse king horde.

"If you run right now, I’ll steal the entire Celestial Ice Phoenix clan and make them into my harem." Lu Yin"s vicious words entered the Ghost Monkey"s ears again. They sounded like a clap of thunder to the Ghost Monkey. As far as the monkey was concerned, not much was terribly important, but the Celestial Ice Phoenixes were untouchable. They were his reverse scale.

The Ghost Monkey instantly whirled around to glare at Lu Yin. “Little Lu, don’t push things!"

Lu Yin"s eyes grew large. "What did you just call me? Okay, alright. Apparently. you’ve grown a bit wild since I last saw you."

"You’re wild! Your whole family’s wild!" the Ghost Monkey roared angrily.

Lu Yin sneered. "I waged a war against the entire Astral Beast Domain just a bit ago. Do you know why that war suddenly stopped?"

The Ghost Monkey suddenly had no idea what was going on.

"It’s because I fell for the Celestial Ice Phoenix clan! I told Yao Di to give me the Celestial Ice Phoenixes, and I would stop the war in return, so Yao Di agreed. With that, the war was half over for the Great Eastern Alliance. Mmmm… Those Celestial Ice Phoenixes really are so beautiful…" Lu Yin reminisced.

The Ghost Monkey was beyond furious at this moment, and his rage overwhelmed his reason. He reacted like a rabbit whose tail had been stepped on. "Little Lu, I’ll fight you to the death!"

"Fight if you’re strong enough, but if I die, all the Celestial Ice Phoenixes will die with me, and they’ll be mine in death," Lu Yin continued arrogantly.

"The entire tribe of the Celestial Ice Phoenixes belong to me! Progenitor Wushang gave them to me to be my harem! No one can touch them, and I’ll fight anyone who does to the death!" The Ghost Monkey was beyond furious.

Lu Yin yelled back, "Fine. Toss something into the pa.s.sage to the Starfall Sea for me, and I’ll give you the Celestial Ice Phoenix clan back. That beautiful Feng Liu, that majestic Feng Jiu, and all the other Celestial Ice Phoenix will be yours."

"I won"t do it!" The Ghost Monkey was not stupid.

Lu Yin sneered. "Then you can’t say anything about me taking them. I heard that Xi Qi"s fish really likes Feng Liu. He’s said that he’s the only one who deserves her."

"Bulls.h.i.t! That’s just a fish!" The Ghost Monkey’s rage mounted even further. The Celestial Ice Phoenixes were what he held dearest in his heart, while the fish that rode atop Xi Qi"s head was the creature that the Ghost Monkey hated most in the entire universe. The thought of Feng Liu being given to that fish caused the Ghost Monkey to lose all control from his anger.

"That fish can help me develop my lockbreaking abilities."

"It"s just a fish! Just a fish! Fine, what do you have? Master Ghost Monkey will help you toss it over there."

Lu Yin was secretly ecstatic. Just as the Ghost Monkey understood Lu Yin, Lu Yin also knew the Ghost Monkey very well. The monkey was smart and knew how to protect himself, but in the end, he was still an astral beast, and thus, he was bound by his instincts. The Ghost Monkey did not care about the overall picture, and he was quite self-centered.

When Lu Yin heard the Ghost Monkey"s expected agreement, Lu Yin waved a hand to use the Yu Secret Art, whose range was Lu Yin’s vision.

While the Yu Secret Art was no longer of much help given the current level of Lu Yin’s battles, there were still situations where it was exceptionally useful, particularly when it came to grabbing or delivering things.

Mt. Microcosms disappeared from Jue Yi"s hand, and it instantly reappeared in front of the Ghost Monkey"s eyes. The Ghost Monkey then threw it into the pa.s.sage to the Starfall Sea as though getting rid of a piece of garbage.

The monkey was very intelligent, and he had immediately thrown Mt. Microcosms away. This way, even if he was confronted by the Aeternals later on, he could just say that he had no clue what the thing was and that he had thrown it away because he had been scared of the potential danger. As long as the Ghost Monkey acted without any hesitation, no one would realize that it had helped the humans, and he would keep his status as Shaman G.o.d’s pet.

Whiteless G.o.d was stopping Jue Yi, and she noticed Mt. Microcosms disappeared, but when she saw it again, Mt. Microcosms had already been launched towards the pa.s.sage to the Starfall Sea by the Ghost Monkey. It was even moving so quickly that it was closer to Corpse G.o.d than it had ever come before.

As soon as Whiteless G.o.d saw Mt. Microcosms new location, she moved to stop it. However, Jiu Yi also saw what had happened, and a wave of death energy swept over Whiteless G.o.d like a tsunami. Even the Seven SkyG.o.ds feared death energy.

"Are you still not going to do anything?" Forgotten Ruins G.o.d angrily demanded.

Marquis w.a.n.g looked over, and then she disappeared as she moved to chase after Mt. Microcosms.

Lu Yin kept his eyes on Marquis w.a.n.g. She was the only Semi-Progenitor who had not made a move in a while, but as soon as she took action, there were very few who were capable of stopping her.

Hen Xin, Lu Buzheng, and Ni Huang, who were the three most powerful Semi-Progenitors on the human side, were being stopped by Forgotten Ruins G.o.d, and all the other Semi-Progenitors would struggle to stop Marquis w.a.n.g.

Upon seeing Marquis w.a.n.g move out, Lu Yin was left with no choice but to take out his candle and light it. He simultaneously activated Truesight and watched a shocking number of rune lines fill the area and shoot out towards Marquis w.a.n.g.

This only managed to slightly delay Marquis w.a.n.g. If the other Semi-Progenitors were unable to stop her, then it was even more impossible for Lu Yin to do so. All he was trying to do was stall her for as long as possible, as every second gained was invaluable.

At the same time that Lu Yin launched his attack, Xia De and Bai Laogui also attacked Marquis w.a.n.g. At this critical moment, Xia De unexpectedly released a clone, and the clone surprised Marquis w.a.n.g and raced past her to chase after Mt. Microcosms.

Marquis w.a.n.g also released a clone at the same time as Xia De.

It was a rare occurrence to see the Xia family’s Nine Clones Secret Technique go up against itself, but Marquis w.a.n.g’s and Xia De’s clones continued to emerge and face off against each other in a truly spectacular battle.

However, Xia De was being pushed back in every single confrontation. He simply could not compare to Marquis w.a.n.g in any aspect, but luckily, Xia De’s goal had never been to defeat Marquis w.a.n.g; he just needed to stall her.

Xia De"s Nine Clones Secret Technique was very successful in accomplishing that goal.

Mt. Microcosms flew into the pa.s.sage to the Starfall Sea without meeting any hindrance, and then it began to grow larger at a shocking speed. Countless slitted-pupil, scarlet-eyed corpse kings tried to stop it, but the streams of ancestral qi from the Tri-Yang Technique that were wrapped around Mt. Microcosms grew agitated. The sourcebox array was activating.

One after another, ma.s.sive gears erupted from Mt. Microcosms, and they started to turn. It looked like a power plant had been planted in the universe.

Everyone stared as Mt. Microcosms grew larger and larger, reaching a truly ma.s.sive size. It covered the sky and smashed against the pa.s.sage to the Starfall Sea that Corpse G.o.d was still holding open.

At this moment, everyone"s hearts had climbed into their throats, including Lu Yin’s.

The more he had come to understand the strength of the Seven SkyG.o.ds, the less confident Lu Yin had become of this plan.

Each of the Seven SkyG.o.ds was an exceptional powerhouse from ancient times, so would Mt. Microcosms and Progenitor Hui’s sourcebox array really be able to oust Corpse G.o.d from his position? Lu Yin could not say, but this was the only plan they had, and they had no choice but to at least try. Despite any uncertainty, they needed to press forward.

At this moment, the Aeternals were unable to resist Mt. Microcosms’ force, but by the same token, Lu Yin and the others were unable to strengthen Mt. Microcosms" push.

At this destined moment, everyone stared at Mt. Microcosms as it slammed into Corpse G.o.d.

There was a bang, and as the deafening sound of an explosion reached Lu Yin. He was dazed for a bit, and blood dripped out of his ears. He was not alone, as everyone else showed the exact same symptoms, including the Semi-Progenitors.

The explosion did not end there, as it was a long and drawn out sound that left everyone shocked. The hole between the Starfall Sea and the black hole barrier that protected the rest of the Fifth Mainland seemed to be torn apart by Mt. Microcosms. Many of the members of the Mavis family lost consciousness when the soundwaves reached them.

Lu Yin covered his ears as he stared at the pa.s.sage to the Starfall Sea.

The towering figure of Corpse G.o.d was gone. Only Mt. Microcosms could be seen, still growing taller and larger as it quickly blocked off the entire pa.s.sage to the Starfall Sea. The continued growth actually expanded the size of the pa.s.sageway.

Suddenly, a hand wedged itself between Mt. Microcosms and the black hole barrier, trying to tear the barrier apart. This was Corpse G.o.d’s hand.

The appearance of the hand startled Lu Yin, and he just stared at it.

A second pa.s.sed, then two, and then three. Lu Yin was starting to pant. Would Corpse G.o.d tear the barrier protecting them apart? The answer was yes, Corpse G.o.d was indeed able to tear apart the barrier, as he would not have been able to expand the pa.s.sage to the Starfall Sea otherwise. However, every single bit that Corpse G.o.d shifted the barrier was instantly filled as Mt. Microcosms grew even larger. It constantly filled the entire pa.s.sage, with the sole exception of where the hand was wedged.

In the ancient era of the Heavens Sect, the Six Mainlands had been ruled by the Heavens Sect, and Mt. Microcosms had been the Sky Pillar that had held up the Heavens Sect.

Only Lu Buzheng and the others from that ancient time had any idea just how big Mt. Microcosms might eventually become.

When they saw that Mt. Microcosms had successfully blocked off the pa.s.sage to the Starfall Sea, all the humans let out sighs of relief. When it came to comparing sizes, there was no need to mention Corpse G.o.d—even the ancient Dao Monarch who had created the race of colossal giants was dwarfed by Mt. Microcosms.

All that anyone needed to worry about at this moment was whether Corpse G.o.d could shove the plug out of the pa.s.sage from the other side of the barrier. That was dependent on whether the sourcebox array on Mt. Microcosms could hold back Corpse G.o.d.

The arrogance that the ancient powerhouses felt towards the current era had already changed a great deal, and they all hoped that the Progenitor Hui they had heard about would prove to be astoundingly talented. The Progenitor did not need to be comparable to a Dao Monarch, as it would be enough if Progenitor Hui was a powerhouse on the same level as the founder of the w.a.n.g family.

Boom!

There was another deafening explosion. It sounded like Corpse G.o.d was attacking Mt. Microcosms, trying to remove it from the pa.s.sage.

All across Mt. Microcosms, the huge gears started to spin quicker. Every time the mountain shifted even a slight bit, it would instantly push itself back into its former position with the power of a spinning gear.

Lu Yin had no idea just how powerful the a.s.sault on Mt. Microcosms from the forces in the Starfall Sea had to be, but he did know that it was a level of power that was beyond his current comprehension.
