Chapter 2730 – The Gates Of Death

Lu Yin stared at Sage Yuan’s cold expression as he finished speaking, and then raised a hand to rub his head. "Sometimes I really can’t understand where losers like you get their sense of superiority. Who do you think you can order around?"

Sage Yuan's expression fell.

Luo Shan turned to stare at Lu Yin, who had completely changed.

Bai w.a.n.gyuan and the others were also staring at Lu Yin, but not out of surprise. This was how Lu Xiaoxuan had always behaved when facing them. He had always been indifferent to their power and status, or even condescending. They knew that this was the real Lu Xiaoxuan, and he was completely different from the person who had just said that he wanted to submit to the Three Monarchs Universe.

They had already known that Lu Xiaoxuan was putting on an act, but the question remained, what was his game?

Lu Yin smiled. "Sage Yuan, you are such an obedient old dog. You go ahead and bark whenever that old beast Sovereign Shao Yin tells you to. Why don't you call him out so that we can see if he can bark at me himself?"

As Lu Yin spoke, his expression grew cold. "I promise that I’ll knock out that b.a.s.t.a.r.d’s teeth."

Sage Yuan sneered. "You little s.h.i.+t, it’s only now that you can act so stubborn. I promise that I’ll kill all of your family and friends and have you watch as they die. Only after that will I toss you to Aeternus and announce that you’ve betrayed humanity. Your Lu family will be reviled for thousands of years after it becomes known that you and the Lu family betrayed mankind and are the greatest traitors of all."

"Old dog, I promise that I’ll kill you myself." Lu Yin carefully enunciated each word, his voice soft and calm. However, the calmer Lu Yin became, the more uneasy Sage Yuan felt. He glanced over at Bai w.a.n.gyuan and others. "What are you waiting for? Why don't you kill him already? Throw him to the Aeternals!"

Luo Shan stepped forward. "Child of the Lu family, you don't have the ability to fight against all of us. Revealing your anger and tossing out insults does nothing but expose your own weakness. I will offer you the chance to commit suicide as an apology to Sovereign Shao Yin, and your family and friends will be left behind unharmed. I promise you that I will not move against the Heavens Sect and will allow them to submit to me."

Sage Yuan shouted angrily, "Luo Shan, you-!"

Luo Shan looked over at Sage Yuan. "I may need to explain myself to Sovereign Shao Yin, but there’s no need to do the same to you."

Sage Yuan gave Luo Shan a cold glare, but Luo Shan did not care about the Sage. No matter what, Luo Shan was the ruler of the Three Monarchs Universe. Even if he could be threatened by Sovereign Shao Yin, Sage Yuan did not hold the same status or strength.

The Monarch was still excited about Lu Yin's previous proposal. If the man could subdue the Origin Universe, then the Three Monarchs Universe’s strength and status would spike. If Monarch Luo could seize this opportunity, he did not care at all if it meant offending the four ruling powers or Sage Yuan.

Sovereign Shao Yin required the Lu family to be dealt with, but he did not care about the rest of the Origin Universe at all. This had already become very clear to Luo Shan.

Lu Yin stood atop the jiao, and he rubbed his head again.

Luo Shan said, "Child of the Lu family, this is your only chance. With the number of experts arrayed against you, you cannot stop this. Instead of being completely wiped out, it is better to sacrifice one to save the lives of everyone else. This is even what you just suggested a moment ago."

Sage Yuan winked at Bai w.a.n.gyuan and the others, hoping that they would attack. Sage Yuan was determined to exterminate Lu Yin as well as everyone connected to him.

However, he could not attack himself, as he would not have any justification to offer to the Great Sovereign for such actions.

Bai w.a.n.gyuan and the others glanced at each other. It was all too clear what they were supposed to do: eliminate Lu Xiaoxuan's family and friends. Of course, the young man would see the moment that they took action, which could easily force him to agree to Luo Shan’s proposal. Not only would that render their actions meaningless, but they would also end up at odds with Luo Shan and on bad terms with the Three Monarchs Universe.

Bai w.a.n.gyuan looked at Lu Yin. "Lu Xiaoxuan, kill yourself. It is the only thing that you can do for your people."

Lu Yin remained the greatest threat to the four ruling powers. If he died, the rest of the Heavens Sect was little better than trash.

Sage Yuan became upset. He wanted the four ruling powers to attack, not reinforce Luo Shan’s threats.

Xia Shenji spoke in a cold voice. "I told you before that you would not meet a good end if you insisted on being an enemy of the four ruling powers. You could have rebuilt the Lu family, but instead, this is your fate. You should kill yourself."

Bai Sheng felt quite sad. Lu Yin was a remarkable individual who had lived a life of legends. He was someone who countless people in the Perennial World admired, and after driving the Aeternals out of the Perennial World, that admiration had grown into wors.h.i.+p. However, that miraculous life was coming to an end.

Lu Yin could still escape on his own, but if he did so, the Fifth Mainland and the Heavens Sect would be completely destroyed. It was quite sad.

Progenitor Long also felt a flicker of pity, but this was the only outcome for being so arrogant.

Specter Progenitor frowned. It did not matter if Lu Yin died, but how was the Progenitor supposed to receive the G.o.d of Death’s inheritance like this? Everything this youth possessed was enough to drive countless people mad with jealousy.

"Child of the Lu family, why not just commit suicide? Do you really want your people to die with you?" Luo Shan said solemnly.

Xia Shenji urged, "Lu Xiaoxuan, commit suicide."

"Lu Xiaoxuan, commit suicide."

"Lu Xiaoxuan, commit suicide."

"Lu Xiaoxuan, commit suicide."

…

These words rang again and again, and it was as if the gates of death were opening, these words trying to push him through.

He lifted his head and looked at the people before him. Luo Shan appeared both solemn and a bit upset, Bai w.a.n.gyuan looked completely indifferent, Xia Shenji was clearly excited, Bai Sheng was mournful, Progenitor Long was regretful, and Sage Yuan was completely arrogant. All of these things entered Lu Yin’s sight, and his mind raced. "Just you bunch of losers want to convince me to kill myself?"

Luo Shan's eyes instantly flared. "You can’t even recognize what is good or bad. If you don't want to die, I will put you down myself."

Lu Yin exhaled. In the end, it really was going to devolve into an all-out battle.

However, just as Lu Yin was about to summon Cloudflow and Master Shan, a voice entered his ears. "Don't forget, you only have this chance for these 100,000 years."

As the voice disappeared, a shout rose up from the other side of the spatial pa.s.sage, echoing from the Three Monarchs Universe. "All forces to the rainbow wall! Blackless G.o.d and Undying G.o.d have both appeared!"

Luo Shan and everyone else looked back in shock. Blackless G.o.d? Undying G.o.d? Both of them were SkyG.o.ds, and with Forgotten Ruins G.o.ds already present, nearly half of the Seven SkyG.o.ds were in the Three Monarchs Universe.

Luo Shan raced for the pa.s.sage without any hesitation.

Sovereign Shao Yin’s voice rang out, "The four ruling powers will send Progenitors to support the defenses."

Bai w.a.n.gyuan and others hesitated, but after Luo Shan entered the Three Monarchs Universe, he turned to look back, his eyes hard. "All of you will come help, or do you intend to defy the Sixverse a.s.sociation?"

Bai w.a.n.gyuan gritted his teeth and looked over at Lu Yin. The Progenitor was not willing to cooperate.

Lu Yin sneered. "What? You expect me to go?"

There was no need to say anything, as everyone understood that it was impossible for Lu Yin to support the Three Monarchs Universe. They were his enemies and had just been trying to force him to kill himself.

Additionally, Lu Yin had just heard Blackless G.o.d’s voice speak in his ear, which meant that this attack was actually the Aeternals helping Lu Yin share the pressure that he was facing. Lu Yin had no idea why Blackless G.o.d was doing this. If it had been Shaman G.o.d instead, it might have been an indication that the SkyG.o.d had not abandoned his scheme yet, but Blackless G.o.d had no reason to help Lu Yin.

Could this really just be because of the promise that Blackless G.o.d had offered to Lu Yin?

That seemed just too unreasonable. Lu Yin had done too much harm to Aeternus, so why would Blackless G.o.d help Lu Yin and divert a fight to the death against the four ruling powers and the Three Monarchs Universe? Such a battle would have weakened humanity as a whole. This was simply too strange.

Lu Yin suddenly thought again that there might be human spies hidden within Aeternus. After all, one such person seemed to have been the reason why Cheng Feng had been captured. Could Blackless G.o.d be that spy?

That also did not seem to be quite right. If Blackless G.o.d was a spy, then Mister Mu would not have killed the SkyG.o.d’s avatar without any hesitation.

Still, no matter what Lu Yin considered, it was impossible for him to go to the Three Monarchs Universe and help defend their universe. At this moment, his greatest concern was Sovereign Shao Yin. This was not because Lu Yin feared being attacked by the Sovereign, but because Sovereign Shao Yin had also been present at the Lost Clan’s Shangsan Festival. When Lu Yin had attracted Evernight, every eye had been trained on him, and Sovereign Shao Yin had to have seen through the Mask of Death.

The only reason that Lu Yin could think of why the Sovereign had not attacked him was that he did not know what Lu Yin looked like. If he was ever seen by Sovereign Shao Yin, Lu Yin would be exposed, and the opportunity created by the Aeternals’ attack would be lost.

Bai w.a.n.gyuan, Xia Shenji, and the other Progenitors all went to the Three Monarchs Universe. They needed to help out, as failing to do so would offend Sovereign Shao Yin. Luo Shan could remain to take over the Heavens Sect, but the four ruling powers would suffer if they did not aid in the defense.

After the four ruling powers, the person who was the most unwilling to leave was Sage Yuan.

He glared at Lu Yin. "You little beast, you won't live much longer! With so many peak powerhouses entering the battle, this matter will soon come to an end."

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. "You’re lucky that this war was put off, or else I would have already killed you, old dog."

Sage Yuan's eyes flared, blazing with killing intent, but he could not waste any more time before returning to the Three Monarchs Universe.

Lu Yin stared at the spatial pa.s.sage. It was impossible to reseal it. Regardless of whether the four ruling powers would stop his efforts to do so, Lu Yin had deliberately allowed the pa.s.sage to be opened. If he had not done so, the Origin Universe would have been annexed into the Endless Frontier.

Wei Rong had provided tremendous help in this matter, and Lu Yin just hoped that Wei Rong would not disappoint him.

…

In the Voidforce Universe’s Red Zone, a pair of eyes opened deep underground. They belonged to a bald man who was a powerful Void Morphora.

The Red Zone had always had a Void Morphora protecting it from deep underground. The bald man was the replacement that Xu Wuji had found after the previous guardian had been killed by Chen Le’s arrow. These guardians were not concerned about anything that happened within the Red Zone, as their sole task was to thwart enemies from outside.

No one in the Red Zone even knew of the bald man’s existence. Even Lu Yin had only discovered the presence of the guardians on his own, as the matter had never once been mentioned by Xu Wuji.

The bald man looked up and saw that Xu Wuji had left.

The Void Morphora rose to his feet and took a step, instantly appearing on the surface. He immediately started making his way in a particular direction, aiming for the location where Xuan Qi was supposed to be in seclusion.

After obtaining Evernight, Xuan Qi had announced to the world that he was going into seclusion, which was both expected and reasonable. This had also led to fewer guests visiting the Red Zone, as before the announcement, the Red Zone had been constantly inundated with guests who sought to meet with Xuan Qi.

The bald man avoided all eyes as he approached the location of Xuan Qi’s seclusion. Boss Guan, Skinner, and the other team captains were present, but none of them could detect the bald man’s presence.

However, just as the Void Morphora was about to enter Xuan Qi’s location, a person appeared directly behind the man, making him freeze in place.

"Why?" a voice asked. None other than Xu Wuji himself had appeared. At this moment, he looked very disappointed, which contrasted sharply with his typical expression.

The bald man clenched a fist. "I was tasked by others to deal with Xuan Qi without being noticed. In return, our agreement was Evernight"

Xu Wuji sneered. "The agreement?"

The bald man solemnly replied, "If not for our agreement, I would not be the one approaching him. While Xuan Qi may not be able to defeat me, he won’t have any difficulty escaping from me."

Xu Wuji considered this and realized the Void Morphora was quite right. "Who?"

The bald man remained silent.

"If you won't tell me, then just forget it. I don't really want to know, but you have betrayed my trust, so get lost." After speaking, Xu Wuji set a hand on the bald man’s back and threw him out of the Red Zone. The Void Morphora was sent flying, coughing up blood. As he flew, his voidforce energy was also depleted, and he was reduced to the Void Brillium level.

"This is your punishment."

While Xu Wuji was usually very polite, if a bit cynical, all who knew him understood that the man was anything but vague and indirect in his actions. Anyone who could survive a stint on the Endless Frontier was difficult to deal with, much less to mention a peak powerhouse.

Xu Wuji sighed. "Now I need to find another guardian. What a pain…"

With that, he left the Red Zone.
