Chapter 2916: Threat  

Yu Huo looked down on people who used black energy converters, and while Master Shan was using a black energy converter, he fully knew that there was a huge gap between himself and his opponent. For this reason, Master Shan immediately used his sequence particles.

Yu Huo had encountered many peak powerhouses over the years, but this was the first time he had ever seen an energy converter user also use sequence particles.

The law of the universe that Master Shan's sequence particles corresponded to was the Law of Depiction. Anything in existence, whether it be a pen, sand, water, or even blood, air, and sound, could be tracked through the universe through its description.

Something appeared before Yu Huo's eyes. It was the curve of a mountain range that blocked his line of sight. This was a law of the universe, and it would eventually fade away, but while it still existed, it would block his line of sight.

Master Shan used his sequence particles to stall Yu Huo and the man who had fallen under the Chiliagonist’s control. With the time that Master Shan bought, Monarch Xing, Highsage Grandmaster, and Elder Gong were all able to arrive.

As a True God Guard Captain, Yu Huo was strong enough to easily defeat anyone who used a black energy converter, and Monarch Xing possessed a very ordinary level of strength for a peak powerhouse. Without the Three Monarchs Formation, her strength was at best comparable to that of the Progenitor of Bloodlines at his peak, which was much worse than any of the True God Guard Captains. There was a terrible gap between them.

Fortunately, all of the Heavens Sect’s protectors could use sequence particles in some capacity, but even so, they were at a distinct disadvantage against one of the True God Guard Captains.

The fish’s tail tore through the black energy, and the Chiliagonist instantly used his consciousness to attack everyone’s minds.

Elder Gong instantly felt a terrifying pressure surround him, and he lost consciousness. Highsage Grandmaster brought out a sourcebox and set up an array. However, it could not protect him from the attack of consciousness.

Helpless before the unusual attack, everyone was forced to use their sequence particles to protect themselves.

Strange laws of the universe all appeared. These laws surpassed the strength of most Progenitors, and regardless of how powerful Yu Huo and the Chiliagonist might be, they could not ignore the sequence particles.

They were struggling in the face of so many bizarre laws of the universe.

"Use divine energy!" Yu Huo warned, even as his own divine energy boiled from his body and shot high into the sky, forcing the sequence particles back and causing many of them to vanish entirely.

The Chiliagonist raised a hand, and his divine energy rose up like a sun.

The entire Heavens Sect was illuminated by the divine energy’s dim light.

At the critical moment, golden light appeared and clashed with the divine energy’s red light. Yu Huo and the Chiliagonist were both shocked. Was someone from the Lu family in the Heavens Sect?

It was impossible for the Heavens Sect to be devoid of a guardian who was powerful enough to defend it from almost any attacker, and its current guardian was Lu Qi.

Lu Qi had first followed the third battalion, but then he had secretly returned to the Heavens Sect after the Aeternals’ ambush was thwarted. If one ignored the intensity of the battles being fought, Lu Qi had been the busiest of the various people supporting the crusade.

With the appearance of divine energy, Lu Qi had been forced to take action. Without him, Master Shan and the others would not be able to endure.

…

In the Endless Frontier’s Giant’s Purgatory, Cheng Kong had been cut by eighty-one swords, which meant that he had certainly been injured. However, he had quickly hidden himself again, which forced both Lu Yin and Mu Ke to leave the battle to hunt for the assassin. They did not want to let go of an opportunity to kill Cheng Kong, while Cheng Kong was absolutely confident that they would never find him. As long as both Lu Yin and Mu Ke were removed from the battle, the Aeternals would be able to gain an advantage over the second battalion and secure a victory.

All of the Aeternals present were also confident that no one could find Cheng Kong.

The people of the Sixverse Association refused to abandon any opportunity to potentially kill Cheng Kong. As long as Cheng Kong died, it would be worth it even if they lost Giant’s Purgatory. The psychological pressure that Cheng Kong put on the Sixverse Association was simply too great.

For Lu Yin, this was also not a problem, as he was confident that he could find Cheng Kong.

He took out his Enhanced bubble and held it in his hand. He sensed it pulling him slightly in one direction, behind him and slightly to the right. Lu Yin calmly followed the pull.

As he moved, the pull grew stronger and stronger.

Cheng Kong was too confident. He did not believe that anyone could find him, and he had never even considered the possibility that there could be an innate gift like Lu Yin’s that could upgrade almost any material tool in existence.

Lu Yin had once suspected that Cheng Kong might not even be human, and while following that line of thought, he had Enhanced the bubbles that Cheng Kong had dropped, thinking that, by enhancing the bubble, it might be possible to produce another lifeform that was the same as Cheng Kong.

No one could find Cheng Kong, and not even the bubble that had fallen from Cheng Kong's body could find him. After all, it was a dead object. However, Cheng Kong could find himself.

Lu Yin changed directions a few times, but he always moved towards the same destination. All along, the pulling force grew stronger and stronger, like two magnets moving closer to each other.

Lu Yin looked over at Mu Ke. "Senior Brother, do you remember what you told me when you gave me the second saber with eighty-one slashes?"

Mu Ke’s expression did not change at all. "I forgot."

Lu Yin replied, "You told me that those eighty-one slashes were capable of killing Cheng Kong and that he might already be dead."

Mu Ke lifted his saber and looked down at it. "Perhaps, but there’s also a possibility that he hasn’t died. I can’t tell, and no one really understands Cheng Kong."

"In that case, please give me another miniature saber, just as protection in case something unexpected happens. We can stop looking around here, as I can’t find anything," Lu Yin said.

Mu Ke looked up at Lu Yin. "Alright."

He then suddenly attacked Lu Yin with the saber.

When Lu Yin had been given the second miniature saber formed from eighty-one attacks, just like the first time, he had to endure all of the attacks. This time was no different, as if Lu Yin wanted to receive those eighty-one slashes, he would need to endure them again.

As soon as Mu Ke’s saber flew out, Lu Yin’s eyes flared, and he dodged with Inverse Step.

Just behind Lu Yin, the hidden form of Cheng Kong stared on in a daze as Mu Ke released eighty-one slashes. Mu Ke was unable to locate Cheng Kong, and he was merely attacking in his direction, but why was the attack so accurate?

There was clear intent behind this attack. A casual swing of the blade could not force Cheng Kong out, but this was Mu Ke’s eighty-one slashes, and this attack had already wounded Cheng Kong on two different occasions.

Cheng Kong could not stay hidden, and what appeared to be his Bubble Fantasy emerged from a twist in the void, evading Mu Ke's slash.

However, Lightstream shuttled around the bubble, reversing time by one second.

Cheng Kong was stunned. "No-"

The bubble was returned to where it had just been, and it was struck by Mu Ke’s third slash. The bubble trembled, and Lu Yin carefully watched everything take place. Sure enough, while everyone claimed to have never seen Cheng Kong, the truth was that they had all seen Cheng Kong. Bubble Fantasy was Cheng Kong, not a technique. He was not a human, and Bubble Fantasy was nothing more than a cover to hide the fact that Cheng Kong was nothing but a bubble.

After eighty-one slashes, the bubble was covered with cracks. It looked so fragile, and yet it had withstood a full eighty-one slashes.

The appearance of the bubble had given Mu Ke a target, and he prepared to use Verseless.

The bubble shot away, and a voice roared, "Give me divine energy!"

At that moment, Zhong Pan and the other True God Guard Captain moved as one. Their divine energy arced through space towards the bubble. All of the captains were startled, as they had never seen Cheng Kong's true form; they were also discovering that he was actually just a bubble.

The megaverse was vast and filled with all kinds of different wonders.

Cheng Kong was a bubble, while Ye Bo was a consciousness formed from a dying human’s desire for revenge. These existences both followed the laws of the universe, but as long as there were laws, unpredictable consequences could always happen.

The divine energy shot through space, aiming straight for Cheng Kong, only to be stopped halfway by the Cyclops King.

The inhabitants of Giant’s Purgatory had a good understanding of both Aeternus and the Sixverse Association. The Aeternals’ divine energy was a miraculous energy that could allow weaker beings to defend against sequence powerhouses and fight against them. It was important to block such energy for as long as possible.

The Mountain King kicked the Cyclops King, and the two enormous beings started a fierce battle in outer space that shook the entire universe.

However, the Cyclops King had blocked the divine energy, and Cheng Kong was unable to reach it.

Mu Ke was right behind Cheng Kong, and the man’s saber rose to slash out again. The blade qi terrified Cheng Kong.

The truth was that Cheng Kong did not possess very strong attacking power or combat power. He was an assassin who targeted his victims with illusions and then struck when they fell under his control. This was his only way to kill peak powerhouses, and if Cheng Kong could not control an opponent, he would struggle to fight against them head-on.

Different beings possessed different habits. While Cheng Kong had endured the eighty-one slashes on more than one occasion, he had never risked exposing himself to an enemy’s attacks. This was part of the reason why so many peak powerhouses from the Sixverse Association had tried to track Cheng Kong down. However, because they did not understand what sort of creature he was, that meant that, even if they could find him, they would not be able to kill him.

Even so, Cheng Kong had never risked fighting against those who hunted him.

After being exposed to Mu Ke's blade, Cheng Kong was so terrified that his mind was about to explode. This fear was born from his natural instincts. He was not necessarily afraid of Mu Ke, but more of his own instincts.

Cheng Kong’s instincts were telling him that he could be killed by Mu Ke.

Mu Ke's attacks never let up. While Cheng Kong repeatedly succeeded in vanishing from sight, Lu Yin was always able to guide Mu Ke and reveal Cheng Kong’s location once more.

Cheng Kong realized what was happening and sent a message to Lu Yin, "Don't think that I don't know who you are! No matter what Whiteless God’s plans might be, I cannot be sacrificed! If you try to kill me for real, I will expose you!"

Lu Yin frowned. "I have no idea what you’re talking about.

"Senior Brother, to the southwest."

Mu Ke slashed out again, causing the bubble to reappear to dodge the attack before vanishing once more.

"You are actually one of Whiteless God's people! Whiteless God was the one who asked me to let you escape from the Sixth Mainland. Do you really think that you could have escaped with that turtle otherwise?"

"You think too much." Lu Yin's expression remained unchanged, but he truly did not understand. Why would Whiteless God help him? It was very possible that the Skygod had not been helping Lu Yin, but rather laying out some sort of conspiracy, similar to what Shaman God had tried.

Even so, Lu Yin had no idea who Whiteless God might be.

He had initially thought that he could expose Whiteless God, only to discover that none of the people close to him had any abnormalities.

"Senior Brother, to the southeast."

Mu Ke’s blade flickered again.

Even if Cheng Kong was able to dodge Mu Ke’s attacks that were guided by Lu Yin, he was still injured by them, and more and more cracks appeared on the bubble.

"Lu Yin, don't push me! I know for a fact that you are a spy that Whiteless God's been grooming! I kept an eye on you during your fight with Zhong Pan, and I saw when you absorbed the divine energy from his arm!" Cheng Kong was starting to sound panicked.

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. "Right, if all of this is true, then why did you ambush me in the Big Stone Universe?"

"I was just trying to see what sort of plan Whiteless God made for you. Let me go, or else I’ll expose you!" Cheng Kong threatened. He was certain that Lu Yin was one of Whiteless God's spies. Why else would Whiteless God protect the young man? How else could Lu Yin absorb divine energy?

Lu Yin remained silent.

Mu Ke stopped moving, as without Lu Yin's guidance, he could not find Cheng Kong.

Lu Yin's silence gave Cheng Kong a wave of relief. He did not dare to say another word, and he quickly fled. He could not handle the fear and danger that came from being directly in front of an enemy's blade.

Suddenly, Mu Ke’s saber shifted, and he turned and attacked again. A tremendous number of sequence particles shot out, parting the void and enveloping an entire region of the universe. The saber rose and then slashed down.
