Chapter 2450: Drifting

Chapter 2397: Drifting

"That's right! Is that really the Python Ancestor's tail?" Progenitor Liu was horrified.

Lu Yin and Big Sis stared blankly at the hole in the ground. From where they were standing, they could see into the Lower Realm. There, they saw a gigantic python, and there was no end in sight to its body. It was the Python Ancestor. The Python Ancestor—was awake.

"The Python Ancestor attacked Undying God?" Lu Yin never imagined such a thing would happen. The Python Ancestor had been in a deep sleep, but it had suddenly just attacked.

Lu Yin looked back up at the Dominion Realm. He must have just heard the cry of the legendary eagle that supposedly lived in the Dominion Realm.

In the Perennial World, there was an eagle perched high above in the Dominion Realm, while the Python Ancestor wrapped around the Mother Tree in the Lower Realm. They were both legends of the Perennial World.

According to even more ancient legends, the Origin Progenitor had always been portrayed with an eagle on his shoulder and a large python around his waist. The Origin Progenitor himself had been the master of the two beasts.

Lu Yin looked back down and saw the Python Ancestor moving in the Lower Realm. He still had no idea how to deal with Undying God. Lu Yin was not sure what to do at all. "Big Sis, didn't you say that no one can hurt Undying God? The Python Ancestor just smashed him with its tail."

"Is it human?" Big Sis snapped back.

Lu Yin was speechless. It was true, Big Sis had said that no human could harm Undying God, and the Python Ancestor was not human.

"I just got to see the big guy show his power again. Wu Xing is in trouble now. It’d be best if the Python Ancestor beats him to death." As Big Sis spoke, her eyes lit up. "Come on, Little Seven, let’s go down and take a look."

Lu Yin grew a bit excited. "Alright."

Progenitor Liu suddenly appeared nearby, and he was staring straight at Big Sis. "How did you know that no human can hurt this Skygod? Who are you?"

The jiao landed right behind Lu Yin, and it brandished its fangs and claws at Progenitor Liu.

Lu Yin did not want any misunderstanding with Progenitor Liu. "She’s one of the people from the Heavens Sect era who was frozen and recently awakened. She’s seen Wu Xing before, and she even took his test back then and visited the Wu Stele. Right, it’s called the Sword Monument now."

"How do you know I took his test?" Big Sis gave Lu Yin an odd look.

Lu Yin had wanted to deceive Progenitor Liu, but had not expected Big Sis to expose his lie immediately.

Progenitor Liu’s sword rose up and pointed straight at Lu Yin. "Lu Xiaoxuan, I don't have time to waste talking to you. Explain who she is clearly. While my Liu family may have been close to the Lu family, your growth has been too ridiculously fast, and it’s not impossible that the four ruling powers’ suspicions are correct—you might really be colluding with the Aeternals."

Lu Yin frowned. "Senior, do you really believe that I am working with the Aeternals?"

"I don't want to believe it."

"If I were cooperating with the Aeternals, Undying God would not have tried to kill me, I would never have tried to expose Liu Song's true colors, and my sister would never have warned you that Undying God cannot be hurt."

Progenitor Liu quietly said, "When my Fifth Mainland fought the war against the Sixth Mainland, Progenitor Chen started the war, but the entire thing was orchestrated by Aeternus. We humans cannot afford to underestimate the intelligence of the Aeternals. You have already impersonated both Long Qi and Yu Hao to create all kinds of trouble for the four ruling powers. I won’t trust any words based on deduction.”

Lu Yin understood the man’s reasoning. This was also a big reason why both the Liu and Nong families had been unwilling to agree to Wang Wen's proposal; they had their own doubts. Even if Lu Yin had once been Lu Xiaoxuan, and even if he was willing to fight to the death against the Aeternals, it would never be enough to completely alleviate the families’ doubts. Humanity had suffered too greatly from the deceptions of the Aeternals.

In fact, if Lu Yin were anyone other than himself, he would also question Lu Yin’s loyalties.

How could anyone who had lost their memories and family background manage to rise up to dominate the entire Fifth Mainland and even stand against the four ruling powers? Such a story was too unreasonable.

There had been plenty of invincible powerhouses who had risen to power throughout human history, but all of their paths could be tracked and were recorded. Too much of Lu Yin’s progress could not be explained.

There were six sides to Lu Yin’s die that was his innate gift, and each of the die’s abilities were incredibly useful. Many people with unique innate gifts had appeared throughout human history, but Lu Yin could confidently say that his innate gift was one of a kind and incomprehensible, as not even Progenitors could explain its abilities.

Furthermore, if Lu Yin really dug into his past, then he would not have a clear conscience, as he had interacted with Shaman God. Only with the Aeternals’ assistance had Lu Yin been able to escape from the Perennial World the first time. He had indeed been protected by one of Aeternus’s conspiracies

Boom!

A vibration rang throughout the entire Perennial World. Lu Yin and the other two looked down into the Lower Realm. The Python Ancestor's body was still moving, and occasionally, it slammed into the Mother Tree. At the same time, the sky of the Lower Realm changed. It became yellow, rotten, dead, and lifeless. It was Undying God’s Progenitor’s world, and it had appeared because he was fighting against the Python Ancestor.

Countless creatures that lived in the Lower Realm were terrified by the clash, and they did not dare to move, even if doing so caused them to be splattered into smears of blood by the Python Ancestor.

And at this moment, unusually intense battles raged in both the Dominion Realm and across the entire rear battlefield.

All five of the array bases were inundated by endless waves of corpse kings that rose up from below as the monsters tried to climb upwards. Sourcebox arrays immediately activated, and Lockbreakers appeared one after another to help protect the five array bases.

Nearly all of Aeternus’s Twelve Marquises had been mobilized for this attack.

On the second array base, Xia Yan stared blankly at a scepter in his hand. He heard a cold voice ask, "Do you qualify to hold the king's scepter?"

The scepter transformed into a beam of light that pierced Xia Yan's body. The Semi-Progenitor’s face grew pale, and he spit out blood. His inner world had been badly shaken.

Long Laogui was startled, but just as he was about to go help, an odd face appeared right in front of him. He gritted his teeth. "Marquis Xiang."

Elsewhere, a teacup appeared above the first array base. It was large enough to fill the entire sky, and everything that appeared within the teacup, whether it be human, corpse king, or other, all became tea.

A strange laugh rang out at the third array base. It echoed out, and the sound caused countless people to howl. Somehow, the laughter manifested into reality, creating countless strange human faces that appeared in the sky above the third array base. Each face belonged to a dead person, and they all rushed down towards the third array base.

Marquis Lan appeared at the fifth array base, and at the same time, so did Marquis Midday. "You’re here too? Don’t you need more time to recover?"

Marquis Lan coldly answered, "Undying God risked death to enter the Perennial World, and no one knows the outcome. How could I not appear?"

"Two of the Twelve Marquises are here? Are you looking down on my fifth array base?" Kuang Yan shouted as he charged out and glared at Marquis Lan and Marquis Midday.

Marquis Midday gave Kuang Yan a cold glance and then said, "It's time to destroy these five array bases."

With that, the marquis’s figure disappeared as he went to fight with Kuang Yan.

On the fourth array base, which was the strongest on the entire rear battlefield, not only were the defenders fighting off three of the Twelve Marquises, but the leader of the Twelve Marquises had also appeared: Marquis Wu.

Marquis Wu looked no different from an ordinary human, but as soon as he fought, any who faced him would feel the pressure.

Yao Di’s body crashed into the array base.

Marquis Wu stood high in the sky and stared down at the fourth array base. "Too weak."

He then stepped forward, but as he did so, snow suddenly fell on his head.

"Snow drifts through the world: A Thousand Calamities." Arch-Elder Zen had taken action, and he had already summoned Xue Wuqing with the Tri-Yang Ancestral Qi Technique.

Marquis Wu had managed to easily defeat Yao Di, proving his rather terrifying might.

Endless numbers of corpse kings surged upwards. The tide spread out as far as the eye could see. Corpse kings completely covered the slopes of the five array bases.

As Hen Xin fought against another of the Twelve Marquis, the man pulled something from his cosmic ring and threw it down to the New World. It was a fragment of the Absolute Beast Cage, the all-consuming metal that had once brought disaster upon the Fourth Mainland. Lu Yin had greatly Enhanced some metal fragments, and he had told the fourth array base’s Semi-Progenitors that if the Aeternals ever exerted too much pressure, they should throw the metal down to the New World. It might not show much use right away, but as the metal grew and developed, it could potentially become terrifying, if it was able to consume flesh and blood to grow.

Humanity was completely unable to invade the New World, so there was no reason for them not to toss something so dangerous down and leave it for the Aeternals to deal with.

As Hen Xin threw the metal downwards, Yao Di suppressed his injuries to do the same. One piece after another of the metal was thrown down to the New World. No one knew what would come of it in the future.

The attack had been launched so abruptly that even Bai Wangyuan and the other Progenitors could not understand why such a large-scale assault was being waged on the entire Perennial World.

From the time the rear battlefield had first come into existence, very few attacks had been launched by a combination of the Seven Skygods and the Twelve Marquises.

However, the truth was that, while this attack was powerful enough to let Undying God force his way into the Perennial World, there was also danger involved in such an attack.

Given the Seven Skygods' strength, if they joined forces, they should be able to easily force their way into the Perennial World, so why did they not do so? It was because there remained things in the Perennial World that even the Aeternals remained wary of, and the eagle and the Python Ancestor were just two of those things. At this moment, Undying God was fighting against the Python Ancestor, and even the Seven Skygods were worried that Undying God would not be able to return to them.

Boom!

There was another tremor, as a terrifying strength struck the Mother Tree.

Then there was nothing.

The Lower Realm grew quiet.

Lu Yin and the others waited for some time, but after nothing happened for some time, they started making their way towards the Lower Realm.

"Let's go." Lu Yin and Big Sis moved atop the jiao, and Lu Yin ordered the beast into the Lower Realm.

However, the jiao remained lying on the ground, unmoving. It simply clutched its head with its paws.

"The guy must be terrified." Big Sis looked at the jiao oddly.

Lu Yin could also clearly see that the jiao was afraid of the Python Ancestor, and its fear was overwhelming. It would not matter how Lu Yin tried to intimidate the jiao, as not even the slipper could make the beast move at this moment.

"Forget it. We won’t worry about it," Lu Yin said. He then rushed towards the Lower Realm, with Big Sis right on his tail.

Progenitor Liu was wary of Lu Yin and Big Sis. Lu Yin stared as the Python Ancestor continued to wrap itself around the Mother Tree. After a short while, the massive snake closed its eyes and fell back into a deep sleep. "Where’s Undying God?"

Progenitor Liu stared at the Mother Tree’s trunk. In one particular location, beneath the coils of Python Ancestor, Progenitor Liu could feel Undying God’s presence, so the man hurried over.

Lu Yin and Big Sis followed the man, and they soon saw Undying God trapped between the Python Ancestor and the Mother Tree’s trunk.

At this moment, Undying God had regained his standard lazy appearance, looking as though he had not quite woken up. The Python Ancestor had the Skygod’s body pressed against the Mother Tree’s trunk, and he was completely unable to move.

"I knew that this guy was difficult to deal with, but I didn't think that it was this bad. I can't leave for now," Undying God said slowly.

Progenitor Liu unceremoniously slashed at the Skygod with his sword, but the attack could not touch Undying God.

"He still can't be harmed." Progenitor Liu felt rather confused. "Is this an innate gift?"

Big Sis answered somberly, "Drifting. His innate gift is Drifting. It’s a very strange innate gift that initially seems useless, but once it’s used, it becomes very troublesome. With it, he can drift away from a person’s attacks, drift away from space, and even from time."

"So that’s why our attacks can’t do anything to him." Lu Yin was quite surprised.

Big Sis nodded. "I vaguely remember Wu Tian once saying Wu Xing is a genius who could rise to the same level as him. Whenever he’s our opponent, just run away."

Undying God stared at Big Sis. "Your memory is incomplete, Yōu Ming."

Progenitor Liu was taken aback. "Yōu Ming?"

"Progenitor Yōu Ming," Lu Yin answered, much to Progenitor Liu’s shock. "Big Sis is Progenitor Yōu Ming, you heard right. She’s the ancient powerhouse from the legends who’s from the era as the Three Realms Six Dao."

Progenitor Liu stared at Big Sis in shock. "You’re Progenitor Yōu Ming?"

Big Sis glanced over. "What? Are you surprised, kid?"
