Chapter 2731: Dragon Emperor
In the Three Monarchs Universe, the rainbow wall was starting to crumble. Inside the wall, countless cultivators blankly stared ahead, never imagining that such a massive battle would one day break out in their Three Monarchs Universe.
Outside the rainbow wall, no less than ten peak powerhouses were engaged in combat, including three of the Seven Skygods. Sovereign Shao Yin, Luo Shan, Bai Wangyuan, and the other human powerhouses were all frantically attacking, while Monarch Xing, Chen Le, and Progenitor Long defended the rainbow wall.
Anyone who knew the history of the Three Monarchs Universe would understand that this battle was greater than any other that had ever been fought in the universe.
"Blackless God, Undying God, how dare you show yourselves! Why have you come here?" Sovereign Shao Yin shouted as he moved to suppress the entire area.
Undying God's eyes were bleary, as though he wasnt fully awake. "Revenge"
"If you want revenge, then you should target the Origin Universe!" Luo Shan shouted.
Forgotten Ruins God answered with a delicate smile, "What difference is there between this universe and the Origin Universe?"
Blackless God's voice was deep and possessed great dignity. "Conquer the Three Monarchs Universe and the Origin Universe today!"
"Youre delusional!" Bai Wangyuan, Xia Shenji, and Specter Progenitor all attacked.
The Three Monarchs Universes monarch essence churned as the universe itself shifted and the energy shattered.
From the rainbow wall, Chen Le solemn watched on, still not reconciled to all that had just happened.
The spatial passage had been opened, and the Heavens Sect had confronted both the four ruling powers and Luo Shan, which had terrified Chen Le. The moment that Lu Yin was exposed and a decisive battle broke out, Chen Le would have no way to escape.
The conflict had already started, and the new Monarch had no idea how things would turn out. All he knew was that he was concerned about Lu Yin's side.
Lu Yins life did not matter to Chen Le, but the young man could not be exposed.
Even as Chen Le thought about the current situation, he fired off one arrow after another.
The Three Monarchs Universe was not only being attacked by three of the Seven Skygods, but also by two Progenitor-level corpse kings. One had a massive body that was large enough to toy with stars and tear a galaxy apart with a single swipe of its hand. The other was invincible after undergoing a Corpse King Transformation, and it tangled with both Specter Progenitor and Xia Shenji. No matter how hard the two Progenitors fought, they were completely unable to injure the corpse king.
The Sky-Devouring Nine Wolves swept across the battlefield!
The wolf heads devoured all they encountered, so powerful that even Sovereign Shao Yin was afraid of them.
Atop the rainbow wall, Monarch Xing's eyes remained calm. She was another person who had fought on the Endless Frontier, and this was not her first time participating in such a battle.
Elsewhere, the portion of the rainbow wall where Progenitor Long stood guard had no Progenitor-level corpse king. The man was already doing all that he was willing to do, as he would not risk his life to protect the Three Monarchs Universe.
He stared off into the distance. Each one of the Seven Skygods were ancient monsters who were far too difficult to deal with. Even when the Python Ancestor had woken up and taken action, it had not been able to kill Undying God.
Progenitor Long simply hoped that the battle would end quickly. Lu Xiaoxuan needed to be dealt with promptly, or else the four ruling powers would never be able to relax.
Just as the Progenitor was thinking about his situation, the balance of the battlefield suddenly changed. The enormous corpse king was pushed away by Sovereign Shao Yins Power of Extreme Yin, and the monster was shoved straight to the part of the rainbow wall that Progenitor Long was guarding. The Progenitors expression changed drastically, and the gigantic corpse king turned to lock scarlet eyes with the man.
What terrible luck to be the one receiving the corpse king!
Progenitor Long could not even determine whether Sovereign Shao Yin had it on purpose.
Further down, across the rainbow wall, countless cultivators fled in terror.
The huge Progenitor-level corpse king continued to fall back further and further, pushed by the Power of Extreme Yin that corroded the monsters chest. Sovereign Shao Yins Power of Extreme Yin was a dark and ethereal attack, but it possessed an overwhelming corrosiveness. Even the Progenitor-level corpse king was unable to endure the power of the attack, and if not for the creatures enormous body, this single attack would have melted it into a puddle of blood.
Even so, the monsters heart had been completely destroyed.
The sight horrified Progenitor Long. He understood perfectly well just how powerful a Progenitor-level corpse king was. Despite that, Sovereign Shao Yin was able to so easily destroy such a body. Just how powerful was the Sovereigns Power of Extreme Yin?
As this thought flickered through Progenitor Longs mind, the huge corpse king turned to look at the rainbow wall with its scarlet eyes, and then it raised a hand to attack.
An eye appeared in the middle of Progenitor Long's forehead, though it was completely different from his other two eyes. The eye glanced to the side, and the massive hand descending was reduced to nothing. "Get lost!"
This third eye possessed a power that was somewhat similar to the Power of Extreme Yin. One corroded whatever it struck, while the other annihilated all it encountered. Progenitor Long wanted to drive the giant corpse king away with his power, but the monster had decided to target the rainbow wall, and it continued to attack even after its hand was destroyed.
The Progenitor had no choice but to put his strange eye away. He could not use this power for an extended amount of time, and after failing to drive the corpse king away with a single attack, Progenitor Long had no choice but to make more direct moves.
Upon seeing that the corpse kings other hand was about to strike the rainbow wall, what appeared to be dragon scales started to appear across Progenitor Longs body. His pupils transformed, and dragon horns appeared on his head. The scales quickly covered his entire body, and a spear appeared in his hand that he thrust forward.
The spears tip pierced the corpse kings palm, and the power of a Progenitor exploded upwards, crashing into the corpse king's face after piercing its hand.
The giant corpse king raised its other arm to block Progenitor Longs attack as its hand clamped down upon the spear that had stabbed into its palm. Black lines spread along the monsters blood vessels, instantly covering the entire gigantic body. The corpse kings aura changed, becoming darker and more sinister.
Progenitor Long wanted to pull back his spear, but it was stuck in the corpse kings palm and could not be withdrawn. How was this possible?
The corpse king suddenly clenched a fist and moved to crush Progenitor Long.
Five images of Progenitor Long suddenly surrounded him. This was the White Dragon Surveying the Sky.
The corpse kings other arm fell, and it used both limbs to try to squeeze Progenitor Long to death.
The images created by the White Dragon Surveying the Sky cracked, and Progenitor Long grew solemn. The strange eye appeared on his head again, and he stared at the corpse king's face through a gap between its fingers.
The corpse king howled miserably. One of its eyes was destroyed, and its body rocked backwards.
Progenitor Long seized the opening to shoot forward, instantly appearing right in front of the corpse king. The power of a Progenitor surged and formed a massive spear that shot straight at the corpse kings forehead to release a massive attack.
Suddenly, the black lines that covered the corpse king's body converged as its forehead, right when the tip of the spear struck it. There was an explosion, and space warped before being completely torn apart.
A massive hole opened to reveal the Hollow. It looked like a ribbon of darkness had unfurled across the Three Monarchs Universe.
Beneath the rainbow wall, the cultivators from the universe trembled in fear as they watched their universe be split asunder.
Chen Le looked over from another section of the rainbow wall, shocked. Were the Origin Universes Progenitors all this powerful? Chen Le wondered if he could face the giant corpse king, but he knew that it was impossible for him to do so head-on. His Monarch Arrows were powerful and deadly, but they did not allow him to engage in melee combat.
Bai Wangyuan and others were in no position to offer Progenitor Long any assistance. While they were stronger than Progenitor Long, that did not mean that the man was weak by any means. He had survived since the Daosource Sect era, and he had even fought against masters of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas before.
Within the Fifth Mainland, Lu Yin moved to the Shenwu Continent so that he could peer through the spatial passage. He could sense the scale of the massive battle on the other side, and it was clear that multiple peak powerhouses were fighting against each other.
Arch-Elder Zen was getting worried. "If the Three Monarchs Universe falls, we will face trouble here as well."
Lu Yin shook his head. "The Aeternals can't defeat that universe. They put forth a great deal of effort to save Undying God, and right now, Sovereign Shao Yin is fighting along with Bai Wangyuan and the rest. Unless more of the Seven Skygods appear, the Aeternals wont be able to conquer the Three Monarchs Universe. Besides, Luo Shan himself is no pushover.
"After this battle is over, we will still need to face them," the older man stated.
Lu Yin's eyes flickered. While Aeternus would not be able to conquer the Three Monarchs Universe, as long as the situation did not change unexpectedly or force Lu Yin to expose himself, Aeternus would not give up that easily. To do otherwise would be to render their attack pointless.
Even so, Lu Yin still could not help but wonder. Why had the Aeternals helped him?
"That person is also still watching us," Arch-Elder Zen commented.
Lu Yin glanced to the side. "You dont need to worry about him."
Wang Fan had remained behind to prevent Lu Yin from resealing the spatial passage, which gave Lu Yin an excuse to leave it open.
In the Three Monarchs Universe, the rainbow wall cracked in more than one location. How could it endure a battle that involved so many peak powerhouses?
Progenitor Long held his spear aloft in a hand and the massive corpse king in the other. A scarlet eye glared at Progenitor Long as the corpse king roared furiously before attacking with both arms.
This corpse king could not be regarded as a true peak powerhouse, as it was merely a monster that possessed the physical might of a Progenitor.
Progenitor Long avoided the attack as his strange eye shifted to look at the corpse kings other scarlet eye.
The corpse king had been on guard and was thus able to evade this attack. The monster twisted and spun around to release another attack.
Progenitor Long did not dare to enter the void to avoid the punch, as this attack was powerful enough to pierce the void as well. If he was in the void when it was shattered, then it would be extremely dangerous. Still, that did not mean that it was difficult to dodge the punch.
Progenitor Long continued to avoid each of the corpse king's attacks.
For half an hour, the corpse king remained completely focused on the Progenitor, clearly having no intention of diverting its attention anywhere else.
Progenitor Long had no desire to face the monster seriously. It was a very difficult to kill a corpse king that had the physical might of a Progenitor, and Progenitor Long would need to pay a price to do so. However, he was not willing to pay that price for the sake of the Three Monarchs Universe.
Suddenly, the corpse king stopped attacking the Progenitor, and it instead kicked at the rainbow wall. The kick instantly shattered the rainbow wall, slaughtering many of the cultivators who had been inside the wall, as well as many of the attacking corpse kings. The giant corpse king had ignored its own in order to attack the rainbow wall.
"Progenitor Long, what are you doing?" Luo Shan shouted.
An arrow pierced through the void as it shot towards the corpse king, stabbing into its shoulder, but this did nothing other than make the corpse king pause briefly before it continued its assault on the rainbow wall.
Chen Le fired another arrow.
Progenitor Long looked around, only to see that the rest of the rainbow wall was still secure. If anything happened in the place where he stood guard, it would cause a death grudge to form between Luo Shan and the Progenitor.
Progenitor Long felt cornered, as he had no choice but to treat this battle seriously.
Realizing his situation, the man closed his eyes and opened his strange third eye. His body suddenly split open, and a roar echoed through the Three Monarchs Universe as he released his Progenitors world: Dragon Emperor.
Countless people stared in a daze as they witnessed something unforgettable.
A truly massive creature suddenly appeared, seemingly filling up the entire universe as it released a roar that shook space itself. This was Progenitor Longs Progenitors world: Dragon Emperor. It was similar to Elder Ni Huangs inner world, but both the size and power were incomparable. While Progenitor Longs Dragon Emperor was far from comparable to the Python Ancestor's size, it was still around half its size. The Dragon Emperor only had one eye, which was Progenitor Longs strange third eye.
Once the Dragon Emperor appeared, the creatures tail twitched, and the enormous corpse king was forced back dozens of steps, retreating again and again. Each step it took smashed the void.
The corpse king grabbed the Dragon Emperors tail, but the jiaos strength surpassed the corpse kings expectations, and even its Progenitor-level strength was insufficient to hold on.
The Dragon Emperor rammed its head against the corpse king, knocking the giant back. The strange eye looked over, devouring the void before it, and the corpse kings arms started to disappear.
Chen Les mouth fell open as he stared, stunned. This terrifying level of strength was far beyond what most peak powerhouses were capable of unleashing. Was this the level of the Origin Universes experts?
Monarch Xing was similarly shocked, as Progenitor Longs combat power was truly terrifying.
Luo Shan also looked over, suddenly concerned. This was the level of the Origin Universe. No one could guess what sort of powerhouses could emerge from that ancient universe.
Among the four ruling powers, everyone regarded the White Dragon Clans Progenitor Long as the weakest Progenitor, but the power that the man had just revealed was something that no one would dare to look down upon.
Bai Wangyuan and others from the Perennial World were not surprised. If Progenitor Long did not possess at least this level of strength, how could they regard him as a peer?
Did people really believe that simply being a Progenitor was sufficient? Progenitor Long had lived longer than any other Progenitor in the four ruling powers, and he was even older than the masters of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. If he did not possess a level of strength beyond that of most Progenitors, how could he have been allowed to join the four ruling powers?
There were both advantages and disadvantages to how the White Dragon Clan relied on the Python Ancestor, but as long as Progenitor Long did not die, it was likely that he would eventually become the next Python Ancestor.
