Chapter 2913: Annihilation

Lu Yin’s one word sent the second battalion forward. They were led by the jiao, which shot straight at where the fighting was the fiercest. The mountain-backed giants that they encountered along the way were all torn apart by the jiao. The most powerful mountain-backed giant was unquestionably taller than 100,000 meters, and its cultivation level was equal to a Semi-Progenitor’s. Even so, the jiao easily tore the giant apart, and blood filled outer space.

They proceeded further and further, and even the giant cyclops nearly attacked them when they saw the second battalion joining the battle.

The Sixverse Association warned all the cultivators that entered the Giants' Purgatory that, while they supported the giant cyclops in their battle against the mountain-backed giants, that did not mean that the giant cyclops were their allies. They only had a symbiotic relationship, as if they didn’t help the giant cyclops, it would be impossible to hold back the Aeternals.

In the same manner, the Aeternals were not the mountain-backed giants’ allies either.

While the Giants' Purgatory might appear to be split into two sides at first glance, the truth was that it was a four-way battle.

However, the second battalion was fearless. Even if the giant cyclops and the mountain-backed giants attacked them in unison, the battalion was confident that they could safely leave the Giants' Purgatory. Besides, the cyclops normally would not do anything to cultivators from the Sixverse Association.

The jiao charged across the battlefield, its huge eyes flitting all about. Not only did this vicious battlefield not excite the beast, but it also made it incredibly wary. While the super giants did not seem to pose any threat to the jiao, it found them too big for comfort.

Lu Yin looked into the distance. Why was there no opposition?

So far, they had only seen the super giants fighting against each other. There had not been so much as a single corpse king.

No, if there really were no corpse kings in the universe, then it would have already been given a green light, as purging a universe only required all of Aeternus’s forces to be eliminated. Regardless of whether the super giants were hostile towards the Sixverse Association, they were unable to leave their universe, and they also never viewed humans as a threat.

Suddenly, Mu Ke attacked the right side with his saber. Lu Yin and the others reflexively looked over, only to see a huge, invisible arm stretching out towards them. They had only noticed the arm after Mu Ke attacked it, and the silent, invisible arm had nearly struck the second battalion.

The blade clashed with the hand, opening a bleeding wound.

"What a sharp blade. Are you Mu Ke?" A deep voice spoke from a great distance. It rang across the universe with such force that it caused the void to tremble.

Mu Ke clenched the handle of the weapon. "Cyclops King, why did you attack us?"

Lu Yin’s eyes flickered. The ruler of the giant cyclops was one of the two most powerful individuals in the Giants' Purgatory, and his physical strength was so excessive that even sequence powerhouses would struggle to break through it. Lu Yin had heard this warning from Mu Ke before they arrived in the universe.

Mu Ke had fought in the Giants' Purgatory once before.

The arm retracted, and in the next moment, a terrifying figure appeared. It was impossible to even estimate this giant’s height. His presence alone overshadowed all the other super giants, and a boiling heat rose from his body, twisting the void.

The second battalion was stunned by the sight as an unspeakable pressure fell upon them. It felt as though the universe was collapsing.

Lu Yin looked up and saw a single massive eye staring at him. This Cyclops King was probably about the same size as Progenitor Chen’s giant clone. Such an enormous giant could play with planets like they were marbles. Sure enough, there was an even larger super giant in the Giants' Purgatory who was comparable to Progenitor Chen's giant clone.

The jiao’s mouth fell open in shock, and it automatically wanted to flee. The giant dwarfed the jiao in size, which terrified the beast.

"You’ve come with such an impressive lineup. Could it be that your Sixverse Association is finally willing to bring your strength to my Giants' Purgatory?" When the Cyclops King spoke, his voice resonated like a bell, and it contained an odd pressure.

Lu Yin looked up. "The Heavens Sect has launched a crusade to conquer the Endless Frontier, and the Giants' Purgatory will not be ignored."

"Little thing, who are you?" The Cyclops King was curious.

"I’m a member of the Sixverse Association, the ruler of the Origin Universe," Lu Yin solemnly replied.

The Cyclops King spat in contempt. "The Aeternals are right! The Sixverse Association has grown weaker if such a pathetic little thing can become the ruler of a universe. Child, where are your parents?"

Lu Yin's expression fell, and Mu Ke prepared to attack. However, before the Arborean could do anything, Lu Yin stopped him. "Senior Brother, let me do it."

Mu Ke glanced over. "The Cyclops King's defense is second only to Corpse God’s. If not for the fact that he is bound to this universe by its laws, no one could stop him."

Lu Yin nodded. "His defenses might be impressive, but I’m far from weak. Even if I can’t do anything, he needs to pay for what he’s said."

As Lu Yin spoke, the lines of light of Infinity appeared around his body. "Cyclops King, open your eyes and take a good look. Your size just makes you an easier target."

He took a step forward and arrived directly in front of the Cyclops King. More lines of light merged into Lu Yin’s body as his Wielder-realm battle force spread across his arm and the Immovable Heavenly King Elephant roared. The gray star in Lu Yin’s universe trembled, and he confined a hundred punches with the power of time.

The Cyclops King sneered, and then his enormous body suddenly swayed. "Little thing, you can't even touch me."

In the giant’s eyes, Lu Yin was very miniscule, and Lightstream was even smaller. The Cyclops King intended to use his flexibility to evade Lu Yin's punch, but he did not expect Lightstream to reverse time by one second. The giant suddenly reappeared where he had just been standing.

The sudden change was too shocking for him to even react, and at that moment, Lu Yin’s punch landed. The power of time had confined a full hundred punches into one.

A cry rang out as Lu Yin, a human smaller than an ant to the giant, punched the Cyclops King on his upper lip. The force of a hundred confined punches was released, carrying Wielder-realm battle force and the raw power of Infinity. Not even a sequence powerhouse could easily face this attack head-on.

With a bang, black cracks radiated out from the Cyclops King’s upper lip. First, his head tipped back, and then the rest of his body leaned back. He had been forced back by Lu Yin's punch.

Lu Yin remained standing in outer space. He looked down at his fist. The feeling of his fist striking the Cyclops King had been very similar to how it felt to attack Corpse God. With Heaven’s Sight, Lu Yin had seen sequence particles cover the body of the giant.

While the punch had thrown the Cyclops King back, it had not harmed the giant at all. The only thing was that the sequence particles on his head had been partially dispersed.

This meant that Lu Yin’s punch had not even truly struck the Cyclops King, as it had been blocked by the sequence particles.

Still, while his punch might not have harmed the Cyclops King at all, it had been plenty powerful. The giant had not been acting when he had reared back, as he had moved back out of reflex in order to disperse a bit of the punch’s force. This indicated that he had acknowledged Lu Yin’s power.

After only bending back briefly, the Cyclops King quickly straightened back up and then glared at Lu Yin. "Little thing, you dare to punch me?"

Lu Yin grinned cheekily. "If your skin wasn't so thick, that punch would have cracked your skull."

The Cyclops King became furious, and he slapped a hand at Lu Yin.

Suddenly, the giant’s arm froze and then jerked back. A black line spread down his arm, a cut appearing as the Hollow opened. Mu Ke had lashed out.

The Cyclops King turned to glare at Mu Ke.

The Arborean looked up, his saber pointed straight at the Cyclops King. "If you want to start a war with my Sixverse Association, keep going."

The Cyclops King angrily shouted, "Who is he? Your son? Why else would you protect him so much?"

Lu Yin put his hands behind his back and looked at the Cyclops King, "I already told you, I’m the ruler of the Origin Universe. Lu Yin, the Dao Monarch of the Heaven Sect."

The Cyclops King was startled. "The Heavens Sect’s Dao Monarch? The same Heavens Sect that reached an unprecedented height before being destroyed by the Aeternals?"

Lu Yin was taken aback. "You’ve heard of the Heavens Sect?"

Very few of the Sixverse Association’s weaker cultivators ever entered the Three Purgatories. Those three parallel universes were not a place for weaklings. For such people, entering the Three Purgatories was not training, but a death sentence. In the end, only a few of the most powerful individuals ever entered those universes, so it was difficult to come by information about other universes in here.

The Three Purgatories might not even know about other places like the Gemini Universe or the Lilliput Universe.

The Cyclops King had not known about Lu Yin, the ruler of the Origin Universe, but he had heard of the Heavens Sect’s Dao Monarchs before. It was clear that the name of the Heavens Sect was what he had recognized.

"Someone once briefly passed through here, claiming to be from the Heavens Sect. I learned about the Heavens Sect from him. Unfortunately, the Heavens Sect of that past era has already disappeared, which means that your Heavens Sect is most likely a fake."

Lu Yin grew curious. "Who came through here? What was his name?"

The Cyclops King sneered. "Why should I tell you? I might, if you can also take one of my punches."

Only an idiot would take a punch from this giant. Such an attack would not be much weaker than a punch from Corpse God. Even if Lu Yin was more confident in his own strength, he would never agree to such a stupid thing.

For the moment, the Cyclops King was not attacking due to his fear of Mu Ke. That did not mean that the giant could not defeat Mu Ke, but that Mu Ke was strong enough to make the Cyclops King concerned.

"Cyclops King, why did you just attack us?" Mr. Daheng asked.

The Cyclops King looked over. "You’re here as well? I recognize a number of people here."

Mr. Daheng gave a small smile. "Without being at my level, how could anyone dare to enter the Giants' Purgatory?"

The Cyclops King's eyes lit up, glowing with desire and bloodlust. "Since all of you are now here, help me destroy the mountain-backed giants! You have the strength to do it!"

Mr. Daheng glanced over at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin calmly replied, "Given our strength, we can do that, as long as there’s no interference from the Aeternals. It’s very difficult for True God or the Seven Skygods to appear right now, which is why this crusade was sent to conquer the Endless Frontier. This is the time to put an end to this Giants' Purgatory.”

The Cyclops King's burned brighter and brighter as Lu Yin spoke. "Yes! It's time! It’s true that very few of the Aeternals have been coming here lately, so we can destroy the mountain-backed giants once and for all."

Lu Yin looked at the giant. "We can."

The bloodlust blazed even more intensely in the eyes of the Cyclops King. "We absolutely must destroy them!"

He thought of the curse that they had suffered for countless years. Such a way of life was more painful than death. He wanted to die, but that death could not be at the hands of the mountain-backed giants. Even if the Aeternals wanted to kill the Cyclops King, he would not resist, but the Sixverse Association would not agree to such a thing. The same was also true of the mountain-backed giants that the cyclopes fought against. They would readily accept being destroyed by the Sixverse Association to put an end to their pain, but the Aeternals would not allow it.

The Giants' Purgatory was locked in a strange cycle, but the arrival of Lu Yin and the second battalion could finally end that cycle.

"Tell me, why did you just attack us?" Lu Yin shouted.

The Cyclops King was startled by the question. "Help me kill the mountain-backed giants, and I’ll tell you."

Lu Yin laughed. "I think that fighting against those mountain-backed giants for so many years has damaged your brain! You don’t have a choice. Tell me, or else I’ll help the mountain-backed giants destroy you."

The Cyclops King's eyes flared. "That's fine. Go ahead and destroy my cyclops."

Lu Yin had not expected the Cyclops King to be so stubborn.
