Chapter 2037
If Lu Yin or Arch-Elder Zen saw the qi that had appeared behind Lu Buzheng, they would both be shocked, as this was the Tri-Yang Ancestral Qi Technique.
Lu Buzheng had also mastered this technique.
Hen Xin glanced over at Lu Buzheng. "Every time I see you use this technique, I start sweating. You’re incredibly bold. You actually had the courage trick Destiny, and you even pulled it off successfully."
Lu Buzheng grinned and arrogantly lifted his head high. "It was all thanks to Lord Dao Monarch helping me, but because of that, Destina tried to chase me down and kill me. That madwoman would even beat me up whenever she saw me, but just wait until I become a Progenitor! Then we’ll see the difference between her and the real Destiny."
Some distance away, the young man in the gold-trimmed white robe spoke up to offer a reminder. “Here they come."
There was a sea of scarlet eyes arranged before them, and the auras of many with the strength of Envoys could be sensed. There were also two auras that felt familiar. They belonged to Marquis w.a.n.g and the Semi-Progenitor corpse king that had attacked Hen Xin.
"Only three Semi-Progenitors? In that case, I alone am enough." Lu Buzheng stepped forward. He looked small, but he certainly was not weak. He was someone who would even dare to fight against the main branch members of the Lu family, and this courage was why he had been able to acquire the Tri-Yang Technique.
Countless corpse kings rushed forward like a rising sea.
Hen Xin clenched his fists tightly, and then the void started to twist. The man waved his hand, and layers of s.p.a.ce spread out like collapsing skysc.r.a.pers. If no one blocked this attack, it would be enough to annihilate all the corpse kings before them. This was the power of s.p.a.ce.
The white robed young man was stunned. Hen Xin, the master of the Three Fatalities Heavenly Gate, had trained three cultivation methods to the pinnacle, despite his origin as an ordinary human. He had cultivated his domain, battle force, and spiritual force. He had also touched upon the concept of controlling s.p.a.ce.
A Dao Monarch had once said that if Hen Xin became a Progenitor, he would likely control one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, which would make him an elite even among Progenitors.
This was the power of the man’s resolution.
In the distance, Ancient G.o.d stepped forward and appeared in front of the horde of corpse kings. He received the spatial attack that Hen Xin had launched, raised a hand, and casually pressed down to suppress him. "Even when looking at the entire Heavens Sect, there are very few who were able to match your comprehension of s.p.a.ce. You haven’t disappointed me."
Hen Xin's expression instantly changed. Ancient G.o.d had not used force to dissolve the attack, but rather his own mastery of s.p.a.ce. This showed that Ancient G.o.d's understanding of s.p.a.ce was at least on the same level as Hen Xin’s.
Who could compare to Hen Xin when it came to his comprehension of s.p.a.ce?

When Hen Xin noticed Ancient G.o.d’s appearance, the man’s body trembled, and his originally indifferent att.i.tude transformed into horror and disbelief. "You- you- Dao Monarch?"
Lu Buzheng and the white-robed young man were also both staring blankly at Ancient G.o.d. They felt as though they were seeing the sky collapse upon them. Their hearts were shaken, and they felt as though they were seeing the end of the universe.
"The Third Mainland’s Dao Monarch…" Lu Buzheng muttered through dry lips. This was inconceivable.
Hen Xin's pupils fluctuated as he stared at Ancient G.o.d. The man’s entire body was trembling.
Ancient G.o.d calmly looked back at Hen Xin. "So we finally meet again, though for you, it might feel as though only a short amount of time has pa.s.sed."
Hen Xin stared at Ancient G.o.d before finally taking a few steps forward. The man was clearly overwhelmed by emotion. "Dao- Dao Monarch, it's really you? This is impossible! You- how could you become such a monster?"
Ancient G.o.d’s scarlet eyes revealed no hint of either happiness or anger. "If it allows for eternal life, why wouldn’t I?"
Hen Xin could not believe what he was hearing. "Impossible! You must be an imposter! You must be pretending to be the Dao Monarch! You’re a fake!"
The man then shot forward, and his body flashed across s.p.a.ce so quickly that he left behind an afterimage where he had just been standing. It was as if s.p.a.ce did not even exist, and he instantly appeared right in front of Ancient G.o.d and threw a palm strike at the man’s head. A purplish-black substance covered Hen Xin’s arm, and it seemed as though s.p.a.ce itself was as delicate as air, instantly being crushed by the attack.
Ancient G.o.d just shook his head. "I taught you how to use battle force."
As he spoke, he raised his own hand, which was also covered with the same purplish-black substance.
Boom!
The void exploded, and Hen Xin was forced to retreat a few steps back. He waved his hand, and streaks of black appeared from the void that suddenly shot towards Ancient G.o.d. It looked as though s.p.a.ce itself was being ripped away.
Ancient G.o.d commented, "It’s not easy for a person of common birth to reach your current level. The fact that you can toy with s.p.a.ce and rip it away shows that you’ve reached the pinnacle of what most people can even imagine achieving. Unfortunately, you are not facing most people.”
Ancient G.o.d then stretched out a hand and clenched it, utterly crus.h.i.+ng the spatial attack flying at him. Every shard that he shattered caused s.p.a.ce to tremble, and if any one of these shards was casually tossed about, it would destroy a vast region of the universe.
Lu Buzheng ground his teeth, his face twisted into a hideous expression. This was a huge problem. They were actually facing a Dao Monarch! This was something that Lu Buzheng had never even dreamed that they would be forced to deal with. What sort of powerhouse was a Dao Monarch? Was it not true that such individuals were on the same level as Lu Buzheng’s own ancestor? The thought of fighting such a monster left the man trembling.
Lu Buzheng worked hard to suppress his fear, and two streams of qi appeared around him. One took on the form of an astral beast while the other became the image of a middle-aged man. Both of the summoned figures instantly rushed towards Ancient G.o.d.
As soon as Ancient G.o.d saw the two, s.p.a.ce collapsed. "We’ll leave you here for now. Since we Aeternals have entered this place, we will never leave."
As he spoke, Ancient G.o.d punch forward, creating a black hole in s.p.a.ce. The void was pushed back as this black hole moved forward. It casually swallowed the astral beast, but the summoned middle-aged man managed to evade the black hole. He manipulated s.p.a.ce, revealing a deep comprehension of s.p.a.ce much like Hen Xin.
However, if the summoned figure was compared to Hen Xin, then the summoned figure’s mastery of s.p.a.ce was not nearly as carefree and relaxed.
"I remember that you are able to summon Destiny as your third figure with your ancestral qi. Show me." Ancient G.o.d was unconcerned with Hen Xin's terrifying attack, and the ancient powerhouse simply focused on Lu Buzheng.
Lu Buzheng gritted his teeth. This opponent was too difficult for them to face. While both Lu Buzheng and Hen Xin were invincible among Semi-Progenitors, they were both being overwhelmed by their current opponent. What did the Dao Monarch eat growing up? Even though the two men were both from the Heavens Sect’s era, they were completely ignorant as to the history of the Dao Monarch’s rise to power. It was as though the Dao Monarchs had always existed.
"If you want to see it, I'll show you." Lu Buzheng's body became distorted by the third stream of ancestral qi. Suddenly, the man stopped, and he stared at Ancient G.o.d. "I'll show you later."
Ancient G.o.d's eyes flared wider. "You won’t have the chance!"
His body suddenly grew larger and larger, shooting upwards. He instantly became the size of a colossal giant, and yet he still continued to grow larger.
The young man in the gold-trimmed white robe was shocked. "There are rumors that claim that the Third Mainland’s race of colossal giants was created in ancient times by their Dao Monarch. It looks like it’s true."
"It's true, sure enough," Lu Buzheng agreed bitterly. He watched as Ancient G.o.d’s form grew larger and larger, somehow not triggering the mental network. Then, when the manifested thoughts twisted and tried to act against Ancient G.o.d, it was unable to capture him.
Lu Buzheng screamed, "The power of a Progenitor! He’s using his strength as a Semi-Progenitor to match the power of a Progenitor! We need to leave!"
Hen Xin was startled. He had been taught by this Dao Monarch, but he had never fought against the man, as he had never qualified to do so. The gap between their strength had always been too vast. Even at this moment, when they both possessed the strength of Semi-Progenitors, the gap was still too much. It was only at this time that Hen Xin understood what sort of strength the Dao Monarchs wielded.
A Semi-Progenitor who could wield the power of a Progenitor was incomparable to a Semi-Progenitor who was considered invincible. What Semi-Progenitor could even dream of challenging a Progenitor?
Ancient G.o.d became incomparably ma.s.sive, and he swatted at Lu Buzheng with one hand.
Lu Buzheng quickly grabbed the white-robed young man and fled. At the same time, City Lord Qing was grabbed by the figure formed from the stream of Ancestral Qi. The approaching hand looked like it was about to crush a few ants.
Hen Xin looked upwards and embraced s.p.a.ce. He instantly severed it and threw that portion of s.p.a.ce at Ancient G.o.d.
However, given his rise in strength, Ancient G.o.d only needed a single hand to destroy this attack.
With the suppression of the mental network, Ancient G.o.d still had not yet used his strength of a Semi-Progenitor.
The third stream of qi that swirled around Lu Buzheng's body kept s.h.i.+fting, but he felt helpless. It was not that he did not want to summon Destiny, but rather that he was unable to do so. This was Destiny. Even if Lu Buzheng had managed to obtain this ability with the help of his ancestor, he had only had a small probability to summon the Ancient Progenitor.
Given the man’s level of strength, he would have to pay a steep price in order to summon Destiny at the same level of cultivation as him.
Puff!
Lu Buzheng spat out a mouthful of blood.
There was a bang, and Hen Xin was blasted away by Ancient G.o.d. The purplish-black substance on the man’s body cracked, leaving him with a pathetic appearance.
Lu Buzheng's eyes flushed red, and he let out a deep growl. The third stream of qi still failed to successfully take on a form, but he was able to sense something from it, and he suddenly shot northwards.
Hen Xin had been smacked to the east.
Ancestor Tortoise was also to the east.
The young man in the white robe wondered why they were headed north, but this was not the time to ask questions.
Ancient G.o.d glanced at Hen Xin, and then at Lu Buzheng. The ma.s.sive figure lifted a foot and prepared to move to the north, but he was not quick.
He was not able to truly release the strength of a Progenitor, as it was instead a strength that allowed him to resist the Progenitor-level suppression of the mental network. This was all that Ancient G.o.d wanted to do, as it allowed him to utilize the full strength of his Semi-Progenitor avatar.
However, he had reached his limit, and he was about to collapse. Before that happened, Ancient G.o.d had to make sure that he dealt with Lu Buzheng.
Lu Buzheng possessed the ability to summon Destiny. While this might not be a powerful ability in battle, it could easily turn things around at a critical moment. Even Ancient G.o.d was rather fearful of Destiny, and only by dealing with Lu Buzheng would the Aeternals be able to deal with the others.
Even a disciple of Destiny was merely a disciple while Lu Buzheng was able to summon Destiny herself.
Lu Buzheng ground his teeth as he looked back. Ancient G.o.d’s huge body was slowly drawing closer. The man was getting closer to a galaxy, but he circled around it and s.h.i.+fted his direction while continuing to move north.
Such a distance was nothing more than a few steps for Ancient G.o.d, but he just could not manage to catch up to Lu Buzheng, though the distance continued to shrink more and more.
Ancient G.o.d watched as Lu Buzheng suddenly shot eastward, and he also noticed Ancestor Tortoise rapidly approaching from that direction.
On the back of the giant tortoise, Lu Yin and the others were able to see Ancient G.o.d. The ma.s.sive figure was large enough that even a star would be like a piece of gravel to him, and it was impossible to miss, much like Ancestor Tortoise’s own body.
Seeing the warping of the mental network around the colossal figure, even Ni Huang trembled at the sight. “Stop! We can’t go up against that! Stop!"
Lu Yin saw Lu Buzheng up ahead. Although Lu Yin had never seen this man before, there was a sense of familiarity. This person had to be someone from the Lu family.
At this moment, Ancient G.o.d suddenly stopped. An enormous hand rose up and clenched into a fist. s.p.a.ce itself trembled, and the mental network surged, but the giant kept resisting. Cracks appeared on his body. Even a Semi-Progenitor's body could not resist any longer, and Ancient G.o.d was on the verge of collapsing.
Lu Yin's pupils instantly constricted. Ancient G.o.d was preparing to use a battle technique, and he was about to attack. While this attack might not be enough to injure Ancestor Tortoise, it would definitely kill Lu Buzheng.
There was still too much distance between Ancestor Tortoise and Lu Buzheng. There was simply not enough time to cover such a distance. Even if Lu Yin used the Ce Secret Art, it would not be enough. On top of that, regardless of what Lu Yin tried to use, everything would be instantly crushed.
A terrifying and overwhelming power surged between Ancient G.o.d and Lu Buzheng. It was impossible for almost anyone to influence this level of strength.
Lu Buzheng turned his head. His face grew pale. This was the end. Was he just a single step too slow in the end? It seemed like Destiny had miscalculated.
The young man in the white robes also turned pale. He still had not had a chance to s.h.i.+ne in the current era yet. He was someone who would one day become a Dao Monarch and reestablish the Heavens Sect in the future. How could he die in this place? No, that absolutely could not happen.
But regardless of how unwilling the young man might be, there was nothing he could do against Ancient G.o.d’s strength that could even resist the mental network.
