Chapter 3203: Surrounding And Killing Arrow God

This was not the first time that Arrow God had taken action. Every time she fought, Sovereign Dou Sheng had intercepted and faced the woman. The only exception was during her first appearance. That time, she had subdued the entire battlefield with her arrows, shocking everyone.

After that first battle, Lu Yin had almost always ignored Arrow God, because Sovereign Dou Sheng was such an effective counter to her.

This was Lu Yin’s first time actually facing Arrow God.

"Kill."

That single command caused the Abandoned to vanish. He had waited for this moment for a very long time. Finally, he could avenge his civilization’s destruction.

The Abandoned appeared right behind Arrow God, already stabbing his knife at her snow-white neck. As the blade seemed to pierce her crimson hair, an arrow suddenly blocked it. Arrow God grabbed hold of the arrow and then deflected the blade with a soft clang. The Abandoned shifted locations and attacked from the side. He was always able to gain an advantage due to his sequence particles.

He had fought Arrow God too many times for him to believe that he could easily kill her, but this time, he was not alone.

From another direction, Ye Wu formed a circle with his hands, unleashing Heaven’s Furnace. He had already seen Arrow God's power when he had participated in the battle at the Second Scourge, which had resulted in Xu Jin’s death. Without Sovereign Dou Sheng, no one could have restrained this woman.

Without even turning her head, Arrow God repeatedly blocked the Abandoned’s knife. She held her bow with a foot and drew the string with her left hand, firing arrow after arrow at Ye Wu. While none of these arrows were particularly powerful, Ye Wu’s scalp went numb. He knew that he could not stop these arrows, but he had to at least try.

The third and fourth arrows failed, but the fifth stabbed into Ye Wu’s body with a spray of blood.

When Arrow God had first appeared on the First Scourge, her first attack that had landed was her fifth arrow, which had pierced Lord Xu’s body. After that, she had suppressed the entire battlefield.

Her arrows were very strange.

The Abandoned’s face fell. His sequence particles were useless at protecting him from these attacks, which meant that he had no choice but to retreat.

Things were proceeding the same as ever. When the Abandoned had first ambushed Arrow God, her sequence particles had completely thrown his own into complete disarray.

Yes, disarray. Arrow God had mastered the Law of Disarray.

Lu Yin moved forward with Inverse Step, traveling at the speed of time. It was time for him to attack. After all, this opponent was one of the Three Pillars and Six Skies, and she was incredibly powerful.

Arrow God's scarlet hair fluttered in the air as her sequence particles spread into the void and beyond. When Lu Yin stepped into the vicinity of her sequence particles, Inverse Step instantly failed, and he was also met by one of Arrow God’s arrows.

Infinity appeared, and its lines of strength were already colliding with each other.

The arrow entered within Infinity’s range, where the lines of strength slammed into each other, creating new lines. As the arrow drew closer to Lu Yin, the lines of strength that were in front of him almost completely filled the air, and they successfully blocked the arrow.

Ultimately, the arrow dropped to the ground in front of Lu Yin.

Arrow God was unbothered, and she simply fired another arrow.

This arrow entered Infinity’s lines of strength as well, and the same events as before played out again.

This time, Arrow God was surprised. What was happening?

Behind her, the Abandoned’s broken blade drew closer, but Arrow God bashed it aside with another arrow, forcing the man to retreat.

Heaven’s Furnace appeared, releasing its incredible pressure as it attempted to obliterate Arrow God.

Arrow God's pupils changed multiple times before finally settling on the Pupilless Transformation. She clenched an arrow tightly as she leaped forward, stabbing the arrow into Heaven’s Furnace.

There was a clang, and Heaven’s Furnace cracked. Still, it did not shatter. It had managed to endure even an attack from Arrow God undergoing the Pupilless Transformation.

Another arrow fell to the ground in front of Lu Yin. He absorbed Infinity’s lines of strength back into his body and threw a punch. At this moment, divine energy suddenly shrouded Arrow God’s body. The divine energy surged around her, and while she continued to use the Pupilless Transformation, the divine energy now twined around an arrow. As it tore through Heaven’s Furnace, Lu Yin’s punch struck.

Heaven’s Furnace had successfully trapped Xu Jin, but it could not contain Arrow God.

Xu Jin had lacked the physical power necessary to break free from Heaven’s Furnace, as the feat required absurd levels of brute strength.

Arrow God had cultivated the Corpse King Transformation to the Pupilless Transformation, which was why she was capable of matching Sovereign Dou Sheng in close-range combat.

Not all the arrows that had stabbed into the Sovereign had been shot from a distance.

Bang!

Arrow God was sent flying by Lu Yin’s punch, which caused further damage. Not even she could handle the incredible power behind Lu Yin’s punch. Her body smashed through her palace, and it hurtled through the sky high above the Fifth Scourge.

Supreme had been waiting for this, and the mecha’s sword rose and slashed down. The blade slammed Arrow God back down into the ground.

She tried to overcome her body’s momentum, but all the attacks striking her were too powerful. Arrow God could only raise her arms in an attempt to defend herself as she was struck by the sword. Blood sprayed from her mouth as her body was driven deep into the ground of the Scourge.

Supreme grabbed the enormous sword’s hilt with both hands and then thrust the blade into the ground, trying to impale Arrow God.

Down below, Arrow God’s eyes suddenly snapped open. Divine energy shot upward, blunting the impact of Supreme's sword.

The tip of the blade continued to press down, but it failed to tear through the divine energy. Arrow God took advantage of the opportunity to avoid the attack, and the enormous blade sank into the ground, all the way up to its hilt.

The Abandoned and Ye Wu both stepped on Supreme as they raced towards Arrow God.

In the sky above, an enormous landmass had appeared, and it started to drop.

Lu Yin, by joining forces with three of the Heavens Sect’s Outer Eight Paths, would be able to surround and kill Arrow God.

Sovereign Dou Sheng had fought Arrow God on multiple occasions, and he had learned that her arrows were called Chaotic Arrows. Every arrow she fired transformed order into chaos, which meant that any power used to block the arrows would become increasingly disordered, until it failed to take shape entirely. This was the true danger of Arrow God’s Chaotic Arrows.

This was why any attempt to block the Chaotic Arrows might as well be a joke, and the only real way to deal with them was to simply endure the attacks.

Extremes Must Be Reversed was the reason why Sovereign Dou Sheng was the natural nemesis of her Chaotic Arrows.

However, that did not mean that there was only one person who perfectly countered the technique.

Lu Yin's Infinity could not have blocked a Chaotic Arrow in the past. But he had since succeeded in transforming the inner world in the Mirari Realm by introducing ever-rising power in the form of the collisions between the lines of strength. These collisions were entirely random.

Because the collisions were entirely random, Arrow God’s Chaotic Arrows had absolutely no effect whatsoever.

The simplest way to explain the situation was that purely chaotic punches could defeat even a master. It was as simple as that.

With her Chaotic Arrow perfectly countered yet again, Arrow God's Pupilless Transformation and divine energy no longer gave her much of an advantage, which made her less of a threat, compared to the other Three Pillars and Six Skies.

Ye Wu and Supreme both boasted defenses that were capable of withstanding attacks from even the Seven Skygods, while Lu Yin could launch attacks powerful enough to threaten experts at their level.

Arrow God had gone to the Fifth Scourge without any support from the other Aeternals. There was no doubt that she was doomed.

The massive sword swept out again. Its blade was sharp enough to threaten Arrow God, even with her Pupilless Transformation.

Ye Wu was also capable of launching incredibly powerful attacks, and he had even mastered a mysterious law of the universe that even Arrow God feared.

The Abandoned was always able to remain one step ahead of his opponents, which meant that Arrow God was forced to continuously release her sequence particles to counter him, and she was quickly exhausting herself.

All the while, the landmass continued to press down from up above.

By all appearances, Arrow God had been pushed into a desperate situation.

From the top of the black Mother Tree, True God watched in silence. If Aeternus made any move, the Heavens Sect would respond. The Boundary Guardians had not yet declared war on the Heavens Sect, which meant that the Aeternals did not hold any advantage.

However, it was impossible for them to kill Arrow God.

Boom!

A deafening crack rang out as the Fifth Scourge split open, just like what had happened to the Second Scourge before.

Arrow God was completely suppressed by the landmass, and she also had to deal with Ye Wu and the others' attacks, which prevented her from moving.

Lu Yin and the others stood on top of his landmass, looking down. Arrow God's presence had already vanished.

The Abandoned closed his eyes. It was over. Finally, he had avenged his lost civilization.

Lu Yin frowned. Was it really that easy?

While it was true that Lu Yin had formed a team to deal with someone at the level of the Seven Skygods, this battle had seemed far too easy. Arrow God had been suppressed and overwhelmed from start to finish, and she had barely been able to fight back. It also seemed like she had only returned to the Fifth Scourge in order to die.

When Lu Yin had fought against Feng Bo in the Mirari Realm, despite being well informed of the man’s abilities and power, Lu Yin still had to fight against the man repeatedly, while also experiencing several moments of enlightenment before he finally succeeding in killing Feng Bo.

As another one of the Three Pillars and Six Skies, it was impossible for Arrow God to be any weaker than Feng Bo. Despite that, Lu Yin had not even needed to use things like Flipping the Sky or Evernight. Had the woman really died that easily?

It all seemed too easy, but there was no denying that Arrow God's presence had vanished.

Lu Yin dismissed the landmass, and he stared at the ground down below.

Arrow God lay supine, her crimson hair splayed out. Blood painted the ground around her, as though decorating a beautiful painting. The corpse was not ugly or gruesome after being crushed by the landmass. Instead, Arrow God still looked quite beautiful.

The Abandoned started walking forward.

"What are you doing?" Lu Yin asked.

The man did not even look back. "I'm going to cut off her head and take it back to serve as a tribute."

Lu Yin did not try to stop the man. Arrow God had destroyed the Abandoned's entire civilization, which had spanned an entire universe. As a sequence powerhouse, the Abandoned had hidden himself in his universe, living in secrecy so that he could get avenge for his people. There were no words to express the hatred the man felt for Arrow God.

Ye Wu did not really like this development. He had already considered letting Ye Xiaoxiao use Arrow God’s body for the symbiotic corpses technique. In the past, Ye Wu had not wanted Xiaoxiao to even touch the cultivation method, as he had simply wanted to protect the girl’s smile. However, as the massive war against Aeternus continued to unfold, Ye Wu had realized that his hopes had been too naive. No one could avoid a war between the two species. There was no escape, so he hoped to find some way for Ye Xiaoxiao to protect herself.

There was no denying that Arrow God had been extremely powerful. Ever since Ye Wu had merged with Progenitor Chen’s corpse, he had rarely encountered such a difficult opponent. Aeternus was the greatest threat, and they were even more dangerous than Lu Yin. While the battle against Arrow God had seemed easy with the woman surrounded, things had actually been very dangerous. Even the smallest mistake could have resulted in one of the men dying.

It was unfortunate that Arrow God was an Aeternal who had cultivated divine energy. Due to that, Ye Xiaoxiao could not use the woman’s body for the symbiotic corpses method.

The Abandoned arrived at Arrow God’s corpse and clenched his broken blade. He crouched down and stretched out a hand to remove the woman’s head.

Suddenly, Arrow God’s eyes snapped open. The Abandoned was startled, and he instinctively used his sequence particles to stay a step ahead. As he did so, Arrow God’s body shattered, and another figure emerged from the broken remnants of the corpse. There was a surge of divine energy that enveloped a snow-white body. She held an arrow and slashed it through the void, attacking Lu Yin’s nearby form.

Arrow God was fast, but Lu Yin was even faster. He immediately used Inverse Step to move at the speed of time, freezing everything in the area.

However, Arrow God's sequence particles spread through the void, disabling Inverse Step. Lu Yin looked at where Arrow God was clenching an arrow. There was no missing how sharp the tip was as she stabbed it at Lu Yin's face.

Lu Yin knew that it would not be that easy to take out one of the Three Pillars and Six Skies. The earlier battle had been too easy. At this moment, Arrow God did not feel any weaker than she had before, and she did not seem to have suffered any injuries at all. How was that possible? Had the entire battle been for nought? That should be impossible.

Suddenly Arrow God vanished, as did Lu Yin. Both of them had entered Evernight.

The moment Arrow God had attacked the Abandoned, Lu Yin had pulled out Evernight, hiding the card in the void. He suspected that Arrow God was not truly completely unharmed from their earlier fight, and he intended to finish her off within Evernight’s pocket dimension.

The two disappeared, and Evernight floated in the air. The Abandoned and Ye Wu exchanged glances, both of them hesitating over whether they should enter.

Inside Supreme, Emperor Shang was glancing all around the Scourge. All the battles he had taken part in recently had been more dangerous than anything the Infinity Empire had faced throughout the countless years before. They had truly entered the center of the largest conflict in the megaverse. If the Infinity Empire had discovered Aeternus before the Fifth Mainland, all of their people would have already become corpse kings.

The thought made the man shiver.
