Star Odyssey Chapter 2861: Returning To The Wall Of Purity

Chapter 2861: Returning To The Wall Of Purity

The jiao came back. When Ancestor Tortoise saw it, it pulled its head into its sh.e.l.l.

Upon returning, the jiao did not behave as arrogantly as before, and it did not dare to flash its fangs or claws. It had been scolded by Lu Yin.

The beast had been a complete embarra.s.sment at the Tea Ceremony. Lu Yin had tried to get the jiao to bite Corpse G.o.d, but the beast had shrunk down to its smallest size and done its best to disappear during Lu Yin’s Semi-Progenitor tribulation. It had been completely useless.

Throughout Lu Yin's scolding, the jiao never dared to make any attempt to retaliate. All it could do was flex its claws to indicate understanding.

There was similarly nothing that Lu Yin could do about the dumb beast. The truth was that, if the jiao's mind had not been destroyed by lightning, it would undoubtedly be incredibly strong.

Long ago, even Forgotten Ruins G.o.d had been impressed by the jiao’s defenses.

If Lu Yin’s guess was right, the jiao had been struck by the Lord of Lightning. The fact that it had survived such a powerhouse’s attack was proof of its strength in and of itself.

"How about that, Little Seven? Wasn’t I awesome?" Big Sis looked very proud of herself and seemed to be fis.h.i.+ng for compliments when she returned.

Lu Yin quickly flattered the woman and patted Big Sis’ head, which satisfied her perfectly.

On the other hand, Lu Yin struck while the iron was hot. "Big Sis, there’s going to be a difficult battle breaking out very soon."

Big Sis grew interested. "Who’s it going to be against this time?"

"Sovereign Shao Yin."

Big Sis' face fell. "Is that the b.a.s.t.a.r.d who instigated the Great Sovereign into banis.h.i.+ng the Lu family, tried to frame you as a spy, and even attacked you at the Tea Ceremony?"

Lu Yin nodded.

Big Sis looked irritated and intimidating. "You’re taking me with you."

Lu Yin felt a burst of warmth in his heart. "Don't worry, Big Sis, I’ll drag you along even if you don't want to go. I can't beat him."

Big Sis left.

Leng Qing and Arch-Elder Zen returned to Heavens Sect. Ultimately, only Chen Le and Lu Yin stood in s.p.a.ce.

"What do you want to say?" Lu Yin looked at Chen Le.

Chen Le respectfully said, "Dao Monarch Dao, what happened with Mr. Daheng?"

Lu Yin replied, "He captured the jiao and used it to threaten me into sending you back to the Liberation Palace."

Chen Le grew puzzled. "The Peaks and Rivers Rock is clearly in Monarch Luo's possession, so why is Mr. Daheng still focused on me?"

Lu Yin also found this quite odd. There was no reason for Mr. Daheng to care about Chen Le anymore. If the man simply wanted to discover who had removed the seal for Chen Le, which had allowed the man to break through to the Monarch realm, then all of that effort did not make sense. After all, anyone could see that Chen Le had received help from the Heavens Sect. Just why did Mr. Daheng still want Chen Le?

Lu Yin gave Chen Le a threatening glare. "Have you been hiding something from me?"

Chen Le was startled, and he quickly bowed. "Absolutely not. Dao Monarch, please rest a.s.sured! If anything has been hidden from the Dao Monarch, your servant is willing to die without a grave and will stay far away from you for the rest of my life."

Lu Yin frowned. This matter did not make any sense. What did Mr. Daheng want from Chen Le?

…

One day, news finally arrived from the Endless Frontier. The Great Sovereign, Ancestor Lu Yuan, the Voidlord, Mu Shen, and the other rulers of the Sixverse a.s.sociation’s member universes had attacked Aeternus. The a.s.sault caused several parallel universes to collapse. Countless cultivators from the Sixverse a.s.sociation fled, and even Progenitor-level powerhouses were forced to retreat.

This was a ma.s.sive battle between the Sixverse a.s.sociation and the most powerful members of Aeternus.

When Lu Yin received the news, he knew that it was time. He had expected it to take a bit more time and was surprised to receive the news so suddenly.

The Decaying Diablo Universe was not closely connected to the universes of the Endless Frontier where the battle was taking place, so Lu Yin did not need to worry about getting caught up in the overwhelming battle there.

He immediately contacted Big Sis. It was time to make their way to the Decaying Diablo Universe.

For this trip, Lu Yin led Big Sis, Leng Qing, Chen Le, and w.a.n.g Jian. The rest of the Heavens Sect’s powerhouses would stand guard in the Origin Universe.

w.a.n.g Jian was the w.a.n.g family’s only remaining Progenitor in the Origin Universe. He had never dreamed that he would be summoned by Lu Yin, but he was also unable to refuse.

w.a.n.g Jian received orders from the Lu family. Lu Tianyi himself had ordered the w.a.n.g family’s Progenitor to keep the young master of the Lu family safe.

w.a.n.g Jian could not believe that he had been reduced to a mere bodyguard, but in the face of the Lu family, he simply could not refuse.

However, just as the expedition was about to set off, w.a.n.g Jian was replaced by Arch-Elder Zen. There was no avoiding a major battle on the Endless Frontier, and Lu Yin did not really have any faith in w.a.n.g Jian's strength. On the other hand, Arch-Elder Zen was able to summon Progenitor Tianyi’s power if needed, which was a level of strength that w.a.n.g Jian could not compare to.

Chen Le was even more reluctant to partic.i.p.ate in the expedition than w.a.n.g Jian. They were entering the Endless Frontier. Only those who had been there before understood just how terrifying that battlefield was. However, Chen Le was also in no position to refuse his orders.

Once Big Sis arrived, Lu Yin stepped onto the jiao and spoke up, clearly in a good mood. "Let's go to the Cyclic Universe."

Countless people, both members of the Heavens Sect and outsiders, watched with envy and reverence. "Farewell, Dao Monarch."

"Farewell, Dao Monarch."

…

Tuo Lin's eyes showed his excitement. He had been waiting outside of the Heavens Sect for several months, and he still needed to wait a bit longer. He had no idea how long he would be forced to wait for, but this was his best opportunity. If he lost it, he would always remain an ordinary person.

No matter how long it took, he needed to be patient.

At the bottom of the Stairway to Heaven, He Ran looked up and let out a contemptuous snort. How long had she been in the Heavens Sect for? Could Lu Yin really have no consideration for her at all? Had she lost her charm?

Thoughts swirled through her mind as she leaned against the cauldron. A twig popped out, and leaves caressed the woman’s face.

He Ran glanced inside the cauldron. Sapling’s green leaves were glowing happily, and the sight of them greatly cheered her up. "I don't believe that he can endure.

"However, when this place was attacked, my presence here was exposed. Someone from the Sixverse a.s.sociation was here as well. Is it possible that the Transcendent Universe still hasn’t learned of my presence here? Won’t Lord Wei come save me?" He Ran murmured to herself.

Lu Yin’s journey could be regarded as the Heavens Sect’s first official foray onto the Sixverse a.s.sociation’s battlefield.

Aside from the Merchant Exchange and Lu Yin, no one was aware that the Heavens Sect was aiming for the Decaying Diablo Universe.

Even if Lu Yin had not made much of an effort to keep this matter concealed, it was still something that very few people knew of.

Lu Yin did not go directly to the Endless Frontier. Rather, he needed to first find a guide. Without one, it would be a long and difficult process to travel to the Decaying Diablo Universe from elsewhere on the Endless Frontier. They might even be forced to traverse the entire Endless Frontier.

In the Cyclic Universe, the roar of the jiao announced the Heavens Sect’s arrival.

Lu Yin stared off into the distance. Once again, he had come to this universe.

In the same manner as when she had visited the Arboreal Realm, Big Sis released her power across the Cyclic Universe in a brazen manner, putting pressure on the entire universe.

Many of the Cyclic Universe’s experts looked over in shock, and their expressions changed drastically.

The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had already been restored, but the guardian of the Heavenly Gate, Evergreen Sage, had died. He had been the first peak powerhouse to die during the attack on the Tea Ceremony.

The jiao immediately moved towards the Wall of Purity.

That wall was the Cyclic Universe’s battlefield. Lu Yin had visited the place once before, sent there to witness Sage Hua perform the Lament of the Sages. It had been a shocking sight for Lu Yin.

The Great Sovereign was capable of granting the Three Sovereigns and Nine Sages the power level of a peak powerhouse, but she was also able to withdraw that power at any time.

The reason why Sovereign Shao Yin was in the Decaying Diablo Universe was precisely because the Great Sovereign had stripped the Sovereign of his power, and he needed to recultivate back to his full strength.

While the man was still technically a sequence powerhouse due to his years of cultivating and training, he had lost his cultivation as a peak powerhouse, which should have drastically reduced Shao Yin’s ability to wield the laws of the universe.

Part of Lu Yin’s goal in visiting the Decaying Diablo Universe was to see just how powerful the Three Sovereigns and Nine Sages were without the strength boost of the Great Sovereign. This would give Lu Yin a better understanding of the Cyclic Universe’s strength.

The jiao raced across the Cyclic Universe, brazenly revealing its power as it charged towards the Wall of Purity.

As they pa.s.sed, countless cultivators in the Cyclic Universe were stunned.

No one had ever dared to act so arrogantly in the Cyclic Universe before. The brazen demonstration of power oppressed many people. With Lu Yin's tacit consent, the jiao started to roar and brandish its fangs and claws. The beast felt that it had regained a bit of the dignity it had lost.

In one corner of the Cyclic Universe, Sage Yajna’s eyes opened. "Will the Origin Universe’s former glory reappear?"

The entire Cyclic Universe seemed to be trembling beneath the roars of the jiao and the suppression of Progenitor Yōu Ming’s flagrant display of power. Lu Yin was boldly declaring the Heavens Sect’s power.

At the Wall of Purity, Arrow Sage solemnly turned to look back. What was happening?

A short distance away, Bai Sheng, Xia Qin, and Specter Progenitor were also present. They glanced at each other, each having a bad premonition.

Soon, the enormous form of the jiao appeared, accompanied by a blast of wind that sent many of the Cyclic Universe’s cultivators sprawling.

Despite their anger and irritation, no one dared to say a word. People were shocked by the sight of the huge jiao.

This was the first time that the jiao had publicly revealed its full size to the Sixverse a.s.sociation. Its ma.s.sive body was incredibly intimidating, and as long as it did not reveal its stupidity, the jiao was terrifying.

Chu Jian was also at the Wall of Purity, and he stared at the jiao from a distance. The Junior Sovereign had changed. He had lost most of his former arrogance and grown much calmer.

He no longer pursued perfection, let alone his supposed invincibility. He was determined to climb up from the bottom, step by step, higher and higher. Then, one day, he would challenge that person again.

Lu Yin and his party were sitting on the back of the jiao, and they looked down at the battlefield of the Wall of Purity.

The Wall of Purity was an actual wall. It was where the mainland of the Cyclic Universe had been rolled up to form a barrier that kept the Aeternals out.

From atop the jiao, Lu Yin and the others were able to observe the entire battlefield of the Wall of Purity, and naturally, this included Bai Sheng and the other Progenitors.

Lu Yin grinned. "An unexpected prize."

The four ruling powers had been dismantled. There was no longer any need for these Progenitors to help defend the Sixverse a.s.sociation, especially Specter Progenitor, who had already been revealed as w.a.n.g Fan’s clone. Why had w.a.n.g Fan not collected his clone?

Arrow Sage took a step forward, appearing in front of the jiao. He spoke in a very polite manner. "Dao Monarch, I wonder, why have you come to the Wall of Purity?"

Before Lu Yin could speak, the jiao opened its mouth and roared.

Arrow Sage frowned. As one of the Nine Sages, no one in the entire Sixverse a.s.sociation had ever been so rude to him. Even the rulers of the member universes would not treat him so disgracefully. After all, Arrow Sage was a truly powerful individual.

Unfortunately, no matter how irritated the man might be, he could say nothing to Lu Yin.

During the attack on the Tea Ceremony, Lu Yin had destroyed the Seven SkyG.o.ds’ goal. Arrow Sage had no confidence in defeating Lu Yin after Chu Jian’s defeat. On top of that, Lu Yin had since broken through to the Semi-Progenitor realm, and the four inner worlds that he had obtained were all completely incomprehensible. This child was even capable of fighting against Sovereign Shao Yin.

Arrow Sage had also heard about how the Liberation Palace had been attacked and humiliated by the Heavens Sect. It was becoming clear that Lu Yin was not nearly as humble as he had first appeared.

"Find me a guide to the Orchid Forest Universe," Lu Yin ordered indifferently.

Arrow Sage grew confused. "Dao Monarch Lu, are you heading to the Endless Frontier?"

"That’s why I’m here." Lu Yin did not provide much of an explanation. He then looked past Arrow Sage at Bai Sheng, Xia Qin, and Specter Progenitor. "You three, come here."

Bai Sheng and the other two Progenitors glanced at each other. Then, without any hesitation at all, they turned and moved away from the Wall of Purity.

Was this a joke? Was Lu Yin here to clean house?

Lu Yin's eyes flared, and just as he was about to ask Big Sis to take action, Arrow Sage hurriedly spoke up. "Dao Monarch Lu, this is the Wall of Purity, one of the warfronts against Aeternus. All eyes are on this."

There were too many people fighting against Aeternus along the Wall of Purity. There was no universe that was not represented on this battlefield, as there was never a shortage of people willing to sacrifice their lives in defense of mankind.

Such people were pa.s.sionate, fearless, and willing to die for humanity. They deserved everyone’s respect.

Lu Yin might not care about Arrow Sage, the Cyclic Universe, or even the Great Sovereign. However, he could not dismiss the people fighting at the warfront.

These people knew that they would most likely not survive their time on the battlefield, but they had still volunteered to fight here. They did not fear death, and they knew that their sacrifices were necessary.

Who did not have brothers and sisters, or parents and family? Every death hurt a family, and such pain deserved to be remembered.
