Star Odyssey Chapter 3055: An Unexpected Place

Chapter 3055: An Unexpected Place

As Forgotten Ruins G.o.d looked in his direction, Lu Yin's expression changed. She had found him.

Bu Wu and the others looked over as well, but they saw nothing.

"The best part of your big sister's performance isn't so easy to see," Forgotten Ruins G.o.d said as a cold light flickered across her eyes. With a casual wave of her hand, eight wolf heads fell.

Bu Wu's face grew pale, and he shouted, "Stop!"

The SkyG.o.d was unphased, and she did not even glance at the mechas as she made her way towards Lu Yin.

Booooom!

The sky shattered with a loud sound as the wolf heads covered all of the Infinity Empire’s forces. Bu Wu’s mecha raised its right arm and attacked the nearest wolf head. Ge Shan, Liu Ling, Fei Yan, Shang Tianzong, and Jiang Dongjian all piloted ten-ring mechas, and they attacked the wolf heads as well. Still, they were unable to stop all the wolf heads, and some of them crashed down.

The empire’s forces suffered heavy losses.

At the same time, the jiao regained its full size and shot towards the mechas.

Fei Yan exclaimed in shock, "Commander, that’s the creature!"

Bu Wu shattered another wolf head as he turned and saw the jiao approaching. On its back, Lu Yin’s expression was solemn. He had no idea just how badly Forgotten Ruins G.o.d had been wounded during the battle the Great Sovereign had start, but regardless, Forgotten Ruins G.o.d was not someone whom Lu Yin could handle on his own.

He was quite aware of the strength of the Seven SkyG.o.ds. Aeternus had betrayed Undying G.o.d and had also shared Forgotten Ruins G.o.d’s location. Undying G.o.d had been ambushed and killed, but Forgotten Ruins G.o.d had managed to escape. Lu Yin was certain that the woman was just as cunning as she was strong.

Forgotten Ruins spread out crazily, making it look like a new sky had appeared above the Sixth Mainland.

"Little Lu Yin, weren't you looking for your big sister? I’m right here! Why are you running away?" Forgotten Ruins G.o.d's was moving closer.

Lu Yin looked back and asked, "w.a.n.g Miaomiao, aren't you afraid that I’ll bring more people over to capture or kill you?"

"Heh, you can try. If you fail, the consequences will be severe," Forgotten Ruins G.o.d retorted. Her smile faded as she pointed to her Forgotten Ruins. They shattered, and debris went flying in all directions.

The jiao was struck, and it wailed. For a moment, it looked quite confused. It had forgotten absolutely everything.

Lu Yin kicked the jiao away and fled by himself. He could not rely on the stupid creature. It would quickly forget about everything as soon as the Forgotten Ruins touched it. It had even forgotten how to shrink its body.

Just like the jiao, some of the Forgotten Ruins’ fragments pelted the Infinity Empire’s mechas. Even though Fortress’s protective s.h.i.+eld remained intact, the mecha itself was knocked down.

With even Bu Wu’s mecha suffering, the others fared much worse.

When Forgotten Ruins G.o.d took action, the Infinity Empire had no way to resist.

There were no limits to human cultivation, and such power could not be overcome by things as simple as tools or weapons. Even if it was possible to temporarily bridge the gap or even surpa.s.s it, ultimately, such things could not compete with the potential of human cultivation.

The Forgotten Ruins alone made it impossible for the mechas to even attack, and they were left at the mercy of the bombardment.

Fei Yan's mind went blank as a wolf head crashed down and bit into Blue Mountain once more. There was a clang, and the mecha shattered, utterly annihilating Fei Yan. Right before he died, he realized that the empire might have provoked an unimaginable civilization.

This was a civilization that made the Infinity Empire’s mechas look pathetic.

One by one, all the mechas were crushed, and they were immediately followed by the destruction of the battles.h.i.+ps. It did not even matter if the vessels managed to block the attack. Even if the debris of the shattered Forgotten Ruins was blocked, the people within the battles.h.i.+ps or mechas would forget to defend against the next attack the moment any of the debris made contact with them. Survival depended solely on luck.

Shang An’an’s Angel was nearly smashed to pieces, while Ge Shan's Sky Piercer was the unluckiest; two wolf heads bit into the mecha and reduced it to shrapnel. The Infinity Empire’s forces crumbled on contact.

Only Bu Wu's mecha remained intact, as it was the only twelve-ring mecha. While it was incapable of defeating Forgotten Ruins G.o.d, it would not be easily destroyed by her Sky-Devouring Nine Wolves or Forgotten Ruins.

Bu Wu watched everything that happened. A single person had completely crushed an entire army of the Infinity Empire.

Thirteen rings. This was the power of a civilization that possessed thirteen rings of power. Each time the Infinity Empire encountered an opportunity to improve their strength, it was accompanied by terrible danger. Bu Wu already knew this, but he had still underestimated the potential danger.

Lu Yin continued to dodge the debris of the Forgotten Ruins with Inverse Step. If even a single bit of rubble touched him, everything would be over. Forgotten Ruins G.o.d was looking for that single moment.

She sneered at him. "How long do you think you can escape for?"

Lu Yin turned around again to look at the woman. "Do you really think that you can kill me?"

"I can certainly try. After all, you also can't kill me."

"We have already dealt with Shaman G.o.d and Undying G.o.d."

"Oh, honestly, I've been ready to die for a very long time."

Lu Yin felt helpless. While finding one of the Seven SkyG.o.ds was certainly a good thing, much more needed to fall into place before the encounter became an opportunity to deal with an enemy powerhouse. At the moment, the Heavens Sect’s elders were injured, which made it impossible for them to deal with Forgotten Ruins G.o.d. She was more than capable of escaping. Should Lu Yin contact the Sixverse a.s.sociation? It was already too late for that. Besides, Forgotten Ruins G.o.d was no fool, and she was more cunning than anyone else.

The longer she remained and fought against Lu Yin, the more problematic things became.

Trying to deal with Forgotten Ruins G.o.d would inevitably exact a steep price, and Lu Yin did not want the Heavens Sect to pay it. Thus, the Infinity Empire needed to take the brunt of things.

Wolf heads converged upon Lu Yin from every direction as he moved about with Inverse Step. He suddenly started to move at the speed of time.

At that instant, everything froze. He easily moved past the wolf heads and appeared directly above Bu Wu.

When he stopped using Inverse Step, both Forgotten Ruins G.o.d and Bu Wu stared at him in disbelief.

"Little Lu Yin, you really keep surprising people! You've even started to use the power of time," Forgotten Ruins G.o.d said with admiration.

Worry flickered through Bu Wu’s eyes. The people of this universe had even touched upon the power of time, which was something that the Infinity Empire had desperately tried to accomplish themselves, but had failed. He needed to bring this information back to the empire. They could not afford to leave any of their forces in this universe.

Lu Yin looked down and met Bu Wu’s gaze. "We finally meet."

Bu Wu’s expression turned grave. "Are you the one who’s controlling the creature that captured Little Qing and the others?"

Shang An’an, Jiang Dongjian, and the others were watching from far away. They had been lucky enough to not die from the Sky-Devouring Nine Wolves or the shattered Forgotten Ruins, but their mechas were barely functioning at this moment.

Lu Yin let out a breath. "I don’t know if your Infinity Empire can stand up to this woman. If you can’t, that’s just your bad luck."

He then turned and moved towards the Astral Beast Domain.

Bu Wu’s expression changed dramatically, and he immediately realized the danger. The young man was leading the woman towards the Infinity Empire!

Forgotten Ruins G.o.d also understood the implication in Lu Yin’s comment. "Little Lu Yin, do you think that you can escape?"

She chased after him.

Bu Wu had his mecha leap after the two humans. He could not expose his empire to this universe. This place defied any known threat level. If things were not handled properly, the Infinity Empire would face an absolute catastrophe.

The mecha rushed into the Astral Beast Domain from the Sixth Mainland, and Bu Wu immediately contacted the empire’s forces. "Activate the Nightmare Protocol! I repeat, activate the Nightmare Protocol."

In a distant location in s.p.a.ce, Hong Nian received Bu Wu’s order. The minister’s expression changed drastically, but he did not hesitate at all. "Activate the Nightmare Protocol now!"

Only once before in the history of the Infinity Empire had the Nightmare Protocol ever been enacted. The previous time, a formidable enemy had managed to invade the Infinity Empire, and the reigning emperor had been killed. The imperial family had almost been wiped out. Fortunately, the Nightmare Protocol had allowed the empire to just barely escape total disaster. That catastrophe had set the empire’s strength back 10,000 years.

Hong Nian had never imagined that the current universe would be home to so many experts, or that the Nightmare Protocol would be activated so quickly. Once the danger pa.s.sed, if the situation was a.s.sessed as not critical enough to warrant the Nightmare Protocol, Bu Wu would be held accountable.

Given Bu Wu's cautious nature, there was little doubt that the protocol was necessary.

Lu Yin moved across the Astral Beast Domain, making his way towards the spatial rift. At almost the same time that Hong Nian ordered the Nightmare Protocol be carried out, Lu Yin arrived, and he shot through the spatial rift. The Infinity Empire was not given any time to escape.

The very next moment, Forgotten Ruins G.o.d also arrived at the spatial rift. Her eyes darted about, and then she vanished. She knew that she was going into a trap, so why go? She was no fool.

Lu Yin was certainly clever, and Forgotten Ruins G.o.d understood that he had purposely said those words to lure her into the Astral Beast Domain. Pa.s.sing through the spatial rift would mean fighting against the civilization with the mechas, while not pa.s.sing through would mean certain defeat at the hands of the Heavens Sect. Lu Yin was quite cunning, but Forgotten Ruins G.o.d decided that she had messed around enough for the day.

Her appearance placed tremendous pressure on the Astral Beast Domain. Her aura alone suppressed everyone, including the astral beasts. Everyone found themselves struggling to breathe.

Hong Nian despaired. He had not expected Forgotten Ruins G.o.d to suddenly vanish. He quickly shouted, "Has the Nightmare Protocol been enacted yet?"

"Yes, sir! It’s already been activated."

Hong Nian felt helpless. If he had known that the formidable enemy would simply leave, they could have delayed the protocol. However, that was not something that he could have decided. Bu Wu had made the call.

Hong Nian looked towards the spatial rift. What of the person who had just rushed through?

At this time, after pa.s.sing through the spatial rift, Lu Yin found himself not looking at the Infinity Empire's ma.s.sive battles.h.i.+p, but rather at G.o.d’s Domain.

He was stunned. How had he ended up in G.o.d’s Domain?

Just arriving in that universe was one thing, but as Lu Yin looked around, he saw that G.o.d’s Domain was trembling. Spatial tears filled the sky and covered the ground. Even from the distance, Lu Yin could see a terrible battle being fought.

Three immense elephants stood between heaven and earth, crus.h.i.+ng the land of G.o.d’s Domain. Golden palms fell down like rain, attacking a figure who wielded a long spear. This individual pierced through the palms as they moved straight towards the elephants. The sky was filled with blood that rained down on the ground below.

Lu Yin turned around, only to see that the spatial rift he had pa.s.sed through had already disappeared. Something was wrong, and it was clear that the Infinity Empire was behind whatever had happened.

He had no time to consider the matter any further. Lu Yin summoned the Seven-Star Mantis and moved forward. If he was right, the figure who was attacking was Di Qiong, one of Aeternus's Six Skies.

Lu Yin knew that, on his own, he was no match for Di Qiong. However, there was no choice but to fight. Lu Yin could not just ignore the destruction of G.o.d’s Domain and escape on his own.

If G.o.d’s Domain had the means to restrain Di Qiong, he would not have been able to move so deep within the continent. However, how had Di Qiong invaded G.o.d’s Domain again so quickly? Had his previous failures merely been a ruse?

Lu Yin could not defeat Di Qiong. If things became desperate, Lu Yin would take the Divine Maiden to the Heavens Sect, where they could surround Di Qiong and attack him with reinforcements.

Forgotten Ruins G.o.d most likely had left the Fifth Mainland.

Boom!

A thunderous roar tore the ground apart, and blood sprayed into the sky. The Divine Maiden’s face was pale, and her veil had disappeared long ago. Beneath her, the enormous All-Dao Elephant swung its trunk. It swept past the nearby Virtue-Erasing Reincarnation Elephant and slammed right into Di Qiong.

The invader’s spear stabbed into the Great Sage Elephant as the All-Dao Elephant’s trunk whipped about. The Great Sage Elephant roared at the sky as the sequence particles that surrounded it slammed down, restricting Di Qiong’s movements.
