Star Odyssey Chapter 3131: Strike

Chapter 3131: Strike

This particular demand sparked outrage in countless individuals throughout the Fifth Mainland, and many even set off for the Sixverse a.s.sociation to find the people responsible for making the demand.

There were even people from the Sixverse a.s.sociation who found this demand to be too much.

The situation was growing increasingly dire, and the conflict even escalated to the point where some cultivators from the other parts of the Sixverse a.s.sociation clashed violently against people from the Fifth Mainland.

As that happened, figures arrived outside of the Heavens Sect, bringing with them an oppressive pressure.

The cultivators who had surrounded the Heavens Sect were slaughtered. Inside the Heavens Sect, Lu Yin looked out. They had finally arrived.

Dark-red divine energy erupted as the figures charged at the Heavens Sect. It was a horde of frenzied corpses.

Behind the monsters were three individuals, who also made their way towards the Heavens Sect. “Destroy this place completely!”

A red light danced through the sky like a ribbon as Ji Luo slashed his sword at the Heavens Sect. The strike sliced between the frenzied corpses as though the man was trying to split the sect itself in half.

Both the jiao and Ancestor Tortoise had already retreated. While they appeared to be dumb beasts, their instincts were sharp enough to know that they could not stand up to Ji Luo.

Ji Luo stepped forward, instantly disappearing before suddenly reappearing during a violent retreat. A short dagger closed in on the swordsman, wielded by a person who was barely a meter tall. It was The Abandoned.

Previously, only the Scourge Occupation had gone to support the Nine-Star Civilization while Lu Yin had attacked the Second Scourge with Ye Wu. As for The Abandoned, he had done nothing, and the cosmic door leading to his universe had stayed in a cosmic ring, untouched.

Lu Yin had contacted The Abandoned before Aeternus launched their attack on the Heavens Sect, and the man had been ready to provide aid at any moment.

The time had come.

Ji Luo was fast, and his sword was astoundingly powerful and more than capable of breaking through almost any defense. However, The Abandoned was even more unpredictable; even Lu Yin could not evade The Abandoned’s dagger by moving at the speed of time. There was no doubt that The Abandoned was every bit Ji Luo’s equal.

A beam pierced a great distance, aimed at The Abandoned, but before it could arrive, Big Sis shattered it. She glared at a distant location. “Shao Yin, it’s you again!”

Shao Yin’s eyes twitched. Something was off. It was not just Big Sis’ att.i.tude that tipped the man off, but also the fact that there was an expert capable of stopping Ji Luo who was not a known member of the Heavens Sect. Clearly, the Origin Universe had made preparations.

From behind the former Sovereign, Di Qiong stepped forward. “It would appear that the Heavens Sect has made preparations. This battle is not favorable to us.”

Despite the man’s words, the Aeternals had already paid a terrible price for this opportunity to attack the Heavens Sect. Hundreds of their spies had been sacrificed, and they could not afford to retreat just because The Abandoned was helping the Heavens Sect.

Di Qiong raised a hand, and a long spear appeared in his grip. He thrust the weapon towards the Heavens Sect, wanting to see who in the sect was capable of stopping him.

At the same time, Ancient G.o.d and Forgotten Ruins G.o.d descended upon the Perennial World, appearing near the Lu Sanctum. Their mission was to prevent Ancestor Lu Yuan and Lu Tianyi from providing the Heavens Sect with any a.s.sistance.

The Sixverse a.s.sociation quickly received word that the Heavens Sect was being attacked by Aeternus. Mu Shen was startled, but regardless, all of humanity needed to work together to eliminate Aeternus. That was something that would never change.

Just as the man was about to head to the Origin Universe, a crimson haired figure appeared before him: Arrow G.o.d.

In a similar fas.h.i.+on, a figure appeared in front of Mu Ke in another part of the Arboreal Realm. Mu Ke was stopped by the Magician, who was one of Aeternus’s few experts strong enough to partic.i.p.ate in the Divine Selection.

In the Voidforce Universe, Lord Xu fought against Blackless G.o.d, while Xu Wuwei faced Lan Lan.

This was the result of the Divine Commandment. All of Aeternus’s strength was being brought to bear against humanity in a united a.s.sault. The Aeternals were not necessarily aiming for a crus.h.i.+ng victory, and they were simply working towards specific objectives.

From the Aeternals’ perspective, the Heavens Sect had no experts who were capable of standing up to Di Qiong or Ji Luo. These two had been sent to deliver a death blow to the Heavens Sect’s.

In the Cyclic Universe, Sovereign Lotus was being watched and was thus unable to help the Heavens Sect. The Great Sovereign remained in seclusion, ignoring all that happened in the outside world.

Whitecloud City was still trying to deal with the Ancient Lightning Locust.

The Five Spirits Alliance and the Luna Alliance were also being attacked by frenzied corpses at this moment.

While the First Scourge had run out of frenzied corpses, the other Scourges still had enough to keep the two alliances occupied.

The Heavens Sect had lost all external support and could only rely on their own peak powerhouses.

Could any of them stop Di Qiong?

This was Aeternus’s plan.

Lu Yin stepped out from the Heavens Sect; it was time. The goal of this battle was not to achieve some great victory, but simply to stop Aeternus’s current scheme and protect the Heavens Sect. The Aeternals had incurred significant losses even before launching this attack.

Their efforts to isolate the Heavens Sect had been costly, even for Aeternus. It was enough.

If the Heavens Sect could also eliminate one or two of the Aeternals’ top experts during this battle, it would be perfect.

Lu Yin's strength had greatly improved, but he had not allowed himself to become arrogant. He knew how difficult it was to kill an expert at the level of the Seven SkyG.o.ds. After all, they had already done so.

Di Qiong fell upon the Heavens Sect, where he was surrounded by Qing Ping, Mu Xie, Shao Chen, and Arch-Elder Zen. Further below, Cloudflow, Xia Shenji, w.a.n.g Jian, and Bai Sheng stood ready as well. All eight of the Heavens Sect’s peak powerhouses were present for this battle.

Glancing at the people surrounding him, Di Qiong sneered. “Insects.”

With that, his spear shot towards Qing Ping. During the fight in Aeternus Nation, Qing Ping’s Judgment had left a deep impression on Di Qiong. While Qing Ping had not been able to harm Di Qiong, the man used the laws of the universe to judge other laws of the universe. He followed a dangerous path.

A śarīra appeared in front of the Progenitor as Mu Xie pushed his Progenitor’s world towards Di Qiong, only for the spear to easily pierce through and shatter the śarīra.

A stream of cloud-like energy rose up from below to form a barrier: Thousand Streams Shatter the Dao.

Di Qiong did not even look at the barrier, and he simply allowed Cloudflow’s attack to strike him while he focused on his spear continuing towards Qing Ping.

Cloudflow was startled. This man was simply too strong, and the gap between them was too vast. Despite both of them being peak powerhouses, the disparity was unbelievable.

Against Di Qiong, the Heavens Sect’s peak powerhouses were truly like insects.

Xia Shenji gritted his teeth. He did not want to fight this monster, but there was no place to hide. He joined w.a.n.g Jian and Bai Sheng, and all three men leaped towards Di Qiong.

A sword and staff were both shattered by a swipe of Di Qiong’s spear. The man’s terrifying power allowed him to suppress everyone with a single attack. “You want to court death? I’ll grant your wis.h.!.+”

Di Qiong’s spear fell again, this time targeting Xia Shenji and several others, including both Cloudflow and Mu Xie.

None of them could withstand this attack.

At that moment, Lu Yin emerged from the Heavens Sect using Inverse Step. He moved at the speed of time to appear right behind Di Qiong with a clenched fist. Instantly, Infinity was released, and the lines of strength collided to produce explosive power as Lu Yin’s arm withered. The moment that Infinity reached the limit of what Lu Yin’s body could endure, his fist shot out.

Boom!

A terrifying punch struck Di Qiong’s back, forcing him to bend over. The power of Extremes Must Be Reversed that was released with the attack sent Di Qiong’s body flying forward. Lu Yin had felt Di Qiong’s bones crack beneath his unprecedented punch. Even Feng Bo had not been able to withstand this attack.

Di Qiong was stunned, and he was unable to straighten his body as he was blasted away by an unfathomable power. He could not understand how a human could release such a powerful attack. Just who had done so?

He wanted to turn around, but the terrifying power of the attack forced Di Qiong to continue flying forwards. If he forced himself to turn around, it would only exacerbate his injuries.

Lu Yin used Inverse Step again, and by moving at the speed of time, he caught up to Di Qiong. Lu Yin would not give the man a single moment’s respite.

Another punch fell, but this time, it was stopped. Pages from a book surrounded Di Qiong, and one of them showed an image of Lu Yin’s punch.

Lu Yin noticed the page and frowned. He had forgotten about Di Qiong’s ability.

Di Qiong also saw what was displayed on the page, and his expression changed drastically. “Lu Yin?!”

Lu Yin’s punch changed to a palm strike as he resumed his attack on Di Qiong.

Di Qiong was finally able to regain his composure. He sensed the approaching palm strike and turned around to thrust his spear at Lu Yin's hand. Lu Yin s.h.i.+fted his hand to the side so that it slid along the spear’s shaft to attack Di Qiong, and Lu Yin’s body followed the same movement as his hand. Di Qiong's eyes suddenly changed as he used the Pupilless Transformation.

Lu Yin's palm slammed into Di Qiong's, and the impact resulted in a terrifying shockwave that ripped through the void and opened up a ma.s.sive region of the Hollow.

Both men were forced back by the impact. Lu Yin was forced to retreat by Di Qiong's palm, while Di Qiong was pushed away by the unexpected power of Lu Yin's palm strike. The man was stunned to discover that the young man had gained enough strength to rival Di Qiong himself. How was that even possible?

Di Qiong refused to give Lu Yin even a moment to recover, and he stepped forward with his spear aimed at Lu Yin. This attack appeared to be easy to avoid, and yet it triggered Lu Yin's instincts. He retreated continuously as Di Qiong sneered. "I didn't expect you to survive, but it doesn't matter. I'll kill you here and now."

The spear relentlessly pursued with its razor-sharp tip.

Lu Yin raced away with Inverse Step, moving to Di Qiong's side at the speed of time while aiming a finger at the man’s head. This attack carried the power of both Infinity and Extremes Must Be Reversed, though only Lu Yin’s finger withered.

Di Qiong's ability prevented his opponents from using the same attack twice, which meant that Lu Yin could no longer employ punches or palms. This was his third attack.

However, this strike was also ineffective. This was not because of Di Qiong’s pages, but rather because of his sequence particles.

Without Heaven’s Sight, Lu Yin was unable to see sequence particles, and for this reason, the attack aimed at Di Qiong's head inexplicably appeared beneath the man. At the same time, Inverse Step failed, as Lu Yin was unable to use the technique in the presence of so many sequence particles. Di Qiong gripped his spear tightly and thrust it at Lu Yin's face. Lu Yin unleashed his inner universe and repelled the Origin Universe. He was isolated by a sh.e.l.l of the Hollow, but the spear pierced through both that thin barrier and Lu Yin’s universe, aiming for his chest.

At that moment, the landma.s.s from Lu Yin's universe slammed into the spear.

There was a ringing impact, and Di Qiong was forced back. His spear even shattered. He stared at the landma.s.s that had appeared in shock. How was this possible?

This was the same landma.s.s that Lu Yin had used to suppress Feng Bo. Even when Lu Yin had not released the Wordless Heavenly Book to bestow the continent of fatesand with vitality, it had still nearly killed Feng Bo. Lu Yin was using this collision to test Di Qiong's power.

Di Qiong's physical strength was no less than Feng Bo's. While the landma.s.s had nearly killed Feng Bo, it was not nearly as effective against Di Qiong.

Lu Yin regretted his failure, though Di Qiong's astonishment could not even be measured.

How had the young man’s strength risen so far so fast? How was he matching Di Qiong? It should be impossible! After all, Lu Yin was still only a Semi-Progenitor.

The landma.s.s continued to close in on Di Qiong. While it lacked the strength to kill the man, it was more than enough to keep him under pressure.

Di Qiong's eyes flared, and more pages appeared all around him. At that moment, the landma.s.s froze. One of the pages showed the image of the landma.s.s colliding with Di Qiong.

The same attack could never be used twice against Di Qiong. No matter what power Lu Yin employed, that fact would never change.
