Star Odyssey Chapter 2915: Enemy Attack

Chapter 2915: Enemy Attack

Lu Yin was also keeping an eye on the True G.o.d Guard Captains.

Although these captains were not sequence powerhouses, their innate gifts were all unique. As soon as any of them broke through and became a sequence powerhouse, they would become incredibly difficult to deal with.

Divine energy roiled and filled Giant’s Purgatory, adding an even deeper feeling of cruelty to the universe. The divine energy’s dark-red color twined with the red of the spilled blood as the vicious battlefield expanded.

The super giants roared as they fought.

Lu Yin stared off into the distance. There was a pair of eyes staring back at him, and at that moment, they changed from scarlet to red. It was Zhong Pan.

Blackless G.o.d had already warned Zhong Pan to perform a Corpse King Transformation as soon as he encountered Lu Yin; otherwise, the corpse king might die. As soon as Zhong Pan saw Lu Yin, the monster’s eyes turned red, and his physical might reached a level where the void twisted and shattered around him.

A flash of darkness fell as Zhong Pan tore through the void, charging at Lu Yin with a punch.

Lu Yin casually flicked a hand, and Infinity appeared. Lines of light merged into Lu Yin’s body, and at the same time, Wielder-realm battle force appeared and shrouded his body while the Immovable Heavenly King Elephant let out a roar. Lu Yin’s arms withered. "Come on!"

Boom!

The void rose and fell rhythmically before it shattered entirely.

Countless black shards scattered in all directions. They were bits of the Hollow.

Lu Yin fell back, his entire arm feeling a bit numb.

After having undergone a Red Eyes Transformation, Zhong Pan’s strength had reached a level that left Lu Yin feeling as helpless as when he had first faced off against the corpse king. He was unable to match up to even one of Zhong Pan’s punches.

Zhong Pan moved closer to Lu Yin, crus.h.i.+ng the void with every step.

In Lu Yin's heart, the gray star moved, and 100 punches were confined.

There was a bang, but Lu Yin was still pushed back. Even if he was not forced back as far as before, he was still being pushed back without even shaking Zhong Pan’s body.

With Lu Yin’s full strength, he was capable of fighting against Zhong Pan after a Green Eyes Transformation, but he was no match for Zhong Pan after a Red Eyes Transformation.

However, that was only when it came to physical power.

Seeing Zhong Pan’s third punch approaching him, Lu Yin took a deep breath and used Inverse Step to move past the corpse king. Within the chaotic region of time and s.p.a.ce, Zhong Pan’s punch missed, and Lu Yin seized the opportunity to raise his slipper.

Zhong Pan was forced to dodge the slipper, but Lightstream appeared and reversed time by a second.

This happened twice, and then Lu Yin successfully slapped the slipper onto Zhong Pan’s back, which sent the corpse king flying and blood spraying.

Lu Yin moved forward, chasing after Zhong Pan. Rage filled the corpse king’s eyes, and dark-red divine energy boiled out of his body, shrouding his body like steam. Not only did the bleeding wounds recover, but Zhong Pan’s aura also surged wildly.

Lu Yin slapped Zhong Pan again with the slipper, but this time, his attack was blocked by divine energy. The corpse king grabbed Lu Yin's arm and squeezed hard. It was extremely painful, and Lightstream flickered, reversing time by one second. With that extra second, Lu Yin altered his attack. Instead of swinging the slipper at Zhong Pan, Lu Yin stopped the attack and stepped back.

He did not attack at all, so Zhong Pan failed to counter Lu Yin’s attack.

The two stood across from each other.

Seeing the roiling divine energy that covered Zhong Pan's body, Lu Yin's eyes flickered, and he glanced around. Everywhere he looked, vicious battles were breaking out. The jiao had already moved most of the second battalion away. Trying to have them join the fights that were happening in Giant’s Purgatory would be nothing less than sending them all to their deaths.

The army’s greatest use was in their numbers and searching for the hidden SkyG.o.ds in the various parallel universes. With the appearance of Corpse G.o.d, Lu Yin did not want any of the other Seven SkyG.o.ds to show up, as that would be a huge issue.

Should he ask Ancestor Tianyi to partic.i.p.ate as well?

The battle between Sovereign Dou Sheng and Corpse G.o.d was shattering the universe, but Lu Yin had no time to watch it. His battle was with Zhong Pan. The corpse king used his divine energy like an invincible armor. Regardless of whether he faced sequence particles or the slipper, this armor would protect Zhong Pan. This was what gave the True G.o.d Guard Captains the confidence to fight against anyone.

However, while Zhong Pan had his confidence to face sequence powerhouses, so too did Lu Yin.

With his divine energy, Zhong Pan completely ignored Lu Yin's slipper, and he instead intended to use his increased strength from his Red Eyes Transformation to crush Lu Yin.

Lu Yin held the slipper high in one hand as he shot forward, as though racing to his own death.

The slipper rose high and slammed down.

Zhong Pan did not try to dodge or evade. Instead, he clenched a fist with one hand, while opening the other like claws that grasped at Lu Yin. In another moment, it looked as if Zhong Pan would completely shred Lu Yin to pieces.

The two were moving closer and closer to each other. Like stars about to collide, the impact could happen at any moment.

Lu Yin released his universe from within his chest, and the sh.e.l.l of the Hollow appeared around it. Zhong Pan’s expression remained unchanged as his claws shot through the Hollow to grab Lu Yin.

Not even the Hollow could instantly cut off divine energy. It was True G.o.d Wei Yi’s power, and the Hollow was not omnipotent. Even Luo Shan was able to safely leave the Hollow, and with his armor of divine energy, Zhong Pan could ignore not only Lu Yin’s slipper, but also endure the Hollow.

However, the entire foundation of Zhong Pan’s confidence was his divine energy. What would happen if he had no divine energy?

It was not something that anyone had ever considered. It was not merely Zhong Pan who had not thought of it, but also the Aeternals and even the Sixverse a.s.sociation and the Origin Universe. No one in any of those places had ever considered such a thing, aside from Lu Yin.

The moment that Zhong Pan's clawed hand pierced into Lu Yin’s universe that had 380,000 stars revolving about it, in Lu Yin’s perception, the corpse king’s movements slowed down to a crawl. It was identical to when Lu Yin had first used the Cosmic Art against his peers.

Within the 380,000 stars, there was one colored dark red that was so inconspicuous that no one would pay any attention to it.

However, it was exactly that dark-red star that erupted with what looked like a whirlpool of divine energy that shot out and attached to Zhong Pan's arm.

For the first time ever, the corpse king’s expression changed. Such a creature was supposed to be devoid of all emotions, and their expressions would not change even as they died, especially one that qualified to be a True G.o.d Guard Captain. However, Zhong Pan’s expression became one of absolute confusion at this moment. Where had his divine energy gone? Had it already been consumed?

Everything happened too fast. For Zhong Pan, he had merely thrown a punch, and was thus unable to clearly discern what had happened. However, from Lu Yin’s perspective, a long time had pa.s.sed, and he had been given plenty of opportunity to absorb Zong Pan’s divine energy from his arm.

Time was a relative thing. Some people might experience a brief bit of time, while others would experience a long period. It seemed like a paradox, and yet it was reality.

For example, Zhong Pan and Lu Yin had not experienced the same pa.s.sage of time.

With the divine energy gone, Zhong Pan's arm broke and flew away. Lu Yin slammed the slipper onto Zhong Pan's head. There was a snap, and the corpse king’s head twisted before his body was smashed into the distance.

He still was not dead, and Lu Yin was already aware of just how terrifying the monster was.

He moved forward, using Inverse Step to chase after Zhong Pan. Lu Yin needed to use this chance to kill the corpse king, or else Zhong Pan would only become an even greater threat in the future.

Suddenly, Lu Yin froze in place, unable to move his body at all. His pupils constricted, as he knew that Cheng Kong was attacking him.

The miniature saber that Mu Ke had given to Lu Yin that hung from his neck took action, and eighty-one slashes erupted, attacking the invisible opponent.

Sure enough, the Dreamweaver was present, and he had attacked Lu Yin with Bubble Fantasy. However, Cheng Kong was surprised to discover that Lu Yin had Mu Ke’s miniature saber again. The last time that Cheng Kong had attacked Lu Yin in the Big Stone Universe, this same protective charm had wounded Cheng Kong, and it had prevented him from taking action for a period of time.

A good bit of time had pa.s.sed since that first attack, but once again, Cheng Kong suffered from eighty-one slashes as soon as he targeted Lu Yin.

Far away, Mu Ke felt when the eighty-one slashes were released. Knowing that Lu Yin was in danger, the Arborean hurried over.

Cheng Kong was once again wounded by eighty-one slashes. Lu Yin glanced around at the fractured s.p.a.ce all around him, certain that Cheng Kong could not have gone far. There had not been enough time to escape.

"Junior Brother!" Mu Ke rushed over.

Lu Yin shouted, "Cheng Kong’s here! We can’t let him escape."

Mu Ke responded with a rare smile. "I will kill Cheng Kong today."

There were other True G.o.d Guard Captains far off in the distance, but none of them had any intention of trying to rescue Cheng Kong. They knew Cheng Kong very well, and knew that no one could find him. If they could, he would have died long ago.

However, Zhong Pan was in grave danger. Mr. Daheng looked at the corpse king and attacked from a distance. Fortunately, Zhong Pan was physically strong, and more divine energy resurged from his body, allowing him to survive the attack. If not for that, an attack from a sequence expert like Mr. Daheng would have undoubtedly killed Zhong Pan.

Lu Yin looked around, searching for Cheng Kong.

Mu Ke was doing the same, examining the area around them.

The Aeternals were thrilled to see this, as Cheng Kong alone was able to keep two of the human powerhouses occupied, which gave the rest of the Aeternals a chance to breathe.

"Can you find him?" Mu Ke asked solemnly.

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. "Yes."

…

In the Origin Universe, the Heavens Sect had been completely sealed down, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. While the crusade was active on the Endless Frontier, the Heavens Sect was worried that the Aeternals would attack the sect itself.

However, such an attack was quite unlikely.

In one corner of Heavens Sect, a man stepped out of the shadows. With a tap of his finger, the void opened, and another figure emerged from the void.

"Fortunately, I was careful after deciding that I wanted to destroy this place, and I controlled someone. Without that, it would have been really difficult to get in here," a man with a sinister voice commented.

The individual who had arrived through the void was Yu Huo.

"Can you find it? We must take that thing back," Yu Huo said.

The man replied, "All of the Heavens Sect’s research projects are concentrated in Backyard, so we can just go straight there."

"Let’s go."

The Heavens Sect was truly ma.s.sive, but the man led the way, and the two people quickly arrived at Backyard.

Backyard remained the Heavens Sect’s research center, and it was where things like microarray technology and wireless jincans were studied. Already, the sequence particle sensors had been added to the various projects. It was clear to see that the destruction of Backyard would drastically reduce the overall power of the Heavens Sect.

After all, the Heavens Sect’s Progenitors were only able to temporarily gain the ability to use sequence particles with the help of the sequence particle technology.

The man successfully arrived at Backyard while leading Yu Huo, though they were stopped at the entrance.

"Show me your voucher." A cultivator with no expression on his face stood guard at the entrance.

The man smiled and pretended to take out a voucher, but the guard’s eyes flashed, and he immediately sounded the alarm.

There were no vouchers to enter Backyard, and the question itself was a trick. All the guards knew the faces of everyone who could enter Backyard, so there was no need for any sort of credentials. The guard had only asked the question to buy a bit of time to sound the alarm.

The moment the alarm rang, the man's expression changed. "We’re exposed!"

Yu Huo casually slapped the guard dead and then stepped forward. However, as he did so, black energy surged over and slammed into the fish.

Yu Huo’s expression grew exceptionally cold beneath his black robes. "Another black energy converter."

As the fish spoke, his black robe shattered, and his body grew. The True G.o.d Guard Captain immediately entered his transformed state, growing into a ma.s.sive python as a powerful aura swept across the Heavens Sect.

Everyone in the sect was startled. "Enemy attack!"

Monarch Xing looked up and hurriedly over towards the Backyard. At the same time, two more black energies appeared in the Heavens Sect, both making their way towards Backyard. One belonged to Highsage Grandmaster, while the other belonged to Elder Gong. Lu Yin had temporarily given them two black energy converters, in order to better protect the Heavens Sect.

With Master Shan, Monarch Xing, and the Ancestor Tortoise, there were another five Progenitor-level combatants guarding the Heavens Sect. Regardless of what they might face, they could at least buy some time.
