Star Odyssey Chapter 3100: Invading The Second Scourge

Chapter 3100: Invading The Second Scourge

Overwhelming power was released with an animalistic ferocity, and attacks rained down upon the Aeternals.

For a moment, Shao Yin was utterly stunned.

Lan Lan was astonished. When did the Nine-Star Civilization gain such an ally?

These newcomers also fought with reckless abandon.

Ji Luo attacked E' Ji with his sword. The woman could not see the attack, as it was too fast, but that did not even matter. Her body was enveloped by a destructive energy, and the slash first needed to slice through this layer of destructive force.

"This is fantastic, kid! Come on! Let's go again!" E' Ji was excited. She had finally found a powerful enemy who was able to endure her power. How could she not be thrilled?

In the past, her people had only been able to release their destructive power by destroying universes, stars, planets, and land ma.s.ses. It looked like they had finally found a reliable outlet for their power.

No longer would they have to worry about being unable to release the power that they drained from their ancestor.

The people of the Scourge Occupation and the Nine-Star Civilization were completely opposite in nature. The Nine-Star Civilization followed an incredibly rigid cultivation method and system of battle techniques. Each person was like a scholar, and they maintained perfect composure even in the midst of battle. The people of the Scourge Occupation were the polar opposite, as each of them was a violent maniac. They radiated a powerful desire for destruction and lived lives of extreme luxury.

An alliance between these two completely opposing human civilizations presented Aeternus with an unprecedented dilemma.

As they fought against the Scourge Occupation, Aeternus confronted a significant problem: the seemingly endless power of the Scourge Occupation.

Anytime a person’s internal power started to wane, they would immediately return to their ancestor, drain a bit of his power, and instantly replenish their strength. This became increasingly evident to Aeternus as the battle continued.

Di Qiong coldly observed the Scourge Occupation’s arrival onto the battlefield. It was clear that the Nine-Star Civilization and this mysterious civilization did not know each other. Where had these people come from?

Suddenly, Xin Wu arrived. "Your Excellency, the Third Scourge is being attacked by the Origin Universe."

Di Qiong was startled. "What?"

He immediately returned.

Blackless G.o.d then arrived in the shattered remains of the Nine-Star Civilization’s original universe. Arrow G.o.d had stayed there, not pursuing the Nine-Star Civilization.

"Have you resolved your issue?" Arrow G.o.d asked.

Blackless G.o.d replied, "He’s a troublesome fellow, but it looks like he will also fall within the scope of this Divine Commandment."

Arrow G.o.d barely reacted. "Things are not going well here. A new civilization has suddenly joined the battle, and they are helping the Nine-Star Civilization fight against us. Xu Jin seems to have been severely injured by Kakawen's nine-star technique, Restart, and was forced to retreat. On top of that, Di Qiong's Third Scourge is being attacked by the Origin Universe."

"Is this all just a coincidence?" Blackless G.o.d was surprised by all of these developments.

Arrow G.o.d's eyes narrowed. Was everything a coincidence? That did not seem likely at all.

Her suspicions were why she had not pursued the Nine-Star Civilization and dedicated herself to that battle. Arrow G.o.d wanted to see what other developments would appear.

She had partic.i.p.ated in the second Divine Commandment, but she had only heard about the first one.

In both instances, Aeternus had held total control from beginning to end and had utterly dominated everything. This time, it appeared that another hand was intervening, and events were being steered in an uncontrollable direction. At the least, the Nine-Star Civilization would not fall easily.

In the Third Scourge, Lu Tianyi pointed a finger, driving Di Xia to the ground. The corpse king’s eyes blazed. If he were in his peak condition, it was unlikely, but at least possible, that he could stop Lu Tianyi. This was because Lu Tianyi was attacking a Scourge, and he was shunned from all of them. No matter how powerful someone might be, they would be weakened after being shunned.

Unfortunately for Di Xia, his inexplicable injuries were too severe, and instead of being nearly impossible, it was completely impossible for him to stop his attacker.

Far away, Fei was fighting against Leng Qing. Fei had also been severely injured, as she had suffered from Lu Yin's Setting Sun.

The Origin Universe was dominating the entire Third Scourge.

Lu Tianyi casually arrived at the Wu Tian Observatory, and he looked at Wu Tian. "Senior, you may have your reasons for staying here, but please consider our feelings as well. There are people who have risked their lives to save you. Whether your sacrifice is worthwhile is not for me to judge, but you have a chance to leave now, so please take care of yourself."

Wu Tian looked at Lu Tianyi and smiled. "I remember you. You were the most talented descendent of the Lu family."

Lu Tianyi bowed slowly. "Senior, take care of yourself."

Wu Tian sighed deeply. "Do not sacrifice any more for me. There are people whose destinies are completely beyond their control. It’s good to be young, as you don't know when to give up."

Lu Tianyi said nothing more. When Lu Yuan had returned from the Third Scourge, he had mentioned to Lu Tianyi in the Lu Sanctum that Wu Tian refused to return, but Lu Tianyi had not been told the reason for the man’s refusal.

Lu Tianyi was considering Lu Yin. He was aware of just how much the child had sacrificed, and while it was true that there were times when sacrifices needed to be made for the greater good, Lu Tianyi did not want to see Lu Yin's efforts become one of those sacrifices. The child had already given up too much.

However, if Wu Tian truly refused to leave the Third Scourge, the matter could not be forced.

Di Qiong arrived in the Third Scourge, and he immediately looked towards the Wu Tian Observatory, where he saw Lu Tianyi speaking with Wu Tian.

Di Qiong felt indescribably humiliated. He was supposed to be Wu Tian’s imprisoner, and yet humans continued to come and go as they pleased, visiting Wu Tian, while Wu Tian refused to leave.

Who was truly the prisoner? Wu Tian or Di Qiong?

"You are courting death!" Di Qiong pulled out his spear and thrust it towards Lu Tianyi.

The man glanced over at Di Qiong, and as he did so, an Invest.i.ture of the G.o.ds appeared above his head, its golden light illuminating every corner of the Third Scourge. "Senior, humanity has not weakened since the pinnacle of the Heavens Sect era. If we had, why would Aeternus be so concerned about us? Senior, look at the greatest heroes of an era."

As he spoke, images of Progenitor Chen and Progenitor Ku emerged from the Invest.i.ture of the G.o.ds, and they charged at Di Qiong.

Wu Tian felt incredibly grateful, as this was the proper way for humanity to behave.

Lu Yin had taken Mu Ke out of the Arboreal Realm to find Ye Wu. After observing things for some time, Mu Ji discovered Mu Ke’s absence, and he had prepared to force his way onto the Endless Frontier. As long as Mu Ke was absent, there should not be a problem.

Mu Ji suddenly shot forward, his eyes fixed on the border. As soon as he crossed over, he would be able to return to Aeternus.

Suddenly, abyssal flowers blossomed in front of him. The ma.s.sive flowers appeared beneath his feet and completely surrounded him. "Let's see where you can escape to now."

Mu Ji's scalp went numb. Another sequence powerhouse had appeared. First, he had been stopped by Mu Ke, and now this woman. It was clear that the Sixverse a.s.sociation was determined to stop Mu Ji from returning to Aeternus. There was no doubt that Ye Bo was really Lu Yin.

Mu Ji immediately turned and fled. He could not risk a direct battle.

While the woman wanted to stop Mu Ji, he was far from weak. Even Mu Ke's lethal strike with Verseless had not been able to stop Mu Ji.

However, this encounter convinced Mu Ji to never again try to enter the Endless Frontier from the Arboreal Realm. Instead, he would go to some other parallel universe in the Sixverse a.s.sociation, and try to reach the Endless Frontier from there. He refused to believe that it was impossible to cross the borders.

If that still did not work, there had to be other ways to return. Right, there were also the human guides who could directly enter the various parallel universes of the Endless Frontier. Mu Ji slapped his forehead, unable to believe that he had forgotten about that particular option.

"Lu Yin, you can't stop me," he muttered.

At this moment, Lu Yin was also very busy.

As soon as he had received Mimina's request for help, Lu Yin had returned to the Heavens Sect and immediately reached out to the Scourge Occupation to ask them to help the Nine-Star Civilization. At the same time, he sent out more and more orders, directing the Origin Universe’s experts to attack the Third Scourge, in order to divert Aeternus's most powerful experts. As for Lu Yin himself, he went to the Second Scourge.

From Mimina's information, Lu Yin understood that several of Aeternus’s Three Pillars and Six Skies were currently attacking the Nine-Star Civilization. While Lu Yin had no idea why Aeternus had suddenly decided to target the Nine-Star Civilization, the attack was not a real surprise. He had suspected for a long time that the Aeternals would try to shake up the current balance, and attacking one human civilization at a time was the only way to do that.

Lu Yin simply had not expected such a ruthless attack.

All he could do was try to disperse Aeternus's forces.

The Third Scourge was attacked to draw Di Qiong away.

The Second Scourge was attacked to draw Xu Jin away.

Lu Yin charged into the Second Scourge, accompanied by Lord Xu, Mu Shen, and Ye Wu.

There was a ma.s.sive dark cloud in the Second Scourge, just beneath the black Mother Tree. It covered a rather large area, and that was where Xu Jin could be found.

This was not Lu Yin's first visit to the Second Scourge, but when he had first been here, he had been posing as Ye Bo. Beside him, Lord Xu was rather nervous about invading yet another Scourge. The war between humanity and Aeternus had become quite unstable in recent years.

In the past, the ruler of the Voidforce Universe had never invaded a Sourge, despite all of his years as a member of the Sixverse a.s.sociation. He had only ever taken action to counter the Seven SkyG.o.ds.

But the moment Lu Yin had entered the Sixverse a.s.sociation, the war had slowly s.h.i.+fted from within the Sixverse a.s.sociation itself, to the Endless Frontier, and then to the six Scourges. Humans had already invaded Aeternus's territory on several occasions, and it was all due to the ruthless young man.

Actually, how had Lu Yin even found this particular place?

Lord Xu had to admit that he admired Lu Yin's courage and methods, though he would have much preferred to attack the Third Scourge. That was because Wu Tian was in that Scourge, and Wu Tian was Lord Xu’s old friend.

Mu Shen's expression was solemn. Finally, they were learning about Aeternus’s foundation in the Second Scourge.

Despite being under immense pressure, Mu Shen did not feel despair. He knew that Aeternus had many other enemies as well.

Ye Wu stared at the distant dark cloud. Sure enough, the dark cloud was there. That meant that Xu Jin was present, right?

The arrival of Lu Yin’s group created quite a stir in the Second Scourge. Countless corpse kings shot towards the men, as well as some peak powerhouses who were traitors. There were also some experts who had been born in Aeternus Kingdoms.

Lu Yin looked at the swarm of Aeternals and said, "Seniors, Aeternus has launched an unprecedented attack in an attempt to destroy the Nine-Star Civilization. This time, they are targeting the Nine-Star Civilization, but their next target might very well be our Sixverse a.s.sociation. I thank you for your a.s.sistance in this matter, as we are not only trying to help the Nine-Star Civilization, but also ensure that all civilizations who fight against the Aeternals know that our Sixverse a.s.sociation will not abandon any ally."

Lord Xu looked up. "Since we are already here, we need to defeat this Second Scourge."

With that, a ma.s.sive amount of voidforce energy swept forward as the Voidlord launched a fierce attack.

Mu Shen lashed out, sending ma.s.sive wooden blocks flying across the Scourge.

Ye Wu shot straight towards the dark cloud.

A Champions’ Stage appeared beside Lu Yin, and he started summoning multiple Progenitor-level champions. He rode atop the Seven-Star Mantis, antic.i.p.ating that Xu Jin would return as soon as he learned that the Second Scourge was being attacked.

Lu Yin did not know that Xu Jin was already within the dark clouds, having been severely injured by Kakawen’s Restart.

Ye Wu charged at the dark cloud. Since Lu Yin knew that Xu Jin had joined the attack on the Nine-Star Civilization, he allowed Ye Wu to charge forward.

However, an eye suddenly appeared within the dark cloud, and it stared intently at the approaching Ye Wu. "Humans?"

Lu Yin was startled. Why was Xu Jin already present?

Lord Xu and Mu Shen were also taken aback, as something unexpected had already occurred.

The eye turned to the distance, where he saw Lu Yin and the other two.

Xu Jin did not recognize Lord Xu or Mu Shen, but he did know Lu Yin. "Lu Yin? Why are you in my Second Scourge?"

A major reason for the Divine Commandment was the fact that the human civilizations were uniting. The Origin Universe and the Sixverse a.s.sociation had allied themselves with the Five Spirits Alliance and the Luna Alliance. If all of the Aeternals’ major enemies united, things would become quite troublesome.

This was also the reason why the last Divine Commandment had been launched.

However, Lu Yin's appearance in the Second Scourge coincided with the first action of the Divine Commandment, which had been to destroy the Nine-Star Civilization. Xu Jin immediately suspected something terrible; could the Origin Universe and the Nine-Star Civilization have already united?

Xu Jin had no time to consider things further, as Ye Wu was already attacking.
