Star Odyssey

Neither men took a step back as their spears remained locked in a fierce struggle.

“Child, you are truly impressive. Loam may have broken into the Origin realm, but he still needed his Investiture of the Gods and Champions' Stage to barely be able to stand up to me. He suffered one blow after another. You, on the other hand, you can already face me directly,” Ancient God marveled.

Lu Yin peered through the collapsing space to stare at Ancient God. There would be no escape for this man. He was controlled by True God, and thus he had no choice but to fight for Aeternus. Even if he uncovered the truth of the Fated One, what would it matter? Gu Yizhi’s sacrifice would still ultimately be futile.

“Gu Yizhi, you betrayed humanity! You deserve to die!” Lu Yin pushed forward, thrusting his spear with immense strength. Even Ancient God, who wielded the most powerful battle force in existence, could not stop Lu Yin and was pushed back step by step. Gu Yizhi’s spear was reinforced with his Wielder - God battle force, which made it tough enough to not shatter, even under the pressure of Lu Yin’s dirt spear.

Lu Yin dropped his spear and quickly threw a palm strike. The attack followed the line of his spear and Ancient God’s.

The Skygod raised a hand, bringing out his Purgatory Seal, which crashed down. A massive landmass appeared above Lu Yin's head, and it blocked the Purgatory Seal. The next instant, Lu Yin had moved past the spear and was standing just a meter away from Ancient God. The Skygod’s eyes turned blood-red as he underwent the Corpse King Transformation. With his Wielder - Void domain, space chased after time, and his surroundings froze. Simultaneously, Lu Yin used Inverse Step and moved at the speed of time.

The two figures passed each other as the void shattered. One of the two staggered backwards, while the other stomped firmly on the deck.

"I told you, you deserve to die," Lu Yin stated.

Suddenly, his vision warped, and all he could see was the deck. Shaman God had mixed Lu Yin’s five senses.

"Hehe, you came here alone to slaughter us Aeternals? Kid, just who do you think you are?" Shaman God mocked.

Stars shifted as the power of Lu Yin’s inner universe reacted violently, warping his surroundings. The layer of space where Shaman God had been hiding was ripped open, and Lu Yin spun around. He instantly appeared right in front of Shaman God, ignoring the two corpse kings that were attacking him from behind. Lu Yin grabbed Shaman God by the neck and lifted him up. "Times have changed. It's time for the Seven Skygods to fall."

Crack!

Shaman God’s eyes bulged as his neck snapped. His body dissolved into a seed that instantly flew towards True God.

Before the seed could reach True God, Lu Yin crushed it with one hand.

The two corpse kings behind him were no threat; Lu Yin was already using Extremes Must Be Reversed. He turned around and shattered both of the monsters with a single punch. When he glanced around, he found that Ancient God had already disappeared.

It might be for the best that Ancient God left. Lu Yin lifted his hand and aimed at the section of the Ossis Ark where the bones were stored. Within the bounds of Verdant Eternity, endless power surged through him, and he unleashed a single palm strike at the distant region.

At that moment, the pages of the Martial Scriptures filled the area. Lu Yin’s attack did not break through the Ossis Ark, but it did shatter the Martial Scriptures.

During his Progenitor’s tribulation, Lu Yin had shattered the Martial Scriptures of the humanoid tribulation of Wu Tian from when he had just become a Progenitor. Using the same attack on the Ossis Ark had shattered Di Qiong’s Martial Scriptures, despite the man being a sequence powerhouse.

Di Qiong stood before Lu Yin, no spark of intelligence in his eyes. He had undergone the Martial God Transformation.

None of the Three Pillars and Six Skies were currently Lu Yin’s match, at least not in their normal states. Upon becoming a true Progenitor, Lu Yin’s power had reached a level that shocked even True God.

Di Qiong sacrificed his life once again to use the Martial God Transformation, and his unconscious body charged at Lu Yin.

The Martial God Transformation? This was the final level of the Corpse King Transformation. Lu Yin could not help but admire Di Qiong. Being able to create such a technique showed the man’s tenacity and resolve.

However, the real greatest strength in the megaverse did not belong to Di Qiong.

Boom!

The Ossis Ark trembled.

Across the ship, Feng Bo, Undying God, Xu Jin, Blackless God, and Tian En all turned to look towards the commotion. Were they still fighting? Had Lu Yin managed to hold out for so long? ʀÃƝȱꞖÈṦ

“Attack together! Kill him!” True God’s voice echoed in all of their ears.

The Ossis Ark was enormous, and Lu Yin had appeared near True God. On that side of the ship, there was Ancient God, Shaman God, Corpse God, and Di Qiong. The Aeternals had initially assumed that Lu Yin would not be able to last for very long and that he would quickly escape. The fact that he had chased after them indicated that he was at least somewhat confident, but how could the battle have not ended yet? On top of that, had True God really just ordered all the Aeternals to attack Lu Yin? That was terrifying.

Just how powerful had the man become?

It had to be stated that the Investiture of the Gods had not appeared yet. Lu Yin was capable of summoning two of the Three Realms and Six Daos, and the fact that he had not done so yet could only mean one thing: he no longer needed to borrow others’ strength.

Cracks started to spread across the Ossis Ark, reaching from stem to stern.

The Ossis Ark started wobbling. Because of the overwhelming power of Lu Yin’s attacks, the ship could potentially shatter at any moment.

Lu Yin moved to the area where the corpse kings were integrating bones into their bodies, and countless crimson slitted eyes turned to glare at Lu Yin.

He took a deep breath. This was the secret of the Ossis Ark.

When he had first heard about the Ossis Ark’s secret, it had left him so shaken that he had felt that he had no choice but to infiltrate Aeternus as Ye Bo.

At that time, Lu Yin had only known that Ossis Ark could produce an endless number of sequence powerhouses, which allowed the ship to restrain the Immemorial Citadel. If the Ossis Ark had ever visited the Sixverse Association, they would have had no way to stop it.

This was also absolutely true. If the Ossis Ark had gone to the Sixverse Association back then, before Hongyan Mavis, Garan Zhiluo, Wu Tian, the Megalith, the Pridebeast, Supreme, Ye Wu, and so many other experts had joined the Heavens Sect, who would have been capable of stopping the ship that had fought against the Immemorial Citadel for eons?

If the Ossis Ark had arrived, the Sixverse Association would have been wiped out.

However, at that time, it had also been impossible for the Ossis Ark to travel to the Sixverse Association specifically because of the Immemorial Citadel. If the Ossis Ark moved, the people of the Immemorial Citadel would have given chase.

This was something that Lu Yin had only understood much later on. When he had first learned about the Ossis Ark, how could he have not gone to investigate such a threat? How could he have left such a thing unchecked?

Even at the current moment, with so many of humanity’s greatest experts uniting together, Lu Yin still had to chase after the Ossis Ark in order to destroy it. He did not expect to kill True God or even Ancient God; he was not strong enough to do that yet. However, he could—and he needed to destroy Aeternus’s ability to produce endless corpse kings at the level of sequence powerhouses. The Aeternals’ greatest weapon needed to be neutralized.

A group of corpse kings charged at Lu Yin. He once again sensed the same power that he had once felt from the triangle-headed corpse king and the long-legged corpse king. He also saw a corpse king charging at him while carrying seven swords, as well as a powerful, bronze-skinned corpse king.

None of these corpse kings had originally possessed such powers. Everything had been given to them through the bones they had integrated into themselves.

These bones likely came from powerhouses who had fallen to Aeternus, some of whom had died during ancient eras. No one knew how many powerhouses had fallen over the years, aside from the Aeternals themselves.

It was time for those mighty experts to finally return to dust.

Lu Yin moved as if there were no one nearby. His overwhelming strength allowed him to break through everything. Sequence particles were rejected, and the corpse kings could not do anything to stop Lu Yin either.

Only one person was able to catch Lu Yin's attention. There was an energetic-looking woman who wielded a long staff that looked like it was made of glass. She stood behind the others, watching Lu Yin. She clearly was not a corpse king.

Boom!

The deck shattered as Lu Yin punched at the remaining bones. The woman understood his goal and pushed a brightly colorful painting towards Lu Yin.

He punched at the painting, and it simply vanished.

However, her efforts were not entirely ineffective. The painting had been of a lofty floating castle, and a corner of that castle had shattered.

The woman exclaimed, "As expected of the ruler of humanity who managed to defeat their greatest enemy. Not even the Jintian Painting can stop you."

As she spoke, she swung her glass staff. Lu Yin could sense the woman’s strength, and there was no doubt that she was one of Aeternus’s most powerful sequence powerhouses, but that was still not enough to stop him.

Lu Yin’s strength was truly peerless. No one within the same realm of cultivation as him could stand against him.

A gust of wind swept past. Feng Bo and Undying God, who had just arrived, were almost pushed back. They looked over to see Lu Yin blocking the glass staff, and fear filled the two men’s eyes. What was this power?

"I am Zhan Yan, and I represent the Spirit Nidus. I invite you to join us, Lord Lu," the woman offered, her eyes sparkling even as cracks appeared on her staff.

Lu Yin struck the glass staff with a hand, but his attack was blocked. The power that blocked his palm was actually his own.

Zhan Yan held the Jintian Painting in one hand and her glass staff in the other. She was barely managing to endure Lu Yin's palm strike.

He stared at her. "The Spirit Nidus? What’s your connection to Tian Ci?"

"He is he, and I am me. Lord Lu, think about it. You have no future. Even if you defeat Aeternus, so what? You should already understand that Aeternus is not your true enemy. Humanity has reached their limit. Beyond this point is only the abyss," Zhan Yan whispered. She made sure that Lu Yin was the only one who could hear her voice.

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. "Show some sincerity first."

Zhan Yan stared into his eyes, revealing open admiration and a hint of a smile. "When you show your sincerity, we will reciprocate."

"How?"

"Abandon the Heavens Sect."

Lu Yin laughed loudly, and with the help of Verdant Eternity, his power surged as he lashed out with another palm.

There was a crack, and the glass staff shattered. Zhan Yan was sent flying, though she managed to use the Jintian Painting to shield herself. Lu Yin attacked again, this time striking the painting. The castle in the painting collapsed entirely, and the painting tore apart. Behind it, Zhan Yan spat out blood, her face pale. She simply turned around and moved to leave.

Lu Yin threw another punch after her as she fled. "Worm!"

Zhan Yan looked back, her eyes blazing with a bone-chilling coldness. This was the first time in her life that anyone had called her an worm.

"You will regret this!"

A section of the Ossis Ark broke open as Zhan Yan rushed away, still spitting out blood after her escape.

Lu Yin did not chase after the woman. She most likely would not be able to survive after taking his punch. Instead, he turned around, just as a powerful consciousness surged towards him like a tsunami. Xu Jin was attacking.

Undying God and Feng Bo both approached as well; one moved with Inverse Step while holding a withered blade, and the other carried a sword shaped like a tower that was stained with blood. The two swords sliced out.

Three experts at the level of the Seven Skygods were attacking Lu Yin in unison.

He stood in place, immovable. Xu Jin's consciousness had no effect. Similarly, neither Undying God nor Feng Bo could harm Lu Yin at all.

His hands rose up, and he grabbed the withered blade with one and the tower-shaped sword with the other as he stared at Undying God and Feng Bo.

"Since you're already dead, you shouldn’t show up again."

He squeezed with both hands, shattering the two swords.

Feng Bo was horrified. This person's power had reached an absolutely terrifying level. "Wait, I am from…"

Before he could finish speaking, everything went black. Lu Yin had already shattered the man with a single palm strike, even crushing the seed that had brought him back. Lu Yin had not even heard Feng Bo's words.

Then, Lu Yin turned to Undying God, and the more distant Blackless God, though Lu Yin did not move any closer.

Undying God stared blankly at Lu Yin. He relaxed his grip on his broken sword while showing a bitter smile. This was the same expression that Lu Yin had seen on the man’s face when he had first seen Undying God: listless and exhausted.

"Wu Tian was willingly imprisoned in the Scourge. You wanted to kill him in order to set him free, didn't you?" Lu Yin asked.

Undying God took a deep breath and smiled. This smile was different from any that Lu Yin had seen on the man’s face before. "Wu Tian deceived me."

Lu Yin did not know how to respond to that. If Wu Tian had not allowed himself to be imprisoned in the Scourge, Undying God might not have become one of the Seven Skygods. However, had Wu Tian’s choice been wrong? He may have been unfair to Undying God, but for the rest of humanity, Wu Tian had done what he thought was necessary.

Wu Tian had made a decision to prevent misfortune from befalling humanity. The man had willingly sacrificed himself. As the Origin Progenitor had once said, Wu Tian was too earnest, and that made those closest to him suffer.
