Star Odyssey

Chapter 2919: Lu Yin’s Brother-in-law

On the other side of the Heavens Sect, Whiteless God shrugged. "This universe always holds many surprises.

"Still, this incident has revealed something to us very clearly."

Lu Tianyi stared at Whiteless God. "Who are you? You just used the Eight-Star Garan. Are you a member of the Garan clan?"

At this moment, the sourcebox array shattered, and Whiteless God shattered right along with it.

"Lu Tianyi, next time we meet, I will kill you."

Lu Tianyi watched as Whiteless God scattered and vanished. When one of the Seven Skygods wanted to leave, there was nothing that Lu Tianyi could do to make them stay.

If he tried to force the matter, it would destroy the Fifth Mainland.

Their battlefield could not be the Fifth Mainland.

More importantly, at this moment, the person who had just taken action was within the Heavens Sect.

They both curiously observed Kong Tianzhao, as neither of the Progenitors were familiar with the swordsman.

Kong Tianzhao calmly looked back at Lu Tianyi, though it belied the surprise deep in the man’s eyes. "You are strong."

Lu Tianyi stared back at Kong Tianzhao. "You are also very strong, though you seem to somehow be different from us."

Kong Tianzhao's eyes remained calm. "My understanding of cultivation is different from yours."

Lu Tianyi's eyes flashed. Understanding? Normally, people would speak about different cultivation methods and things along those lines. A different understanding suggested something far different.

"Are you an outsider?" Lu Qi asked.

Jiang Chen approached. "Uncle Kong, don't be so cold. People are going to think that you’re going to start a fight."

The young man then turned to smile at Lu Tianyi and Lu Qi. "Greetings, seniors. My name is Jiang Chen, and I am Lu Yin's friend."

Lu Qi was surprised. "You’re Little Seven’s friend?"

Jiang Chen beamed. "I’ve known him for a long time, and he might even be my brother-in-law one day."

Kong Tianzhao arched a brow as he glanced at Jiang Chen.

Lu Tianyi and Lu Qi looked at each other and then turned to stare at Jiang Chen. "Where is your sister?"

"Hahahaha… Um, my sister was just here, but she was scared away. I’ll tell you, you’re lucky that my sister was here and let Dragonturtle protect her. Otherwise, the Earth in this universe would have been done for…"

Jiang Chen kept on talking for a long time, and Lu Qi suppressed the various questions that popped up so that he could listen to the youth.

Suddenly, Lu Qi remembered the Giant’s Purgatory, and he quickly mentioned it to Lu Tianyi.

Lu Tianyi calmly replied, "There’s no need for me to go. The Aeternals are not stupid. After failing here, they’ll retreat there as well."

Lu Qi considered the matter and then turned back to smile at Jiang Chen. "Young man, let's talk. By any chance, do you have a picture of your sister?"

Jiang Chen instantly pulled out his gadget. "There are just too many. Uncle, you must be Lu Yin's father."

"That’s right. And who is your father?"

"Everyone calls him the Lord of Lightning."

"What about the guy you refer to as Uncle Kong?"

"He’s my sister's master."

"So it turns out to be my in-laws…"

Kong Tianzhao's expression remained calm as he looked at Lu Tianyi. "I hope that there will be an opportunity to exchange pointers."

Lu Tianyi nodded. "I have heard of the Lord of Lightning before. When you and I are in-laws, we will certainly have a chance."

Kong Tianzhao frowned. "Don't pay too much attention to Little Chen’s comments. Please forgive any offense that he may have caused."

"I feel that the boy is quite enthusiastic and also speaks quite reasonably."

Kong Tianzhao’s eyebrows rose. Did the Lu family need to find Lu Yin a wife?

…

After Whiteless God escaped from the Origin Universe, in the Giant’s Purgatory, Corpse God learned of what had happened. He looked at Sovereign Dou Sheng and the golden cudgel that was raised high, and then glanced at Mu Ke and Mr. Daheng who were attacking from other directions.

Across Corpse God’s entire body, all of the sequence particles instantly disappeared. They did not leave, but instead entered his body.

Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a flare of danger. "Watch out!"

Corpse God turned to face the three sequence powerhouses and punched at them with a fist so intense that ripples appeared.

Suddenly, the Skygod’s arms flew out to both sides, as though he was trying to escape from something. At that moment, the attacks from Sovereign Dou Sheng, Mu Ke, and Mr. Daheng all struck, and everyone watched as the Hollow appeared, spreading out from Corpse God in all directions.

The feeling was as though a new universe had just been opened up in the Giant’s Purgatory.

The Hollow broke the bodies of all of the super giants, including even the Cyclops King and the Mountain King.

The two giant kings stared at each other in shock. "No! Corpse God wants to destroy our universe."

Sequence powerhouses were capable of destroying a universe. For example, Big Sis could have destroyed the Gourd Universe’s law that caused gourds to form around everyone who entered the universe, but doing so would have destroyed the Gourd Universe itself.

When Mu Ke had sliced through the laws of the Inorganic Universe with Verseless, that attack had also destroyed the Inorganic Universe.

As one of the Seven Skygods, Corpse God possessed a terrifying level of power, and he was more than capable of destroying a universe.

He did not actually want to destroy the Giant’s Purgatory; rather, he wanted to deal with his three opponents’ attacks by showing them that, if they continued to push him, their fight would destroy the Giant’s Purgatory.

The choice was left to the Sixverse Association. It was up to whether or not they were willing to destroy the Giant's Purgatory.

The Giant's Purgatory was extremely useful for the Sixverse Association as it was an important battlefield in the war against Aeternus. If they were willing to casually destroy the universe, then what had been the point of using it as one of the foundation for the Endless Frontier’s initial formation?

Whether or not a price was worth paying depended on what would be gained. The Inorganic Universe had been destroyed as the price for killing a True God Guard Captain. This was a fair exchange. Lu Yin fully believed that sacrificing the Inorganic Universe had been a worthwhile price to pay for the Aeternals that they had killed. As for sacrificing the Giant’s Purgatory to kill Corpse God, once again, Lu Yin believed that the price was worth paying.

Lu Yin was not alone, as Sovereign Dou Sheng and Mu Ke both thought the same as well, provided that they could kill Corpse God.

Sovereign Dou Sheng did not fear death, and he brazenly charged into the Hollow, intending to pass through it to kill Corpse God.

Mu Ke did not flinch, and he followed right behind.

They were so focused on destroying Corpse God that they ignored the Cyclops King.

The Cyclops King had finally seen a glimmer of hope to destroy the Mountain King, which would allow the cyclops to escape from the Giant’s Purgatory. Thus he did not want Corpse God to be killed.

If Sovereign Dou Sheng and the others continued their deathmatch with Corpse God, the result would be the deaths of all of the super giants of both races. How could the Cyclops King agree to mutual destruction at this point?

A hand appeared from the side, striking both Sovereign Dou Sheng and Mu Ke. The two men were caught off guard by the sudden attack, and the Cyclops King successfully pushed them back.

The surprise attack infuriated Lu Yin, and he used Inverse Step to arrive from a different direction. He punched the Cyclops King, trying to give Sovereign Dou Sheng and the sequence powerhouses an opening with which to deal with Corpse God.

Unfortunately, it was already too late. The Cyclops King’s interference gave Corpse God the time that he needed to escape.

He did not look at Sovereign Dou Sheng or anyone else, but instead focused solely on Lu Yin. "You will pay for this."

With that, Corpse God left.

Far away, all of Aeternus’s forces, aside from the True God Guard Captains, had been abandoned. Unfortunately, Cheng Kong’s death was the humans’ only gain from the battle in the Giant’s Purgatory.

Lu Yin was not originally part of the Sixverse Association, so even though he had learned a great deal about them, he still failed to understand the Sixverse Association's hatred for Cheng Kong.

The truth was that Cheng Kong’s death would cause an even greater commotion than the death of one of the Seven Skygods in the Sixverse Association.

As soon as this news was delivered, Lu Yin would receive the gratitude of countless people throughout the Sixverse Association, and his reputation would instantly surpass most of the peak powerhouses in the alliance.

The Origin Universe was already constantly interacting with the Sixverse Association, and the two were continuously learning about each other. Recently, Lu Yin had helped Lord Wei kill Shaman God. Then, he had initiated a crusade to conquer the Endless Frontier, slaughtering a great number of the Aeternals. Progenitor-level corpse kings had been killed, as well as a True God Guard Captain. Most recently, Cheng Kong had been killed. Very quickly, Lu Yin had already successfully caused more harm to Aeternus than what the combined Sixverse Association had achieved over the course of countless years.

Lu Yin had left behind countless legends in the Origin Universe, and he was starting to replicate that pattern in the Sixverse Association.

Of course, such a reputation was an integral part of the Heavens Sect’s intentions. Wang Wen was well aware of just how important image and publicity were. Often, people were confused by appearances, rather than the truth. It did not matter what Lu Yin accomplished; if no one learned of his achievements, they were meaningless. Instead of Lu Yin’s accomplishments mattering to people, what actually mattered was what everyone thought of him. Those were the real great achievements.

Wang Wen and Wei Rong were both masters at capturing the hearts of the common people. Everything that Lu Yin had achieved was magnified countless times over as it was shared with the people of the Sixverse Association.

The Hollow slowly recovered.

Lu Yin looked upset as he stared out at the empty universe. There had been a chance to deal with Corpse God, preventing him from escaping, but that opportunity had been lost solely because of the Cyclops King.

Mu Ke appeared next to Lu Yin. "Don't think too much about what happened. Since Corpse God dared to show himself, he had to have had a back-up plan in place as well. No one could have anticipated the Cyclops King's attack. All he did was keep Corpse God’s back-up plan hidden from us."

Lu Yin knew that this was true, but he was still frustrated by the results.

Even if Corpse God had used divine energy to safely escape, Lu Yin did not believe that any of the Aeternals could use divine energy without limits. No matter how much divine energy the True God possessed, it could never be enough.

As far as Lu Yin was concerned, the more divine energy the Aeternals were forced to consume, the greater the impact it would have on the True God.

The universe trembled. The Cyclops King was still fighting against the Mountain King. The giants would not stop fighting just because the Aeternals in their universe had been defeated. The battle between the giants was a law of the universe in the Giant’s Purgatory.

"Where is Sovereign Dou Sheng?" Lu Yin suddenly noticed that Sovereign Dou Sheng had left. He should not have left to chase after Corpse God.

Mu Ke replied, "Sovereign Dou Sheng’s primary battlefield is not this place. With Corpse God gone, there was no point in the Sovereign remaining here."

Lu Yin found this to be a pity, as he had wanted to communicate with Sovereign Dou Sheng and find a way to learn Triumphant Brawl. Lu Yin had noticed that Triumphant Brawl would perfectly complement Extremes Must Be Reversed.

There was a bang. A chain that was flying through the sky crashed down. Mu Ke had chopped it to pieces.

"What are you all doing? Use this opportunity to destroy the mountain-backed giants!" the Cyclops King roared.

Across from him, the Mountain King looked ferocious. "One-eye, even if I die, it will never be at your hands!"

The Cyclops King arrogantly shot back, "You have no choice!"

Lu Yin watched the exchange with cold eyes. He was quite irritated with the Cyclops King, but at the moment, the only option was to help him eliminate the Mountain King. Lu Yin could not switch sides and help the Mountain King, as many cultivators from the Sixverse Association had died to that giant’s hands over the years. The mountain-backed giants had been working with the Aeternals, and everyone knew it.

The only way to take full control of the Giant’s Purgatory was to destroy the mountain-backed giants.

The Mountain King and the Cyclops King possessed similar levels of strength, and neither could defeat the other. However, if Mu Ke and Mr. Daheng took action, that balance would be broken.

Lu Yin watched from a distance as the Mountain King was surrounded and killed. It was a strange feeling, watching such an event. It was clearly the end of an entire race of beings, and yet there was no sadness from the Mountain King, nor from any of the other mountain-backed giants. Instead, all of them looked relieved.

The battles between the rest of the super giants all stopped as the entire Giant’s Purgatory watched as the Mountain King was attacked. His resistance grew weaker and weaker as he grew closer and closer to death. If the Cyclops King had not joined the assault, the Mountain King would not have even put up any resistance.

Finally, with a loud noise, the chains that bound the Mountain King broke and scattered across the Giant’s Purgatory.

Blood accompanied the broken chains as they flew everywhere, spilling across the universe and sprinkling onto the faces of many of the super giants.
