Star Odyssey

Chapter 1422: Obligations Of A Brother-in-law

On the other side, someone else had gotten caught up in the appearance of the barrier: Xia Taili.

Xia Taili was at a loss as she stared at Liu Hao and Yao Xuan who were outside the barrier formed by the invisible, and also at Xia Shenfei, who was still drunk and floating in the air. What the hell?

She immediately attacked the barrier, but was not able to overcome such a strong barrier.

Yao Xuan, Liu Hao, and Wu Taibai immediately moved to try to rescue Xia Taili, but all their efforts were useless. They could only watch as Xia Taili was forced towards the center of the battlefield by the barrier.

Bai Shaohong and his party had also been close to the battlefield, but Bai Shaohong was cautious by nature, so he had stopped his team the moment that he had realized that there was an ancient battlefield up ahead, so his team did not get involved.

"I don't know which unfortunate person stepped foot in the center of the battlefield and triggered the trap that ensures mutual destruction," the elegant woman on the team said with a smile.

Bai Shaohong stared towards the center of the battlefield. It would be best if all three of the other teams were involved in this.

At the center of the battlefield, Long Tian's group saw the barrier sweeping towards them from the distance, and their expressions all drastically changed.

"That should be the power that made it so that no one left this battlefield alive and that everyone from both sides died," Wen Diyi said solemnly.

"Attack!" Long Tian shouted as a long spear appeared in his hand. He thrust it forward in a strange curve. At the same time, Long Xi also pulled out a long spear and stabbed forward.

While Lu Yin could see that Long Xi and Long Tian were both using long spears, he could tell that there was a slight difference between them. The difference could be felt the moment they each simply grabbed hold of their spear. Lu Yin had observed countless sword and spear techniques from the Sword Monument, and he felt more from the way Long Tian held the spear than he did from Long Xi.

At the side, Liu Tianmu immediately attacked, using the Eleventh Sword.

Wen Diyi attacked as well, and ancient characters appeared on top of each other over his hand before shooting forward with tremendous power.

Lu Yin did not remain idle, and he attacked with Vacuum Palms.

There were five people, and five attacks struck as one at a single point, but they were simply unable to do anything to the approaching barrier.

Long Xi grabbed Lu Yin and stepped back.

Long Tian's face grew ugly as the barrier formed from the invisible energy shot towards his team.

"Leave now!" Long Tian said in a deep voice before turning and making his way towards the center of the battlefield.

"Everyone, there’s no need for any of us to hide our strength right now. We need to work together, and if we don't break this barrier, none of us will be able to live," Long Tian continued.

Lu Yin suddenly shouted, "Someone’s coming!”

He had left his domain out this entire time, and he had just felt a powerful individual enter the edge of his range.

At this moment, another person meant more help, so Long Tian immediately led everyone towards where Lu Yin indicated.

At the edge of Lu Yin's domain, Wang Su and her team were also racing towards Lu Yin and the others.

Unseen Light commented, "The domain we just entered belongs to Long Qi, so it was the White Dragon Clan’s team that triggered this."

Nong Sanniang gritted her teeth. "What a bunch of idiots!"

Wang Su's face remained calm. It did not take long for the two teams to meet each other.

Lu Yin and Unseen Light both looked in another direction at the same time. "There’s someone else."

Everyone's expression changed once again. Had all of the teams that had entered the Dominion Realm gotten caught in this trap? This was the worst luck.

Nong Sanniang gloated, "I hope it's those guys from the Celestial Frost Sect."

Though no one liked to admit it, it was true that the Celestial Frost Sect stood at the top of the four ruling powers, and Bai Shaohong’s team was absolutely the most powerful of the four teams.

It would be perfect if Bai Shaohong and his team were also inside this barrier, as their chances of survival would rise drastically.

Unfortunately, Xia Taili was the only person that approached.

"Which idiot got me involved in this mess?" Xia Taili's face was full of indignation.

Lu Yin rolled his eyes. She was already trying to place blame without even knowing the situation. They had emerged from inside the branch to find themselves in the middle of the battlefield. They had certainly not taken a typical path.

"Hey, was it you? Something wrong with your eyes?" Xia Taili stared at Unseen Light. "Are you ashamed to open your eyes?"

Unseen Light casually replied, "I’ve always been like this, though it’s led to more than a few misunderstandings."

"Alright, cut the nonsense. We have eleven people here, so we all need to attack with power vessels. I refuse to believe that we can’t break through this barrier," Wang Su said.

Long Tian solemnly agreed, "Don't hide anything and use your strongest power vessel."

"This power once destroyed an entire ancient battlefield. If the barrier maintained that same strength even now, we’d have no chance. But things tend to decay over time, and this barrier should be much weaker than before, so if we attack together, we’ll definitely be able to break it," Wen Diyi said firmly.

Xia Taili rolled her eyes, "Thank you for the explanation! You're so smart."

Wen Diyi was left speechless.

Lu Yin glanced at Xia Taili. This girl really had a vicious tongue. It reminded him of Hai Qiqi.

"Come on, attack!" Long Tian shouted as he took out a large seal from his cosmic ring. The moment the big seal appeared, the void twisted, and everyone felt as though they had just been struck by a heavy hammer.

This was a power vessel that surpassed the strength of even an Envoy. No one knew just how powerful it truly was.

Wang Su also took out a power vessel, and it caused the earth and sky to ripple.

Long Xi, Wen Diyi, Xia Taili, and everyone else took out various power vessels, and Lu Yin brought out the ring that Long Xi had given him. He planned to throw it.

"That's for defense," Long Xi snorted.

There was no time to think, and all of the power vessels were used at the same time to attack a single point on the barrier.

The next moment, the void was torn apart, and an indescribable shockwave tore through the Withered Glory region. It turned into an incomparable storm that swept out in all directions.

Lu Yin was blown away before he could even see what was happening. He reflexively put on his universal armor. It was an item that could endure attacks with power levels of nearly 700,00, and it was much stronger than the ring-shaped power vessel that Lu Yin had been given.

After being protected by his universal armor, Lu Yin opened his eyes. However, all he could see was the shattered void. Each crack looked like it would give birth to a massive beast, and they spread out in all directions.

Lu Yin’s body was hurtling through the air, and he did not even know which direction he was heading.

Looking up, Lu Yin was able to see a black spot appear, and his expression changed. It was a woman.

His first thought was of Long Xi, and so he instantly stored his universal armor.

Wha--

There was a scream as Xia Taili came crashing down, on a collision course with Lu Yin. He quickly dodged. He saw that Xia Taili’s body was wrapped up within a power vessel that looked like aquatic plants.

She smashed into the ground with enough force to smash away all of the bark that had built up. The power vessel protecting her was very durable, and it prevented Xia Taili from being smashed to a pulp.

Xia Tai Li rubbed her head.

"It hurts! It hurts," she said. She looked up and saw Lu Yin. The two just stared at each other for a moment. “Pull me up."

Lu Yin stretched out a hand, and Xia Taili grabbed it and stood up. She stored her power vessel, and then just stared at Lu Yin. "Are you a man? I don’t know what you were thinking, but where’s the impressive man who pointed a spear at me back then? Gone already?"

Lu Yin felt helpless. "The force behind you was too much, and I wasn’t able to catch you."

Xia Taili snorted coldly. She dusted off her clothes and looked around. "Where are we?"

Lu Yin also looked around. "We shouldn’t be too far from the battlefield, but we’ve been separated from others."

"Thank you! I needed that reminder." Xia Taili blurted out sarcastically.

Lu Yin could understand what Wen Diyi's had felt, but he stayed silent.

"Okay, since we've been separated from the others, let's each go find our own teams,” Xia Taili suggested as she looked in a particular direction. “Later.”

She started to leave

Lu Yin spoke up, "The Dominion Realm is very dangerous, and many people die here after each Yuanlun Festival. It’s not safe for you to go on your own, so I’ll go with you."

"No need. I'll find my big brother," Xia Taili said.

Lu Yin insisted, "We’re both from one of the four ruling powers, but you’re still a girl, and it’s not safe to be alone here. I’ll protect you."

Xia Taili's face twitched and she stared at Lu Yin. "I said, no."

"You call me brother-in-law," Lu Yin said seriously with a sincere expression on his face.

Xia Taili gritted her teeth. "No! I said no! Don’t you understand what I’m saying?"

At this time, they felt a tremor from off in the distance. They looked at each other, and their expressions changed as they had seen a group of strange, desiccated creatures rushing towards them. In front of the creatures was a person. Was that Wen Diyi?

Wen Diyi saw Lu Yin and Xia Taili, and shouted loudly, "Run! It's dangerous."

Without any further nonsense, Lu Yin and Xia Taili both instinctively turned and fled away from the approaching horde. However, they quickly realized that the creatures were not only behind Wen Diyi, but were also in front of them. The creatures were actually everywhere. They were surrounded.

"We fell into a nest" Xia Taili's face turned ugly.

Lu Yin had fully released his domain, searching in all directions. Suddenly, he pointed to the right. “That way! Hurry!”

He then raised a hand and released a Vacuum Palm into the horde of desiccated creatures surrounding them.

The Vacuum Palm smashed a withered creature, but when it struck a second one, the creature’s withered sections recovered a great deal, and it also grew much larger. The most troublesome thing about the creatures in this place was that every attack against them had to exceed a certain limit, as if it did not, the creatures would simply become stronger.

The power vessel that looked like aquatic plants wrapped around Xia Taili's body once again. She shot forward in a brazen manner and attacked the desiccated creatures while releasing a growl.

More of the dried out creatures rushed over from the distance, and some of the desiccated bats appeared overhead.

Lu Yin frowned. They were in big trouble.

Wen Diyi arrived, but he led another large group of the creatures. "Hurry up and run, or else these things will exhaust us to death!”

More of the terrifying creatures appeared every moment.

Xia Taili was furious. "I was able to see that without your comments. Can you just stop talking?"

Wen Diyi felt helpless, "I didn’t want this, either."

Countless dried creatures surged over from all directions. They were surrounded by a massive number of the clawed creatures, and there was a swarm of the bats overhead which had a second head at the tip of their tails. All of them looked completely terrifying.

Xia Taili's power vessel that looked like an aquatic plant swept out all directions, but many of the creatures that were struck were simply empowered. Wen Diyi’s power vessel was a fan, and each time he swung the fan, a bone-eroding wind was released. Each attack was far more powerful than what he had revealed during the previous fight. The cursed wind released by the fan frequently eliminated the creatures’ flesh and blood, but other creatures were strengthened by the attacks.

Lu Yin also brought out an item, the giant mechanical right arm that he had Enhanced six times long ago at the cost of a million star essence. The strength of this arm approached that of an Envoy.

The truth was that this arm had become useless to Lu Yin, as his own physical strength was already able to threaten an Envoy, which meant that he was already more powerful than the mechanical right arm. He could at most muster a power level of 400,000, which was similar to Long Jue’s. However, in order to have a reason to be able to reveal such a level of strength, Lu Yin used the mechanical arm to sweep away a large swathe of the creatures.
