Star Odyssey

Chapter 1431: Revealed

Somewhere not too far away, Bai Shaohong's team was not calm. The Dong twins had already become cautious of Shang Qing, and Bai Shaohong was no different. The Junior Progenitor had even secretly asked Yun Tingting to keep an eye on Shang Qing.

Shang Qing remained as calm as ever. So what if they were wary of him? He was their enemy, and they would discover the truth sooner or later.

At least for the moment, Bai Shaohong would not attack.

This was all thanks to Long Tian, who had revealed his innate gift of space, which had left Bai Shaohong feeling quite envious.

A bit in front of the two teams, Liu Tianmu and Unseen Light had met. They had both been sent flying in this direction, and had finally met each other.

"Ten people were sent here, but only a few of us managed to get into the Dominion Realm. No wonder Arch-Elder Zen told us that not everything could be forced," Unseen Light commented.

Liu Tianmu looked around. Suddenly, a massive desiccated creature pupped up from beneath her feet. It burst upwards like an earthworm, only to be chopped to pieces by her sword.

"The biggest thing right now is that we got separated from our teams, and now I don’t even have a chance to participate,." Unseen Light complained.

Liu Tianmu was a cold person, and typically did not say much. "If you don't know where to go, then just wait."

There were many of the dry creatures in this place, and a group of them would periodically rush over to attack the humans.

After half a day, Unseen Light frowned. "It's been an hour, but no more of the withered creatures have attacked. Something’s not right."

He then unleashed his domain to envelope the surrounding area. The domain continued to expand, but then suddenly, Unseen Light’s expression froze. "There are a bunch of the dried up creatures moving over to the right. What happened over there?"

Liu Tianmu stood up. “Let’s go.”

It didn't take long for the two youths to find the dry creatures. All of them were traveling further to the right, as though summoned by something.

Before long, they saw a great number of corpses of the desiccated creatures, and the bodies trailed off to the south. The ground was riddled with marks of battle and the piles of dead bark. Of the various marks, the ones from a sword were the most concerning to Liu Tianmu.

Her eyes flashed. "These are marks from Liu Hao's sword, so the team from Shenwu’s Sky should be heading south."

Up a long ways ahead of the two, a large number of the withered creatures were roaring. Xia Shenfei was still drunk and floating through the air. He was followed by Wu Taibai and Yao Xuan, and the three were traveling south.

As they traveled, they slaughtered countless dry creatures, but finally, they were approaching the location indicated on the map.

Since Xia Shenfei was still unconscious, Xia Taili was not the only member of this team with a map. Wu Taibai had also been given a map in order to avoid any accidents.

At this moment, Xia Taili was missing, and Wu Taibai's map was the only thing guiding them towards their destination.

An attack from a Divine Martial Armor shot out, and it shattered a massive dry creature. Wu Taibai dropped his hand. There were corpses everywhere, and all of the creatures that had caught up to their team had been wiped out.

Yao Xuan gasped and turned to look at Wu Taibai.

Wu Taibai looked over as well. "Brother Yao Xuan is powerful. It’s rare to come across a peer with your strength."

Yao Xuan frowned. This person was deliberately pretending not to recognize Yao Xuan, which was very strange. Wu Taibai was clearly someone from Shenwu’s Sky, yet did not seem to care about the fact that Yao Xuan was a trespasser.

"Brother Wu's Divine Martial Armor is also very impressive," Yao Xuan said.

After the two exchanged polite nothings, Yao Xuan fell silent and they group continued southwards.

Further ahead of them, there was a bumpy section of the branch that happened at a Y in the branch. The terrain in this region was rugged, and the bumps formed what seemed to be gentle mountains. The sky was also hidden by thick leaves, which gave the region a bleak appearance.

A slender woman stood in a high place in his region, and she was staring off into the distance. She was Wang Su.

When the barrier in the ancient battlefield had been shattered, the resulting explosion had blasted Wang Su all the way to this point, which placed her far ahead of all of the others.

She looked at her map, and her eyes flashed. "It's here."

She jumped down.

The maps that everyone was using were guiding people to just past the rough section at the Y in the branch. Wang Su had already noticed the entrance. She did not know what her destination was, but she entered into the depths of the branch, which was where the maps had been guiding everyone.

Suddenly, Wang Su jumped back out of the hole that appeared in the fork in the branch. She moved to the side while still in mid-air, and a green liquid appeared where she had just been, and it continued shooting far into the distance.

She turned to see a caterpillar the size of a hill. It looked like a caterpillar that would typically be no larger than a finger that would live and wriggle across a tree. However, this was a caterpillar that lived on the Mother Tree, and it was the size of a small mountain. Its massive black eyes were locked onto Wang Su. The bug opened its mouth and spat out more of the green liquid.

This green liquid was able to warp the void and corrode even the air.

Wang Su frowned. A terrible disgust filled her eyes.

The void twisted and a sharp wind flickered through the area. The caterpillar’s body was cut, and it started violently thrashing, which only seemed to gross Wang Su out even more. She unleashed a star energy attack from her palm, and it blasted out before her and annihilated the bug. Only after it was completely gone did she let out a sigh of relief.

No matter who they were, anyone would be disturbed to encounter such a gross bug, let alone one that was so big.

When she looked down, she was able to see that the caterpillar had not been alone. More of the bugs had sensed her from the distance, and they had all started wriggling towards her. They would soon surround her.

Wang Su's eyes went cold. Her pupils fluctuated between dilating and shrinking, and then, suddenly, invisible waves erupted from her body and radiated out in all directions, sweeping over the bugs.

The caterpillars all stared at her in a clearly frightened manner, and then they all turned and left. It was as though they had seen something terrible.

After all the bugs were all gone, Wang Su felt relieved. They were truly revolting.

She lowered her head to look into the hole in the branch, and then jumped in without any hesitation. She was entering the location that was indicated on her map.

One day later, Xia Shenfei’s team arrived at the same fork in the branch.

There was a thud as Xia Shenfei fell to the ground. His head slammed into the ground, and he woke up with a scream.

"Who? Who hit me?" Xia Shenfei jumped up, clearly angry. His face was flushed, and though his eyes were open, they still danced about. It was clear that he was still drunk.

His body was unstable, and if one compared him to Bai Shaohong or Long Tian, Xia Shenfei seemed like a rather normal cultivator.

However, no one would dare underestimate Xia Shenfei. He was Shenwu’s Sky’s most outstanding youth, and he had succeeded in cultivating a technique that no one had managed to master for thousands of years. He had also mastered secret techniques and had a strange innate gift. No one actually knew just how strong the young man was, as even when he had fought during the Yuanlun Festival, the four who had qualified to become the Junior Progenitors had merely tied with each other.

Wu Taibai felt rather helpless when he saw Xia Shenfei in this state. “We’ve arrived."

Xia Shenfei blinked and stared blankly at Wu Taibai. "Hey, what's going on? Wait, Wu Taibai? When did you get back? Didn't you betray us?"

Wu Taibai replied, "We've arrived at the place in the Dominion Realm that was indicated on the map."

He raised a hand, and water formed that then splashed into Xia Shenfei's face.

Xia Shenfei was drenched by the cold water, and it finally woke him up. He vigorously shook his head and looked back at Wu Taibai before looking over at Liu Hao and Yao Xuan. After that, he immediately asked, "Where's my sister?"

"I don't know where she fell," Wu Taibai replied.

Xia Shenfei instantly grew furious and he grabbed the front of Wu Taibai's shirt. "You dropped my sister? That’s how you treat my sister."

Liu Hao stood next to Wu Taibai, and he drew his sword and stopped Xia Shenfei. There was a pulse of star energy, and Xia Shenfei was shaken back a few steps, and even nearly fell. "We ran into an ancient battlefield, and when there was an explosion in that place, everyone was thrown in different directions, and we were separated.”

Xia Shenfei massaged his temples. "I really can't drink so much of that Baihuaxing wine. It had a strange look that seemed more like poison, and drinking it even felt like drinking poison. I’ve even got a hangover."

Yao Xuan shot an odd look at Xia Shenfei. This was not a matter of having a hangover. From the moment that Yao Xuan had first stepped foot onto the Junior Progenitor Planet, this guy had been drunk most of the time. He had only been sober a few times, and he seemed completely unreliable.

"We lost my sister? What about the others? Where's that bastard Bai Shaohong? Also, where’s that old man Long Tian and that ice cube, Wang Su?" Xia Shenfei asked.

Liu Hao replied, "I don't know, and I don't need to know."

Xia Shenfei rubbed his temples once again. "Then, who are those two people following us? You should know."

The faces of Wu Taibai and the other two all changed as they whirled around; someone was following them?

A distance back, Liu Tianmu and Unseen Light’s hearts stopped. The next moment, Xia Shenfei lifted his head. It seemed as though he peered through the void itself, and his eyes locked onto the two youths.

"I've been seen," Unseen Light said quietly.

As soon he finished speaking, sword qi swept through the air in front of the two. Liu Hao had attacked.

Liu Tianmu moved forward. She held her sword and counter-attacked. She used the Thirteen Swords’ First Sword.

The two sword qis clashed and canceled each other out. The collision erupted and a shockwave blasted out in all directions.

At this moment, a large amount of a green liquid fell down from above, targeting Xia Shenfei and his team, as well as Liu Tianmu.

Xia Shenfei looked up to see a mountain-sized bug with its mouth open. "That’s disgusting."

As he spoke, he clenched his right hand into a fist and released a punch. Divine Martial Armor appeared over his body and the energy shot out. It pierced through the green liquid and also through the bug. The massive body shattered, but it just caused more of the green liquid to rain down.

Unseen Light quickly blocked the liquid with his domain, and at the same time, Yao Xuan also swept it away with his spiritual force. In the end, no one was covered by the green liquid.

Liu Hao charged towards Liu Tianmu and ordered, "Pull back."

Liu Tianmu looked up at him. "I've long since wanted to trade pointers with the Liu family’s most talented descendant."

When she spoke, the two were already less than 100 meters apart.

Liu Hao's swordsmanship was strange, though it did carry a sturdy strength and an impressive level of skill. His sword stabbed out, and the attack caused people to feel like someone was stabbing their back. Liu Tianmu instantly responded with the Thirteen Swords’ Tenth Sword: Star Slayer.

There was a bang as the two blades smashed into each other. Sword qi swept out for thousands of miles, and it tore through the piles of bark that had accumulated atop the branch. Each strand of sword qi sliced through with a sharpness that would cause anyone’s scalp to go numb, Yao Xuan and Wu Taibai, who were watching. The two had to retreat in the face of this overwhelming sword qi.

This was not because they were scared, but rather because standing up to the shockwave was not worth the effort needed.

Xia Shenfei exclaimed, "What an amazing girl! Right, those two seem to know each other."

No one replied. Wu Taibai and Yao Xuan did not know what Liu Tianmu had decided to call herself in the Perennial World, so they could not freely comment on this matter.

Liu Hao had also wanted to fight Liu Tianmu for a long time, but this was not the proper moment. "You and I are representing the Liu family in the Dominion Realm. Do you really want to fight me?"

Liu Tianmu's blade swayed against Liu Hao's sword qi. Human and sword became one; sword and domain merged, and then human and domain became one. This was the Fourth Sword, and it swept out sideways.

Liu Hao's eyes lit up. He had not yet used any sort of powerful sword technique, yet he had still been able to shatter Liu Tianmu’s Fourth Sword, and had slashed through the Tenth Sword. When it came to swordsmanship, he outclassed Liu Tianmu.

"You shouldn't have blocked my attack," Liu Tianmu said solemnly.

Liu Hao shouted, "This opportunity belongs to only the four Junior Progenitors! Anyone who stands in their way is an enemy! You can’t change this. If you go down there, you’ll die. Pull back!"

Behind Liu Tianmu, Unseen Light had not yet made any moves. It was clear that there were four people in the other party, yet only Liu Hao had been sent to deal with Unseen Light and Liu Tianmu. If Unseen Light took part, then he might instigate the other three with Liu Hao to join the fight.
