Star Odyssey

"Crown Prince Gui Qian, you’re seeking death!" Long Tian roared, his eyes filled with a killing rage.

The prince looked at Long Tian in a mocking manner. "Junior Progenitor Long, you are really an idiot. The person who slipped away from you in the Voidsoul Palace was Long Qi."

Long Tian was caught completely off guard. "What did you say?"

Crown Prince Gui Qian sneered. His body then cracked and reverted back to a black mist, and he turned to flee out of the chamber while dragging the leaf with him.

He had just wanted to stir things up so that no one would be able to chase him.

Out of reflex, Lu Yin attacked with a Vacuum Palm. The attack smashed through the black mist and struck the ground.

Crown Prince Gui Qian was using a bizarre technique, and his body had already vanished as he tried to escape. However, he was suddenly trapped by four beams of light that appeared from the void. Off in the distance, Wang Su’s eyes held a terrifying light as she used the secret technique Confinement.

The black mist that was Crown Prince Gui Qian roiled, and the churning caused the void to warp. He erupted with his full strength at this moment. He had already opened his lower meridian point, and he managed to break free of Wang Su's secret technique by utilizing death energy, and he rushed outside.

"You’re looking to die!" Long Tian growled in a low voice. He made a grabbing motion with his right hand and reached for the void some distance away. A palm appeared from the void in front of Crown Prince Gui Qian, and it shot through the void and smashed into the prince’s death energy.

Death energy was strange, but Long Tian's innate gift was not a simple one. Crown Prince Gui Qian was forced back.

Lu Yin was fully aware of how most people feared death energy from the bottom of their hearts. It was strange and difficult to predict, and it was impossible to counter through normal means. If not for this, Crown Prince Gui Qian would never have the confidence to escape. However, he had been too confident.

Four of the people present were Junior Progenitors. They represented the four ruling powers that reigned over the entire Perennial World. Each one of them had abilities to prevent the prince from immediately escaping.

Crown Prince Gui Qian instantly regretted this choice. He should not have revealed himself so early.

Shang Qing disappeared, and he suddenly reappeared in front of Crown Prince Gui Qian. He grabbed for the leaf with a hand, but Crown Prince Gui Qian just sneered. He was being attacked by the four Junior Progenitors, so he had no intention of hanging on to the leaf. He threw it towards Unseen Light and the others. “Here, trespassers, for you!"

Dong He immediately used the Yu Secret Art, but Yao Xuan was not slow to react this time. Just as Dong He was about to make his move, he was bombarded with spiritual force that nearly knocked him unconscious. At this moment, Lu Yin used the Yu Secret Art himself, and he managed to grab the leaf once more.

Long Tian's eyes lit up. "Long Qi, take that leaf away! I’ll act as though nothing ever happened in the Voidsoul Palace!"

Lu Yin held the leaf and looked at it oddly. What was this? Wasn’t this the same thing that Mister Mu had used to strengthen Lu Yin’s body to the limit in the hidden dimension with the golden ocean? Only that had been a branch, and Lu Yin held a leaf at the moment. Was this really Origin Matter?

Bao Shaohong’s mind raced, and then he suddenly asked, "Brother Long, have you investigated the members of your clan?"

These words startled many people, and even Wang Su and Xia Shenfei were taken aback.

Long Tian's eyes grew frosty. "Brother Bai, what is that supposed to mean? Are you saying I don’t know my own clansmen? Even if you want to get the Origin Matter, you should still have some limits. This is unbecoming of the Celestial Frost Sect’s Junior Progenitor."

Bai Shaohong stared at Lu Yin in a serious manner. "Yu Chen once tried to deal with Long Qi when he was with Humility’s Gate. At that time, he was the one who helped Long Qi turn the situation around."

As he spoke, Bai Shaohong pointed at Unseen Light

Long Tian's expression changed. Anger could be seen, as well as killing intent, and yet there was no surprise. Long Tian was no fool, and he had already started to grow suspicious when Yuhua Mavis had been exposed as a trespasser. In the past, when Long Qi had revealed the three Guan brothers as Redbacks, he had received help from Yuhua Mavis, yet had claimed to have no connection to her. There was no understanding as to why she would have helped Long Qi move against the Guan brothers.

The excuse Long Qi had given had been barely acceptable.

However, the moment that Crown Prince Gui Qian had revealed that Long Qi had been the one to snatch away a portion of the inheritance in the Voidsoul Palace, Long Tian had become almost completely certain that Long Qi was a trespasser, though he could not figure out how Long Qi had managed to deceive the White Dragon Clan and entered the Dominion Realm. While Long Qi had married Long Xi, it was impossible for a member of a branch family to improve so quickly, even if they had received an inheritance from the Sword Monument and received an inheritance from Semi-Progenitor Kui Luo.

After all, each of the four Junior Progenitors had received an inheritance from a full Progenitor.

Long Tian had not said anything in order to trap Long Qi. After all, Long Qi was the one in possession of the leaf. Long Tian had not expected Bai Shaohong to expose the matter.

The fight for the Origin Matter suddenly took a turn. Everyone stared at the leaf in Lu Yin’s hand as they ran Bai Shaohong’s words through their minds; could this person really be a trespasser?

Long Xi's face went pale as she stared at Lu Yin. Her amber eyes were filled with shock and disappointment.

Lu Yin still wanted to try to defend himself, "Bai Shaohong, so you just know who’s a trespasser and who isn’t? Junior Progenitor Wang was the one who brought Yuhua Mavis and Unseen Light, while Junior Progenitor Xia brought Yao Xuan. Why are you targeting me? Because I’m from the White Dragon Clan? The princess can attest to the fact that she personally tested my bloodline."

Everyone turned to look at Long Xi.

Lu Yin also turned to look at her, but at the same time, he put the leaf into his cosmic ring.

Bai Shaohong immediately shouted, "TAKE IT OUT!"

As he shouted, star energy shot out and formed a palm that attacked Lu Yin.

Lu Yin took out the ring-shaped power vessel, and it blocked Bai Shaohong's palm. Lu Yin loudly retorted, "Bai Shaohong, are you trying to rob us? Long Tian, such simple words turned you stupid! Idiot! Block him!"

Long Tian came to as though waking from a dream, and he stabbed his spear at Bai Shaohong, though it was completely a reflex.

Bai Shaohong shouted, "Shang Qing, catch Long Qi!"

With that, the ground trembled and a beam of light struck Lu Yin and the entirety of the power vessel protecting him. This was the sourcebox array that had been used to rouse Wang Su and others. This was Bai Shaohong's backup.

This sourcebox array was powerful, and it was able to affect others as well, and it put them at a disadvantage for a moment. In particular, Liu Tianmu was affected, as she was still in a weakened state from using the Thirteenth Sword earlier. She was unable to resist Liu Hao's swordsmanship, especially his Sword Spirit. The sword pierced her shoulder and pinned her to the wall.

Dong Shan and Dong He joined forces to fight back Unseen Light and Yao Xuan by using their Mountain and Sea Banner.

Since Lu Yin had managed to seize the leaf, Wang Su and Xia Shenfei were no longer entangled with each other, and the two rushed at Lu Yin from different directions.

Yao Xuan glanced over at Liu Tianmu and saw that she was in danger. He then saw Wang Su and Xia Shenfei who were both rushing for Lu Yin, and he yelled, "If you don't do something, we’re all going to die!"

Yao Xuan did not care about Liu Tianmu, but only by joining forces would any of them have a chance to leave the Perennial World.

Yao Xuan's words forced many people to instinctively look at Lu Yin; was this directed at him?

Lu Yin stayed within the protection of the power vessel. He looked perfectly innocent.

Wang Su and Xia Shenfei were quickly approaching him, and further back, Long Tian was still holding Bai Shaohong back, but anxiety could be seen in Long Tian’s eyes.

The ring-shaped power vessel was not enough to stop a Junior Progenitor. After all, such a thing had been given to Lu Yin, so which of the Junior Progenitors would not have a special power vessel?

Lu Yin watched as the two Junior Progenitors drew closer. In the distance, Long Xi turned pale. “RUN!"

Wang Su stretched a hand out. She held a small knife in her hand, and it glinted with a strange light. It pierced through the protection of Lu Yin’s power vessel, and the knife and the ring both shattered. Wang Su’s hand was about to grab Lu Yin.

Lu Yin narrowed his eyes and he moved his fingers. Suddenly, a slight flicker of a blade appeared behind Lu Yin, and a knife attacked Wang Su. It was the Xia family’s Triple Blade Will. Progenitor Chen had been summoned.

Wang Su had not expected anyone else to appear. The flickering blade caused her feel a sense of danger. She instinctively used the Four Arts: Celestial Blade.

Lu Yin moved to the side by using the Ce Secret Art. Crown Prince Gui Qian had already exposed Lu Yin’s power, and while Lu Yin did not know how the prince had found out, the fact of the matter was that there was no longer any need to hide things.

The summoned Progenitor Chen held a knife and slashed it at Wang Su once more.

At this same time, another Progenitor Chen appeared, flickering between reality and illusion, and he threw a palm attack at Xia Shenfei.

Xia Shenfei was able to clearly see the face of the summoned Progenitor Chen, and his pupils instantly shrank to pinpricks. "Ancestor Xia Shang?"

Wang Su heard his words, and was shocked. "What did you just say?"

The illusory Progenitor Chen smashed a hand into Xia Shenfei, who took a few steps back. The Junior Progenitor blurted out, "That's my Xia family’s ancestor, Xia Shang."

"Progenitor Chen from back then?" Wang Su was shocked, and her scalp went numb.

There were still Progenitors in the Perennial World, and more than just one. It was a place with far more inheritances than the Fifth Mainland, and yet the invincible Progenitor Chen of the past had also been able to shock the people of this universe.

The horror of Progenitor Chen had not been just limited to the Fifth Mainland. The Sixth Mainland had not dared to even record him in their history, and the Perennial World had always held the Progenitor in high esteem. He had been a genius, the likes of which had not been seen again throughout countless years. His story was the history of the Xia family. He had been the strongest Progenitor to ever live.

No one could have imagined that they would be forced to face off against Progenitor Chen in the Dominion Realm.

Xia Shenfei lifted his head and looked some distance away, where he saw Shang Qing’s calm expression. The last stream of qi was still swirling around Shang Qing's body. "Is it you?"

Shang Qing floated in the air. He looked like an immortal. At this moment, the true power of the Tri-Yang Ancestral Qi Technique showed itself. He was Shang Qing, a supreme talent who had been cultivated by the Fifth Mainland’s Hall of Honor. If Lu Yin had not been born, Shang Qing would have stood above all of his peers in the Fifth Mainland. He held a status similar to that of the Perennial World’s Junior Progenitors, or possibly even higher. After all, there was no one in the Fifth Mainland who could measure up to Shang Qing.

During ZENITH, Shang Qing alone had been enough to face off against Lu Yin, Wu Taibai, and Wang Yi. All three of them had to admit that Shang Qing had the strength to compare to a Junior Progenitor. Once he managed to open his three meridian points, the power of the Progenitor Chen clones and Progenitor Hui that Shang Qing would be able to summon would be even more terrifying, as Progenitor Chen and Progenitor Hui had both definitely opened all three of their meridian points.

How powerful had Progenitor Chen and Progenitor Hui been when they had opened all three of their meridian points? Just the thought was enough to send someone into a cold sweat.

Although the four Junior Progenitors had been given that title, it did not mean that they were guaranteed to become Progenitors in the future, nor that they were invincible within their realm, as Progenitor Chen had been.

No one doubted that Progenitor Chen had been invincible among his peers.

Unfortunately, the clones of Progenitor Chen that Shang Qing was able to summon had no intelligence, which was the greatest flaw of the Tri-Yang Technique.

There was a boom, and Wang Su was forced a step back. She stared at the Progenitor Chen that held a dagger. Wang Su felt extremely envious at this moment. She was facing the historical and invincible Progenitor Chen of the past. According to records, Progenitor Chen had been a terrifying existence who had possessed nine clones that had each become a Progenitor on their own. He had killed multiple Progenitors, and had been one of the most impressive powerhouses in history.

The illusory Progenitor Chen continued attacking Xia Shenfei, and the Junior Progenitor’s expression completely changed, and his body started trembling from rage. He glared at Shang Qing. "What the hell did you do? How dare you insult my ancestor!"

His body flashed and split into nine clones, and each and every one of them was shrouded with the Divine Martial Armor as they charged at Shang Qing.

Lu Yin's back went cold when he saw this; nine clones? Just as he had assumed, Progenitor Chen had not been the one to create the Nine Clones Secret Technique. Instead, it was something that had come from this universe.
