Star Odyssey

Chapter 2967: Attacking The Scourge

At this time, a sharp attack suddenly erupted behind Lu Yin. He turned around to see a white light approaching from the distance. There was a swordsman behind the attack, quickly moving forward while passing through the void. The white-clothed man’s sword seemed to be the center of the entire universe, and it drew everyone’s eyes to it.

"Whitecloud’s Kong Tianzhao!" Shao Yin growled through gritted teeth. He could not believe what he was seeing. He could not accept that, while the Aeternals were plotting against Whitecloud, Whitecloud had actually counterattacked, targeting the Scourge. Had they gone crazy?

High overhead, the cosmic door that Lu Yin and the others had passed through quivered as peak powerhouses suddenly emerged from it. These were the leaders of the Five Spirits Alliance, as well as the Luna Alliance’s Yue Shen, Moon Fairy, and Moon Ghost. All three leaders of the Luna Alliance were female, and they all glared at the Scourge as soon as it entered their eyes.

Yue Shen was supposed to be dead, as was the leader of the Fire Spirit Tribe, but both had appeared at this moment.

At this moment, even a moron would understand that the Aeternals had been deceived. Whitecloud had known about the conspiracy against them from the very beginning, but instead of exposing anything, they had taken advantage of the conspiracy to launch a counterattack against the Scourge.

The Lord of Lightning was the vanguard, while Kong Tianzhao protected the rear. The Five Spirits Alliance and the Luna Alliance had both arrived as well, but there was still more to come. From yet another direction, a dazzling golden light blossomed, accompanied by a roar. Sovereign Dou Sheng had arrived.

Eleven sequence powerhouses had arrived to attack the Scourge.

Lu Yin was stunned. This was the extent of Whitecloud’s influence. It was no wonder why Aeternus had not wanted to wage open war against Whitecloud. It was no wonder why Jiang Qingyue had been able to behave so brazenly in the Sixth Mainland, confident that the Aeternals would never dare to do anything to her. This was too impressive.

While the Heavens Sect had a large number of Progenitors, they had very few Sequence Progenitors, and the Heavens Sect could not compare to the invasion force that Whitecloud had gathered to attack the Scourge.

While it was clear that not all the sequence powerhouses belonged to Whitecloud, there was no doubt that everyone had come to the Scourge because of the Lord of Lightning’s influence.

No one had imagined that the day would come when the Scourge would face such a powerful enemy.

Zhong Pan’s hoarse voice shouted, "The last person to invade the Scourge was that one who couldn't be killed.

"This is serious! Everyone, do your best."

Woof!

While it was clear that he was in the Scourge, Lu Yin still had the illusion that the Aeternals were surrounded at this moment.

Far away, lightning shattered the remaining six towers that belonged to the Seven Skygods. The Lord of Lightning unleashed an unparalleled, absolutely domineering power as he rushed straight towards the black Mother Tree. The man was determined to fight the True God himself.

Kong Tianzhao had become one with his sword, while Sovereign Dou Sheng was a peerless master. Battles broke out everywhere in the sky above and on the Scourge below.

All across the Scourge, Progenitor-level corpse kings charged forward, much like moths flying to a flame. In the past, when humans and Aeternals had fought, it had looked as though the humans were the moths drawn to the flame, but at the moment, that impression was reversed.

Zhong Pan, Dual Bladeform, Da Hei, and the rest of the True God Guard Captains let their divine energy surge out of their bodies as they shot forward to attack the experts from the Five Spirits Alliance and the Luna Alliance. Lu Yin did the same. The captains could only face this level of experts by relying on divine energy. None of the captains could actually compare to a true sequence expert, but the Scourge was being invaded.

The Origin Universe had driven Aeternus out, while at this moment, the Aeternals needed to drive the outsider powerhouses out from the Scourge.

Skydog barked as he raced towards Sovereign Dou Sheng.

The Sovereign raised his long golden cudgel and slammed it down hard. With one swing, he eliminated three Progenitor-level corpse kings and destroyed a tower. The humans who had betrayed their own species and taken refuge with Aeternus were horrified by what they saw. Half of the individuals who had tried to block Sovereign Dou Sheng’s attack had been killed by it.

Skydog slammed into the Sovereign, and Sovereign Dou Sheng's cudgel swept across, striking the dog head on with a loud bang.

Lu Yin looked over and saw that Skydog had been hit, and the small body was sent crashing into the ground below. However, the dog got back up like nothing at all had happened and barked as he raced straight back towards Sovereign Dou Sheng.

This shattered Lu Yin's understanding. That dog’s body was so small, and he did not appear to possess any power. So how was Skydog able to ignore Sovereign Dou Sheng’s powerful attacks?

Far away, a sword blade flickered, causing Lu Yin's scalp to go numb. He saw the heads of several Progenitor-level corpse kings go flying. One of them had even undergone the Corpse King Transformation, but it had still failed to block the sword.

That was the strength of Kong Tianzhao. When the Origin Universe’s Earth had been attacked, the man had killed Ju Ji with a single strike of his sword. In the Ice Spirit Domain, Lu Yin had spoken with Jiang Qingyue for a time, and from her, he had learned that her master, Kong Tianzhao, claimed that a single sword was enough to face any enemy. One sword was enough to determine life and death. It was a simple philosophy.

The man’s sword felt like it had become the center of the universe, and it flickered with a bright light, each attack ending spectacularly.

Meeting an enemy who could force him to attack a second time was not just a dream for Kong Tianzhao, but possibly also the day he would die.

Progenitor Xi appeared, a sword in her hand, and her movements relaxed.

Kong Tianzhao’s sword flashed, moving as if it were stirring up the void. Lu Yin did not see any sequence particles, but this particular attack seemed incredibly difficult to deal with, no matter who faced it.

In front of the swordsman, Progenitor Xi looked up. "Your sword is incredibly pure, but it’s too extreme."

The moment she spoke, her sword laid sideways and then danced around its own hilt, acting like a spinning wheel. Kong Tianzhao’s sword struck the hit of the spinning blade, close to the center of where the movement began. There was the soft sound of an impact, and the void shattered like glass, spatial tears spreading out from the point of impact.

Progenitor Xi was driven back by the attack, but she was unharmed by Kong Tianzhao’s blade.

The man appeared to be unfazed as he stepped forward. Progenitor Xi responded in kind, and the two swords clashed again. A shockwave spread out from the point of impact, opening the Hollow.

No one could be seen where the two swords clashed. All that was visible were two flashing white lights that cut through the void and sundered the ground.

The long golden cudgel swept across the world, obliterating everything in an attempt to destroy the Scourge itself.

Lightning flashed and spread across the stars above the Scourge. It looked like the Aeternals were about to meet their end.

Lu Yin blazed with divine energy as he faced Moon Fairy.

The woman gave the impression of a banished immortal descending to earth. It looked as though she was clothed in moonlight itself. She looked young and was quite stunning. Even Lu Yin was taken with her appearance.

It was also clear that Moon Fairy did not take Ye Bo seriously. A True God Guard Captain was not even a sequence expert, and they lacked the strength to face those at Moon Fairy’s level. If not for the fact that they were invading the Scourge, Moon Fairy was confident that she could easily kill Ye Bo, even if he did use divine energy.

Divine power was capable of resisting sequence particles, but how much divine energy could a True God Guard Captain have?

Lu Yin's divine energy acted like armor. As soon as he used Heaven’s Sight, he saw Moon Fairy continuously use her sequence particles. They shot towards Lu Yin but were all eliminated by his blazing divine energy. He retaliated with a punch.

Moon Fairy’s expression chilled. Moonlight appeared and formed a river that flowed beneath her feet. Her bare feet stepped onto the river, and a white halo appeared behind her. Everything was illuminated by the moonlight.

"Fairy Moon - Water Reflection shines on the river." Lu Yin seemed to hear a voice speak these words while, at the same time, an overwhelming attack of slashes of moonlight slammed into him. Each slash was powerful enough to kill a Progenitor, and the assault filled the sky and covered the ground in a terrifying attack.

There was no way for Ye Bo to stand against a sequence powerhouse like Moon Fairy on his own. Lu Yin could only desperately use as much divine energy as possible to resist the attacks and offset the woman's sequence particles.

Moon Fairy mocked him, "How long can your divine energy last?"

Although they were fighting in the Scourge, which was filled with lakes and rivers of divine energy, that divine energy needed to first be absorbed by an individual. Just because there was divine energy present, it did not mean that it could be used without restrictions.

Moon Fairy’s slashing attack could exhaust the True God Guard Captain’s divine energy and kill him as soon as that happened.

The other True God Guard Captains were each facing similar challenges. The ones even worse off were the human traitors who had taken refuge with Aeternus. Even several Progenitor-level powerhouses were killed.

The Scourge proved to not be as safe as they had believed.

The most eye-catching person in the entire Scourge at the moment was the Lord of Lightning. He had sent a terrifying blast of lightning at the black Mother Tree.

The earth shattered, and the endless divine energy struggled to stop the attack.

The lightning was like a sharp sword that was about to pierce the black Mother Tree.

Lu Yin watched, noting that the Lord of Lightning was truly ruthless. The Aeternals had plotted against him, and he had reacted by openly counterattacking and invading the Scourge. There had been no discussion or announcement. This was a domineering action.

However, the Lord of Lightning had invaded by relying on a large number of sequence powerhouses. If the Heavens Sect possessed an equal number of Sequence Progenitors, Lu Yin would also have the boldness to invade the Scourge.

"Yong Hong, get out here! Don't you want something from me? I'm right here!" A deafening shout erupted from within the lightning, coming from the Lord of Lightning. He was challenging the True God.

A voice replied from the direction of the black Mother Tree. "Jiang Feng, do you intend to incite open war with my Aeternus?"

Lu Yin's expression changed. Jiang Feng was Jiang Chen and Jiang Qingyue’s father. freёweɓnovel.com

"I've brought what you want! If you have the ability, come here and get it!" The Lord of Lightning’s shout caused the Scourge to tremble.

"You underestimate me and my Aeternals!"

"You underestimate my Whitecloud City!"

"You are no match for me. You are bringing disaster to your Whitecloud City this day."

"We came here to die. Show me how you madmen are better than us." That said, the Lord of Lightning released another flash of lightning at the black Mother Tree. The tree swayed, and the waterfall of divine energy arced through the sky and clashed with the lightning. At the impact, both the waterfall and the temple beneath it were shattered. fr𝒐m freewebnσvel.cøm.

Endless lightning continued onwards towards the black Mother Tree, and the divine energy waterfall swept out with another arc.

The duel between the lightning and the dark-red divine energy separated heaven and earth.

Lu Yin was shocked. Was the Lord of Lightning really the True God’s rival? How? While the Lord of Lightning was undoubtedly very powerful, he should not be at the True God’s level.

The Scourge was filled with outsider powerhouses, but even so, the Lord of Lightning had a shocking level of strength. He was far more powerful than what Lu Yin expected. It was possible that many people had underestimated the man.

However, there was also no way that the Lord of Lightning was someone overcoming Dukkha. His own words had made that clear.

How large of a gap existed between those overcoming Dukkha and those beneath them? Lu Yin stared into the distance.

In front of him, Moon Fairy frowned. How did her opponent have the leisure to watch someone else’s battle? This thought drove the woman to increase the intensity of her attack as she pushed to consume more of Ye Bo’s divine energy.

Lu Yin returned to his senses and turned to look at his opponent. "You aren’t done yet?"

Moon Fairy’s eyebrows rose, and her expression fell. This man was blatantly antagonizing her.

Even more slashes struck at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin shook his head, not saying anything more. He had spoken without thinking, and he regretted his words the moment he said them. If anyone had been listening, they might have insinuated something from the comment.

For the moment, Lu Yin needed to focus on the fight.

How could Moon Fairy possibly consume all of Lu Yin’s divine energy? For years, he had done almost nothing but absorb divine energy from the Scourge without using it. His reserves were something that none of the other True God Guard Captains could compare to. If Lu Yin were willing to release even more of his divine energy, he might be able to give his opponent an unpleasant surprise.

However, the battle should not last for much longer.

While Lu Yin's divine energy was able to endure, the other True God Guard Captains were unable to do the same.

Da Hei faced the leader of the Lightning Spirit Tribe. While this individual used the same kind of sequence particles as the Lord of Lightning, the leader of the Lightning Spirit Tribe was not the Lord of Lightning’s equal. Even so, he could do more than what most people could comprehend.

As the lightning roared, Da Hei's divine energy was continuously consumed. He was quickly reaching his limits.

The same was true for Stone Ghost. He was facing Yue Shen, who seemed to have deliberately targeted Stone Ghost. Yue Shen was also an Array Grandmaster, but her mastery of lockbreaking exceeded Stone Ghost’s. Lu Yin clearly saw that Stone Ghost’s sourcebox array was being eroded. It was also close to its limits.
