Star Odyssey

Chapter 3223: Four Locks Array

Lu Yin stood in the sky and simply allowed Emperor Shang's punch to land. At Lu Yin’s side, Lightstream reviewed the past. He was trying to see how Whiteless God had attacked.

Unfortunately, Lu Yin ended up being disappointed. He could not see any attack from Whiteless God.

He heard Blackless God’s voice call out. "Whiteless God is extremely small. Her sequence particle is the Law of Shrinking, which allows her to shrink down to nothingness. To her, what is visible to the human eye is as vast as an entire universe. There's no way for you to see her.

"If you want to deal with her, then you need to force her out first.

"On top of that, she uses the Eight Diagram Formation, which can trap someone just as powerful as her. Do not get trapped by it."

Lu Yin suddenly had a headache. Any one of the Seven Skygods was hard to deal with, and he once again wondered where True God had managed to find so many incredible cultivators.

To be honest, if Lu Yin had known about the depths of Aeternus’s true strength from the start, which included the Seven Skygods, the Three Pillars and Six Skies, the six Scourges, and their countless experts, he might not have been willing to fight against such a monstrous organization. In fact, Lu Yin might have even been tempted by Blackless God's offer in the past.

Even the Great Sovereign had felt despair, and she had been willing to sacrifice everything for just one chance to defeat True God with her Six Paths of Reincarnation Realm. How could Lu Yin have not been similarly overcwith hopelessness if he were confronted with the truth soon after he started cultivating?

A person's belief and will would grow gradually. Such things were not innately born with a person.

If Lu Yin had not lived through the process of unifying the Outerverse, fighting against the Daynight clan, facing the powers of the Neoverse, navigating the threats of the Perennial World, infiltrating the Sixverse Association, and surviving countless life-and-death battles, he would have never developed the resolve to face colossal threat like Aeternus.

Fortunately, he had made it through.

No matter how difficult Whiteless God's abilities might be to handle, there had to be a way to do so. If not, why would she have ever bothered grooming spies and traitors? It would have been far simpler to simply take out humanity's experts one by one, no?

Tian Feng also needed to be dealt with. Whiteless God was unable to directly affect Lu Yin, and she could only do so by controlling others, such as the Abandoned and Ye Wu.

Lu Yin tried again and again to find traces of Whiteless God's attacks, but each attempt failed.

Not only that, but Suprwas repeatedly controlled by Whiteless God, and this gave Progenitor Xi an opening. With a single slash of her sword, she cut down Supreme.

The massive mecha was sliced in half, exposing Emperor Shang.

The Infinity Empire’s emperor was just an ordinary person, and he struggled to breathe the moment he was exposed to the Second Scourge’s atmosphere. It was impossible for him to participate in such a high-level battle, not to mention the toxicity of the Second Scourge.

Emperor Shang looked up at the dark, distorted sky that was filled with stars. He wanted nothing more than to return to Supreme, but that was no longer possible.

Supreme, even with the Infinity Empire’s strongest defenses, had failed to endure a single attack from Progenitor Xi.

Mu Ke appeared beside Emperor Shang, intending to take the man away, but unfortunately, just two seconds of exposure to the Second Scourge was enough to kill Emperor Shang. Even in his final moments, he was still staring up at the sky. He had never dreamed that Suprwould be cut down.

Lu Yin let out a breath. They were fighting one of the largest, most intense battles in human history, and a sacrifice like Emperor Shang's had to be expected. Anyone on the battlefield could be sacrificed, including Lu Yin himself.

Emperor Shang was simply the first casualty. Right after that, Ye Wu was controlled by Whiteless God again, but this time, instead of attacking Lu Yin, the man charged into Wu Tian and the others’ battle against Tian Ci, and he directly received Tian Ci's attack.

Ye Wu was not at the slevel as the Three Realms and Six Daos. If Tian Ci’s attack landed, there was no doubt that Ye Wu would die.

The sword flashed and lit up like a divine artifact. In Ye Wu’s eyes, the weapon grew brighter and brighter. His sequence particles were dissipating, unable to exist so close to Tian Ci. The man was completely exposed to Tian Ci's power, which caused the sky and the ground to both crumble.

Flames engulfed Ye Wu. He could feel his body burning, just like the corpses he had dissected.

How many corpses had he dissected to complete his research and develop the symbiotic corpses? All of them had ended up being burned.

He had seen such flames too many times, and he had always wondered when his own day would come.

It seemed that the day had finally arrived.

At this moment, Ye Wu’s only concerns were for his disciples.

The pain of having his skin and internal organs incinerated was only momentary, and it did not actually feel like much at all.

The man hoped that reincarnation was real, because his life had been far too bitter.

A small boat appeared before him. A boat? Was there really a boat to transport the recently deceased?

Of course not. He was looking at Lightstream.

Lu Yin used his inner world to reverse tby one second. Wu Tian and Jiang Feng both attacked from next to Ye Wu; one thrust a spear forward while the other swung a sword. One was aimed at the front, and the other at the back. They surrounded Ye Wu and shattered all of the surrounding sequence particles with pure strength, exposing the True Void of the megaverse and revealing the Breath of the Origin.

It was impossible for an attack to surpass the origin of the megaverse. Even if Whiteless God was in her Progenitor’s world and was so small that she could not be seen, as long as an attack struck the True Void, she could be struck as well.

She could not shrink small enough to avoid the origin of the megaverse. If she could do that, then she would not be a sequence powerhouse, or even an Ortuser, but rather an Immortal.

Exposing the True Void was how one broke through to the Origin realm, and only those with the strength to compare to the Three Realms and Six Daos could accomplish such a feat.

However, as long as the essence of the origin was not inhaled, one would not trigger their breakthrough to becan Ortuser.

Lu Yin, Wu Tian, and Jiang Feng had worked together perfectly. In a single moment, they had forced Whiteless God to relinquish her control of Ye Wu.

Whiteless God was able to control multiple powerhouses simultaneously, but she did not accomplish this by splitting herself into multiple clones. Rather, she moved so quickly that she could instantly cover the entire battlefield. She took control of all of her targets in the blink of an eye.

That was also why Wu Tian and Jiang Feng had been able to force her out with their attacks; she was not willing to give up on Ye Wu.

Whiteless God’s goal was to take out the human experts one by one.

The void warped at Ye Wu’s side, and a white light was revealed.

Lu Yin’s eyes flared, and he pressed down with one hand, sending out dirt to crush the void.

Whiteless God was unable to hide in her microscopic Progenitor’s world any longer. Wu Tian's attacks were incredibly powerful, and the woman’s sequence particles had been shattered, which rendered her unable to do anything for a few moments. Wu Tian’s recent attack was more powerful than any he had used against Tian Ci.

With Lu Yin’s soil pressing down with immense force, a white world appeared from the white light. A white-colored mountain and sea raced across the ground of the Scourge.

Boom!

The void trembled as Wu Tian once again thrust his spear forward, this tattacking the white world.

Tian Ci blocked the attack, deflecting Wu Tian’s spear. The man glanced at the edge of Tian Ci’s sword while quickly retreating. At the stime, Jiang Feng’s sword swept out, and a surge of purplish-black substance sent Ye Wu flying.

Throughout the entire exchange, Ye Wu did not contribute a single thing to the battle. He had been nothing more than a puppet on strings, and he had nearly been burned to death. After being saved, he was tossed away from the battlefield.

That was one of the fights on the Scourge with the most powerful experts, and even sequence powerhouses could barely survive.

"Be careful!" Garan Zhiluo shouted.

Lu Yin suddenly dodged, but there was nothing where he had evaded. He looked up to see that, at sunknown point in time, the three bloodlusts had once again appeared and formed a trident that slammed down from above.

Lu Yin frowned. This Threefold Absolutes Array was useless against him, and Tian Feng knew that. Additionally, since Lu Yin had already absorbed a large chunk of death energy from the sourcebox array, the Threefold Absolutes Array no longer had its former power.

Unfortunately, Lu Yin also needed to deal with Whiteless God, which meant that the Threefold Absolutes Array could at least serve as a distraction.

Lu Yin’s landmass pressed down, constantly crushing and destroying the white mountain and sea, but the white world simply reappeared again and again.

This was not Lu Yin’s first tencountering this white mountain and sea. Whiteless God’s Semi-Progenitor avatar had once revealed this white world as her inner world, and it had been capable of dissolving any living creature.

At the time, Lu Yin had simply believed the white mountain and sea to be skind of substance or unique type of power, but he had since realized that the white world consisted of living organisms. There were tiny, microscopic creatures that formed the white mountain and sea.

If he had not successfully beca Progenitor and developed Dust World into a Progenitor’s world, Lu Yin would not have been able to discern the truth of the white world.

The white mountain and sea was composed of countless white, microscopic organisms, each of which had cultivated to a certain level within the Progenitor’s world. They worked together to empower Whiteless God while also forming her Progenitor’s world.

In the past, what Lu Yin had seen was not Whiteless God dissolving her opponents, but rather her microscopic creatures destroying their targets.

Dissolving and destruction were two different concepts.

Still, no matter how miraculous Whiteless God's Progenitor’s world might be, it could not stand up to Lu Yin's landmass.

The landmass formed from his Dust World was even more powerful than the landmass from his inner world. It could even match the strength of Lu Yin’s attack when he had used Flipping the Sky with the landmass from his inner universe to smash Feng Bo.

Since Whiteless God and Feng Bo were both members of the Three Pillars and Six Skies, the fact that Lu Yin had managed to defeat Feng Bo meant that he should also be able to defeat Whiteless God.

As for the Threefold Absolutes Array, Blackless God moved against it. He sent his black lines out to spread across the sky, creating a blackthat firmly held the trident in place.

“Little Seven, leave Whiteless God to me,” Lu Tianyi stated as his Champions' Stage slammed into the white mountain and sea, pinning the Progenitor’s world beneath Lu Yin’s landmass.

Lu Yin stepped out to continue attacking Tian Feng. “Blackless God, continue attacking Tian Ci.”

Blackless God looked intensely at Lu Yin for a moment. “Since I’ve been exposed, there’s no longer any turning back. We better kill Tian Feng, or else we might not see victory at the end of this battle.”

Lu Yin’s eyes turned cold as he charged back at the trident in the sky. Just like before, he absorbed the death energy from the trident, destroying the Threefold Absolutes Array.

As soon as he exited the sourcebox array, a strange power appeared on his hands and feet, forming locks that shackled his limbs.

Garan Zhiluo was startled. “That’s it! Be careful!”

Unfortunately, her warning was too late.

Tian Feng grew excited. “The Four Locks Array! Boy, you won’t be able to escape from this!”

Lu Yin tried to break the four shackles. They had locked onto his limbs, but they did nothing to inhibit him. It felt quite odd.

However, the more force he used to try to shatter the locks, the stronger they became.

His heart sank as he looked back over at Tian Feng. “You used my own power to bind me.”

Tian Feng praised him. “Clever! It’s no wonder how you were able to fight an Ortuser right after your breakthrough. That’s right, I’m using your own power to bind you.

“I’ve been observing you throughout this battle, and you’ve use four different sources of power.

“The first is your physical strength, which is more than impressive. You managed to match Di Qiong even after he underwent a Corpse King Transformation, so the first lock seals your physical strength.

“Your second power is your Progenitor’s world, which follows Tai Chu’s path. I once used Tai Chu’s power to bind him, so I had no issue in sealing your Progenitor’s world. This forms your second binding.

“The third power you’ve used is time. You can reverse tby one second, see into the past, and also move at the speed of time. I must admit, boy, you are terrifyingly talented. I can’t think of many throughout all of history who can surpass you. However, the stronger your power, the stronger your bindings. The third seal is your own power of time.”
