Star Odyssey

Chapter 2978: Manhandled

Countless people throughout the Cyclic Universe saw the Great Sovereign appear, and they all knelt to her.

The Great Sovereign looked down upon everything, appearing inviolable and unfathomable as she stood above everything. Her cold and cruel eyes locked onto Lu Yin and Lu Tianyi.

Just like when he had first seen her at the Tea Ceremony, looking at the Great Sovereign made Lu Yin feel as though his eyes were being stabbed and he was going blind.

This person should not be directly looked at, only looked up to.

"Juniors of the Lu family, are you seeking death?" The Great Sovereign's voice rang across the Cyclic Universe, shaking the entire universe.

As she spoke, endless sequence particles fell. It looked like the very sky was falling.

Lu Yin was startled. "Ancestor."

An Investiture of the Gods appeared over Lu Tianyi's head, and a golden light shot into the sky. At the stime, the man himself was surrounded by countless sequence particles. They formed a vortex around Lu Tianyi that connected the sky to the earth.

At this moment, the confrontation between the Great Sovereign and Lu Tianyi's sequence rules set off a unique storm that rampaged through the Cyclic Universe.

What?

The Great Sovereign's eyes flashed, and she raised her hand.

Lu Tianyi’s eyes flickered, and he took a step forward.

Lu Yin shouted, "You crazy woman, the Aeternals are falling apart!"

The Great Sovereign completely ignored Lu Yin, and her upraised hand fell.

Lu Yin's scalp went numb. Every move that this woman made was powerful enough to destroy the universe. He had thought that Ancestor Tianyi’s presence would at least give Lu Yin the opportunity to speak to the Great Sovereign. He had not expected the crazy woman to refuse to listen to a single word.

When the Great Sovereign's hand fell, she did not attack the two men from the Lu family, as Lu Yin had expected, but instantly destroyed the few frenzied corpses that were scattered about the Cyclic Universe. Nothing remained of them.

"Why have those frenzied corpses appeared?" The Great Sovereign looked at Sovereign Lotus.

The Sovereign had also expected the Great Sovereign to attack Lu Tianyi and Lu Yin, and Sovereign Lotus’s face had already turned pale. As soon as she heard the Great Sovereign’s question, the Sovereign quickly explained the situation.

The Great Sovereign looked at Lu Yin in surprise. "The Whitecloud and Aeternus have gone to war?"

Lu Yin looked at the Great Sovereign. "The Five Spirits Alliance and the Luna Alliance are both ready to attack the Scourge at any moment, but the Sixverse Association was suddenly attacked by the frenzied corpses. We intended to settle them while waking you. I wish to ask you to go to Scourge to attack it. I want to force Aeternus to reveal their full strength.”

"Little thing, who do you think you are?" the Great Sovereign thundered. Her voice shook the sky and nearly caused Lu Yin to lose consciousness.

"Do you believe yourself capable of fighting against Aeternus?

"Who do you think I am? How do you believe that you can shout atand wakeup however you please?

"Not even that kid, Lu Yuan, would dare to speak toin such a manner!"

Lu Tianyi frowned and maintained a firm stance in front of Lu Yin.

Sovereign Lotus and the others who heard Lu Yin felt chills cover their bodies. The last tLu Yin had insulted the Great Sovereign like this, it had been at the Tea Ceremony. He had just done the sthing again.

Chu Jian was furious at Lu Yin’s behavior. "Lu Yin, shut up!"

Lu Yin pointed a finger at the sky. "So many of us have worked to create this opportunity for you to attack Aeternus! Why are you putting on this act here? Besides, you’ve already left seclusion, and you are able to fight against True God. Even the Lord of Lightning has already attacked the Scourge and fought against True God. Who do you think you are when others are willing to fight your battles?"

"Lu Yin, if you want to attack the Scourge, then go bother your own ancestor! Why bother my master?" Chu Jian yelled.

Lu Yin shot a glare at Chu Jian. "Because I can."

These three words left Chu Jian utterly speechless.

Sovereign Lotus was stunned, and she felt an urge to slap Lu Yin away.

Sage Yajna, a quiet, peaceful man, struggled to not curse Lu Yin.

It was obvious that the young man was seeking revenge. How despicable!

He took a deep breath, and his sequence particles slowly fell down. It was possible that Lu Yin’s three words would completely enrage the Great Sovereign. Their goal was to convince the Great Sovereign to attack the Scourge and force Aeternus to fully reveal all of their hidden strength, not initiate a fight between the Great Sovereign and the Lu family. Lu Yin was playing with fire, and it was important that he did not burn himself.

Lu Yin was again staring straight at the Great Sovereign. Although the woman was insane, there was no doubt that she genuinely wanted to destroy Aeternus. This was not only because of the threat that the Aeternals posed to humanity, but also because the Great Sovereign wanted to overcDukkha. For both of these reasons, she should not forsake the opportunity Lu Yin was giving her. After all, she had already left seclusion. It was better to force True God out as well, instead of suffering a loss on her own.

The Cyclic Universe remained silent as everyone waited to hear the Great Sovereign’s response.

The longer the silence stretched, the more unsettling it became.

"The Lu family is doing this for themselves," the Great Sovereign stated.

Lu Tianyi's expression fell.

Lu Yin's eyes flared. "This is your struggle to overcDukkha!"

"Little thing, you are not qualified to discuss such things with me, though you are right in that. I have already emerged from seclusion, and since that is the case, I cannot allow Yong Heng to relax." As she spoke, the Cyclic Universe fell back. The universe started to spin, and all the sequence particles that had filled the area suddenly vanished, as well as the tremendous pressure that had been present. The Great Sovereign had disappeared.

The woman’s sudden absence startled Chu Jian and the others. Had their master gone to attack Aeternus?

Lu Yin's expression changed. "Ancestor, hurry back to the Lu Sanctum! Don’t let the crazy woman wake Ancestor Lu Yuan!"

Even as Lu Yin spoke, he quickly tore the void, and Lu Tianyi shot through to return to the Lu Sanctum.

Suddenly, Lu Yin also disappeared. As he stared, the scenery fell away, blurring from the incredible speed. In an instant, he was already at the border of the Cyclic Universe. He looked around and saw Arrow Sage. By the tLu Yin looked back, he was already in an unknown universe.

Everything had happened in less than a second, so quickly that he had not had any opportunity to even react.

When he did react, he smelled a refreshing scent and also heard a familiar voice. "Little thing, since you want to see the Aeternals true strength, I’ll take you there to see."

Lu Yin’s mouth fell open, and he slowly turned his head. The Great Sovereign was right at his side.

At this moment, she was holding onto him. She had taken him to the Endless Frontier.

Back in the Cyclic Universe, Lu Tianyi had taken action the moment Lu Yin had been captured by the Great Sovereign. Even so, Lu Tianyi could not catch up. He could only watch as the Great Sovereign left his sight. The man’s entire demeanor instantly and drastically changed. "You crazy bitch! Let go of Little Seven!"

Sovereign Lotus and the others from the Cyclic Universe could not even react. Shockingly, after leaving, the Great Sovereign had returned and captured Lu Yin.

What was going on?

Throughout known history, no one had ever heard of anyone getting physically close to the Great Sovereign, and yet she had just whisked Lu Yin off with a hand. It was very clear to all of them

Something big had just happened.

On the Endless Frontier, Lu Yin stared at the Great Sovereign in a daze. The woman was very close. A veil still covered her face, preventing Lu Yin from seeing her clearly, but her eyes were beautiful and flawless, radiating a holy light that could not be desecrated.

They moved through the void, going further and further. In just an instant, they had already crossed half of the Endless Frontier.

Lu Yin gulped. While he had just been shouting at the Great Sovereign and insulting her, at this moment, he panicked. This was not because he was afraid, but rather because Lu Yin was unwilling. Dying to the Great Sovereign would not be worth it.

At the Tea Ceremony, the Great Sovereign had pushed Lu Yin to the point where his temper had snapped, and he had becreckless that he had ignored the potential consequences. Because of that, he had insulted her.

At this moment, Lu Yin had no anger at all. He had forced the woman to repay a bit of the debt that she owed the Lu family by forcing her out of seclusion, which had been quite satisfying. However, she had subsequently captured Lu Yin, and he was in no position to say anything.

"Little thing, keep insulting me. I want to hear what you have to say." When the Great Sovereign spoke, she was very close, and her voice was no longer as loud. It was still impossible to determine the Great Sovereign’s gender from her voice, but it was very soft, and it flowed like clear water. There was an ethereal aspect to it.

"Why did you capture me?" Lu Yin asked in a daze.

"Don't you want to see the true strength of Aeternus?"

"Just go and see for yourself. I need to go take care of the frenzied corpses. They’ve appeared everywhere in the Sixverse Association, and I can deal with them faster than anyone."

"It doesn't matter. Such brainless monsters can't cause much damage. If you want to see the Aeternals’ true strength, then I'll take you to see it."

As they spoke, they already arrived in the Giants’ Purgatory, which Lu Yin was very familiar with. The Star Devourer was no longer present.

In an instant, the Great Sovereign carried Lu Yin through the Giants’ Purgatory, and they entered a dark place. This was another place that Lu Yin was very familiar with: the Scourge. To be precise, this was where the Scourge was connected to the Endless Frontier, which made it where the Sixverse Association connected to Aeternus’s territory. This was the first battlefield in the war against Aeternus. This was the place that Sovereign Dou Sheng always stayed at.

"Great Sovereign, I can’t really do anything against True God, but if you letgo, there are things that I can accomplish." Lu Yin wanted to fight back, but unfortunately, he found that there was absolutely no way for him to resist the Great Sovereign.

The Great Sovereign coldly answered, "Aren’t you going to calla crazy woman now?"

Lu Yin opened his mouth. At this moment, his life was literally in the hands of another. This was an experience he had not suffered in a long time. Threats were useless, and the Great Sovereign would not even be intimidated by Ancestor Lu Yuan.

The Great Sovereign was one of the strongest beings in the entire universe. She was someone attempting to overcDukkha, which was a level that not even True God had exceeded. This meant that there was no one in the universe above the Great Sovereign, and that included Mister Mu. There was no one Lu Yin could use to try to threaten the Great Sovereign.

He had never even considered the possibility that the Great Sovereign would capture him, which was clearly a mistake.

There was a loud bang, and a golden light flared. It was Sovereign Dou Sheng.

The Great Sovereign dragged Lu Yin along, and they instantly arrived at the source of the golden light. Lu Yin’s eyes shifted to the side, and he saw that Sovereign Dou Sheng had just smashed a frenzied corpse to death with his golden cudgel.

Sensing something, Sovereign Dou Sheng turned around. He saw the Great Sovereign, as well as Lu Yin, who was in her grip. Sovereign Dou Sheng was briefly stunned. Just what was going on?

The Great Sovereign merely glanced at the Sovereign before taking another step towards the Scourge.

Sovereign Dou Sheng clenched his golden cudgel tightly. A frenzied corpse rushed at him from the side, but the man ignored it. Instead, he chased after the Great Sovereign.

Right after that, Lu Tianyi also appeared, and he similarly chased after the Great Sovereign into the Scourge.

None of the Aeternals in the Scourge were aware that Lu Yin had gone to the Cyclic Universe to awaken the Great Sovereign. Things had proceeded too quickly, so even if a spy had managed to get the information, they could not have moved faster than the Great Sovereign herself.

As the Great Sovereign entered the Scourge, the entire mainland trembled.

The Cyclic Universe had shunned all the known Aeternals, while the Scourged had shunned most individuals who were not part of Aeternus, especially the Great Sovereign. As soon as she entered the Scourge, her very presence shook the place, just like when True God had entered the Cyclic Universe.

The black Mother Tree swayed, and the void trembled. The Great Sovereign arrived in one step, erasing all of the Aeternus Kingdoms that she passed by. At the stime, she eradicated all the Progenitor-level corpse kings. Her power was without equal.

Progenitor Xi was startled. "Tai Hong?"

A blast of pressure shot towards Progenitor Xi. In his tower, Mu Ji was shocked, and he turned to look into the distance. What a terrifying presence! As it swept out, it threatened to overturn the entire Scourge. Mu Ji had not felt such a powerful aura even when he approached the temple beneath the black Mother Tree and faced the statue of True God. It was as though the apocalypse had arrived.
