Star Odyssey

Garan Zhiluo was not alone, as many others also laughed. Even Mu Ji could not stop himself from smirking.

Sure enough, the trident had a rather odd appearance at the moment. One of the three sharp tines seemed to have melted away, while the other two were bent. It looked less like a mighty trident and more like a broken pitchfork.

The constant laughter enraged Tian Feng even further, and the stone let out a roar of fury. "Humans, you all deserve to die! You all must die!"

The trident finally shattered, exposing Lu Yin, who had been inside of the weapon this whole time. He waved his hand, and a column of soil shot at Tian Feng. "You're the one who should die! All of you Boundary Guardians should die!"

The images of Hongyan Mavis and Wu Tian which had been summoned from Lu Yin’s Investiture of the Gods worked together as more columns of soil stabbed into Tian Feng with loud crashing sounds.

The void warped around Tian Feng, flickering as it revealed different images. This was its Two Worlds Dust Array. Tian Feng was not giving up, and it was trying to drag Lu Yin into a sourcebox array and then eliminate him by erasing a timeline.

In some ways, this sourcebox array was similar to Restart.

It dragged its target into a parallel timeline, and then destroyed both the target and that timeline.

Garan Zhiluo was constantly disrupting Tian Feng’s efforts, which made it difficult to fully activate the sourcebox array.

Tian Ci's expression fell. Never before had the Boundary Guardians been so humiliated before. Even after they had joined forces with Aeternus to deal with humanity, the humans were still overpowering them.

They had to win this battle, or else the Boundary Guardians would forever lose their place in this megaverse.

In fact, the Boundary Guardians might even be hunted by humanity, which was something that neither Tian Ci nor the megaverse that he had come from could accept.

This thought caused him to turn and look at True God, who met the Boundary Guardian’s gaze.

So far, Tian Feng had used three sourcebox arrays, but that was not all that the stone possessed. Tian Feng had once used its sourcebox arrays to seal the Origin Progenitor’s hands, which had forced the man to cut them off. Not even Garan Zhiluo knew which specific array had been used at that time, as she had not witnessed the battle between the Boundary Guardians and the Origin Progenitor.

Elsewhere on the battlefield, a blazing light enveloped Tian Ci, and when he swung his sword, it possessed much greater power than before. The stars shook, and the ground cracked open as the black Mother Tree trembled.

Lu Yin watched in amazement. Not even the Lord of Lightning or Wu Tian could stand up to Tian Ci at this moment. The two men’s attacks vanished without a trace, having no effect on Tian Ci.

The Lord of Lightning had the confidence to attack even True God, while Tian Ci was an Ortuser. While the distinction between Ortusers and Dukkhan was a bit unclear, it seemed to be somewhat similar to the difference between a sequence powerhouse and a peak powerhouse. The main difference between Ortusers and Dukkhans was their cultivation realm, as well as a crucial step. If a sequence powerhouse possessed the strength to break through to the True Void, like Lu Yuan, Hongyan Mavis, and the other Three Realms and Six Daos, then there would not be a huge power gap between them and an Ortuser.

The Lord of Lightning undoubtedly had the requisite strength to access the True Void, but he was still being suppressed by Tian Ci.

Tian Ci was the strongest of the Boundary Guardians.

"Blackless God, what are you waiting for? We need to end things now!" Lu Tianyi shouted as he charged at Tian Ci, the golden light of the Investiture of the Gods instantly shrouding half of the Second Scourge.

Behind him, Blackless God’s eyes twitched, and he suddenly looked up. His eyes met True God’s.

"So, it’s you," True God stated calmly.

In a low voice, Blackless God replied, "I’ve done a lot for Aeternus, but now it’s time to change sides."

True God said nothing more, but the murder that blazed in his eyes seemed able to incinerate the stars.

There was no doubt that one of the Seven Skygods was a human spy, but True God had never been able to determine who the traitor was. Shaman God had once been suspected, but they had died fighting for Aeternus. Undying God had also been doubted, but he had also died under similar circumstances. Forgotten Ruins God had coerced multiple generations of the Wang family to betray humanity and join the Aeternals, with Wang Xiaoyu even triggering a war between the Sixth and Fifth Mainlands. Thus, it was impossible for the woman to be a traitor to Aeternus. The rest, such as Corpse God, were not even human. Ancient God was being controlled by True God himself, and Whiteless God held Aeterna, and she had done as much damage to humanity as the entire Wang family.

After considering all the possibilities, only Blackless God remained a possibility, and as it turned out, Blackless God was indeed the traitor.

After being exposed, Blackless God joined Lu Tianyi and attacked Tian Ci.

At this moment, four powerful individuals, each as strong as the Three Realms and Six Daos—the Lord of Lightning, Wu Tian, and Lu Tianyi—were attacking Tian Ci. Lu Tianyi was not much weaker than the others, and his Investiture of the Gods allowed him to borrow the strength of both Progenitor Ku and Progenitor Chen, which elevated him to the level of the Three Realms and Six Daos. It was difficult for anyone to overpower Lu Tianyi. As for Blackless God, he was one of the Seven Skygods and also extremely strong and equal to the Three Pillars and Six Skies. He was certainly at the level of the Three Realms and Six Daos.

This meant that four men with strength similar to the Three Realms and Six Daos level were attacking Tian Ci. No matter how powerful the Ortuser might be, he could not spare the effort to involve himself in any of the other battles.

This created an opportunity. Lu Yin raised a hand, and countless dirt columns manifested and shot at Tian Feng. The markings on the surface of the stone dimmed significantly.

"Senior Garan, which sourcebox array did Tian Feng use against the Origin Progenitor?" Lu Yin asked.

Garan Zhiluo sighed. "I don’t know. Over the years, Tian Feng has taken action very few times, and the most that it’s ever used is the Threefold Absolutes Array."

Lu Yin's expression fell. "In that case, we'll just have to force it out."

Tian Feng was still using the Skyrender Glyph Array, but it was not very effective. Lu Yin was coordinating with his summoned Hongyan Mavis and Wu Tian to attack from different directions, which ensured that at least one attack would always hit. Tian Feng struggled to evade.

While Ortusers could not be touched by the laws of the universe, Lu Yin wasn’t using any laws. He was the only person who was not a sequence powerhouse who was capable of fighting against Ortusers, and in a sense, this made Lu Yin a perfect counter to Ortusers.

Tian Feng’s weaknesses were readily seen. It was not a living creature, and it could not comprehend the laws of the universe. Becoming an Ortuser had been incredibly difficult for the odd being.

Without any sequence particles, and with Lu Yin also not using any to attack, Tian Feng held no advantage in the fight. As soon as its sourcebox arrays were broken, the Boundary Guardian would be at Lu Yin’s mercy.

Garan Zhiluo was constantly revealing all of Tian Feng's weaknesses, which prevented it from using the Two World Dust Array. This forced Tian Feng to continuously endure Lu Yin's relentless attacks.

Tian En was unable to offer any support. While neither the Abandoned nor Ye Wu were at the level of the Three Realms and Six Daos, they were still very powerful sequence powerhouses, and with Hongyan Mavis’s help, they were able to fight against Tian En.

According to Garan Zhiluo, Tian En was the weakest combatant of the Boundary Guardians.

Of the Aeternals, Progenitor Xi was being occupied by Mu Shen and a few others. Ancient God was held back by Lu Yuan, and Arrow God was being restrained by Sovereign Dou Sheng. There were no experts who could support Tian Feng.

Lu Yin was determined to kill a second Boundary Guardian during this battle.

As the soil columns slammed into Tian Feng, six pieces of Primaldust suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yin, swirling around to strike a small point of light.

The speck of light was so tiny that Lu Yin could barely see it. If the Primaldust had not suddenly appeared, the speck would have struck his forehead.

What was that?

Far away, Wu Tian called out, despite attacking Tian Ci, “That’s an attack! It’s invisible, due to its extremely small size.”

Lu Yin’s eyes flickered. A microscopic attack?

Suddenly, a broken blade appeared in front of Lu Yin, slashing at his neck. The Abandoned had attacked.

Lu Yin reflexively dodged. The Abandoned did not follow up on his attack, and he instead looked at Lu Yin in confusion, while warning him, “Behind you!”

Lu Yin moved with Inverse Step, moving at the speed of time and causing everything around him to freeze.

As he turned around, he saw a blade aimed at him. This time, it was his senior brother, Mu Ke, who was attacking Lu Yin.

He flicked a finger, and the soil moved around him and expanded like a balloon to shield him. Right after that, Ye Wu passed by, using his sequence particles to cause a series of explosions. At the same time, black lines closed in on Lu Yin from all directions, in an attempt to trap him.

The black lines could not overcome the dirt shield, which was formed from Lu Yin’s Progenitor’s World Dust World.

Finally, a shadow fell on Lu Yin as Supreme punched at him. There was a deafening boom, but Lu Yin did not move. Instead, Supreme retreated a few steps, forced back by the recoil.

In an instant, Lu Yin had withstood the attacks of five figures with the strength of sequence powerhouses: the Abandoned, Ye Wu, Mu Ke, Emperor Shang, and Blackless God.

It was absolutely impossible for all five to turn traitor at the exact same time, which meant that there was only one explanation: they had been controlled.

The Abandoned and the others glanced around in confusion.

Inside Supreme, Emperor Shang was badly shaken. How could such a thing have happened?

Further away, Mu Ke clenched his saber while a block of wood stopped one of Progenitor Xi’s slashes.

Mu Ke stared at Lu Yin, confused by the fact that he had just attacked his own junior brother.

"A microscopic Progenitor’s world is changing things. Be careful, as this is a top-level expert," Wu Tian warned.

Blackless God's expression darkened. "It's Whiteless God."

Lu Yin grew serious. Whiteless God had finally appeared.

She was the most mysterious of the Seven Skygods, and she rarely took action.

Thus far, Whiteless God and the last of the Three Pillars were the only Aeternals who had never shown themselves during the various battles between humanity and Aeternus. All the other top powerhouses had either fallen or at least been wounded.

Whiteless God was the one who held Aeterna, the list that recorded all human traitors. The fact that she had joined the battlefield meant that the Aeternals were facing a genuine crisis.

However, the value of Aeterna had diminished greatly over the years. Lu Yin had managed to purge nearly all the spies in both the Origin Universe and the Sixverse Association, capturing or killing many. The Aeternals had even exposed almost 100 of their own spies, including Wu Hen, an Arborean, in an attempt to cripple Lu Yin and the Heavens Sect.

That attempt had used up almost all the spies who had been undercover in the Sixverse Association.

Even Yao Lan had been revealed as a traitor, and she was a peak powerhouse.

It had not been easy for the Aeternals to recruit so many spies, not to mention spies who were peak powerhouses. Just how many names could still be left on Aeterna?

The biggest threat that Lu Yin and the others faced at this moment was not hidden spies, but rather Whiteless God herself.

Whiteless God had not managed to become one of the Seven Skygods and receive the title of one of Three Pillars and Six Skies because of how she had groomed spies. Rather, this was due to her own strength.

Ancestor Lu Tianyi had once fought against Whiteless God, and he knew that she was very powerful.

The latest incident only served as proof that Whiteless God was capable of altering the balance of the entire battlefield.

Tian Feng had been granted a brief respite.

Lu Yin was forced to stop attacking Tian Feng. He thought of the speck of light that he had seen a few moments before. That must have been Whiteless God's power. She seemed to be capable of instantly manipulating the minds of a number of experts, which would prove to be quite troublesome.

Whiteless God had not revealed herself, and the Abandoned and the others glanced around in confusion, unsure of what they should do.

"Keep going!" Lu Yin ordered.

The Abandoned and the others returned to what they had been doing, but a massive shadow soon fell over Lu Yin again. It was Supreme. Once again, Emperor Shang’s mind was being manipulated, and he was attacking Lu Yin.
