Star Odyssey

The moment that Progenitor Long released his Progenitors world, the giant corpse king was forced back step by step. The Progenitor wanted to push the corpse king to another part of the battlefield, as he was unwilling to risk his life for the sake of the Three Monarchs Universe.

Suddenly, the Dragon Emperor froze, and his strange eye was filled with pain. The enormous corpse king took the opportunity to strike the Dragon Emperors head with both arms, knocking it downwards.

Xia Shenji's expression changed. "Oh, no. Its in him!"

As the man spoke, his Shenwu World spread out, enveloping the massive corpse king and causing countless blades to fall upon its body. The giant corpse king roared as it punched the Dragon Emperor again, and tore the Progenitors world apart. At the same time, the Shenwu Worlds attack landed on its back and blood splattered across space.

The Dragon Emperor's form shrank rapidly, returning to Progenitor Longs form. The man spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was pale, but he knew that he was still surrounded by Progenitor-level enemies. fre enovelkiss.com

In front of his eyes, multi-colored bubbles appeared, glowing in a beautiful pattern.

Luo Shan's pupils shrank. "Bubble Fantasy! Its Cheng Kong!"

Sovereign Shao Yin was also startled. "Be careful!"

Cheng Kong was not some invincible monster like the Seven Skygods, but they were still incredibly difficult to deal with, and their attacks were nearly impossible to defend against.

Cheng Kong was too cunning and sneaky. No one who had died at their hands had ever seen Cheng Kongs appearance, as they had all been killed by sneak attacks.

The four ruling powers had never had any contact with Cheng Kong at all.

Progenitor Long stared at the bubbles, confused by their appearance. Even though warning bells were going off in his mind, the bubble had placed him in a strange trance that made it difficult for him to respond at all. There was a bang. Progenitor Long's body was viciously slapped away by the enormous corpse king, and the mans body twisted.

At this moment, he was finally able to regain a bit of consciousness, and he heard Luo Shan's voice, warning the Progenitor to beware of Cheng Kong. Who the hell is Cheng Kong?

The Progenitor flew through space, bubbles still surrounding his body as he struggled to resist the numbness that was overcoming his senses.

Bai Wangyuan raised a hand, and two points in space were connected by a single line: Void Rip.

The black line slashed open both space and the void, instantly revealing the Hollow in a ribbon of death. The attack shot towards Progenitor Long at incredible speed.

Luo Shan was startled; what sort of power was this?

Sovereign Shao Yin was similarly alarmed by Bai Wangyuans attack.

The Void Rip shot across the battlefield, and Bai Wangyuan shouted, "Dodge!"

Progenitor Long saw the Hollow approaching, as well as the two points that were at each end of the line as the attack approached. This was something that he and Bai Wangyuan had done in the past when cooperating during battles; Bai Wangyuan would use his Void Rip to protect Progenitor Long.

However, just as Progenitor Long was about to grab hold of one of the two points at the ends of the Void Rip, his movements stopped. Bubbles filled his vision, and although he wanted to reach out and seize the point, his body refused to move, no matter how hard he struggled. His Progenitors power, his Progenitors world, his battle techniqueshe was unable to mobilize anything.

"Its not just the mind that can be hypnotized, but also the body. Does your body listen to you any longer?"

Progenitor Long was shocked. Was even this possible?

Cheng Kongs words were the last thing that Progenitor Long ever heard.

As the Void Rip swept out, Progenitor Long's body was swallowed by the Hollow that had been opened. There was not even a scream as the mans body disappeared.

Outer space fell silent as everyone stared at where a Progenitor had just vanished.

Everyone, the Progenitors from the ruling powers, Sovereign Shao Yin, Luo Shan, the other Monarchs, and even the Aeternals were all staring.

A peak powerhouse had fallen so quickly and silently.

No one had anticipated that the first expert to fall during this battle would be Progenitor Long. They were fighting in the Three Monarchs Universe, not the Perennial World.

Progenitor Long had not died in the Perennial World or to defend that place, but rather in the Three Monarchs Universe.

Bai Wangyuan's face fell. No matter how he looked at the situation, his Void Rip seemed to have killed Progenitor Long. Why had the man not moved?

Xia Shenji looked over at Bai Wangyuan.

Specter Progenitor and Sage Yuan also looked at the man, but Luo Shan spoke first. "Cheng Kong controlled him. He was killed by Cheng Kong."

Forgotten Ruins God laughed. "You are so interesting! Where did you see Cheng Kong? It's obvious that you just wanted to kill him. Human beings are truly complex creatures."

Undying Gods lazy voice spoke up, "It still isnt over yet? I want to go back to sleep"

Blackless Gods calm voice said, "Come, let's talk things through. You are clearly ruthless enough, given that you will even kill your own people."

Bai Wangyuan ignored all of the Aeternals and instead turned to Luo Shan. "Who is this Cheng Kong?"

Luo Shan took a deep breath. "A despicable bastard. More than just a few peak powerhouses have fallen at that ones hands, and our entire Sixverse Association is after them."

Sovereign Shao Yin stared at Blackless God and the rest of the Aeternals powerhouses. "The death of one peak powerhouse does not simply end this battle. Drive them back!"

Luo Shan attacked.

Far away, Chen Le was still staring at the place where Progenitor Long had died. A truly powerful individual had died so easily. Even a peak powerhouse was still mortal, and their lives could be ended so easily.

The Monarch glanced back at Luo Shan and the others who were still fighting, and Chen Les expression changed.

What he had done could never be revealed, and he needed to make sure that he avoided any danger. On top of that, Xuan Qi could not be exposed as a fraud.

Monarch Xing approached the site of Progenitor Longs death, as the massive corpse king still needed to be dealt with.

Luo Shan asked Chen Le to go as well. It was clear that Cheng Kong was present, so everyone needed to be extremely careful.

In the Fifth Mainland, Lu Yin stood on the Shenwu Continent, waiting for the results of the battle.

Suddenly, he stared at the spatial passage itself, as something was moving through the void. Was that an eye?

Lu Yin stared at the eye that had appeared out of nowhere. It looked incredibly familiar, and he felt like he must have seen it somewhere before.

The eye had belonged to Progenitor Long, and it was his strange third eye. Right before he had died, he had sent the strange eye away without anyone noticing anything.

The eye was a treasure that the Progenitor had wanted to leave for his White Dragon Clan. Once Progenitor Long died, he knew that his White Dragon Clan would lose its status as one of the four ruling powers. On top of that, due to the White Dragon Clans unique situation, it would be very difficult for another Progenitor to appear in the clan. Progenitor Long knew that he had to leave the strange eye behind, as only with that could any of his descendants have any hope of reaching the Progenitor realm.

While the eye had been left behind by the Progenitor, it possessed no intelligence and simply moved towards the Fifth Mainland, drawn by a familiar power.

If no one interfered, the eye would eventually return to the White Dragon Clan, but Lu Yin had noticed it.

He grabbed the strange eye and studied it. The longer he looked at it, the more familiar it felt. Where had he seen it before?

Additionally, Lu Yin felt danger from the eye. The only thing that could threaten him anymore was something with the strength of a Progenitor.

Lu Yin raised his head and looked back at the spatial passage. He had just remembered where he had seen the eye before; it belonged to Progenitor Long, and Lu Yin had seen it at Dragon Mountain when the Progenitor had tried to intimidate the students from Virtue Archives into staying silent about the truth of the blood pool. At that time, Lu Yin had seen the exact same eye.

He looked back at the eye again. Why was Progenitor Long's eye moving through the spatial passage? The Progenitor had gone to fight in the Three Monarchs Universe; could something have happened to him?

No, Progenitor Long was one of the four ruling powers. He did not belong to the Three Monarchs Universe, and he would not be willing to risk himself to fight for that place.

A short distance away, Wang Fan was staring at the Three Monarchs Universe. It appeared that he had seen something truly shocking, as he was no longer paying any attention to Lu Yin.

Lu Yin put the eye away and continued to wait quietly. The battle in the other universe could not last for too long.

He knew this because he was the only person aware that Aeternus had launched the massive assault just to help him.

In the Three Monarchs Universe, the Aeternals seemed satisfied with Progenitor Longs death. When they saw that Sovereign Shao Yin, Bai Wangyuan, and the other Progenitors showed no intention of leaving, the Aeternals could only pull back.

"Let's see reinforcements arrive the next time. Well be watching your universe." Blackless God's deep voice rang in everyone's ears.

Luo Shan frowned. The passage connecting his universe to the Origin Universe had been opened, which meant that, for Aeternus, taking control of the Three Monarchs Universe was the same as taking control of the Origin Universe. Naturally, taking the universes would force them to pay a steep price, but regardless, the current situation was not favorable to Luo Shan.

The Three Monarchs Universe was nowhere near as valuable as the Origin Universe. Luo Shan could not help but feel that the only reason why such a large assault had been launched on his universe was because of the Origin Universe.

Luo Shan had been hoping to reseal the passage after he seized control of the Heavens Sect, completely abandoning the Three Monarchs Universe. He had wanted to stay in the Origin Universe. In this scenario, even if Aeternus wanted to attack the Origin Universe, they would first need to fight the four ruling powers, not Luo Shan.

Remembering his thoughts, Luo Shan looked back towards the passage. It was time for that child of the Lu family to die.

Everyone watched as the Aeternals retreated. Lu Yin had also noticed that the battle was over. He had not entered the Three Monarchs Universe out of fear of being seen by Sovereign Shao Yin, so Lu Yin did not know the details of the recent battle. Nonetheless, it was easy enough to determine if the fighting was over.

All the peak powerhouses had stopped fighting.

If the Aeternals were willing to retreat without any results, then it meant that the ultimatum he faced before the battle was still present, and their actions were meaningless. The fighting had stopped, which meant that something was going to change and they did not want to deal with it. This also meant that they had very great knowledge of what was happening among the humans.

However, speculating over just what had changed made Lu Yin shudder. How many of the Sixverse Associations secrets were the Aeternals privy to?

He immediately started hoping that his fears were unfounded, even if such a situation would work to his benefit.

In the Three Monarchs Universe, the Aeternals pulled back like a receding tide. At the same time, a solitary person approached the rainbow wall, drawing everyone's attention. It was the Junior Sovereign, Chu Jian.

Sovereign Shao Yin was surprised to see the young man. "Why are you here?"

Luo Shan, Monarch Xing, and others grew solemn as they looked at Chu Jian. While the man himself was not a peak powerhouse, his influence matched that of any such expert. Oftentimes, Chu Jian did not represent himself, but rather the Great Sovereign.

Chu Jian looked around the battlefield. "The Aeternals retreated? Perfect timing. Everyone, the Great Sovereign has sent orders."

Everyone stared at Chu Jian with solemn expressions.

Bai Wangyuan and others were the same, and they also were focused on Chu Jian.

The young man glanced around at everyone present, taking special note of Bai Wangyuan and the others from the four ruling powers. "Seniors from the Origin Universe, are you willing to hear the Great Sovereigns orders?"

Xia Shenji did not hesitate at all. "Of course I will obey Senior Great Sovereigns orders."

Bai Wangyuan nodded. "Please share them with me."

Chu Jian then looked back at Luo Shan. "What of you, Senior Monarch Luo? The Great Sovereigns orders are not good news for you, Senior."

Luo Shan arched a brow. "Why is that?" freew ebnov el

Chu Jian smiled. "No one from the Sixverse Association is allowed to enter the Origin Universe without authorization. Those are Masters orders, but you have violated them, Senior."

Luo Shan grunted. "The spatial passage that connects my Three Monarchs Universe to the Origin Universe has been opened. Since that passage has been opened, my actions cannot be regarded as violating the Great Sovereigns edict."

"Master has considered that, but the Aeternals launched a massive attack on the Three Monarchs Universe, which is why Master is unwilling to overlook this. What if the Three Monarchs Universe had failed to stop the attack in time?"

As Chu Jian spoke, he looked over at Bai Wangyuan and the other Progenitors. "As for your plans, Master is well aware of them, and he has sent this junior to deliver his order.

Chu Jian grew solemn. "Master orders the Origin Universe to send half of its Progenitors to help the Sixverse Association, whether in defense of their own universes or on the frontlines of the Endless Frontier. You cannot refuse, or else Master will personally take action, punishing you as a deserter.

"Master says that Luo Shan and Lu Yin have incited a war between two parallel universes. He orders that they both be punished by serving on the Endless Frontier. Any who refuse will be condemned for betraying humanity.

"Master declares that Sovereign Shao Yin has done excellent work in protecting the Three Monarchs Universe, and has been excused from serving on the Endless Frontier for a thousand years.

"Master says that Sage Yuan has entered the Origin Universe without authorization and instigated a feud between two parallel universes. As punishment, Master orders him to go to the Endless Frontier. The Lamentation of the Sages will befall, should you refuse."

One order after another was delivered. Chu Jian spoke on behalf of the Great Sovereign, and while he was giving orders to peak powerhouses, no one felt that it was inappropriate. After all, the orders that they were receiving were truly issued by the Great Sovereign.
