Star Odyssey Chapter 1520: Knows One

Chapter 1520: Knows One

Lu Yin also noticed the person that Mr. Guo had mentioned earlier had taken action, a senior from the All-Dao family. This man was named Wan Sen, and he was a powerhouse who had survived his fourth tribulation. When the battle started, he had immediately made a move to confront a ma.s.sive corpse king.

Zhou Tang had also recovered by this time. Lu Yin had not seen the man in a while, but as the corpse king attack force approached, the void warped as though a fire was boiling it. Zhou Tang’s aurelian force spread out and covered hundreds of kilometers in an invincible manner.

Zhou Tang's cultivation was not as impressive as Wan Sen’s, not to mention Sister Luo Hua. However, Zhou Tang was the most powerful when he used his aurelian force. His invincible battle force made him the most conspicuous individual on the entire battlefield, and he instantly drew the attention of several corpse kings that had the strength of Envoys. One was even as powerful as an Envoy who had survived five tribulations, and the creature instantly sent Zhou Tang flying.

Fortunately, Zhou Tang was strong and did not die.

Wan Sen moved to block off that particular corpse king. Even though the Envoy’s cultivation lagged behind by a stage, his battle techniques were anything but weak. Even Lu Yin could tell that the man’s techniques seemed to be of higher quality than many of the four ruling powers’. With his abilities, Wen San successfully stopped the corpse king.

"Hey, are you just going to hide in there and not fight? Come out and fight me! Whoever wins calls the other grandson!" Young Master Tu taunted Lu Yin as he jumped about.

Lu Yin frowned and pressed a hand to the ground. Suddenly, the sourcebox array formed from the cone-shaped sourceboxes flew into the air. He was done.

With a single thought, the array spread out and enveloped the entire battlefield that had engulfed the mountain range. Countless corpse kings were pierced through by the cone-shaped sourceboxes, even the one fighting Wan Sen. The five corpse kings with the strength of Envoys were all struck as well, and they were forced back several steps.

Many of the corpse kings looked up to see that Lu Yin was the one controlling the sourcebox array.

One of the Envoy-level corpse kings roared as wings appeared behind its back and flapped as a strange blue flame lit up from within the void. This was the creature’s innate gift.

Lu Yin tossed Young Master Tu to the side before turning to face the blue flame that was shooting through the air. He had his Cloudguard Robes on, so this blue flame was completely unable to harm Lu Yin at all. Once the corpse king was in range, Lu Yin raised a hand and released a Vacuum Palm.

The attack forced back this corpse king that had the strength of an Envoy.

Lu Yin leaped towards the location of the spherical red sourcebox array. His current plan was to use both sourcebox arrays in unison. That way, his opponents would be forced to push into two offensive sourcebox arrays at the same time.

The winged, Envoy level corpse king was incredibly fast, and it caught up to Lu Yin in the blink of an eye as it swung a hand at him.

Even though this corpse king was not as fast as the one that Lu Yin had fought against before, it was not far behind. Zhou Tang, Mr. Guo, and the other Envoys were all unable to help Lu Yin, as were the other Envoys among the Forsaken Soldiers; none of them could catch up to this corpse king.

Lu Yin was in danger, but he had already decided to take a risk. He activated a Teleportation Formation just as the winged corpse king’s claws tore through the void and slashed down at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin pulled out the long spear that he had taken from Long Tian, and he quickly covered the spear shaft with its sticky green substance. This was the same method that Lu Yin had used to defeat the previous, even faster corpse king, and if it had worked against that opponent, then why not employ it against this one?

A powerful blow hit Lu Yin from the side before he could even respond. He was smashed down to the ground by the winged corpse king, and the creature pursued its target to the ground. In retaliation to the previous attack, Lu Yin lifted the spear and stabbed out with its tip aimed overhead.

Right after Lu Yin lifted his spear, the winged corpse king appeared and smashed Lu Yin into the mountain side.

Some distance away, Young Master Tu was startled by what he saw. "Uncle He, go help."

Closeby, Uncle He was about to step in when he suddenly noticed that the green goo on the ground was wrapped around the corpse king’s arm. Meanwhile, an unscathed Lu Yin was pulled out by the corpse king.

Uncle He was surprised, but Young Master Tu was even more startled. He suddenly remembered what Uncle He had mentioned about this kid having amazing equipment.

The winged corpse king was fast but not particularly powerful, and it was completely unable to break free of the sticky green substance. Lu Yin seized this opportunity to drag the corpse king back to the sourcebox array with the cone-shaped sourceboxes. The corpse king desperately fought back and savagely roared. There were less than three meters separating its scarlet irises from Lu Yin’s eyes. The cold and silent stare was frightening.

There was finally a bang. A cone from the sourcebox array left behind a hole in the chest of the corpse king, tearing it apart.

Lu Yin put his spear away and then continued making his way towards the Red Beam

Before long, red beams of light swept across the entire mountain range, slaughtering even more corpse kings.

Once the two sourcebox arrays started attacking, the flood of corpse kings from Xiang City were completely restrained.

Even Marquis Xiang’s attention was drawn to the arrays, and he was furious by what he saw. "Is that kid new here?"

Across from the corpse king, Semi-Progenitors Ji Feng and Liu Hua warily glanced at each other. Even though there were Semi-Progenitors on both sides of the battle, they were not on the same level. The two humans had only cultivated for a fraction of the time that the corpse king had existed for, and Marquis Xiang was as old as some Progenitors. Also, corpse kings generally held the advantage against opponents with the same level of cultivation, and the two Semi Progenitors could only handle Marquis Xiang when they joined forces.

"You just launched an all-out attack on the array bases, and now you’re attacking the Stacking Mountain Range. You really are full of energy," Semi-Progenitor Ji Feng commented.

Marquis Xiang sneered back. "We have no need for something like energy. That’s something that only you humans have. Energy, aging, pain and emotions. These are the things that will lead to your defeat."

"Which of your eyes sees us as defeated? If not for the fact that there have been a lot more of you monsters in recent years, the battlefield would still be in the same state as before. Honestly, you should be embarra.s.sed," Semi-Progenitor Liu Hua mocked.

Marquis Xiang glanced at the two Semi-Progenitors. "You two can work together to defeat me, but what part of that is worthy of pride? It won’t be long before I manage to break your inner world. Do you intend to stay here or run away like those fear-shriveled turtles from before? Will you flee to the Perennial World? Well? Hahahaha!"

Semi-Progenitors Ji Feng and Liu Hua glanced at each other, their expressions growing more and more vigilant.

"That's it! Why don't we take you back and convert you? That will give us two more experts." Marquis Xiang suddenly changed the conversation, but then he looked up. "Come on out. What are you waiting for?"

Semi-Progenitors Ji Feng and Liu Hua were both startled, and their heads were forced away from each other as shoots of green bamboo appeared out of the ground and stabbed into the sky. The attack came out of nowhere, and in an instance, almost a million people had died. Their blood pooled together to form a river of blood.

High up the Stacking Mountain Range, Lu Yin trembled; had Marquis Green Bamboo been waiting in ambush this entire time? Why would he show up now?

The Stacking Mountain Range only had two Semi-Progenitors, and they had always needed to work together to restrain Marquis Xiang. With Marquis Green Bamboo added to the battlefield, the situation had instantly reversed.

Sister Luo Hua grew pale as she stared at Marquis Green Bamboo. This was not an expert whom she could handle.

Uncle He and Zhou Tang were similarly able to do nothing more than simply watch.

Marquis Green Bamboo’s eyes wandered across the Folded Mountains, though they briefly paused on Lu Yin. Suddenly, the marquis attacked the sourcebox array with the cones. A ma.s.sive bamboo shoot sprouted in the void and struck the array at full force.

A Semi-Progenitor was powerful enough to easily destroy such a sourcebox array, and the strength of this particular array was not enough to make the corpse king personally move.

However, just as the ma.s.sive, green bamboo was about to strike, a palm shot up from underground and grabbed a hold of the bamboo. It squeezed, and the bamboo cracked.

Everyone was stunned; was there someone underground?

Marquis Green Bamboo's eyes narrowed, and he pressed down with a hand. Rays of light radiated from the green bamboo, and it instantly recovered before continuing to barrel down towards the sourcebox array.

The hand maintained a firm grip on the bamboo. "Marquis Green Bamboo, I have not seen you for many years, but are you still using this same method?"

The voice boomed with power, and its owner seemed to be someoneone in his twilight years, and yet his tone overflowed with confidence and arrogance.

Marquis Green Bamboo was actually shocked to hear this particular voice, but then he laughed. "The Lu family was exiled, and I was actually wondering what had happened to my old friends from back then. I never expected you to be here, Wan Zhiyi."

All across the Stacking Mountain Range, Mr. Guo, Zhou Tang, and the others were all stupefied; Wan Zhiyi? That was the name of the All-Dao family’s grand elder!

The various Envoys were not the only ones shocked, as Wan Sen and the other members of the All-Dao family who had been banished to the Forsaken Soldiers had also been ignorant to the fact that their family’s grand elder had been underground. Wan Sen started trembling from anger.

How majestic had the All-Dao family’s grand elder been when the Lu family had still been around!? Even the four ruling powers’ Progenitors had needed to show respect to Wan Zhiyi back then. He had been allowed to freely come and go from the Lu family’s territory, and yet he had actually been exiled underground, beneath the Folded Mountains, stepped upon by everyone who tread upon the mountains. How humiliating!

Young Master Tu's eyes turned bloodshot. The All-Dao family had an inseparable relationship with the Qiming family. Overflowing with rage, Young Master Tu muttered to himself, "Grandpa Zhiyi? Grandpa Zhiyi? Is that you?"

Hidden in the void, Semi-Progenitors Ji Feng and Liu Hua had been unaware that anyone had been beneath the mountain range. These arrangements had been made back when the Lu family had still been in power before their exile. The two Semi-Progenitors had been told that there was a powerhouse supporting the Forsaken Soldiers, but despite the many years that had pa.s.sed, they had never seen or spoken to anyone. They had never considered that the All-Dao family’s grand elder, Wan Zhiyi, would be their secret support in the dark. This old man had long been famous throughout the Perennial World.

"I really can't understand it. Just why are they keeping you old retainers alive? The Lu family will never be able to return. They’ve been destroyed! You should have gone with your master back then."

Lu Yin's eyes turned cold as he stared at Marquis Green Bamboo.

"My master’s family will not die so easily, and they will return sooner or later. For now, begone," the ancient voice ordered. The hand rising out of the ground opened and slapped at Marquis Green Bamboo with an open palm that contained an indescribable power. It was clearly just a single slap, but anyone who saw it would feel as if they had seen ten thousand strikes.

One silhouette after another pa.s.sed through the void. They surpa.s.sed the ages as they came until they became a barrage of palm prints that shot towards Marquis Green Bamboo one after another.

The marquis’s scarlet eyes changed dramatically, and his body transformed into a shoot of green bamboo that shone brightly as the ten thousand palm strikes smashed against the bamboo in the void.

The next moment, s.p.a.ce itself tore open. Everyone felt a terrible pressure beat down upon their heads, and this was because beyond the spatial tear was not the void, nor anything else. However, a terrible pressure descended upon the entire mountain range, as well as Xiang City. Countless individuals vomited blood and pa.s.sed out.

Even Lu Yin found himself lying on the ground due to the pressure of the collision. He was unable to exert the slightest bit of control over the star energy in his body right now. With great effort, Lu Yin looked up, but all that he could see was a cracked green bamboo shoot retreating. After that, Marquis Xiang also retreated, along with the countless corpse kings. All of the monsters left the Stacking Mountain Range and returned to Xiang City.

As Lu Yin looked around, he saw that more than half of the humans occupying the Folded Mountains had fainted.

Semi-Progenitors Ji Feng and Liu Hua landed on the ground and bowed towards the ground. "Thank you for your help, senior."

Wan Zhiyi did not reply. All that he had done was thrust a hand out of the ground, and yet that had been enough to repel Marquis Green Bamboo.

Semi-Progenitor Ji Feng was absolutely shocked. He thought back to the glory that the All-Dao family had enjoyed in the past. They had truly been qualified to reside in the Higher Realm alongside the Lu family. If one discounted the Progenitors, then the All-Dao family had been strong enough to equal even the current four ruling powers.

Back then, the person in the All-Dao family who had been the closest to the Progenitor realm had been the family’s grand elder. There had been some rumors that Wan Zhiyi might be able to break into the Progenitor realm, but he had later suffered a drastic setback.

At this moment, that great powerhouse was actually trapped and imprisoned beneath the Stacking Mountain Range, which was truly a pitiful end.

Wan Sen, Mr. Guo, and the other descendants of the All-Dao family who had been exiled to the Stacking Mountain Range all knelt down. "We greet the Grand Elder."

"We greet the Grand Elder."

"Junior Wan Sen is honored to see the Grand Elder."

…

There was no response at all, and it seemed as though Wan Zhiyi had entered a deep slumber. No matter how Wan Sen shouted, there was not a single word of response.
