Star Odyssey Chapter 2962: Overcome By A Tribulation

Chapter 2962: Overcome By A Tribulation

Lu Yin looked up. A census? The only information that he had on the Origin Universe’s hidden worlds was the Neoverse’s World League.

The World League had originally been the Hall of Honor’s wallet and had specialized in manufacturing, selling, and recycling hidden worlds. Through the World League, the Hall of Honor, and later the Heavens Sect, had a general understanding of the hidden worlds.

Among them were places like the Light World and the Red Prism World. Some of the hidden worlds were led by powerful Envoys, while many others were occupied by people who were incapable of surviving in the Neoverse and had hid to survive. Most of the hidden worlds’ combat strength could not even measure up to that of a minor flowzone in the Innerverse. With such strength, there was no need to have a full understanding of the hidden worlds.

Still, neither the previous Hall of Honor nor the current Heavens Sect would ever dare to make the claim that they fully understood all the hidden worlds.

Additionally, no one knew if there were any peak powerhouses concealed in a hidden world.

The Fifth Mainland had survived several very large battles, even one that could have wiped out all of humanity in the universe. There were times when the hidden worlds had been used, but no truly powerful individuals had been found in any of the hidden worlds. They were better used as a means of transportation.

However, Lu Yin still remembered when he had been traveling across the Honor Zone and a card had pa.s.sed by. That card had terrified Mu Tianlun, a Judicial Commissioner of the Interstellar Supreme Court. The man had been too frightened to even touch the card, and at the time, Lu Yin had suspected the hidden world of being home to an expert with a power level of over a million, possibly even someone close to the Semi-Progenitor level. Later, he had ordered that card to be searched for, but it had never been found.

The Chiliagonist’s question about the hidden worlds had reminded Lu Yin about that card. He knew nothing about it, but he certainly wanted to.

Still, regardless of what remained hidden, there should not be any Progenitors living in the 3,000 hidden worlds, which was why the Heavens Sect had never cared too much about them, and neither had Lu Yin. He had just happened to be reminded about his questions, and so was mulling things over.

The Chiliagonist casually replied, "I don't know anything about that. All of my missions have been related to the Endless Frontier, so I don’t know much about this universe. I would a.s.sume that we have some. It’s impossible to just ignore something with so much potential and not take a few hidden worlds.”

Lu Yin had the same thoughts.

In particular, Lu Yin desperately wanted Whiteless G.o.d's Aeterna, a list of all the spies and redbacks that Whiteless G.o.d had developed. The Origin Universe had uncovered a large number of spies, but quite a few still remained hidden, such as the names that Ye Bo had been given by Progenitor Xi. No one would have ever guessed that those few ordinary cultivators were actually Aeternus’s spies.

The cniu made its way towards the former Hall of Honor. While the Hall of Honor had been destroyed by the Seven SkyG.o.ds’ attack, it had been rebuilt in its original location. The only thing that had changed was that the Hall of Honor was no longer the center of power for the Fifth Mainland.

Up above, cultivators occasionally pa.s.sed by. The entire Honor Zone was completely different from when Lu Yin had first visited the place.

Back then, the Honor Zone had been a desolate place. It was possible to travel for weeks without seeing another person. At present, people occasionally pa.s.sed by overhead. It was clear that the overall strength of the Fifth Mainland's cultivators had increased tremendously.

A few days later, Lu Yin’s communication crystal trembled. He connected to the call and heard Old Mo’s voice, "I'm here. Where are you?"

"We’ll be there soon." Lu Yin put the communication crystal down and rose to his feet. "Let's go. He's here."

The cniu continued walking across the Honor Zone, swinging its tail back and forth. This time, there was no one on its back.

While Lu Yin and the Chiliagonist were on the cniu’s back, waiting for Old Mo, they had also been silently scouting to see whether there were any powerful cultivators in the Honor Zone. There seemed to be none at all.

Soon, Lu Yin and the Chiliagonist arrived at the ruins of the former Hall of Honor. There were some buildings that had been erected atop the ruins of the destroyed structures, but they could not compare to the majesty that had once been the Hall of Honor.

"Where’s Monster Mo?" The Chiliagonist looked around.

Lu Yin replied, "Don't worry about him. If we succeed and someone shows up to stop us from leaving, he’ll step in. We just need to capture Qing Ping. There’s no need for three Progenitors to work together for that."

"I’m first going to take control of some people to evaluate the situation. Qing Ping was attacked on the Endless Frontier before, and I’m worried that the Heavens Sect might have sent one of their powerhouses over to protect him," the Chiliagonist said as he spread out his consciousness. He instantly took control of more than a dozen people and had them move further in.

Lu Yin's eyes flickered at the sight of consciousness being used. He suddenly considered the possibility of s.n.a.t.c.hing away the Chiliagonist’s consciousness. If Lu Yin could do that, would it cause his die’s Possession ability to change?

That was an exciting thought, and it caused him to alter his plans. The Chiliagonist did not need to die.

A few hours later, the Chiliagonist’s expression changed. "I found Qing Ping."

Lu Yin looked over.

"Right now, it seems that there’s no powerhouse keeping an eye on him."

"How could your people find Qing Ping?" Lu Yin wondered.

The Chiliagonist replied, "He’s drinking tea."

"Tea?"

"Everyone deals with exhaustion at times, and it’s normal to relax and rest. When we’re about to take action and he’s still unprepared, I’ll use my consciousness to rattle his mind. All you’ll need to do is capture him. As long as there aren’t any experts nearby to protect him, we should be able to finish this quickly. Let’s go, and don’t hesitate,” the Chiliagonist warned.

Lu Yin nodded. "I understand."

"Go!" The Chiliagonist stared into the distance, and his consciousness fell as he tried to take control of Qing Ping. At the same time, Ye Bo stepped forward, approaching Qing Ping.

The teacup fell from Qing Ping's hand, shattering as it struck the ground. His vision grew blurry right as Lu Yin appeared and reached out to grab the Chief Justice.

Elsewhere, Old Mo's eyes lit up. They had succeeded!

At this moment, Qing Ping, who should have been under the control of the Chiliagonist’s consciousness, looked up and stared straight at Ye Bo, who was very close. Qing Ping’s body instantly vanished, and he reappeared far away. It was the Ce Secret Art.

Old Mo went bug-eyed. Was the Chiliagonist unable to control the man?

Lu Yin spun around and grabbed at Qing Ping again. This time, a powerful aura exploded as he took action. There was no need to hold back, as they had already exposed themselves.

The Chiliagonist was startled. Qing Ping deserved to be Lu Yin’s senior disciple brother. He could not be controlled? That did not matter, as Qing Ping could not escape from Ye Bo.

Old Mo thought the same thing.

When Ye Bo revealed his full strength, no one in the Honor Zone could stop him. Even if the Heavens Sect sent a Progenitor, it would take time for them to arrive.

Lu Yin did his best to act as Ye Bo. Qing Ping had only managed to evade the first attack because no one had expected him to be able to break free from the Chiliagonist’s control. However, against the full power of a Progenitor-level expert like Ye Bo, Qing Ping could do nothing. He was capable of fighting against ordinary Progenitors, but he was helpless before someone as strong as the True G.o.d Guard Captains.

Lu Yin's hand moved closer once more, and Qing Ping watched helplessly as he was grabbed. The man stood still, not seeming to react at all.

Suddenly, stars appeared in front of Ye Bo and instantly exploded.

He was forced to retreat.

The Chiliagonist’s pupils shrank. No! Lu Yin was present. Aeternus was aware of many of Lu Yin’s abilities, especially Star Stomp, which he could use by borrowing Progenitor Chen’s power. Lu Yin had taken action.

The Chiliagonist raced away. "Old Mo, now!"

Old Mo stopped hesitating and instantly took action, causing darkness to instantly envelop the area.

If all three men acted together, there was no way they would fail to capture Qing Ping.

However, all of them froze in place at the same time before fleeing. They had felt a terrible sense of danger. It did not come from a person, but rather from overhead.

They looked up to see a ma.s.sive vortex with a black hole at the center. No one knew when it had appeared.

"A Progenitor’s tribulation. Let's go!" Ye Bo shouted.

Needless to say, Old Mo had already pulled back his power of darkness, and the Chiliagonist had not reacted slowly either. He was already fleeing. In order to return to the Scourge, he needed to pa.s.s through a cosmic door. But the vortex of the Progenitor’s tribulation was spreading out, and he had to first leave the range of the stellular tribulation before he could try to use a cosmic door. The sense of danger left the Chiliagonist too nervous to stick around.

Shockingly, they had failed yet again. Three Progenitor-level experts, including a sequence powerhouse, had failed to capture a Semi-Progenitor twice.

Looking up, the Chiliagonist saw that he had moved beyond the stellular tribulation. He instantly pulled out a cosmic door. Ignoring Ye Bo, the Chiliagonist prepared to leave on his own.

Suddenly, stars appeared in front of him, and the Cosmic Art exploded.

Lu Yin was attacking again.

The Chiliagonist grabbed his cosmic door and fled. Lu Yin had used Progenitor Chen’s Star Stomp again. The power of the exploding stars was not small when real stars were exploding. Progenitor Chen had used the Cosmic Art to create countless stars throughout the Fifth Mainland, and detonating those stars with Star Stomp could produce enough power to threaten a Progenitor. However, Lu Yin was only detonating his simulated stars, which was not nearly powerful enough to threaten the Chiliagonist.

As the stars exploded, the Chiliagonist reacted. He did not have to worry about such a weak explosion. Again, he took out the cosmic door, only to have more stars appear in front of him. The Chiliagonist pressed a hand down, shattering the stars without a tremor pa.s.sing through the man’s body. This was not nearly enough power to prevent him from leaving.

Just as he was about to step through the cosmic door, Ye Bo shouted from behind, "Wait for me!"

The Chiliagonist looked back and frowned. "You-"

Before he could finish saying anything at all, Ye Bo shouted, "Watch out!"

Another star appeared, and the Chiliagonist casually destroyed it. Lu Yin seized the opportunity to appear next to the Chiliagonist, pa.s.s by the man, and move towards the cosmic door. The Chiliagonist was right behind Ye Bo.

Suddenly, Lu Yin stopped and turned around to face the Chiliagonist. The man was briefly stunned, and before he could react, he was struck by Lu Yin's palm strike. The attack landed on the Chiliagonist’s abdomen with enough force to nearly tear his body to pieces. It was just one attack, but Lu Yin had confined a hundred attacks and released them together. This was too much for even Zhang Pan to handle, who had the strongest body among the True G.o.d Guard Captains.

The Chiliagonist spat out a mouthful of blood as his body crumpled. He watched as Ye Bo moved further and further away.

The man stared at Ye Bo. Why?

Lu Yin turned around and stepped through the cosmic door, vanishing.

The Chiliagonist slammed to the ground with a bang, where he spat out blood yet again. He suppressed the agony he was suffering and tried to tear through the void in order to escape. There was something very wrong with Ye Bo.

At this moment, something entered the Chiliagonists’s mind. This feeling… The mortal world?

He looked up and saw the distant form of Shao Chen. The once-mad man slowly walked forward. "We meet again, old friend. Whose life would you like to experience this time?"

…

The stellular tribulation grew larger and larger, causing many cultivators to flee in every direction.

No one had expected Qing Ping to suddenly initiate his breakthrough, but this was actually part of Lu Yin's plan. Without this, how could Qing Ping possibly hope to resist being captured by three Progenitors? As for the breakthrough itself, Qing Ping had already decided to attempt it.

If the Heavens Sect tried to set a trap with Progenitors, it would invariably compromise Lu Yin’s ident.i.ty as Ye Bo. After all, Ye Bo had been the one to instigate the plan to sneak into Fifth Mainland to capture Qing Ping. The ident.i.ty of Ye Bo was still very useful, and Lu Yin did not want to lose it.

No one could be blamed for failure when a Progenitor’s tribulation ruined the mission.

As for the Chiliagonist’s failure to escape, that was his own problem. As long as Old Mo did not see Ye Bo attack the Chiliagonist, there would be no problems at all.
