Star Odyssey

Chapter 1658: That Aura

On Nightking Planet, Nightking Leng, Nightking Siluo, and Nightqueen Qiuyu all attacked the Lu Elite Troops,who were accompanied by a few members of the Daynight bloodline such as Duane Daynight. Lu Yin had brought the members of the Daynight clan from Zenyu Star here to witness the destruction of the Nightking clan.

Duane Daynight and the others held back the powerhouses like Nightking Leng while the Lu Elite Troops swept through the rest of Nightking Planet. Even though the Nightking clan had strong static defenses, they were worthless against the Lu Elite Troops.

Zhuo Daynight was also present. She easily moved past the Night Watch Pagoda and arrived at the field where she had once knelt to Nightking Zhenwu and where Lu Yin had been poisoned. She had learned of her parents’ death and had suffered true despair in this place. Despite all of that, she had also received new hope here. This was the place where everything began, though it was also where everything would end.

She stared off into the distance. Zhuo Daynight was looking at where Ellen Gale and the entire Fireplume Tribe had died. Even now, she could still feel the impact of the despair induced by Nightking Zhenwu.

Above her, the Lu Elite Troops were slaughtering the Daynight clan.

This place was where she had suffered immense pain, and everything was finally going to end on this day.

Nightking Dijiang dodged an attack from Liu Ye, Fei Hua, and even Cang Zhou. Suddenly, he spun around and used a Darkwind Finger against Lu Yin. He knew that the moment Lu Yin was defeated, Cang Zhou would disappear, and the battle would end.

The Daynight patriarch had finally understood that Lu Yin had no plans of cooperating with the Sixth Mainland to attack the Sword Sect; the youth’s true intentions had been to deal with the Daynight clan!

Lu Yin lifted his hand. He brought out the Chief Justice’s bell and rang it.

Before Nightking Dijiang was able to use the Darkwind Finger, he and everybody in Daynight Flowzone felt the immense pressure of the Chief Justice. Everybody was momentarily frozen, including Lu Yin.

Nobody could withstand the Chief Justice’s pressure, as it was almost comparable to that of a Semi-Progenitor.

Due to the Chief Justice’s bell, Cang Zhou, Liu Ye, Fei Hua, and Nightking Dijiang were all immobilized and unable to do anything besides watch as Nightking Planet was destroyed. However, Lu Yin was still unable to take out Nightking Dijiang himself as Liu Ye and Fei Hua were not able to defeat the man.

“Lu Yin, do you really want to become the Nightking clan’s mortal enemy? If we are destroyed today, I swear to find a dark corner to wait in forever for the opportunity to destroy you!” Nightking Dijiang roared.

Lu Yin’s expression grew sharp. “Even if I don’t destroy the Nightking clan, you would still kill me the moment you see the chance. You participated in the war in the Cosmic Sea, and you will definitely attack again when I move to deal with the Sword Sect. Instead of constantly being on guard against you, I’d rather remove this problem now.”

“I swear that I will completely seal off the Daynight clan and that we will not venture out for a thousand years! Stop now!” Nightking Dijiang bellowed.

Lu Yin did not move.

The Daynight clan’s ancestral grounds were destroyed by the giants, and a massive hole appeared in Nightking Planet as well.

Nightking Dijiang was kept blocked off by Cang Zhou, Liu Ye, and Fei Hua. He sighed. “It’s my fault. I couldn’t protect our clan.”

He clenched a fist and raised his hand high. Lu Yin was familiar with this movement; it was Skybreaker.

This Skybreaker was not aimed at Lu Yin or even Liu Ye and Fei Hua. Rather, it was directed towards the stone tablet.

Nightking Dijiang brought his hand down, and his spiritual force created a storm that swept through the region. The maelstrom shattered space and created a small spatial tear.

That hole suddenly grew, and star energy surged out in visible waves.

Lu Yin was astounded, and he suddenly saw countless runes streaming out from the hole. These runes did not represent power level, but rather an endless amount of star energy that had almost condensed into liquid. This star energy was similar to what had appeared when Lu Yin vaporized star essence with his Skyblaze Stone.

The difference was that the star energy coming out of the hole far exceeded the amount of star energy released when he used the Skyblaze Stone.

He was vaguely able to see mountains within the hole.

“It’s a spatial tear! This place is an intersection of two parallel universes!” Fei Hua blurted out.

Liu Ye softly replied, “No, it’s a pocket dimension.”

Lu Yin carefully observed the hole. He remembered the ancient centipede that had fallen out of a pocket dimension in Northline Flowzone, as well as the hidden Bizarre Sect on Aegis’s headquarters planet.

Hmm?

There were living creatures inside that hole. That was a living beast!

Numerous massive astral beasts charged out from the hole, and some of them rushed towards the Daynight clan’s ancestral grounds while others shot into the sky. Still others rushed towards Nightking Planet.

There were many beasts; some of them were quite powerful while others were rather weak. It seemed like a connection had been formed to the isolated pocket space.

Nightking Dijiang glanced towards the ancestral grounds and Nightking Planet. He then ground his teeth and charged into the hole.

At the same time, on Starsibyl Planet, Starsibyl turned towards Daynight Flowzone, and her eyebrows rose high. A nearly hidden delight could be seen in her eyes; was it that aura?

***

In the Outerverse’s Morrow Weave, on a highly technologically developed planet, a huge crowd of people were surrounding an old man clad in rags. The old man’s eyes were half closed, and he had an extremely mysterious look to him. There was a flag on a wooden stick next to him, and the words “Starsibyl’s Ninth Grandfather” was written on one side of the flag while “Fortune Telling—Believe It If You Will” was written on the other side. The man was Xuan Jiu.

On this technologically developed planet, Xuan Jiu’s outfit caused him to look like he had come from an ancient era.

“Er, this- this- mister,” a man shouted carefully. “Can you really perform divinations?”

Xuan Jiu stroked his beard. “I see that there’s a dark energy between your brows. Have you been unlucky recently?”

The guy blinked and thought back. “Actually, I wanted to find out about my love life.”

Xuan Jiu opened his eyes. “You’re stupid. How can you find love if you don’t have a career? You’re unlucky, and you have to get rid of your bad luck before you can succeed in your career.”

“I just completed a contract. I’ll become a billionaire soon,” the guy hesitantly stated.

Xuan Jiu shouted, “Stupid! It’s fake. It’s a lie! You’ve been scammed!”

The man’s face twitched. “It’s a contract with my dad. My company’s working with my dad’s company.”

Xuan Jiu gulped. “Your dad, is he your real dad?”

The man was stunned, and the people in the crowd started looking at Xuan Jiu oddly. This old man was clearly manufacturing bad luck for the man.

Suddenly, Xuan Jiu turned towards Daynight Flowzone, and his expression changed. “How can that be? So many auras? Where are they coming from?”

He suddenly disappeared, leaving his flag behind.

The surrounding crowd were all shocked; he vanished?

“An expert! He’s an expert!” someone shouted and quickly knelt down.

Everyone else also started kneeling down, and they prayed to the flag.

As for the man who had wanted a divination on his love life, those five words kept repeating in his mind. “Is he your real dad?”

“Is he your real dad?”

“Is he your real dad?”

…

He considered his past and all the scoldings and beatings that he had endured. He even remembered his dad once saying that he had been picked up from a bin. The man suddenly realized that all of that had to be true, as the master who had just left could not be wrong. His “father” was not his real father! The man started to run around as though he had gone insane, and the surrounding people all pitied him.

In Daynight Flowzone, the hole grew larger and larger as more beasts emerged from it.action

Fortunately, none of these beasts had the strength of an Envoy, and at most, they were at the Enlighter level, which meant that the Lu Elite Troops and the colossal giants were able to defeat all the beasts.

At the moment, Lu Yin’s greatest concern was Nightking Dijiang; Lu Yin did not want to let that man escape.

Lu Yin immediately ordered Liu Ye and Fei Hua to go after the Daynight patriarch.

Fei Hua snorted. “We’re not going after him. We don’t mind helping you with normal matters, but that guy chose to run into that hole instead of escaping. He clearly has a backup plan, and we don’t want to die.”

Liu Ye turned to Lu Yin. “Don’t make things difficult for us. Nobody wants to die.”

Lu Yin put away the Champions’ Stage. He had already become very pale from using up so much of his death energy reserve. “Even though you two might not be able to defeat him, he also can’t kill you.”

Fei Hua’s voice grew cold. “There’s no point in trying to persuade us. We won’t go in.”

Lu Yin frowned. He could not force the two to do as he wanted, as they could just hide somewhere on the other side after passing through the hole, and they might not even tell Lu Yin if they saw Nightking Dijiang.

“Mister Lu, please look carefully. How could we just rush into a place like that?” Liu Ye said grimly as he pointed at the hole.

Lu Yin looked at where the Envoy was pointing and saw the mountains on the other side of the hole. There was a sign at the bottom of the mountains, and it was formed from a cloud.

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. “The Celestial Frost Sect?”

Liu Ye replied, “That’s right. Those are the Celestial Frost Sect’s ruins in the Fifth Mainland. Even powerhouses with a power level of a million might die after entering, let alone people like us. You should already know how powerful the Celestial Frost Sect is—they have Semi-Progenitors and even Progenitors.”

However, Lu Yin absolutely could not allow Nightking Dijiang to go free after he realized that the man had fled into the ruins of the Celestial Frost Sect. Lu Yin had no idea what sort of power Nightking Dijiang could potentially gain after entering such a place.

Regardless, Lu Yin was still confident that Nightking Dijiang would not be able to gain anything overly powerful from the Celestial Frost Sect’s ruins; otherwise, the Daynight clan would have entered the Neoverse long ago. However, Nightking Dijiang was already quite powerful, and things would become much more difficult if the man’s strength increased even more.

Lu Yin had to eliminate Nightking Dijiang, or else he would never feel a moment of peace.

Lu Yin turned to Liu Ye. “Kill Nightking Dijiang for me, and I’ll set you free.”

Liu Ye and Fei Hua looked at each other before turning back to Lu Yin. “Are you sure?”

“Yes. As long as you get rid of Nightking Dijiang, I’ll talk to Arch-Elder Zen and ask him to set you free. You guys should know that I’m a trustworthy person and that I don’t break my promises.”

He hesitated a moment but finally took a blood-red bell out from his cosmic ring and tossed it over to Liu Ye. “You should be able to keep yourselves safe with this.”

Liu Ye caught the bell. He already knew that this item was from the Chief Justice and that it could even stun powerhouses who had survived six stellular tribulations. This should indeed be enough for them to stay safe. Still, that place was the Celestial Frost Sect.

Fei Hua was also hesitant.

Lu Yin bellowed, “If we don’t get rid of Nightking Dijiang, you’ll also never enjoy a moment’s peace as long as you’re with me. Are you confident that you can avoid his ambush attacks forever?”

Liu Ye frowned. “Fine, but it’s a promise: after we deal with Nightking Dijiang, you’ll set us free.”

“Deal!” Lu Yin shouted.

Fei Hua was still hesitant, but there was only one option available to them.

Liu Hua charged into the hole with his wife, and they chased after Nightking Dijiang.

However, the two were not powerful enough to defeat Nightking Dijiang, not to mention actually kill him. Even though Lu Yin had given them the Chief Justice’s bell, it still would not be possible for the two of them to kill the Daynight patriarch. Lu Yin’s eyes flashed. “Elder Jiu Shen, I know that you’re still here. Please come out.”
