Star Odyssey

Chapter 3057: A Shocking Collision

The mantis dodged the spear while moving at the speed of time and then flew towards Di Qiong. Lu Yin threw another 100 confined punches. There was a bang as his fist struck Di Qiong’s back, but the impact only made him stagger slightly. Gritting his teeth, Lu Yin continued to throw more punches, determined to break through Di Qiong's defenses.

However, after dozens of punches, Lu Yin's arms were numb, while Di Qiong had merely been pushed back a few meters. He stood there, unshaken like a towering mountain. Lu Yin felt completely helpless.

He had no choice but to pull out the slipper again. When he did so, Di Qiong turned around and stared at Lu Yin.

Di Qiong might not have comprehended the power of time, but at his level, even mysterious powers like time were no longer unreachable.

"How many more punches do you want to throw?" Di Qiong’s pupilless eyes sent chills running down Lu Yin’s spine.

The Seven-Star Mantis shot at Di Qiong again, and the slipper in Lu Yin’s hand fell in a fierce strike.

Pages reappeared in the surrounding area, and one of them emitted a soft glow; it was the page with the image of Lu Yin holding the slipper. As soon as the pages appeared, Lu Yin's movements were frozen once again. Fortunately, the Seven-Star Mantis was unaffected, and it carried Lu Yin a few meters past Di Qiong.

Lu Yin clearly saw Di Qiong clench his fists, and his spear returned from far away.

A hand of light fell from up above them, filled with countless sequence particles. The three elephants used their full power, but even so, their strength meant nothing before Di Qiong’s spear.

Di Qiong’s eyes suddenly flared, and the pages that surrounded him suddenly spread out. They enveloped Lu Yin, the Divine Maiden, the three elephants, and almost all of Aeternus Nation. More pages lit up, including one with the image of Lu Yin holding the slipper, one of the Divine Maiden using the power of the four elephants, the three elephants, and Lu Yin riding on the Seven-Star Mantis.

At that moment, Lu Yin and all the others were immobilized.

Lu Yin was shocked. What kind of Progenitor’s world was this? How could it be so strong?

Di Qiong sneered as he thrust his spear at Lu Yin.

As the dangerous weapon approached, Lu Yin quickly unsummoned the Seven-Star Mantis, which allowed him to move once again. He also released the universe from his chest while summoning all of his Progenitor-level champions, including Kong Ji. More and more peak powerhouses appeared, and they shielded Lu Yin, ready to sacrifice themselves to Di Qiong. As for Di Qiong himself, he was completely stunned. Was this the power of the Lu family's Champions' Stage? It truly was miraculous, though Lu Yin’s efforts were futile.

Just one thrust of Di Qiong’s spear dispersed the summoned peak powerhouses. Kong Ji was the last to disappear, but even he had no way to put up any sort of defenses before he was shattered. Another page from Di Qiong’s Progenitor’s world lit up.

The spear pierced through the shell of the Hollow that surrounded Lu Yin. The tearing force that appeared between the two opposing universes was something that even Di Qiong feared, but his spear still steadily pushed towards Lu Yin.

As the spear drew closer and almost reached his face, Lu Yin pulled out his Evernight card and pushed it towards Di Qiong. Instantly, Di Qiong was sucked into the card.

Evernight was a card that had the same level of power as the Lost Clan’s Great Elder, which was very close to the pinnacle of strength that peak powerhouses could achieve. Naturally, Evernight was able to pull Di Qiong in.

However, Di Qiong was only inside Evernight for less than a second before he burst back out. The card could not contain him.

Still, that was all the time that Lu Yin needed.

As Di Qiong burst out of Evernight, Abyssal Flowers blossomed beneath him. Big Sis had arrived.

The flowers tried to devour Di Qiong. He frowned and swept his spear out, tearing through the Abyssal Flowers.

Big Sis shouted, "Wasn't Forgotten Ruins God just here? Who else dares to cause trouble here?"

The colossal Lord of the Abyss appeared, and the figure reached out for Di Qiong with an arm that had sequence particles twined about it. Even just that movement caused the void to twist.

Di Qiong looked over and realized that a sequence powerhouse had appeared. He punched at the Lord of the Abyss’s hand, which resulted in a tremendous explosion that flipped the sky and earth. The Lord of the Abyss’s arm exploded despite being reinforced with sequence particles. Big Sis stepped back, shock covering her face. She had no idea who this monster was.

"Be careful! His physical strength is ridiculous!" Lu Yin warned.

"Then let's see how he handles this." Shao Chen, the once mad dean of Astral-10, had also arrived. He stared at Di Qiong, who suddenly appeared rather confused. Was he experiencing someone else’s life? However, it was impossible to keep someone as powerful as Di Qiong trapped for long.

Di Qiong was incredibly powerful, and even though Shao Chen was able to momentarily affect the man, it was impossible to prevent Di Qiong from attacking. His spear continued to move forward, thrusting at Lu Yin. At the same time, another spear appeared, and it instantly stabbed at Shao Chen.

Arch-Elder Zen and Brother Qing Ping also arrived at the scene.

Arch-Elder Zen immediately used the Tri-Yang Ancestral Qi Technique to summon Ancestor Tianyi, who instantly pointed a finger at Di Qiong. The spear’s advance was stopped, and the attack was redirected towards Di Qiong himself.

As this happened, Qing Ping's expression grew serious, as he pondered which judgment to conduct.

Lu Yin used Inverse Step to retreat bit by bit. Down below, the Great Sage Elephant rushed over, letting out a roar as it attacked.

It took everyone’s combined efforts to force Di Qiong back.

In particular, the summoned Lu Tianyi that Arch-Elder Zen had brought out caused Di Qiong to feel particularly nervous when the finger was directed towards him.

Lu Yin was breathing heavily. He understood that they were facing an opponent who truly was at the same level as the Seven Skygods. Without Ancestor Lu Tianyi himself, it was impossible for them to kill Di Qiong.

Di Qiong's expression fell. The Sixverse Association had successfully invaded the First Scourge, and it was rumored that both Ancient God and Progenitor Xi had participated in that battle. This meant that the Sixverse Association had at least a few powerhouses comparable to Aeternus’s experts.

While confident in his invincibility, Di Qiong knew that he needed to be wary of such formidable enemies.

Even an ant, no matter how weak it may be, can kill an elephant, he thought.

As his eyes swept over everyone present, he decided not to waste any more time.

He tightened his grip on his spear, and his eyes locked onto Lu Yin. Di Qiong shot forward, determined to eliminate Lu Yin.

Big Sis and the others all attacked, but this time, Di Qiong ignored everything targeted at him. He was solely focused on Lu Yin and the spear. While this attack appeared quite simple, it was able to pierce through all obstacles.

Lu Yin felt a chill. The threat emanating from Di Qiong had suddenly spiked, and Lu Yin could see sequence particles gathering around Di Qiong. The man was finally using his sequence particles.

Big Sis’ attack landed first, but Di Qiong neither dodged nor blocked it. He simply allowed the attack to land next to him, where it tore the ground and the death energy beneath it open.

In the same manner, Arch-Elder Zen’s summoned Lu Tianyi aimed his attack at the ground as well.

Their attacks appeared to be useless.

Di Qiong moved like he was striding over the sky itself. Any and all attacks could only slide off, and nothing could touch him.

Lu Yin watched as the spear moved closer and closer.

"Judgment: near or far. I choose... far," Qing Ping's voice rang out, accompanied by the appearance of a pair of scales. One side appeared beneath Qing Ping's feet, while the other appeared under Di Qiong.

These scales formed around everyone and did nothing to interfere with Di Qiong's sequence particles.

However, what did “near or far” mean?

Di Qiong watched as the scales raised him up, and he turned to look at Qing Ping in astonishment.

Lu Yin heard the judgment as well. Di Qiong knew nothing about Senior Brother Qing Ping, and he was unable to react in time. However, Lu Yin understood what was happening. The rule that Qing Ping had chosen for his judgment was quite an infuriating one.

Choosing "far" meant that the further away Qing Ping was from Di Qiong, the more advantageous the judgment would be for Qing Ping. In contrast, the closer Di Qiong moved to Qing Ping, the more the advantage would fall to Di Qiong.

With Di Qiong so focused on killing Lu Yin, he was rapidly opening up the distance between himself and Qing Ping, which pushed the favor of the judgment into Qing Ping’s favor, raising Di Qiong into the sky.

The rule for this judgment was actually quite fair, as it could even turn things to Di Qiong’s advantage. However, for that to happen, he had to move closer to Qing Ping.

Instead, Di Qiong insisted on killing Lu Yin.

Qing Ping had chosen this judgment purely to save Lu Yin.

If Di Qiong decided to instead attack Qing Ping, the man would not only need to face Di Qiong's attack, but also the punishment of the judgment.

"Senior Brother!" Lu Yin's heart trembled.

As Di Qiong was pulled upwards, his temper snapped completely. An enormous burst of sequence particles erupted forth, and pressure fell from the sky as the scales shattered. Qing Ping spat out blood as he staggered backwards.

Lu Yin pulled out the God of Death's left arm scythe and attacked Di Qiong.

They were above a vast expanse of death energy, and it started to move.

Di Qiong’s spear had a countless number of sequence particles shrouding it, isolating it from everything, and he stabbed downwards.

A spear fell from above as a scythe blade rose up from below. They met mid-air with a resounding clash.

Bang!

The void warped, and the Aeternus Nation was severed from top to bottom. Lu Yin kept a tight hold on his scythe, merging with the glowing lines of Infinity. Behind him, the image of the Fifth Mainland appeared, and the visualization method elevated Lu Yin’s strength.

Above him, Di Qiong’s pupilless eyes glared at Lu Yin as he scoffed, "The power of the God of Death? Do you think that that’s enough? Even if the God of Death himself were here, so what?"

The scythe cracked. The spear broke through, and it stabbed into the God of Death’s left arm. It then pushed through, into Lu Yin’s hand.

Blood leaked from Lu Yin’s hand. From behind, attacks from Big Sis and the others were pressed downwards by Di Qiong’s sequence particles. There was no one who could help Lu Yin.

As blood streamed down his arm, it slowly took on a golden color; Lu Yin had activated Triumphant Brawl. At the same time, his arm withered, as he had also used Extremes Must Be Reversed.

The incredible power that forced the spear downwards caused Lu Yin’s arm to repeatedly recover and wither. The cycle repeated multiple times, only for Lu Yin to then release all the pent-up power in an instant. For the first time, he successfully pushed the spear back.

Down below, trapped within the death energy, Chong Gui, Dual Bladeform, and the Chiliagonist stared upwards in shock.

The pervasive death energy had been constantly corroding their bodies, so they were well aware of this energy’s power. How was this person able to suppress the death energy?

None of the True God Guard Captains recognized Di Qiong, but he noticed the divine energy inside their bodies.

The presence of this energy meant that these people were powerhouses from Aeternus, and ones with significant status at that. It turned out that Di Qiong was in the prison for the captives from Aeternus.

This was not a surprise to him, as the power of the God of Death was able to suppress even peak powerhouses.

As cracks continued to cover the scythe, Lu Yin gritted his teeth. It was clear that he could not endure another attack from Di Qiong’s spear. The spear fell down once more, and in order to avoid being skewered, Lu Yin used the attack to smash downwards into the ground. Di Qiong raced after Lu Yin, not noticing Lightstream as it flickered around. Time was reversed by one second.

That one second prevented Di Qiong from catching up to Lu Yin as he smashed into the ground and shattered it.

Just as Di Qiong was about to attack again, he suddenly turned around, his expression changing. He flung his spear to the side and reached into the ground to grab Lu Yin, as well as the captive captains.

"Who dares to touch my Little Seven?" A furious voice shook Aeternus Nation. Lu Yuan suddenly appeared, and he confronted Di Qiong with a palm strike that sent the spear flying away. Di Qiong’s expression crumpled. Lu Yuan?

As Lu Yuan attacked, Di Qiong clenched a fist and retaliated with a punch. His strength after undergoing the Pupilless Transformation was terrifying, and it had easily overwhelmed Lu Yin and the others. However, that same power was easily swept to the side by a slap from Ancestor Lu Yuan. Di Qiong’s wrist broke.

Lu Yuan was taken aback. "He actually survived one of my attacks?"

Di Qiong was shocked. How was this even possible? How was it possible that he could not match up to Lu Yuan? Di Qiong had believed that, even if the God of Death were present, he would not be beaten. Just how powerful had Lu Yuan become?
