Star Odyssey - Chapter 2893: One Word Manifestation

Neither Lu Yin nor Luo Shan hesitated, and they both fled in two different directions at the same time. At the moment, they had no other thoughts aside from escaping. They did not want to fight one of the Seven Skygods to the death.

Shaman God gave a strange smile, and rays of light shot out to form a huge sourcebox array.

Lu Yin and Luo Shan were both trapped within the array.

“Don’t even think about escaping, Luo Shan. I’m offering you a chance to join Aeternus,” Shaman God said with a grin.

Luo Shan sneered. “You really think you can trap me? You’re underestimating me too much.”

“Kakaka, this isn’t the Origin Universe or the Cyclic Universe. Our strength isn’t restricted at all here. You should already understand what that means from the Endless Frontier,” Shaman God threatened.

Luo Shan looked quite afraid. “That’s why I don’t have any intention of fighting you to the death.”

He looked at Lu Yin. “It’s a pity that I wasn’t able to kill you myself, but I do hope that you won’t betray humanity.”

Monarch Luo then held Monarch Mu tightly as sequence particles condensed at his fingertips. He pointed forward. “New World, open.”

Lu Yin watched as Luo Shan opened the Hollow, and then stepped into it and disappeared while holding Monarch Mu.

There were rumors that Luo Shan had once emerged from the Hollow, and that it was that incident that had caused him to gain the Great Sovereign’s respect.

Chen Le had told Lu Yin that the rumors were false, and countless people throughout the Sixverse Association believed them to be fake as well, but the story was actually true.

Lu Yin had already known this from Monarch Mu, and thus understood that Luo Shan had the ability to temporarily enter the Hollow. This had nothing to do with the man’s strength, but with his sequence particles. Even so, not even Monarch Mu knew which law of the universe Luo Shan had mastered.

By entering the Hollow, Luo Shan could escape without issue.

While Luo Shan knew that he could escape, he did not believe that Lu Yin could do the same, and neither did Shaman God.

“Child of the Lu family, why don’t I offer you a chance to join Aeternus? Kakaka.”

Lu Yin let out a breath. “Goodbye.”

Upon speaking, Lu Yin released his universe from within his chest. His surroundings warped and twisted as a shell of the Hollow appeared around Lu Yin. Everywhere that the Transcendent Universe came into contact with Lu Yin’s universe, the resistance between the two universes caused the Hollow to open.

Shaman God stared in a daze. Just what was Lu Yin doing? He was repelling the universe that they were in?

Lu Yin took a step forward and broke free of Shaman God’s sourcebox array, leaving just as easily as Luo Shan.

The sourcebox array had been arranged in the Transcendent Universe, but the Hollow was a break in a universe. This was why Lu Yin had been so confident that he could also escape.

First Luo Shan and then Lu Yin. The sourcebox array that Shaman God had asked Lord Wei to construct with manifested thoughts to stall the two humans, yet had failed entirely.

Even so, Shaman God’s expression never changed.

Lu Yin rushed away from where the Energy Research Group was based, only to be faced with countless Shaman God dolls that were scattered throughout the void. Even so, Lu Yin pressed forward. He was surrounded by the Hollow, which separated him from the Transcendent Universe. That meant that nothing in the Transcendent Universe could stop him.

Events proved Lu Yin’s assumption to be correct, and the dolls failed to stop him. He did not force his way through with brute strength, but sliced through with the Hollow.

Unless a power surpassed the strength of the Transcendent Universe and was able to impact the Hollow, nothing could trap Lu Yin.

After some time had passed, Lu Yin saw another of Shaman God’s dolls before him. Lu Yin should have already escaped, so why was there still a doll?

Elsewhere, an ugly expression appeared on Luo Shan’s face as well. He also had one of Shaman God’s dolls in front of him, but how was that possible? He had clearly entered the Hollow, so how could anything trap him?

Monarch Mu was terrified, as the sight of the dolls left her trembling.

“Kakaka, this is Shaman Maze! The sourcebox array you just escaped from was only there to test what you were capable of. This maze once trapped Gu Yizhi on the Third Mainland.”

Shaman God’s words caused Lu Yin’s hair to stand on end. Gu Yizhi had been a Dao Monarch. This maze was capable of trapping even a Dao Monarch?

“Explode.” A soft voice reached his ears.

All around Lu Yin, space condensed, and then suddenly exploded.

He quickly dodged, moving away from where he had been standing. That area was completely obliterated, and the Hollow appeared in a space of about a meter wide.

“Explode.”

“Explode.”

“Explode.”

The soft voice continued to ring in Lu Yin’s ears.

He relied on his control of space and Heaven’s Sight to just barely be able to evade each explosion before it occurred.

Luo Shan was in a much worse situation. While he was able to clearly observe what was happening to the space around him, he was unable to evade before it exploded. Additionally, the attacks that Shaman God aimed at Luo Shan possessed a greater number of sequence particles, which caused the Monarch to be repeatedly struck by spatial explosions. His arms, legs, abdomen, and back were all riddled with wounds.

“Explode.” The soft voice spoke again, and this time, Monarch Mu’s head exploded, the force shaking Luo Shan back.

The Monarch stared blankly at Monarch Mu’s corpse, sadness welling up in his heart. Even more than that, he felt completely powerless.

This was the true strength of one of the Seven Skygods.

They had been restricted during the battle in the Cyclic Universe, due to being shunned in that universe. Only on the Endless Frontier were they able to exert their full power. Luo Shan had accidentally gotten caught up in a fight between Sovereign Dou Sheng and Corpse God, which had given the Monarch a clear understanding of just how unfathomably powerful the Seven Skygods were. There were very few individuals in the entire Sixverse Association who were capable of standing up to the Seven Skygods when they could access their true power.

It was beyond Luo Shan’s abilities, and also beyond Lord Wei. Even Lord Xu might not be able to fight against the full strength of one of the Seven Skygods.

The Sixverse Association appeared to be extremely powerful, given the number of peak powerhouses they had, but there were too few who had the strength to resist the Seven Skygods while on the Endless Frontier.

Lu Yin kept dodging, drifting through space and reversing time by a second when necessary.

The assault on him reminded him of the portion of his Semi-Progenitor tribulation when he had been struck by lightning and had needed to dodge the shattering of space at the same time. Shaman Maze left Lu Yin feeling as though he was back in his stellular tribulation with no way to escape.

More and more sequence particles kept attacking.

“Child of the Lu family, as long as you join Aeternus, I can promise that you will be made the eighth Skygod. True God will grant you power which will help you transform. You will have no equal among humans,” Shaman God tempted.

Lu Yin let out a heavy breath, and then waved a hand. A Zenith Mountain appeared. “Ancestor, I have done my best, so I’ll have to leave this to you now.”

Space rippled in a violent manner as someone emerged from the Zenith Mountain. “Shaman God, we meet again.”

Shaman Maze quivered.

Luo Shan suddenly found that space had stopped exploding. Shaman God was no longer attacking him.

After a brief moment, a sharp shout rang out, “Lu Tianyi?”

The person who had emerged from the Zenith Mountain was, of course, Lu Tianyi.

Someone had once cautioned others that no matter what happened on the rear battlefield, Lu Yin would never be allowed to visit any universe unaccompanied. It was not a surprise that Lu Tianyi was with him.

Lu Yin had not asked Lu Tianyi out during the battle with Lord Wei, nor when he had been trying to escape from Shaman God’s sourcebox array. Lu Tianyi had not been asked to help so that LU Yin could see the limits of Shaman God’s strength.

Ancestor Lu Yuan, Ancestor Lu Tianyi, and even Big Sis had repeatedly warned Lu Yin to never underestimate the Seven Skygods. Lu Yin had taken those warnings to heart, and never underestimated the Seven Skygods.

If one of the Seven Skygods was unable to trap even Lu Yin, then there was no chance that they were revealing their true strength.

With Shaman Maze being used, as well as the endless attacks from the Skygod that included sequence particles, Lu Yin knew that it was time.

Shaman Maze had appeared, and this was something that had once trapped even Gu Yizhi. If this was not the limit of Shaman God’s strength, then how could humans have survived for so long?

Lu Tianyi looked around. “This is the same power that was used during the Battle of Turtledove River, yet you have never used it in our universe. Is that because of being shunned? Shaman God, do your best to survive this day.”

“Lu Tianyi, do you really think you can handle me?” Shaman God shouted as a massive region of space collapsed. Shaman God’s doll let out a strange laugh.

Lu Tianyi sneered. “Ancestor reminded me that you were seriously injured during the battle on the Endless Frontier. Right now is the best time to kill you!”

From when Shaman God had been talking to themself, Lu Yin had learned that during the massive battle on the Endless Frontier, Shaman God had been fighting against Lord Wei’s thoughts in a staged confrontation. However, Shaman God had still nearly died during that battle. Apparently, Ancestor Lu Yuan had had something to do with that.

Shaman God sounded rather upset. “I should have trapped that old bastard Lu Yuan from the beginning.

“Explode!”

“Dao of One Heavens, One Word Manifestation.”

Space warped and twisted in all directions around where the Energy Research Group had been working, and then it all exploded.

The entire Transcendent Universe started to crack and break as countless spatial tears shot out, carrying disaster with them.

Shaman Maze was destroyed by the confrontation between Lu Tianyi and Shaman God. Taking advantage of the sudden opportunity, Luo Shan escaped. There was no hesitation.

He did not want to face either Shaman God or Lu Tianyi, as they were both absolute monsters.

Lu Yin was forced to enter Evernight to avoid getting caught up in the battle.

Finally, he had managed to see Ancestor Lu Tianyi’s true power. The man had only used three fingers to defeat Nutjob Lu, but it was also clear that Lu Tianyi did not hold any advantage when facing Shaman God. An indescribable sea of sequence of particles roiled like an ocean, shrouding everything in the Transcendent Universe.

Shaman God’s sequence particles that seemed to be related to the power of space were bombarded and constantly consumed.

“If I weren’t seriously injured, you would never be able to suppress me, Lu Tianyi!” Shaman God was unwilling to give up.

Lu Tianyi responded with an indifferent tone, “My ancestor told me that I must destroy you. The debt you owe from the Battle of Turtledove River needs to be repaid.”

“Kakaka, still? You’re going to do that on your own? Even if Lu Yuan shows up, he can’t keep me here!” Divine energy erupted from Shaman God’s body, and shot towards Lu Tianyi.

The Progenitor’s expression changed. Divine energy was a power that could overwhelm everything. With this attack from Shaman God, Lu Tianyi could not instantly break through.

Shaman God turned around and suddenly appeared right next to the massive machine that was used to study sequence particles. He intended to escape with it. This research was the entire reason he had remained in the Transcendent Universe. This research could alter humanity’s power, but it could also do the same for Aeternus.

Lu Yin’s eyes blazed red. He could not allow Shaman God to take the research away.

Lu Yin shot towards the divine energy. Ancestor Lu Tianyi was unable to break through divine energy in an instant, but Lu Yin could open a path.

Lu Tianyi was startled by Lu Yin’s actions, and grabbed him. “Little Seven, don’t be impulsive.”

At this moment, Shaman God should have been leaving, yet the Skygod suddenly vomited blood, and fear filled his eyes. “What’s going on? Are you injured? Didn’t you say that no one can kill you? Escape!”

“Shut up!” Shaman God shouted. Lord Wei had been the one to panic a moment before.

Shaman God tore the void open. Behind, Lu Tianyi pushed Lu Yin away while facing Shaman God. “One Word Manifestation: Break! I told you you can’t escape.”

As Lu Tianyi spoke, Shaman God’s body cracked. The Skygod was unable to maintain a hold of the machine, and it slipped from the man’s hand. He turned back to look at Lu Tianyi in shock. “You’ve reached this level?”

Lu Tianyi stood in front of the Skygod, parting the divine energy. The Progenitor took a step forward, and peered down at Shaman God while pointing a finger forward, just as he had done when faced with Nutjob Lu. This finger had left Nutjob Lu desperate and unable to fight back.

Madness filled Shaman God’s eyes, even as cracks continued to spread across the body. Dots of space condensed and then shot into the body. They were Space Sequence Particles that could be seen even without Heaven’s Sight.

The only other time Lu Yin had seen sequence particles in this same manner had been when the Great Sovereign had done so during her Tea Ceremony.

Shaman God’s body suddenly shattered, and the Space Sequence Particles that had entered his body abruptly connected together to form a sourcebox array.
