Star Odyssey

Without sequence particles, a cultivator was nothing more than a peak powerhouse, pure and simple. There was nothing to set them apart from weaker cultivators, aside from their Progenitor’s world. But a seemingly ordinary Progenitor had just unleashed an unimaginable, terrifying level of power.

Not even Lu Yin himself had anticipated how powerful his Dust World would be after becoming a Progenitor’s world.

Bai Xian'er was unable to defend herself against Lu Yin’s Dust World. She could break or avoid the attacks, but she could not block them. If she tried, the columns of dirt would pierce right through her body.

The same was true for others as well.

All across the Second Scourge, Ancient God, Di Qiong, Arrow God, Forgotten Ruins God, Progenitor Xi, and others, such as Di Xia, Jie, and every one of Aeternus’s powerhouses, was targeted by the spear-like columns of soil. The attacks fell upon the Scourge like rain.

Jie was the first to die. He had been fighting against Supreme, and the battle had been fierce. Jie was one of Arrow God’s Five Elders from the Fifth Scourge, and he was a sequence powerhouse. Because of that, he had assumed that he could use his sequence particles to block the columns of dirt.

However, if even Bai Xian'er was incapable of blocking Dust World, then how could Jie?

A column of dirt instantly pulverized his body, leaving behind nothing more than a mist of blood that fell to the ground in the outline of a human shape, stunning Emperor Shang in Supreme.

Di Xia underwent a Pupilless Transformation while also releasing a surge of divine energy. Even so, he only managed to deflect the first dirt column. The second one still pierced his body, pinning him to the ground, even if it did not kill him.

The only person in the entire Third Scourge stronger than Di Xia was Di Qiong himself, which meant that Di Xia was one of Aeternus’s most powerful experts. He was possibly even comparable to one of Seven Skygods. However, Di Xia was still much, much weaker than Bai Xian'er.

Even if Bai Xian'er did not use her sequence particles, Di Xia would not stand a chance against her.

If she released her full power, Bai Xian’er was unquestionably equal to one of the Three Pillars and Six Skies. She was even capable of fighting against Ancient God, before his breakthrough. Even after the man became an Ortuser, he would still find it difficult to defeat Bai Xian'er.

Given the fact that Bai Xian'er was unable to block the soil columns, very few Aeternals could.

In fact, this was not only true of the Aeternals, as even the Boundary Guardians were targeted by Lu Yin's attack.

Tian Ci, Tian Feng, and Tian En all endured the rain of soil columns. These manifestations of Dust World carried the desires of all living creatures. Lu Yin’s Progenitor’s world was so powerful that even parallel universes had sought to prevent Dust World from transforming. This went to show how powerful Lu Yin’s first Progenitor’s world was.

Still, the Boundary Guardians were all Ortusers, so while they were wary of the attacks, it was not easy for Lu Yin to injure any of them.

Arrow God fired one arrow after another at the falling soil columns, but Sovereign Dou Sheng landed a brutal attack on the red-haired woman’s back, nearly tearing her in half. She was forced to use her innate gift and shed a shell to survive.

The soil columns stabbed through the Forgotten Ruins, aimed straight for Forgotten Ruins God. She was not targeted by a single column, but several.

Her expression changed, as she could sense that she was in grave danger. The Forgotten Ruins up above her seemed to come to life, and they formed layers in front of her as they moved to block the columns of dirt.

Layer after layer was pierced, and the dirt columns were worn away. Only one column managed to pierce through the Forgotten Ruins and stab into Forgotten Ruins God's body, dragging her down to the ground. Ȓ𝐀

Lord Xu clicked his tongue in amazement. This power was too terrifying. The boy had only just become a Progenitor, but who could stand against him?

Near the black Mother Tree, Ancient God grabbed a column of soil with a hand as more columns rained down from above.

To the Skygod, while the columns were quite powerful, his own strength could not be underestimated.

"If I faced this before my breakthrough, it wouldn't have been easy to deal with it," Ancient God remarked as he glanced over at Lu Yuan, who was his opponent. "Loam, your descendant will surpass all of us, even Master."

Lu Yuan answered proudly, "That's right, Musclehead! You can still turn back…"

Ancient God shook his head. "This is exactly why he cannot live. Already, we’re powerless against him, but there will always be someone who can deal with him."

Lu Yuan frowned. "Who?"

Ancient God refused to answer. He squeezed the column of soil in his hand apart and swept the rest of the falling columns aside before leaping at Loam. "Our battle still isn’t over!"

Far away, divine energy erupted from Di Qiong's body, creating an armor-like defense around him. He punched at the sky, trying to shatter the soil columns that were stabbing at him with terrifying power.

One column, two, three—he shattered three columns in an instant, but more kept raining down.

Lu Yin had focused specifically on Di Qiong.

The man quickly dodged, but a soil column still pierced his body. The pages of his Martial Scriptures swirled around him, and the columns froze in midair.

Lu Yin's Dust World was unable to break Di Qiong's Martial Scriptures even after transforming and becoming a Progenitor’s world.

All the columns of dirt were identical, so while the first one had managed to injure Di Qiong, the others could not. All of them were stopped by his Martial Scriptures.

Di Qiong grabbed the column of soil that had pierced his body and casually ripped it out. Blood sprayed out, and he turned to glare at Lu Yin in the distance. How could he be killed so easily? Even if someone wanted to kill him, they would have to do so in person. Who do you think I am? I am Di Qiong, the Dark Wu Tian! One of Aeternus’s Three Pillars and Six Skies!

Across from the man, Wu Tian spoke up. "Throughout history, few have dared to attack all of Aeternus at the same time. That’s not easy to do, even for us. There’s no doubt that the boy will surpass every powerhouse we know of. He’s going to rise higher than what we can see."

Far away, Lu Yin was still staring at Bai Xian'er. More dirt columns rained down upon the Second Scourge, shocking the Aeternals. More blood was spilled, and the human powerhouses were all encouraged.

The strength that Lu Yin was demonstrating was utterly terrifying.

Progenitor. This was Lu Yin’s strength as a Progenitor. He had finally taken that step, and his power had completely transformed.

No, that was not quite right. He had four inner worlds, but only one had transformed into a Progenitor’s world. Lu Yin still had far more potential waiting to be unlocked.

Lu Yin clenched a fist. He would break through with all four inner worlds and unify all of his cultivation paths into a single whole in order to become the strongest Progenitor ever. "As a Progenitor, no one in the same realm can stand against me!"

They were simple words, but they rang throughout the cosmos, and drew everyone's attention.

Lu Yuan laughed loudly, and he was quickly followed by every human powerhouse. They laughed freely and proudly. This was Lu Yin, the Dao Monarch of the Heavens Sect. After becoming a Progenitor, no other peak powerhouse could stand against him. He was completely domineering.

His words spread beyond the Scourges and even past the Origin Universe and the Sixverse Association. They reached every parallel universe in the megaverse.

Transforming Dust World into a Progenitor’s world had granted Lu Yin the ability to speak to all universes.

His words stirred up humanity’s excitement, and it caused emotions to boil over.

Becoming a Progenitor was not the end of cultivation, and yet Lu Yin had already declared himself to be without any peers.

The Heavens Sect would soon see an era of unparalleled brilliance.

In the Immemorial Citadel, both the humans and the Aeternals fell silent for a moment.

"What a domineering statement… Who is so arrogant?"

"I don't know, but I hope they’re human. To send their voice all the way here to the Immemorial Citadel, neither of us could do that. Whoever it is has the qualifications to make such a declaration."

"They must be human."

"There’s no need to guess. The one who spoke is the current Dao Monarch of the Heavens Sect in the Origin Universe, Lu Yin." Chu Yi stepped onto the city wall with a smile as he stared off into the distance. "The final battle is not far off."

In the Second Scourge, Bai Xian'er looked up at Lu Yin with a gleam in her eyes. "Brother Xiaoxuan, you really are domineering. Today, I’ll admit defeat, but we’ll meet again."

Lu Yin's eyes flickered. You want to escape?

He took a step forward with Inverse Step, which caused everything around him to freeze. He waved a hand, and more soil appeared, manifesting into reality and forming multiple columns that instantly shot at Bai Xian'er.

A rain of red flowers fell from the sky as Fay Blossoms bloomed. It was a beautiful and enchanting sight.

The pillars of soil tore through the Fay Blossoms, approaching Bai Xian'er’s location, only to reveal the fact that she had already disappeared.

The Fay Blossoms were her farewell.

Lu Yin casually redirected his columns of soil towards Tian Feng.

The sapient stone had tried to kill Lu Yin earlier in the battle, and it was also close to the black Mother Tree. If Lu Yin did not take action at this moment, when would he be able to?

As for Bai Xian'er, Lu Yin was not at all surprised that she had escaped. She was not just Bai Xian'er, but also Professor Wei, the woman who had once given Lu Tianyi a paper cutout during the Heavens Sect era. No one knew the true significance of her existence.

All that Lu Yin knew for sure was that he could not kill the woman for the time being.

There was no doubt that the woman was on the same level as True God, the Great Sovereign, and the Origin Progenitor.

While Lu Yin had successfully broken through and become a Progenitor and was fully confident that he could defeat any other peak powerhouse, he was not overconfident.

Lu Yin’s current strength was not yet enough for him to overpower and kill a Dukkhan. On top of that, while his Progenitor’s breakthrough had caused a huge commotion, one thing was missing: a phenomenon.

After Lu Yin’s breakthroughs to the Explorer, Enlighter, Envoy, and Semi-Progenitor realms, there had always been a phenomenon. There was no reason why his Progenitor’s breakthrough would lack one. Could it be that all four of his inner worlds needed to transform into Progenitor’s worlds for a phenomenon to trigger? Would that be the true indication of Lu Yin fully entering the Progenitor realm?

Lu Yin’s limitations did not mean that he would not try to deal with an Ortuser, especially Tian Feng. That was because Lu Yin was not the primary attacker. That position was reserved for Garan Zhiluo.

Columns of dirt stabbed at Tian Feng, who was constantly trembling. Despite being attacked from within by Garan Zhiluo, the stone still managed to dodge the soil columns.

"Hey, you're called Lu Yin, right?" Garan Zhiluo’s voice emerged from within Tian Feng.

Lu Yin looked at the stone. "Yes."

"Switch with Big Thug."

Lu Yin felt puzzled. "Sequence particles are useless against an Ortuser."

"Of course, I know that, but Big Thug can see his opponents' weaknesses. Let him handle this thing. I can't coordinate with you," Garan Zhiluo growled.

The patterns covering Tian Feng flickered with light, and suddenly, Lu Yin was unable to move his limbs. This was exactly the same as what had happened to the others earlier, and Lu Yin could not determine if his body had been sealed, or the space around him.

"Garan Zhiluo, you're definitely going to die a horrible death! Isn't it better to live within me?" Tian Feng spoke.

Garan Zhiluo sneered. "Why do you think I've hidden myself inside of you all this time? I've been waiting for a chance to learn about you so that I could eventually eliminate you four worthless things. Kid, hurry up. If you aren’t able to kill an Ortuser, then you can't help me. You might as well deal with some other enemies."

While Lu Yin's strength had increased greatly, he still was not capable of outright killing an Ortuser. Rather than Lu Yin, Garan Zhiluo preferred to work with Wu Tian. After all, they were all too familiar with each other.

Once he was able to move again, Lu Yin took off and headed towards Wu Tian. If it was not impossible to kill an Ortuser, then he would switch targets. Not all of the Three Pillars and Six Skies were Ortusers.

Far away, the battle between Wu Tian and Di Qiong had clearly tipped in Wu Tian's favor. Di Qiong had suffered too many serious injuries, and he was coughing up blood with every exchange.

As Lu Yin arrived, he called out, "Senior, let's switch!"

Wu Tian took a step back and smiled at Lu Yin. "Then I'll leave him to you."

Lu Yin nodded. "Don't worry. He won't survive."
