Star Odyssey Chapter 2067: A Civilization

Chapter 2067: A Civilization

Even people like Chu Yuan and Heluo Mavis who were from the Heavens Sect era felt the pressure of the scene playing out before them. Just how many cultivators did this civilization have? They truly seemed endless, and yet the Rune Progenitor had led his entire Rune Civilization onto the battlefield. The power of a Progenitor filled the entire space.

Just what kind of hatred could cause an entire civilization to race towards death as their calling?

While Chu Yuan and the others from his era had no idea what had instigated such hatred, Lu Yin knew. The Sixth Mainland had replaced the Fifth Mainland’s sky, preventing the Fifth Mainland from birthing any additional Progenitors in the future. This had triggered the endless hatred that had eventually led to the scheming and demise of the Sixth Mainland.

Jiu Yao clenched his fists. He had never personally witnessed the war during the Daosource Sect era, but he had heard of this particular battle too many times before. This battle had led to the Sixth Mainland greatly weakening, and they had been unable to do anything to the Fifth Mainland afterwards. If this battle had never happened, the Sixth Mainland absolutely would not have stopped at merely replacing the Fifth Mainland’s sky, as they would enslave the entire Mainland.

The hatred between the Sixth and Fifth Mainlands ran too deep, and neither side would ever abandon it. The Sixth Mainland had always wanted to enslave the Fifth Mainland, but this battle had forced the matter to be delayed until the Upper Three Gates had been broken through. After that incident, if not for the Rune Progenitor, how could the Fifth Mainland have continued surviving? How could they have ever resisted the Sixth Mainland?

Later generations had not been able to understand just why the Rune Progenitor had fought against the entire Sixth Mainland with his civilization. He had sacrificed his entire Rune Civilization, which seemed like a pointless loss to many people. Only the Sixth Mainland understood that this battle had eliminated their final blade that they could have wielded against the Fifth Mainland.

Countless corpses dropped into the waterfall, and even space started to pile up with the endless bodies. Silence reigned within the main hall, but at this moment, a disturbing and odd-looking doll flew over the main hall, making its way towards the Sixth Mainland.

Lu Yin saw it and was startled. “Shaman God?”

Everyone else also turned to look at the doll, and they watched as Shaman God’s odd doll broke through the void and neared the battlefield. It then turned to face the Rune Progenitor’s back.

Suddenly, the stellular energy within everyone’s body started to be pulled out and devoured by the statue once more. A tremor shook the main hall, and it disappeared. It was traveling through time and space again.

Lu Yin finally looked away. The Seven Skygods. It was always Seven Skygods. They were absolutely everywhere. Was it possible that the mystery concerning the Rune Progenitor’s life or death in the Sixth Mainland had something to do with Shaman God? That made sense, as who in the Sixth Mainland possibly possessed the strength to stand up to the Rune Progenitor?

In the past, the Fifth Mainland had been able to absolutely crush the Sixth Mainland. Even if the Sixth Mainland possessed many powerful Progenitors, there was no way that they could compare to a master of one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas.

“I feel like we’re being taken through time and space to see all the major events throughout history,” Lan Xian commented.

Lu Yin frowned, and he started wondering how that was possible.

If they were indeed traveling back through time and space, then based on the order of events, how could they have just witnessed the Rune Progenitor leading his civilization to fight against the Sixth Mainland? According to Lu Yin’s understanding, that had happened long after Progenitor Chen had executed Progenitor Nan and the Progenitors had fought against the Sixth Mainland, right?

The order of history could not be wrong, which meant that the only possibility was that they were not simply traveling back through time in a straightforward fashion.

Lu Yin turned to Chu Yuan. “How much do you know about that sword?”

“I already told you that I don’t know anything about it,” Chu Yuan replied.

“Didn’t the Origin Progenitor mention it?” Lu Yin pressed. Compared to Heluo Mavis, Chu Yuan was far more cunning.

Heluo Mavis sneered. “How is that possible? He just doesn’t want to tell us.”

Lu Yin then looked over at Forgotten Ruins God. “Do you know about it?”

Jiu Yao and the others were caught off guard by Lu Yin asking the Skygod.

Even more strange was that Forgotten Ruins God actually answered Lu Yin. In the same manner as before, if Lu Yin had the courage to speak up, Forgotten Ruins God was willing to answer his questions. “You’re wondering about the order of history that we’re seeing as we travel through time.”

Lu Yin nodded.

Forgotten Ruins God leaned against a wall in a lazy manner. “I don’t know about this either. It’s said that the Origin Progenitor had six swords that possessed the power of time and space. However, after reading into that a bit, I do know that each of the six swords have different functions, though the specifics were never shared.”

Lu Yin looked away. It felt as though the main hall was a simple raft that was being carried along by the currents of the river of time. They were being randomly taken forwards or backwards through time.

Lu Yin was most eager to return to his own time, but without understanding how the sword worked, that seemed quite unlikely.

“Hehe, since you want to go back, just give me that sword, and I can try to take you back to the the time that we left. Otherwise, I don’t mind losing a Semi-Progenitor avatar,” Forgotten Ruins God said with a smile.

“You might be willing to give up a Semi-Progenitor avatar, but you definitely aren’t willing to give up on that sword,” Lan Xian commented. This was the first time that she had addressed Forgotten Ruins God.

Forgotten Ruins God looked over at the other woman. “You are certainly quite beautiful. I wonder if anyone else would like to see that face ruined.”

At this moment, the stellular energy started to surge out from the statue once again, filling everyone’s bodies. They were left speechless to find that they had already arrived at their next destination.

Heluo Mavis had already experienced one breakthrough, but she was still forced to suppress the flood of stellular energy pouring into her body.

Chu Yuan was in the same situation, despite the fact that he possessed a far greater reserve of stellular energy than Heluo Mavis. Also, he was better at restricting the flow of stellular energy that forced its way into his body.

Lu Yin was the only one who had started to calmly absorb the stellular energy that surged out. He even utilized the Cosmic Art, and 80,000 stars began to revolve around him as he started to frantically absorb absurd amounts of stellular energy at a rate that was incomparable to before. The stellular energy filling the main hall even started to swirl around his body like a whirlpool as he sucked it all in.

Everyone turned to stare at Lu Yin. Had he gone crazy? Absorbing stellular energy in such a manner would quickly force him to break through.

Despite the fact that Heluo Mavis had successfully passed her stellular tribulation, no one else had any thoughts of attempting such a thing, especially the Semi-Progenitors. It was impossible for them to casually attempt to enter the Progenitor realm, and this was not the best situation in which to attempt such a thing.

“What are you trying to do?” Chu Yuan could not resist asking, and he shouted a question at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin just glanced over. “None of your business.”

Chu Yuan’s expression grew ugly. He had no desire to stop Lu Yin from absorbing more stellular energy, and Lu Yin’s breakthrough attempt had nothing to do with Chu Yuan. However, he was the person who was closest to Lu Yin, and Lu Yin’s cultivation was dragging ever increasing amounts of stellular energy over. Even if Chu Yuan tried to restrict the stellular energy that was forcing its way into his body, there was far more stellular energy entering his body than before, and his stellular energy vortex was quickly becoming full.

“Chu Yuan, let’s both push for a breakthrough! You’ve held back from one for so long, it’s time to let go!” Heluo Mavis laughed, but her words sounded strange.

Chu Yuan’s expression changed, and he suddenly looked over and leaped towards Heluo Mavis, which caused her to become on guard. “What are you doing?”

Chu Yuan raced towards her, and she responded with a contemptuous snort and a sudden punch. She struck Chu Yuan, but the punch was erased by the invisible power that surrounded him.

“Lend me your place.” Chu Yuan stood next to Heluo Mavis, as she was further away from Lu Yin.

Heluo Mavis got upset. “Get lost!”

“Make me, if you can.” Chu Yuan seemed unconcerned.

Heluo Mavis was uncomfortable with how close Chu Yuan was, but she was unable to drive him away. She needed to focus entirely on holding back the flood of stellular energy and could only maintain a careful eye on Chu Yuan.ReAd lat𝙚st chapters at n0v(𝒆)lbin.co/m Only

At this moment, Heluo Mavis was the most worried about having another breakthrough. If Chu Yuan disturbed her during a breakthrough, it would cause problems, and if she failed a tribulation, she would suffer serious consequences.

She simply could not compare to Chu Yuan’s reserves of stellular energy, or his ability to hold back the flood of energy. While Heluo Mavis had already gone through one breakthrough, it was absolutely possible for her to face another one soon, and it would be too easy for her to be distracted during a stellular tribulation if she had to be careful of Chu Yuan.

The more she thought about it, the worse of a headache that Heluo Mavis developed. She could not help but look over at Lu Yin. This guy was actually taking the initiative to attempt a breakthrough, which was absolutely insane. If she had known what Lu Yin would do, she never would have told them about it.

As for Lu Yin himself, his eyes lit up when he saw that Chu Yuan had moved closer to Heluo Mavis. The stars of the Cosmic Art spread out even further, and his absorption rate sped up even more.

The stars eventually approached Heluo Mavis and Chu Yuan, and they both angrily shouted in unison, “Brother Lu, you’re going too far!”

Lu Yin opened his eyes to look at them. “I’ve lost control of it.”

Only an idiot would believe such a thing, and the two of them realized that this person was a bit of an ass.

These two people were both Dao Chosen of the Heavens Sect, and everyone who interacted with them had always been thoroughly impressed and respectful. They had always been given anything that they wanted, and everyone who spoke to them had flattered them out of fear of being disliked by the talented youths. In contrast, Lu Yin was the complete opposite.

Each time there was a surge of stellular energy, it was even larger and more violent than before, and Heluo Mavis was completely unable to resist any longer. She suddenly leaped up and hurried to the first level of the main hall, in hopes that there would not be as much stellular energy there as on the lower level.

Chu Yuan also hurried up to the first level.

The first floor was where the Semi-Progenitors had fought, but fortunately, they did not dare to fight each other while traversing through time and space, which meant the younger people were safe there.

After both Heluo Mavis and Chu Yuan left the lower level, Lu Yin was completely alone. He let out a breath and then let the effective range of his Cosmic Art spread out even further until it encompassed the entire level. He could no longer be considered to be absorbing stellular energy; this was devouring it.

He continued to suck in more and more stellular energy, and his vortices filled up one after another. Soon, all four had reached their maximum capacity.

Lu Yin was thrilled to see this, as it meant that he had reached his breakthrough point, and he would soon face his stellular tribulation.

Everyone stared down at him in shock. He truly was different from most people. If anyone else had absorbed that much stellular energy, they would have already faced their sixth tribulation.

As time passed, the vortex in Lu Yin’s lower meridian point started to grow. He suddenly realized something. If that vortex filled first, it might trigger a stellular tribulation, but then another tribulation would be triggered as soon as the vortex in his middle meridian point reached the threshold, and so on and so forth. Would this mean that Lu Yin’s multiple vortices would be exposed by multiple breakthroughs at the same cultivation realm?

This was unacceptable. That fact could not be exposed.

After considering this prospect, Lu Yin quickly used his death energy to seal off the vortex in his lower meridian point to stop any more stellular energy from entering it. Instead, he directed all of that energy to his middle meridian point. Once that vortex reached the threshold, Lu Yin repeated the process with his death energy, and then again for his upper meridian point so that his fourth, unhidden stellular energy vortex could also reach the threshold needed for a breakthrough.

However, it was at this moment that another tremor ran through the main hall. Lu Yin quickly stopped using the Cosmic Art, as he would not be able to absorb any more stellular energy at this point in time. Even if he managed to pull in a bit more energy, if the stellular tribulation was stopped because all the stellular energy was sucked back into the statue, it would be considered a failed tribulation. Thus, Lu Yin could only wait for the next opportunity.

On the first level of the main hall, Jiu Yao felt frustrated that Lu Yin had managed to stop himself in time. There would absolutely be terrible consequences to a failed tribulation, even if Lu Yin did manage to survive. What a pity.

The area outside the main hall grew bright again, and everyone looked out to see what point in time and space they had arrived.

They did not see a battlefield this time, or outer space. Instead, they were above a vast sea, and in the distance, they could hazily make out a tall mountain.

“A Mountain and Sea?” Leng Qing exclaimed.

Both Chu Yuan and Heluo Mavis stared at the distant mountain, shock filling their eyes.

Lu Yin was taken aback. “Is this one of the Mountains and Seas?”

A mountain and sea that could startle even Leng Qing could only be one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas.

Lu Yin had seen the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas in the past, but since none of them looked much different from ordinary mountains and seas, he did not instantly recognize this place.

“There’s someone there,” Lan Xian called out.

Everyone looked down, and they saw a landmass floating above the calm sea. It was covered with flowers in full bloom, and it was quite picturesque. There were two people on the landmass, one sitting and the other standing.

When Lu Yin saw the two people, his mouth fell open in amazement. Zhao- Zhao Ran?
