Star Odyssey Chapter 1139

Chapter 1141: Shaman God

At this point, in the distance, a tiny piece of something white appeared. Lu Yin was about to grab it when Xie Xiaoxian moved over first and grabbed the white substance in her hands. She gave Lu Yin a charming smile, but when she looked down, her expression turned grave. The white substance had formed two words, “Save me.”

Lu Yin saw the message as well, and sure enough, the words had come from this place.

He made a shushing gesture towards Xie Xiaoxian, and the two carefully moved inside.

They soon entered a place where the scenery had been molded from the star energy to look like outer space. Neither of the two dared to make any sudden movements here, as they were afraid of causing this place to suddenly change.

Before long, the two moved around a bend, and there, they saw a puff of white smoke along with a head sticking out from within the smoke. It was Gu Xiao’er.

At this moment, there was an indignant look on Gu Xiao’er’s face, and he was secretly using his smoke to form messages that he was throwing out of the strange space. At times, he would carefully turn to look behind himself, and his eyes would suddenly roll.

Overall, he had been quite unlucky. Before the Astral Tower contest started, he had been waiting around inside Azure Mansion, enjoying himself for quite a period of time. He had not even wanted to enter the Mountain and Seas Zone when the Astral Tower contest first began, but he had eventually been forced to move by his father.

After he entered, Gu Xiao’er felt like he could not allow all the hardships that he had suffered through go to waste, and he had planned to show off his skills. He had wanted to find an expert to spar with, and coincidentally, he encountered a current in the seas. There were usually treasures in that kind of place, and he had thought that people would definitely appear to fight over them. Thus, Gu Xiao’er had considered this to be the perfect time for him to act.

He had just arrived on the seafloor when someone tapped him on the shoulder and asked him for the way. What the? This is the Mountain and Seas Zone! The way? What way? The way to find the inheritance? Gu Xiao’er wanted to know that himself!

He had already been in a bad mood, and he had yelled at the person as a result. However, the person who had tapped Gu Xiao’er’s shoulder had an excellent temper and had smiled like a fox while saying that he wanted to treat Gu Xiao’er to a good meal.

Gu Xiao’er had felt that he was being tricked. A meal? In the Mountain and Seas Zone? Where could food even be found? The more Gu Xiao’er looked at the fellow, the more fox-like he looked, and Gu Xiao’er had actually been readying himself to show off his skill and attack the fox-like person. But then, Gu Xiao’er had somehow woken up in this strange space, and if not for his white smoke protecting him, he might have already died.

Although the white smoke was protecting him, Gu Xiao’er was unable to move from where he had woken up, and that rather disgusting-looking fellow was still watching him.

All Gu Xiao’er could do was use his white smoke to form words and throw them out, hoping that someone would see his calls for help.

While doing so, Gu Xiao’er himself was completely miserable. Just when he had been preparing to step into the limelight, he had been thrown into such a miserable place. He couldn’t even see anything here. He had wanted to participate in the Astral Tower contest, and he certainly wanted to marry Flower Queen Ming Yu, but in the end, he had been left with nothing at all. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he felt.

He had been hoping that someone who knew him would see his call for help, and so, Gu Xiao’er had miserably continued to send out more messages.

Lu Yin and Xie Xiaoxian were some distance away when they saw Gu Xiao’er, and the two exchanged glances.

Smoke Eater Peaks was not a colossal power of the Neoverse, but it was still above average. Their white smoke was very mysterious, and not even the Seven Courts really understood it.

With his white smoke, even if Gu Xiao’er could not match up against people like Shang Qing, he was still at least capable of fighting against one of the Ten Arbiters or an heir from the Seven Courts. However, he had still been trapped in such a place.

Lu Yin made a shushing gesture yet again, and he led Xie Xiaoxian closer to Gu Xiao’er.

Gu Xiao’er continued to secretly write his messages, and a bit more of the white smoke enveloping his body wafted away. Then, he suddenly looked up and exchanged glances with Lu Yin. Gu Xiao’er’s eyes quickly flushed red. “Brother, I’m here!”

Lu Yin silently cursed, and a black shadow appeared in front of him in a streak. Scarlet eyes flickered, and the figure raised two fists to release a violent attack. Lu Yin’s expression instantly changed. “The Neohuman Alliance?”

He raised his arms to block the attack, and there was a thump as his body was blasted a hundred meters back.

At the same time, Xie Xiaoxian dealt with another attack, but fortunately, she had already been prepared. White bones spread across her body and formed an armor that endured the punch, though she was also blown back a hundred meters.

Lu Yin stared at the figure in front of them that was clad entirely in black in shock. This person really was from the Neohuman Alliance, but how had they entered?

Xie Xiaoxian looked upset. “You half-human half-ghost creatures actually came, too? Aren’t you scared of death?”

Across from them, the corpse king dressed in black looked up at them with its scarlet eyes, and it clenched its right fist as its eyes swept past Xie Xiaoxian to look at Lu Yin. Its body gave off a fluctuating aura that spread out with a whistling sound, but it did not extend too far—the terrifying strength was limited to just within the space formed by the giant eyes.

This corpse king was an Enlighter.

Xie Xiaoxian’s expression instantly changed. “This is troublesome.”

As she spoke, the black-clothed corpse king’s eyes suddenly changed, and they changed color from scarlet to grey before instantly changing to green. It was the corpse king’s Second Transformation.

Lu Yin’s expression changed drastically. This corpse king’s rune lines had already surpassed those of Lu Yin and Xie Xiaoxian in the beginning, and its physical strength had not been much worse than Lu Yin’s. But now, its strength had just increased nearly a hundred times over in just an instant, which scared Lu Yin. “Be careful.”

He was trying to warn Xie Xiaoxian, but she had already turned around to flee. The Neoverse’s knowledge of the Neohuman Alliance greatly surpassed what the Innerverse or the Outerverse had, especially the Xie family’s knowledge. They were mortal enemies with the Specter Clan, and the Specter Clan had joined the Neohuman Alliance later on. Ever since then, the Xie family and the Neohuman Alliance had had an intense enmity.

Xie Xiaoxian had only needed to take a look to know that she was not this corpse king’s match.

It was clear that she could not deal with this corpse king, and Lu Yin did not even enter her thoughts.

Lu Yin had never expected for Xie Xiaoxian to directly run away. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the appearance of a black shadow. The corpse king punched at Lu Yin again with a simple and crude attack, but it was still absolutely horrifying. The power of this fist caused Lu Yin to panic, and he instinctively used the Ce secret art to escape. The void collapsed where he had just been standing, and even the giant eyes were distorted.

This commotion drew Shang Qing’s attention. He did not care about who obtained this inheritance, as it was useless to him. However, he had suddenly sensed a hint of an aura in those massive eyes that left even him feeling nervous.

Within the space of the giant eyes, Lu Yin barely managed to dodge the punch. Next to him, the corpse king whirled around and threw out another one. Wind swept out before the fist as an unstoppable force crashed down. Lu Yin quickly waved a hand and activated the Yu secret art to divert the attack.

He managed to dodge yet another punch.

However, simple attacks like these punches were not as limited as secret techniques. As long as one had the required strength, they would be able to unleash countless punches.

Lu Yin had used two secret techniques to dodge two punches, but he could not evade the third.

There was a thump as the corpse king’s fist struck Lu Yin’s body head on. The nine lined battle force shrouding Lu Yin’s body instantly shattered, and his Fatesand was similarly driven back into his body at the first hint of contact. He was blasted away while his arms almost broke from the impact and his organs were jarred by the impact; Lu Yin could not stop himself from coughing up a mouthful of blood.

This corpse king’s physical strength was beyond terrifying, and the power of its fist even surpassed Yuhua Mavis’s seventh fist multiple times over. It was comparable to the fist that Yuhua Mavis had used against Unseen Light, and its power level definitely exceeded 300,000.

The black-clothed corpse king dashed toward Lu Yin, and it raised its fist to lash out once again. Lu Yin gritted his teeth, and used the Ce secret art again, causing the Astral Chessboard to appear beneath his feet before he moved.

This time, he instantly appeared next to Xie Xiaoxian.

Only a span of a few breaths had passed since the corpse king’s first attack, and Xie Xiaoxian had not managed to escape from the space within the giant eyes yet. When Lu Yin appeared right next to her, she shouted, “Get away from me!”

Lu Yin had no time to reply, as the corpse king’s physical strength had erupted yet again. Its speed alone was enough to distort the void, and it unleashed a double-fisted strike this time.

This was the corpse king’s preferred method of attack, as the corpse king’s transformation strengthened the physical body, giving it an overpowering strength. These corpse kings often fought in a similar manner as Yuhua Mavis, but they were far more barbaric.

Lu Yin revolved star energy around his body, and his pupils transformed into runes as he erased some of the corpse king’s fist’s runes, allowing him to narrowly dodge another attack. But Xie Xiaoxian was not so fortunate, and she was struck by the fist. The white bone armor surrounding her body instantly shattered, and she opened her mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood as she was thrown against the mountain.

This was one of the mountains that a Progenitor had created, and it was extremely sturdy. Even so, a crack appeared where she landed.

Xie Xiaoxian fell to the ground in a pitiful condition.

Lu Yin swatted out: Vacuum Palm.

The palm struck the corpse king, but it only managed to force it back a few dozen meters. The corpse king raised its green eyes to stare straight at Lu Yin as it shot towards him.

Lu Yin continued to release multiple Vacuum Palms in an attempt to break through the corpse king’s defenses.

However, a Green Eyes Transformation would increase a corpse king’s physical strength by a hundredfold—just what sort of concept was that? The corpse king was far stronger than Lu Yin, and even his Vacuum Palm was not a very powerful attack in the eyes of this corpse king.

Lu Yin had never thought that someone within the same generation as him would actually be able to forcefully resist his Vacuum Palm. Mu Ziying’s innate gift of wood armor had allowed him to endure a few Vacuum Palms, but only a few. But in the case of this corpse king, Lu Yin’s Vacuum Palms could not even penetrate its defenses.

The corpse king tanked several Vacuum Palms before punching at Lu Yin again. Its attacks were simple and crude.

Lu Yin waved a hand, and the Yu Secret Art diverted the wind from the fist as Lu Yin raised a hand to tap out with a finger: Seventh Bro Finger.

The Seventh Bro Finger was Lu Yin’s most powerful attack at this time, though he did not expect it to damage this corpse king at all. All he wanted to do was force the corpse king out of this space within the eyes so that Shang Qing and the others would see it.

Opposite Lu Yin, Xie Xiaoxian was lying on the ground as blood leaked out from her mouth. She raised a hand and similarly tapped out with a finger. Her attack was completely identical to Lu Yin’s Seventh Bro Finger.

The Xie Secret Art: Universal Appropriation. This was the Xie family’s secret technique.

Lu Yin did not know that the Xie family had such a secret technique, so when he saw her unleash an identical Seventh Bro Finger, he was dumbfounded. However, this was not the time to think about such a thing.

The two Seventh Bro Fingers joined together as they struck the corpse king, and they forced the black-clothed corpse king out of the space within the giant eyes and out onto the mountainside. A crack had appeared at the point where the corpse king was struck.

Shang Qing instantly saw it as well as the corpse king’s green eyes. He could feel the creature’s completely detestable aura as well as the terrifying fluctuation that indicated that it was an Enlighter.

Shang Qing was not the only one to see it. The corpse king had been forced out from the giant eyes’ space, and its Enlighter-realm power had naturally been revealed as well. It instantly caught the attention of everyone atop the golden screens, as well as those who were outside the Mountain and Seas Zone; all of the members of the older generation instantly noticed it.

Mu En and the others were alarmed. “The Neohuman Alliance?”

They intended to take immediate action, as the Neohuman Alliance was an acknowledged enemy of the entire universe. There was only one thing to do when that power was discovered: extermination. There was no need to even think about a fair fight.

However, just as they were about to move, they suddenly hesitated as their vision went black. They could not even sense their own bodies anymore.

Mu En was only able to sense the existence of his own nose, but he was still somehow able to see all around him.

Highsage Shenwei was only able to sense the existence of his hands, but his hands could smell all sorts of strange scents.

Yuan Ke, Xia Meng, and the other older powerhouses similarly had their senses all mixed up.

Xia Meng spoke in a low voice, “One of the Neohuman Alliance’s Seven Skygods, Shaman God.”

As she spoke, a strange white doll appeared next to the crowd. It had a bizarre appearance, with two green lines extending out from the corners of its lips and sunken eyes. It looked exceptionally treacherous and terrifying, and it laughed with a strange snicker. “The Xia family’s Xia Meng, gaga!1 Back then you were the number one beauty in the Neoverse, and your beauty even surpassed Azure Mansion’s Flower Queen Ming Yu’s to captivate all others. Now, you’re an expert with a power level of more than 900,000, and you qualify to know of me. You’re even good enough to compete with me, gaga.”

[1] This person’s supposed to have a strange laugh, but it also changes, so just roll with it whenever you come across weird sounds when they speak. ☜
