Star Odyssey Chapter 642

Chapter 642: White Knight

Blood Looney grabbed the tip of the spear and stopped it when it was less than one centimeter from his body. “You have the strength of a Realmling, but you don’t possess a bloodline. You’re probably the Realmling of the Martial Progenitor Realm or the Secret Progenitor Realm.”

Numerous corpse dragons rushed at this white armored person, but the armored person simply spun their spear around and cut Blood Looney’s palm straight to the bone. The spear then shattered the corpse dragons before it thrust at Blood Looney once again. Blood Looney laughed crazily as his hand rapidly recovered and eight lined battle force appeared around him. 

Crack!

The collision between the two powerhouses released an overwhelming shockwave that reverberated about the cauldron, letting everyone thoroughly feel the terrifying power of the impact.  

Lu Yin was stunned. This wasn’t a battle that he could interfere in, These two people were on the same level as the Ten Arbiters. 

“We are so lucky that a Realmling appeared!” the fatty exclaimed.

Mr. Bai wondered aloud, “Which realm is this Realmling from? There are only nine realms, and thus, we should be able to recognize this person. However, their appearance is completely unfamiliar.”

Miss Qing’s eyes flashed with an odd light. “What if they’re not a Realmling?”

Mr. Bai glanced over at her. “If that turns out to be true, then we will still have to try our best.”

“What are you talking about?” The fatty was confused.

Lu Yin calmly replied, “If that person isn’t a Realmling, then they must be one of the Ten Arbiters from the Fifth Mainland.” 

It wasn’t only Mr. Bai who was confused, as everyone else was feeling the same sense of loss. There were only nine Realmlings, but nobody was able to recognize this person. Thus, there was a very high chance that they were one of the Ten Arbiters. 

The other people were merely guessing, but Lu Yin was already completely certain of the newcomer’s identity. 

Bang bang bang bang!

Everyone trapped in the cauldron heard violent explosions ring out above them as the blood lotuses surged with power. Multiple corpse dragons appeared, and Blood Looney commanded the dragons to all attack the armored knight. The armored individual used their spear to keep the corpse dragons at bay, but that only caused Blood Looney to laugh maniacally. The image of the heaven Imprinter appeared behind him once again as he lifted a hand and attacked the armored attacker. 

The knight was smashed down to the ground, and their armor started to disintegrate.

“Who are you? Show me your imprint!” Blood Looney shouted, his red eyes full with excitement.

The armored person lifted their head up, and although their face was covered by a helmet, everyone suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of dignity emanate from this figure. A bell chimed loudly as the blood lotuses evaporated. The silhouette of a castle appeared both on the ground and in the sky.  

At that moment, everyone felt a huge pressure coming from the sky.

Blood Looney’s eyes narrowed. “You’re not from the Sixth Mainland. You’re a remnant of the Fifth Mainland!”

Everyone turned to look at the knight.

The armored knight gripped their spear tightly, jumped up into the sky, and forced Blood Looney into the blood lotus that was directly above the cauldron. “I’m White Knight, a member of the Fifth Mainland’s Ten Arbiters. Nice to meet you.”

Everyone present was stunned; one of the Ten Arbiters from the Fifth Mainland?

Lu Yin sighed, as he had indeed guessed correctly. This person was one of the Ten Arbiters: White Knight Ling Gong, a genius of the Lingling Clan.

Recently, the Ten Arbiters had constantly been appearing in the ruins of the Daosource Sect, and it had become a battlefield for the young elites from the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands. Lu Yin had actually expected to bump into White Knight here. If his guesses were correct, then the White Knight had probably initially been planning to kill everyone in the cauldron, but they had been interrupted by Blood Looney. 

Was this a fortunate or unfortunate event? Blood Looney and White Knight would now absolutely have to fight each other. 

White Knight was also the person who had taken Wendy Yushan to join the Myriad Swords Peak.

Lu Yin looked at the opening of the cauldron in confusion. 

At this moment, he truly felt the strength of one of the Ten Arbiters, as even Blood Looney was helpless in front of this person. 

The other people inside the cauldron had complicated feelings as well. They were from the Sixth Mainland, which meant that they were naturally enemies with everyone from the Fifth Mainland. However, at this moment, they didn’t want White Knight to lose, as that would raise Blood Looney’s power and seal their fate of becoming Blood Looney’s fertilizer. 

Blood Looney grew very excited. “One of the Ten Arbiters from the Fifth Mainland? It’s been a thousand years, and I never thought that the Fifth Mainland would produce a powerhouse like you. That’s good! Once I absorb you, I’ll definitely be able to kill the Daosource Three Skies!”

He wrapped the blood around himself before rushing towards White Knight. The castle and the blood lotuses didn’t collide with each other; instead, they slowly encroached upon each other’s territory as both combatants tried to exhaust the strength of their opponent. 

The collision between White Knight and Blood Looney caused most people to become dazed, and a few of them even fainted at that instance. The collision between an innate gift and a bloodline had led to a huge surge of spiritual force that normal people weren’t able to withstand.

Huang San immediately collapsed, unconscious.

Mr. Bai and Miss Qing both sat down at that same moment in an attempt to endure the spiritual force.

People kept collapsing as the battle continued. 

Neither Blood Looney nor White Knight cared about the life and death of the people who were in the cauldron below them. Their only goal was to kill everyone present.

Lu Yin was dazed by the surge of spiritual force, but he was still able to withstand it since he had recited the Stonewall Scriptures for years. His resilience had reached the point where even the spiritual force from the battle in the sky above couldn’t faze him. He was the only person who remained standing. 

Clang clang clang! 

Blood Looney and White Knight exchanged numerous blows as their battle accelerated. Soon, their figures flitted across the sky, sporadically disappearing and reappearing. 

Lu Yin couldn’t even clearly see their battle. 

Both the blood lotus and castle kept up, extending to where the two combatants were battling and causing all of the cultivators in that area to be reduced to puddles of blood. Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed; they couldn’t touch those blood lotuses. 

He grabbed the fatty and tried to take him out of the cauldron. However, Lu Yin was already at his limit and couldn’t really move. As the castle and blood lotuses neared his group, more and more cultivators were killed.

“Just leave without us,” Mr. Bai said.

Lu Yin’s eyes flashed, and he started reciting the Stonewall Scriptures out of desperation.

The Stonewall Scriptures had always helped him whenever he had faced any challenges.

Once he started reciting the Stonewall Scriptures, he felt the pressure on him gradually start to decrease. He immediately grabbed the fatty, Mr. Bai, and Miss Qing and then started rushing towards the rim of the cauldron. However, the cauldron started trembling after he had only taken a few steps, and a silhouette of the cauldron suddenly appeared in his mind. 

Is this a battle technique? Lu Yin was elated; he didn’t expect that the Stonewall Scriptures would activate the cauldron now and allow him to learn a new battle technique. However, a shockwave suddenly swept throughout the cauldron and struck him in the back, sending him flying ten meters away, along with Mr. Bai and the others. He spat out a mouthful of blood and glanced behind. He saw that White Knight and Blood Looney were now both holding onto the spear as they contested each other through star energy. 

Some more shockwaves crashed against the sides of the cauldron, and some of them collided against the stunned cultivators. There were even some that crashed into the blood lotuses atop the cauldron. 

The castle and the blood lotuses stopped expanding and instead started corroding each other.

Another shockwave swept past the four youths, but it was blocked by Lu Yin with his Fatesand. Mr. Bai and Miss Qing thanked him, but Lu Yin anxiously responded, “We don’t have time for this! Be careful and stay away from the shockwaves.” 

“Those two are crazy!,” Miss Qing muttered. 

Mr. Bai laughed bitterly. “It would seem that our plans to explore the Daosource Sect will have to be delayed. This place has become a battlefield for the young elites of the Fifth and Sixth Mainland, and it is no longer a stage that we can stand on.” 

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. He wouldn’t have cared about such a thing a short while ago, but just now, he had realized that he could learn this cauldron’s battle technique. Although he hadn’t succeeded in this short amount of time, he already knew the method for learning the battle technique. He just had to recite the Stonewall Scriptures, and thus, he couldn’t give up on this place. 

Rumor had it that the nine cauldrons each contained one of nine battle techniques and that the combination of these nine battle techniques would become something invincible. The thing that he was currently lacking at this moment was exactly a powerful battle technique. Since the Stonewall Scriptures could activate this cauldron, then could it do the same for the other eight cauldrons as well? Did that mean that he could learn all nine battle techniques and, consequently, the invincible battle technique? 

This was a huge temptation for any cultivator, and many cultivators had died just for a chance at this destiny. Lu Yin was also a cultivator, and he didn’t want to give up on this battle technique, even if this place had turned into a deadly battlefield. 

An invincible battle technique was right in front of him, and Lu Yin felt that opportunities always coexisted with danger. He gritted his teeth as he knew that he wouldn’t be able to learn the battle technique at this exact moment since the shockwaves from the battle would constantly disrupt him. He would have to return to this place again later and sneak back into this place. 

Above him, White Knight and Blood Looney were each holding onto the spear while their star energies continuously collided. Peals of thunder rang out as spatial cracks appeared within the cauldron. 

“So the Fifth Mainland was actually able to produce a powerhouse like you! What a shame that there is a war and that you won’t have room to grow!” Blood Looney shouted excitedly. The imprint of the celestial elder behind him was as clear as day now, and it looked as if an actual person was standing behind him. 

White Knight replied in a low voice, saying, “All of you are slaves to a fixed cultivation system. You have no future.” 

Blood Looney laughed. “So what? We are still enough to annihilate you.”

“Our sky has been changed by the Sixth Mainland, which has led to the advent of fake power. Even so, the people from the Sixth Mainland cannot defeat us. Xing Kai has already killed one of your Realmlings, and you can’t defeat me. This is the difference between us. Thus, I’m sure that the history of the ancient war is not true. You guys must have covered up the truth!” White Knight bellowed. 

Blood Looney sneered. “That’s none of my business. I just want to kill you and use your blood to defeat the Daosource Three Skies!” 

“I’ve already told you that you can’t defeat me!” White Knight yelled. Their star energy crashed against the other’s and caused the space in the region to distort. 

The shockwaves slowly dispersed as the remaining cultivators finally started slowly regaining their consciousnesses. They watched the battle above them develop in terror.

The two youths continued fighting for two days, and it was obvious that they were both exhausted by the battle, especially White Knight, whose spear had started to crack.

Blood Looney grinned as countless corpse dragons appeared and attacked the White Knight. “You’re dead!” 

Lu Yin’s heart skipped a beat; was the Arbiter about to lose? 

There was a bang as the White Knight was hit by countless corpse dragons. At the same time, the battle force surrounding Blood Looney suddenly turned red. This was nine lined battle force. He had been hiding his strength this entire time, only revealing it at a critical moment. His attack pierced through White Knight’s abdomen, and the blood reflected Blood Looney’s ferocious face. 

The people within the cauldron were all terrified; Blood Looney had won.

Lu Yin’s eye twitched. The Arbiter had lost!

The Ten Arbiters were synonymous with invincibility in his universe. He had never heard of an Arbiter being defeated, and normal people weren’t even qualified to know the Ten Arbiters’ names. The ten of them were worshipped like gods by their peers, and they wielded incredible authority that influenced the entire universe. However, someone like that had just been defeated.
