Star Odyssey Chapter 1142: Declaration Of War

Chapter 1142: Declaration Of War

Highsage Shenwei could not see his surroundings, but he could still hear. Thus, he angrily scolded, “Shaman G.o.d, show yourself if you dare!”

“Gaga, is that someone from Eversky Island? How’s your senior doing? Back then, he cared for my disciple,” Shaman G.o.d spoke in a sinister voice.

Another elder suddenly barked out, “Shaman G.o.d, back then, you slaughtered the Yu—what more do you want now?”

“Gaga, the Yu family was seeking death, and I cannot be blamed for what happened. As for today, I only want to bring back a few outstanding juniors to inherit my Neohuman Alliance,” Shaman G.o.d said.

Yuan Ke took a step forward, and Shaman G.o.d snickered. “I suggest that none of you move, as moving could result in your demise, gaga.”

…

Within the Mountain and Seas Zone, the moment the black-clothed corpse king revealed itself, all of the battles on the golden screens instantly stopped.

Shang Qing raised a hand, and a qi flow whistled through the air as it hurtled towards the corpse king.

When the Neohuman Alliance appeared, all other grievances had to be put aside, as exterminating the Neohuman Alliance always took precedence.

Suddenly, a streak of light flashed by. Someone had appeared behind Shang Qing some time ago, and they had short silver hair. Both of the person’s eyes gleamed when they smiled, though his lips curled up into a strange arc. He spun a b.u.t.terfly knife in his hands as he casually said, “You’re too careless. This won’t do, First Honored Chosen.”

Shang Qing’s eyes flashed, and he slowly turned around. “What? When?”

There was a plopping sound as fresh blood suddenly spurted out from both of Shang Qing’s legs while he slowly collapsed to the ground.

The man with short silver hair twirled around with a gentle smile. “I traded blows with you once before. Did you forget?’

Shang Qing’s legs were bleeding, and he stared at the silver-haired man in concentration. He eventually remembered; this person had ambushed him on the seafloor, but he had been injured and chased off by the Tri-Yang Technique.

The silver-haired man smiled softly and bowed at his waist while still staring at Shang Qing. “The Tri-Yang Technique is indeed powerful, but my death energy isn’t bad either.”

Shang Qing’s expression grew sharp. “At that time, you hid your death energy within my body?”

The curve of the silver-haired man’s smile grew even wider. “It’s no wonder why you’re the First Honored Chosen! In solo combat, n.o.body is a match for the Tri-Yang Technique, but in terms of hidden attacks, my Specter Clan isn’t bad.”

Shang Qing clenched his fists and tried to stand, but his legs had been maimed. There was also death energy lingering within the wounds, which would take him some time to remove.

The b.u.t.terfly knife spun about the man’s fingers before he suddenly attacked Shang Qing once again. The flow of qi swirling around Shang Qing’s body slammed towards the a.s.sailant, but the attacker was exceptionally fast, and he actually managed to dodge the qi flow. The b.u.t.terfly knife streaked through the void and sliced at Shang Qing’s neck.

Even if Shang Qing was unable to move, the Tri-Yang Technique was still a mysterious technique. Despite launching multiple attacks, the silver-haired man’s efforts were all for naught.

At this moment, Xia Jiuyou and the others had finished crossing the golden screen, and they moved to attack the silver-haired man in unison.

The man looked over at Xia Jiuyou. “The Nine Clones Secret Technique? I’m a close acquaintance of one of your clones.”

A dim radiance appeared over Xia Jiuyou’s palm and formed a blade that he then slashed out with: the Xia family’s Triple Blade Will.

From behind, Ling Gong’s white spear thrust forward, and it was accompanied by the sound of a ringing bell.

Even further away, Yuhua Mavis, Unseen Light, Qiu s.h.i.+ all suddenly appeared. However, Wen Sansi was nowhere to be seen.

Qiu s.h.i.+ was quite upset. Right before the corpse king had flown out of the giant eyes, she had become sick of Wen Sansi’s defensive barrier, and so, she had used her Teleportation Formation sourcebox array to toss Wen Sansi far away from the golden screen. No one knew how far he had flown away.

If only she had been one step slower.

Upon seeing a combined attack from several top experts coming at him, Silver snapped his fingers. From down below, the black-clothed corpse king instantly abandoned Lu Yin’s small group inside the s.p.a.ce within the eyes as it raced towards the golden screen. The creature bellowed as it unleashed a fierce punch.

Yuhua Mavis moved in front of the crowd and met the attack with a punch of her own.

Bang!

The collision shook the void, and the resulting terrifying and powerful shockwaves forced Unseen Light and the others to dodge them.

Silver leaped backwards, grinning ear to ear.

The corpse king was overpowered by Yuhua Mavis’s punch, and it backed up a dozen steps.

Yuhua Mavis also retreated, but she only moved three steps back.

Silver was surprised. “You live up to your position as a Treeheart Descendant of the Mavis family, seeing as how you can actually overpower an Enlighter realm corpse king that’s transformed twice. Let’s keep going.”

Yuhua Mavis’s knuckles were flushed red, and she stared at the corpse king standing across from her in utter shock. She had just used an unprecedented amount of power, and the power of her punch had surpa.s.sed what she had used against both Lu Yin and Unseen Light. Despite that, she had only been able to push the corpse king back slightly. This showed the power of the corpse king’s two transformations.

This thought caused her to clench her fists as she lashed out with another punch.

Xia Jiuyou’s second will blade sliced towards Silver.

Silver continued to sport a horrifying smile on his face that would looked more fitting on a fox. The b.u.t.terfly knife spun through his hands, and it flashed about in a strange manner, though it actually managed to slice through Xia Jiuyou’s second will blade. “So you’ve learned the Nine Clones Secret Technique? How many have you merged?”

The blade in Xia Jiuyou’s hands slashed down again: the third will blade.

Xia Jiuyou’s third will blade was something that had even made Lei Nü feel apprehensive, and she had suppressed it with the secret technique Discipline by making Xia Jiuyou unwilling to use the technique. This attack had even attracted Shang Qing’s notice, and it had also sliced through Ling Gong’s innate gift in one attack. The power of this blade was incredible.

At this moment, that blade sliced at Silver.

Silver’s expression did not change, though he retreated step by step. The black-clothed corpse king moved in front of Silver, and it raised both hands, trying to catch the third will blade between its palms. It gave out a low growl as its body was continually pushed backwards by the will blade, which eventually drew out two long marks on the golden screen.

From the other side, Yuhua Mavis raced towards Silver and unleashed a punch.

Ling Gong, Unseen Light, and Qiu s.h.i.+ had not attacked yet, as they believed that victory had already been attained.

Silver evaded Yuhua Mavis’s punch, though verdant green gra.s.s had wound its way beneath his feet some time earlier, and it bound him tight, just like what had happened to Lu Yin before.

However, Yuhua Mavis did not show Silver the same gentleness that she had with Lu Yin. The gra.s.s binding Silver flickered with a green light, and Silver’s expression showed a slight change. His eyes opened a little wider, and he let out a sharp breath as a stream of black air appeared all over his body; it was death energy.

The appearance of the death energy instantly destroyed the green gra.s.s, and Yuhua Mavis’s eyes grew cold. She raised a fist to lash out with another punch, and the force behind this attack was so tremendous that the void could not even endure the power before the punch was unleashed.

When the fist moved forward, a bang echoed through the sky and caused many people to jump in fright.

Silver stood in place, and the black-clothed corpse king roared at the sky from where it was standing near Silver. Its green eyes suddenly turned red—no, a brilliant scarlet. This red color was the color of blood that stained all wars. The creature’s strength caused ripples to spread out in the air; not only did they crush Xia Jiuyou’s third will blade, but the might of the creature also made Yuhua Mavis feel nervous. She was so disturbed that she forcibly changed the target of her punch to the black-clothed corpse king.

The black-clothed corpse king’s eyes opened wide, and it raised a hand to grab Yuhua Mavis’s punch. Another bang split the air, and a shockwave blasted past their feet. Yuhua Mavis’s fist had been grabbed tightly by the black-clothed corpse king, and she could not budge in the slightest. Her expression changed. “A corpse king’s third transformation?”

The black-clothed corpse king let out a deep growl, and it pulled its right hand towards itself with great force, dragging Yuhua Mavis closer to it as it clenched its left fist and punched at Yuhua Mavis’s stomach.

Yuhua Mavis stepped forward with her right foot, and a green light appeared all over her body. There was a grave expression on her face that no one had ever seen before, and similar to the black-clothed corpse king, ripples around her body, an indication that the void was trembling due to her sheer strength. She actually resisted the pulling motion of the black-clothed corpse king as she raised a foot to kick at the creature.

The black-clothed corpse king’s left fist collided with Yuhua Mavis’s right foot in a loud boom. A horizontal tear appeared in the void; the impact of the corpse king’s fist forced Yuhua Mavis back a thousand meters, and she nearly fell off of the golden screen.

Everyone was aware of Yuhua Mavis’s strength, and even though Shang Qing’s Tri-Yang Technique was referred to as an unrivaled technique, he still did not dare to compete with Yuhua Mavis in terms of raw power.

However, at this moment, Yuhua Mavis had been clearly overpowered by this black-clothed corpse king’s raw physical strength.

This was the strength of a corpse king that had undergone the third transformation, and its strength was now a thousandfold that of its normal capabilities.

An Enlighter realm corpse king already had impressive physical strength to begin with, and its normal strength surpa.s.sed that of many of the people currently present. Only Lu Yin, Yuhua Mavis, and a few other people with overpowering physical strength could compete with an Enlighter realm corpse king. But at this moment, that impressive strength had been increased by a thousandfold, and not even Yuhua Mavis could forcefully compete with the creature anymore.

The corner of Silver’s mouth twitched into a semblance of a smile. “Beast, take them out.”

The black-clothed corpse king raised both hands and clenched both of its fists. It then punched at Xia Jiuyou.

Xia Jiuyou’s expression immediately changed, and he raced to evade the attack, but the wind from the swift fist was too much, and it shattered the void in front of the youth, affecting his movements. Xia Jiuyou’s left shoulder was struck and subsequently shattered while his body was thrown far away.

At the same time, the black-clothed corpse king also punched at Yuhua Mavis.

The green leaves covering Yuhua Mavis’s body formed a fist that retaliated. Another ma.s.sive explosion shook the air, and her body was thrown back a hundred meters by the fist’s wind. She had lost in a compet.i.tion of strength.

A grand bell rang out once more, and Ling Gong tried to use her Skycastle to suppress the corpse king.

The corpse king raised both of its arms as it grabbed at the air to attack the Skycastle. The innate gift was torn apart, and Ling Gong hurriedly dodged aside, as she did not dare face the corpse king’s attacks head on.

Unseen Light raised both of his hands and pressed down.

A black s.p.a.ce appeared in the void surrounding the corpse king. It looked like a coffin that was tightly sealing the creature. Secret technique: Black Coffin.

The next moment, black spikes appeared all over the black coffin. This was the technique that had injured even Yuhua Mavis.

But then, a thump rang out, and the black coffin crumbled as the corpse king dashed out of the ruins to punch at Unseen Light.

Multiple light beams appeared in front of Unseen Light’s body, connecting the earth to the sky. It was Starsibyl’s Calculations of the Abacus. This was the technique that had helped Ling Gong evade Xia Jiuyou’s third will blade earlier.

However, it proved to be completely ineffective against the corpse king, as the creature simply charged straight through.

Although Starsibyl’s Calculations of the Abacus had been useless in diverting the beast, it had still delayed it for a brief moment, which was enough for Unseen Light to dodge its attack.

At this moment, Qiu s.h.i.+’s Celestial Sword sliced down from above.

The corpse king looked up, but it did not even move. It actually allowed the Celestial Sword to slice down, and the sword squarely struck the creature’s skull.

Everyone held their breaths and watched on, but then, the corpse king raised its right hand, grabbed the Celestial Sword, squeezed its hand, and casually shattered the sword before slapping a hand at Qiu s.h.i.+.

Qiu s.h.i.+’s eyes flashed as her body vanished only to reappear where Silver had been standing. It was the Cosmic Sect’s secret technique: Star Transference.

The corpse king’s palm stopped the instant it was about to touch Silver, and it slowly turned around to fix its red eyes on Qiu s.h.i.+. The corpse king growled again.

Silver clapped and smiled as he looked all around at everyone. “I believe that everyone here has now experienced Beast’s strength. At this moment, my Neohuman Alliance is officially declaring war on any power in the universe that doesn’t defer to my Neohuman Alliance, and all of them will be killed without question. However, any who join my Neohuman Alliance will receive matchless strength.”

There had been a flurry of attacks, and the most gifted youths in the entire Human Domain had fought an intense battle atop the golden screen. And yet, all of their efforts had been utterly ineffective against the corpse king, and every last one of them had been overpowered.

n.o.body dared to receive an attack from the corpse king, as being struck would spell their end.

Atop the golden screen, Shang Qing was still trying to remove the death energy from the wounds on both of his legs.

Close by, Liu Tianmu opened her eyes, as she had finally regained consciousness. However, she still was not able to move. When she looked over at the invincible corpse king, her fingers trembled. She wanted to get up, but she truly could not move.

Outside of the Mountain and Seas Zone, a bunch of the older powerhouses were being controlled by Shaman G.o.d, and they were also unable to move.

Within the Mountain and Seas Zone, beneath the golden screens, those who had partic.i.p.ated in the Astral Tower contest speechlessly stared up at the golden screens, as they had all been watching. The Neohuman Alliance only had two individuals, but those two had suppressed all the others, and the onlookers were all at a loss for words.

Silver creepily looked around before looking down. “The Human Domain’s experts are not just these few up here, and even those losers might be able to turn the tide. So-”

His eyes swept across the entire Mountain and Seas Zone as he said, “There will be no accidents.”

As he uttered those words, the seafloor suddenly changed as the stone plaques flew up to the surface of the seas before exploding.
