Star Odyssey Chapter 1320: A Battle of Despair

Chapter 1320: A Battle of Despair

As If Closed was clearly a legacy from an earlier time than even Progenitor Hui.

Progenitor Hui was doing much more than just arranging a sourcebox array.

When the summoned Progenitor Hui appeared before w.a.n.g Yi, Lu Yin saw that the Progenitor was also moving with the a.s.sistance of another sourcebox array. This sourcebox array felt familiar to Lu Yin, and it gave Progenitor Hui the impression of being a constant wanderer.

Lu Yin stood atop Zenith Mountain, and his expression suddenly changed. This was not good! , This was the same s.p.a.ce transfer array that Shaman G.o.d had used before.

As long as a person had the correct coordinates, they would be able to travel a vast distance through s.p.a.ce. Progenitor Hui had just been wandering about the mountaintop, but he had also been setting the coordinates.

Some distance away, w.a.n.g Yi had no intention of fighting against the merged Progenitor Chen, and instead focused on attacking Shang Qing. However, as soon as w.a.n.g Yi drew close, the summoned Progenitor Hui blocked him.

w.a.n.g Yi was horrified; how could this be possible? Could Progenitor Hui actually be faster than even w.a.n.g Yi?

w.a.n.g Yi reflexively attacked with a Four Arts: Bear Stalwart.

Progenitor Hui disappeared, and then instantly reappeared behind w.a.n.g Yi, but w.a.n.g Yi did not notice anything. He picked up his feet to flee, but the star energy within his body turned chaotic, which left him unstable and unable to use any of his battle techniques. At this same time, Progenitor Chen shot straight through Progenitor Hui and attacked w.a.n.g Yi's back.

A dark light penetrated and invaded w.a.n.g Yi’s body. It was accompanied by a freezing energy that came from the Yōu Reinforced Palm.

w.a.n.g Yi could not stop himself from spitting out a mouthful of blood. This blood was actually black, and it formed a frozen ball that fell through the air.

w.a.n.g Yi fled, but Progenitor Hui stuck to w.a.n.g Yi like a shadow and constantly disturbed w.a.n.g Yi’s star energy.

w.a.n.g Yi was frustrated and felt completely powerless. He was facing someone who obviously was the same age and had received the same sort of opportunities, and so w.a.n.g Yi had expected to feel so helpless under this particular universe.

Wu Taibai was watching from the distance, and he shook his head. “It’s all useless. Even if that person was facing Progenitor Hui, they might not win. It’s likely that the odds of their defeat are as high as 90%, even with a Progenitor Hui who has no intelligence."

Shang Qing coldly watched everything. Was this the end? This was rather disappointing!

w.a.n.g Yi retreated to the edge of the mountain. There was blood at the corner of his mouth, he reluctantly said, "I give up."

Although this was expected, Shang Qing still could not stop himself from feeling disappointed. He had known from the beginning that this would be the result. No one could defeat him. In this era, there was no one who could match up to him.

Everyone watching the livestream was able to hear the helplessness in w.a.n.g Yi's words, but what else could he have done? Not to mention the fact that both Progenitor Chen and Progenitor Hui were on that battlefield, Shang Qing himself was even able to simply ignore attacks due to his unknown innate gift.

At this moment, Lu Yin was still sealed.

Everyone switched their focus to Lu Yin, who Progenitor Hui had trapped. At this moment, Lu Yin was the last person still competing.

The twisted void around Lu Yin gradually calmed down. Progenitor Hui had released the array.

Shang Qing stared at Lu Yin. "You’ve done well, and you even met my expectations. No, you’ve truly exceeded expectations. From now on, you are the second Honor Chosen of the Hall of Honor, and you are second only to me."

Outside Zenith Mountain, Mu En nodded. Shang Qing was worthy of being raised up by the Hall of Honor, and he had extensive knowledge. At this moment, elevating Lu Yin to the position of second Honor Chosen would help the Hall of Honor and Shang Qing to win over people's hearts. After all, Lu Yin was the master of the entire Outerverse.

In an invisible region of s.p.a.ce, the Chief Justice was hidden within the dark, but he was silently staring at the top of Zenith Mountain and Lu Yin. There was a strange look in the Chief Justice’s eyes.

Everyone watching the broadcast began to look away. ZENITH was over.

In the Outerverse, although the people of the Great Eastern Alliance had been supporting Lu Yin, no one believed that Lu Yin had the power to challenge Shang Qing. That young man was too much of a freak.

Madam Nalan was drinking a red wine and helplessly shook her head, You’ve reached your limit, but unfortunately, you encountered a truly incomprehensible person.

Near the barrier in the Starfall Sea that formed a barrier, the Progenitor of Bloodlines and the Progenitor of Secret Arts looked away. ZENITH was over. Their Sixth Mainland had had Bu Kong and Wu Taibai enter the top ten, which were acceptable results.

The Progenitor of Combat continued to stare at Zenith Mountain. He was staring at Shang Qing, as this youth was guaranteed to eventually become the most powerful expert in the Fifth Mainland.

When he thought back to the invincible strength of Progenitor Chen, fear and a killing intent grew even stronger in the Progenitor of Combat’s eyes.

Everyone thought that ZENITH was over, except for one person: Lu Yin. He believed he could continue. At least, he wanted to say that he had done his very best.

"Second Honor Chosen? Number two doesn’t sound too good to me, so I want to try; can I become the first Honor Chosen?" Lu Yin stared back at Shang Qing, and the fighting spirit in Lu Yin’s eyes never diminished in the slightest.

Lu Yin's words echoed through the universe via the live broadcast, and everyone blankly stared at him.

"This guy’s an idiot! He couldn’t win by teaming up, but he still wants to try on his own?”

"He was just trapped and couldn't even move, but now he wants to fight?"

"I’m betting he just wants to show off."

…

All across Zenith Mountain, Lan Si, Yuhua Mavis, Wu Taibai, Ling Gong, and more. Everyone who heard Lu Yin's words was stunned; did he still want to fight?

w.a.n.g Yi stared blankly at Lu Yin, frowning. Shang Qing had made even w.a.n.g Yi feel powerless, yet this person still wanted to fight?

Outside Zenith Mountain, Mu En frowned. Lu Yin was a bit ignorant, but it was impossible for him to defeat Shang Qing. If Lu Yin persisted, he would only humiliate himself, unfortunately.

In the invisible region of s.p.a.ce, the Chief Justice’s cold and stern eyes suddenly revealed a smile. Anyone who knew him would find this to be unbelievable, as the Chief Justice had never laughed.

In the Neoverse, Arch-Elder Zen laughed; Let's fight! Fight if you want! Not matter which of you wins or loses, you both represent my Hall of Honor and the Fifth Mainland!

On Eversky Island, Highsage Grandmaster praised Lu Yin, "Good child. Even if you are beaten to death, you can't simply admit defeat. Not bad."

In the Cosmic Sect, Sect Master Yuan Qiong stared at a screen. He was very impressed with Lu Yin, and he wanted this child to become part of his Cosmic Sect. Yuan Qiong had watched how Lu Yin had made his way through ZENITH. He had defeated Yuhua Mavis, and then both Liu Tianmu and Xia Jiuyou. Each and every one had been a true powerhouse within their generation, and yet Lu Yin had been the one to continue past all others. Yuan Qion had come to appreciate Lu Yin more and more throughout this compet.i.tion, but unfortunately, Lu Yin was not from the Cosmic Sect.

However, where did the child learn their Teleportation Formation?

"You want to fight me?" Shang Qing's eyes were deep and he shook his head. "It's useless."

Lu Yin let out a long breath. "I want to try."

As he spoke, an astral chessboard appeared beneath his feet, and it spread out across the entire mountaintop. Lu Yin waved a hand and moved.

He moved Progenitor Chen, Progenitor Hui, and even Shang Qing. Lu Yin raised his hand once more: Vacuum Palm.

Lu Yin had s.h.i.+fted Shang Qing over in front of where the Vacuum Palm would appear, but Progenitor Hui appeared in front of Shang Qing with a raised hand of his own.

Lu Yin's pupils shrank. Progenitor Hui had reached the Creation realm of star energy control, while Lu Yin had merely reached the Worldliness realm. Progenitor Hui transformed the Vacuum Palm into star energy, in much the same way that Liquor Hero had absorbed G.o.d Qingguang’s weapons into a barrel of wine. For those who had reached the Creation realm, Worldliness was nothing much.

The Creation realm of star control could almost be considered similar to a secret technique or a sourcebox array, as one could transform something rotten into something miraculous, and could encompa.s.s all things, both large and small.

Lu Yin's body disappeared in a flash, and the light of Progenitor Chen's blade fell where Lu Yin had just stood. w.a.n.g Yi’s defeat had unsealed Progenitor Chen’s abilities that had been sealed. This blade sliced through the void, and the tear traveled all of the way to the first layer.

Many of the eliminated contestants were stunned, and G.o.d Taiyi did not hesitate to use Truesight to weaken the power of the attack as it approached the first layer and cut the area of the mountain in two.

All of the other contestants went speechless as they saw Progenitor Chen’s strength.

Lu Yin suddenly appeared behind Shang Qing, but simultaneously, Progenitor Hui also appeared. He had continued to wander about the mountaintop and had calculated countless coordinates, which allowed him to instantly appear anywhere.

Lu Yin raised a hand, and Vacuum Palm rained out continuously as Lu Yin casually waved his hand about.

Progenitor Hui raised his hand to absorb the power of Lu Yin’s Vacuum Palm, only to discover that the Vacuum Palm had already disappeared. Lu Yin had secretly diverted his Vacuum Palm with the Yu Secret Art, and it struck Shang Qing head on.

Shang Qing was caught off guard by this attack. It had been too sudden, and Shang Qing had never expected Lu Yin to be able to even touch him, so the Vacuum Palm slammed into a completely unprepared Shang Qing, and it left him bleeding.

Progenitor Chen moved between Shang Qing and Progenitor Hui, and slashed out with a blade. Lu Yin quickly evaded the attack, the void twisted all around him, and the sourcebox array As If Closed trapped Lu Yin in place.

The blade light swept through the air, straight for Lu Yin's abdomen. It struck, and blood flowed from the large wound, dripping onto the mountain after staining Lu Yin’s clothes.

Shang Qing coughed and looked at Lu Yin.

Progenitor Chen lifted his blade once more, and then brought it down in a chop.

Lu Yin could not break the sourcebox array, so he could only go up against the attack. He diverted all of his fatesand, and it appeared in front of him and blocked the blade, only to be instantly shattered and sent back into Lu Yin's body.

The blade light continued to fall, and Lu Yin gritted his teeth: Channeling Diagram.

There was a bang as the Channeling Diagram diverted the sharp edge of the blade into countless channels that spread out in all directions. Suddenly, a dark light appeared right before Lu Yin's eyes, and it almost enveloped him. It was accompanied by an icy cold that felt just like what Lu Yin had felt from that knight who had ridden a warhorse through s.p.a.ce and terrified Lu Yin.

Countless people grew tense as they watched, and Lu Yin’s shoulder was torn open by Progenitor Chen’s blade. The wound traveled down to his chest, and blood splashed for several meters from the diagonal cut.

Puff

Lu Yin spat out a mouthful of blood that turned to ice as it fell. Lu Yin had been severely wounded by the blade, and had simultaneously been struck by the dark light. He was not able to endure, and he crumpled to the ground.

In an Azure Mansion, Ming Yan's face went pale, and her hair instantly turned white. She stared at Shang Qing with murder in her eyes.

On Zenith Mountain, Zhuo Daynight, Wendy Yushan, and others closed their eyes in unison. Lu Yin had lost.

Yuhua Mavis, Wu Taibai. and a few others shook their heads. No one was capable of defeating a Progenitor within the same realm, and even if someone dreamed of one day becoming a Progenitor themselves, there was no path to victory when facing both Progenitor Chen and Progenitor Hui.

Shang Qing was only one person, but he wielded the power of two Progenitors, and this was a truly unfathomable power.

Mira was feeling complicated emotions. She had been the one to lead Lu Yin out into the universe, and she had watched him as he climbed, step by step, to reach his current strength. However, he had just been defeated by Shang Qing.

w.a.n.g Yi frowned as he looked at Lu Yin where he lay on the ground. It was impossible to know if Lu Yin was dead or alive, but it seemed that he was not from that family, as if he were, it was impossible for Lu Yin not to use that innate gift. With those innate gifts, Lu Yin might be able to win.

w.a.n.g Yi shook his head. He had thought that Lu Yin had confidence to be able to challenge Shang Qing, but it turned out to be nothing more than empty bravado.

Zhi Yi, Bu Kong, and others stared at Lu Yin. Their eyes showed how jealous they were of Shang Qing and how thrilled they were at Lu Yin’s defeat. If he died, that would be fine, as his death would mean one less threatening opponent from the Fifth Mainland.

Even if they were the Daosource Three Skies, they still had to admit that Lu Yin had surpa.s.sed them in terms of absolute strength.

Countless people stared at Lu Yin, each of them filled with all kinds of complicated emotions.
