Star Odyssey

Chapter 2057: Equal Status

Before he faced his stellular tribulation, Lu Yin had opened his three meridian points and reached a level of strength that could deal with a normal three-tribulation Envoy. His physical abilities had always been terrifying, but after his tribulation, even though he had sealed his three meridian points, his body had been reforged by enough stellular energy to match the changes that a typical four-tribulation Envoy would have experienced. This had caused Lu Yin’s physical strength to soar to an even more horrifying level.

Even though Lu Yin’s battle force could not stand up to Heluo Mavis's punch, his physical defenses were simply overwhelming. Heluo Mavis was the first person from the Heavens Sect era to truly understand the level that Lu Yin’s physique had reached.

Her punch was actually unable to injure Lu Yin in the slightest bit. All she managed to do was help him recover a bit of his original appearance.

She could not believe the results she was seeing.

It was at this moment that Chu Yuan appeared above Lu Yin. Lu Yin had no idea what Chu Yuan was doing, but somehow, all the power from Heluo Mavis’s attack that had dissipated into the surrounding area gathered in Chu Yuan’s palm. It was controlled to swirl around like a vortex before being swung at Lu Yin.

This attack was clearly no weaker than Heluo Mavis’s punch that Lu Yin had just faced, but Lu Yin’s body had already been restored to normal from the punch. Thus, he was unable to absorb any more damage with Extremes Must Be Reveresed.

Chu Yuan had been waiting for just this moment. He firmly believed that Heluo Mavis was powerful enough to release an attack that approached the limits of what Lu Yin could endure, so if Chu Yuan could simply surpass that limit, it would be Chu Yuan’s victory. This was why he had waited for Heluo Mavis’s punch to land; Chu Yuan had wanted to find an opening to release his own attack that would end the fight.

Heluo Mavis had not expected Chu Yuan to take advantage of her in such a manner, but when she saw the attack falling, she made no attempt to stop it and instead eagerly watched Lu Yin.

However, all she saw was a calm expression on Lu Yin’s face as he confronted Chu Yuan’s palm strike with one of his own. Lu Yin’s hand slowly rose up to meet the approaching threat.

Heluo Mavis’s expression drastically changed. "Don't try to die! The Yuan Shi Dao he’s using is able to absorb all of my power! Don’t try to force things."

It was as though Lu Yin did not even hear Heluo Mavis at all. He continued to reach for Chu Yuan with one hand.

Chu Yuan was caught off guard, and a flicker of wariness appeared in the depths of his eyes. He could not stop himself from retracting a bit of his attack’s power.

Chu Yuan's palm smashed into Lu Yin's right hand. This was supposed to be an overwhelming attack, but the terrifying power that Chu Yuan had gathered in his palm was simply crushed in an instant. Lu Yin grabbed hold of Chu Yuan's hand and tossed the young man onto the ground with a bang. Chu Yuan’s body slammed into the ground and disappeared.

At the same time, Lu Yin disappeared, and he instantly reappeared above Heluo Mavis. Two hands pressed down, and a seemingly infinite number of Hollow Palms rained down on the woman.

As the flood of palm strikes fell towards her, Heluo Mavis wanted to avoid the attack. However, just as she took a single step, she returned to her original position. She had stepped into a Teleportation Formation that Lu Yin had set up while he had been attacking Chu Yuan. This moment had already been anticipated.

Heluo Mavis could not react to her situation in time, and dozens of Hollow Palms struck her, slamming her into the ground as well. The storm of Hollow Palms was large enough that they fell upon Chu Yuan as well.

Lu Yin shot through the void and smashed into the ground. For the first time in this battle, both Heluo Mavis and Chu Yuan were completely suppressed.

Off in the distance, the audience from the Sixth Mainland were stunned by the sudden turnaround. This battle had reversed too quickly. They had all thought that Lu Yin had been defeated, and not a single one of them had expected Lu Yin to instantly suppress both of his opponents at once.

The dozens of Hollow Palms that were released contained all the force that Lu Yin had absorbed through Extremes Must Be Reversed, as well as Lu Yin’s own power. It was reasonable to say that no one at the same cultivation realm could force Lu Yin to release such a powerful attack. Let alone two-tribulation Envoys, not even a five-tribulation Envoy could force Lu Yin to such an extreme.

Lu Yin stood tall high in the sky as he looked down at the smoke and dust that filled the air and covered the ground. His wrists actually felt a bit sore. Hollow Palm was already a powerful attack on its own, and he had pushed himself quite hard with his final attack. He had no idea what condition his two opponents were in at this moment.

The smoke and dust slowly cleared to reveal the ground, and as it appeared, it was clear that the landscape outside the Daosource Sect’s main hall had been transformed.

Two bottomless pits had appeared in the earth.

Lu Yin stared at the ground, and a small frown appeared on his face. He was able to feel both of his opponents’ auras, and they were surprisingly stable. Had his Hollow Palms really not been able to cause any damage to the two?

He let out a long breath. As expected of the Heavens Sect era’s Dao Chosen; such tricks were not enough to clinch victory. It was no wonder why the Dao Chosen were all so arrogant.

Throughout the entire universe, it was difficult to find anyone who had only passed one or two stellular tribulations and was able to challenge opponents who had passed three tribulations, not to mention four. Still, this was something that the Ten Arbiters would most likely be capable of doing when they became Envoys. However, it would be practically impossible for them to stand up to a five-tribulation Envoy.

Lu Yin had been able to defeat three-tribulation Envoys even when he had been an Enlighter. After becoming an Envoy, Lu Yin had been able to defeat even the most elite of four-tribulation Envoys like the Sea King. After all, the Sea King was a Realmbreaker himself.

Lu Yin was the only one capable of such a feat in the entire universe.

However, several more such people had recently appeared. They were the Dao Chosen from the Heavens Sect era.

The ground broke apart, and Heluo Mavis pushed up a section of the earth and casually tossed it to the side as she emerged. It fell with a tremendous boom as she stared up at Lu Yin. The woman looked a bit embarrassed.

Chu Yuan also emerged a short distance away. His appearance was much quieter, but he looked even more embarrassed than Heluo Mavis, and his previous arrogance could not be seen in his eyes. He had just been snatched out of the air and smashed to the ground by Lu Yin. Let alone in the current era, that was something that Chu Yuan had never experienced even during the Heavens Sect era.

Despite his calm expression, there was an unprecedented coldness and threat in the depths of the Dao Chosen’s eyes.

"Hahahaha, hahahahaha…!" Suddenly, Heluo Mavis started to laugh.

Lu Yin gave the woman an odd look. Was she that happy that she had been slapped around?

Heluo Mavis continued to laugh loudly, and she raised a hand to point at Chu Yuan while laughing. The laughing did not stop.

Chu Yuan calmly asked, "Is it that funny?"

Heluo Mavis laughed so hard that she lost her breath, and she held her stomach. "No, but I just never expected to see this day! Chu Yuan, did you ever think that you’d be in this situation? Hahahaha!"

Chu Yuan frowned, and then he turned to look at Lu Yin. "You surprised me."

Before Lu Yin could respond, Heluo Mavis started laughing yet again. "This is too funny, hahahaha! Just too funny! It’s hilarious! It’d be awesome if those guys were here."

Lu Yin landed on the ground and asked, "What's so funny?"

Heluo Mavis was still holding her stomach, but she managed to point at Chu Yuan. She could not make herself stop laughing. "Can you understand just how hilarious it is for one of the Dao Chosen to be thrown through the air and smashed into the ground? Do you realize that he’s the only one of us to be acknowledged by the Origin Progenitor and is dubbed the Chosen One? Despite that, he was snatched out of the air and smashed into the ground! Hahahaha, it’s just too funny."

Lu Yin was taken aback, and he turned to look at Chu Yuan. Chosen One?

Chu Yuan indifferently answered, "It's just a pointless title."

He continued to stare at Lu Yin. "You really surprised me. Even in our era, you would be qualified to compete with the Dao Chosen. Still, I have two attacks left, and that’s enough to defeat you."

Heluo Mavis saw Chu Yuan’s indifferent facade, and she looked at him with a mocking expression. "Faker. You’re the best actor out of all of us."

Despite her words, she turned back to look at Lu Yin. "I still have one move left, so what do you say? We’ll attack him together."

This woman had completely changed over the last few minutes. It was not her personality that had changed, but simply the fact that she had acknowledged Lu Yin. Seeing him as an equal meant that her manner of speaking to Lu Yin was completely different. She no longer acted as his superior, and instead, she was trying to pull Chu Yuan down from his arrogance.

She had originally been following Chu Yuan, wanting to see what he was going to do, and her purpose still had not changed. All that had changed was that there was an extra player on the field.

Lu Yin looked back at Chu Yuan. "This is a very tempting proposal."

Chu Yuan calmly replied, "It doesn't really matter, but I have two attacks and two opponents. It’s enough."

"Hahahaha!" Helo Mavis started laughing once again.

Chu Yuan arched a brow and shot a disgruntled look her way.

Lu Yin was speechless. The fight’s tension had evaporated due to this woman’s laughter.

Heluo Mavis pointed at Chu Yuan and smiled. "Are you still keeping up that act? Take a look at yourself before you talk! Your face is covered with dust, so why try to stay so arrogant? Aren’t you embarrassed? He hasn’t even used his Champions’ stage or death energy, and you want to deal with him with just one attack? Hahahaha!"

Chu Yuan frowned, and the surface of his body suddenly distorted. He was preparing his attack.

Lu Yin's body grew desiccated once again as he used Extremes Must Be Reversed. He had just thrown Chu Yuan to the ground and used a storm of Hollow Palms, but that could only be regarded as a single attack, which meant that Lu Yin still had one left. It looked like it would be very difficult to seize victory while only relying on battle techniques from the current era. The God of Death Transformation, the Ce Secret Art, the Yu Secret Art, and the Origin Progenitor’s Sutra were all things from ancient times.

Still, it was completely unrealistic for Chu Yuan to expect to defeat Lu Yin with just a single attack, especially since the man had no intention of working together with Heluo Mavis. Chu Yuan wanted to face two people at the same time.

Lu Yin had already stated that he was betting on himself and would limit himself to just five moves to crush these two.

Heluo Mavis’s smile finally disappeared, and an enormous tree appeared behind her. She was also preparing herself.

Chu Yuan still had two moves remaining, while both Lu Yin and Heluo Mavis were down to just one. If Chu Yuan wanted to deal with both of them at the same time, it meant that he needed to limit himself to one attack for each of them.

Just as the three were about to start again, a loud shout echoed out. "Stop!"

All three looked to the west, where a person stepped out of the void, bringing with him an incredible amount of pressure that forced everyone to instantly stop.

Chu Yuan and Heluo Mavis glanced at each other and frowned. This was the power of a Semi-Progenitor.

Lu Yin stared at the person who had appeared, and his heart sank. Jiu Yao? He actually came here?

Lu Yin had already expected the top powerhouses of the Sixth Mainland to eventually learn that there was still stellular energy in the Daosource Sect ruins, but he had not expected Jiu Yao to enter the ruins so quickly.

Given Jiu Yao's strength as a Semi-Progenitor, as soon as he spoke, there was no way for Lu Yin or either of the other two to make another move. All three of them together were not enough to match a single twitch of Jiu Yao's finger.

"What are you doing, fighting here? State your identities." Jiu Yao looked down at the three youths. His arrival allowed the spectators from the Sixth Mainland to finally relax.

Chu Yuan frowned when he saw Jiu Yao staring at him, but the young man slowly answered, "The First Mainland’s Dao Chosen."

Across from him, Heluo Mavis also answered, "The Second Mainland’s Dao Chosen."

Jiu Yao finally turned to look at Lu Yin, but the man failed to recognize Lu Yin due to the fact that Lu Yin had already used Extremes Must Be Reversed, making him look like a dried up corpse.

Lu Yin answered, "The Fifth Mainland’s Dao Chosen."

Chu Yuan and Heluo Mavis both glanced over in surprise. The Fifth Mainland’s Dao Chosen? There were no Dao Chosen in the current era, but they could not find it in them to deny Lu Yin’s claim. After all, Lu Yin was indeed the equivalent to a Dao Chosen for the current era.

To both Chu Yuan and Heluo Mavis, Lu Yin's self-appointment of Dao Chosen was a bit presumptuous, but as far as Jiu Yao was concerned, all three of the people in front of him were from the Heavens Sect era.

"So you’re experts from the ancient era." Jiu Yao glanced around at the three people. "I am Jiu Yao, a Semi-Progenitor from the Sixth Mainland. I welcome you to our time, and you are all welcome to visit my Sixth Mainland. However, you are in the ruins of the Fifth Mainland’s Daosource Sect, and you should not stay here for long."

"Where's Sky Garan?" Heluo Mavis asked Jiu Yao.

Jiu Yao replied, "He is in my Sixth Mainland’s Daosource Sect. If you wish to see him, I can send someone to collect you."
