Star Odyssey

The people of the Infinity Empire did not cultivate, which was why they valued rare materials so highly.

Lu Yin stepped past the light barrier and smiled at the head researcher. "Old man, it's time to fulfill your promise."

The white-haired old man sighed. "Sir, this is really…"

At that moment, the floor quacked violently, and the old man's expression grew serious. "Supreme is taking action."

Lu Yin arched a brow. "Supreme? The emperor's mecha?"

The old man looked at Lu Yin. "Do you want to see it in action?"

Lu Yin gestured for the man to continue, and a display soon appeared inside the Energy Research Institute that showed the battle being fought in the Imperial City.

Mu Ke, Big Sis, Xu Wuwei, and Xia Shenji were all fighting against the Pillars of Heaven’s giant mechas. While Lu Yin was in the Energy Research Institute, four of the five mechas had been fighting. Only three remained standing, as two had been dealt with. All five of the mechas had been activated during Lu Yin’s time in the institute, but two of them had still fallen.

Xia Shenji's Shenwu World covered the sky above the Imperial City, producing a terrifying pressure. Xu Wuwei's voidforce energy filled the entire capital like air.

The most striking figure was Mu Ke. When the display turned on, it showed the sight of the Arborean’s long saber chopping into the back the Regisword's sword, splitting the blade in two.

Mu Ke’s sequence particles allowed him to cut through anything. While his saber was not inherently sharp, his technique was difficult to counter.

In the end, Regisword was a mecha piloted by a human. When fighting against a sequence powerhouse with the same amount of raw power as the mecha, especially one with as much combat experience as Mu Ke, the mecha’s defeat was inevitable.

However, when fighting against opponents who had not yet reached the level of a sequence powerhouse, Regisword would conduct a one-sided slaughter.

The fall of Regisword was what instigated Supreme to take action.

A mecha moved out from the depths of the imperial palace. It was half as large as any of the other mechas, and it radiated a heavenly power. It punched at Mu Ke with a fist that instantly started glowing red. The punch pierced through the void and painted the previously white sky with red and black.

Mu Ke's eyes narrowed, and he sensed that this was a dangerous attack. His eyes turned to look at the Supreme, and the man’s saber slowly rose up. This was his attack that had once injured Corpse God. It took a terrifying amount of power to breach the defenses of the Seven Skygods. This was Mu Ke’s Verseless, and it could even slice through the laws of the universe.

The saber’s edge slashed down.

Supreme's punch hesitated, and the power of its assault was stopped, though it still exploded, which sent Mu Ke flying.

Inside the Energy Research Institute, Lu Yin's eyes flickered. That was a truly powerful punch. Supreme was a mecha that absolutely had enough raw strength to compare to the Seven Skygods. This was the result of gathering the greatest resources of the entire Infinity Empire.

Brother Mu Ke's Verseless had managed to stop the punch from advancing, but it had not been able to overcome the power of the attack.

The emperor, who was was inside of Supreme, which was standing on the ground, was absolutely astonished. His punch had actually been blocked. That attack should have shattered any opponent, as it would have even cracked the hull of a twelve-ring mecha. Supreme was fundamentally different from any other mecha in existence, and even if every last twelve-ring mecha in the Infinity Empire joined forces, they would not be able to match Supreme on its own.

This mecha was the true foundation of the emperor’s line to maintain their power over the Infinity Empire.

However, an outsider had blocked Supreme’s punch.

Blocking that punch showed that this human had the strength to stand up to Supreme. It was no wonder why Regisword had been defeated. Such a formidable enemy could not be allowed to live.

Thinking of this, the emperor took a step forward with his mecha. Supreme was so enormous that just one step moved the mecha out of the imperial palace and into the Imperial City. Immediately, the mecha was struck by a slash from the Shenwu World as a massive blade fell from the sky.

Clang!

A loud impact rang out, but a light barrier had appeared around Supreme. The Shenwu World’s attacks could not breach the light barrier.

A long sword formed in one of Supreme’s hands, and the mecha sliced through the Shenwu World, the attack continuing on towards Xia Shenji.

Xia Shenji's face grew pale. How was this mecha so strong? The Progenitor had assumed that a technological civilization which relied on tools and outside strength would be easy to deal with.

On the other hand, Lu Yin had never underestimated the Infinity Empire. They were bold enough to brazenly invade parallel universes, and in doing so, had plundered countless resources. That was precisely why Lu Yin had gathered Senior Brother Mu Ke and the others. However, it now looked like not even their combined strength would be enough to overcome Supreme.

The Energy Research Institute’s head researcher let out a breath of relief. Supreme was still able to hold its ground. That mecha’s terrifying strength was enough to turn the tide.

If thirteen ring energy could be developed and then harnessed in Supreme, who knew what kind of power the mecha would be able to unleash! The mere thought caused the old man's eyes to blaze with excitement.

In contrast, Hong Nian looked despondent when he saw the invincible might of Supreme again. The man had known that Lu Yin’s universe was strong, but they were not able to defeat Supreme. If these people retreated from the Infinity Empire, Hong Nian would have to go with them. He could not stay in the empire.

Supreme's sword tore through the void, and Xia Shenji was forced to quickly dodge. Elsewhere, Xu Wuwei struck at Supreme with voidforce energy, but the mecha remained unmoved. A bead appeared behind Xu Wuwei, and it hurtled towards him from a distant mecha.

That mecha was called Intelcore, and it was piloted by Yi. Intelcore did not possess any powerful offensive abilities, but it was the empire’s best mecha when it came to analyzing energy or identifying an enemy’s weaknesses.

While Xu Wuwei had attacked Supreme, Intelcore had seized the right moment to strike. Fortunately, Xu Wuwei had mastered the power of space, which allowed him to evade the attack.

Still, he was prevented from joining the assault on Supreme.

Big Sis was fighting against Petalstorm. The Progenitor had already defeated one mecha, and while Petalstorm was not a match for Big Sis, she needed a bit of time to defeat it.

Supreme did not want to give Big Sis the time she needed, and the mecha raised its long sword to strike.

In the depths of the Energy Research Institute, Lu Yin's eyes focused tightly. It was time for him to take action.

A step forward caused him to disappear.

The white-haired old man noticed that Lu Yin had vanished. "Is he going to join the fight? He's just a young man."

Hong Nian's expression fell. "That man is the ruler of those cultivators’ universe."

The old man was startled by this news, and he fell silent. Already, the display they were watching showed Lu Yin appear in the sky, high above the Imperial City.

Supreme's sword slashed through the abyssal flowers, forcing Big Sis to quickly evade.

From another direction, Mu Ke's saber sliced through Supreme's light barrier, overcoming the obstacle with sequence particles. However, Supreme itself remained unscathed.

The emperor had been waiting for Mu Ke’s attack. Out of everyone present, Mu Ke posed the greatest threat.

Mu Ke's saber targeted an opening that the emperor had deliberately created. As Mu Ke's blade sliced out, the light barrier reappeared, and the man’s saber was trapped within it. Although Mu Ke could retract his blade, he needed time to do so, but that was time he could not afford to waste. The only other option was to abandon his weapon, which was unthinkable for a warrior like Mu Ke.

The emperor exploited this opportunity, and he threw a punch at Mu Ke.

The man’s eyes narrowed, and although he did not seem to do anything, he vanished, narrowly avoiding the mecha’s punch.

Inside Supreme, the emperor was perplexed. How had the man dodged that punch?

Lu Yin, on the other hand, had seen what had happened quite clearly. Mu Ke had used Origin Tracer.

The battle had fallen into a stalemate, and only Lu Yin could break the deadlock.

He slowly clenched a fist and narrowed his focus. Infinity appeared, and the lines of strength started colliding as Lu Yin used Extremes Must Be Reversed and confined his attack with the power of time.

Instantly, alarms started blaring inside of the mecha. The emperor immediately focused on Lu Yin. What was happening?

Before the mecha’s pilot could even react, Lu Yin's punch landed. The attack easily blasted through the light barrier and slammed into Supreme's hull with a thunderous impact. The void shattered and the ground broke apart. The sky cracked, and spatial tears radiated in all directions.

It was as if a blast of lightning had exploded above the Imperial City.

Supreme staggered back, and the emperor struggled to keep his mecha standing upright. Each step back left deep prints in the ground.

Lu Yin looked down at his fist. Even that attack had been ineffective. While Lu Yin’s punch was comparable to the power of Mu Ke’s Verseless, since Mu Ke could not overcome the mecha’s defenses, then neither could Lu Yin.

He was amazed by Supreme’s abilities. "That thing really is tough! No wonder you're so confident that it can't be destroyed."

Lu Yin's punch shocked almost everyone who saw it. The citizens of the Infinity Empire were rendered speechless, and even their emperor was dumbfounded. Could a human being really deliver a punch with that much power behind it?

In the Energy Research Institute, the old man and Hong Nian were stunned. They were ordinary humans, and they could not even imagine that a person could release so much power without a tool or a weapon.

Lu Yin had shattered the light barrier with a single punch. This meant that he had just been playing around with the light barrier that had trapped him in the institute. He could have broken free even without his bizarre weapons.

Lu Yin's punch had also startled Mu Ke, who had not seen Lu Yin's new level of power after his return from the Mirari Realm. The Arborean had only heard that Lu Yin had driven Di Qiong back and overwhelmed Sovereign Lotus, but hearing about something and witnessing it in person were two different things.

This punch shook Mu Ke, while it startled Xia Shenji, Xu Wuwei, and even Big Sis.

Every eye in the Imperial City was fixed on Lu Yin at this moment, and all of them were filled with disbelief.

However, Lu Yin was staring down at his fist. "I can't break it, so I’ll have to suppress it."

He looked up at Supreme. "I'll treat you like someone at the level of the Seven Skygods, though there’s one thing that you lack compared to people at that level. You’re too clumsy."

With that, Lu Yin visualized the landmass in his inner universe while also releasing that universe. The two overlapped, and a tremor ran through the entire Imperial City.

The emperor felt an instinctive sense of danger. Even in Supreme, he felt a sense of impending doom.

The man glared at Lu Yin. "Who are you people? Why are you attacking my Infinity Empire?"

Lu Yin looked at him calmly. "I'll tell you after I defeat you."

The emperor gritted his teeth. "What a joke! Do you think that you can defeat Supreme?"

Lu Yin raised a hand, and the landmass from his inner universe grew larger and larger until it overshadowed the entire Imperial City. It looked as though the ground and the sky had been reversed.

"Crush."

The landmass dropped down upon Supreme.

The mecha stood tall. There was nothing in the entire Imperial City that could match its height, and that forced Supreme to bear the brunt of the landmass’s weight.

Supreme raised its arms to hold the landmass back. There was a tremendous boom as the two made contact, and Supreme was forced down to one knee. Inside, the emperor's face twisted from shock. What kind of power was this? It felt like he was holding up the entire universe, and the force only continued to increase.

"Your Majesty, let me help!" Yi directed Intelcore over, and the mecha started attacking the falling landmass.

Petalstorm joined in, and it also lashed out at the landmass.

All of their efforts were futile, as the landmass refused to budge from their attacks.

Lu Yin was perfectly calm. This attack had even crushed Feng Bo and forced him to vomit blood. There was no need to worry about these mechas.

Still, Lu Yin was lacking a bit of power. While Supreme was not as strong as Feng Bo, the mecha’s defenses were at least equal to the man’s, if not better. Lu Yin needed to up the pressure even further.

The Wordless Heavenly Book appeared, and golden light illuminated the Infinity Empire as vitality infused the landmass in the sky.

There was a stark difference between a lifeless land and a land filled with vitality.

The moment the landmass was infused with vitality, Supreme's arms started to falter, and cracks appeared. The emperor's face turned red as he struggled to maintain control of the mecha. Supreme was being overpowered. How could such a terrifying power exist? The Infinity Empire had faced many crises in the past, but Supreme had always managed to save the day. Unfortunately, this time, even Supreme was rendered helpless.
