Star Odyssey

Chapter 1232: Lu Yin And Leader Hong

Was there more? Did the Chief Justice count? Apparently, it did not matter that Lu Yin cultivated death energy. Finally, what about Arch-Elder Zen? He was the head of the Hall of Honor, and yet the old man had stepped out for Lu Yin. Countless people in the Hall of Honor were able to read the signs; Arch-Elder Zen favored Lu Yin.

Arch-Elder Zen was the true master of the Hall of Honor, and he favored Lu Yin. Thus, what more needed to be said?

Those who wanted to stop the Great Eastern Alliance from attacking the Blaze Realm went silent one by one. They had been given a warning, and their expressions grew ugly. They were all on good terms with the Blaze Realm.

Lu Yin had attacked the Blaze Realm, but no one in the Hall of Honor dared to interfere.

The Blaze Realm’s final hope was the other Innerverse powers. The mere existence of the Great Eastern Alliance had caused the entire Innerverse to suffer terrible losses, and thus, it made sense that the Innerverse’s top powers would not stand by and watch the Great Eastern Alliance attack the Blaze Realm and allow the Outerverse to gain a foothold in Blazing Mist Flowzone.

However, in truth, the top Innerverse powers did not actually care. Lu Yin’s threat from when he had visited the Sword Sect was still fresh in their ears, and they did not dare to make any rash moves before ZENITH concluded.

Suspicion and jealousy made it so that no one moved to reinforce the Blaze Realm. The closest allies, the sylvan dragon clan and the Ross Empire, were both stopped by Leon's Armada. The pirates would not take action, but they also would not allow anyone to send out support.

This was Lu Yin's final play. Regardless of if it was the sylvan dragon clan, the Ross Empire, or even the Sword Sect, the Wen family, or any of the other top Innerverse powers, any and all support would be blocked by Leon's Armada.

…

The eighty six members of the Frostgate Army were all Enlighters who had woken up from cryostasis. The power of this army had already caused Blazing Mist Flowzone to suffer heavy casualties in the past. Even at their peak, when the Blaze Realm had teamed up with the Ross Empire and the sylvan dragon clan, they had still failed to defeat the Royal Frost Continent. At this moment, the Blaze Realm was facing the Frostgate Army all by themselves, and no matter how powerful Madam Lan might be, it would be difficult for her to win when pitted against the entire Frostgate Army. After all, there were experts in the army with power levels above 300,000.

Suddenly, the Skyblaze Stone flew through space and towards the blazing fireball.

The scorching temperature of the fireball roasted everything in the area, and the temperature continued to rise higher and higher. Just when Madam Lan wondered why the Frostgate Army had not frozen her fireball, she noticed that the blaze was shrinking.

She stared in disbelief, as her blazing fireball was actually shrinking until it finally simply disappeared. All that remained where the fireball had once blazed was a small, red stone. Her attack had been absorbed by that stone.

Madam Lan immediately moved out, intending to seize the stone that had managed to absorb her attack. Such a thing was too suited for her Blaze Realm.

However, the Frostgate Army would not let her move about as she wished.

Madam Lan took out a power vessel, and without fully understanding what had happened, she managed to move past the Frostgate Army and approach the Skyblaze Stone with a single step as she stretched out her hand to grab it.

However, just as she was about to grab the Skyblaze Stone, the red stone simply disappeared.

She was stunned, and her eyes swept the area until she found a red dot, which was the Skyblaze Stone. When she found it, the Skyblaze Stone was being held by a young man who looked back at her with a smile.

Madam Lan stared at the young man, and her eyes narrowed. "Lu Yin?"

Lu Yin’s brows rose high. "Madam Lan, why is Leader Hong treating you like this? Why would he sacrifice you for the Blaze Realm?"

Madam Lan sneered. "Some mere child wants to convince me to surrender!"

After that, she slapped out a palm, and formless flames roared out to cover the entire Allied Forces.

This was the Blaze Realm's battle technique: Cotton Palm. Long ago, Arikar had adapted the Cotton Palm to create his Endless Darkgold Palm by utilizing his innate gift of dark gold.

But before the attack could even reach Lu Yin, it was stopped by a lone figure: Shao Yangxun.

Shao Yangxun looked up, revealing that one of his pupils had turned blue while the other had turned red. "Iceburst Flames."

After that, blue ice wrapped with a trace of flame burst forth, flying towards Madam Lan.

Her pupils shrank sharply, and her back went cold. This person's battle techniques gave her a feeling that a crisis was headed her way; this man’s power level was absolutely not weak. He actually almost her equal in terms of power.

Lu Yin was surprised to see that Yan Yan had recovered to the point where his power level was almost 400,000 again. He was worthy of his position as the Royal Frost Continent’s general and the Frostgate Army’s Commander.

Standing in space and facing the strange burning ice, Madam Lan gritted her teeth and took out a ball from her cosmic ring. A bit of flames could be seen within the ball, but Madam Lan suddenly looked sad. "Master, your disciple is incompetent, and the items that you left for this disciple were only meant to save my life. This is the last one, and today, your disciple will use it."

Her eyes grew firm as she spoke these words before lifting a hand to throw the ball at the burning ice.

However, the next instant, the ball simply disappeared.

Madam Lan was stunned and then turned to stare at Lu Yin. He had used a secret technique.

Off in the distance, Lu Yin opened his hand to look at the ball that he now held. He saw an impressive number of rune lines from it, and they approached a power level of 500,000. This ball contained the strength of the predecessors, and it was similar to the power vessels that Yuan Shi had once given Lu Yin like the pearl bracelet and the walnut-looking power vessels.

"Give it back to me!" Madam Lan shouted fiercely, completely ignoring the burning ice approaching her as she rushed towards Lu Yin. She was a striking woman, but at this moment, she looked absolutely vicious.

The corners of Lu Yin's mouth curled up, and he put away the ball before lifting a hand. “Vacuum Palm."

There was a bang as Madam Lan was struck by the Vacuum Palm head on. She had an impressive battle strength, but she was very weak when it came to her physique. If even Emperor Luo had been knocked back by Lu Yin’s Vacuum Palm, there was no need to mention Madam Lan.

A single Vacuum Palm was enough to take away half of Madam Lan's life.

Shao Yangxun did not strike the woman with his Iceburst Flames, instead throwing the Iceburst Flames further into the Blaze Realm when Madam Lan had rushed at Lu Yin.

The next second, the Blaze Realm exploded, and space warped as ripples swept out in all directions.

The Frostgate Army had erected a barrier of solid ice in front of the Allied Forces to protect them from the power of Shao Yangxun’s Iceburst Flame.

Madam Lan's face went pale, and she looked back at the Blaze Realm. There was blood on her mouth, and her body began trembling uncontrollably. She could not stop it.

"Protect the army!" Lu Yin snapped at Shao Yangxun before donning is universal armor and rushing further into the Blaze Realm.

At this moment, Lu Yin did not need to worry about any of the Blaze Realm’s cultivators, as the only powerhouse left was Madam Lan, but she would not be an opponent for Shao Yangxun's in her current state. Lu Yin was headed out to find Leader Hong.

After passing by the Blaze Realm’s defensive sourcebox array, Lu Yin regretted being a step too late. It would have been ideal if he had absorbed the flames from the array with his Skyblaze Stone.

In front of him, there was a black hole in space that was surrounded by the wreckage of many spacecraft that were in the process of being sucked in.

The Iceburst Flames had shattered a portion of space and wiped out the Blaze Realm’s fleet of battleships. That one attack had eliminated hundreds of thousands of Blaze Realm disciples.

Off in the distance, Elder Tan gasped and stared at the scene in terror. He did not want to stay. This battle was too frightening, and not even Madam Lan was able to do anything.

Elder Tan no longer cared about Madam Lan's situation, as he intended to save his own life.

Just as he tried to flee, Lu Yin appeared in front of the Enlighter.

Elder Tan's face went pale, as he knew of Lu Yin. It was impossible for anyone with any sort of status in the Innerverse or Outerverse to not know about Lu Yin. He had attacked the Blaze Realm, and he was obviously trying to replace them in order to establish a foothold in the Innerverse.

"Who are you?" Lu Yin asked in a deep voice.

Elder Tan shuddered, "Blaze- Blaze Realm elder."

"Take me to Leader Hong." After finishing speaking, Lu Yin grabbed a hold of Elder Tan and raced further into the depths of the Blaze Realm.

Elder Tan instantly started begging for mercy. "Alliance Leader Lu, the Realm Master is in the innermost depths! Just go straight until you see the largest and reddest planet. That’s where you’ll find the Realm Master. Please let me go! I’m just a little Enlighter."

Lu Yin did not respond. Instead, he continued to tear through the void as he made his way forward. Countless people from the Blaze Realm fled as he made his way forward, scrambling in all directions before gathering in large groups that protested against the Great Eastern Alliance.

Lu Yin ignored them all, and he soon arrived at the heart of the Blaze Realm: Planet Red.1

Looking at the red planet, Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. He could see Leader Hong's rune lines, which were amazing in number. Although the Envoy had been seriously injured, he still gave off the feeling of being unfathomable.

An Envoy would still be an Envoy.

Blaze Realm cultivators appeared from all around and surrounded Lu Yin. Each of them were Explorers, which was too weak to cause Lu Yin any concern at all.

"Get out!" a fire cultivator shouted fiercely as he stared at Lu Yin. The man raised his hand and slashed out with a long knife that radiated a terrible temperature. The knife sliced through the void with a single slash.

Lu Yin's eyes paused. Then, his energy exploded: Night Advent.

The surrounding practitioners all trembled before simultaneously vomiting blood and collapsing in space. Their spiritual force and cultivation was not strong enough to stop Lu Yin’s Night Advent.

Lu Yin looked down at the massive red planet. "Leader Hong, is letting your disciples die for you how you behave as the master of the Blaze Realm?"

Leader Hong’s voice rose up from within Planet Red, "Junior, do you really believe that gathering a bit of trash is enough to destroy my Blaze Realm? You underestimate this Blaze Realm that has stood in Blazing Mist Flowzone for countless years!"

Lu Yin raised his head. "I wouldn’t dare to underestimate it. The Blaze Realm at its peak was truly not something that a junior like me could fight against, and not even the full power of the entire Outerverse would have been enough to break you. However, you are long past your peak, and I was even able to overturn Daynight Flowzone. Thus, there’s no need to mention your Blaze Realm."

"Daynight Flowzone was overturned by Leon’s Armada, not you! You can barely hold my Blaze Realm back from stepping forward with your Outerverse trash," Leader Hong replied in a deep voice.

Lu Yin smiled. "It's enough to drag down the entire Blazing Mist Flowzone."

"I may not know the vastness of the universe, but the universe is not a kind place. The Outerverse and Innerverse were separated for a time, which allowed you to unify the Outerverse. However, now that the Innerverse has reconnected with the Outerverse, your every move is being watched by the entire Innerverse. What you’re doing will not work again, and it is not repeatable. If you try this for a second time, then you will be devoured by the Innerverse. At that time, your family, friends, and even your followers will all be devoured until no trace of you scum is left!" Leader Hong shouted.

Lu Yin's eyes flashed. This old man had said things quite well, as Lu Yin’s methods of attacking the Blaze Realm were guaranteed to be thoroughly studied by the Innerverse, such as the moment that he had used the Skyblaze Stone to absorb the flames, or how he had sent Lilyrose out. Everything that he had done during this attack would be thoroughly studied.

Doing something once meant that it could never be done again, which was very troublesome.

"Leave now, and my Blaze Realm and your Great Eastern Alliance will have peace, and my Blaze Realm can promise to never participate in the Purge," Leader Hong loudly declared, his voice shaking Planet Red, and even a bit of the nearby space. Flames leaped up from the planet and swept across space in all directions.

Lu Yin felt amused. "I’ve managed to make it all the way to this point, and yet you still are trying to convince me to retreat. Leader Hong, you must be losing your edge in your old age."

"Impudent!" Leader Hong shouted angrily. Planet Red shone brightly before the light turned into flames that swept towards Lu Yin. Leader Hong was using the power of the planet to boost his attack power, which was something that Lu Yin had already guessed would happen. The same thing had taken place when Lu Yin had wiped out Firesmelt Planet, as Yan Wujiu had consumed the entire planet to push his strength to the limit.
