Star Odyssey

Chapter 510: Invincible Strength

A glint flickered in Kayze’s eyes, and he raised his hands up as the air trembled. Strands of wind started to appear and wrap around each other to form an enormous sphere.

Countless people watched this scene. “That’s sound! He managed to physically manifest sound.”

“He truly is from the Dire Barbarian Clan; they’re all experts at acoustic battle techniques.”

…

As the ball of sound increased in size, Lu Yin frowned. He wouldn’t allow himself to be defeated by just that. He lifted his hand and released a Spacerender Palm, sending visible shockwaves pulsing towards Kayze. No Limiteer could ignore Lu Yin’s attacks if he unleashed more than half of his strength. In the past, Lu Yin had managed to break free from Mu Rong’s farmer boy’s song through sheer physical power, causing Mu Rong to admit defeat. A month ago, Lu Yin had managed to make both Ling Que and Mu Rong admit defeat with just two moves.

At this moment, Lu Yin was extremely strong, and not even Explorers were able to withstand his attacks, not even powerhouses on the Top 100 Rankings.

Kayze had been surprised by Lu Yin’s strength as soon as he sensed it with his hearing. He gathered the ball of sound and sent it flying towards Lu Yin, causing it to collide against Lu Yin’s Spacerender Palm.

The sky suddenly exploded and shattered into numerous spatial cracks that rained down upon the ground, causing Northgate Gang and the others to tremble with fear.

Lu Yin didn’t bother waiting for the aftershocks to die down. He immediately used Flash to instantly appear next to Kayze. He swept his leg towards Kayze, who promptly dodged, but he was still pushed back by the aftermath of Lu Yin’s attack.

Kayze gritted his teeth. Lu Yin was far too strong, and it was no wonder why there were rumors of him defeating Faceless. Kayze roared and reluctantly used all of his star energy. His hair stood on end as he gathered many soundwaves close to himself. The soundwaves then transformed into black flames. This was his strongest battle technique: Berserk Inferno.

Everyone who was near the mountain range felt their heart stop for a moment. They felt as if they had heard a deafening noise. Kayze pushed his palm outwards, and the soundwaves that had turned into black flames swept across the area, spreading across a region of nearly ten thousand meters.

Lu Yin’s body shook as cracks appeared under his feet. He frowned and turned pale when the soundwaves erupted. However, he quickly used his right hand to tear through the soundwaves before leaping towards Kayze. He raised a hand and pressed towards the Explorer’s head.

Kayze’s eyes narrowed, and he hurriedly retreated. The shockwaves from Lu Yin’s attack had managed to hit his abdomen and caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, he had managed to protect his body from Lu Yin’s attack, but he had still been launched against the mountainside, causing him to vomit blood once again.

Kayze didn’t hesitate to retreat from the mountain range in pain when Lu Yin glanced over.

The soundwaves started dissipating as soon as he left.

Lu Yin sighed and rubbed his temples. Sound attacks could not be dodged, so he could only directly withstand them. Fortunately, Kayze’s attack hadn’t surpassed the limits of Lu Yin’s body. Otherwise, he would have been in trouble.

This was just the first battle. Soon, there would be many more Explorers making their appearances. Lu Yin wondered if he would be able to continue to successfully defend the mountain range. However, he also wondered if it would be better for him if he failed to defend the pyrolyte mine. That way, the Sea King wouldn’t be able to reprimand him, and at the same time, the Innerverse organizations wouldn’t feel a need to target him either.

Kayze had been defeated in their battle, which was only a small surprise to the various powers watching the events unfold.

Lu Yin had defeated Faceless in the past, and he had even fought against Cheng Wu for a short while. His strength seemed to be comparable to top seventy on the Top 100 Rankings, which meant that it wasn’t a huge upset to anyone when he was able to defeat Kayze.

However, Lu Yin had been able to defeat Kayze very quickly due to the Explorer’s weak defense. Although the Dire Barbarian Clan’s acoustic attacks carried an element of surprise, Lu Yin’s strength was something uniquely his, and most people could not withstand his physical attacks.

Kayze had been lucky enough to quickly escape. If he had been heavily injured by Lu Yin, then he might have involuntarily started breathing, which would have caused him to explode from the ambient pyrolyte entering his body.

There was complete silence in the Dire Barbarian Clan’s spacecraft. Lei Long looked at his screen gloomily; they had been defeated.

Kayze soon returned with a pale face, and everyone turned to look at him.

Scholar Newmoon and Huo Houye were also present, as they desperately wanted to learn of Lu Yin’s power so that they could find someone who could defeat him. They didn’t want to learn things through trial and error, as that would waste far too many star essence. Even if they were able to transfer star essence from the Blaze Realm, it would still be a waste of resources.

“Alright, so what’s that boy’s ability?” Lei Long asked sharply.

Kayze answered quietly, “Judging by what I was able to hear, we will need someone in the top seventy—no, the top sixty of the Top 100 Rankings.”

Huo Houye’s face shifted dramatically. “He’s that powerful?”

Kayze bitterly replied, “His physical defense is too powerful and complex. He might not be able to beat someone in the top seventy, but they would also struggle to defeat him in turn.”

Everyone fell silent, as this meant that Lu Yin’s defenses were even stronger than his attacks.

“Interesting. Elder Lei, gather more star essence and send me down. I want to play with him,” a voice rang out from the corner.

Everyone turned around, and Kayze was stunned: Avery?

Avery smirked as he stared at the screen. So Lu Yin had a strong physical defense? What a coincidence! He happened to be exactly the same. Also, Avery loved to fight strong people and tear them apart.

Lei Long awkwardly replied, “Avery, with your level of strength, you would need more than ten times the star essence that Kayze used. Our clan doesn’t have such a huge amount of star essence.”

The technique of incorporating star essence as a second skin meant that each skin was unique to a person; otherwise, even Hunters would be able to go down to Planet Pyrolyte. The amount of star essence required for the skin differed from person to person, and it was also affected by each individual’s body.

For Kayze, they had needed more than a thousand star essence, which had then been processed and compressed into a thin layer that acted as a second skin for him.

If they made a similar skin for Avery, he would need far, far more than a thousand star essence; he might need three, four, or maybe even tens of thousands of star essence. While Avery was only a Cruiser, he was also ranked fourth on the Top 100 Rankings.

To a strong clan, tens of thousands of star essence was something that they could gather, but they couldn’t casually use such an amount of wealth on just anything. At this moment, there still wasn’t a great need for Avery to join the battle since the Blaze Realm and the Ross Empire had powerhouses as well. The combination of the three organizations gave them sufficient strength to hold their own against the other powers.

Avery contemptuously answered, “Our clan can’t achieve anything great because of conservatives like you.”

Anger flickered within Lei Long’s eyes, but he didn’t quarrel with Avery. This youth was the pride of the Dire Barbarian Clan as well as the greatest genius that the Dire Barbarian Clan had seen in thousands of years. They all assumed that Avery would be the person to support the clan in the future. Thus, given Avery’s status in the clan, it wasn’t up to Lei Long to reprimand him.

Although Kayze had been defeated, he had still managed to enter Planet Pyrolyte and had even fought against Lu Yin. This exacerbated the other forces’ desire to obtain star essence, and many of them had already started transporting star essence from the Innerverse. However, traveling from the Innerverse to Planet Pyrolyte took almost half a month, and that much time caused all of them to become anxious.

After Kayze, two more Explorers from the Ross Empire and Blaze Realm went down to the surface of Planet Pyrolyte. The Blaze Realm had been given previous notice by the Ross Empire, and so, they had managed to enough star essence rather quickly.

Even so, most of the star essence had just been used on Kayze, and so, the next two Explorers weren’t very powerful. They were just elites among Explorers, but their main aim wasn’t to fight against Lu Yin to take control of the mountain range. Rather, it was to steal pyrolyte from the other forces.

Kayze, together with the other two Explorers, was able to take over any place on Planet Pyrolyte aside from Pyrolyte Mountain and Pyrolyte Lake. The trio was even capable of taking over Pyrolyte Plain which was currently controlled by the Daynight clan, but they didn’t do so as the Daynight clan was too overbearing. Thus, they only picked fights against the other forces, such as the Souldream Tribe.

Xi Yue saw a warning being spelled out by their spacecraft, and she had decisively led the members of the Souldream Tribe to flee, preventing Kayze from annihilating everyone in the Souldream Tribe.

Mira’s idea had managed to prevent countless deaths thus far, and it also made the sky above Planet Pyrolyte more lively.

Sometimes, when Hai Qiqi was bored, she would look at the sky and watch the ships. She would try to guess what the messages were trying to say, and she had even been right a few times.

“Hey, look! The ugly man tribe and the pretty lady tribe are fighting!” Hai Qiqi shouted excitedly as she pointed at a message formed by spacecraft.

Lu Yin raised his head and saw the string of messages formed from spacecraft

“Run, Yi is chasing.”

“Chase, steal Yue.”

“Run quickly, west.”

“Block, west.”

“North, run.”

“North, block.”

…

The sky was bustling.

Lu Yin speechlessly watched it all unfold. Hai Qiqi, on the other hand, was extremely entertained.

Suddenly, another batch of spacecraft appeared in the sky and charged towards the Souldream Tribe’s vessels without warning, destroying all of their spacecraft. This meant that either the Blaze Realm or the Ross Empire had started attacking, and they were helping the Dire Barbarian Clan by obstructing Xi Yue’s group.

It was to be expected that Xi Yue’s group would soon be caught by the Dire Barbarian Clan since the Souldream Tribe was unable to provide any further directions from the sky. Even without Kayze’s help, the other two Explorers were still enough to easily wipe out the entire Souldream Tribe.

Lu Yin frowned. He had heard the stories about the feud between the Dire Barbarian Clan and the Souldream Tribe. If Xi Yue was caught, then her life would become a living nightmare.

At that moment, a spacecraft landed at the base of the mountain range, attracting everyone’s attention. This mountain range had suddenly become a focal point for the major forces in space.

There was a girl in the spacecraft with a very elegant appearance. Her robe bore dark blue musical notes, which was the tribal symbol of the Souldream Tribe and proof that this girl was from the Souldream Tribe.

The girl lightly came from the spacecraft and flew straight towards Lu Yin on the mountain range.

In space, the people from the Dire Barbarian Clan were shocked. That girl was Lan Yue from the Souldream Tribe, and she was clearly seeking Lu Yin’s help.

Lu Yin silently watched her approach.

Hai Qiqi looked at the approaching girl and thought that she was quite pretty.

“Brother Lu, I’m Lan Yue. Do you still remember me?” the girl asked anxiously.

Lu Yin nodded. “Yes. What’s wrong?”

Lan Yue bowed and explained, “Brother Lu, please help save the members of my Souldream Tribe. If you do, Lan Yue will be eternally grateful.”

Lu Yin helped her up as he fell into deep thought. He did not answer her immediately.
