Star Odyssey Chapter 1134: Ultimate Confrontation

Chapter 1134: Ultimate Confrontation

“Forget it. We’ll talk again once you’ve cultivated for longer than just twelve years. With your talent, it won’t be impossible for you to catch up to them,” Lan Si commented.

Lu Yin smiled bitterly and turned to look up at the golden screens.

He had overcome many great difficulties to reach this stage, and he had even traded blows with some of the Neoverse’s top powerhouses in his generation. However, there was just too much of a disparity between him and them.

“Seventh Bro, don’t be discouraged. There are still many days left, and you’re also younger than them,” the Ghost Monkey consoled.

Lu Yin pursed his lips. “Why didn’t you try to help out just now?”

The monkey reluctantly said, “Everyone watched as we fought Yōu Qi, so how could that woman not be on guard against me?”

“With your strength, you should be enough to threaten the Ten Arbiters in the Hunter realm, and if you had fought with me, we wouldn’t have lost so pathetically,” Lu Yin was still dissatisfied.

The Ghost Monkey was in agony. “You’re overestimating this monkey. All I did was use some illusions to influence the enemy, and you have to realize just who your opponent was! That’s a Mavis, and her ancestors can control people. My attacks would have been completely ineffective against her, and I would have been countered by that family’s innate gift and ended up just causing more trouble for you.”

Lu Yin thought about it and eventually agreed. After all, his opponent had been a member of the Mavis family, and they were all monsters.

When the Sixth Mainland had invaded them, their highest echelons had sent down orders to prioritize capturing any and all members of the Mavis family. However, the Sixth Mainland’s forces had not had even one success. That showed the strength of the Mavis family, the family with too many secrets.

There were five people atop the golden screens at this moment, and there were two battlefields.

Quite a few people a.s.sumed that Yuhua Mavis would make another move. However, none of them could have expected that still more people would enter the fray.

Yuhua Mavis slowly turned around as she carefully measured the man who had just stepped foot onto the golden screen. Her face betrayed her surprise. “The Ten Arbiters’ Unseen Light.”

This newest addition to the group atop the golden screens was Unseen Light of the Ten Arbiters. This person had already been defeated by Shang Qing, and he should have lost his qualifications to partic.i.p.ate in the contest to determine the Cosmic Five. However, he had just appeared atop the golden screen where Yuhua Mavis stood. His eyes were already wide open, and they shone brilliantly as he stared at Yuhua Mavis.

Many people in the Mountain and Seas Zone were surprised by this development, particularly that one of the Innerverse’s Ten Arbiters was still making moves.

Delight flashed through Starsibyl’s eyes as she fought with Qiu Shi. Sure enough, the Ten Arbiters had not disappointed her. The Starsibyl Sect had schemed for countless years all for this day, and the Ten Arbiters were not as simple as they appeared to be on the surface.

Although not all of them were extremely powerful, there were a few among them who could contest with the Neoverse’s top young experts, especially if the Arbiters became Enlighters.

Beneath the golden screen, Lu Yin was also not surprised at all by the appearance of an Arbiter.

Ever since Lu Yin entered the Mountain and Seas Zone, all he had heard about was who had defeated which Arbiter and rumors that they had all been driven out of the Mountain and Seas Zone. This was completely different from the Ten Arbiters that Lu Yin was familiar with.

The fact remained that all the Neoverse geniuses who qualified to compete for the position of the Cosmic Five were all extremely powerful, and indescribably so at that. However, the Ten Arbiters should not have been completely annihilated. Lan Si had been able to retaliate against Yōu Qi, and Lu Yin believed that if the two had seriously fought, even if Lan Si ultimately failed to achieve victory, he would not be easily defeated.

If that was the case with Lan Si, then there was no way all the other Arbiters would be weaker than him. Or to take things one step further, if any of the Ten Arbiters broke through to the Enlighter realm, the entire situation would be different.

The Ten Arbiters’ Unseen Light: people called him the Arbiter of Light. Once he opened his eyes, there was no light regardless of if it was day or night.

Such a saying was not an exaggeration. When the remnant spiritual force of the Rune Progenitor had been suppressing the entire Innerverse, Unseen Light had been able to evenly compete with Zhi Yi. At this moment, he revealed himself to be an Enlighter as he stood before Yuhua Mavis.

Shang Qing, who was battling Xia Jiuyou, noticed Unseen Light and frowned; this person should have already been defeated by him.

Yuhua Mavis looked at Unseen Light curiously. “You hid your strength as an Enlighter and intentionally took a beating. Why? Do you want to become one of the Cosmic Five so badly?”

Unseen Light calmly looked at Yuhua Mavis. “Someone once told us to be defeated once, and only once. That way, we would be able to gain a clear view of this Mountain and Seas Zone. Thus, we all lost once.”

“‘We’?” Yuhua Mavis was puzzled.

Unseen Light looked over towards Shang Qing as Liu Tianmu slowly stepped up onto the golden stage. She had been seen as someone rather pathetic due to her fight with Yōu Qi. However, that battle had been a false defeat, as it was actually something that they had agreed to beforehand with Starsibyl. This was the moment for the Ten Arbiters to reveal their true power.

Once more, someone else stepped onto the golden screen where Qiu Shi and Starsibyl were fighting: Wen Sansi.

From three directions, three of the Ten Arbiters appeared. This was a development that n.o.body had foreseen.

Even though Lu Yin was confident in the Ten Arbiters and believed that they had not been defeated that easily, he had neither expected them to be this powerful nor for them to have intentionally lost at Starsibyl’s request. What exactly was the Starsibyl Sect plotting?

“Starsibyl had you guys intentionally accept defeat?” Lu Yin looked over at Lan Si.

Lan Si nodded, but then he smiled bitterly. “However, I really lost. I can’t beat Yōu Qi. However, they should have lost on purpose, as the three of them are actually Enlighters.”

Lu Yin was shocked. In just a few short moments, eight people among the younger generation had revealed themselves to be Enlighters. During the Sixth Mainland’s invasion, the only youths who had been Enlighters were the Daosource Three Skies.

However, there was nothing too amazing about this revelation once Lu Yin thought about it. The Ten Arbiters, as well as the heirs of the Seven Courts, were all able to break through and become Enlighters. However, they had simply wanted to establish a stronger foundation, and so they had delayed their breakthroughs. The Realmlings from the Sixth Mainland were the same; it was not that they could not break through, but rather that they did not.

Lu Yin believed that, right now, the Sixth Mainland would have more than just the Daosource Three Skies as Enlighters within their younger generation. After all, quite some time had pa.s.sed since the invasion.

Xia Jiuyou pulled back from Shang Qing and looked over the distant Liu Tianmu. Astonishment was clearly written on his face, as he had never imagined that the Ten Arbiters would appear at this time.

The Nine Clones Secret Technique fused one into nine. Aside from Xia Jiuyou himself, the clone with the highest cultivation had been Xia Tian, who was just the top ranker on the Top 100 Rankings.

Xia Tian had consistently challenged the Ten Arbiters, as he had wanted to understand their strength. He had originally thought he had a clear grasp of it, but he had never imagined that he had still underestimated the Ten Arbiters. At least, in Xia Tian’s mind, there had been no hints that any of the Ten Arbiters had become Enlighters.

Liu Tianmu had inherited the Sword Sect’s Thirteen Swords, which were incomparable. At this moment, she had also revealed her status as an Enlighter. Her sword qi distorted the void, and it was enough to cause even Shang Qing to glance over at her.

In the entire Neoverse, there were no sects or families that could surpa.s.s the Sword Sect when it came to sword techniques. If not for the fact that the sect truly had no top-tier powerhouses, the Sword Sect would have entered the Neoverse long ago.

However, lacking top-tier powerhouses did not mean that their youths were similarly lacking. Liu Tianmu’s appearance proved that the Sword Sect was qualified to compete with the youths of the Neoverse’s various great powers, even when compared to the Hall of Honor’s First Honor Chosen.

Qiu Shi stopped fighting Starsibyl at this moment, and she calmly looked over at Wen Sansi. “You actually hid your strength as an Enlighter.”

Wen Sansi smiled. “I had no choice. I agreed to be defeated once, so things could only have played out in such a manner.”

Qiu Shi looked over at Starsibyl. “Just what does your Starsibyl Sect want? Is it worth it? All this for a position as one of the Cosmic Five? You should know that the t.i.tles are artificial.”

Starsibyl looked utterly serene. “We’ll discuss this only after the results are decided. At that time, you will understand.”

Qiu Shi frowned. She looked at Wen Sansi and then at Starsibyl. “You two can attack me together.”

Starsibyl’s eyes flickered, and she looked as though she was divining something.

Qiu Shi was known as the All Rounder Fairy; she was an Enlighter, had grasped a secret technique, and had shown a strong lockbreaking ability. However, her last trait had actually never been revealed, and this was what made her opponents the most nervous.

Yuhua Mavis acted. “No matter what you guys are planning, the outcome will not change. You people simply don’t know what sort of existences you’re up against.”

Then, green gra.s.s spread across the golden screens and turned the entire sky green. Dozens of giant green fists appeared, and they all smashed at Unseen Light.

Lu Yin had the strength and defenses to contest Yuhua Mavis, but Unseen Light did not. However, he was able to predict all of his opponent’s attacks, and the power of his domain was something rarely seen within a generation—it had already reached a level that not even Shang Qing and the others could touch.

Unseen Light constantly dodged the green fists, and at the same time, his forcefield coalesced to form a giant, humanoid figure that slapped out at Yuhua Mavis. This was not a physical attack, but rather his domain suppressing her.

Yuhua Mavis’s eyes flashed, and the green gra.s.s started madly growing to form yet another giant fist that shot up from below.

The collision between the material and a domain resulted in an impact between what looked like reality and nothingness, but the two undeniably collided. Unseen Light was an Enlighter as was Yuhua Mavis. When the two attacks met, the might of the collision rang the sky itself and even caused the golden screens to vibrate.

Lu Yin had used all sorts of methods to cross realms and challenge Yuhua Mavis in a stunning battle, though their battle had not been straightforward.

In contrast, Unseen Light’s battle with Yuhua Mavis was just the two going head-to-head; he was using his domain to go against Yuhua Mavis’s brute strength.

One possessed the strongest domain while the other had the most powerful physical strength of their generation. The two had both reached an extreme in a single aspect.

Yuhua Mavis had never thought that one of the Ten Arbiters would be so difficult to deal with, and the green gra.s.s spread out beneath her to form one fist after another that punched at Unseen Light.

Unseen Light’s domain was like a storm that covered everything within 10,000 meters of him, and a visible forcefield had appeared that isolated the fists.

The situation was absolutely shocking.

Even Shang Qing, Qiu Shi, and the others atop the golden screens were distracted by this battle, as they were occasionally forced to dodge a shockwave from the face-off between the domain and the green fists.

Outside the Mountain and Seas Zone, Mu En marveled at the display. “It is truly rare for a member of the younger generation to cultivate a domain to this degree. In the future, he’ll definitely improve and be known throughout the entire universe. This kid deserves to enter the observation list.”

Nearby, Yuan Ke also exclaimed, “There are too many in this upcoming generation with rarely seen talents. Domain, strength, spiritual force, battle techniques, innate gifts, and secret techniques—there’s someone who’s reached the pinnacle in each aspect. Since ancient times, there has never been a generation this powerful.”

“Resplendent stars will definitely give rise to Progenitors. Leave the opportunity for these youths. There’s no more hope for us,” one elder helplessly lamented.

Highsage Shenwei spoke up, “Old Mu, Lu Yin also qualifies to enter the observation list, correct?”

Mu En smiled. “Naturally. He was already placed on the list back when he defeated that Daynight child. No, it was actually back when he united the Outerverse. Those on the list are not only evaluated for their power level, as their plotting, strategy, thinking, and so on are all considered. This child is very well qualified.”

Highsage Shenwei was unhappy. “Why is it that our Lu Yin entered the observation list not because of his strength but because of his scheming?”

Mu En laughed. “Strength and mind are both aspects of oneself.”

“It’s known as boldness.” Highsage Shenwei could not help himself.

Mu En thought about it, but then he nodded. “Yes, boldness. Since ancient times, there has been n.o.body who has accomplished the feats Lu Yin has.”

Highsage Shenwei was pleased, and he looked over at Xia Meng. “Little Meng, why aren’t you speaking? Rest a.s.sured, Xia Jiuyou has definitely entered the observation list as well. He’s fighting that Chosen who’s cultivated the Tri-Yang Technique to a standstill, and there aren’t many who can do that.”

Xia Meng calmly replied, “I know.”

Within the Mountain and Seas Zone, Unseen Light’s domain gave off a grand aura while Yuhua Mavis’s fist contained a boundless strength. The two fought each other for several breaths, and their battle filled the sky, stunning all the spectators.
