Star Odyssey Chapter 1290: Infinite Power

Chapter 1290: Infinite Power

Lulu Mavis was nervous. Both of the people currently in the arena were quite close to her, but she naturally hoped that Sister Yuhua would win, though she also hoped that Lu Yin would not lose too badly.

Lulu belonged to the Mavis family, and she was aware of the horror of the Treeheart Descendent. Lu Yin definitely did not fully understand what having infinite power meant. He would certainly lose, but Lulu nonetheless hoped that it would not be too bad for him.

In the Neoverse, the Mavis family lived on the back of their ma.s.sive ancestral tortoise. At this moment, many of the members of the Mavis family had gathered around a screen. "Sister Yuhua’s fighting! She’ll let them see what real power is."

"Those monsters from the Astral Beast Domain are only able to use brute force, which is why our Mavis family is the representative of strength."

"Sister Yuhua isn’t just powerful—she’s also our Treeheart Descendant."

"Lu Yin isn’t weak either. Supposedly, he took on seven of Sister Yuhua's punches in the Mountain and Seas Zone. He is actually very powerful for a human, but unfortunately, he’s unlucky enough to meet Sister Yuhua once again. He’s done for in ZENITH."

"Sister Yuhua, come on! Show your true strength and let humans know what it means to be strong!"

…

Most of those who knew about the Mavis family were Neoverse powers.

When they saw that Lu Yin's opponent was Yuhua Mavis, none of them believed that he stood any chance, even if he had been given the role of gatekeeper. So what if he had managed to take out Little Arrow Saint with a single attack? The Mavis family was absolutely terrifying, and this was well known.

On Eversky Island, Highsage Grandmaster had a calm appearance. This was the true beginning of ZENITH.

In the Honor Zone, Arch-Elder Zen smiled as he watched on. Little guy, let me see what sort of strength you have.

On Zenith Mountain, on the first layer, Lu Yin faced off against Yuhua Mavis. He raised all of his fingers, before lowering three. "Seven punches."

Yuhua Mavis arched a brow. "Are you intending to go up against me for another seven punches?"

Lu Yin smiled. "I hope that you can take all seven of my punches."

Yuhua Mavis's expression fell. "Okay, seven punches. Let's see how powerful you really are."

When they had fought atop the golden stage in the Mountain and Seas Zone, Lu Yin had managed to match up to four of Yuhua Mavis’s punches with pure strength, but the last three had forced him to also use battle force and the Overlaying Stacks Path. In reality, he had only matched four of Yuhua Mavis’s punches, and clearly, she had not put her full strength into any of those punches either.

If Yuhua Mavis had unleashed her full strength with her first punch, then there would have been no chance of Lu Yin enduring such an attack.

At present, Lu Yin had no intention of exploding forth with his full strength either, and he lightly stepped forward and threw a punch at Yuhua Mavis.

Yuhua Mavis's gaze grew sharp, and she lifted a fist. This was a conversation of strength.

Boom!

There was a deafening noise as the void shattered and the ground broke apart around the two. Both of them plummeted into the hole at the same time.

At the foot of Zenith Mountain, people could feel ripples of power spreading out that tore open countless s.p.a.ce cracks. This was a truly shocking sight.

This clash not only stunned people present at and around Zenith Mountain, but also the countless people watching the live broadcast.

Even if they had not traveled to watch ZENITH in person, they were still able to feel the terrifying power of this clash.

This was only the first punch, but it already contained more power than the seventh punch that Lu Yin and Yuhua Mavis had exchanged in the Mountain and Seas Zone. What’s more, this was also just the starting line.

Back then, Yuhua Mavis had punched Lu Yin, and each subsequent attack had been a bit stronger than Lu Yin’s. She had been able to suppress him without seriously injuring him, which showed her excellent control over her own strength.

However, Lu Yin did not bother with any of that. Although he did not divert any of his fatesand, he had thrown the strongest punch that his physical body was capable of, as he believed that Yuhua Mavis could handle it.

The power of this one punch was domineering and terrifying.

The first layer of Zenith Mountain cracked.

Yuhua Mavis's right fist was red where it had collided with Lu Yin's.

Lu Yin smiled casually. "Here’s the second punch. Let’s keep going."

As his voice fell, he diverted his fatesand. At this moment, all of the fatesand that had merged together and gathered around his heart was released, and a terrifying power filled the air as the two combatants rushed towards each other and their fists clashed.

The same scene as before took place once again. The peak of Zenith Mountain trembled, and shockwaves swept the area, tearing through the void and leaving spatial cracks in its wake. There was the sound of a thunderous explosion, which terrified many people.

Yuhua Mavis took a few steps back and shook her right hand right as the aftershock from their clash slammed into the other contestants still on the first layer.

The other youths were separated from the battlefield by a barrier that the shockwaves slammed into. Although it did not shatter, the force of the shockwaves still shook the youths’ hearts as it slammed through the air.

Several Explorers immediately began to bleed from their seven orifices, as they were unable to endure even these remnant shockwaves.

People stared at Lu Yin and Yuhua Mavis as though they were looking at monsters.

Lu Yin raised his right fist. This was his current strength. After breaking through to the Hunter realm, his strength had increased tremendously. He had even been strong enough to go toe to toe with Corpse Beast after a third corpse king transformation, which was something that Yuhua Mavis and the others had not been able to do.

"If this is all the power you have, then I’ll be disappointed," Lu Yin looked at Yuhua Mavis and gently prodded her.

Who in the entire universe could say such a thing to a member of the Mavis family? Even if one looked through all of history, there had been very, very few. Even powerful Progenitors knew better than to underestimate the power of the Mavis family.

Outside Zenith Mountain, Qin Mavis' face fell. "It has been a long time since my Mavis family has borne a Treeheart Descendant, and she is truly being underestimated."

Not far away, Mu En's expression changed; it was true. Yuhua Mavis was a Treeheart Descendant of the Mavis family, which meant that she was not the same as a regular member of the Mavis family. She possessed another source of power.

The Mavis family possessed a battle technique known as Infinite Power. Most of the universe believed that the Mavis family used this technique to raise their strength to new heights in battle, and while it was true that the technique could be used in such a manner, that was not its original purpose. It had not been created for the regular members of the Mavis family, but rather for their Treeheart Descendants, and it still belonged to the Treeheart Descendants.

On the first layer, Yuhua Mavis took a deep breath and moved her hand. There were traces of blood on her fist, her blood. When they had been comparing strength just now, she had used her full power, just like when she had fought against Corpse Beast. She had unleashed the greatest strength that a human could possess.

However, Yuhua Mavis was not an ordinary human. She was the Mavis family’s Treeheart Descendant, born from their ancestral tree. She was part of humanity, but she was also not quite human.

"Actually, that corpse king from the Neohuman Alliance was really lucky," Yuhua Mavis calmly stated.

Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "What do you mean?"

Yuhua Mavis looked at Lu Yin. "The Mavis family has a battle technique known as Infinite Power."

Lu Yin was puzzled; he was familiar with this battle technique. "When you used that technique against Corpse Beast, it looked like you were the one who lost. It's useless to boost your strength with that technique."

Yuhua Mavis wiped away the blood from her right fist. "That's why I said that that corpse king was lucky."

Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. Her meaning was too obvious; she had not actually used the battle technique at that time.

"No matter if it’s in the Neoverse or throughout all of history, the Mavis family’s Treeheart Descendants have truly used Infinite Power very few times, and there are almost no records of it. After all, it is seldom necessary or even helpful when a Treeheart Descendant is the one making a move.

“Lu Yin, you deserve to go down in history since you’re the first human in modern times capable of facing Infinite Power. Here’s a reminder—don’t treat me like a human from now on.” Yuhua Mavis looked calm, and her face had taken on a very soft and pious expression as she spoke.

An alarm suddenly went off in Lu Yin's heart as he stared at Yuhua Mavis. He suddenly remembered the Ghost Monkey’s words: the Mavis family’s Treeheart descendants had almost never lost throughout history, and the Mavis family was absolutely extraordinary.

The Ghost Monkey had been created by Progenitor Wushang, which lent credence to the power of the Mavis family.

The Mavis family’s Treeheart Descendants were truly invincible.

If he wished, Lu Yin could take action immediately, and he was capable of using his domain or spiritual force to attack Yuhua Mavis, which would leave her unable to use her so-called “Infinite Power” battle technique. However, he did not do this. His intention was to suppress the Mavis family in a battle of strength.

Yuhua Mavis pressed her hands together as though in prayer.

Lu Yin felt a chill run down his back when he saw this posture.

It was easy to be intimidated by anyone who made such a gesture. Who knows what they were praying to? But praying meant that they were able to borrow some form of power.

Lu Yin’s strongest impression of such behavior came from his fight against Nightking Zhenwu. At that time, the members of the Fireplume Tribe had behaved in this manner as well, and they had succeeded in breaking Zhenwu’s innate gift.

Yuhua Mavis's body shone with a green light as branches and leaves grew from the soles of her feet, lifting her up high. There were only green leaves and no flowers, but these leaves were even more beautiful and alluring than flowers.

The branches and leaves twined about each other as Yuhua Mavis moved high into the sky. She lit up the entirety of Zenith Mountain, as well as the entire local region of s.p.a.ce. The light even illuminated many of the people watching from the countless screens.

This sight left everyone amazed. Yuhua Mavis looked like an elf in a tree, beautiful and distinct. Even by just seeing her on a screen, countless people felt as though Yuhua Mavis had cleansed their hearts.

Yuhua Mavis was a beautiful woman. She walked through the air with bare feet while plants bloomed wherever she went, and at this moment, she appeared to be completely unblemished. Lu Yin stared at her for a moment, as he felt that the moment he made a move, he would destroy the beauty of the moment and become a sinner .

Suddenly, Yuhua Mavis’s eyes opened, and she looked around. The glowing green leaves that illuminated the sky gradually shrank and condensed onto her forehead to form an image of green leaves that shone with a faint green light. Yuhua Mavis then landed on the ground and looked at Lu Yin. Her eyes were strange, and her expression was as though she was looking at a mere ant.

"It's been a long time," Yuhua Mavis said lightly.

When he saw Yuhua Mavis in this state from his distant position, Shang Qing's expression grew serious. As the Hall of Honor’s first Honor Chosen, he was privy to a great deal of information about the universe’s history, and that included information about the Mavis family. Infinite Power was a specialized battle technique that had been created specifically for the Treeheart Descendants, and once the technique was used, they were no longer human.

If Yuhua Mavis had previously been considered a human who represented the pinnacle of physical human strength, then she could no longer be considered human. Shang Qing did not know what she actually was at this moment, only that this condition had been mentioned few times in the historical records.

Of all of the contestants in ZENITH, the partic.i.p.ant who had been truly unmatched concerning physical strength was Star Devourer. When he opened all six eyes, the sky and the ground had both trembled, and even the area beyond Zenith Mountain had been affected. Yuhua Mavis clearly was not able to exert the same level of power, but neither could Lu Yin, who was facing her.
