Star Odyssey Chapter 1964

Chapter 1964

The moment the words “stellular energy pill” left Lu Yin’s lips, Leaf King’s hand was raised and attacking Lu Yin. The man showed absolutely no hesitation.

Lu Yin’s words had eliminated any restraint that Leaf King had previously felt, forcing a fight to break out.

The Second Nightking instantly appeared in front of Lu Yin. The old man snorted disdainfully as he pointed a finger at Leaf King and released a Nightking Advent Immortal Finger. A terrible chill appeared that nearly froze the entire hidden world that was Shamrock Enterprise’s headquarters.

This attack far surpa.s.sed anything that Leaf King could endure. The nearby Yu Er was frozen, and she fell to the ground.

There was a snap as Leaf King pointed to his own forehead. The man’s head cracked open, but oddly enough, there was no blood to be seen. The man’s entire body split in two, one side of which transformed into a tree that moved to wrap around the Second Nightking.

The Second Nightking dismissed the encroaching tree and simply wiggled his finger. Stellular energy shot through the air, shattering the void and leaving behind countless spatial cracks in the hidden world. Outside, in the Honor Zone, the shamrock started cracking on all three of its leaves. The hidden world was not able to endure the Second Nightking’s might.

Lu Yin continuously retreated. Shamrock Enterprise did not possess the strength to stand up to the Second Nightking. Instead, Lu Yin was focused on where he had seen that odd flower, as he had to take that plant away. Even though it was impossible to comprehend anything about s.p.a.ce by studying a flower, the plant had managed to trigger some of his sealed memories.

Unexpectedly, the burst of stellular energy that the Second Nightking unleashed was not able to force back the tree that had appeared from half of Leaf King’s body. Instead, the entire hidden world started to churn and writhe while all the countless plants in it started to converge and merge. Trees shot up from the ground, soaring high into the sky, surrounding the Second Nightking. They started to merge together, sealing the Second Nightking within a ma.s.sive trunk.

Lu Yin's expression suddenly changed. What kind of tree was this?

There was a bang, and all of the plants in Shamrock Enterprise’s hidden world vanished. All that remained was a single, truly enormous tree that had sealed the Second Nightking. The loud roar of the Second Nightking could be heard from within the tree’s trunk, but the man was unable to break free.

Lu Yin could not believe what he was seeing. What kind of tree could possibly trap the Second Nightking? Was this thing Leaf King's final trump card?

Behind him, s.p.a.ce twisted, and Leaf King emerged, his face pale. His eyes were locked onto Lu Yin, and the man’s originally handsome face was warped by open hatred. Determination filled his eyes.

Lu Yin turned around to look at Leaf King. "What the h.e.l.l are you?"

Leaf King grinned. "Boy, you’re too full of yourself. I didn't want to tear myself apart because of you, but did you actually think that the Second Nightking’s presence would allow you to do whatever you wanted? You wanted to know what creation referred to when talking about me. This is creation! Do you see it now?"

Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "This isn’t your strength."

"Hahahaha, it doesn't need to be my strength! The Second Nightking is trapped, and I can kill you before he escapes. While I might not understand how you can control that man, your death will remove him as well. He won’t make any trouble for me, but will instead thank me," Leaf King shouted as he moved forward with a raised fist that he threw at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin struck out as well: Hollow Palm.

Boom!

The shockwave shattered the sky, and both men retreated at the same time.

Leaf King was shocked. "So strong?"

Lu Yin was actually even more stunned by the results of the exchange than Leaf King. Not only did Leaf King have enough physical strength to go up against Lu Yin’s Hollow Palm, but the man had also ignored the spiritual force and domain aspects of the attack. How was that even possible?

After Lu Yin broke through to the Envoy realm, even if he had sealed off three of his stellular energy vortices, his body had been strengthened and transformed by the stellular energy that he had absorbed when forming the additional vortices. This caused his physical strength to be comparable to an Envoy’s with a power level of over 800,000. When it came to techniques that relied on physical might, such as the Overlaying Stacks Path, Lu Yin had seen his combat strength absolutely skyrocket. He had never expected to not have even the slightest edge over Leaf King when it came to pure strength.

Lu Yin absolutely could not underestimate Leaf King. He had once managed to escape from even Liu Huang’s sword, and he had just trapped the Second Nightking as well.

This thought caused Lu Yin to raise his hand and continue attacking with another Hollow Palm. This time, he released the most powerful attack he was capable of with a Hollow Palm: 1,000 Stacks Hollow Palm.

Leaf King aggressively charged at Lu Yin, allowing the Hollow Palm to land on him. The man was slowed, but completely uninjured.

Lu Yin had already fought countless battles, and from his experience and understanding, Leaf King's true strength should be about the same as his. However, the man was somehow able to endure his Hollow Palms without a problem. This far exceeded Lu Yin’s expectations. There was something strange about this man’s body.

"So what if you’ve trapped the Second Nightking? I can still just leave!" Lu Yin shouted.

Leaf King just sneered. "Unless you can actually destroy this hidden world, you can forget about leaving!"

The man then growled and waved a hand. “Starswitched Leaf.”

Strange fluctuations swept across Lu Yin's body, and all of the stellular energy that he had released was transformed into drifting leaves.

This was a battle technique that Lu Yin had seen Little Leaf King use in both the Mountain and Seas Zone and during ZENITH. It was able to transform an opponent's star energy into harmless drifting leaves. It had amazed Lu Yin when he first saw it, and at this moment, it had happened again. But this time, Leaf King had transformed stellular energy into drifting leaves.

Envoys had the unique consideration of having to be cautious about how much energy they used during a battle. Even if they used a curio, they risked drawing the attention of the true universe, and now, Lu Yin was being further restricted by Leaf King's Starswitched Leaf.

Lu Yin raised a foot and took a step forward. However, the moment Leaf King approached him, Lu Yin’s body trembled, and he took a step backwards.

Leaf King lashed out with a punch that shattered the void. His attack should have landed on Lu Yin, but it had somehow missed. How?

Lu Yin's pupils transformed into runes, and he used the Knowing realm of Truesight to weaken Leaf King.

Leaf King's expression drastically changed, and a chill struck his chest when he saw Lu Yin release another palm strike. The older man’s eyes flickered, and suddenly, not only did Lu Yin’s attack miss, but he found that his body had been sent flying without any visible explanation.

"Secret technique Banishment?" Lu Yin stared at Leaf King in disbelief. "Are you from the Hall of Honor?"

Leaf King sneered. "You don't need to know about that. You’re going to die today! There’s an important difference between you and me."

Even as the man spoke, he swept his hands out to the sides. He suddenly shouted and used Starswitched Leaf again, and at the same time, a golden meteor appeared and crashed down upon Lu Yin.

Lu Yin was beyond startled. How was this possible? This was the Hui family’s golden meteor technique! Not only did Leaf King know the Hall of Honor’s secret technique Banishment, but he also apparently knew the Hui family’s inherited battle technique!? How did any of this make any sense?

Lu Yin could not understand anything about Leaf King at this moment.

One after another, golden meteors rained down upon Lu Yin. Each and every single one of them had the strength of an attack from an Envoy with a power level of 800,000. This was a trump card that Leaf King had spent countless years preparing. It was second only to what he had used to trap the Second Nightking. Forget Lu Yin—even if dozens of Envoys invaded Shamrock Enterprise’s hidden world at the same time, this meteor shower would destroy them all.

Lu Yin’s only option upon facing such a powerful attack was to rely on the Knowing realm of Truesight to negate the damage.

Leaf King sneered as he watched Lu Yin’s actions. Then, to Lu Yin’s increasing disbelief, Leaf King’s own pupils transformed into runes. "Did you think that you were the only one to train in Truesight? I have as well!”

As he stared at Lu Yin, Lu Yin felt himself weakening.

Lu Yin was horrified. He had no time to consider why Leaf King knew Truesight, and he quickly retreated to evade the golden meteors.

Each meteor that fell caused the entire hidden world to tremble. It was as though the apocalypse had arrived.

There were a tremendous number of people living in Shamrock Enterprise’s hidden world, and they had already started panicking when all of the plants in the hidden world had been absorbed into the ma.s.sive tree, and the arrival of the golden meteors left them all trembling with fear, certain that they were about to die.

Balsam’s face was pale as she watched from a distance. Leaf King had finally displayed his true power.

No one in the entire universe understood Leaf King’s power, not even the Hall of Honor. Only she, Balsam, had gotten a glimpse of the man’s strength, and she had willingly surrendered to him after that.

The idea that Leaf King could actually trap the Second Nightking would be inconceivable to anyone else, but Balsam had been confident that Leaf King was capable of doing it. In this hidden world, Leaf King was invincible.

Lu Yin had severely underestimated Leaf King. Lu Yin had a.s.sumed that it would not be overly difficult to defeat Leaf King, and the idea that Leaf King could actually trap the Second Nightking had never even been considered, let alone a difficult battle. This was Lu Yin’s first true battle after becoming an Envoy, and so he did not want to rely on any of his items.

Leaf King was incredibly powerful, and this was Lu Yin’s first true challenge after becoming an Envoy.

Lu Yin had certainly underestimated Leaf King, but Leaf King had also underestimated Lu Yin.

He had thought that breaking Lu Yin’s Truesight would be enough to defeat the young man with the golden meteors, or at the very least, that Lu Yin would be forced to reveal some of his trump cards, such as his power vessels. Leaf King had never expected Lu Yin to be able to evade the countless meteors with nothing more than a movement technique.

The golden meteors were not true meteors, and Lu Yin easily avoided all of them. Each meteor had a power level of 800,000, which meant that each one was comparable to an all-out attack from a four-tribulation Envoy. How was he dodging these attacks so casually?

Regardless, Lu Yin was accomplishing just that, and he looked like he was not being pressured at all.

Leaf King had no choice but to stop using the golden meteors. He stared at Lu Yin intently for a moment. "Where did you learn that movement technique? I’ve never seen you use it before."

Lu Yin lifted his head high. "There are many things that you haven’t seen before. I’ll be honest, I really underestimated you, but it all ends now. I’m becoming very interested in your secrets."

Lu Yin’s feet then started to step back incredibly quickly, and he moved closer to Leaf King at an astonishing speed while also surrounded by a region of chaotic s.p.a.ce. Leaf King’s own attack was thus foiled, and Lu Yin even manifested the Immovable Heavenly King Elephant to increase the power of his own attack ten times over as he struck out with yet another palm strike.

Leaf King reacted by using Starswitched Leaf yet again. Facing the man made Lu Yin feel like he was still an Enlighter facing an Envoy. It made things difficult, but certainly not impossible.

Leaf King gritted his teeth.

"It all ends now? Then just try to take them!" He shouted as he raised a hand to block Lu Yin's attack.

Boom!

The shockwave rocked the hidden world, and one of the three leaves of the shamrock was ripped apart in the tropical forest outside the Honor Zone.

Everyone felt their brain being jostled by the shockwave, and everyone weaker than an Enlighter instantly lost consciousness. Some even died.

Lu Yin and Leaf King each shook their hands as they retreated simultaneously.

Lu Yin's pupils shrank sharply. This was impossible! His strength had just increased tenfold! No one with a power level of less than a million should be able to stand up to his physical strength at this moment, unless they were a corpse king that had used the Corpse King Transformation.

Leaf King shouted, "Everyone claims that Lu Yin has no peer when it comes to physical strength. It turns out that it’s true! You’re the only person to even manage to match up to me throughout all these years!"

Both men were amazed by their opponent’s strength, and neither could understand how the other possessed such incredible might.

"Who the h.e.l.l are you?" Lu Yin yelled. Suddenly, his body disappeared. He instantly appeared further back by using the Teleportation Array. The next moment, 38,000 stars appeared and converged to form the Celestial Sword Technique, and at the same time, Lu Yin’s pupils transformed into runes as he tried to erase some of Leaf King’s runes.

Leaf King responded by raising his hand and using Banishment, but he did not target Lu Yin, but rather the Celestial Sword. Even though Lu Yin was using the Celestial Sword Technique to execute the Fourteenth Sword, he still ended up accomplishing nothing. Leaf King’s mastery of Banishment far surpa.s.sed what Shang Qing and the others had achieved.

Lu Yin opened his hand, and the Celestial Sword briefly reverted back into stars that surrounded him before he quickly lashed out with a Cosmic Palm.

Leaf King's pupils also transformed into runes. He looked into Lu Yin's eyes, and they each tried to weaken the other. Palms struck out in unison, dozens of attacks flickering out every moment, but neither was able to do anything to the other.

Suddenly, Lu Yin felt a burst of pain. Up until now, he had not felt any pain regardless of the power of the attacks that had struck him. A certain thought occurred to him. "You can even amplify the five senses?"

Amplifying the five senses was another of the Hall of Honor’s secret techniques. Since Leaf King was able to use Banishment, it also made sense that he could amplify the five senses as well.
