Star Odyssey Chapter 3240: Thumbs Up

Chapter 3240: Thumbs Up

There was a simple way to prove whether the Pridebeast had some sort of connection to Earth.

Lu Yin gave the ape a thumbs up.

The Pridebeast froze, its expression strange. What did the human mean? Was he complimenting the ape?

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed as he reversed the gesture, and then gave two thumbs down to the Pridebeast.

The ape’s jaw dropped, and its eyes blazed red with fury. It released a roar of utter rage. The human was insulting it!

Lu Yin let out a breath. The creature definitely had some sort of connection to Earth.

Enraged, the Pridebeast charged at Lu Yin while swinging its fists. s.p.a.ce shattered, and the entire universe seemed to sway from the blows.

While Lu Yin’s energy was being drained, the Pridebeast and the Megalith were both unaffected, and actually, neither was Lu Yin.

While jumping ten times might use up the energy of jumping a hundred times, if Lu Yin could jump a thousand, or tens of thousands of times, there basically would be no effect.

Bang!

Two back-to-back crashes sent shockwaves ripping through the Hollow and created ripples that shattered layers of s.p.a.ce as if they were the surface of a lake.

Lu Yin traded two punches with the Pridebeast and forced it back. Then, with a quick step, he appeared right in front of the Pridebeast with his arm raised high. “Let’s see how well you can take a beating.”

A single blow knocked the Pridebeast down with one blow, and its head started to swell.

Further below, the Megalith was no longer trying to charge at Lu Yin. Instead, it was trying to drain his energy over time.

Lu Yin was not going to give the beast the time that it wanted. He next appeared directly on the Megalith's back and punched it right in the middle, causing the Megalith to howl in pain as its body curled and twisted wildly.

Lu Yin refused to let up, and he threw punch after punch. The Megalith frantically tried to flee, but it could not break free from Lu Yin. It almost crashed into Lu Yuan and the others, who all dodged, and then it slammed into the Pridebeast, who learned its lesson and quickly fled.

Punch by punch, Lu Yin pushed the Megalith so far that it started spitting out stomach acid. Its howls grew weaker, and its once-smooth back had been torn open. The unique force that it used to condense its strength had been shattered, and it was growing weaker.

When the Pridebeast saw that the Megalith was about to be defeated, it tore the void open in order to make its escape.

Lu Yin looked over. Trying to flee?

Before Lu Yin could do a thing, a Champions’ Stage crashed into the Pridebeast from the side, sending it flying.

The Pridebeast shot a vicious glare at Lu Yuan.

The old man lifted his head and released the aura of an Ortuser with a cold smirk. "Little beast, do you still want to try your luck with me?"

The Pridebeast grew wary. This human possessed a level of power that scared the ape, which was why it did not dare to face Lu Yuan directly. It hurried into the distance, only for a shadow to fall over it. Turning around, the Pridebeast saw the Megalith’s ma.s.sive form crashing down upon it. With no time to dodge, the Pridebeast was struck, and it coughed up blood as two giant creatures tumbled away in a tangle. Ꞧ

Lu Yin snorted disdainfully before chasing after them. He was determined to conquer the two beasts; they would either follow him or die. There were no other choices.

Humans had enslaved astral beasts during the Heavens Sect era, which had not been fair to the beasts. Lu Yin had no intention of doing anything to the astral beasts, such as Ancestor Tortoise. If the tortoise did not want to stay, Lu Yin would not force it. The same was also true for the the Divine Eagle and Python Ancestor.

As for the jiao, that beast had previously been an enemy.

At the moment, the Pridebeast was also an enemy, as it was the tribulation sent to stop Lu Yin from transforming Infinity into a Progenitor's world.

As for the Megalith, it did not even belong to their megaverse. Its Megalith Poison had caused humanity to suffer terrible losses, which was why Lu Yin felt no guilt for fighting it.

Heavy breathing could be heard, and it grew increasingly ragged.

The Pridebeast clutched its arm, which had been broken, while the Megalith was barely able to move, due to all the damage that it had suffered.

Lu Yin slowly approached them.

The beasts’ expressions shifted from initially wariness and dread, to outright fear. They stared as Lu Yin drew closer.

The closer Lu Yin got, the more the two beasts pulled back.

Despite their enormous size, the creatures looked quite pitiful at this moment.

Far away, Lu Yuan suddenly remembered the Divine Eagle and Python Ancestor, which had been their master's pets. Oh, there was also the Arkfish. That fish was particularly pathetic.

Lu Yin had already forced the jiao into submission, and if he managed to tame the Megalith and the Pridebeast, he would be nearly on par with the Origin Progenitor.

The jiao looked fierce, but it was the first to escape when there was danger, just like the Arkfish. The two made for quite the pair.

The two beasts that Lu Yin was currently facing were certainly no weaker than the Divine Eagle or the Python Ancestor.

The more that Lu Yuan watched, the more he felt that Lu Yin bore a resemblance to the Origin Progenitor.

Did reincarnation really exist? Humanity always seems to rise back from the ashes. Their master had once led humanity to their greatest peak, and in the present, Little Seven was sure to accomplish the same thing.

Facing the two behemoths, Lu Yin slowly raised his fist. "Again."

The Megalith instinctively retreated, letting out a whimper of pain as its tail drooped.

The Pridebeast, with a human-like expression on its face, took half a step back. It stared at Lu Yin, clearly unwilling and helpless. After a moment, it raised its hand and gave Lu Yin a thumbs-up.

Lu Yin snorted coldly. "Don't try that with me. You can either follow me or be beaten to death. Choose one."

The Pridebeast bared its teeth. It instinctively wanted to turn its thumb the other way, but with Lu Yin's fierce gaze focused on it, the ape did not dare to do so.

It scratched its head, its eyes darting about, and then it gave Lu Yin what it believed to be a friendly smile, showing a ma.s.sive set of white teeth.

Because of its incredible size, those white teeth practically lit up the universe. Hongyan Mavis and the others watched the display with odd expressions.

The Megalith's eyes shifted. It saw what the Pridebeast did, and it copied the gesture. The Megalith’s mouth curved upwards to form a grin that exposed even larger white teeth.

The Pridebeast was speechless and wanted to kick Megalith. Was it incapable of even the slightest bit of originality?

In a vast, desolate universe, where survival was the top priority, Lu Yin’s killing intent vanished because of the two enormous creatures.

Seeing their big, white teeth, he found himself unable to strike them down.

When the Pridebeast sensed that Lu Yin’s bloodl.u.s.t was fading away, its smile grew even brighter. It repeatedly gave the human a thumbs-up, its thumb poking the void and creating ripples. It was showing Lu Yin its approval.

The Megalith could also sense Lu Yin’s changing att.i.tude. Since it had no hands or feet, it lifted its tail, and much to everyone’s shock, the tail bent in half to form what looked like a thumbs-up. The Megalith then started tapping on the void as well while staring at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin rolled his eyes.

The Pridebeast watched the Megalith in amazement. The other guy was not as dumb as it seemed.

The Pridebeast kept giving Lu Yin a thumbs-up while slowly backing away. It was clearly trying to escape.

The Megalith copied the Pridebeast’s actions exactly, giving Lu Yin a thumbs-up while retreating.

Unexpectedly, the Pridebeast stepped on the Megalith, but the whale’s body was too slippery, which caused the Pridebeast to slip and fall. The ape’s trip hurt the Megalith, which then roared angrily as it glared at the Pridebeast.

The Pridebeast quickly put its finger to its lips and shushed the Megalith, trying to get the other beast to be quiet.

The two astral beasts then slowly turned to look at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin smiled at them. "Let’s keep going."

He raised a fist and threw a punch at both the Megalith and the Pridebeast.

The Pridebeast let out a roar of frustration, and it used its only functioning arm to punch back at Lu Yin. The Megalith also retaliated, and it did so by charging straight forward.

In the distance, Lu Yuan shook his head. "Those two monsters won’t escape."

Hongyan Mavis said in a bitter tone, "I’ve never seen the Pridebeast like this."

"That's because you never pushed it to its limit," Garan Zhiluo retorted.

Hongyan Mavis replied, "Whenever I fought it, we only used raw strength. I couldn’t win, so I never pushed it to its limit. If I had used my other abilities, it would have never been my match."

"If you had used your other abilities, why would you have bothered fighting it?" Garan Zhiluo retorted.

Hongyan Mavis frowned and turned to look directly at Garan Zhiluo. "Are you mocking me, Flora?"

Lu Yuan interjected, "She's not mocking just you, she makes fun of everyone. Don't you remember her personality? The Sixth Mainland has never had good relations with any of the other Mainlands."

Hongyan Mavis thought back and then nodded in agreement.

Garan Zhiluo was not at all offended.

The sounds of collisions and attacks landing frequently echoed in the distance. Even when working together, the Pridebeast and the Megalith were unable to overpower Lu Yin. Given their current state, they could not even fight back. Escape was impossible, and eventually, they stopped resisting altogether. It almost seemed as if they had given up.

The Pridebeast looked particularly defeated. It lay on its back in outer s.p.a.ce, constantly giving Lu Yin a thumbs-up.

Lu Yin stood above the beast and asked, "Can you talk? Try to speak like me."

The Pridebeast simply shook its head.

Lu Yin was satisfied. "That’s even better. If you could talk, I wouldn’t want to take you along."

The Pridebeast opened its mouth and let out a sigh.

Lu Yin turned to look at the Megalith, which lay in s.p.a.ce like a stranded fish. Its tail would occasionally flick a bit, but it was otherwise unable to move.

As expected, the two behemoths had finally been subdued.

Lu Yin pointed to his shoulder with one hand and below his feet with the other.

The Pridebeast struggled to sit up while shrinking its size. The Megalith also started to shrink, and it did so even faster before quickly making its way onto Lu Yin’s shoulder.

Lu Yin looked at it.

The whale’s tail wagged slightly, and it gave off a relaxed vibe.

The Pridebeast gritted its teeth and rushed over, kicking the Megalith off of Lu Yin’s shoulder.

The Megalith grew furious, and it charged back at the Pridebeast.

Lu Yin grabbed both of the beasts by the scruff of their necks. After they had reduced their size, they were small enough for him to easily grab.

"Keep fighting, and I'll beat both of you again."

Both the Pridebeast and Megalith flashed big white teeth at Lu Yin while giving him a thumbs-up.

Lu Yin sighed. He could not help but remember the Divine Eagle’s majestic aura and Python Ancestor’s domineering presence. These two could not compare at all.

Lu Yuan and the others moved closer.

"Congratulations, Little Seven, on gaining two guardian beasts for the Heavens Sect," Lu Yuan said with a smile.

Garan Zhiluo examined the Megalith and the Pridebeast with open curiosity. "The Megalith’s energy-devouring ability is a bit problematic."

Lu Yin slapped the Megalith. "Don't tell me that you can’t control that ability. If you can't, I won't take you with me."

The Megalith grinned and bared its white teeth. It shook its body in a manner that clearly indicated that it was unable to control the ability.

The Pridebeast popped out from behind, and it b.u.mped the Megalith away before giving Lu Yin a thumbs-up while pointing at the Megalith. The ape was trying to communicate something.

The Megalith was furious, and it wished that it could smack the Pridebeast.

A dangerous glint appeared in Lu Yin’s eyes, and he started to release a hint of bloodl.u.s.t. "You seem to have misunderstood me. If I can’t take you with me, then I’ll just have to kill you."

The Megalith froze for a moment, and then quickly stopped devouring the surrounding energy.

In the past, anytime that anyone had found the Megalith, the beast had been sleeping, all the while devouring whatever energy was nearby. Even Ancient G.o.d had believed that the beast could not control its ability.

While the Pridebeast was different, the two beasts were quite similar, to a certain extent.

One was a beast from another megaverse, where it possessed the greatest physical strength, while the other embodied the greatest physical strength of the current megaverse.

The Pridebeast had sensed that the Megalith could control its energy-devouring ability.

The price, however, was that the Megalith’s entire body started to swell up in a manner that left it unable to show its big white teeth anymore.
