Star Odyssey Chapter 832: Mojiang Family's Spear Shadows

Chapter 832: Mojiang Family’s Spear Shadows

Quite a few people left the Great Eastern Alliance, all of them heading towards Endless Weave. Each weave had to send at least two Hunters, five Cruisers, and twenty Explorers. This meant that, from the seventy two weaves of the Outerverse, at least 100 Hunters had moved out to reinforce Endless Weave’s border, which was a terrifying army.

And that wasn’t even mentioning the Enlighters that were also moving over, as well as those few existences beyond the Enlighter realm. The Outerverse had mobilized a strength that could seemingly sweep across everything.

Still, Lu Yin was not optimistic about their chances, and that was because they were facing the Sixth Mainland. Even if they were just going to fight against one realm, that was still a terrifying opponent.

Earlier, Elder Lohar had specially called Lu Yin to enquire about the details concerning the Sixth Mainland’s Bloodburn Realm. Lu Yin had naturally told the elder everything that he had learned, especially the information that he had gathered about the realm’s three great families.

The Hall of Honor soon released an announcement describing the Sixth Mainland’s combat methods according to Lu Yin’s information. Countless people among the reinforcements burst into a commotion, as they had finally learned that the enemies they were facing were not only from the Technocracy, but also possibly from the Sixth Mainland.

As for the Sixth Mainland, the Hall of Honor did not give any further information, and they only described them with a single sentence: ‘Powerhouses with a power level of one million may appear.”

This information caused many to feel absolutely frightened.

The Neo-Vestige Sect and Millions City received an additional notification that ordered them to be prepared to mobilize their full forces at any moment.

This was directed towards that Arrow Mountain Elder, and it included the three inherited arrows as well as the mobile fortress that Millions City had been built upon.

At this time, the full strength of the entire Outerverse was being mobilized by Yuan Shi.

Lu Yin looked at a star chart. In the past, this region of the universe had been obscured, but now, he was able to clearly observe it.

The Endless Weave was different from Ironblood Weave, as it was not a weave that was entirely devoted to war. Aside from the defenses along the border, there were also a few families and powers based in the weave. For example, Endless Borders had been established in Endless Weave. The Dark Phoenix family was similarly based in Endless Weave, and there was also another existence that n.o.body could disregard: Astral-9.

The Astral Combat Academy was the universe’s most famous training inst.i.tution, and it had nurtured countless experts. Naturally, it contained an inestimable amount of concealed strength.

At this time, Astral-9 also moved, though it had not been conscripted in-name. When dealing with this inst.i.tution that had such a long, established history, even the Hall of Honor would show some respect, and they trusted that Astral-9 would act with their full strength.

Astral-9 was very busy on this day, as its students were all excitedly registering to partic.i.p.ate in the defense of the border.

Astral-9 was located in Endless Weave, so the students were not unfamiliar with the border. Every year, some students would partic.i.p.ate in the border’s defense, and compared to the other academy branches, the number of times that Astral-9’s students partic.i.p.ated in border conflicts was obviously much higher.

In the past, the students only had to be Melders to qualify to join the border defense. However, this time, the academy had put a new rule in place requiring the students to be Limiteers before they could join the battlefield. This, of course, created a great deal of dissatisfaction among the students.

“I want to partic.i.p.ate in the battle! I want to fight for the glory of humanity!” a student shouted in the plaza, only to be suddenly sent flying by a slap from one of the mentors.

“Shut up! We’ve already told you that only Limiteers and those stronger are allowed to go!” the mentor hollered with a fierce expression. His face struck fear into the students’ hearts.

All around the academy, students were discussing the recent turn of events, and nearly a hundred students had gathered in the plaza.

At this moment, a tall and st.u.r.dy man stepped out and announced in a m.u.f.fled voice, “Mentor, I wish to register.”

Quite a few students started murmuring. “It’s Brother Kuang. He wants to fight.”

“Brother Kuang is an Area Master in the Dao of Change, and he’s extremely powerful. This time, he’ll definitely become famous throughout the Outerverse.” Some of the students were envious.

“All the best, Brother Kuang. Bring glory to our Astral-9 and overshadow Lu Yin!” one student called out.

The faces of the surrounding people instantly changed. Lu Yin’s name was one that they were not willing to mention. He had been Astral-10’s student leader, and he had also been a Council of Astral Academy member. Astral-10 had once been their biggest compet.i.tor, but once Lu Yin rose to power, his status had spiraled out of control. Now, he was even the Alliance Leader of the Great Eastern Alliance.

This person was no longer on the same level as these students.

That student’s words caused Brother Kuang’s expression to turn ugly, and he left the plaza without uttering another word.

Without even mentioning Brother Kuang, even the former student leader of Astral-9, Liu Yin, who had already graduated, could not compete with Lu Yin still.

After Brother Kuang left, a few other Limiteers from Astral-9 also registered to join the war efforts.

Suddenly, the crowd roared again, as another person had appeared, though this was someone who should not have been in Astral-9.

It was Chao Zhi, who had partic.i.p.ated in the Astral Combat Tournament and risen like a comet only to ultimately be defeated by Lu Yin.

Despite her loss, n.o.body dared to look down on her, as her power spoke for itself. She definitely surpa.s.sed the average Area Master, and she could even hold her own against the Realm Masters, who were the student leaders of the various academy branches. Back when she had achieved four lined battle force, she had combined it with her battle technique, Wind of Seasons, to produce an extremely terrifying attack.

“Why is she here? Didn’t she graduate?”

“That’s right. Back at the Astral Combat Tournament, anyone who made it into the top thirty two should have pretty much all graduated by now.”

“Senior Liu Yin’s already graduated.”

“Senior Liu Yin’s also always been at the border.”

“And there’s also that Rann. He suddenly appeared in the Astral Combat Tournament, but he’s now staying at the border after graduating.”

…

The students were all buzzing about Chao Zhi’s appearance, and even the mentor was puzzled. “Chao Zhi, why have you returned?”

Chao Zhi’s expression was rather indifferent. “Does Mentor know which Lavazone Lu Yin will be defending?”

The mentor replied, “I heard that he’ll be in the Ironblood Lavazone.”

Chao Zhi nodded. “Student wishes to register through Astral-9. All of its students should be defending the Ironblood Lavazone, right?”

The mentor nodded. “That’s right. You want to register? That’s fine.”

…

“I never thought that Lu Yin would also be stationed in the Ironblood Lavazone. This is going to be quite a show! I heard that Senior Liu Yin is also based in the Ironblood Lavazone.”

“The Ironblood Lavazone is the weakest of the six regions in terms of overall strength. It’s also where they send those without any special connections who don’t have anyone to watch out for them here. Thus, the cultivators who volunteer to join the defenses have almost all been a.s.signed to the Ironblood Lavazone. That place has the highest numbers, but their strength is the weakest.”

“Our Astral-9 has historically always defended the Ironblood Lavazone. This time, we’ll have to show Lu Yin our courage and let him know that, even if his strength surpa.s.ses that of all the students in the Astral Combat Academy, he still can’t beat our pa.s.sion!”

“I heard that Lu Yin has already broken through to the Explorer realm and graduated. What are you guys still competing with him for?” another student mocked.

The rest glanced at each other. That was true. Why did they still have to compare themselves with him?

The mentor watched the students with amus.e.m.e.nt, as each one of them was full of energy. He hoped that they would not die in this war, as the younger generation had to live on.

The Endless Weave’s defensive border was a continuous line from east to west, and the defenders had used the dark lava to form the foundation of the defensive line. All of the cultivators who partic.i.p.ated in the border’s defense lived on these black rocks.

Since the rocks were molten, they constantly released a pungent, sulfuric scent. If given a choice, n.o.body would willingly live in such a place. However, only this dark lava was able to stop the Technocracy’s scouting techniques, making them a necessity in Endless Weave’s border defenses against the Technocracy.

The Hall of Honor had drafted many cultivators from across the entire Outerverse to reinforce the border’s defenses. However, before the new conscripts could arrive, a bitter fight had already broken out.

The Technocracy had launched an all-encompa.s.sing a.s.sault against the border. Countless androids were charging towards the Human Domain’s defenses built on the dark lava, ready to fight the humans.

Each of the border’s six Lavazones had an Enlighter overseeing their region along with many subordinates. They did not merely repel the Technocracy’s efforts to invade, as they also occasionally launched counterattacks.

It didn’t take more than a few days for a fleet carrying cultivators from the Sixth Mainland to arrive at the border. The Technocracy’s efforts to break through the Human Domain’s defenses suddenly stopped when they arrived as a dark figure descended upon the Greatwood Lavazone, carrying a terrifying pressure with them. Countless spear shadows tore through the void and hurtled towards the defenders.

The defensive strength formed by thousands of cultivators in the Greatwood Lavazone continuously converged upon themselves, only to crumble in an instant.Commander Cao of the Greatwood Lavazone, stared at the countless spear shadows in shock, as each one was strong enough to make him quiver. This attack had been unleashed by a powerhouse who greatly surpa.s.sed his own strength, as every one of the spear shadows carried a power level that exceeded 300,000.

If these countless spear shadows were allowed to strike true, then the Greatwood Lavazone would completely vanish in an instant. Both the human defenders and the dark lava would be reduced to cosmic dust.

Countless stared up at the attack in despair.

Just as countless spear shadows were about to strike, time and s.p.a.ce froze. Then, the countless spear shadows gradually transformed into dust. Yuan Shi appeared in outer s.p.a.ce, and he stared solemnly into the distance.

Ancestor Mojiang appeared at the same time and looked at Yuan Shi. “You can’t stop us.”

“Try me,” Yuan Shi replied coldly.

The two disappeared the very next instant.

Even further away, a middle-aged man stepped out from the void. He held a spear as he stared at the Greatwood Lavazone. He was the person who had just launched the spear attack, and he was known as Mojiang Shan. He was a powerhouse who was second only to their ancestor in the Mojiang family. His power level surpa.s.sed 500,000, which meant that he was an Imprinter.

Yuan Shi had been obstructed by Ancestor Mojiang, so Mojiang Shan snorted coldly, clenched his long spear, and stabbed forward again. Countless spear shadows reappeared and shot towards the Greatwood Lavazone.

The same desperate scene from before suddenly took place again.

Yuan Shi’s gaze trembled as he looked at Mojiang Shan.

Mojiang Shan felt something strange happen, and his scalp suddenly turned numb as his countless spear shadows were forcibly halted. They did not continue falling, which left him frightened. Yuan Shi had simply looked over, but that was enough to make him the master of this region of the universe.

Ancestor Mojiang barked, “Attack!”

Mojiang Shan’s eyes flashed, and he casually flung his spear forward. Only one spear shadow manifested this time, but it pierced through the void and split s.p.a.ce into two halves, following which, the dark lava, the entire Greatwood Lavazone, and Commander Cao were all also split in twain.

Mojiang Shan was scared of Yuan Shi, and so he had not attacked the entire Greatwood Lavazone. Instead, he moved to specifically kill Commander Cao.

Commander Cao had been an Enlighter with a power level of more than 200,000, and he had guarded the Greatwood Lavazone for over a thousand years. He had even survived through all of the bitter battles during the war when half of Endless Weave had fallen to the Technocracy. Despite all of that, Commander Cao had died so simply.

Yuan Shi’s gaze turned cold, and he waved a hand, causing a gust of air to sweep out, which forced Ancestor Mojiang to quickly dodge. However, countless androids and weapons from the Technocracy were destroyed in an instance.

Ancestor Mojiang felt that something had changed, and he immediately retreated.

Mojiang Shan also pulled back.

Yuan Shi stood tall in the vacuum of outer s.p.a.ce, but there was a complex expression on his face. With his strength, he could have protected Commander Cao, but that would have exposed his full strength, which would have drawn out even stronger powerhouses from the Sixth Mainland and forced the Fifth Mainland into an even less advantageous position. As such, he had been forced to merely watch on as Commander Cao had perished.

This was tragic. From the moment he had first attained his current power, there had not once been a single moment where he had lost control of the situation. But at this moment, he had only been able to blankly watch on as the people from the Sixth Mainland left the battlefield.

Yuan Shi sighed and looked towards the east. He was not going to have an easy time, though the Innerverse and Neoverse were undoubtedly also going through a tough period. The Sixth Mainland’s desire to conquer them was too strong, and their strength was also too powerful.

Yuan Shi could only trust that the Outerverse would be lucky enough to successfully defend itself during this invasion.

News of the Greatwood Lavazone’s collapse spread, and it astonished the Outerverse.

The Human Domain had been fighting against the Technocracy for countless years, and not once had an entire Lavazone collapsed so quickly. What’s more, even the region’s commander had died. It was rumored that a powerhouse from the Technocracy with a power level of over 500,000 had appeared. The majority of people did not believe this rumor, as a power level of 300,000 or 400,000 was already considered to be the apex of strength.
