Star Odyssey Chapter 1434

Chapter 1437: Zenith

Bai Shaohong lifted his head high. He was very, very happy that Long Qi had turned out to be a trespasser, as it meant that his marriage to Long Xi did not count.

Shang Qing looked at Lu Yin. “You aren’t leaving?”

Lu Yin casually replied, “I can leave whenever I want, so there’s no rush.”

Wang Su arched a brow as she looked at Lu Yin. “If you don’t leave right now, then you can forget about ever leaving.”

She then lifted a hand and opened it, pointing all five fingers towards Lu Yin. He recognized this move as a technique that had deeply impressed him before. Four Arts: Pearl was able to seal any technique or ability that a person possessed.

Lu Yin disappeared in a flash and attacked Wang Su with a Vacuum Palm.

Wang Su quickly dodged aside, but Lu Yin was much stronger than he had been during ZENITH, and his cultivation had also risen greatly. He had strengthened his body with dragon saliva, and he had even opened his lower meridian point. As such, his Vacuum Palm had become both faster and stronger, and it far surpassed what Wang Yi had endured during ZENITH. That level of strength would not have been able to pierce through the body of one of Xia Shenfei’s clones.

Wang Su wanted to avoid Lu Yin’s attack, but she was a little too slow. The palm slammed into her shoulder, and it knocked her several meters back. A palm print appeared on her shoulder.

Wang Su was surprised, especially since she was no longer able to fully lift her arm. This had been a very powerful attack.

Yun Tingting wanted to sneak attack Lu Yin, but she was hit by another Vacuum Palm. She was also not as lucky as Wang Su, and Yun Tingting spat out blood as her body smashed into a wall.

Bai Shaohong pointed out with a finger to unleash Void Rip.

Lu Yin stared at Bai Shaohong. “You’re really an eyesore. You absolutely deserve to be beaten.”

Lu Yin raised his hand, and Vacuum Palms shot out without end.

Lu Yin’s battle force had reached ten lines, and the increased power that it gave his Vacuum Palms left Shang Qing and the others speechless. If Lu Yin had possessed such strength during ZENITH, then he might not have even needed to use the God of Death Transformation in his fight against Shang Qing.

At this moment, Lu Yin was still in a normal condition, but his level of strength was comparable to Shang Qing’s. This meant that Lu Yin was as powerful as a Junior Progenitor because after revealing the full power of his Tri-Yang Technique, Shang Qing had been able to hold down a Junior Progenitor all on his own.

The Vacuum Palm had been reinforced with the golden battle force, and when that power was amplified by Lu Yin’s physical strength, not only was it able to break through Bai Shaohong’s Void Rip, but it also continued on towards Bai Shaohong and Long Tian, who were nearby.

Bai Shaohong’s eyes grew cold. “What arrogance.”

As he spoke, he raised a hand and struck out with a palm of his own: Gap Between Heaven and Human.

Boom!

The violent collision sent out a wave of ripples. Bai Shaohong was an Enlighter who had already opened his middle meridian point, overwhelming Lu Yin in both cultivation and physical strength. However, Lu Yin’s physical power had been reinforced by golden battle force, so his Vacuum Palm was simply too powerful, and it actually overpowered Bai Shaohong’s attack.

Bai Shaohong could not believe this result; had he actually been overpowered? How could this have happened?!

Long Tian disappeared, and he raced towards Lu Yin with the Roving White Dragon. A spear shot out, and the attack pierced through the void.

Lu Yin’s eyes were locked onto the speartip. At this moment, the images that he had witnessed from the Sword Monument reappeared in his mind, and his brain began to race. His hand shot up and shifted the speartip by a tiny bit while simultaneously striking the weakest part of the spear with a palm. Long Tian nearly lost his grip on the spear, and he felt the same shock that had just assaulted Bai Shaohong. Long Tian instantly used the White Dragon’s Transformation, causing his physical might to rise as he fiercely attacked Lu Yin.

Lu Yin suddenly disappeared. He had used the Teleportation Formation.

Long Tian stabbed the air with his spear, and his body twisted. He was still using the Roving White Dragon. His mastery of the technique allowed him to briefly enter the true universe, and he completely vanished.

Nearby, Bai Shaohong also stepped into the true universe by utilizing his unparalleled strength.

This was the strength of the Junior Progenitors. Even if Shang Qing or Lu Yin were strong enough to stand on the same level as the Junior Progenitors, the two were still inferior when it came to overall ability.

The tip of the spear stabbed at Lu Yin from an invisible location. He sensed the danger and evaded, but his arm was still torn, and blood dripped out. He felt an impending crisis, and an astral chessboard appeared beneath his feet, causing him to move with the secret technique.

Lu Yin had intended to move to a location that was not close to anyone, but he suddenly realized that he had moved in the wrong direction. He instantly thought of Xia Shenfei, as the Junior Progenitor had already demonstrated a similar ability, and he continued to cause Lu Yin to make mistakes.

Wang Su seemed to be cooperating with Xia Shenfei, and the moment Lu Yin reappeared, he was met by Four Arts: Pearl.

Both Bai Shaohong and Long Tian appeared, charging at Lu Yin at the same time. Fortunately, at the same time, the summoned Progenitor Chen with the knife and Progenitor Hui’s As If Closed sourcebox array appeared. One slashed at Bai Shaohong’s back while the other trapped Long Tian to give Lu Yin a moment to recover.

Lu Yin looked over at Shang Qing. “Do you want to target the Junior Progenitors with me? It’ll be faster and easier.”

“Alright,” Shang Qing agreed. The illusory Progenitor Chen immediately merged with the body of the knife wielding clone of Progenitor Chen. At this moment, the summoned Progenitor Chen’s strength became far higher than before, and it forced Bai Shaohong to retreat.

Shang Qing had summoned Progenitor Chen. No matter how strong Bai Shaohong might be, he would never be able to compare to Progenitor Chen within the same cultivation realm. If not for the fact that Bai Shaohong was cautious and the summoned Progenitor had no intelligence, Bai Shaohong might not have even been able to put up a fight.

This was the terrifying part of the Tri-Yang Technique; even if Shang Qing’s cultivation only rose by a small amount, the strength of his summoned Progenitor Chen and Progenitor Hui would rise by a terrifying amount.

Wang Yi and Wu Taibai had both experienced what it felt like to face off against the Progenitor.

Although the summoned Progenitor Chen and Progenitor Hui were able to stop Bai Shaohong and Long Tian, Wang Su had not been stopped.

She confronted Lu Yin. With a movement of her fingers, the void cracked open. Four black ropes took form from the void, and they bound Lu Yin’s hands and feet. This was the Wang Secret Art: Confinement.

“I already told you that there’s no escape.” Wang Su did not immediately attack, but her attitude completely changed. Invisible fluctuations radiated out from her in all directions.

Bai Shaohong was closest to her, and his expression instantly changed. “Stop!”

But his words were useless. The invisible waves continued to spread out from Wang Su in all directions, and they enveloped everyone.

Shang Qing was the only one present who felt danger at this moment, and the summoned Progenitor Hui appeared to move Shang Qing away.

Shang Qing frowned as he saw the ripples roll over everyone. What was going on?

Wang Su lifted her head. At this moment, she looked like a goddess who reigned above the nine heavens. She gave off an image of invincibility and caused fear to sprout in everyone’s heart.

At this moment, even Bai Shaohong, Long Tian, and Xia Shenfei had the conscious desire to worship the young woman. They were still unable to take any action against her.

The same was also true of Lu Yin. He had been bound by the four black ropes and rendered immobile. He could not break free. However, even more importantly, he did not want to break free. He watched as Wang Su slowly walked closer, and the urge to kneel filled Lu Yin’s heart.

This was the Wang Secret Art: Supremacy, and the secret technique elevated the user in the eyes of those observing them, giving everyone the desire to worship the user of the secret technique.

In a battle, even the slightest bit of hesitation could be enough to turn the tides. Thus, the ability to make an opponent to bow their head in submission was something that even Bai Shaohong and other Junior Progenitors were terrified of.

Wang Su approached Lu Yin one step at a time. She had used Supremacy, so she was not afraid of him escaping. After all, at this moment, he did not even possess the desire to escape. As far as Wang Su was concerned, at this moment, Lu Yin only wanted to prostrate himself and submit to her. This was the source of Wang Su’s self-confidence. This was the strength of the Wang family’s Junior Progenitor.

Lu Yin watched as Wang Su approached. He watched as she lifted a hand to grab him. This was the same scene that he had seen before, though at that time, it had been Xia Shenfei reaching for Lu Yin, and at this moment, it was Wang Su.

“Do all of you Junior Progenitors feel like you’re superior and above all others?” Lu Yin’s eyes suddenly changed as he opened his mouth.

Wang Su’s expression changed drastically; this was impossible.

Lu Yin growled and snapped the ropes. He then grabbed at Wang Su, using the exact same motion that Xia Shenfei had used before.

Wang Su stared into Lu Yin’s eyes, and her pupils somehow changed and Lu Yin felt a jolt to his brain as he was attacked by spiritual force. His eyes went wide from the shock, and he resisted the attack.

There was an explosion, and the void between Wang Su and Lu Yin erupted. The two briefly attacked the other with spiritual force and then simultaneously retreated. As they stepped back, the effects of Supremacy also disappeared.

At this instance, a ball appeared between Wang Su and Lu Yin. When Lu Yin saw it, he silently cursed and immediately fled.

Xia Shenfei also saw the ball. “RUN!”

There was a bang, and Wang Su was blasted by a violent eruption of spiritual force. This was Yao Xuan’s attack, Force Explosion.

He had taken advantage of the fight between Wang Su and Lu Yin’s, only attacking at the exact moment that the secret technique had ended. The results were quite good, as Wang Su had been injured badly enough for blood to leak out from her mouth.

In addition to Xia Shenfei, another Junior Progenitor had also been injured.

Lu Yin had also been shaken by the explosion, and he was stunned for a moment. Yao Xuan, that idiot! He must have done that on purpose.

Xia Shenfei looked at Wang Su’s injury. He then licked his lips and dryly asked, “Has anyone ever told you that you shouldn’t offend a woman?”

Many people turned to look at Wang Su out of reflex.

She quietly stood there in place. Her face looked calm, but her head was bowed, and she started to give off a strange aura.

The moment that Bai Shaohong and Long Tian saw Wang Su in this state, they no longer took any actions at all. Xia Shenfei actually looked at Lu Yin in a sympathetic manner before looking at Yao Xuan and the others. “The actual reason why Junior Progenitors are given such a title is because there is a fundamental difference between us and you. This is something that only we were aware of, but now, you’ll get to see it for yourselves.”

The void trembled after he finished speaking. Wang Su’s head rose. Her body was filled with so much star energy that it actually became visible to the naked eye. It formed a beam that shot high into the sky, and an invisible pressure fell upon the surrounding area. After that, a phantom appeared behind Wang Su that gradually became more and more clear.

Lu Yin and the others grew somber. From the moment that Wang Su had raised her head, a bad premonition had filled all of their hearts. They had realized that the treatment that the Junior Progenitors received in the Perennial World was simply too favorable. They were called Junior Progenitors as a way of indicating that they were future Progenitors still in their youth. Such a realm was an impossible mystery in the Fifth Mainland. Even though Lu Yin had become the champion of ZENITH, he had never received such biased treatment despite having a much greater chance of becoming a Progenitor when compared to his peers.

In the Perennial World, each Junior Progenitor not only became a member of Humility’s Gate, but they were also automatically given the role of an officer in the organization. On top of that, they would each be given a Junior Progenitor Planet as well as resources from the entire universe. This preferential treatment was extremely out of the ordinary.

Thus far, despite the impressive strength that Bai Shaohong and the others had revealed that placed them far above their peers, none of them had shown anything that could be considered worthy of the title “Junior Progenitor.” However, the moment Wang Su raised her head, revealing the phantom behind her, the title “Junior Progenitor” rang out in the minds of Lu Yin and the others. Xia Shenfei’s words also echoed in their minds; they were about to experience the difference between a Junior Progenitor and the others of the same generation.

Lu Yin silently threw out a Vacuum Palm. It shot through the air towards Wang Su. Lu Yin did not care about titles and such. He was fully confident that his strength had reached the pinnacle of his generation. Even if the Junior Progenitors still had some hidden cards, Lu Yin believed that he was on the same level as them. Besides, was it even possible to avoid a fight? Thus, he had to fight.

The Vacuum Palm shot through the air, aimed straight at Wang Su’s eyes. She lifted a hand and slapped at Lu Yin’s attack.

The deafening bang exploded in everyone’s ears, and the powerful shockwave blasted the ground flat.

Wang Su had directly received Lu Yin’s Vacuum Palm.

Lu Yin was surprised. His physical strength and cultivation had greatly improved after he had arrived in the Perennial World, and when those improvements were combined with his ten lined battle force, his Vacuum Palms should have been able to severely injure someone at Wang Yi’s strength. Previously, Wang Su had been knocked back by a single Vacuum Palm, but Lu Yin’s attack had suddenly become useless.
