Star Odyssey

Chapter 1073: Great Chaos

Nightking Zhenwu snarled, “Release me—I need to kill her! You’re all nothing but bugs! I have the mandate of the heavens behind me, and I’ll get Night’s End, Daybreak soon. I’ve already obtained the Arrow Progenitor’s inheritance, and I’m about to get another Progenitor inheritance from the Astral Tower! Then, I will become a Progenitor and lead the Fifth Mainland up against the Sixth Mainland! My legacy will be unrivaled! Going against me is betraying the Fifth Mainland—all of you must serve me!” 

“Get your dirty paws… away!” Lu Yin lashed out at Nightking Zhenwu’s belly with a powerful kick. Spiritual force formed a barrier in front of him to block the kick, but Lu Yin easily shattered it. This kick had the power of One Hundred Fifty Stacks, which was not something that spiritual force could stop.

Nightking Zhenwu was sent flying by the kick, and it was even more ruthless than Lu Yin’s previous kick. The Nightking spat out a mouthful of blood while still in mid air, and his figure crumpled as he crashed into the ground, shooting towards Nightking Planet’s core. 

Countless people were rendered speechless as they blankly stared at Lu Yin. What was going on? He seemed to have changed in just an instant.

Nobody could understand the miracle that was Lu Yin’s die, so nobody could understand Lu Yin’s mysterious comeback. 

Not much was passing through Lu Yin’s mind at this moment; he only wanted to end Nightking Zhenwu’s life. 

Next to the First Nightking’s statue, several of the Nightking experts traded glances. “Should we intervene?” 

“Just wait. There’s no hurry, as Zhenwu will not be defeated,” someone else replied.

At the same time, an alarm rang out in Daynight Flowzone; countless pirate vessels had appeared, and the Daynight clan’s troops were forced to move out in full strength.

Leon’s Armada had formally declared war against the Daynight clan, and thousands of pirate crews from all over the Innerverse suddenly surrounded the clan, besieging the Daynight clan. 

The Daynight clan instantly descended into chaos. 

Highsage Leon himself appeared above Nightking Planet, and he glanced down at it. He had almost been unable to keep himself from interfering. Fortunately, the little fellow had caught back up, so there was no need for Highsage Leon to interrupt a battle between juniors.

Highsage Leon took a deep breath as he stared at Nightking Planet. He then suddenly bellowed, “Dijiang, get out here!” 

Nightking Planet trembled, and everyone looked towards outer space.

Lu Yin looked up as well. Highsage Leon had arrived. 

Suddenly, an arrow shot up from underground, and Lu Yin raised a hand. The arrow exploded within the void, having been smashed apart by an invisible palm print.

Nightking Zhenwu shot up from the ground and looked at Lu Yin in disbelief. “How is that possible? What did you just do?” 

Not too far away from Nightking Planet, there was another planet. This was where Lan Si was staying at the moment. 

The other Ten Arbiters would not step foot on Nightking Planet; otherwise. they would have been stepped over by Nightking Zhenwu when he had ascended the Night Watch Pagoda.

Naturally, none of them would interfere in the battle between Lu Yin and Nightking Zhenwu. Even if Lan Si had pledged to unconditionally support Lu Yin, he would not help Lu Yin in his fight against Nightking Zhenwu. That was because of the unspoken rules that they all followed: a battle between Arbiters had to be impartial.

When Lu Yin shattered the arrow, Lan Si’s expression changed, and his mouth dropped open in disbelief. Was that his Vacuum Palm?! 

Lan Si was not alone, as many people were able to recognize what Lu Yin had just used. Lan Si had recently fought against Lu Yin, and his Vacuum Palm battle technique had shocked the universe at that time by beating Lu Yin to a pulp. Countless people had been searching for the battle technique since, as the shock that they had received from seeing it in battle had been overpowering. That impression was even further magnified when Lu Yin used the technique at this moment. 

Nobody had thought that Lu Yin would actually be able to use Vacuum Palm.

In the Outerverse, Lan Baobao, Elder Tie, and the others with them nearly had their eyes drop out of their sockets; wasn’t that Lan Si’s Vacuum Palm?

Nightking Zhenwu’s face became crestfallen. This was impossible; how could Lu Yin use the Vacuum Palm? Had Lan Si taught him? Even if he had, Lu yin should not have been able to learn the technique so quickly. 

In the past, it had taken Lu Yin everything he had to understand Lan Si’s Vacuum Palm and come up with a countermeasure. At this moment, he intended to make Zhenwu suffer in the same manner.

There was indeed a differential among the Ten Arbiters’ strength, but the disparity between them was not very great. Thus, Lu Yin would use Lan Si’s Vacuum Palm to contend against Nightking Zhenwu.

There was a thump. Nightking Zhenwu had been caught unprepared, and he was sent flying a thousand meters back after being struck by a Vacuum Palm. His nine lined battle force nearly shattered, and he coughed up blood as he stared at Lu Yin in shock.

Then, Zhenwu’s expression grew fierce and he gritted his teeth and bellowed, “You’re asking for death!”

He raised a hand as his spiritual force visibly gathered around him. “Skybreaker.”

Lu Yin raised his head as he silently recited the Stonewall Scriptures. The spiritual force that composed Skybreaker was too formidable for him to resist. If he did not recite the Stonewall Scriptures, there would be no possibility of him enduring it. 

The watching universe grew excited upon seeing Nightking Zhenwu use Skybreaker.

In the Wen family’s territory, the elder who had been sweeping the floor was looking at a screen, and his expression instantly changed. This battle technique that had once beaten an entire era into silence had actually reappeared. 

In Beast Tamers Flowzone’s Divine Grade Hall, the mountainous Million trembled. “Skybreaker, it’s actually Skybreaker.” 

In the Sword Sect, Liu Qianjue’s expression turned cold. He had never expected this kid to actually comprehend Skybreaker. Fortunately, the other invincible battle technique, Night’s End, Daybreak, had not appeared. Otherwise, the Daynight clan would truly be unstoppable during this era. 

In the Divine Venom Dynasty, Qiong Shaohuang was shocked. “Skybreaker has appeared! Then, when will Night’s End, Daybreak appear?” 

The Lingling clan’s patriarch, Ling Qiu, snorted upon seeing Skybreaker reappearing. Lu Yin was in no way Nightking Zhenwu’s opponent. It was a pity, as he was a good sapling, and in her mind, he was even qualified to become Ling Gong’s husband. What a pity.

In Chaos Flowzone, Cang Zhou clenched his fists. The Daynight clan could be considered the nemesis of his Chaosgod Mountain. The moment Nightking Zhenwu used Skybreaker, Cang Zhou had realized that they were in trouble. In the future, they would have to kill Nightking Zhenwu, as otherwise, they would be utterly defeated by the Daynight clan.

Logically, the Arrow Progenitor’s battle technique should have far surpass the Daynight clan’s unrivaled battle techniques, but unfortunately, the Arrow Progenitor had been a Progenitor from the Sixth Mainland. Thus, nobody in the Innerverse had recognized the battle technique, or else they would have long since been overwhelmed by Nightking Zhenwu’s power. 

Only by personally facing the techniques in battle could one understand the true terror of the Arrow Progenitor’s battle techniques.

Lu Yin had been able to rely on various methods to deal with Lan Si’s Vacuum Palm, but Lu Yin had found it extremely difficult to deal with the Arrow Progenitor’s battle technique. His only option was to use all-out force, but that had only worked once. 

Nobody had even considered that Lu Yin would be perfectly fine facing Skybreaker, but Lu Yin simply withstood Skybreaker as though nothing had happened.

“It looks like you haven’t learned your lesson!” Lu Yin barked as he struck out again with another Vacuum Palm, sending Nightking Zhenwu flying. 

Nightking Zhenwu’s hair was dispersed, and he looked disheveled as he glared angrily at Lu Yin. Zhenwu raised a hand and incessantly unleashed various Nightking clan battle techniques.

However, his battle techniques were almost completely ineffective against Lu Yin, as just a single Vacuum Palm could counteract everything that Zhenwu was throwing out.

At this moment, it seemed as if Lu Yin had integrated into Lan Si’s body; Lu Yin’s physical strength meant that he was almost immune to Nightking Zhenwu’s spiritual force while Lu Yin continued to unleash Vacuum Palm to his utmost physical limits. Nightking Zhenwu seemed to be facing two people by himself, and he was being beaten into a pathetic state. 

Everyone was completely dumbfounded. Was the almighty Nightking Zhenwu really being beaten in this manner? 

The Daynight clan found it hardest to accept what they were seeing, and they all felt as if there was something wrong with their sight. The one being knocked about should be Lu Yin. 

The few experts who were watching from next to the First Nightking’s statue were no longer able to sit still, and they all wanted to deal with Lu Yin. At that moment, the sky shattered as a threateningly beautiful woman emerged. “You people from the Nightking Clan, your opponent is right here.” 

One powerhouse after another began to appear on Nightking Planet. 

Countless people understood that the Daynight clan was about to experience great changes, or at the very least, they would not be able to remain calm.

Above Nightking Planet, Highsage Leon held out his fearsome blade as he watched a middle-aged man emerge from the void in front of him. The man was clad in all black clothes. “Nightking Dijiang, you’re finally willing to come out now?” 

The black-clothed man had a calm voice as he looked at Highsage Leon. “You came as an escort for that little fellow while on Nightking Planet. Take him away—I won’t touch him.”

Highsage Leon laughed. “What a joke! Your Daynight clan’s so-called “mandate of the heavens” is about to be destroyed. You must be dreaming, wanting to put an end to things so easily.” 

Nightking Dijiang frowned. “Highsage Leon, my Daynight clan is not as simple as you believe. Take your people away, and I can pretend that today’s events never happened, and we can even write off all grievances from the past.”

“You’re still dreaming, so let me cut you awake!” Highsage Leon’s blade slashed out.

Nightking Dijiang sighed in a helpless manner.

At the same time, a dispute erupted inside the Hall of Honor’s Interstellar Supreme Court. There, one of the Judicial Commissioners, the Calm of Despair, Mu Tianlun, was vigorously lobbying to send assistance to the Daynight clan and eliminate the various pirates surrounding the clan. “Nightking Zhenwu seized the Champions’ Stage and has made tremendous contributions to the Fifth Mainland! As a result, the Daynight clan has been named a Family of Honor, but they’re actually being attacked! This must be a joke.” 

Across from him was another Judicial Commissioner, Mu En, who was known as the Virtue of Righteousness. He countered, “Leon’s Armada has a private feud with the Daynight clan, so it’s not appropriate for us to interfere.” 

“Leon’s Armada can go by themselves if they have a private feud with the Daynight clan. Right now, there are hundreds and maybe even thousands of pirate crews within Daynight Flowzone,” Mu Tianlun gloomily replied.

Mu En smiled. “If you put it that way, then shouldn’t the people from the Daynight clan who are not a part of the Nightking bloodline also not intervene? Should we allow Leon’s Armada to fight against just the Nightking bloodline?” 

“You’re twisting my words!” Mu Tianlun was furious.

Mu En smiled. “I’m only stating facts.”

On the other side of the building, within the Hall of Honor’s council, the nine overseers were also debating at this moment, and one of the overseers was a member of the Daynight clan. He indignantly shouted, “A Family of Honor has been surrounded by pirates, which is simply a joke! This is a stain upon my Hall of Honor, and this matter will definitely be recorded down in history. Those pirates must be executed, and Leon’s Armada must also be eliminated.” 

After he sputtered those words, another overseer retorted, “The status of the Family of Honor should not be discussed at this moment. Yuan Shi has sent a message questioning the plausibility of Nightking Zhenwu seizing the Champions’ Stage, and he is also requesting that we remove the Daynight clan’s Family of Honor status for the moment.” 

“Seconded. Yuan Shi’s words must be true.”

“That’s true, Yuan Shi has never lied.”

“Yuan Shi is too great.”

The overseer from the Daynight clan trembled from rage. Yuan Shi’s status within the Hall of Honor was truly too impressive, and he had guided too many high ranking members of the hall. Thus, the overseer was not able to stand against Yuan Shi on his own.

At this time, countless pirates had arrived within Daynight Flowzone, and the various experts of the Daynight clan were all being sent out to stop the pirate crews. 

The Xun family, the Dire Barbarian Clan, the Frostmoon Sect, and the other various great powers all received reinforcement requests from the Daynight clan, asking them to immediately assist them in dealing with the pirates. 

However, the Frostmoon Sect had already sealed itself off.

The Xun family wanted to help, but a few days earlier, the Myriad Swords Peak and Watermoon Villa had both created some trouble for the family. Thus, they did not have the time or ability to help anyone at this moment.

The Dire Barbarian Clan had been attacked by the Souldream Tribe. No excuses were needed for these two powers to fight, and a conflict between them could break out at any moment. 

The Daynight clan was not able to receive any reinforcements from anywhere at all. Even the Phoenix family, which was the closest power, would not send them any help. 

Although the Daynight clan had numerous troops and many outside experts working under them as subordinates, they simply could not handle the sheer numbers of pirates. Helpless, they were forced to order Daynight clan experts in nearby flowzones to return home. However, these people faced sudden ambushes from experts from powers such as the Sword Sect, who had taken this opportunity to seize the clan’s resources. 

The Sword Sect would not attack Daynight Flowzone, but there was nothing wrong with taking action in the surrounding flowzones. After all, the two powers had often fought in those places.

In a brief moment, Daynight Flowzone had fallen into complete bedlam.

In Blazing Mist Flowzone, Leader Hong quickly reached out to the upper levels of Daynight Flowzone, informing them that he was willing to send them experts to assist. However, before his experts could move out, Blazing Mist Flowzone was ambushed by various experts, all of whom were from the Outerverse. There were more than twenty Enlighters joining the attack, which was a full third of the Outerverse’s Enlighters. There were also people from the Mt. Stacks Dojo and the Sea King’s Dome among the attackers. 

Leader Hong himself even faced an assassination attempt from Smoker, which made him so furious he bellowed in an insane manner.
