Star Odyssey

The people watching from outside Zenith Mountain were astonished. "Why is that beast so powerful? Not even two Arbiters working together can defeat it."

"And the scariest thing is that, of its six eyes, it's only opened one so far. Could its power possibly increase every time it opens an eye?

"Of course, everybody knows that! The predicted top ten lists are going to change. That beast is definitely going to enter the top ten."

"It's so scary! There really are many different kinds of beasts in the Astral Beast Domain."

…

Mu En appeared from some corner of the sky and solemnly said, "Star Devourers have appeared a few times in the past, but whenever one appears, it always causes terrible damage to us since there are very few people who can stand up to such a beast."

Qinmei Mavis was standing next to him. She was a powerhouse from the Mavis clan, and she replied, "Not only do the Star Devourers have amazing strength, but they are also naturally resistant to star energy attacks, which is similar to how people from the Sixth Mainland naturally suppress those from the Fifth Mainland. The beasts' attacks can destroy star energy, and its immense strength makes it a very difficult opponent."

"In the past, your Mavis clan has competed against Star Devourers in terms of physical strength, but sadly, your clan was always defeated." Mu En sighed.

Qinmei Mavis looked dejected. "We've never been able to defeat those creatures. A Star Devourer has the greatest strength of anyone in the entire universe."

The Xia family patriarch, Xia Yi, appeared. "You're wrong. The strongest was the clone of Progenitor Chen who acquired the giants' bloodline."

Qinmei Mavis paused, but then she nodded. "Progenitor Chen was truly invincible."

"Although they are powerful, it is still possible to defeat the beasts by utilizing other methods," Mu En said.

Elsewhere, the Sixth Mainland's powerhouses were also watching from around Zenith Mountain, and among them was Nong Laohan, an elder from the Nong family.

Nong Laohan watched as the Star Devourer fought against Wen Sansi and the others and exclaimed, "The Fifth Mainland also has it hard. We've never seen such a beast in our Sixth Mainland."

Ancestor Autumnfrost appeared nearby. "That beast is not from the Fifth Mainland."

Nong Laohan looked over at the other elder in shock.

Ancestor Autumnfrost explained, "Have you forgotten about the other four mainlands? Some of the beasts in the Astral Beast Domain, and even some of the clans in the Human Domain, originate from the previous four mainlands."

"There are a considerable number of such beasts in the Fifth Mainland that came from the previous mainlands. If not for those creatures, it would have been much easier to invade the Fifth Mainland." Madam Hong appeared with a cold expression on her face as she stared at the mountain's eastern face. She also glared at Lu Yin. She should have killed him before, as he had now risen to a level where he could injure Hong Ying with just the flick of a finger. Madam Hong wondered how Hong Ying was faring and hoped that the girl was not dead.

As Madam Hong stared at Lu Yin, she suddenly thought of someone and smiled.

Zenith Mountain's northern face fell into chaos due to Star Devourer. After revealing his massive size, the beast had become everyone's public enemy. Despite that, he was still able to withstand all the attacks due to his sheer power. Conversely, another beast had revealed its enormous size on the western side of the mountain, but it had met with an unfortunate end. That beast had been an Amethyst Beast named Zi Tongtian, and it had revealed itself even earlier than Star Devourer.

However, the Amethyst Beast had not been as powerful as Star Devourer, and he had been quickly eliminated by Ling Gong and Yōu Qi.

Amethyst Beasts were very powerful, but this one had met even stronger opponents.

Yōu Qi had an impenetrable defense and was so powerful that even Zi Tongtian had been completely helpless against him. Additionally, Ling Gong had used her Skycastle to suppress Zi Tongtian, which had led to the beast's instant death.

The powerhouses from the Astral Beast Domain who had initially grown excited because of Star Devourer fell silent upon seeing Zi Tongtian's death.

Humans were not easy to deal with.

Zhuo Daynight and Nightqueen Yanqing were both on Zenith Mountain's western face, and Nightqueen Yanqing had naturally attacked Zhuo Daynight.

The Daynight clan's conflict drew many people's attention, and Lu Yin also turned to watch the battle.

Although Lu Yin was uncertain as to just how powerful Nightqueen Yanqing had become, he was confident that Zhuo Daynight would not suffer defeat.

A hundred meters away from Nightqueen Yanqing and Zhuo Daynight's battle, a fat and a thin figure excitedly discussed something.

"Fat Bro, look, there's a flying stone."

"Thin Bro, that must be some beast from the Fifth Mainland's Astral Beast Domain."

"But isn't it a stone?"

"How can a stone fly? It has to be a beast."

"Fat Bro, I- I- I like it."

"Thin Bro, I- I like it, too."

"Let's go!"

Little Mountain God was feeling very relaxed. He watched the battle between the two girls from the Daynight clan take place on his left before turning to watch the Sixth Mainland's Sword Scholar fight with Shu Jing, an Honor Chosen from the Hall of Honor. Neither of the fights affected Little Mountain God, as he was just a stone that was easily overlooked.

Suddenly, Little Mountain God grew wary and instinctively dodged to the side. A fat figure and a thin silhouette crashed onto the ground right where it had been standing.

Little Mountain God moved along while wondering who those two people were. They were probably just a couple of random cultivators who were not very powerful.

Little Mountain God looked behind himself. Hmm? Isn't that someone from the Great Eastern Alliance?

He felt that it was time for him to teach such a person a lesson since they were alone. How dare the Outerverse unite to move against the Innerverse? What a joke!

Suddenly, Little Mountain God felt some sort of threat again, and he immediately dodged. The ground shook, and Little Mountain God looked back. Hmm? Those people look familiar. Aren't they those two fat and thin cultivators? How are they still conscious? They must be the two attacking me.

The Greenmen Duo looked at Little Mountain God with excited eyes. "That's definitely something good! It has such quick reactions. Fat Bro, I have to catch it and give it to you."

"Thin Bro, I'm going to catch it and give it to you."

"Fat Bro, we're brothers forever."

"Thin Bro, let's work hard."

Little Mountain God was dazed. Just what was going on?

"Catch it!" The Greenmen Duo rushed at Little Mountain God, but he instantly made his escape. He was not scared of the two, though he did feel rather disgusted by them since they looked like two madmen.

Neither Little Mountain God nor the Greenmen Duo had noticed that there was a tiny bug as large as a fingernail sitting atop Little Mountain God's head. The bug looked like a beetle, and it remained perfectly still atop Little Mountain God's head.

As for the northern face of the mountain, the energy waves from the top of Zenith Mountain kept washing over the competitors. Yao Xuan, the Celestial Beast Empire's crown prince, stood in front of the mountain pass as he looked down at the various competitors. A faint glow shrouded him that moved together with the energy waves coming off of Zenith Mountain.

On the eastern, southern, and western faces of Zenith Mountain, although some of the participants were eliminated by the energy waves falling from Zenith Mountain, none of the Explorers were affected by it. Thus, no more than 200,000 to 300,000 people had been eliminated by the energy waves.

In contrast, nearly 500,000 competitors had already been eliminated on the mountain's northern side, and it was entirely because of Yao Xuan. He had mixed his own power into the energy waves, which had eliminated a lot of the participants.

Once they were touched by the energy waves, Explorers and even Cruisers would simply fall off of the mountain.

Most people were not capable of detecting Yao Xuan's power, as only a small number of people were capable of doing so, and an even smaller number of people were able to remained unaffected by the energy.

Liu Ling was from the Sword Sect, and she was breathing heavily while racing to dodge the energy wave approaching her.

Not only did the energy wave have a large impact, but it also contained a hidden spiritual force attack. This was precisely why so many people had fainted.

A single glance showed that many of the participants had fainted, and some were even dead.

Was ZENITH truly such a challenge? Even the energy waves from the mountain were enough to eliminate half of the competitors.

Liu Ling had not realized that the other competitors were not being eliminated by the energy waves, but rather by Yao Xuan.

Some distance away, Lilyrose, Charon, Dai Ao, and the others avoided the energy waves, as they also felt threatened by them.

At the same time, in a certain corner of the mountain, Bai Qian, who was wearing a white chiffon mask, calmly looked at a man standing in front of her. "Why are you blocking my path?"

This man was Calcifer, an assassin who had been in cryostasis for a hundred years. He had previously attempted to assassinate Starsibyl, and he had also participated in the Astral Combat Academy, where he had been defeated by Chao Zhi.

"I saw you before in the Astral Combat Academy. You were with the current generation's Starsibyl," Calcifer said.

Bai Qian replied, "So?"

Calcifer's eyes blazed with killing intent. "Since I can't kill Starsibyl, you can replace her."

He quickly shot towards Bai Qian. His battle technique was Ten Step Kill, and his innate gift allowed him to destroy anything. The fact that he had been able to enter the fourth round of the Astral Combat Academy's tournament in the past was enough to prove his strength, and he was also able to hide his aura as an assassin.

His assassination skills made him way more dangerous during ZENITH.

Calcifer suddenly appeared behind Bai Qian and used his arm to attack her back. His innate gift would split her in half.

Suddenly, white mist appeared in front of him, and the world turned cold. Was the world frozen? No, he was the one who had been frozen.

Calcifer fell to the ground with a bang. He had been frozen within a block of ice, and his expression still showed the satisfaction of completing a successful attack.

Bai Qian stepped over him. She simply didn't care about his grudge with Starsibyl.

Wherever one looked on the mountain, there were powerhouses fighting against each other. There was Xia Jiuyou, Wu Taibai, Liquor Hero, and Starsibyl on the mountain's northern face.

One of the competitors on that side of the mountain drew a great deal of attention: Wang Yi. He was the only participant from the Technocracy, and his name alone was enough to attract attention from countless people.

Wang was a primeval surname, which meant that it represented an inheritance and a certain distinction. Wang Yi was very mysterious, and not many people had seen him before the start of ZENITH. Even after the competition started, he still had not attacked anyone even though many people were still focused on him.

The reason why nobody else from the Technocracy had registered for ZENITH was because androids were considered items. Wang Yi, on the other hand, was a normal person and did not seem to have any signs of having been altered.

Ever since Wang Yi had shown up, the Seven Courts' Hui family had begun investigating him since they hoped to learn more about Hui Kong from him.

A huge thunderbeast swept across the northern side of the mountain; Yao Gu had attacked Wang Yi in order to test this mysterious person's abilities.

The Techonocracy wasn't a mystery only to the Human Domain, as it was equally mysterious to the Astral Beast Domain.

When Yao Gu attacked, more people paid attention to the two contestants.

Countless screens across the universe focused on Zenith Mountain's northern face, and more were watching these participants than even during the start of the battle with Star Devourer.

Wang Yi had average looks and was dressed normally. Other than that, he was quite pale and looked a bit underweight. Although everyone else was rushing up towards the mountain pass, Wang Yi had been slowly walking along and had fallen behind the majority of the crowd.
