Star Odyssey
Chapter 1308: Channeling Diagram
Cultivation was not a game. It was fighting against heaven for one's life, and there was no such thing as fairness.
The brawl at the top of the mountain at the end of ZENITH was truly the essence of the entire event. Only by standing out during this chaotic battle could anyone truly qualify to seize the opportunity being offered to them. This was an opportunity to possibly become a Progenitor, and even the three Progenitors coveted such a chance.
Star Devourer rushed over, but Lu Yin just avoided the beast again. Infuriated, Star Devourer turned his head and continued to charge Lu Yin. Meanwhile, Yao Xuan stared at Lu Yin and launched another Pitch Whistle spiritual force attack. He could not believe that Lu Yin's spiritual force had managed to last this long.
Lu Yin constantly recited the Stonewall Scriptures as he tried to find a way to defeat Yao Xuan. It was impossible to attack the crown prince with spiritual force, as his body was made up of pure spiritual force. It would be very difficult to win in that manner. Lu Yin needed to find a way to leverage his physical strength, but Yao Xuan could nearly compare to Yuhua Mavis in terms of strength, which made things even more difficult
Out of everyone in ZENITH, in Lu Yin's opinion, the most difficult opponents of all were Shang Qing, Wu Taibai, Yuhua Mavis, Qiu Shi, Yao Xuan, and possibly Wang Yi.
The Celestial Demon's very body was made of spiritual force, which made him incredibly difficult to defeat.
Yao Xuan was also feeling helpless at this moment. Although he still had plenty of energy, he could not launch infinite attacks. He did not know how long Lu Yin could last for, but after Lu Yin was defeated, it would be quite difficult for him to deal with all the others.
If they were at war, then Lu Yin would definitely deal with other people first, such as Zhi Yi and Wu Taibai. However, ZENITH was a competition, and Yao Xuan was a huge obstacle to him taking the championship.
Roar!
Star Devourer let out a roar as he crashed into Lu Yin again. But this merely annoyed Lu Yin. He lifted a hand and released a Vacuum Palm that was reinforced with nine lined battle force.
All six of Star Devourer's eyes snapped wide open as he attacked.
With a bang, the mountaintop cracked, a terrible force tore through the void, and it rippled past Zenith Mountain. It visibly split space in half in the surrounding area.
At the top of the mountain, Bu Kong and the others were blasted back by the power.
Unseen Light, Liquor Hero, Zhi Yi, Qiu Shi, and the others all pulled back. Under the suppression of this power, they all felt breathless.
Wang Yi stared at Lu Yin, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.
The top of Zenith Mountain looked like it was trembling, and Lu Yin set a hand upon Star Devourer's forehead. One human and one astral beast sank deep into the ground, constantly releasing their physical strength.
Star Devourer grew excited. "Human, you're really impressive."
Even as he spoke, his power continued to rise.
Lu Yin's expression froze, and his pupils transformed into runes as he erased a portion of Star Devourer's runes. This confused Star Devourer, but he just increased his strength once more. At the same time, Yao Xuan's spiritual force incessantly attacked Lu Yin, preventing Lu Yin from using Daynight Praises to deal with Star Devourer. Yao Xuan simply wanted to have Star Devourer fight Lu Yin to the death.
Lu Yin was tenacious, had an amazing domain, and also wielded overwhelming physical power. When his sourcebox array and secret techniques were also thrown into the mix, even Yao Xuan found Lu Yin to be an exceptionally difficult opponent. Thus, he intended to cooperate with Star Devourer to take Lu Yin down.
Lu Yin moved his right foot, and an astral chessboard appeared beneath him as he tried to move himself with the Ce secret art.
However, Lu Yin had not noticed Xia Jiuyou approaching him. "Xia Secret Art: Nullify."
The Xia family's secret technique was able to dissolve all secret techniques, and it was extremely oppressive. During the battle in the Mountain and Seas Zone, Xia Jiuyou had used this secret technique to deal with Lei Nu's Discipline, and at this moment, he had stopped Lu Yin's secret technique .
Lu Yin had many enemies, and at the top of Zenith Mountain, those who hoped for Lu Yin's death were not only Yao Xuan, Zhi Yi, and the others that hated the Human Domain. There was also Xia Jiuyou. Only by eliminating Lu Yin would Xia Jiuyou find it easier to merge with Xia Luo.
Xia Jiuyou felt no hatred for Lu Yin; he was merely a ruthless person who intended to eradicate all obstacles in his path.
The perfect timing of the Xia family's secret technique shocked Lu Yin. His Ce family secret technique disappeared, and he was unable to evade the attack as he had planned. A hand shot through the air and slammed into Lu Yin's chest.
Everything had happened in an instant, and there was no time for Lu Yin to even try to raise his own strength, and neither did he have a chance to use the Teleportation Formation, as he could not arrange it fast enough.
All six of Star Devourer's eyes were red, and even a domain could not stop the beast.
The countless people in the Great Eastern Alliance who were watching the broadcast grew nervous.
All of the people on Earth prayed.
Outside of Zenith Mountain, the senior powerhouses emerged one by one, all of them focused on the display above the mountain.
In the Cosmic Sea, Highsage Leon roared, "Xia family!"
In the Neoverse, in an Azure Mansion, Ming Yan's face went pale.
In Aeternus Nation, the Ghost Monkey's mouth fell open. Seventh Bro.
At the top of Zenith Mountain, Lu Yin's domain was only able to delay Star Devourer for a moment, but during that moment, a thought flashed through Lu Yin's mind. Star energy emanated from his body, and it quickly moved to form a sourcebox array: the Channeling Diagram.
The Channeling Diagram used sourceboxes as nodes to set up a world of star energy. The stronger the sourcebox's danger zone, the larger the array would become. Additionally, the one who set up the array would be the master of the world that they had created, and they would be able to see through every single movement of star energy within this world.
Lu Yin had assumed that the Channeling Diagram had been given to him by Astral-10's Trialmaster to help him during his time as a gatekeeper. However, when Lu Yin had instinctively used his domain to resist Star Devourer's attack, Lu Yin had noticed that the external force had compressed his domain to the point of shattering. Since the Channeling Diagram was able to set up a world where Lu Yin was able to freely manipulate his star energy, then why wouldn't he be able to similarly manipulate an opponent's power?
Star Devouver's six eyes were all red. With just a bit more, he would finally kill this human. Star Devourer was not very intelligent, but he did place Skymender's orders as high priorities. Thus, all six eyes were staring hard at Lu Yin's right arm—Star Devourer had to capture Lu Yin's tamed beast.
Suddenly, Star Devourer felt like something was very wrong; his strength was growing stronger and stronger, but Lu Yin's expression was quickly returning to normal.
The Channeling Diagram appeared around Lu Yin, and star energy formed channels that continuously dispersed Star Devourer's strength. First there was one channel, then a hundred, and then a thousand as the numbers of channels kept climbing.
The channels of star energy redirected the force of the incoming attack, turning into countless channels of energy streams that flew out in all directions, guided by the star energy under Lu Yin's control.
From a distance, the power of Star Devourer's attack was being scattered into countless channels in front of Lu Yin before disappearing.
The channels suddenly pierced through Yao Xuan, startling him.
Additionally, a channel shot towards Zhi Yi, pushing her back along with her Sky Dipper.
A channel also shot towards Qiu Shi, and she raised a hand in response. Her Celestial Sword fell down and tore through the channel, but that released a massive force that forced her several steps back.
A channel also shot towards Yuhua Mavis, and she raised her hand to directly confront the channel. Upon contact, her hand flinched, and visible ripples of power spread out. Yuhua Mavis was surprised; what was this power?
Xiao Qing, Wu Taibai, Bu Kong, Shang Qing, Xia Jiuyou, and everyone else—everyone was being attacked by the power being redirected by Lu Yin's Channeling Diagram. This was not his original intention, as he had just wanted to deal with Star Devourer's attack, and Lu Yin had not even thought about who might end up being affected.
The people at the top of the mountain were still alright, but a dozen channels also fell down to the first layer, where Ku Wei screamed, "RUN!"
Xi Qi's face went pale, and the fish on top of her head kept flapping its fins. "Swim away! Swim away!"
The Little Leaf King raised a hand and caused the star energy to transform into leaves. The surface of the channel approaching him transformed into green leaves, but the power of Star Devourer contained within it still slammed into the Little Leaf King and smashed him down the mountain in a miserable manner.
Jin He, God Taiyi, Nightqueen Yanqing, Hui Santong, and many more suffered from being struck by the channels.
On the second and third layers, the same scene played out. Dozens of channels had even reached the foot of Zenith Mountain.
A Star Devourer truly did have infinite strength. Even as time passed, countless channels continued to spread out as Lu Yin ceaselessly diverted the power of the astral beast's attack in every direction.
At this moment, Lu Yin understood the true power of the Channeling Diagram. No sourcebox array was simple. Lu Yin was very curious about the Trialmaster's strength. Lu Yin only had a basic understanding of this array, and yet he was able to divert Star Devourer's limitless strength. Thus, what was the Trialmaster capable of doing?
A figure appeared in the distance and raised a hand before a palm shot forward. It was a Vacuum Palm. Lan Si had arrived.
Lan Si's Vacuum Palm hit Star Devourer's abdomen, and the attack moved the beast back tens of meters.
Seizing this opportunity, Lu Yin dissolved the rest of Star Devourer's attack.
After that, Lu Yin turned and stared straight at Xia Jiuyou. Lu Yin's hand moved, and Xia Jiuyou's pupils instantly shrank. He fled even as a knife appeared in front of his body. There was a ringing sound as Lu Yin's Vacuum Palm broke the knife, blasted Xia Jiuyou hundreds of meters back, and forced a mouthful of blood out of him as he flew away.
Not everyone had Star Devourer's physical strength, and Xia Jiuyou did not have nearly enough physical power to receive one of Lu Yin's full-powered Vacuum Palms. In fact, it was already amazing that Xia Jiuyou had managed to endure it at all.
Star Devourer roared and turned to look at Lan Si. The beast raised his right paw and smashed it down. A hurricane-like force roared out and struck Lan Si.
The Arbiter raised a hand and released a series of Vacuum Palms in response, which dissolved Star Devourer's attack.
Lan Si had lost to Yuhua Mavis, and it had looked like a miserable defeat. However, it was really a matter of who Lan Si was compared to. When it came to combat strength, although Lan Si had fallen far behind Lu Yin and Unseen Light, Lan Si was still a top powerhouse. Thus, he was capable of challenging Star Devourer, though it was indeed impossible for the Arbiter to actually win.
He was Lan Si, the Ten Arbiters' Divine Fist. He was not some nobody.
Buzz!
The fingernail-sized Bai Mai slammed into Lu Yin at this moment. It was the smallest competitor in ZENITH, and it was impossible for ordinary people to even see it.
However, Lu Yin had been paying attention to the bug all along. When Bai Mai had made its move, its massive number of rune lines had been as dazzling as a torch in the night to Lu Yin.
As Bai Mai approached, Lu Yin slapped a hand through the air, sending Bai Mai flying.
However, Lu Yin's attack was useless. Although the force of his Vacuum Palm could send Bai Mai flying, it could not harm the bug.
Buzz!
The sound approached him once again.
Yao Xuan's eyes narrowed. Bai Mai was a carrion bug, and it was truly frustrating to be targeted by such a creature.
Lu Yin also realized that this type of bug was very difficult to fight against, as even his Vacuum Palm was ineffective. What the hell? It was no wonder why this creature was able to parasitize even Progenitors.
But fortunately, even carrion bugs had a nemesis.
Lu Yin looked over at Liquor Hero. "Do me a favor and take care of this bug."
Liquor Hero's face was red, as she was drunk. However, after hearing Lu Yin's request, she raised a hand and threw out a droplet of wine at Bai Mai.
Yao Xuan's expression changed. Bai Mai could not be destroyed, and it was very difficult to defeat him, but Liquor Hero could easily trap Bai Mai with her Creation realm star energy control. She was the only one who perfectly countered Bai Mai out of everyone. She was Bai Mai's only nemesis among the people present.
This turn of events prompted Yao Xuan to immediately bombard Liquor Hero with a spiritual force attack, but Lu Yin appeared in front of her with the Ce Secret Art. He stared at Yao Xuan intently. Neither of them could focus on striving for the championship at this time, so they both focused on taking the other down.
Daynight Praises.
In a starry sky, countless astral beasts knelt down in front of Yao Xuan, and he became the lord of the Celestial Beast Empire. Off in the distance, massive beasts that stretched across the entire sky could be seen.
"So you still want to use the Daynight clan's illusions to try to deal with me." Yao Xuan sneered as he watched a massive beast before him raised a paw and smashed it down. The crown prince responded by opening his mouth and letting out a violent howl.
