Star Odyssey-Chapter 3559: Numerous Arrays

The nearby space rippled, causing all the spirit seeds to fall off of the spirit tree and spiral into the air. The attendants at the tree were all startled, and they quickly tried to collect the seeds, as they could not all be dispersed at once.

Su Shidao hurried over, and he was dumbfounded by what he found. "Third Boss, have you gone mad? Stop that right now!"

Lu Yin turned his head. "I said that I was going to carve some words on the walls of the Apex Palace. No one can stop me from doing that."

Su Shidao was stunned. Does he really intend to carve on the Apex Palace?

Throughout the history of the Spirit Nidus, how many people had succeeded in entering the Ascendant Hall? How many had succeeded in entering the Apex Palace? The Third Boss was far too vicious.

"You should give up on that. When the thirty-six Ascensii work together, they are able to withstand even the Seven Seraphs," Su Shidao cautioned.

Lu Yin's eyes were cold, and he lashed out again, this time using Linked Palm.

The sequence particles from Untamed and the thirty-six Ascensii surged towards Lu Yin’s hand. Once they were pulled into the Linked Palm, they strengthened his attack.

Lan's pupils shrank sharply. What kind of battle technique is this? How can he even use another person’s sequence particles?

The High Seraph gave a small smile, as he had seen this technique before. It’s quite interesting how the Tianyuan Megaverse’s development has sparked so many uncertainties. It should be kept—they might be able to develop an interesting power.

Lu Yin’s palm slammed down, and the thirty-six Ascensii all spat out more blood as more and more of their sequence particles were used to power the Linked Palm. This was Lu Yin’s counterattack. There was no need for him to force his way through Untamed or the Ascensii. Simply appropriating their sequence particles was enough to effectively destroy their defenses from within.

Linked Palm allowed a person to use the strength of their opponents to fight back, and it would be easy to use Linked Palm to break through the Treasureform Sequence Technique. However, doing so would take a great deal of time.

The dignified guardians of the Apex Palace, who specialized in defense and who had abandoned all means of attack, would be utterly humiliated if their defenses were easily overcome.

Despite repeatedly coughing up blood with worsening injuries, the thirty-six Ascensii were being supported by the Untamed sequence base. They would not fall easily.

Su Shidao's voice reached Lu Yin's ear. "Sequence bases are one of the Spirit Nidus’s greatest treasures, taking the sequence particles of numerous powerhouses throughout our history, and Untamed focuses solely on defense. It is extremely difficult to break through. Are you sure you want to waste time here?

"Truthfully, there must be powerful experts within the Apex Palace, but I have no idea if they are the High Seraph’s subordinates or merely the protectors of the Apex Palace. Even if you do manage to carve on the walls of the Apex Palace, it won't mean much if you take too long."

Lu Yin continued to press his hand on the spirit treasure formation. "Do you know what methods Cheng Gong uses?"

Su Shidao could not understand why Lu Yin would suddenly mention Cheng Gong at such a moment. "I have no idea. His techniques are very strange, and while it seems like he’s a spirit treasure master, his methods don’t quite match that either. His methods give me the feeling of... How should I put it?" frёewebnoѵēl.com

The man trailed off, and Lu Yin's eyes sharpened. "Like a more advanced method of using spirit treasures."

Su Shidao's eyes lit up. "Exactly. He still uses the spirit treasures’ danger zones, but whereas we need to arrange them into spirit treasure formations, he directly uses those danger zones. It's really too strange. Not even my Floral Transposition can be used so effortlessly. I had to gather countless years of experience with both spirit treasure formations and my Spirit Transformation innate gift to complete it. Cheng Gong has certainly spent less time than me with spirit treasures, so I’m amazed that he could reach such a level of mastery so quickly. He’s managed to create an unprecedented method."

Lu Yin's expression grew serious. "Did he create that method?"

Su Shidao shook his head. "I don't know. Aside from him, no one else uses that method. He is the first Spirit Treasure Grandmaster to come from Heavenspire."

Cheng Gong’s methods continued to replay in Lu Yin's mind. He had thought about it a great deal. Was it possible that the man had developed an alternate lockbreaking path? Heavenspire was actually the Lesser Spirit Megaverse, the fourth megaverse beyond the three known megaverses. It was not impossible for them to have developed such a unique method, but if that were the case, then the High Seraph certainly knew it.

If their megaverse had not developed the lockbreaking method that Cheng Gong employed, then who could have? If Lu Yin was forced to guess, he would say that the most likely candidate was the High Seraph.

The High Seraph’s combat power made him invincible, and it was certainly possible that he had also delved into spirit treasures. Lu Yin was the greatest Array Grandmaster in the Tianyuan Megaverse, so it was not impossible for the High Seraph to have achieved the same thing in his own megaverse.

Such speculations had long occupied Lu Yin's mind, and he was eager to verify the truth.

Cheng Gong's methods were truly too amazing. Lu Yin was unable to understand them at all, so he would use the current opportunity to see for himself.

With this thought, Lu Yin released his inner universe. One sourcebox array after another appeared and was released.

Before heading to the Umbral Deep, Lu Yin had made it a point to go into seclusion in an interstellar city. With Su Shidao's Floral Transposition serving as the inspiration, Lu Yin had stored a number of specific sourcebox arrays in his inner universe in preparation for the fight at the Umbral Deep. Unfortunately, he had never found the chance to use them in that battle.

Afterward, when he had gone to the Roaming South Realm, he had been shocked by the sourcebox array known as Codex 16, and he had studied it while preparing additional sourcebox arrays.

Lu Yin had not known when he might eventually use his stored sourcebox arrays, but he was certain that they would eventually be needed. It seemed that the time had finally come.

Against the High Seraph, it would not matter how many sourcebox arrays Lu Yin prepared. Regardless of their numbers, they would not be able to accomplish much. Thus, the current situation was the perfect opportunity.

First, the Epoch Blade.

Massive Epoch Blades sliced out from Lu Yin’s inner universe, slashing at the Untamed sequence base, as well as the formation that the thirty-six Ascensii had arranged.

Lan's gaze sharpened, and she immediately looked at Su Shidao.

Even the High Seraph instinctively looked at the old man.

Su Shidao spread out his hands in a helpless manner as he took a few steps back. He had nothing to do with Lu Yin’s actions.

The Epoch Blades fell, one right after another.

No one could guess how many sourcebox arrays Lu Yin had placed in his inner universe. He rolled his die and used Timestop to take advantage of his abilities as the Tianyuan Megaverse’s best Array Grandmaster.

When Su Shidao saw the first Epoch Blade appear, he knew that Lu Yin had already succeeded. The young man had managed to master something similar to Su Shidao’s own Floral Transposition. Floral Transposition had a limit of 999 Epoch Blades, but what about Lu Yin’s ability? Was he also limited?

Of course not.

Regardless of how large or small Lu Yin’s inner universe was, it was still an entire universe.

Lu Yin used the power of Infinity as a substitute for a sourcebox’s danger zone when arranging these sourcebox arrays. He had named this particular Progenitor’s world Infinity precisely because it represented infinite strength. With enough time, Lu Yin could fill his entire inner universe with sourcebox arrays.

These sourcebox arrays were completely worthless against the High Seraph, as the man’s strength was far too high for such measures to mean anything. It was simply a difference in absolute power. However, Lu Yin was confident that he could use the sourcebox arrays stored in his inner universe to bury the entire Spirit Nidus, given enough time. Alone, he would become as powerful as a megaverse.

His Karmic Dao followed a grand structure. Above, the Investiture of the Gods represented the heavens, while below, the Champions' Stage served as purgatory. A vast landmass spanned the cosmos, separating the two aspects of his Karmic Dao, with stars orbiting it and astral phenomena swirling around, hiding the sourcebox arrays. Verdant Eternity encompassed it all, while the Wordless Heavenly Book lay at its core. Within his inner universe, he held Dust World, Lightstream, karma, time, the will of billions of beings, and endless karmic destinies.

This was his inner universe. He was an entire universe unto himself.

Not even the High Seraph could fully perceive the details of Lu Yin’s inner universe.

Lu Yin might not possess the strength necessary to defeat the High Seraph, but it also would not be easy for the High Seraph to defeat Lu Yin. He was certain of that.

The Epoch Blades continued to fall.

Untamed released even more sequence particles, and the thirty-six Ascensii grew pale. One by one, they turned to stare at Lu Yin in disbelief. Was this person really regarded as equal to the Seven Seraphs?

They had to question their belief of being capable of withstanding attacks from the Seven Seraphs.

Lan stared at Lu Yin. "Third Boss, since you have become a Seraph, you should understand that the Apex Palace represents the Spirit Nidus. What you are doing is a terrible betrayal of the megaverse!"

Lu Yin gave a small smile. "I’m from the Tianyuan Megaverse."

Lan wanted to retort, but she could not find anything to say. This man was indeed from another megaverse. She could not understand why the High Seraph had acknowledged Lu Yin as a Seraph. This was beyond anything Lan was qualified to deal with, but regardless, Lu Yin was trying to deface the walls of the Apex Palace. Such a thing was so far beyond Lan’s understanding that she had accused Lu Yin of betraying the megaverse.

She had never been so humiliated before.

No matter who it might be, even someone as unruly as Emperor Wu would always show some level of respect for the Apex Palace. This Third Boss was too arrogant, and yet the High Seraph was doing nothing.

"You cannot break Untamed! Leave now!" Lan shouted angrily.

More and more Epoch Blades fell, leaving Lan both shocked and frightened. This man was using Floral Transposition. There was no question that this was Su Shidao's Floral Transposition. The Spirit Treasure Grandmaster had become famous with his Epoch Blade, and he had proven his pinnacle-level strength with his Floral Transposition. He was clearly as powerful as a Seraph. However, not even Su Shidao’s Floral Transposition could store this many Epoch Blades.

Hundreds of swords had already slashed down, and the formation created through Treasureform Sequence Technique was beginning to collapse.

"Brother Su, are you also defying the Apex Palace?" Lan raged at Su Shidao.

The Grandmaster felt completely helpless. "What does any of this have to do with me? I haven’t even made a move."

Lan gritted her teeth. "He is using Floral Transposition, and you are the only one in the Spirit Nidus who knows that formation! You actually taught it to another person!"

Su Shidao was rendered speechless, and he could only reply, "You’re mistaken."

"You!" Lan was infuriated.

The High Seraph examined Lu Yin’s inner universe that had been exposed. Floral Transposition? This man is much too great a threat.

If not for his orders, the High Seraph would have never allowed Lu Yin to live.

The man looked up and gazed in the direction of the Hundred Grasses Domain. This person cannot be killed, but those others are fair game.

The Epoch Blades fell relentlessly, and the thirty-six Ascensii all coughed up more blood. It was clear that they could collapse at any moment.

It was not enough. It was still lacking. Even if the thirty-six Ascensii were utterly crushed, it would still be impossible to break Untamed.

Then I’ll continue.

Codex 16.

A solitary figure appeared atop a cold mountain. With a glance over their shoulder, a single finger pointed out. This was Codex 16.

The Phantom Reach had painstakingly arranged Codex 16 at their headquarters in the South Roaming Realm, which was the source of their confidence that they could repel even their most powerful enemies. Lu Yin had spent a great deal of effort to learn the sourcebox array, and he had then frenziedly started adding it to his inner universe.

The lonely person had their shadow falling down the side of the mountain as they pointed a finger down. They gave off the impression of being a master. The finger attack from Codex 16 was certainly powerful, but when one finger attacked right after another, the feeling given off by the sourcebox array suddenly changed.

Outside of the Apex Palace, first, a stream of Epoch Blades sliced down. After that, multiple mountain peaks appeared, each with a lonely figure atop of them. Each individual glanced over their shoulder, and each used a finger technique. The more that one looked around, the stranger the scene appeared. It looked as though an entire group of peerless experts had appeared. The sense of solitude had completely vanished.

Countless finger attacks rained down, instantly stunning the thirty-six Ascensii.

Lan upheld Untamed with both of her hands as she stared at the eyes staring downwards in horror. This was supposed to be a unique, solitary individual, cold and completely indifferent. How could so many of them have appeared? There were too many, and seeing them all was enough to leave anyone’s scalp numb.

Even the High Seraph was astonished. What is this?

Su Shidao gaped. "You can use it like this? This feels just like copying."

If the figure atop the mountain were alive, seeing so many duplicates of himself would probably drive him to his death, as his image as a master would be completely ruined.

Beneath the Apex Palace, as the countless finger attacks fell, the Morrow Behemoth’s eyes suddenly opened. Its massive eyes met those of countless experts across the Spirit Nidus, and it let out an earth-shattering roar.

The High Seraph's face changed, and he instantly vanished.

This was a moment of nightmares for countless people as their gaze met a pair of eyes large enough to cover an entire universe.

Were the heavens looking at them? The eyes were so massive, hideous, and terrifying. People felt as if they were about to be devoured.

Lu Yin looked down. The Morrow Behemoth's roar had sent a shiver down his spine. This creature was far from weak.

Su Shidao's expression grew serious. "That is no joke! That roar actually caused my vision to blur."

Within the Ascendant Hall, 100,000 female attendants lost consciousness, as did many cultivators.

Lan was utterly horrified. The Morrow Behemoth?
