Star Odyssey

“I’m fine. ”

Liu Huang let out a sigh of relief, though he also felt quite frustrated.
He had been known as the Sword Sect’s peerless genius.
The fact that he had succeeded in creating the Fourteenth Sword had boosted his self-confidence, as had the fact that his mere existence had scared the Neoverse so badly that he had been secretly captured and imprisoned in Gaia ’s Swamp.

And yet, despite all that, Liu Huang felt that he could not compare to the young man in front of himself.
This youth far, far surpassed the genius swordsman.

Just how talented was Lu Yin? What had he done to render Liu Huang’s attack so ineffective? Seeing the results of his own attack was too shocking to Liu Huang.

Lu Yin let out a slow breath.
He had been lucky that he had put up some measure of defenses with the Knowing realm of Truesight, as otherwise, Liu Huang’s sword slash would have left him with terrible injuries.

The Thirteen Swords’ First Sword was simply too fast.
When Lu Yin had first seen Liu Shaoqiu use it, the swordsman’s opponent had been eliminated before they could even see the attack.
While the Infinity realm of Truesight gave Lu Yin the power to shift and redirect attacks, such an ability was useless if he was not fast enough to react to an attack.

”Let’s go again.
Use the First Sword again, ” Lu Yin said.

Liu Huang nodded, and his sword flickered out.
The Thirteen Swords’ First Sword shot out once more.

This time, a tiny figurine appeared on Lu Yin’s shoulder, and Lu Yin waved a hand when he saw Liu Huang’s sword move.
The endless runes that belonged to the wax figurine swept out, and even though the sword slash was incredibly fast, the movements of the runes within Lu Yin’s perception could not escape his notice.
He easily altered the direction of the attack this time, rendering the First Sword useless against him.

Liu Huang stared at what seemed like a little doll on Lu Yin ’s shoulder in surprise.
What was that thing?

”Again! ” Lu Yin yelled.

Liu Huang raised his sword.

Over the next three days, Lu Yin continued to test things out in a spar with Liu Huang, slowly familiarizing himself with the Infinity realm of Truesight.

While Lu Yin was testing his new limits, in the far distant Neoverse, Qing Ping received a response from the creeper who was a spy for humanity in the Astral Beast Domain.
The beast had died.

This news quickly reached Lu Yin, and he immediately ended his spar with Liu Huang.
Lu Yin’s expression was somber as he responded to the report, ”Dead? How did it die? ”

Qing Ping replied, ”All we were able to find out is that the creeper’s dead.
We weren’t given any details.
If not for the creeper’s high status within its clan, we wouldn ’t have even learned of its death. ”

”Senior Brother, are you saying that the creeper’s death wasn’t deliberately reported to you? ” Lu Yin tried to clarify.

”No.
We have always paid attention to the most powerful species in the Astral Beast Domain, which is how we learned of the creeper’s death. ”

Lu Yin ’s eyes flickered.
Given this information, it seemed possible that the creeper might not have died because it had been exposed as a spy for humans.
It might have been killed because it had been investigating the humanoid sourceboxes.

In that case, did Skymender already know that Lu Yin was aware of that secret location?

This was something that Lu Yin had to get answers to.
Those humanoid sourceboxes represented a hidden danger, and with the creeper dead, there was no one in the Astral Beast Domain who could investigate this matter.
Lu Yin’s mind raced, but it seemed that his only option was to rely on his old methods and try to roll Possession on his die.

After all, he still had an absurd amount of star essence, and it was enough for Possession.

”I ’m getting closer and closer to my breakthrough, ” Qing Ping sent.

Lu Yin replied, ”I know.
I’m hurrying to deal with a few matters as soon as possible. ”

As soon as Lu Yin finished the conversation, he returned to where he had gone into seclusion in the past.
He raised a hand and brought out his die.
His goal was to roll Possession and merge with the body of a powerhouse from the Astral Beast Domain.
That was the fastest and most reliable method to uncover the Celestial Beast Empire’s secrets.

Lu Yin’s current strength meant that he should be able to Possess experts with power levels of at least a million.

He stared as the die slowly came to a stop.
One pip.
This was no surprise, as it was the most common roll.

Some useless item fell out, and Lu Yin quickly tapped the die again.

The second roll was Enhance, but the third roll landed on Possession.

Lu Yin’s eyes lit up as he entered the strange dark space with the orbs of light.

He saw balls of light in every direction, but all of them were dim.
Some were so faded that they were practically invisible.

Given Lu Yin’s current level of strength, just how many living creatures in the universe were on the same level as him?

Lu Yin ’s consciousness roamed the dark space, but almost every orb that he saw was dim.
Suddenly, he saw a single bright light, and he shot forward and merged into it without any hesitation.
The longer he remained in that dark space, the more star essence he would burn through.

The next instant, darkness gave way to light.
Lu Yin opened his eyes and saw that he was inside a large hall.
It was extremely luxurious, but after seeing the new Heavens Sect, every other building that Lu Yin saw was inferior.

However, there was one thing in the hall that drew his attention.
There were eyes carved into the stone in every direction.
It felt as though anyone in the hall was being stared at by countless eyes.

Someone was kneeling in front of Lu Yin, and he looked down at the figure. Huh? Xu San?

Memories started to flood Lu Yin’s mind, and an odd expression appeared on his face.
He had actually Possessed Ancestor Lingtong.

Ancestor Lingtong was one of the Sixth Mainland’s most talented geniuses.
When he had been a World Imprinter, he had been considered invincible within his cultivation realm, and after he had broken through to become a Cosmic Imprinter, he had managed to expose one of the hidden Skygods.
The man’s combat strength was considered superior to even an old Cosmic Imprinter like Ancestor Sightless.

Lu Yin had had dealings with Ancestor Lingtong before, primarily when he had secretly taken away the lesser giants from the Sixth Mainland during the war against the Astral Beast Domain when the Great Eastern Alliance had moved out to protect the Outerverse from invasion.

Ancestor Lingtong was also Xu San ’s master.

Lu Yin opened his eyes again and looked around, but what he saw was very different from his normal vision.
Everything looked different.
He looked back down at Xu San, and the man looked entirely different from before.
Lu Yin could see Xu San’s body, meridians, and even his blood.
This was the power of Ancestor Lingtong’s innate gift of Double Sight.
It was no wonder how the man had discovered one of the Seven Skygods who had been in hiding.

Xu San was respectfully kneeling on the floor, his eyes darting about nervously.
He had approached his master to request more resources.
Xu San did not have enough star essence to meet his needs, and he had many underlings waiting for him.
He had once been extremely extravagant in his spending, but he was currently broke.
