Star Odyssey

a feasible method to use against this group of astral beasts.
Huo Qingshan was afraid that Lu Yin would not be able to take care of himself. 

However, Lu Yin’s strength stunned the Hunter once again, and it broke his understanding of how strong a Limiteer could be. 

This was especially true after Lu Yin killed a Cruiser realm astral beast.
After that, Huo Qingshan lost all anxiety for Lu Yin’s safety.
None of the astral beasts in this attack wave was stronger than a Cruiser, so none of them were a threat to Lu Yin. 

Before long, the ambushing astral beasts were nearly annihilated, though Lu Yin and the others did not come out of the clash completely unharmed either.
Fortunately, the fleet full of ordinary troops that had been following behind them to reinforce Ironblood Weave had not caught up yet, or otherwise there would have been massive casualties. 

In the battle, Lu Yin had managed to kill one Cruiser and more than ten Explorer beasts overall.
For a Limiteer, these results were already pretty decent, and Lu Yin estimated that he had just earned dozens of Ironblood Points. 

He glanced at the battle network and saw that his contributions were currently being evaluated.
He wouldn’t know how many Ironblood Points he had acquired from this battle until the calculations were complete. 

This battle did not delay their arrival time too much, and half a day later, Lu Yin and the others saw another colossal structure that took up an entire region of space, much like Brokenblade Fort, which they had previously passed by.
The stronghold blocked their entire line of vision since it was formed from many planets, and its strong battle aura seemed to invite them.
This was Seasons Fort. 

Ironblood Weave was separated into Ironblood Fort at the front, three strongholds in the middle, and then five more strongholds in the back.
Seasons Fort was located behind Ironblood Fort, and it was one of the three middle strongholds and another one of the fortresses that was also embroiled in constant conflict. 

Lu Yin and the others did not have the luxury of time to carefully observe Seasons Fort, as they were instantly drawn to the battlefield in front of them.

Lu Yin had never seen such a massive battle take place before.

From high above in outer space, to down on the grounds before the fortress, there was fighting everywhere he could see.
The battle drums clearly rang throughout the entire region. 

In the past, at Erudite Flowzone’s border warfront, though the battles had been bitter, Lu Yin had only ever participated in defending the surface of a single planet, and he had not even seen what occurred in outer space.
On the other hand, the battlefield at Seasons Fort gave him an acute feeling for the desperate struggle between the different races. 

The newcomers were not given any time to think, and Lu Yin and the others immediately jumped into the fray.
The battle system could independently differentiate between each participant’s identity, so they were able to enter Seasons Fort without any difficulty.
Their arrival was greeted by the scene of a severed arm smashing into the middle of the stronghold’s space station.
Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed; he could feel a powerful oppression from the arm, and it had definitely belonged to a Hunter. 

As he thought of this, blood rained down like a waterfall before his eyes before a badly mangled corpse crashed down with half of its body missing.

“It’s a Hunter.” Aden immediately moved in front of Lu Yin to protect him while vigilantly observing the outside of the space station. 

There was another explosion as half of the space station was shredded apart by a massive claw.
Aden leaped up, and a thunderous rumble roared out from his thunder shield.
The next moment, a shockwave swept across the entire area, and Huo Qingshan grabbed Lu Yin and flew away as the entire space station was torn to pieces.

Huo Qingshan took Lu Yin back into outer space, and once they were out of the space station, Lu Yin could finally make out the figure of an enormous monster that was thousands of meters long.
He watched as the astral beast was blasted away by Aden and sent flying hundreds of kilometers away.
The beast roared as it slashed down with its claw, slicing the void into multiple layers as numerous, incomparably huge spatial cracks crashed down towards the stronghold’s space station.

The stronghold’s space station had been constructed atop a floating mainland in space, and if it was destroyed, then the entire mainland would collapse. 

At the moment, there were many human cultivators still on the mainland, fighting against the astral beasts. 

Aden growled, and his thunder shield expanded in size as it collided with the claw.
The Hunter forcibly resisted this astral beast’s claw strike, preventing even the remnant spatial cracks rushing towards the space station from leaking through the thunder shield’s defenses.

Countless people witnessed this scene, all of them shocked and wondering when such a terrifying powerhouse had arrived at their stronghold.
It should be known that this astral beast was also a Hunter, but despite that, it had already killed three human Hunters.
Aside from a select few elites, no one could stand against the creature, and the few cultivators who had the strength to do so had all been held back by other strong foes.
This astral beast was its side’s strongest blade during this invasion attempt, but it had been blocked by a person who had suddenly appeared, and now, the astral beasts were gradually losing the battle. 

“That astral beast is at least a monster among Hunters, and it might even be close to the level of being the strongest,” Huo Qingshan exclaimed. 

Lu Yin quietly replied, “It can’t be the strongest since it can’t compare to Aden.’

Boom!

Another rumble was heard as Aden repelled the astral beast’s attack once again.
Not only did he repel the beast, but he even pushed his thunder shield forward to force the beast out of the stronghold.
The void distorted in the process, and it eventually caused space itself to crack and splinter apart.

At another end of the stronghold, Liu Qiuyu looked over in shock. When did such a strong powerhouse arrive? Such power can rival an Enlighter’s.

The Enlighter beast battling against Liu Qiuyu was also stunned, and it looked unwilling to accept what it saw. 

Lu Yin had Huo Qingshan take him onto one of the stronghold’s floating continents.
Some of the fortress’s regions were planets while others were independent continents floating in the heavens.

Lu Yin soon appeared on the floating continent that held the space station and joined the battle.
He did not want to rashly join the battle in outer space before first understanding the situation of the battlefield. 

Nobody knew how long this battle would last for, and Lu Yin fought for two days straight after arriving at Seasons Fort.
He was constantly surrounded by astral beasts, and they were even snarling in outer space, above the fortress.
At times, a powerful attack would shake the land itself, but the humans’ powerhouses held back the destruction. 

Lu Yin panted heavily and donned his universal armor while he held some star essences in one hand, restoring his star energy.
