Star Odyssey

to the other man.
Yan Cheng intended to leave the arrow behind for his juniors in the Yan family.
They would be able to bring it into the Daosource Sect ’s ruins and use it to search for the Arrow Progenitor’s inheritance. 

However, the attitude that Ancestor Mojiang had shown before he had left made Yan Cheng feel a little apprehensive.
These old fellows were notorious for their ruthless methods, particularly Ancestor Mojiang.
In order to receive the Martial Progenitor’s support, he had willingly led the entire Mojiang bloodline to invade the Fifth Mainland.
Ancestor Mojian was someone who would resort to anything to achieve his goals.
With their strength, the Yan family’s juniors had no hope of competing against those of the Mojiang bloodline. 

As he thought about this, Yan Cheng immediately sent someone back to the Sixth Mainland to inform Ancestor Autumnfrost, as Yan Cheng intended to offer the arrow to Ancestor Autumnfrost.
With the offering of the arrow and Xiaojing’s upcoming marriage to Autumnfrost Qing, it would be enough to securely tie the Yan family to this colossal creature that was the Autumnfrost family. 

It should be known that Ancestor Autumnfrost was actually slightly stronger than Ancestor Mojiang. 

…

Before long, the people who Yan Cheng had sent to return to the Sixth Mainland fearfully stared ahead at a point in outer space.
“Ancestor Mo- Mojiang?” 

Ancestor Mojiang casually waved a hand, and the Hunter instantly turned to dust. 

“Sure enough, he wanted to offer this arrow to the Autumnfrost family.
Yan Cheng, I will let you know the outcome of crossing me.” Ancestor Mojiang’s voice was cold, and he vanished in an instant. 

One arrow was obviously not enough to satisfy Yan Cheng.
Over the upcoming days, the Sixth Mainland centered the majority of its focus on conquering the Greatwood Lavazone.
Yan Cheng also moved out on multiple occasions, as he wanted to force the Arrow Mountain Elder to use another arrow. 

Yan Cheng’s thoughts were quite clear: if the Arrow Mountain Elder used another arrow, then he would immediately escape and would simply let Ancestor Mojiang handle the situation.
Whether or not Ancestor Mojiang would be able to snatch another arrow was none of Yan Cheng’s business. 

He hoped that Ancestor Mojiang would be able to obtain another arrow.
That way, the Cosmic Imprinter would not keep staring at the one in Yan Cheng’s possession. 

The moment the Sixth Mainland moved out at full force, the situation became very terrifying for the defending Fifth Mainland.
The invading forces contained almost ten powerhouses with power levels over 200,000 as well as multiple experts with power levels exceeding 300,000 and even 400,000.
The Greatwood Lavazone simply could not resist such an assault, and just a lone Envoy like the Arrow Mountain Elder could not stop all of the attackers. 

Fortunately, Millions City had arrived in the nick of time.
The first appearance of the mobile fortress had eliminated quite a few of the Sixth Mainland’s experts with its energy cannons, and it had also destroyed a large number of the Technocracy’s androids, which finally gave the Greatwood Lavazone some breathing room. 

Yan Cheng had not expected a mobile fortress like Millions City to appear at the border.
This sort of ancient construct was not technically considered a firearm despite it being built from advanced technology. 

The Technocracy wanted to influence the control of Millions City, but to their surprise, they found that they could not do anything. 

Mobile fortresses like Millions City hailed from the ancient era, and it had its own safeguards in place.
The weapons consumed star essence to power their energy attacks, and the defensive barrier surrounding Millions City had been upgraded to the point of being able to withstand attacks from Envoys.
Additionally, it was very difficult for outside technology to influence the fortress. 

Half a month passed, and during this time, there were very few attacks on the Ironblood Lavazone.
Lu Yin’s military contributions had risen to 50,000 due to him successfully crossing lavazones to transport the dark lava as well as killing multiple enemies.
He had gathered quite an outstanding service record, but unfortunately, after he had killed an Enlighter when first arriving at the border warfront, not a single other Enlighter from the Sixth Mainland had tried to fight him.
Thus, he had only been able to kill cultivators and androids at the Hunter realm. 

On one particular day, Commander Zhang sought out Lu Yin.
“The Greatwood Lavazone is facing a bitter fight, and they need more support.
Alliance Leader Lu, I’m sorry, but only you can go.” 

The Ghost Monkey was angered by this.
“Seventh Bro, why? Why are they asking you to do everything? The Sixth Mainland people who’ve invaded the Greatwood Lavazone are basically all lunatics! You’ll just be sending yourself to your death by going there.” 

Lu Yin did not want to go either, and he hesitated. 

Although his universal armor could resist attacks with power levels of around 300,000 or so, quite a few of the battles in the Greatwood Lavazone had involved Imprinters.
Reportedly, even Ancestor Mojiang and Yuan Shi had fought several times there, and going there was essentially the same as looking to die.
On such a battlefield, there would be no decisive role for him to play like in Ironblood Weave, and he would be destined to be a spectator.
It was more important for him to preserve his own life. 

Commander Zhang sighed.
“Millions City’s support has helped reduce the severity of the Greatwood Lavazone’s crisis, but have you noticed how the strength of the forces attacking the Ironblood Lavazone have weakened? The enemy forces were likely transferred over to the Greatwood Lavazone, and although we don’t know why the Sixth Mainland is so determined to conquer the Greatwood Lavazone, we cannot allow that region to be breached.
As this region’s commander, I cannot go, and Yuehua Mavis is the only one here who can stall an Imprinter.
Thus, you are the only option.” 

“Let me consider this,” Lu Yin said. 

Commander Zhang nodded.
“In my eyes, you are still a student, and so, I will not force you.
For a student like yourself, reaching this level of power is not easy.
If you truly aren’t willing to go, then guard this Ironblood Lavazone well for me, and I’ll go.” 

Lu Yin’s heart was moved.
He had nearly forgotten that the person before him was a mentor from the Astral Combat Academy. 

“Seventh Bro, don’t be soft-hearted! Don’t go looking to die!” the monkey shouted.

In a downcast tone, Lu Yin replied, “I’ll go.”

The monkey wailed in agony.

Commander Zhang’s eyes contained complex emotions.
“Nobody can escape this war, and since you’ve come to this battlefield, you must make sure that you are prepared to make sacrifices.” 

Lu Yin did not plan to become a sacrifice.
If he truly could not save his own life, then he would use his ultimate move: summoning his Master. 

Truthfully, Lu Yin was extremely curious about Mister Mu’s level of strength.
With just a wave of his hand, he had casually obliterated Blackless God’s strand of spiritual force.
Although that did not mean that Mister Mu could defeat Blackless God’s true body, it did not seem to be too unreasonable.
Also, Lu Yin remembered Blackless God’s shock upon seeing Mister Mu. 

The two clearly knew each other, and from what Lu Yin had seen, Mister Mu’s true strength was possibly greater than even Yuan Shi’s. 

Mister Mu was Lu Yin’s true hidden trump card.
