Star Odyssey

Chapter 503



“More and more people are arriving!” Northgate Gang couldn’t help himself from yelling out while staring up at the sky in fear. Spacecraft descended one after another, quite a few carrying experts from the Eight Great Flowzones.

There were probably at least two thousand Limiteers gathered across the mountain range, and competition was even fiercer than the fight for Pyrolyte Mountain. 

Lu Yin stated, “We’re not leaving. We’re going to stay here.” 

Hai Qiqi pursed her lips, looking guilty. She didn’t even look at Lu Yin as she was feeling incredibly apologetic.

Northgate Gang and the rest were shocked. “Stay here? You want to wait to die? Those Daynight guys are coming here!” 

Lu Yin hung his head. No matter how smart the small fry like him tried to be, there was no way for them to escape from the palm of the powerful. He had understood this very well in the past, and these current events had only reconfirmed those thoughts. Status? Background? All that was nothing. The only thing that Lu Yin could trust in was himself. 

It was way too difficult to take control of one’s own fate, and such a task would take a long time to accomplish. At this moment, however, he could at least control the fates of these people. On Planet Pyrolyte, he was invincible. 

It didn’t matter what the results of the competition for pyrolyte ended up being, as he was destined to become an enemy of all of the large organizations. Perhaps it was his fate to oppose everyone. The Sea King had schemed against him despite being unwilling to meddle in the battles of the Outerverse. There was no way that the Sea King himself would be able to join the battle… In that case, the only thing that Lu Yin could do was ask Leon's Armada for help. Lu Yin smiled wryly. He had no idea that this was how he was going to end up heading towards the Cosmic Sea. 

He wasn’t worried about whether or not he’d be able to get there safely. While he had no idea how powerful Mister Mu was, that powerhouse should be able to safely send Lu Yin to the Cosmic Sea. 

Lu Yin might never be able to return to the quiet life that he had once had after leaving Planet Pyrolyte. Instead, it seemed that the Cosmic Sea and the rumored Neoverse was the destination for him! 

In that case, he would make the battle on Planet Pyrolyte even more dazzling!

So far, the people from Northline Flowzone had not really attracted much attention because there were far too many cultivators fighting at this moment.

Lu Yin and the rest quietly watched the battle develop from the mountain range. They did not participate in the battle, and nobody tried to attack them either.

Sometimes, he found things rather difficult to understand. The cultivators from small organizations fought so hard, but in the end, everything would just be taken away by the major powers such the Sword Sect. What was the point in making such a huge fuss? 

However, there were still quite a few smart people. As several spacecraft formed the words, “Stop, unite,” the battles throughout the mountain range gradually settled down. 

The smaller organizations seemed to have decided upon something, and nearly two thousand Limiteers stopped fighting as they all looked up at the sky.

A spacecraft entered the Planet Pyrolyte’s atmosphere before exploding above the mountain range. A handsome guy came out of the wreckage. He glanced down at everyone and grinned. “I wonder if there’s anyone who still remembers me, Lord Pisces.” 

Everyone eyed the man. Dark red smoke billowed into the sky, making the entire scene appear rather desolate. There was even a bloody smell wafting about. At this moment, the man seemed like an integral part of the mountain range. 

Lu Yin eyed the man seriously. This guy is… somewhat strong.

“Lord Pisces? I remember now! He’s an ultra-genius who lived a century ago! He once defeated a Cruiser while in the Limiteer realm and entered the Ten Arbiters council back then! He was one of the council members!” someone exclaimed.

After hearing that explanation, quite a few people remembered hearing about this person, and they stared at him in shock. There were rumors that this guy had become an Explorer long ago, but had not become a Cruiser yet. What was he doing here? And… was he still a Limiteer?

Lord Pisces looked up and arrogantly said, “I’m glad that you still remember me.”

Somewhere in the mountain range, somebody hesitantly spoke up. “He wasn’t in the Ten Arbiters Council. It was the Universal Youth Council back then.”

A fair number of people glanced at the person.

That person stared up at Lord Pisces in fear, but he managed to eke out, “Only the ten members of this era have the right to be called the Ten Arbiters. He was just a Universal Youth Council member back then, so he can’t be considered as one of them.”

“Exactly! The Ten Arbiters Council now is completely different from that of the previous generations. Power is now truly in the hands of the young, and there are also those ten monsters! In the past, the councilors were Realmbreaker powerhouses, but they were nowhere as powerful as the Ten Arbiters of today.” 

“I heard that Arbiter Zhenwu once tore apart the combined attack of quite a few councilors from the past generation. That was the moment that truly set the current generation apart from past ones.”

High up in the sky, Lord Pisces grew serious. The air around him distorted, and a huge shockwave swept across the area, shocking everybody.

“Cut the crap! I’ve been tasked with organizing you all to fight together against the Sword Sect, Wen clan, and Daynight clan!” Lord Pisces announced loudly. 

Within the mountain range, numerous cultivators stared up at the sky as countless spacecraft formed characters to show the positions of the various organizations. There was no point in the present Limiteers fighting amongst each other, as only by banding together would they be able to prevent the major powers from monopolizing all the resources in this place. They were going to have to work together to chase them out.

Coincidentally, powerhouses from the Second Grade Hall had also appeared. Kuang Wang walked right to the front; the serious injuries that he had received from Ling Que had mostly recovered by now. 

While the Second Grade Hall was an organization that ranked at the bottom of the Beast Tamers Flowzone, it was still a power that was considered as a part of the Divine Grade Hall. In some sense, the Beast Tamers Flowzone could be considered an organization all on its own—which was the Divine Grade Hall. Beyond that, it had further split itself into the First and the Second Grade Halls. For this reason, the Second Grade Hall could absolutely represent the Divine Grade Hall, which meant that Kuang Wang was actually a powerhouse from the Divine Grade Hall. 

After seeing Kuang Wang and the others arrive, the cultivators from the other organizations started to get antsy. There was a very large gap between geniuses from these large organizations and ordinary cultivators like them. Even if they had a few geniuses who had comprehended domains or battle force, they still weren’t confident in being able to handle Kuang Wang at all. Everybody couldn’t help themselves from looking at Lord Pisces.

Lord Pisces slowly landed on the ground, eyeing Kuang Wang and the others. “You’ve already taken a lot of the ore on Planet Pyrolyte. Several organizations have decided to band together, and we’re not going to let you continue on in this way!” 

Kuang Wang looked calm. “You’re an Explorer who reduced your own power level, right? Do you seriously think that you’ll be able to go up against the Sword Sect and the others after paying such a huge price?”

Lord Pisces looked grim. He had been an Explorer, but he had reduced his cultivation by an entire realm and would never be able to freely enter space again. This was something incredibly cruel for him. Only by guarding this mountain range and achieving some accomplishments would he be able to live out the rest of his life in safety and give his children a chance. While he’d been famous in his younger days, he had never been able to become a Cruiser, which was why he had been reduced to his current state. This was something that he wished for his children to never have to deal with. 

He might look arrogant, but he had already given up.

The organization that he was part of had promised him that, as long as he was able to retain control of the mountain range, his children would be nurtured by the sect. Thus, he had to do this no matter what. 

“I’m not the only one standing against the Sword Sect. All of us are,” Lord Pisces declared.

Behind him, about two thousand Limiteers bellowed furiously. It didn’t matter what kind of grudges their organizations might hold against each other. All of that had been temporarily set aside in favor of protecting the mountain range. They all had to work together. 

Far in the distance, Xi Yue and the others had also arrived, and they stared at the mountain range in shock. The small organizations had been driven into a corner, but would their efforts be of any use?

Even further away, Ling Que and the cultivators from the Wen clan were quickly drawing close, as were those from the Daynight clan and Sword Sect. That mountain range was where most of the cultivators on the planet were gathering, and the most powerful Limiteers had all arrived.

“They’re here,” Northgate Gang spoked with a quivering voice as he eyed the crowd coming their way. They were the cultivators from the Wen clan, and Ling Que was at the front.

The arrival of the Wen clan caused the two thousand or so Limiteers to quiver in fear. Rather than the Wen clan, it would be more accurate to say that Ling Que was the one who had caught everybody’s attention. 

Kuang Wang’s expression changed, and he stared intensely at Ling Que. This person had severely injured him with just one attack, and the man’s strength was unfathomable.

Lord Pisces’ eye twitched. The most difficult part of his job was right in front of him, but he had a way to deal with him. 

Wen Qing’er and the rest followed behind Ling Que and simply observed the calm mountain range, seemingly ready to fight at a moment’s notice. Things could erupt at any time.

“You can go now,” Ling Que said as he coldly surveyed the area ahead of him. He even ignored Lord Pisces—that person was just an old piece of trash from a century ago. The universe had gone through a revolution since then. After the Ten Arbiters had arrived, the younger generation of modern times had completely transformed compared to the top youths of the past. The two eras were completely different. 

In the past, Lord Pisces would have been considered invincible since he was an Explorer who had reduced his realm to the Limiteer realm. Now, however, he was nothing to Ling Que.

Lord Pisces could tell that Ling Que was looking down on him, but he managed to control the mounting fury within him. “We can leave, but are you enough to stop Mu Rong on your own?”

Ling Que frowned.

“We can work together—you, me, the two thousand or so cultivators here, as well as everyone from the Second Grade Hall. Shall we work together to first take care of the Sword Sect?” Lord Pisces proposed. This was his true intent, and it was also what the many organizations had agreed on as a plan, though it wasn’t actually a real plan at all. They wanted to bait the major powers into fighting each other, leaving the final outcome up to fate since nobody was confident in defeating either Mu Rong or Ling Que. 

These two could not be defeated by mere numbers unless the crowd possessed a group spiritual force attack technique like those wielded by the Daynight clan members. Besides, Ling Que had already experienced one of those attacks before, and he would not be caught unawares again. 

Wen Qian’er seemed interested. They had lost the previous battle, and Mu Rong was not someone who could be defeated by Ling Que alone.

Ling Que narrowed his eyes. Working together? That might be able to work, but resorting to such methods was rather embarrassing for him.

Elsewhere, the people from the Daynight clan arrived. Once again, they attracted everybody’s attention.

Nightqueen Yanqing gazed at the peaceful mountain range and furrowed her eyebrows. Were those pieces of trash actually going to work together?

Lord Pisces looked at her and yelled, “Ladies and gentlemen of the Daynight clan, what do you think about working together to defeat Mu Rong? Otherwise, nobody will be able to stop him.”

Nightqueen Yanqing’s eyes flickered, and she glanced over at Ling Que.

He glanced over at her as well. Though neither of them spoke any words, not attacking was an answer in and of itself. They were going to team up.

At this moment, a sharp aura could be felt off in the distance. The Sword Sect had finally arrived.

Liu Shaoqiu and Liu Xiaoyun were right at the front while Yōu Ye’er was excitedly following behind them. Mu Rong, however, was at the back of the group, looking as calm as ever. 

Mu Rong’s appearance was like a huge rock weighing down on them. Right now, the most powerful Limiteers in the universe had officially gathered at this mountain range. 

Above the planet, the large organizations were all looking at the same place.

Lord Pisces took a deep breath and glanced over at everyone in front of him. He shouted, “Ladies and gentlemen of the Sword Sect, are you trying to take this mountain range?”

Liu Xiaoyun eyed the man in the sky. “So what if we are?”

Lord Pisces looked stern. “You have already gained control of Pyrolyte Mountain, and the ore inside this mountain range should be split evenly between the other organizations. Is the Sword Sect trying to take this ore as well? Aren’t you pushing it too far?”

Liu Xiaoyun ignored him, having already understood what was going on at this moment. She simply turned towards Mu Rong. He stepped forward. “If you want to stop me, then I’ll just have to watch you try.” 

He completely ignored Lord Pisces. From the very beginning, all the plans about banding together had been nothing more than mere talk. What would truly decide everything was a select number of elites.
