Star Odyssey Chapter 1236: Lu Yin's Self-esteem

Chapter 1236: Lu Yin's Self-esteem

Elder Tan hurriedly reacted and spoke in a loud and resolute voice. "Alliance Leader Lu is majestic and unparalleled throughout the universe! Xiao Tan is willing to follow the Alliance Leader to open up territory, and the direction of the leader's sword is where Xiao Tan will go, even if it kills me. Alliance Leader Lu will surely dominate the entire universe, control the Hall of Honor, suppress the Sixth Mainland, and conquer the Astral Beast Domain! Alliance Leader Lu is invincible.”

Lu Yin was stunned, as this manner of speech felt incredibly familiar.

Ku Wei had already arrived, and while he approached Lu Yin, Ku Wei had prepared a great deal of flattery that would showcase his own position while also flattering Yin's unparalleled incomparableness. However, Ku Wei remained silent, as this old man had just said everything that there was to say! This man was a master in the art of flattery!

The highest level of flattery was to flatter someone in such a way that no one else could add any further praise on!

This old man had completely shut down Ku Wei's means of flattering Lu Yin.

Lu Yin coughed. "Elder Tan, where are the Blaze Realm’s resources? Take me to check them out."

Elder Tan quickly replied, "Yes, Alliance Leader Lu. If the Blaze Realm’s ancestors came to know that the treasures they gathered would eventually be used by the Alliance Leader, then they would be honored even in death."

Ku Wei was stunned once again; these words were way too shameless! If anyone from the Blaze Realm heard this old man, they would definitely be angered to death. This old fart was completely shameless.

Lu Yin felt embarra.s.sed just hearing the man’s words.

"Seventh Bro, congratulations! You’ve managed to defeat Leader Hong, which means that you’ve defeated an Envoy while merely in the Hunter realm. Seventh Bro is truly invincible throughout the universe, and you will definitely become a Progenitor in the future! The Human Domain’s first Progenitor," Ku Wei loudly proclaimed. He felt a need to get some flattery in. He could not allow himself to be defeated by an old man, and since Ku Wei could no longer praise Lu Yin’s impressive accomplishments, then he needed to switch to Lu Yin’s combat strength.

As soon as the words “the Human Domain’s first Progenitor” were spoken, Elder Tan turned to stare at Ku Wei in shock, and he looked as though he had been struck by lightning. This youth was also a master of words, an absolute master of sycophancy! He had just shown Elder Tan a new way to use words and a new method of offering praise.

Ku Wei looked at Elder Tan in a provocative manner.

An inexplicable atmosphere descended upon the two men as their eyes met. It was as though they could each sense the strength of the other’s abilities, like they had each encountered a destined foe.

The Blaze Realm’s resources were stored in a pocket dimension not too far away from the Planet Red. It was hidden in such a way that no one would be able to find it without the a.s.sistance of one of the Blaze Realm’s powerhouses.

Although Elder Tan had been the weakest among the Blaze Realm’s Enlighters, he was still an Enlighter, which made him one of the few people qualified to enter the pocket dimension.

It was a very small pocket s.p.a.ce, and it was only the size of a city. However, it contained the Blaze Realm’s entire treasury.

When Lu Yin and the others entered the treasury, they just happened to see people from the Blaze Realm hurryingly storing the resources into cosmic rings.

"How impudent! Don’t you see that the leader of the Great Eastern Alliance has arrived? He’s from the Hall of Honor, the most talented Lockbreaker, the most powerful of the Ten Arbiters, and peerless within his entire generation! Why are you not rus.h.i.+ng over to kneel and beg for forgiveness?" Elder Tan shouted as he glared at the people from the Blaze Realm.

Ku Wei had been a step too late, which secretly annoyed him. He glared at Elder Tan.

The handful of Blaze Realm cultivators who had been focused on plundering what they could instantly panicked, and they hurriedly saluted Lu Yin while trembling. "We- we greet Alliance Leader Lu."

They had never considered that Lu Yin would manage to find this place so quickly after defeating the Blaze Realm. Was it not normal to first announce the situation to the outside universe?

Lu Yin unleashed his domain and spread it across the entire s.p.a.ce, and his eyes lit up with excitement. This place was the Blaze Realm’s entire treasury, and if nothing else, the star crystals and star essence here roughly numbered in the hundreds of millions. That was hundreds of millions of star essence, an amazing amount! It was nearly comparable to that mountain range of star essence on the Sixth Mainland’s transport continent.

This was the third time that Lu Yin had seen so much star essence at once. The first time had been on the transport continent that the Sixth Mainland had used to transport resources, and the second time was at the border warehouse in Endless Weave. During those first two times, the wealth that he had seen had had nothing to do with Lu Yin. However, this time, it all belonged to him.

Also, the star essence was the least valuable resource in the treasury. It was spread across the ground in a way where anyone could step on it. Besides the vast amount of star essence, Lu Yin also saw sourceboxes, natural treasures, various weapons, and various unknown ores, raw materials, and unique treasures.

The financial value contained within this s.p.a.ce was simply incalculable.

Lu Yin had the feeling that he might have suddenly become rich.

…

When Leader Hong died, the Blaze Realm had already fallen.

The combination of the Frostgate Army and the Great Eastern Alliance army was enough to sweep through the Blaze Realm.

Countless people throughout the Innerverse had been watching the battle in the Blaze Realm. The Hall of Honor had remained indifferent to the situation, the major Innerverse powers were wary of Lu Yin at the moment, and the other powers in Blazing Mist Flowzone had been rendered helpless to do anything other than sincerely hope that Leader Hong would not lose.

In Soulseal Flowzone, the Lingling clan’s matriarch, Ling Qiu, had a solemn expression. She had always looked down upon Leader Hong and his Blaze Realm. Even though the Blaze Realm was known as one of the Innerverse’s great powers, it had still been far weaker than the Lingling clan.

However, she had mostly looked down on Leader Hong for his personality and behavior, as he had made her feel sick. But at this moment, she had never more desperately wanted Leader Hong to be stronger, the more the better.

At this moment, an old woman approached and quietly said, "Matriarch, the Blaze Realm has been defeated, and both Leader Hong and Madam Lan are dead."

Ling Qiu was startled by the news, and she helplessly shook her head. "I still lost."

"Did Matriarch guess at something?" The old woman was surprised.

Ling Qiu replied, "If you look at all of Lu Yin’s attacks, he has only ever suffered very few losses. Once he actually makes a move, he is almost guaranteed to succeed. The child plans and executes his plans flawlessly."

The old woman frowned. "What should we do? Should the Purge be re-implemented?"

Ling Qiu was helpless. "I can condemn the Great Eastern Alliance by using the name of my Lingling Clan for arbitrarily instigating a war, but we can’t do anything else. Everything will have to wait until after ZENITH."

The old woman nodded. "Yes, Matriarch."

Ling Qiu stared in the direction of the Blaze Realm. "You may have gained the Blaze Realm, but we didn’t care about them at their peak, let alone when they were reduced to nothing more than a group of rabble. If not for your threat before ZENITH, the Innerverse would definitely teach you what it means to be unfathomable and what it means for something to be irreversible."

In the Sword Sect, still at the same pond, Sect Master Liu Qianjue quietly stared at the surface of the water and shook his head. "Sure enough, we still lost. Leon’s Armada, the united Outerverse, and the Royal Frost Continent are all forces that have been united behind you. Just do as you wish for now, as everything will be settled after ZENITH."

The Lingling clan, the Sword Sect, the Beast Tamers’ Divine Grade Hall, the Wen clan, and ChaosG.o.d Mountain had all silently accepted Lu Yin’s occupation of the Blaze Realm. In their eyes, Lu Yin was running around barefoot while unafraid of having no shoes. ZENITH was too important to them, and the more important it was, the more cautiously they behaved.

However, caution did not actually mean that they were surrendering. ZENITH was quickly approaching, and once that tournament concluded, they would finally settle their accounts with the Great Eastern Alliance.

The Innerverse was not that easily entered, and it was a joke for Lu Yin to think that he could simply combine the strength of the Outerverse to fight against many of the Innerverse’s major forces.

The masters of the eight great flowzones were each capable of single-handedly crus.h.i.+ng the Blaze Realm.

Leader Hong’s words had been true; Lu Yin’s a.s.sault on the Blaze Realm had revealed all of his cards, and he would not be able to use any of these methods again when he fought against the Innerverse.

Leon’s Armada, the Royal Frost Continent, and the Outerverse’s Allied Forces would all be targeted by the Innerverse’s major forces. None of those powers were led by fools.

The Blaze Realm’s defeat had not scared off the great powers of the Innerverse, but it had absolutely terrified the smaller organizations scattered around the Blaze Realm, such as Northline Flowzone, Tempest Flowzone, Ascension Flowzone, and more. They were all scared that the Great Eastern Alliance would target them next. Though, of course, the most nervous of all were the Ross Empire and the sylvan dragon clan.

This led to the situation where, after the Blaze Realm was defeated, all of the nearby organizations united to denounce the Great Eastern Alliance. Additionally, all of their people within the Hall of Honor began to speak up about suppressing the Great Eastern Alliance.

Even in the Outerverse, Elder Lohar, Elder Daggs, and many others were sent a lot of information, as many people were hoping that the elders would step forward to suppress Lu Yin. The Hall of Honor’s elders in the Innerverse were similarly bombarded with messages from all of the major forces in the Innerverse.

The powers leading the eight great flowzones were not afraid of the Great Eastern Alliance, and they remained unruffled. They had already laid plans to deal with Lu Yin after ZENITH, but the smaller powers and organizations from the smaller flowzones were ignorant of such matters. Since they did not even qualify to be a part of the discussions regarding ZENITH, they were all scared to death of the Great Eastern Alliance.

The Great Eastern Alliance’s occupation of the Blaze Realm had the same effect as a boulder being violently thrown into a calm lake; waves of disruption rippled through the entire Innerverse.

The nearby flowzones all gathered their troops and cultivators together while keeping a wary eye on the Blaze Realm, with the Ross Empire and the sylvan dragon clan taking the lead. Although they had been blocked off by Leon’s Armada, their hostility towards the Great Eastern Alliance was still growing greater and greater.

News of this incident quickly spread to the Neoverse, and although it was shocking news, most of the people there did not care at all. As far as most of them were concerned, both the Innerverse and Outerverse were mere wastelands.

…

In the Blaze Realm, inside the treasury pocket s.p.a.ce, Lu Yin walked atop the star essence, which was a very refres.h.i.+ng feeling.

When he had received his first piece of star essence, he had felt rich, but later on, his eyes had been opened.

When he received the quintessence of millions of cubic stars, he had truly felt like he was a rich man, but then, his horizons had opened up again.

After he obtained tens of millions of star essence, he had been absolutely certain that he was rich, but after improving his universal armor, his horizons had been broadened yet again.

Now, as Lu Yin looked out at the star essence that was spread across the ground, he secretly warned himself not to grow proud. His die’s three pips: Enhance, was a bottomless pit. At this moment, if he decided to upgrade his universal armor even further, he would likely run out of funds.

He felt that his perspective had reached a high enough level.

Inadvertently, he looked over at Ku Wei, and he found that Ku Wei did not seem surprised by the treasury at all. Did Ku Wei not find this to be a large sum? He must have seen more than this before. After all, he was from the Ku family, and the Seven Courts’ wealth had to vastly exceed the Blaze Realm’s.

Ku Wei had an even greater level of perspective than Lu Yin, which did not feel good. Lu Yin’s self-esteem would not allow himself to be seen as a beggar.

After thinking about it, Lu Yin pretended to be dissatisfied. "Why is this all of the Blaze Realm’s resources? The Blaze Realm is a major power, so it doesn’t make sense for there to be so little,” Lu Yin lightly commented.

Ku Wei was just about to open his mouth when Elder Tan spoke up to reply, "Of course these resources are not worthy of Alliance Leader, and they are not even enough to count as Alliance Leader's pocket money. However, when the Sixth Mainland invaded, the costs of fighting back were high. Also, the Outerverse was cut off from the Innerverse for several years, which led to a reduction of income. Over the years, we have depleted our reserves, and a great deal was also consumed to activate the defensive formation. I can only ask Alliance Leader Lu to forgive such offenses."

Ku Wei was infuriated that he had been upstaged yet again by the old man. "What pocket money? Even twice this money would not be enough for Seventh Bro’s usage. This can’t even count as pocket money."

Elder Tan stared at Ku Wei, provocation in his eyes.

Ku Wei raised his head higher.

Lu Yin listened to them both and thought for a bit, but they were actually right; his die’s three pips was too terrifying with its star essence consumption rate.
