Star Odyssey Chapter 2790: Lu Yin's Attitude

Chapter 2790: Lu Yin’s Att.i.tude

After hearing Dragonturtle's declaration, Sovereign Lotus immediately looked at Jiang Qingyue, who instantly shouted, "Shut up!"

Bai Xian'er smiled. "Brother Xiaoxuan, congratulations."

Lu Yin understood that Dragonturtle was trying to improve his reputation, but Bai Xian’er’s congratulations caused Lu Yin’s expression to grow cooler. "Have you been in the Cyclic Universe?"

"Yes." Bai Xian'er smiled.

"So is this also where you had your Semi-Progenitor breakthrough?" Lu Yin asked.

Bai Xian'er's eyes sparkled, but her smile remained the same, or possibly even grew larger. "Yes."

Lu Yin stared at her for a long moment.

This complicated things greatly.

Clearly, Bai Xian’er cultivation method was exceptional, for how else could she possibly absorb the Cyclic Universe’s stellular energy? How had she managed to survive a Semi-Progenitor tribulation in the Cyclic Universe? This should have been impossible.

Of course, it was also possible that the Great Sovereign had granted Bai Xian’er power and that she had abandoned the Origin Universe’s energy. This was the option that Lu Yin hoped to be true, as it would simplify things greatly, but deep inside, he already knew that it was the first possibility.

Bai Xian'er was the only one who could be regarded as Lu Yin’s equal, as she was able to ignore the power in his chest. No one else had ever been able to do that.

"Hey, hey, hey, boy, look over here! Over here! This is where your wife is!" Dragonturtle shouted.

Lu Yin was speechless, and Jiang Qingyue glared at Dragonturtle. "If you keep talking nonsense, I won't take you with me when I go out."

Dragonturtle just sneered at her.

An incredible wave of power arrived.

Lu Yin's expression changed, as the Great Sovereign had arrived.

Everyone turned to face the same direction, solemn expressions on all their faces.

Even Lord Xu was no different.

The Great Sovereign was the strongest human currently alive, and no one could understand the limits of the Great Sovereign’s cultivation. There were no peers for the master of the Sixverse a.s.sociation, which was why some even referred to the person as the co-master of humanity.

Lu Yin slowly clenched his fists. Was he finally going to see the Great Sovereign?

This was the person who had sent Luo Shan to the Endless Frontier by merely ordering the Monarch to be punished, and he could also decide the fate of the Heavens Sect with no more than a word. This was someone from the same generation as the Origin Progenitor, and Lu Yin was finally going to meet this powerhouse.

He had long wanted to meet the Great Sovereign.

"Greetings, Great Sovereign." Everyone bowed low.

Lord Xu solemnly said, "Greetings, Senior Great Sovereign."

"Are you Lu Yin? One of Lu Yuan’s descendants?" A voice was heard from every direction. It was impossible to determine where it came from, or if it even belonged to a man or a woman.

This was the Great Sovereign’s voice.

Lu Yin slowly bowed. "This junior is Lu Yin. Greetings, Senior Great Sovereign."

Lu Yuan was the founder of the Lu family, and also one of the Three Realms Six Dao—the Dao Monarch of the Fifth Mainland.

"You look like him."

Lu Yin remained bowing as he silently listened.

"While you may look a great deal like Lu Yuan, I hope that you do not have the same personality. He was quite rude to me."

Lu Yin's face twitched. Was this a reminder, or a threat?

"I agreed to exile the Lu family, and I was the one who blocked Lu Yuan's perception of the outside world. Do you hate me?"

Everyone subconsciously glanced at Lu Yin.

Jiang Qingyue frowned. Every sentence that the Great Sovereign spoke was antagonizing Lu Yin. What was the purpose of this?

Lord Xu remained calm. He had already done what he could, and he also knew that it was impossible for him or anyone else to change the Great Sovereign's att.i.tude.

Lu Yin said nothing.

"Child of the Lu family, I asked, do you hate me?"

Lu Yin continued bowing, but he still said nothing.

Food Sage’s eyebrows rose high. This boy had incredible courage to refuse to answer the Great Sovereign's question.

Sovereign Lotus spoke up to rebuke Lu Yin. "Child of the Lu family, answer!"

Lu Yin still said nothing.

Nutjob Lu's eyes flared, and his violent energy swept towards Lu Yin.

Lord Xu glanced sideways at the madman, and voidforce energy s.h.i.+elded Lu Yin’s side.

Nutjob Lu and the Voidlord looked at each other, violence and threats filling both men’s eyes.

Lord Xu frowned. This man was truly insane.

He looked back at Lu Yin. The youth was being incredibly disrespectful to the Great Sovereign by refusing to speak.

"Senior Great Sovereign, my father asked me to send you his greetings." Jiang Qingyue suddenly spoke up as she bowed to the Great Sovereign.

"As expected, all members of the Lu family have the same att.i.tude. Child of the Lu family, you disgust me."

Lu Yin’s eyes flashed, and he slowly straightened back up. He stopped bowing, though he still refused to answer. He simply listened.

In terms of seniority, the Great Sovereign ranked above even the founding ancestor of Lu Yin’s family. In terms of either strength or cultivation, he had no confidence whatsoever. If not for his trust in Mister Mu’s a.s.surances, Lu Yin would not have the qualifications to maintain his dignity before the Great Sovereign.

Lu Yin’s behavior was only possible because he trusted Mister Mu, but that did not mean that Lu Yin would be rude or say offensive things to the Great Sovereign. The day that Lu Yin was capable of standing straight before the Great Sovereign due to his own strength, he would show a completely different att.i.tude, and that day would surely come.

Sovereign Ninth Lotus bowed. "Master, please allow me to teach this arrogant child of the Lu family a lesson."

"Sovereign Lotus, if Senior Great Sovereign wishes him to be taught a lesson, why would you need to do a thing? Senior Great Sovereign’s word is perfectly reliable, as a single word can alter the rules of the universe. This child of the Lu family is nothing but an ant, and he cannot enter Senior's sight. Taking action is nothing more than bullying the weak, and if word leaks, this will not help your reputation," Lord Xu said.

Bai Xian'er lifted her head. "Master, perhaps he was intimidated by your power."

Lu Yin's expression changed. Had Bai Xian'er just called the Great Sovereign master? Had she been accepted as the Great Sovereign’s disciple?

"Child of the Lu family, do you wish to become the ruler of the Origin Universe?"

Lu Yin finally spoke. "Yes."

Nutjob Lu stepped forward. "How can a mere Demi-Immortal deserve the position of ruler of a universe? This junior has a more suitable candidate."

Lu Yin looked at Nutjob Lu, his eyes frigid.

"Who is that?"

Nutjob Lu replied, "Bai w.a.n.gyuan, of the Origin Universe’s Celestial Frost Sect.

"Not only is he the master of the Origin Universe’s Celestial Frost Sect, but he is also one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. It is perfectly reasonable for such a person to become the ruler of the Origin Universe.”

"Lu Xiaoxuan, do you have any objection to allowing Bai w.a.n.gyuan to become the ruler of the universe? He is your senior, and even your father, Lu Qi, needed to treat Bai w.a.n.gyuan as a senior when he saw him."

Lu Yin calmly retorted, "Is there something wrong with your head? That man is an enemy of my Lu family. How could I not have any objections?"

Nutjob Lu sneered. "And yet he is far more qualified to become the ruler of the Origin Universe than you. Senior isn’t disgusted by the sight of him. If you object, then fight him and see who is the more suitable candidate.”

"The ruler of a universe should be the strongest, just like Senior Great Sovereign or the Voidlord."

No one could argue with the madman’s words. If the ruler of a universe was not the most powerful individual in that universe, then how could the people of that universe be willing to follow them?

"I have never seen such a shameless person before," a cold voice spoke up.

Everyone slowly turned to look at the speaker and saw Jiang Qingyue.

Nutjob Lu's eyes blazed red. "What did you just say?"

Dragonturtle stood up. "It was us! What about it?"

Jiang Qingyue met Nutjob Lu's eyes, and frowned. This man’s aura gave her a very uncomfortable feeling. From what she could sense, this man was synonymous with destruction and destruction. "I said that you are shameless."

Nutjob Lu stepped forward, and a terrifying power swept toward Jiang Qingyue.

Lord Xu shouted, "Stop!"

Even as he spoke, he blocked Nutjob Lu's power.

Dragonturtle stretched his neck. "You dare to attack the Lord of Lightning's daughter? You must be eager to die."

Jiang Qingyue held Dragonturtle back while staring back at Nutjob Lu without flinching. "This Bai w.a.n.gyuan that you mentioned is from the Origin Universe, and his status is above even that of Lu Yin's father, and yet you want to have Lu Yin and this Bai w.a.n.gyuan fight? How is this not utterly shameless?”

Nutjob Lu snorted contemptuously. "Then he should abandon his ambitions of becoming the ruler of the Origin Universe. Why should a mere brat become the ruler?"

Lu Yin asked, "Where is Bai w.a.n.gyuan?"

Nutjob Lu was startled by the question. He had actually been waiting for Bai w.a.n.gyuan to arrive, but where was the man?

"Sage Stone, where is Bai w.a.n.gyuan?" the Great Sovereign asked.

Lord Xu smiled. "One must be acknowledged by Senior Great Sovereign to become the ruler of the Origin Universe, and yet Bai w.a.n.gyuan has not deigned to even appear. Either he does not wish to become the ruler of the Origin Universe, or he does not care about Senior Great Sovereign."

Nutjob Lu shot back, "How could Bai w.a.n.gyuan be disrespectful to the Great Sovereign?"

"Then why is he not here?" Lu Yin shouted.

...

At the same time, the flames of war had spread to cover the entirety of the Perennial World’s Higher Realm.

Beneath the w.a.n.g family’s floating continent, arrows shot high into the sky, aimed at the landma.s.s that looked like a hand.

w.a.n.g Zheng's scalp went numb. "A Progenitor... A Progenitor is attacking! An enemy Progenitor is attacking–!"

Chen Le was shrouded within a black robe. He raised a hand to loose another arrow. This was Lu Yin’s task for the Monarch: to attack the w.a.n.g family.

Orbs of light revolved above the w.a.n.g family’s homeland. These orbs had the strength of a Progenitor, and while Chen Le’s arrows were capable of piercing the floating continent, the orbs of light swept the arrows away.

Chen Le's expression changed, and fear entered his eyes as he looked up at the orbs of light. What sort of power was this?

A figure arrived. "How dare you attack my w.a.n.g family! You are seeking death!"

An old man had appeared, and while he looked much older than w.a.n.g Fan, he was a younger Progenitor from the w.a.n.g family who had always stayed in the Dominion Realm. His name was w.a.n.g Jian.

After Lu Yin had evacuated the Three Monarchs Universe, Specter Progenitor, Bai Sheng, and Xia Qin had all returned to the Perennial World. However, just one day later, they had returned to the Sixverse a.s.sociation. The Great Sovereign had ordered the Origin Universe to send half of their Progenitors to reinforce the Sixverse a.s.sociation, and this order could not be ignored. For that reason, the Progenitors had to leave again.

At the moment, the only Progenitors that were present in the w.a.n.g family were w.a.n.g Fan and w.a.n.g Jian.

Chen Le attacked again, and w.a.n.g Jian left the Dominion Realm. Chen Le looked up, only to see the old man disappear. However, while the Monarch could not see anything, he felt a surge of danger, so he quickly dodged aside.

The place he had just been standing was torn apart by the Four Arts: Celestial Blade.

The w.a.n.g family was known for their Four Arts, and the Celestial Blade was famous for being an incredibly powerful attack.

"Who are you? How dare you attack my w.a.n.g family!" w.a.n.g Jian roared as he lashed out with a palm strike. This time, he used Sit and Forget.

Chen Le stared upwards, and his mind went blank. Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to be doing?

At the last moment, a ma.s.sive mountain appeared in front of the Monarch, blocking w.a.n.g Jian's palm strike. Only then did Chen Le react, and he retreated backwards as he looked upwards in fear.

Was this the power of the Origin Universe’s Progenitors? Why did Chen Le feel such an odd and terrifying sensation from him?

Master Shan stepped out from behind Chen Le. The man was also wearing a black robe that hid him. "Be careful. The w.a.n.g family's Progenitors are very difficult opponents, and w.a.n.g Fan has not even shown up yet."

Chen Le took a deep breath. "I understand."

In another part of the Higher Realm, Shenwu's Sky was also attacked. Cloudflow took action in that place, but he did not use his own power or his Thousand Streams Shatter the Dao, out of fear of being recognized and exposed. Fortunately, he had already learned some of the Heavens Sect’s sword skills during his time there, and at this moment, he used the Blacktop Sword Intent, which was the sword technique that Zhang Dingtian had inherited from the Blacktop Dojo.

Cloudflow was a master swordsman, so he had easily picked up the sword technique.

The master who had created the Blacktop Sword Intent had never dreamed that a Progenitor-level powerhouse would one day learn his technique. After all, the creator of the battle technique had been far from that cultivation level himself.

When wielded by Cloudflow, the Blacktop Sword Intent erupted with a different level of power, and the unpredictable battle technique forced Xia Shenji to use his Shenwu World.

Even so, the gap between Cloudflow and Xia Shenji was too great, and the Blacktop Sword Intent could not come even close to measuring up to the Shenwu World. The winner would be determined in just a few moves.

"Where has a Progenitor like you come from that you dare to attack my Shenwu's Sky?" Xia Shenji shouted as his sword fell, horrifying Cloudflow. Aren’t the Origin Universe’s Progenitors a bit too strong? I can’t do anything!
