Star Odyssey Chapter 2509 – Wu Tian Stone Disk

Chapter 2509 – Wu Tian Stone Disk

Lu Yin looked ahead at a display that showed a woman standing across from a corpse king in outer s.p.a.ce. As the corpse king attacked, stars shattered. With a casual wave of the monster’s hand, the void cracked as spatial tears extended into the horizon. The corpse king’s scarlet eyes stared down from above, sending s.h.i.+vers down one's spine.

The woman's appearance was blurry, but Lu Yin could see that, when she opened her arms, a green light radiated out from her that gradually enveloped the nearby area. Before long, the green light transformed into a towering tree that exuded a divine aura. The tree’s branches coiled together to form a giant hand that grabbed the corpse king.

The monster roared something unintelligible, and its scarlet eyes changed to gray, then green, and finally stopped at red. Its physical strength had risen to a shocking level, and it seemed palpable even through the display.

Despite its incredible strength after completing the Corpse King Transformation, the corpse king was still caught by the tree’s hand. The hand clenched into a fist, and there was not a single gap between the fingers. The corpse king was crushed to bits.

The tree branches then dissolved into specks of green light that drifted off into outer s.p.a.ce. It was both a beautiful and ethereal sight.

Lu Yin was startled. Had a single attack destroyed that corpse king?

"Are all of the women of the Arboreal Realm that tough? I'd better take them off of my list of potential partners." Luo Lao'er felt his legs grow weak after seeing the corpse king be crushed to death. He quickly looked away from the display. "Brother-in-law, look, that's the Transcendent Universe."

Lu Yin looked at the adjacent display, which was showing the Transcendent Universe's Bestowal Art. A beam of black light pierced a corpse king on that image. The attack was clean and sharp, but less visually impressive than the Arboreal Realm's demonstration.

Shouts of amazement rang out, and Lu Yin turned to see what the commotion was about. The display behind him showed a stone disk. The disk expanded, and as it did so, the display zoomed out to keep the entire disk in view.

The stone disk was so large that it now covered an entire region of s.p.a.ce, but it continued to grow larger. Before long, it seemed as though the disk was the only thing that could be seen, completely replacing outer s.p.a.ce. After that, it started to give off an incredible pressure that pushed downwards.

Stars shattered like beans as the void contorted, unable to withstand the power of the stone disk. The countless corpse kings beneath the disk were almost instantly annihilated.

The solitary stone disk cleaned up an entire battlefield.

The scene caused Lu Yin's eyes to grow wide from amazement. He had never seen such a ma.s.sive stone disk before, but it seemed to be a weapon that was strong enough to destroy an entire battlefield. However, there was no way to know if there had been any truly powerful corpse kings on that battlefield.

At that moment, the scene started to replay, and a colossal pair of scarlet eyes appeared in outer s.p.a.ce.

Lu Yin reflexively stepped forward. That was one of Aeternus’s cosmic doors that allowed them to freely travel between parallel universes.

As soon as the enormous eye appeared, corpse kings started to show up as well, and they started to spread out.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the distance, standing atop a stone disk.

An unending horde of corpse kings streamed into the region, shattering the void with their attacks. These attacks were apparently able to ignore distance, and they were at least comparable to the power of an Envoy.

The stone disk beneath the person's feet released an attack, and it smashed all of the approaching corpse kings apart.

Then, a giant corpse king emerged from the cosmic door, and s.p.a.ce itself trembled at the monster’s appearance. A single breath from the enormous corpse king shattered a planet. This creature was no weaker than the red-eyed corpse king that had used the Corpse King Transformation against the woman from the Arboreal Realm in the other display.

The giant corpse king took a single step forward, but that was enough for it to appear right in front of the stone disk. Then, it released a punch.

The fist smashed into the stone disk, but the first thing that happened was that the fist shattered, followed by the corpse king’s head. There seemed to be no resistance from the corpse king as the stone disk destroyed it before the body collapsed and fell.

After that, more giant corpse kings appeared.

The human rose up from the stone disk and raised a hand. The motion caused the disk to start growing, which was the point in the video where Lu Yin had started watching. The disk grew larger and larger until it replaced s.p.a.ce itself, crus.h.i.+ng all of the corpse kings.

"I know that battle!" someone exclaimed. "That person’s Void Intent from the Voidforce Universe! That’s his final battle."

"Void Intent? The person who controlled the Wu Tian Stone Disk as his life-bound voidforce puppet?" someone else spoke up.

Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. Wu Tian Stone Disk? Wu Tian?

"That’s right; that's him! He was strong enough to stall Aeternus! Unfortunately, corpse kings with power levels of several million appeared from the cosmic door after the events shown in the video, and they managed to kill him. After he died, another powerhouse from the Voidforce Universe appeared, but they were only able to retrieve the Wu Tian Stone Disk."

"What a legend! That’s such a shame."

"I want to join the Voidforce School and find the strongest voidforce puppet that suits me.”

"I want to as well." 

Lu Yin stared at the screen, carefully observing the stone disk.

Wu Tian Stone Disk? Is it just a coincidence? Wu Tian had been one of the Three Realms Six Dao, and he had been an expert equal to the G.o.d of Death. Why had his name appeared in the Voidforce Universe?

In the Fifth Mainland, Destiny had an impressive reputation despite also being known for her elusiveness. She had left behind her Books of Destiny, as well as fatesand, and there were even individuals like the members of the Starsibyl Sect who had made divination well known. After the people from the Heavens Sect era had been released from the sourcebox, especially Destina, everyone had come to know of Destiny, whether they believed in divination or not. At the very least, Destiny was regarded as one of the strongest powerhouses in the Heavens Sect era.

The G.o.d of Death had become renowned throughout the Fifth Mainland even earlier. The Specter Clan was the most famous group to have received the G.o.d of Death’s power, but Lu Yin’s use of the G.o.d of Death Transformation had caused the ancient powerhouse’s fame to surpa.s.s even Destiny’s.

Compared to the other two Three Realms, Wu Tian had rarely even been mentioned.

Wu Tian was the person who had developed the usage of weapons and techniques for them, and he had also left behind the Sword Monument. However, the Sword Monument was the only proof of Wu Tian’s existence, aside from Undying G.o.d, whose name was Wu Xing. There were no other records of Wu Tian.

Wu Tian had not left behind any battle techniques or invincible legacies. He had been just as low-key as Progenitor Ku of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas era.

Lu Yin had never dreamed that he would hear the name “Wu Tian” in a parallel universe.

Did that stone disk have some connection to Wu Tian?

"Brother-in-law, the Lost Clan's style of fighting really is truly unique. No wonder people call it a planned-out game of death," Luo Lao'er commented.

Lu Yin followed the young man’s gaze to see a strange scene on another display.

A corpse king stood in the middle of a desert. It looked around, but there was no one in sight.

The sun blazed overhead, and the air burned. Fire spread across the desert. Suddenly, another figure emerged from the sand. Sand gathered together to form a sword that slashed sideways to cut the corpse king.

The corpse king was extremely powerful, and it easily shattered the sand sword with a single palm, and it even pierced the image of the human who had just appeared. However, the image also turned into sand, and that sand then clung to the corpse king's body. As the temperature in the desert rose, each grain of sand exploded, eventually killing the corpse king.

After the corpse king died, the desert twisted and transformed into a card. A man casually reached out to grab the card and shove it into his pocket. The display only ever showed the man’s back.

The card appeared unremarkable.

"That’s how the Lost Clan fights. They save their most optimal battlefield onto a card, and then once someone is captured and sent to that particular battlefield, escape becomes impossible, unless there is a significant difference in strength. In the war between the Sixverse a.s.sociation and Aeternus, these cards are the traps that the Aeternals fear the most. Many powerful corpse kings have fallen to these traps. The battles end with the card and its owner leaving, while the corpse kings simply vanish forever," Luo Lao'er quietly explained.

This fight was not nearly as visually impressive as the style of battle used by the Arboreal Realm or the Voidforce Universe, but the video gave Lu Yin an inexplicable chill. This truly was a meticulously planned game of death, and it demonstrated a peculiar use of spatial anomalies.

Lu Yin was amazed. How did they manage to condense s.p.a.ce within a card? Did it work like cosmic rings?

Was it truly possible to create a game of death within an isolated s.p.a.ce that perfectly suited a specific person’s fighting methods?

The Lost Clan truly did employ a unique style of fighting.

"Brother-in-law, never go to the Lost Clan School. Just watch them from a distance. Their fighting style is the most difficult to learn," Luo Lao'er warned. "Brother-in-law, look over there. That’s a battle from my Three Monarchs Universe."

Lu Yin turned and saw a tri-colored light flas.h.i.+ng on another display. This was the same monarch essence that he had seen Attendant Wu use before.

The power that belonged to the Three Monarchs Universe was nothing special, though its ability to enhance tools and weapons was unparalleled within the Sixverse a.s.sociation.

"As long as a weapon is infused with monarch essence, it can be upgraded to a higher level," Luo Lao'er explained.

Lu Yin was surprised. If he infused his slipper with monarch essence, would it also be upgraded by a level? He was tempted to ask, but he a.s.sumed that Luo Lao'er would just curse him.

Asking to enhance a slipper with monarch essence was no different from insulting the entire universe.

Finally, Lu Yin looked at the display to his right. This was the only one of the six that he had not observed, and it showed the fighting style of the Main Universe.

The video of the Main Universe was not particularly interesting. Much like the Fifth Mainland, they possessed a true cultivation civilization, and the showcase was of an array of battle techniques.

However, the demonstrated battle techniques were not as powerful as the ones that Lu Yin had already mastered.

However, there was no telling the limits that such a civilization could reach as it developed.

Lu Yin was curious to find out how the Main Universe had managed to exist for so many years without ever losing a single one of its Three Sovereigns and Nine Sages. He also could not understand how the Great Sovereign had managed to teach twelve peak powerhouses.

Even the Fifth Mainland’s Origin Progenitor had not been able to raise Progenitor-level experts. 

The displays slowly faded before transforming into light beams that shot away in six different directions. 

"Six directions. Six schools. These represent the six civilizations that you just witnessed. Choose the school that you wish to attend and descend by the stairs that lead in the corresponding direction until you arrive at the bottom," their escort instructed as a pair of eyes swept over the crowd of youths. "Once you enter a school, returning above the clouds will not be easy. I hope to see all of you here next time."

With that, their escort disappeared.

Immediately, the crowd broke out into numerous conversations.

"Where will you go?" 

"I'm going to go to the Main Universe’s school for sure. There’s no question that they stand at the peak of the Sixverse a.s.sociation."

I'm also going to the Main Universe School. They have the most powerful cultivation civilization. I heard that it’s possible to achieve a power level in the millions with cultivation, which means that you can become one of the strongest powerhouses even without using a black energy converter."

"I'm going to the Arboreal Realm. Everyone who goes there and undergoes their transformation is able to obtain an innate gift from a specific tree. Who knows? Maybe I'll obtain some legendary innate gift from the strongest tree."

"I'll go with you! There are all kinds of innate gifts in the Arboreal Realm, and any one of them could allow us to undergo a metamorphosis." 

"How can it be so easy to obtain a good innate gift? You’re just dreaming." 

"I'm going to the Voidforce School. Wu Tian's stone disk is incredible. On the battlefield, people from the Voidforce Universe are always the safest.”

… 

Everyone was engaged in heated discussions.

Zuo Yu tapped on Lu Yin's shoulder. "Hey, where are you going to study?" 

Lu Yin was not sure why she had sought him out. "The Voidforce School."

Zuo Yu replied, "I'm going to the Cyclic School to find Sister Hong. You managed to see through her sword technique, and I want to avenge her."
