Star Odyssey Chapter 3221: Threefold Absolutes Array

Chapter 3221: Threefold Absolutes Array

A sourcebox array could have a front side? Lu Yin felt puzzled. "How can I tell if it's facing me? The markings?"

"Exactly, there are markings etched across Tian Feng's surface. As long as you stay towards its back, you'll be fine. The markings point in three different directions."

Lu Yin concluded, "So there's only one direction to attack it from."

Tian Feng felt both frustrated and furious. It had never suffered the humiliation of someone a.n.a.lyzing its weakness right in front of it before.

The same thing had happened earlier, when Garan Zhiluo had revealed the abilities of Tian Ci and Tian En to the humans. Without that, the humans would have never been able to stop the Boundary Guardians.

Lu Yin raised a hand, and soil columns appeared all around Tian Feng. The stone was almost entirely surrounded. With a flick of his fingers, Lu Yin’s dirt columns shot forward.

He felt the sourcebox array start sealing his body again, but even without him controlling them, the columns of dirt continued forward out of pure momentum, though they lost a great deal of power. Still, Lu Yin only wanted to create an opening for the summoned Hongyan Mavis and Wu Tian.

Hongyan Mavis's image created green gra.s.s that surrounded Tian Feng. The gra.s.s was so thick that the Boundary Guardian’s vision was almost entirely impaired.

Wu Tian’s Martial Scriptures was ineffective against Tian Feng’s Skyrender Glyph Array, but the summon grabbed a dirt column and stabbed forward as if it were a spear.

Tian Feng spun around, blocking Wu Tian's attack.

It was at this moment that Lu Yin took action. Since Wu Tian was facing Tian Feng, it meant that Lu Yin was behind the creature. He took control of Wu Tian’s dirt weapon and stabbed it at Tian Feng from the front.

Tian Feng’s Skyrender Glyph Array was able to seal living creatures, but it could not stop the dirt columns.

There was a clang as the soil pierced into Tian Feng's body.

The stone trembled and let out a deep, furious roar. "You lowly humans! You dare to challenge the heavens? Insolent! Humanity should have been exterminated long ago!"

"Watch out, it's about to use its Two Worlds Dust Array," Garan Zhiluo warned, just in time. She was also attacking Tian Feng from inside. "This sourcebox array uses two parallel timelines as focal points, and then it overlaps them to instantly envelop everything. Another way to put it is that it’s drawing you into its core by eliminating a timeline."

Her explanation enraged Tian Feng, who screamed, "Garan, you're asking to die! I will make sure that you die miserably! I’ll flay all the flesh from your body and open you up in front of all humanity!

"Garan, Garan-"

Lu Yin's expression grew dark, and his dirt weapons continued to rain down on Tian Feng.

The markings on the stone’s surface flickered, serving as evidence that Lu Yin’s attacks were effective.

The a.s.sault was powerful enough to kill one of the Three Pillars and Six Skies. While Tian Feng was an Ortuser, that did not mean that it could simply ignore Lu Yin’s attacks.

Again and again, strikes landed. Lu Yin believed that his efforts would eventually break the sourcebox array.

Every time Tian Feng tried to use its Two World Dust Array, its attempt was thwarted by Garan Zhiluo.

Finally, Tian Feng could no longer endure, and a terrifying, murderous aura exploded.

Lu Yin's eyes flared. Just what was this?

An ominous bloodl.u.s.t radiated out from the patterns that covered Tian Feng’s surface, and it quickly filled the sky above all six Scourges. Everyone’s hearts started to pound from fear.

Mu Ke frowned. What terrifying bloodl.u.s.t! Who could develop something like this?

This bloodl.u.s.t had been released from within Tian Feng, but that did not mean that this was the Boundary Guardian’s own bloodl.u.s.t. The Ortuser was simply releasing the aura.

Jiang Feng glanced over at Tian Feng while tightly clenching his sword. This bloodl.u.s.t would not be easy to deal with.

Sovereign Dou Sheng looked up at the sky while gripping his golden cudgel. His blood was boiling, and it gave his Triumphant Brawl even more fuel. The bloodl.u.s.t had ignited the Sovereign’s fighting spirit. Di Qiong’s death had erased Arrow G.o.d’s desire to fight, and while Sovereign Dou Sheng had overwhelmed Arrow G.o.d, she still stubbornly refused to die.

Garan Zhiluo’s voice reached Lu Yin’s ears again. “This is the Threefold Absolutes Array. I can’t stop it. It uses three sources of bloodl.u.s.t as the core of the sourcebox array, and they’re sealed within the patterns that cover Tian Feng’s body. I can’t stop this one, so be careful.

“The three bloodl.u.s.t auras are from different sources. The first is from Sha, who was one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas during the Heavens Sect era. He became a cultivator after killing a million enemy soldiers, and he always blazed with bloodl.u.s.t. For the rest of his life, he was never able to escape slaughters. While he was not particularly powerful, and while he certainly couldn’t compare to us, his bloodl.u.s.t was terrifying and practically endless.

“The second comes from Blackie, who was also known as the G.o.d of Death.”

Lu Yin arched a brow. “The G.o.d of Death?”

“After the First Mainland shattered, Master disappeared, and I chased after Tian Feng, only to be trapped within it. At that time, the countless astral beasts of the Fourth Mainland rebelled. Blackie single-handedly slaughtered almost all the species there, and he made blood rain down upon the stars. Enraged, Yellowy fought him, and Blackie was soaked in the bloodl.u.s.t of the astral beasts.

“Tian Feng ambushed Blackie and stole a large portion of his bloodl.u.s.t.

“The third bloodl.u.s.t aura comes from Tian Fa, the Boundary Guardians’ executioner. That creature claims to deliver heaven’s punishment, and it has executed countless creatures, though mostly humans.

"The Threefold Absolutes Array merges the three bloodl.u.s.t auras into a single deadly strike that functions like a battle technique fueled by intent. You need to be very careful.”

Tian Feng roared, "So what if you understand it? My Threefold Absolutes Array kills with unmatched power! Even if you’ve studied it for thousands of years, you still wouldn’t be able to stop it! Humans, prepare to die!”

As the stone spoke, the terrifying bloodl.u.s.t split into three parts, each moving independently of the other two, yet all three flowed together in a strange, harmonious manner as they slowly merged back together.

Sha’s bloodl.u.s.t was like a cloud. It was disorienting, but it seemed at least somewhat normal.

The G.o.d of Death's bloodl.u.s.t took on the appearance of various astral beasts, and everyone could hear illusory cries and roars from the beast images.

As for Tian Fa’s bloodl.u.s.t, it mostly consisted of various humanoid forms, each of which was filled with sorrow and resentment. It was a sight that left people’s skin crawling.

The three bloodl.u.s.ts eventually merged into a trident in the sky that pointed straight at Lu Yin.

Lu Yuan's expression changed drastically. He understood that the strength of this attack would be a serious problem.

Ancient G.o.d looked over at the distant trident as well. Even he had to acknowledge the power of this battle technique, and he would not even try to block the attack.

Lu Yuan started moving towards Lu Yin, but Ancient G.o.d blocked him.

"Musclehead, get out of my way!"

"Loam, this is a battle for survival. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"You’re seeking death!"

Lu Tianyi also wanted to go help Lu Yin, but if Lu Yin was unable to handle this trident, then neither could Lu Tianyi.

Instead, the man used his Invest.i.ture of the G.o.ds again. He summoned Progenitor Ku and sent the summon to Lu Yin in the hopes that Progenitor Ku would be able to block the trident.

Both Wu Tian and Hongyan Mavis turned pale. This Threefold Absolutes Array was immensely powerful, and it was almost impossible for anyone who had not reached the Origin realm to block it.

"Move, kid! Don’t face it head-on! Even if you manage to block it, you’ll still be horribly injured! It’s not worth it!" Garan Zhiluo cautioned.

Lu Yin looked up at the enormous trident. It looked as though it could pierce through the Second Scourge. It looked like a G.o.d’s weapon.

However, Lu Yin just smiled. "Why would I try to block it? Senior, there’s something that you might not know about me. I’m a Lockbreaker."

No matter how powerful the Threefold Absolutes Array might be, it was still ultimately just a sourcebox array. Because of that, it could be undone.

Lu Yin’s lockbreaking abilities were rather formidable, especially with his current strength. At the moment, he was the best human Lockbreaker.

While Grandmaster Gu Yan had extensive lockbreaking experience, he would never be able to unravel the Threefold Absolutes Array. The Array Grandmaster simply was not strong enough to survive the sourcebox array’s danger zone.

But that was not true of Lu Yin.

Additionally, when it came to lockbreaking this particular sourcebox array, Lu Yin had a unique advantage: his death energy.

One of the three bloodl.u.s.ts came from the G.o.d of Death, and while the sourcebox array’s danger zone manifested as bloodl.u.s.t, it still contained death energy.

In other words, an entire third of the sourcebox's dangerous energies would not have the slightest effect on Lu Yin, and that was more than enough.

He moved forward, intent on confronting the trident, and Tian Feng sneered. "You’re seeking death."

The trident fell.

The entire Second Scourge trembled, and even the black Mother Tree swayed. This attack was terrifying enough to capture even True G.o.d’s attention.

Lu Yin took a step forward, having already pinpointed the exact location of the G.o.d of Death's bloodl.u.s.t. Then, he moved inside the trident.

The weapon continued to slowly fall, but Lu Yin had already disappeared.

Tian Feng was startled. How was this possible? The Threefold Absolutes Array was supposed to kill Lu Yin, but when he entered the trident, there was absolutely no reaction. Why? That was impossible.

Garan Zhiluo was just as confused.

Lu Tianyi had a thought. Could it be the G.o.d of Death's bloodl.u.s.t? Little Seven has cultivated death energy.

Lu Yin’s lockbreaking abilities allowed him to identify where the G.o.d of Death’s aura of bloodl.u.s.t was located. Even when the three bloodl.u.s.ts merged together, it was not enough to hide the truth from Lu Yin’s lockbreaking senses.

He was countering the Threefold Absolutes Array by lockbreaking it.

In the First Scourge, beneath a lake of divine energy, Hui Wu looked up to stare at the Threefold Absolutes Array. "A decent sourcebox array, but it’s not enough."

The trident continued to fall from the sky above the Second Scourge, but it was noticeably shrinking.

Countless people stared upwards, dumbfounded by what they saw.

Within the trident, Lu Yin was moving back and forth as the trident kept shrinking. It was as if he was absorbing the weapon.

That was also quite accurate, as Lu Yin was indeed absorbing the trident. At the very least, he was absorbing the death energy.

Bloodl.u.s.t was an intangible aura rooted in intent. There were people who could invoke terror in others with just a glance, but that was just a kind of intimidation. To actually materialize bloodl.u.s.t, it was necessary for a cultivator to rely on the power that they had cultivated.

This was also why Garan Zhiluo had referred to the Three Absolutes Array as an intent-based battle technique.

The G.o.d of Death's bloodl.u.s.t was based in death energy, and Lu Yin was lockbreaking the weapon by absorbing that death energy. He had no intention of shattering the trident by lockbreaking the entire thing; that would take too much time and energy.

All he needed to do was absorb the death energy, which would eliminate the G.o.d of Death’s bloodl.u.s.t. Without one of its three aspects, the Threefold Absolutes Array would simply cease to exist.

Tian Feng stared blankly as the patterns on its surface flickered. The being was clearly disturbed.

The Threefold Absolutes Array was supposed to be a peerless killing technique, so why was it just casually disappearing?

Lu Yuan let out a breath of relief. Little Seven’s cultivation was diverse and complex, which was something that was generally considered only an advantage while early on in one’s path. As cultivators grew, more and more would gradually abandon various aspects of their cultivation in order to narrow and focus their path. But Little Seven had instead continued down his diverse path, and he had even expanded its scope. As he progressed further, he had managed to merge all of his diverse paths into a comprehensive one. This was Lu Yin’s unique cultivation path, and it was one that no one had ever walked before.

Even the Origin Progenitor’s path was merely one part of Lu Yin’s.

At this moment, the benefits of Lu Yin’s path were being made clear. He had cultivated the G.o.d of Death's death energy, and he was now absorbing that power to rather easily undo the Threefold Absolutes Array.

This was only possible with both mastery of death energy and exceptional lockbreaking skills, both of which Lu Yin possessed.

"Hahaha, Tian Feng, you actually helped the kid! He’s cultivated death energy and just absorbed all of the G.o.d of Death’s bloodl.u.s.t! Your Threefold Absolutes Array is gone! Hahaha, look at that trident, hahaha!"
