Looking at the two layers of light, Lu Yin tossed the giant's right arm over.
The giant's right arm had Enlighter rune lines, and when it was worn on the arm, it was equivalent to the wrist guard that Lu Yin had worn earlier.
The wristguards were limited by the materials they were made of, and even if they were upgraded to the maximum, they would only be able to increase the user's strength by a power level close to 300,000. However, the giant's right arm was different.
Lu Yin continued to toss star essence into the giant's right arm, and the arm was upgraded once, twice, thrice, and then six times before it could no longer be upgraded. It was also limited by the materials available to it, and it had reached its limit.
Lu Yin sucked in a breath of cold air as he looked at the giant's right arm, which had been upgraded six times. The number of rune lines on the giant's right arm was enormous, and it far surpassed any Enlighter that Lu Yin had ever seen, including Shamrock Enterprises' Yu Mu and the other top experts. The giant's right arm should be infinitely close to the level of an Envoy!
Lu Yin touched the giant's right arm and took a deep breath. The Innerverse and Outerverse had been separated from each other for more than six years. Back then, he had been able to upgrade his foreign objects to the point where they could threaten an Enlighter, but now, they were almost at the level of an Emissary. He himself had also evolved.
No, it was earning money.
But that didn't seem right. With Lu Yin's abilities back then, even if he had a lot of money, he would still be limited by the amount of materials he could use. At most, he would only be able to threaten Enlighters.
It was still on a different level.
After sighing to himself, he put away the giant's right arm and took out the Smothering Cannon. This thing was very useful for sneak attacks. It was small and inconspicuous, but it was also very powerful.
Smothering Cannon's power was only equivalent to that of a Cruiser with a power level of 50,000, which was actually quite good compared to the Outerverse. After all, it was stored in the Hall of Honor's border warehouse. However, it was still of little use to Lu Yin.
He tossed all of the Smothering Cannons onto the upper screen and began to frantically increase his strength.
After upgrading it nine times, it could not be upgraded anymore. It was also limited by the materials used.
After nine upgrades, Smothering Pao's rune lines had reached the level of an Enlighter with a power level of over 200,000.
Although their power level was low, there were still many of them. Furthermore, Lu Yin was only a Cruiser, and these cannons could threaten an Enlighter. They were basically the same as the gun that he had upgraded in the beginning, which was pretty good.
The giant's right arm had been upgraded six times, and it had cost a total of 1.3 million star essence. The Smothering Cannon had been upgraded nine times, and there were more than twenty of them, which had cost a total of 1.4 million star essence. Combined, the two upgrades had cost a total of 2.7 million star essence.
If he hadn't made a fortune, he wouldn't have had the money to upgrade himself.
With that in mind, he took out the one-sided mirror. This was the next step.
This thing could forcibly absorb star energy within a certain range, and if used properly, it could disrupt an opponent's battle techniques, techniques, or even innate gifts.
The single-sided mirror's rune lines were about the same as Muffled Cannon's, which was also close to 50,000 Cruisers' rune lines. However, its materials were much better than Muffled Cannon's, as it was still a power vessel.
Lu Yin continued to level up until he could no longer do so after the thirteenth attempt.
Thirteen uses had consumed a total of 1.18 million star essence. By now, the number of rune lines on the single-sided mirror was enormous, and it should have surpassed the level of Yu Mu.
Maybe it was more than 400,000 combat power!
These three items had cost Lu Yin nearly four million star essence to upgrade them, which was a huge waste of money. The further he progressed, the more precious the items he would come into contact with, and the more money he would need to upgrade them.
He was still poor after all.
He looked at his cosmic ring and saw that he still had more than 20,000,000 star essence, which was enough for the time being.
Actually, to Lu Yin, the most important thing was still his universal armor, or rather, a piece of equipment that could protect him from all directions. The giant's arm could barely be considered an option since it was huge, and if used properly, it could protect his entire body. However, he still needed something similar to the universal armor.
His new set of universal armor could at most withstand an attack from an Enlighter with a power level of around 200,000, which was enough in the Outerverse. However, in the Innerverse, especially when facing the Daynight clan, it definitely wouldn't be enough.
He hoped that Ban Jiu would be able to integrate some powerful materials.
Lu Yin suddenly slapped his head, as he had forgotten that he had given the mechanical monsters that had attacked Huikong to Ban Jiu. Even if Ban Jiu could identify the materials of the mechanical monsters, he didn't have the ability to separate them. Those monsters seemed weak and had been easily destroyed by Huikong, but that was Huikong, an existence with a power level of at least a million.
No matter how weak those mechanical monsters were, they should still be stronger than Envoys.
Lu Yin walked out of the secret room and headed towards the research facility.
At this moment, within the Twelfth Squadron's underground research facility, Ban Jiu was vexed. His vice-captain, Shalosh, was standing behind him, looking at the remains of the mechanical monsters that had occupied the entire underground.
"Captain, was this sent by His Highness?" Shalosh asked.
Ban Jiu nodded.
Shalosh was helpless. "With our current technology, it's impossible to move these things. We can't even break down a single part. I don't know where His Highness got these things from."
Ban Jiu looked at the broken pieces of the mechanical monsters and touched the mechanical parts. "These came from the Technocracy."
The rest of the people were shocked. The Technocracy was a civilization that humans could never come into contact with. Although they were constantly at war, not many people truly understood the Technocracy, and no one had ever ventured deep into it.
"His Highness was actually able to bring such a huge item from the Technocracy. It's amazing," an old scientist exclaimed.
"His Highness can't do anything, but we're too weak and can't keep up."
"With our Technocracy's ability, we can't do anything to these things. I reckon that even the Outerverse's most technologically advanced Future Weave won't be able to do anything to them."
…
Ban Jiu grew irritated as he listened to the discussions. "Alright, you guys can leave now. I'll think of something."
Not long after, the crowd dispersed, leaving only Ban Jiu and Shalosh behind.
"Captain," Shalosh called out, but the void tore open and Lu Yin walked out.
When he saw Lu Yin appear, Shalosh's face paled. "Greetings, Your Highness."
During Earth's trial, Shalosh had advocated helping Raas, the son of Sicar, deal with Lu Yin. Although many years had passed since then, Shalosh still felt unconsciously fearful whenever he saw Lu Yin. He was afraid that Lu Yin would seek revenge.
Lu Yin had never cared about Shalosh.
Ban Jiu bowed when he saw Lu Yin arrive. "Greetings, Your Highness."
Lu Yin looked at the broken pieces of the mechanical monster. "How is it? Any ideas?"
Ban Jiu had Shalosh leave, his expression solemn. "Your Highness, we can't disassemble these mechanical creatures, and we can't even analyze their material properties."
Lu Yin wasn't surprised. "If I can disassemble these machines, can you use the materials?"
Ban Jiu's eyes lit up. "We can use some of them, but most of them need to be melted, and we don't have enough high-temperature flames."
Lu Yin replied, "I have high-temperature flames, but I need a brand new set of armor with the best materials. I'll be your assistant. Whatever metal you need to melt, just leave it to me."
Ban Jiu nodded. "Understood, I'll definitely make the best armor."
Lu Yin left with the broken pieces of the mechanical monster and went straight to the barren planet. He looked up and saw his die appear. He tapped it, and it was one again. There was no rush, let's try again.
The die slowly stopped spinning, and in the end, it showed four pips: Time Stop.
There was no rush once he entered the Time Stop Space. Pips 1, 5, and 6 were useless here, but Pips 2 and 3 were still useful.
Perhaps he had used up all his luck from rolling three pips, but he had only rolled two pips after a month and a half in the Time Stop Space.
Pips 2 allowed him to disassemble things. The disassembly vortex could only exist for five minutes, but he could use star crystals to increase its duration.
He dragged the broken pieces of the mechanical monster and tossed them into the vortex. All sorts of strange metals fell out of the vortex, and Lu Yin picked them up and continued disassembling them. He knew that these metals were probably synthesized, and even Ban Jiu and the others couldn't do it with their current technology.
The scene in front of him changed, and he returned to the barren planet. With a single step, he returned to Zenyu Star's Underground Technology Institute.
He tossed the countless strange materials he had disassembled to Ban Jiu and then left under the latter's shocked and confused gaze.
Ban Jiu wanted to create new equipment, so he needed to research these metals. This required time, but Lu Yin could use this time to cultivate and explore the Daynight clan's inheritance stones.
In a secret room in King Zishan's palace, Lu Yin took out the sixteen Daynight clan's ancient inheritance stones with a complicated expression.
During Earth's trial, he, Xia Luo, and Lulu had all obtained battle techniques from the ancient stones. Logically speaking, only people from the Daynight clan should have been able to obtain them, but he hadn't thought too much about it. Now that he thought about it, Lulu was from the Mavis Family, so it wasn't surprising that she had some mysterious methods. But who was Xia Luo?
Primeval surnames weren't simple, and those who dared to use them were even more so.
Also, as a Mavis, why had Lulu come to Earth?
He had once thought that it was for the Undying Manual, but now that he thought about it, that might not be the case.
Was Earth hiding some unknown secret related to the Hidden Earth Society?
He still had to visit Jupiter once he broke through to the Hunter realm!
Lu Yin held the ancient inheritance stone in his hand and felt the vicissitudes of time. He raised his hand, and the stone floated into the air. He then cut his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the stone. In an instant, a dark sky appeared before his eyes. Black and white suddenly intersected to form a giant fist that descended. It was exactly the same as the first time he had entered the ancient inheritance stone.
Zhou Shan, Wu Sheng, Jenny Auna, and the rest had all failed at that moment and had been unable to enter the inheritance corridor.
At that time, Lu Yin had needed to rely on the Sirius Art to enter. Now, his body trembled slightly, and the Daynight Fist disappeared as his body appeared outside the corridor.
At the same time, in the Daynight clan's ancestral grounds, countless Daynight clan members looked up at the stone tablet that pierced through the sky. Some were excited, some were expectant, and some were disdainful.
The stone tablet represented the level of comprehension that everyone in the Daynight clan had gained from the inheritance stone. The higher one's comprehension, the higher their image would appear on the tablet.
The highest image was undoubtedly Nightking Zhenwu, and second only to him was Zhanlong Daynight.
The image displayed by the stone tablet didn't depend on one's cultivation base. Instead, it only looked at one's comprehension of battle techniques and the level of inheritance one had received.
At this moment, many Daynight clan members were competing on the stone tablet, including Tiankong Daynight, Chilian Daynight, and Rou Daynight who had studied in the Astral Combat Academy. There were also Hui Daynight, Zhuo Daynight, Nightqueen Yanqing, Nightking Gu, and many others who had studied in Astral-10.
