Lu Yin's current physical body, strength, defense, domain, and even spiritual force had all grown a little. He had a strange look in his eyes; if he were to fight the Junior Arrow Saint again, the results would be different. If he had fought the Junior Arrow Saint before, without the True Scripture of Eon Evolution, his chances of victory would have been 50% or 40% to 60%, with the Junior Arrow Saint having an extra 10% chance of victory. But now, Lu Yin's chances of victory were also 40% to 60%, with him having an extra 10% chance of victory.
No, he might even have a 20% chance of winning. If he gathered all his star energy into a single sun, his power level would be enough to make even an Enlighter with a power level of 300,000 fear.
A Cruiser's cultivation cycle did not make much of a difference, but if he broke through to the Hunter realm, then there would be a qualitative difference. Even the Daosource Three Skies might not be his opponent, let alone the Junior Arrow Saint.
Lu Yin was quite confident in his own abilities. He had guessed that he would be able to fight the Ten Arbiters once he became a Cruiser, and he had done just that. Now, he was certain that once he broke through to the Hunter realm, he would be able to fight the three Enlighters from the Daosource Three Skies.
Although only a second had passed in the real world, Lu Yin had been cultivating in the Time Stop Space for an entire year, and he was exhausted.
He walked out of King Zishan's palace as the sun set in the west. High up in the sky, the three rings of land blocked out much of the light, but there was still a trace of afterglow that fell onto the palace.
The palace was second only to the imperial palace, and Lu Yin looked at the setting sun. He suddenly remembered that he had never seen a sunrise in the palace before, and he looked forward to it.
Although his identity as King Zishan's descendant was fake, he had used it for so many years that he had developed feelings for this place. It was his home.
He stood at the edge of the palace and looked at the setting sun until it was dark. Then, he retracted his gaze and stepped out, tearing through the void to appear outside the tavern.
He liked to relax outside of cultivation, and this place was a good place to do so.
Tonight, the tavern was especially lively, and all the tables were occupied.
Lu Yin disguised himself and quietly waited for the other customers to finish eating and leave.
"Brother, why don't you come home? There's still an empty table," the owner kindly offered.
Lu Yin smiled. "There's no need. I like to drink outside."
The owner nodded and did not say anything else. He simply gave Lu Yin a chair and told him to wait.
Not long after, a table was emptied out, and as usual, there was wine and food.
Lu Yin drank and exhaled in a carefree manner. After a year of cultivation, it felt good to occasionally take a break.
At this moment, someone at the next table exclaimed, "Red, red, female ghost?"
"What?
Where's the ghost? "
"Look, there's red."
…
Lu Yin turned to look into the distance when he heard this, and what he saw was a smear of red and a beautiful face slowly approaching.
The customers in the tavern were all scared away. The owner was so scared that his legs were trembling. He looked at the woman in red who was slowly approaching.
In the middle of the night, wearing bright red clothes and looking so beautiful, anyone would be afraid.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. Why was this woman here?
Lilyrose was one of the top experts of the Blaze Realm's younger generation. Before the Innerverse and Outerverse had been separated from each other, she had been ranked thirty-first on the Top 100 Rankings. The Innerverse had been embroiled in war for several years, so it was possible that someone had overtaken her, and it was also possible that someone had died. Her ranking might have risen or fallen.
He had only met this woman a few times, and he had only spoken to her once. It had been back in Ironblood Weave when she had tried to seduce him, but he had rejected her.
Looking at the boss's fearful eyes, Lilyrose chuckled. "Don't be afraid.
Not a ghost. "
The boss gulped. "Re-really?"
Lilyrose laughed coquettishly and seductively. "Take a guess."
The boss blinked and mustered his courage. "What would you like to drink?"
Lilyrose sat at the table next to Lu Yin's. "Give me a flask of wine."
"Oh, okay." The boss hurriedly ran into the room.
Lilyrose casually cleared the table and then looked at Lu Yin. Everyone else had been scared away, and only this person had stayed behind, which piqued her curiosity. This person was definitely a cultivator.
Ever since the battle in the astral graveyard, she had been recuperating on Zenyu Star. It had been a long time since she had touched a man. Lilyrose carefully sized up Lu Yin. Although he wasn't particularly good-looking, he wasn't bad either. He was barely passable. She licked her lips, stood up, and slowly walked over to Lu Yin. She sat down on the chair next to him. "Can I sit here?"
"No." Lu Yin immediately rejected her. He was speechless; it seemed like every time he came to the tavern, he would run into familiar faces. Did these people all live around King Zishan's palace?
It seemed like it was time to sweep through the area with his domain.
Lilyrose was stunned. He had rejected her? This person had actually rejected her?
No man had ever rejected her in her entire life except for that person, but she had actually been rejected today.
Her eyes lit up as she propped up her chin with one hand and sized Lu Yin up. "Why not?
Am I not pretty? "
Lu Yin looked at her helplessly. "I'm a little annoying."
Lilyrose blinked and pointed at herself in disbelief. "Annoying?
Me? "
Lu Yin nodded seriously.
Lilyrose was stunned, but at that moment, the boss's wine arrived. She curiously sat down at another table and brought it over. "Sir, your wine."
She took it and pushed it to Lu Yin. "Are you saying that I'm annoying?"
Lu Yin pressed down on the flask and slowly pushed it back to her. "Sit aside."
Lilyrose frowned and tried to push the flask back, but it wouldn't budge no matter how hard she tried. Her eyes flashed, and the air became scorching hot. Red lilies bloomed in the void, and the electrical appliances in the room exploded. The boss was so frightened that he hurriedly extinguished the fire.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold as he stared at Lilyrose. "Back off!" He barked, and Lilyrose felt as if she had been struck by an indescribable attack. Her entire body swayed, and she almost fell over. Her eyes were filled with shock, and she knew that she had encountered a terrifying powerhouse. She turned to leave without another word.
But before she could take more than a few steps, Lu Yin suddenly recalled something. "Stop. Come back."
Lilyrose turned around and bowed to Lu Yin. "Lilyrose from the Blaze Realm has offended you, Senior. Please forgive me."
Lu Yin replied, "I know you're from the Blaze Realm. I can recognize the aura of the Karmic Flame Sword."
Lilyrose was shocked. If he could recognize the Karmic Flame Sword, then he must be from the Innerverse. She studied Lu Yin's face carefully and found it familiar. After some thought, her expression changed. "You're Lu Yin?"
Lu Yin smiled and restored his appearance. "Long time no see, Lilyrose."
Lilyrose stared at Lu Yin in a daze, and then she heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest. "You scared me to death! I thought it was some old senior. Brother Lu, you have to compensate me! You almost scared me to death!" She then sat down and very naturally rolled her eyes at him with a seductive expression.
Lu Yin asked, "Why are you here?"
Lilyrose replied, "I followed the Great Eastern Alliance to fight. I was injured, so I came to Zenyu Star to recuperate."
"Is that so? Are you monitoring me on behalf of the Blaze Realm?"
Lu Yin asked.
Lilyrose smiled. "Brother Lu, you're overthinking things. How can I monitor you with my meager strength?
Huo Houye is dead, and the Blaze Realm doesn't have any experts in the Outerverse. Brother Lu, you don't have to worry about it. "
Lu Yin poured a cup of wine. "The Innerverse and Outerverse are about to be reconnected. What are your plans?"
"What do you mean?" Lilyrose was puzzled.
"Nothing much. I'm just curious about the Blaze Realm," Lu Yin casually replied and took a sip of wine.
Lilyrose looked at Lu Yin charmingly. "I know that the Blaze Realm has some misunderstandings with Brother Lu, but that has nothing to do with me. Brother Lu, you wouldn't want to make an example out of me, right?"
Lu Yin laughed. "It's just a misunderstanding. There's no need to go that far."
Lilyrose giggled and personally poured some wine for Lu Yin. Her fair wrist brushed against the back of his hand, and it felt very smooth and comfortable.
Back in Ironblood Weave, this woman had tried to seduce him, and she had not given up even now.
She liked to play, and she especially liked to play with powerhouses.
"I remember that time in Ironblood Weave, I invited Brother Lu for a drink, but you rejected me. I never thought that we would actually have the chance to drink together after so many years," Lilyrose said softly as she licked her lips.
Lu Yin nodded. "Yes, a few years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Lilyrose drank some wine, and her face flushed red. She looked at Lu Yin with drunken eyes. "Brother Lu, I can't hold my liquor well, so I might not be able to go home tonight. Can I go to King Zishan's palace for a drink?"
Lu Yin's lips curled up, and he raised a hand to lift her chin. Lilyrose cooperatively lifted her head, and her body leaned towards him. Lu Yin leaned forward, and just as they were about to touch, he asked, "Do you know who created the Astral River Ark?"
Lilyrose instantly sobered up, but she still looked drunk. She looked at Lu Yin. "What Astral River Ark?
Brother Lu, this is such a beautiful day. Don't let it go to waste. "
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold, and his spiritual force surged out along with Nightfall. Lilyrose's vision darkened as boundless spiritual force wantonly engulfed her, causing her to feel a sense of dread. At that moment, she felt as if she had returned to the borders of Ironblood Weave and had seen a giant beast crushing down on her. She could feel the terrifying aura of her life approaching its end.
Nightfall only lasted for two seconds before Lu Yin retracted his spiritual force and looked at Lilyrose.
Lilyrose was panting heavily, and her pupils were dilating. Her entire body was drenched in sweat, and her head was still dizzy from the shock.
With her spiritual force, she would not have been able to withstand even touching Nightfall. She had only fainted because Lu Yin had been merciful.
Although Lu Yin was also a Cruiser, the difference between them was like heaven and earth.
"Have you figured it out now?
I want to know who created the Astral River Ark and who can repair it, "Lu Yin said calmly as he released Lilyrose.
Lilyrose propped herself up on the table as beads of sweat dripped down her face. Her breathing gradually calmed down, and her vision gradually became clearer. She could not believe it, as Lu Yin's terrifying strength was beyond her imagination. The difference between them had not been that great in the past, and during the battle on Planet Pyrolyte, this man had not even been able to defeat Zhanbing Daynight, who was ranked fifty-fifth. But now, he was able to crush her.
It was not crushing, as she knew that she did not have the ability to resist at all. She did not even know how to resist.
She looked up at Lu Yin and then spat out, "Brother Lu, you said that you wouldn't make an example out of me."
Lu Yin calmly replied, "I'm asking you a question."
Lilyrose was bitter. "Is this the breadth of mind of the Great Eastern Alliance's Alliance Leader?
You won't even let a girl like me off. "
