At this moment, the more intense the battle in the city was, the more likely it was that a powerful battle technique had appeared. All of the cultivators watched the battlefield with fervent gazes, watching the battle techniques displayed by the figures.
They would not leave immediately, and they would do their best to stay in the Monument Realm and learn as many battle techniques as they could, even if the effects were very low.
The battle in the city lasted for an entire day, and during that time, battle techniques were as numerous as the stars in the sky. There were even secret techniques amongst them.
However, the secret techniques were not very attractive to them since they could not be learned.
One day later, the entire city changed once more, and the battle restarted. The city lord was torn to shreds, and the Skybeast Claw descended. The cultivators outside the city watched intently.
Lu Yin saw the Dream Finger shatter the Corpse King. He tried his best to see the person behind the finger, but he was too far away.
After some thought, he whispered to Blackie and Xiao Bai, "You guys stay here and don't go anywhere. I'm going to take a look in the city."
Blackie was confused, "What are you going to do?"
Lu Yin's expression was complicated, "To see some of the truth." He then leapt into the city.
On the other side, Lei Nu and Qiu Shi also rushed into the city. Only experts at their level dared to enter the city to observe, as they were confident that they could avoid the battle's shockwaves.
The other cultivators could only envy them.
Even Tai Yishen did not dare to enter. This was the Monument Realm, and he could not see any rune lines. His strength had been greatly reduced, and he did not want to risk entering the city.
Lu Yin entered the city and easily avoided the battle's shockwaves. He arrived at the spot where the Dream Finger had shattered the Corpse King and waited quietly. He had to see the person behind the void.
Besides him, there were a few other cultivators in the city.
Tai Yuanjun endured the first day of battle with great difficulty, and when the battle replayed, he rushed out to leave the city. Behind him, Little Stutterer popped out, "Bring me along."
Tai Yuanjun barked, "Shut up! Are you looking to die?"
Little Stutterer leapt up and grabbed onto Tai Yuanjun's clothes, hanging on his back like a kite, "Go, go."
Tai Yuanjun wanted to kick him away, but he was afraid that Little Stutterer's shouts would attract the attention of the remaining spiritual force. He had no choice but to drag him out of the city. His hatred for Little Stutterer had reached a boiling point, and he planned to kill him as soon as he left the city.
The little stutterer clung tightly to Tai Yuanjun's back, and when he turned around and saw Lu Yin, he excitedly shouted, "Meat, meat!"
Tai Yuan Jun's expression changed, and he smacked Little Stutterer on the head. "Shut up!"
The little stutterer felt wronged as he pointed at Lu Yin and shouted for meat.
Lu Yin blinked and watched as Tai Yuanjun dragged Little Stutterer away. He was at a loss. Meat?
"Seventh Brother, get out of the city. What are you doing here?
Don't let those ghosts find you! "The monkey was scared, as it was afraid of this place.
Lu Yin took a deep breath and observed his surroundings, avoiding the aftershocks of the battle as he stared intently at the void.
Not long after, the Corpse King's figure crashed down, precisely at that location.
At that moment, Lu Yin's eyes went wide, and he clenched his fists tightly.
The void cracked open, and a finger descended, directly shattering the Corpse King's figure before disappearing.
Lu Yin was annoyed that he hadn't seen anything. He was too far away. No, he had to continue.
The next day, Lu Yin continued to monitor the situation.
The Corpse King smashed down. The finger broke through the void and descended, shattering the Corpse King with a single finger.
This time, Lu Yin wasn't too far away from the Corpse King, and the shockwaves from that finger had almost touched him. He was quite close, but he still couldn't see it clearly. However, he did see a long strand of hair.
Lu Yin's breathing quickened. It was a woman, and the one who had used the Dream Finger was also a woman.
His eyes turned red. He had to see it again.
This time, he was even closer, almost standing beside the Corpse King.
In the distance, Qiu Shi was staring at the sky, observing the Sirius Art. She glanced at where Lu Yin was standing, and her gaze turned cold. "Stay away, you'll be affected."
Lu Yin ignored her, as if he hadn't heard her.
Qiu Shi frowned. "You'll die if you get affected. Stay away, that attack isn't something you can handle."
Lu Yin looked at her. "Do your own thing."
Qiu Shi's gaze turned cold. "If you want to die, don't drag us down with you. Stay away."
Lu Yin growled, "Shut up."
Qiu Shi's gaze turned cold, and she wanted to attack, but she was surrounded by gray figures fighting fiercely. If she did, she would be discovered. "This is your only opportunity. Don't make a mistake."
Lu Yin calculated the time, and it was almost time.
The next moment, the Corpse King crashed down.
The void tore apart as the Dream Finger descended.
Standing beside the Corpse King, Lu Yin could feel the power of that finger. It contained an unimaginable bone-chilling coldness that could destroy the heavens and the earth. It felt as if the sky had been frozen and then collapsed; it wasn't something that mortals could withstand.
Although Lu Yin could display a power level that exceeded 300,000, he was still a mortal in the face of this finger.
In the distance, Qiu Shi's expression changed.
A Star Chessboard appeared beneath Lu Yin's feet, and he used the Secret Plan Word, Star Chessboard. He moved, and his body instantly disappeared. The Corpse King was crushed by the finger, and Lu Yin instantly appeared outside the torn void. He looked into the distance and saw a gray figure with a gray symbol carved on its chest that looked like a cloud.
The torn void should have been closed, but Lu Yin's appearance had attracted the remaining spiritual force's attention. The figure behind the void raised a finger and aimed at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's hair stood on end, and his heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously used the Secret Plan Word to escape, but the Dream Finger swept past his side and shattered his shoulder and half of his body. Fresh blood splattered onto the ground.
Lu Yin crashed to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. Half of his body had almost disappeared.
Because of the sudden change, some of the spiritual force that had been fighting in the surroundings were drawn over and attacked Lu Yin.
In the distance, Qiu Shi's expression turned ugly.
What an idiot. Lu Yin looked up and saw many spiritual force attacking him. These spiritual force remnants had been quite strong when they were alive, and there were even Corpse Kings among them. Lu Yin struggled to get up and grit his teeth; he was definitely going to die if he was surrounded.
Qiu Shi's heart sank, and she had a bad premonition.
Lu Yin used the Secret Plan Word again and moved in front of Qiu Shi. "Sorry, I'll make it up to you in the future." He then rushed out of the city, using her as bait to share the burden of the attack.
The remnant spiritual force attacks that had been attracted to Lu Yin and Qiu Shi descended, completely enveloping them.
At this moment, Qiu Shi's hatred for Lu Yin reached a boiling point. This bastard had actually dared to drag her down with him. If she had known this would happen, she would have destroyed him back in the Sirius Sect.
Lu Yin had no other choice, as he could not escape on his own, but it was different if he dragged Qiu Shi down with him.
This situation was exactly the same as when the Sixth Mainland had invaded the transport continent. Only by dragging the Innerverse people down with him would he be able to save the Outerverse people.
They would either live together or die together.
Qiu Shi's footsteps were light, and she directly overtook Lu Yin. Her gaze was cold. "If we survive, I'll make you pay the price."
The Star Chessboard appeared beneath Lu Yin's feet once more. "Since that's the case, I won't hold back. Apologies, Eldest Senior Sister." He then vanished, only to reappear and overtake Qiu Shi.
Qiu Shi snorted, and hundreds of stars appeared in the sky around her as her body emitted a hazy halo. As the stars revolved, they transformed into an astral sword that slashed towards Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's expression changed, and he waved his hand to activate the Yu Secret Art to forcefully divert the sword qi. The sword qi streaked across the void and slashed towards the ground, attracting even more spiritual force remnants.
At that moment, the revolving stars suddenly disappeared and transformed into multiple swords that slashed towards Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was shocked; what kind of sword technique was this?
The sword qi covered the sky, and Lu Yin could not withstand it in his current state.
Qiu Shi did not kill him, but instead used her sword technique to trap him. She quickly swept past him with an icy gaze.
Lu Yin tried to use his Empty Palm to disperse the sword technique formed from the stars, but half of his body was numb, and he could not use it.
The two had only exchanged a few breaths of time, and Lu Yin was trapped within Qiu Shi's sword technique. He wanted to use the Plan Secret Art to escape, but he had used the Plan Secret Art and then the Yu Secret Art consecutively. His body could not take it anymore, and countless spiritual force remnants surrounded him from all directions.
When he saw that Qiu Shi was far away, Lu Yin helplessly took out his die and tapped it. The die continuously spun as he continuously dodged the sword technique attacks.
The die stopped at three pips, and Lu Yin waved his hand to disperse it. He condensed his star energy into star crystals and allowed the die to recover. He tapped the die again, but the spiritual force remnants around him were getting closer and closer. Above his head, a grey figure viciously slammed into him; it was most likely a Corpse King.
The die stopped at four pips, and Time Stop Space was activated.
The scene in front of Lu Yin changed, and he appeared in a grey-white space.
He heaved a sigh of relief; he had made it in time, or else it would have been difficult to escape.
Lu Yin lay on the ground and endured the pain. His cosmic ring had been taken away, and he could not use medicine to heal himself. He had no choice but to rely on time.
Fortunately, he had become a Cruiser and could forcefully condense star energy into crystals. Even if there was no star energy in the grey-white space, the amount of star energy circulating within his body was enough.
Lu Yin blocked the monkey and circulated the star energy within his body, condensing it into his palm. It was not very fast, but it was enough to maintain the grey-white space for some time.
The star energy within his body was comparable to an Enlighter's, so condensing a few hundred star essence worth of star crystals was not a problem for him. At the same time, he was slowly recovering.
Lu Yin looked around and tried to recall the diagram he had seen behind the spatial tear. He was certain that he had never seen such a diagram before, so he stopped thinking about it and started to recite the Stonewall Scriptures while condensing star crystals.
A month quickly passed by, and half of his body finally regained feeling. This meant that he could endure the pain on his own.
Lu Yin gritted his teeth and let out a long sigh before continuing.
Without medicine, he could only slowly recover on his own.
Another month passed, and then another two.
A full four months had passed since he had entered the Time Stop Space, and only a small portion of his injuries had recovered. He continued.
…
The scene in front of him changed, and Lu Yin walked out of the Time Stop Space. In the distance, Qiu Shi was fleeing, and the grey figure that was most likely a Corpse King was pressing down on her.
The Star Scattered Chessboard appeared beneath Lu Yin's feet, and he moved.
The next moment, Lu Yin left the encirclement and was not too far away from Qiu Shi.
Qiu Shi turned around in shock. Impossible! No matter how many secret techniques he had, he couldn't use them consecutively. But he had already used them several times, so how could his body still be able to use them?
