Lu Yin didn't even try to dodge. Although Red Lord's ability to use the red planet to increase his power level was terrifying, it couldn't hide the fact that he was heavily injured. Even if he increased his power level, he wouldn't be able to reach his peak.
Lu Yin's universal armor could block Envoys' attacks.
Seeing that his attacks were useless, Red Lord shouted, "Lu Yin, I'm on the red planet! You can't kill me! Once I recover, will you be able to resist me?
Also, the sylvan dragons and the Ross Empire will not allow you to take over my Blaze Realm. Retreat, and I can pretend that none of this happened. "
Lu Yin didn't speak, and he merely looked at the red planet.
Red Lord shouted again, "Did you hear that, Lu Yin? Retreat from the Blaze Realm!"
Lu Yin still didn't speak.
Red Lord didn't speak either, and the red planet trembled. It was obvious that something was brewing.
"Red Lord, Madam Lan is about to die," Lu Yin suddenly said.
Red Lord's tone was gloomy. "She's not dead yet, and she won't die so easily."
"What makes you say that? Based on this?" Lu Yin took out the sphere.
Flames raged on the red planet, revealing Red Lord's unease. "Junior, do you really want to fight to the death with my Blaze Realm?
Let me tell you, my Blaze Realm has been in the Innerverse for many years, and we have countless disciples. There are even people from my Blaze Realm in the Hall of Honor. I know that you have a strong background, and as long as you retreat, we will have nothing to do with each other. Otherwise, my Blaze Realm disciples will destroy you sooner or later. "
Lu Yin listened quietly as Red Lord continued, "As long as you retreat, the Blaze Realm will be your ally from now on."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "You're willing to ally with my Great Eastern Alliance?"
"Of course," Red Lord replied.
Lu Yin thought about it and then slowly descended onto the red planet. "You won't take this opportunity to attack me, right?"
"Of course not, Alliance Leader Lu. Retreat. The Blaze Realm has a strong foundation, and it's not like the Outerverse. Besides, your Outerverse isn't truly unified, just an alliance. My Blaze Realm can also join the Great Eastern Alliance."
Lu Yin seemed to be thinking.
In front of him, flames condensed and transformed into Red Lord. His rough body was intimidating as he approached Lu Yin. "Alliance Leader Lu, the Blaze Realm's joining the Great Eastern Alliance is much stronger than those trash from the Outerverse. You only need to retreat."
Lu Yin looked at her, "Has your poison been cured?"
Master Hong's eyes flashed with a trace of hatred, but she quickly concealed it. "How can mere poison affect me? Alliance Master Lu, what do you think?"
As he spoke, he took another two steps closer.
He looked at her feet, "Are you confident that you can kill me at this distance?"
After saying those words, the Star Scattered Chessboard appeared beneath his feet.
Lu Yin's body vanished, and a strand of fiery sword qi shot up into the sky from where he had been standing. It tore through the heavens and cut through the universe, almost splitting the entire Blaze Realm in two. This was Crimson Lord's power, and he wanted to kill Lu Yin.
However, Lu Yin did not retaliate. Instead, he charged towards the planet's interior.
Master Red's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Trying to escape after coming to the Red Planet?
You're courting death! "As he spoke, the entire red planet trembled as the temperature suddenly rose. He wanted to burn Lu Yin alive.
Suddenly, black and white flashed in front of him. His mind trembled as he realized that this was a spiritual force attack. This was a battle technique from the Daynight clan.
Outside the Red Planet, an old man appeared. His hair was a mess of black and white, and he looked at the Red Master solemnly. "Daynight Force."
Mistress Hong looked up at the old man. "You're from the Daynight clan?
You're a traitor of the Dayking bloodline. "
This old man was Duan Daynight, and he was the one who had activated the array beneath the ancestral land's stone tablet to prevent the elders from rescuing the Nightking Planet. He had followed Zhuo Daynight into the Outerverse and was now helping Lu Yin deal with Mistress Hong.
"You're courting death! I'll eradicate you traitors on behalf of the Nightking clan!" Mistress Hong barked. She raised a hand, and flames filled the sky above the red planet as a giant figure stood up. This was the Blaze Realm's top battle technique, the Great Fire God. It was Eccentric Chi's signature battle technique.
Duan Daynight's expression turned serious as he continuously attacked Mistress Hong with his spiritual force. Fortunately, Mistress Hong was heavily injured and could not use her power as an Emissary. Otherwise, Duan Daynight would not even be qualified to fight against her.
Although Mistress Hong was an Emissary, she was the weakest in terms of spiritual force, and she had been suppressed by Duan Daynight multiple times.
The Great Fire God raised a fist and punched Duan Daynight.
Duan Daynight's face flushed red as he was sent flying by the Great Fire God's punch. He spat out a mouthful of blood as he faced an Emissary head-on. Even a heavily injured Emissary was a close shave.
He had come here to repay Lu Yin for saving Zhuo Daynight's life, as well as the entire Dayking bloodline.
However, this was all he could do, and he was only able to delay Mistress Hong for half a minute.
Half a minute was enough for Lu Yin to venture deep into the red planet.
Just as Mistress Hong was about to continue attacking Duan Daynight, her expression suddenly changed. She looked down and saw the high temperature pressing down on her from all directions. "Lu Yin, how did you know that thing was in the red planet?"
Mistress Hong already knew Lu Yin's goal, but it was too late.
Lu Yin was ecstatic. He waved his hand and used the Yu Secret Art once more. An irregular crystal appeared in his palm, and within it was a flame. This was karmic fire.
The Blaze Realm's strongest battle technique, the Karmic Flame Sword, could only be used with karmic fire. This was Mistress Hong's greatest trump card. Even if he was heavily injured and had dropped from the Emissary realm, the Karmic Flame Sword was still enough to instantly kill anyone below the Emissary realm. It could even pose a fatal threat to an Emissary. This was Mistress Hong's trump card, and now, Lu Yin had obtained it.
In the innermost region of the red planet, a cloud of smoke had disappeared. It was the old smoker.
Lu Yin had continuously conversed with Mistress Hong in order to buy time for the old smoker to find the karmic fire. Only by knowing its location could Lu Yin use the Yu Secret Art to obtain it. As for entering the planet's core, it was a matter of distance.
If he was too far away, he would not be able to obtain the Yu Secret Art, which was why he had rushed underground.
Everything was going smoothly.
Mistress Hong had already seen Lu Yin obtain the karmic fire. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her grievous injuries had relapsed, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood.
At first, she had thought that Lu Yin had fled in a panic, but now it seemed that Lu Yin had been planning this for a long time. He had even asked the Daynight clan traitor to buy time for him. How had he known that the karmic fire was in the red planet?
How had he found it?
Mistress Hong suddenly thought of someone: the old smoker, the assassin who had tried to assassinate her multiple times but had managed to escape unscathed. Only this assassin could enter the red planet without Mistress Hong noticing.
She had miscalculated.
Lu Yin had mobilized all the power he had at his disposal to launch the most fatal attack on Mistress Hong.
Mistress Hong was furious. She had thought that she had lured Lu Yin to the red planet as part of her plan, but now she had been tricked instead. Mistress Hong roared, causing the entire red planet to crack open. Boundless flames were sucked into her body, and her stomach glowed.
In the distance, Elder Tan was aghast; the sect master had gone mad.
Within the red planet, Lu Yin looked up in a daze as Mistress Hong absorbed the flames. He then silently sprinkled Elder Wu's poison, which had been upgraded to twelve times, into the flames.
Lu Yin watched as the poisonous flames were sucked into Mistress Hong's body and waited for it to take effect. However, Mistress Hong sneered. "I've already been poisoned, so it doesn't matter how much comes. Did you think that I didn't see your despicable actions?"
She pressed down with one hand, causing the entire red planet to press down on Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was inwardly furious; he had miscalculated and wasted a bottle of poison.
He broke free from the ground and rushed to the surface. He raised a hand and sent an Empty Palm at Mistress Hong.
Mistress Hong's expression changed, and she dodged. Even an Emissary had to dodge the Empty Palm, which showed just how powerful Lu Yin's Empty Palm was. At the same time, it also showed that Mistress Hong's injuries were too severe. Otherwise, even if the Empty Palm could push her back two steps at his peak, it would not be able to harm her.
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. It was good that Mistress Hong was wary of the Empty Palm, but he was afraid that Mistress Hong would not be.
Mistress Hong stretched out her hands, and the flames converged into a sword that slashed at Lu Yin.
There was no sword technique involved, only an indescribably high temperature. Lu Yin forcefully endured the attack, and his body was sent flying. The high temperature roasted his universal armor, and even though it could not harm his physical body, Lu Yin could still feel the scorching heat.
If the temperature had been any higher, it would have been hard to say.
At that moment, Mistress Hong's sword descended once more. Lu Yin's pupils transformed into runes that weakened the number of rune lines as he released his spiritual force. "Daynight — Tribute."
Daynight's Tribute was the highest spiritual force battle technique that Lu Yin had grasped, and it could be considered the highest spiritual force battle technique in the entire Daynight clan.
This was the first time that Lu Yin had used the Nightking Heaven-Opening Technique against someone, and his target was the heavily injured Mistress Hong.
Mistress Hong's body trembled, and he was about to attack a third time when the scene in front of him changed. He saw his master, the lofty man who seemed to be able to incinerate space itself. Mistress Hong's pupils shrank when he saw his master. "Impossible! You can't still be alive!"
The man in front of Mistress Hong raised a hand. "Wretched disciple, you ambushed your master and stole the position of sect master. Today, your master will clean up the sect." He then raised his right hand and slashed down.
The words "clean up the sect" jolted Mistress Hong back to her senses, and she thought about the plan and Lu Yin. This was an illusion, and she did not resist the man's attack. Instead, she slashed out in all directions, intending to break through this illusion.
From what she knew, this slash would cause everything around her to vanish.
However, the man's hand slammed into Mistress Hong's forehead. Mistress Hong felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and she spat out a mouthful of blood as she stared at the man in disbelief. How could this be?
This had to be an illusion! What kind of illusion could be so terrifying?
His pupils had turned crimson red.
"Wretched disciple, you still dare to resist!" The man slapped down again.
Mistress Hong roared, and flames erupted from her body, burning everything around her.
The next moment, Mistress Hong's vision changed, and she returned to the red planet. A wisp of white smoke had appeared out of nowhere and coiled around her neck. Mistress Hong's face was deathly pale, and his eyes were bloodshot. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. "Lu Yin, I'll kill you!" The red planet shattered, and flames surged up from underground to envelop him.
Even the white smoke was incinerated. Even though the old smoker had tried to assassinate Mistress Hong many times, it had not been of much use. Mistress Hong was not someone he could deal with, and Mistress Hong didn't even care about him.
Lu Yin panted heavily, as the Daynight's Tribute was too taxing on his spiritual force. His muscles were trembling, and he felt dizzy and nauseous.
