This was the Top Realm, and aside from the Four Libras, there were no other major powers here. If this was the case, he could only imagine how many cultivators from the Middle Realm were heading to the battlefield on the other side.
The entire Astral Tree Realm was mobilized.
A few days later, with Qing Chen rushing at full speed, they finally reached the southernmost part of the Mother Tree, the legendary Realm of Trees.
The Realm of Trees was set up by the Four Libras, isolating the battlefield from the Top Realm and the Middle Realm so that those outside the battlefield could not see the cruel battlefield on the other side.
Although the battlefield was very far away, the stronger the cultivator, the greater the impact. The five array bases, in particular, could be seen no matter how far away they were.
The Realm of Trees not only blocked vision, but it also prevented cultivators from entering the battlefield on the other side without permission.
Lu Yin took a step forward, and under Qing Chen's lead, they passed through the Realm of Trees and arrived at the back of the Mother Tree.
It was just one step, but the difference was like heaven and earth.
In front of them were huge array bases that stretched endlessly into the distance. The sky was dark, and planets were rotating. The surroundings were filled with smoke, chaotic star energy, and all sorts of other energies. The smell of blood was everywhere.
The thick stench of blood came from all directions, but there was no battle in front of them. At least, Lu Yin could not see the battlefield.
"This is the back of the Mother Tree, the cruelest battlefield in the Astral Tree Realm. Below us is the second array base, and the real battlefield is below it. There is a land between the Lower Realm and the Middle Realm, and countless monsters have appeared there and are climbing up the array bases. Only those with the strength of an Emissary or above can tear through the void and fight their way to the second array base."
"Do you see the planets in the distance?
Every planet has countless monsters, and many cultivators are fighting those monsters to the death. Every once in a while, a planet will explode, destroying the monsters in a suicidal manner. "
Lu Yin looked into the distance. Was the second array base beneath his feet?
Outside the second array base, there were many planets floating in the sky, and countless monsters were climbing below.
He could almost feel the murderous auras of these monsters.
Suddenly, the soles of his feet trembled, and a terrifying feeling rose from his back. Lu Yin felt a behemoth awakening, and an unstoppable force was activated. Then, there was a huge explosion.
"The second array base has been activated. The battle below is not good, and every activation consumes a lot of energy," Qing Chen said solemnly.
Many cultivators appeared in the surroundings. They walked out from the World of Trees and looked at the scene in front of them in shock.
Most cultivators would never be able to see this place in their entire lives. Those who could come to this part of the starry sky were all elites.
Even so, the elites were panicking at this moment. The second formation base was activated to kill monsters, which made their hearts tremble.
"Long Qi, report to the headquarters of the second formation base yourself. There is a teleportation device in front that can teleport you directly to the headquarters. I have to go support other places," Qing Chen said and then left.
Not too far away, a middle-aged man spoke up, "Brothers, it's time to make a name for yourself. This is the battlefield, report in!"
The group of people behind the man shouted. Their eyes were filled with murderous intent as they charged forward.
Most of the people in that group were Limiteers, and the middle-aged man was only a Cruiser. However, no one dared to laugh at them, regardless of whether they were Limiteers, Cruisers, or Hunters.
Even an Enlighter was nothing more than an ant on this battlefield. Luck was the key to survival.
Lu Yin's footsteps were light as he headed towards the teleportation device.
He looked very young, which attracted a lot of attention. A short man approached him and whispered, "Brother, you're so young. Are you from a large family?"
Lu Yin glanced at him. This person was just an Explorer. "No."
The short man smiled. "Regardless of whether you are or not, once you're on this battlefield, no matter how strong you are, you have to form a group to help each other. This is especially true for people like us who don't have any background. If we help each other, our chances of survival will be higher."
Lu Yin was curious. "How do we help each other?"
The short man's eyes lit up, and he eagerly explained, "The five formation bases are five grand battlefields. On these battlefields, if you don't have enough luck, then even the strongest person will die and not live for more than a few days. That's why some people spontaneously form alliances to help each other and fight for a chance of survival."
"Isn't there distribution on the battlefield?
How can we spontaneously form alliances? "Lu Yin was puzzled, as he had never encountered such a situation before.
The short man whispered, "Following distribution is just one method. We're all cultivators, and cultivators from the outside world come to support us every day. How can we be as obedient as soldiers? Thus, there's another flexible method, which is to spontaneously form alliances. For example, in the Four Cardinal Scales, the disciples of the Frigid Immortal Sect will be placed together, and it's the same for Shenwu Plane. As for those of us who don't have any background, we'll find powerhouses to protect us. I belong to the Red Alliance, and if you join us, our leader will request for you to be transferred over so that we can work together to defend against the enemy."
Lu Yin had never thought that there would be such a method, but when he thought about it, it was normal. In order to prevent conflicts between factions, it was naturally best to disperse, but on this battlefield, there was no need to do so. It was better for cultivators to spontaneously form alliances, as they could better protect themselves and kill their enemies. As for factions, whether or not they could survive was another matter. Besides, the Four Cardinal Scales would always be at the top, so no one would care if these people formed alliances.
"How about it, brother?
Join our Red Alliance. Our Alliance Master's power level is close to that of an Envoy, and he's one of the strongest people under Commander Chun. With the Alliance Master's protection, you'll definitely be able to protect yourself with your Enlighter strength, "the short man tempted.
Lu Yin was curious. "Commander Chun?"
The short man replied, "There's a commander at the base of the array, and there's also a formation eye. They're all Half-Progenitors, and under the commander are six Commanders who are directly under the commander's command. They're assigned to the base of the array, and we're under the command of Commander Chun. He's a powerhouse who's survived four Origin Tribulations."
As they spoke, a red stream of air gushed out from underground, causing Lu Yin to frown. It reeked of blood.
When the short man saw the stench of blood, his eyes filled with fear, and he subconsciously trembled.
Lu Yin patted the short man's shoulder, which gave him a fright. "Thank you, brother, but I can't join the Red Alliance. I've been ordered to clean up the Terror Ants."
The short man was helpless, but he also sympathized with Lu Yin. "You're here to clean up the Terror Ants again. Be careful, brother. The battlefield at the base of the array is still relatively safe, but there's a chance that you'll encounter some monsters that have climbed up the mother tree. That's even more dangerous. I hope you can return safely."
Lu Yin smiled and walked over to the teleportation device.
It could teleport over a hundred people at a time, and it would directly teleport them to the commander's headquarters.
Lu Yin had found it strange that there were no teleportation devices in this region of space, but he hadn't expected that there would be one at the back of the battlefield.
The battlefield was constantly changing, and there were teleportation devices.
Only then did the device work normally.
The void distorted, and Lu Yin felt as if his body was being torn apart. When he looked around again, he realized that he was already far away from the World of Trees. Above him, a planet suddenly shattered, and a huge pressure descended. Many people within the teleportation device tried to avoid it.
Lu Yin had not expected to encounter such a situation.
The cultivators around him were already numb, and they didn't even look at him.
"Come out and report!" someone shouted. Not too far away, a cultivator who was infinitely close to becoming an Emissary glared at them and pointed to their right. That was where they were supposed to report.
Lu Yin's mission was to clean up the Terror Ants, but it was actually to eliminate spies. His status was special, and he didn't need to report to a normal place. Instead, he directly contacted the commander of the second base, Xia Yan.
Above their heads, meteors crashed down one after another from the shattered planet.
The meteors were quite powerful, and even Limiteers had to be careful to avoid them.
Just as Lu Yin was about to contact Xia Yan, a terrifying gust of wind swept past him. He didn't even have time to react before the wind tore the meteor fragments to dust. "Get the hell out here!" someone shouted. The void was torn apart, revealing a large group of monsters. These were Corpse Kings with scarlet vertical eyes.
A shrill alarm sounded, and experts from the commander's headquarters walked out and attacked the void.
Within the void, the leader of the Corpse Kings looked up. Their scarlet vertical eyes began to change, turning red. An indescribably terrifying aura swept through the heavens, tearing the void apart once more as it spread towards the commander's headquarters.
High above the headquarters, a middle-aged man stood tall with a solemn expression. "Red eyes. No wonder you dare attack my headquarters. You're courting death."
The leader of the Corpse Kings grinned. "Those who resist the Eternals will die."
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures collided in the void. Lu Yin felt a sharp pain in his head, and he almost bled out of his orifices. Many people around him had already fainted.
The collision between the red-eyed Corpse King and the middle-aged man caused the void to collapse. The pressure from the collision was terrifying, as this was a collision with a power level of more than a million.
Lu Yin looked up and saw a group of Corpse Kings charging out of the void. These Corpse Kings were humanity's greatest enemies.
Sometimes, Lu Yin thought of a question. It was very difficult for Corpse Kings to be born, so why were there so many of them in this region? Why were they able to attack the Astral Tree Domain and suppress it? The only explanation was that there was an even larger Eternal Kingdom in this region that specialized in producing Corpse Kings.
Experts from the headquarters flew out one after another, and a few of them were Envoys or stronger. There were also quite a few Enlighters.
Among the group of Corpse Kings, there were a few that could undergo Corpse King Transformation, and the rest of the Corpse Kings were all Enlighters.
There was a loud bang as the red-eyed Corpse King and the middle-aged man shattered the void and crashed into the Astral Source Universe.
"What are you standing there for? Kill!" the old man shouted from nearby and charged into the sky. However, he was instantly pressed down to the ground by a Corpse King. This Corpse King had transformed, and its eyes had turned grey. Coupled with its innate power level and its fearlessness of death, humans were more likely to lose against those of the same level.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold, and the Star Scattered Chessboard appeared beneath his feet.
The old man watched as the Corpse King's grey eyes widened and its claw descended. He sighed, as he had still died. Suddenly, the scene in front of him changed, and the old man disappeared. He looked up and saw a youth under the Corpse King's claw. "Be careful."
Lu Yin reached out and grabbed the Corpse King.
