A war would not end with a single person, nor would it end with a single Corpse King. Someone would have to deal with it.
There was a loud boom as the ground shook and the metal plains cracked open. Lu Yin almost lost his footing. In the distance, an Emissary had been smashed into a puddle of blood by the giant Corpse King.
This was already the second Emissary, and Lu Yin's face paled. That giant Corpse King had not only obstructed the sourcebox array, but it had also continuously slaughtered Emissaries. Back at the headquarters, that giant Corpse King had been held back by Commander Chun while Old Monster Long had dealt with it. Here, there was only one Commander Zuo, and there was no Old Monster Long to deal with Marquis Qing Zhu.
The others could not deal with it at all.
Hua Beibei fled to a spot not too far away from Lu Yin. "Expert, save me!"
Lu Yin turned around and slapped the Corpse King that had been chasing after Hua Beibei to death.
Hua Beibei was in a pitiful state. His arm had been broken, and half of his body was covered in blood. "Expert, thank goodness I saw you. Otherwise, I would have died. These monsters are too scary."
Lu Yin had only saved him in passing, but he was still watching the giant Corpse King fight against two Emissaries by itself. His brows furrowed.
Hua Beibei followed Lu Yin's gaze, and his face paled. "Expert, you're not planning to deal with that thing, are you? Don't think too much. A senior from my Frigid Immortal Sect who had passed through four Origin Tribulations died at the hands of that giant Corpse King. That's not something you can deal with. Only a Commander can do so."
He suddenly remembered that this person in front of him was a Commander.
"I'm talking about the Commanders on the battlefield," Hua Beibei added.
"Two Emissaries from the Star Alliance have already died," Lu Yin said in a low voice.
Hua Beibei sighed. "There's nothing we can do. Without a Commander, the Star Alliance has to deal with this. They're the suicide squad on the battlefield."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. The first time he had heard of the Star Alliance was when Long Kui had taken him to the Sword Stele's Liu family. At the time, he had seen a man who was unwilling to join the Star Alliance but had been forcefully taken away. At the time, he had not known what the Star Alliance was.
Now that his status had risen and he had chatted with others, he had gradually understood.
The so-called Star Alliance was the Alliance of Star Emissaries. Those who could join the Star Alliance were all Star Emissaries. These Star Emissaries were not from the Four Way Scales, the Liu Family, or the School of Agriculture. They were Star Emissaries who had committed grave sins and needed to atone for their sins.
It was not easy to cultivate to the level of an Emissary. Even the Four Cardinal Scales could not bear to execute them, so they formed the Star Alliance and allowed these Emissaries to join. They became a sharp blade for the humans to fight against the monsters on the backside of the battlefield. They were also the suicide squad that Hua Beibei had mentioned.
The second formation had been able to hold on for so long because of the reinforcements from the Star Alliance. Star Alliance experts were everywhere on the battlefield.
To the outside world, the people in the Star Alliance were all Emissaries who had committed grave mistakes. However, only some people knew that some of them had indeed committed grave mistakes, but most of them had done so because they did not obey the Four Way Scale.
The Four Way Scales controlled the Astral Tree Realm, not the Top Realm, Middle Realm, and Outer Realm. There were countless cultivators in these places, and there were bound to be experts who rebelled against the Four Way Scales. They were either slaughtered or recruited. The Four Way Scales' authority in the Astral Tree Realm was growing day by day, but these people were gradually disappearing.
For example, the Emissary that Lu Yin had met back then had been unwilling to submit to the Four Way Scales. Perhaps his own family's power had already been annihilated, or perhaps he had obtained some peace after being captured by the Star Alliance. Lu Yin did not know.
He only knew that the Star Alliance was not resplendent, but rather sorrowful.
However, to these monsters, the Star Alliance was a nightmare.
When he saw an Emissary being sent flying by a giant Corpse King, Lu Yin's gaze became resolute. He tapped his foot lightly and disappeared. Hua Beibei was forced back by the shockwaves caused by Lu Yin's extreme speed. She helplessly looked into the distance.
Lu Yin was not someone who liked to court death. He had the Cloud Lattice Robe, the Plan Secret Art, and a teleportation array. Furthermore, he had observed the giant Corpse King for a long time. After confirming that nothing would happen to it, he had decided to act. He would act as long as it was within his capabilities. This was a battlefield for humans, and he could not afford to take a single step back.
The giant Corpse King's legs were enveloped by the red glow of the sourcebox array, and the red glow of the sourcebox array sliced open wounds all over its body. In front of the Corpse King, a man roared as he raised his blade and slashed downwards. Countless blade strikes followed, some of which were illusory while others were realistic.
The giant Corpse King raised an arm to block and then slapped out, sending the man flying. At that moment, Lu Yin appeared in front of the giant Corpse King and raised his hand to unleash a series of empty palms.
Dozens of palms landed on the giant Corpse King's forehead. Even though the giant Corpse King had ignored Lu Yin's empty palms, it was still momentarily stunned when dozens of palms landed on its head.
Beneath the Corpse King's feet, another Emissary attacked. It was an old man whose entire body was red and covered in raging flames that destroyed the void. The flames spread along the Corpse King's legs.
The Corpse King lowered its head and stomped down. Its legs were even more severely injured by the red light of the sourcebox array, and the fresh blood was burned away by the flames as soon as it appeared.
The Emissary hurriedly retreated.
A palm also appeared in front of Lu Yin. He had thought that he could use the Plan Secret Art to avoid it, but he realized that he had underestimated this Corpse King. As the palm approached, the void became unstable, and the Plan Secret Art could not be activated.
Any expert at the Emissary level could not be underestimated. Two Emissaries had already been slapped to death, but Lu Yin had still thought that he could use the Plan Secret Art to deal with this Corpse King. He had been too naive.
He was sent flying by the palm and coughed up blood in midair. He wanted to twist his body, but he could not move at all. The Corpse King's enormous strength had suppressed him to the point that he could not even move. He had no choice but to continuously use the Plan Secret Art. Finally, just as he was about to crash into the ground, he used the Secret Art to move some distance away. Even though his body still slammed into the ground due to inertia, it was still much better than crashing into the ground.
Lu Yin stood up and coughed up blood again. He looked up and saw that his injuries were not light this time. Even Yun Luyi had not been able to completely defend against this attack. If not for the Emissary below him, the Corpse King's palm would have been even more powerful.
Not too far away from Lu Yin, a middle-aged man walked out of the void with a dead Corpse King behind him.
The man had seen what had just happened and stared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin took a healing pill and panted heavily. At that moment, a horde of ants appeared on the ground and crept towards him. He slapped them to death and gritted his teeth as he stared at the Corpse King in the distance. His mind raced as he tried to think of something he could use to deal with this thing.
While he was thinking, he felt a gaze not far away from him for a long time. He turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with messy hair, an unshaven beard, and a dispirited expression. He looked listless, just like a homeless man. It was this man who had been staring at him from the moment he hit the ground, and until now, he had not shifted his gaze.
Lu Yin met the man's gaze. The man's eyes had been empty at first, but as soon as they met Lu Yin's eyes, they suddenly changed. They became shocked, excited, and then dejected again. Many emotions had flashed through his eyes in an instant.
“
Why are you looking at me? "Lu Yin was on high alert. This battlefield might not be without Redbacks.
The man stared at Lu Yin. He had originally been looking at Lu Yin's back, but when Lu Yin turned around to look at him, he also saw Lu Yin's appearance clearly. Lu Yin's appearance actually resembled the Young Master's. He had never thought that he would be able to see such an appearance.
Unfortunately, this person was not the Young Master. It was just a 50% resemblance.
"Kid, why are you attacking?
Aren't you afraid of death? "the man asked. His tone was dejected, casual, and filled with desolation.
Lu Yin frowned. "Can I retreat if I'm afraid of death?"
The man's gaze shifted as he stared at Lu Yin's face. He suddenly smiled happily, carefreely, and refreshingly. Along with his smile, the nearby Corpse Kings and horde ants were all killed. This was not an astral source, nor was it a battle technique. Instead, it was something Lu Yin was familiar with: battle force. However, this battle force did not have any color.
Lu Yin was shocked. With his domain, he could sense how terrifying this man's battle force was. He did not know how to describe it, but it was like a dormant beast had bared its fangs. The moment his domain came into contact with that battle force, it was as if he was completely exposed to the beast.
"You just used ten-lined battle force, didn't you?" the man asked as he looked up at the giant Corpse King.
Lu Yin did not deny it. The Emptiness Palm that he had used against the giant Corpse King had also contained battle force.
"Kid, look carefully. Above ten-lined battle force is called the Warring States Period." As soon as he finished speaking, the man's feet moved without any wind. An invisible current pushed aside the void layer by layer as if it was as simple as pushing aside a wave. As the void was pushed aside, everyone who came into contact with it, be it the Corpse King or the horde ants, all stopped moving and looked over in fear.
In the distance, the blade-wielding Emissary who had been fighting the giant Corpse King paled when he came into contact with the void. He looked at the man. "Brother Zhou, why do you have to do this? Just wait a little longer. You'll be able to see it sooner or later."
The man's gaze turned cold, and his aura soared into the sky. Even the broken blade seemed to sense it, and it trembled, which attracted the attention of the Left Commander.
"Even if the main family was here, they would still support my decision, regardless of whether it's right or wrong. This is a battlefield for humans, and even an Enlighter junior dares to charge in. I, Zhou Tang, cannot disgrace the main family. I was once bestowed with the surname Lu." As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura swept across the horizon in all directions. The man was like a true ruler, and although his battle force was invisible, it caused the void to burn and melt.
Countless people were stunned as they sensed this terrifying aura.
"It's, it's the Warring States Period, the Limitless Realm of Battle Force!" someone exclaimed. His face was deathly pale, but he was also filled with fanaticism. As someone who also used battle force, his desire for the Warring States Period was similar to the desire of a domain cultivator to reach the Void God Realm.
Lu Yin stared at the man in a daze as he sensed the terrifying power around him. Was this the realm above golden battle force?
This unparalleled control and incomprehensible tyranny was battle force. However, what Lu Yin was thinking about right now was not battle force, but rather the man's words. This person was called Zhou Tang, and he had once been bestowed with the surname Lu. This person was from the Lu family, and he referred to the Lu family as the main family.
Above Lu Yin, the Left Commander's brows relaxed. With this person taking action, the battle situation would become even more stable.
Across from him, the Marquis of Green Bamboo was astonished. "He's actually a descendant of the Lu family. How laughable. A bunch of traitors still have to rely on the power of a descendant of the Lu family. You humans are so pitiful. If the Lu family hadn't been exiled back then, the battlefield wouldn't have been so difficult."
The Left Commander did not reply, but anyone from the Cosmic Trees would not speak on this topic, especially those from the Four Way Scales. This was not a glorious history.
