"Count me in. Although I wasn't thrown here by the Four Balances, I was thrown here by the Zijin family. Those birds are from Shenwu Plane."
"I came here of my own free will, but I don't like the Four Balances. We're all comrades, so I'll help you out when we get out."
"Haha, we'll kill the Four Balances when we get out. We'll become enemies with the rulers of this region."
"Hahaha, brother, you're so heroic."
"Heroic."
…
Che Zhan was excited. "Well said. Everyone here and those who sacrificed themselves outside are all brothers. We'll share our joys and sorrows."
"Why don't we become sworn brothers? We'll live and die together," someone suggested.
"Sworn brothers my ass! Is there a need?
We've already lived and died together. Brothers, if you have any wishes, just say it. The survivors will fulfill them. "
"I want to overthrow the Wang family."
"I want to overthrow Shenwu Plane."
"I want to roast those birds."
"I want to peek at a hundred female disciples from the Frigid Immortal Sect bathing."
…
Before they died, some people were numb, while others were excited. The more they spoke, the more excited they became.
Lu Yin stood up, and the Star Chessboard appeared beneath his feet. He moved Old Mother Eastmountain inside while he blocked the entrance. He turned around and smiled at the crowd. "Perhaps none of us will die."
Everyone was stunned. No matter how lively the conversation was, they were just talking about it.
"Right, I'm called Long Seven. When you overthrow the Four Balances, remember not to implicate me," Lu Yin said. He then took out the Tianhuang Formation sourcebox. It was time to use it.
What kind of concept was a barren land? When they had first arrived in the New World, the land had been dark red, and the lakes had been filled with Corpse Kings. This was not a barren land. A true barren land was one where not even a blade of grass grew, and even the color had been stripped away.
When the Tianhuang Formation sourcebox was released, it covered an endless area and turned it into a land of death. The land had originally been dark red, but it had been dyed red by blood. Now, it was gray, a dry gray.
As for the Corpse Kings, they had completely disappeared.
In terms of power vessels, no one could compare to Lu Yin. The Tianhuang Formation sourcebox had been given to him by the Sage Celestial Master, and it could unleash a power level of 800,000. In addition, it was a sourcebox array that covered a large area. Its destructive power even surpassed that of Zhou Tang's Warring States.
This was also the most terrifying treasure that had been released so far.
"Look, there's no monster," Lu Yin said.
Everyone looked outside in a daze. Indeed, it was gone.
Che Zhan blinked. "Kid, why didn't you take out such a great treasure earlier?"
Lu Yin shrugged. "This sourcebox attacks in all directions. If I had used it earlier, you would have all died. If you hadn't suggested hiding underground, this sourcebox wouldn't have been able to be used."
"That makes sense," Che Zhan said.
Lu Yin's heart was bleeding. Ever since he had arrived at the back of the battlefield, he had used up too many good items. He had been constantly using them, but there had been no gains. It was truly disgusting.
Mister Guo spoke up, which was a rare occurrence. "It's useless. There are Corpse Kings everywhere around here. Once one group is dealt with, another group will appear."
"At least we can catch our breath," Hong said in a deep voice.
The others also heaved a sigh of relief. They no longer vented their emotions as unbridled as before. They were too tired and needed to rest.
"Mister Guo, when will the next batch of corpse kings arrive?" Zhou Tang asked.
Mister Guo shook his head. "I'm not sure, but the Corpse Kings need time to gather. These Corpse Kings aren't brainless, and they have experts who can command them. To them, we're just lambs waiting to be slaughtered."
These words were cruel but realistic.

"Little brother, it's my turn." Mister Guo stood up and walked to the entrance.
Lu Yin said, "I only used a power vessel, so I wasn't injured. I can still fight."
Mister Guo smiled and looked at Lu Yin with admiration. "Go back and rest. You've done enough. You barely rested from start to finish. Let us old things finish our last shift."
"Long Seven, come and rest. Mister Guo never discounts his words," Che Zhan said.
Lu Yin was grateful. "Thank you."
Back underground, Che Zhan was envious. "As expected of someone from the Four Cardinal Scales. He has that kind of power vessel."
"The Humble School gave it to me," Lu Yin said.
Che Zhan was shocked. "The Humble School?
You're from the Humble School? "
"Long Seven, acting Sect Master of the Humble School, Huai Yuan. He personally exposed the three Guan brothers and Sect Master Yun Mubai as Redbacks. Is that right?" Hong Ge spoke up, surprising everyone.
If the Four Cardinal Scales were hated, then the Humble School was respected. After all, they had been capturing spies for many years. Regardless of whether or not they had been wrongly accused, the Humble School had contributed greatly. If not for them, the situation in the Astral Trees would have been even more chaotic.
Lu Yin modestly replied, "I was just lucky."
Che Zhan exclaimed, "I remember now! I heard that a White Dragon son-in-law rose to power and even dared to expose Yun Mubai as a Redback at the Four Cardinal Scales. He caused a commotion in the Four Cardinal Scales and even attracted the attention of a Half-Ancestor. So it was you."
Lu Yin smiled.
"You dare to do what others don't. I admire you," Hong Ge said loudly.
Old Mother Eastmountain looked at him seriously. "I admire you as well. Not just anyone dares to provoke a place like the Cloud Ladder, and the Smoke Cloud Sect is even more behemoth. If you're not careful, you'll die. Your situation isn't good, but you're still able to do this.
The man who had been clamoring to overthrow Shenwu Plane spoke up as well. "Brother, I admire you. I only dared to say it, but you dared to do it."
"I admire you."
Lu Yin was bitter. "Because of this, I'm about to be removed from the White Dragon Clan." His attitude then changed. "But it doesn't matter. It's just the White Dragon Clan. I'm still doing well in the Humble School."
"Exactly. The Four Cardinal Scales are hated, so it's better to leave."
"Actually, the female disciples of the Four Cardinal Scales are pretty."
"Scram, you pervert."
"Right, Long Seven, I remember now. You're Half-Ancestor Kui Luo's successor!" someone exclaimed.
Everyone was at a loss at first, but then they all remembered. They looked at Lu Yin in shock, their gazes as strange as they could possibly be.
Lu Yin was speechless, as he had assumed that they had forgotten.
"You're that lunatic, no, Half-Ancestor Kui Luo's successor?" Che Zhan looked at Lu Yin in shock.
Even Mister Guo turned to look at him.
Lu Yin pursed his lips and laughed dryly. "I just obtained the resources that he left out. I don't count as his successor. Definitely not."
Che Zhan patted Lu Yin's shoulder. "Brother, you have a lot of troubles."
Lu Yin raised a brow. He hadn't wanted to, but who knew that it would be leaked?
"Half-Ancestor Kui Luo is our role model," someone else said.
"Scram, you pervert." Someone else quickly retorted.
Lu Yin leaned against the wall tiredly. Before this, most of these people had not known each other, but now, they were all very familiar with each other. The battlefield was the best way to bring people closer to each other. This saying was quite true.
It would be great if he could bring these people back to the Fifth Mainland, as they were all experts. Hold on, Lu Yin's eyes lit up. Why not?
He had Supreme Mountain!
Lu Yin had not thought about it at first.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
Now that he thought about it, he felt even more tempted.
He carefully looked at these people and saw that they had all experienced the battlefield on the other side. They had all walked out of blood and fire, and they could endure despair. They also hated the Four Cardinal Scales, and they all admired Lu Yin. He was a helper that had fallen from the sky.
The more he thought about it, the more tempted he became, and Lu Yin tried to think of a way to bring these people away.
"How do you cultivate during the Warring States period?"
Half a day later, Lu Yin asked Zhou Tang.
Zhou Tang replied, "When the spirit is there, success will follow naturally."
Of course, Lu Yin already knew this.
Actually, he wanted to ask more about the Lu family, but when he thought about bringing these people away, there were some things that he could not say.
Out of boredom, he asked Che Zhan, "Who is that Mister Guo?"
"Teacher," Che Zhan replied bluntly, but the answer left Lu Yin confused. "What do you mean?"
Che Zhan replied, "Literally, he's a teacher from the Myriad Daos Clan."
"Myriad Daos Clan?" Lu Yin had never heard of it.
Che Zhan saw Lu Yin's confusion and found it strange. "You don't know about the Myriad Daos Clan?"
It seemed to be common knowledge. If Lu Yin had just arrived in this region of space, he would have covered it up, but there was no need to do so now.
Lu Yin simply shook his head. "I don't."
Che Zhan found it strange, but he still explained, "The Myriad Daos Clan was one of the few clans that could settle down in the Top Realm. They were subordinate clans to the Lu family. Unfortunately, after the Lu family disappeared, more than half of the Myriad Daos Clan disappeared as well. Only a few people remained, and Mister Guo is their teacher."
Lu Yin nodded. Another Lu family descendant. There were countless Lu family descendants in this region of space, and once his identity was exposed, who knew how many people would try to find him and how many people would die?
Before he had absolute confidence, he would not reveal his identity. Otherwise, he would only harm others.
For two days, nothing happened. On the third day, Mister Guo's voice rang out. "They're here." His tone was calm, as if he had already expected this.
The earth trembled, and everyone looked outside. Had they still come?
Death was approaching.
Lu Yin looked outside. Since he had decided to bring these people to the Fifth Mainland, he had to do more. What he had done before was not enough.
Unexpectedly, the countless Corpse Kings did not immediately charge towards the area. Instead, they stopped a few hundred kilometers underground.
To them, a few hundred kilometers could be traversed in the blink of an eye.
Mister Guo's face sank. "It seems like they're worried about the power vessels. How smart."
Hondo spoke up. "Even those monsters can't keep exhausting themselves. The power vessels' destructive power is too great. They'll definitely send out experts next."
Mister Guo suddenly interrupted, "Don't jinx it."
Hondo's eyelids twitched. In the distance, a Corpse King appeared. Then, two Corpse Kings, five Emissary level Corpse Kings. With a roar, one of the Corpse Kings charged forward, arriving in front of Mister Guo in the blink of an eye. A brown barrier appeared around its body as it viciously slammed into Mister Guo.
Mister Guo's expression did not change. A ferule appeared in his hand, and he twirled it around his fingertips as he pushed the Corpse King back. The void suddenly distorted as a huge force tore through space. Mister Guo and the Corpse King stepped into the Astral Source Universe.
Others could not see clearly, but only the Emissaries could clearly see the battle situation.
Lu Yin dripped some spring water into his eye, as there was not much left. He focused his gaze and saw that within the Astral Source Universe, the Corpse Kings were being suppressed by Mister Guo.
