Lü Yan looked deeply at Lu Yin and smiled bitterly. "If you're from the Neohuman Alliance, then there's no hope for this universe. Legend has it that the power of the Grim Reaper combined with the power of a Corpse King is something that no one can stop.
It's better to just surrender. "
Lu Yin left, but before he left, Lü Yan warned him that there would definitely be a Corpse King powerhouse with a power level of over a million. He should not act unless he was prepared.
Everyone had their own lives, and the prisoners locked up in Kun's Swamp all had exciting lives, regardless of whether they were good or evil. Ordinary people had no right to be locked up in Kun's Swamp.
Lu Yin was rather curious about these prisoners, and he had Green Tea give him information on them as he slowly browsed through them.
A few days later, Lu Yin arrived in front of one of the prisoners. To be more precise, he was in front of a brain that Lord Pig had shown him once before.
This brain's owner had slaughtered humans in a frenzy to obtain immortality, and the last person he had changed was Xin Jiao's son. Because of this, Xin Jiao had imprisoned this brain and tortured it for eternity. Everything it thought of was a nightmare, and by now, this brain had probably gone mad.
There were only a few records on Kun's Swamp, but Lu Yin was able to find other information that Xin Jiao had hidden.
The brain's owner had been an ordinary cultivator, and the reason he had been able to do such crazy things was all because of one person: Xin Jiao's son. Xin Jiao's son was not an innocent person, but the brain's owner's backer. It was not just the brain's owner who had wanted to research immortality, but also Xin Jiao's son.
However, the research had failed, and Xin Jiao's son had died. Because of this, Xin Jiao hated this person and imprisoned him.
Lu Yin could not converse with this brain, and when he looked at this tortured brain, he felt like he was looking at Xin Jiao. Beneath her gentle appearance was an extremely vicious and sinister person. That woman was definitely not as good as she seemed.
There were still about ten days before Mu En would arrive at Kun's Swamp, and out of boredom, Lu Yin asked the Hell Overlord for advice on the Warring States.
He had thought about it for a long time, and he had asked Zhou Tang for advice before. Now, he was asking the Hell Overlord for advice.
"Warring States?
Right, you've also cultivated battle force, right? What level are you at? "The Hell Overlord was curious as he looked down at Lu Yin. His huge body was truly inconvenient.
Golden battle force spread out from Lu Yin's body, shaking the void.
The Hell Master was shocked. "That's not bad. There's almost no one in this universe who can cultivate ten-lined battle force."
"Senior, are you praising yourself?
You're from the Warring States Period. "Lu Yin smiled.
The Hell Overlord shook his head. "The reason why I was able to cultivate to the Warring States Period was because of Progenitor Chen's blood. If it weren't for Progenitor Chen's blood, then nine-lined battle force would have reached its peak. The most important aspect of cultivating battle force is one's spirit, but this universe's ideology imprisons spirit."
"Everyone in this universe believes that battle force can only reach nine lines at most. Let me ask you, if you also believe that, how did you manage to break through your battle force? Unless you can truly reign supreme in the universe and experience that feeling of supremacy, how did you manage to break through?"
Lu Yin raised his head. "I'll be the champion of the Sovereign Tournament."
The Hell Master laughed. "No wonder. Jun Lin is an invincible Paragon among his peers. Naturally, he can break through. How many people in this universe can do what you did?
Even if he can do it, he might not be able to cultivate battle force. It's too difficult. "
Lu Yin nodded, "That's right, it's very difficult. Senior, if I want to reach the Warring States Period, I'll have to reach the peak as well."
The Hell Master thought about it and then took a swig of wine. "Spirit is the most important thing, but under spirit is accumulation. Without a strong physique and accumulation, even if you become the master of the Hall of Honor, you might not be able to break through to the Warring States Period. So, just take a beating."
Lu Yin was stunned. "What?"
The Hell Master grinned. "Take a beating. Things like physique are built through beatings. If you want to become stronger, then you have to take a beating. Battle force will become more powerful the more beatings you take. That's my opinion, but you can ignore it."
Lu Yin smiled bitterly. Fighting was a crazy way to improve battle force. There were no shortcuts to battle force cultivation, and reaching the peak was not something that others could do. Rather, one had to climb up on their own.
Lu Yin had become a Sovereign, but it had not fallen from the sky. If he wanted to reach the peak, he had to put in some effort, and the cultivation of battle force was part of that effort.
"Senior, can you help me? I want to experience the Warring States Period," Lu Yin said loudly.
The Hell Master smashed the wine flask on the ground. "You want to take a beating? Sure. The Warring States Period is what it is." A terrifying aura swept out in all directions, scorching the heavens and causing them to crack. Lu Yin felt the terrifying might of the Warring States Period, and even his breathing became stifled.
A finger appeared in front of him from the Hell Master, and with a flick, Lu Yin blocked with his arms. There was a thump, and he felt as if his arms were about to break. His entire body was sent flying, and the golden battle force around him shattered. His chest felt heavy, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Liu Yefei was shocked, and she immediately appeared in front of the Hell Master, about to attack.
The Hell Master said, "He told me to hit him."
In the distance, Lu Yin felt as if his entire body had been torn apart, and he crashed into the swamp. The surrounding aura of death entered his body, and he took a few deep breaths to recover.
Pain spread throughout his body, and he could not even get up. This was the result of the Hell Master's light attack. He had not used his miniature armor to defend himself, and his body had not been able to withstand it.
When Lord Pig saw this, he hurriedly rushed over. "Alliance Master Lu, Alliance Master Lu, how are you?"
Lu Yin rested for a while before sitting up. He looked at his hands and then at his abdomen. Sure enough, his flesh had been torn apart, and his injuries could be considered serious. However, because he had broken through three stages, the life force within the Upper Intelligence Pass had been constantly replenishing itself. Such serious injuries were not difficult for him to recover from, and it would not take long for him to do so.
A pig's snout appeared in front of him, and Lord Pig stared at Lu Yin with wide eyes. "Alliance Master Lu, how are you?"
Lu Yin calmly replied, "I'm alright. I'm not dead."
Lord Pig was disappointed, but he still said, "That's great. Alliance Master Lu, why did the Hell Master attack you?
Did you hit a sore spot? "
"No." Lu Yin was about to say something when his heart skipped a beat. "A sore spot?
What sore spot? "
Lord Pig carefully approached Lu Yin and whispered, "The Hell Master has been single for many years. He has liked many women, but they all failed. The Hell Master drinks to relieve his loneliness."
"Giant women?" Lu Yin was stunned. Didn't they say that there were no more purebred giants?
Was the Hell Master the only one left?
Lord Pig shook his head. "Human women."
Lu Yin was speechless. It would be strange if they could succeed. One was 30,000 meters tall, while the other was only a meter tall.
"The Hell Master might seem bold and unrestrained, but he's actually a sentimental person. Let me tell you a secret," Lord Pig muttered softly. "The Hell Master even wrote love poems."
Lu Yin blinked, and his expression turned strange. Love … love poems?
"How do you know all this?" Lu Yin was puzzled.
Lord Pig rolled his eyes. "I often see the Hell Master reciting love poems."
Lu Yin pursed his lips and did not want to discuss this any further. "You can leave. I need to recover for a while."
"Do you want me to send you back to the castle?"
"No need."
Within the castle, the Hell Master sat down and continued drinking. That attack had not been light, but the Hell Master had controlled it quite well. It should have been within Lu Yin's tolerance range. Although the injuries were rather severe, he should be able to recover after a few days of rest. After all, it was just a superficial wound.
Lu Yin continued drinking.
Half a day later, Lu Yin returned. He was in an abnormally sorry state, and his clothes were in tatters. There were still a few wounds on his body that had not completely healed, but his injuries were more or less healed.
Liu Yefei and Flower were astonished, as they had all seen how severe Lu Yin's injuries had been. How had he recovered so quickly?
Even they did not know what had happened after breaking through the third stage. Normal injuries would heal in an instant, and even the most severe injuries could be healed as long as one did not die. As for injuries that could not be healed by a Half-Ancestor, Lu Yin still had his die, Time Stop, and Four Pips. If he told others about this, even cultivators like Liu Yefei and Flower would find it inconceivable.
"Eh?
You've recovered? "The Hell Master was astonished, truly astonished.
Lu Yin replied, "Senior, please continue."
The Hell Master was interested. "Alright, then I'll continue." Then, the Warring States' Might burned the void once more.
Lu Yin's gaze trembled. Ever since the Innerverse and Outerverse had been separated, he had been able to use his die's Enhance to increase his external items. After he had been able to kill Enlighters as an Explorer, his path of cultivation had become somewhat different, and external items had become his main means of attack. He had experienced life and death situations before, and he had fought against Nightking Zhenwu and the Shangqing Sect. However, when it came to cultivation, he had never experienced the pressure of being on the brink of death.
That kind of pressure was long-term, and it had never been a moment of life and death in battle.
Right now, Lu Yin wanted to experience this kind of pressure, the pressure of being crushed at any moment.
The Hell Master's finger appeared once more, but this time, Lu Yin was prepared. The Star Chessboard appeared beneath his feet, and he tried to move. However, the Hell Master's Warring States stirred up the void, making it impossible for Lu Yin to dodge. He could not even enter the Astral Source Universe. Helpless, Lu Yin raised his hand and activated the Energy Transfer Diagram. At the same time, his golden battle force imprinted itself onto his body once more.
Lu Yin's body flew out, and he was more prepared this time. Even so, his injuries were still quite severe, as the Hell Master's attack had been slightly heavier.
Not everyone had the opportunity to constantly face the pressure of a Warring States' Warring States. Lu Yin was confident that if he experienced one for a long time, he would eventually be able to break through.
Bang! His body flew towards the south of Kun's Swamp.
Bang! His body flew towards the north of Kun's Swamp.
Within Kun's Swamp, the wardens all looked up. Their daily entertainment had turned into watching someone fly through the air. Lord Pig had also found this entertainment, and he hoped that the Hell Master would accidentally kill Lu Yin. That way, he would not be controlled.
Green Tea watched as well, but her thoughts were the exact opposite of Lord Pig's. She did not wish for Lu Yin to be killed, as otherwise, no one would be able to save her father. The Kun's Swamp Rebellion had only succeeded once in many years. Without Lu Yin, she would never have had a chance in her entire life.
The wardens watched and thought back to the Sovereign Tournament. Not much time had passed since then, but this Lu Yin was still able to survive the Hell Master's attacks. His cultivation talent was truly terrifying.
Time and time again, Lu Yin tried his best to avoid the Hell Master's attacks, but he was still unable to do so. The difference between them was simply too great. The Hell Master's power level was about the same as the Flying Willow Leaves and Cang Zhou's, but the Warring States' Warring States were completely different. Cang Zhou was definitely not a match for the Hell Master, and he could not withstand such a tyrannical attack. The Flying Willow Leaves could not trap the Hell Master, just like how they had not been able to trap Nightking Di Jiang.
One had terrifying spiritual force, while the other had terrifying battle force.
