Lu Yin was on high alert as he retreated continuously. The Corpse King's right arm continued to expand as a terrifying power gathered within it.
Unfortunately, this place was occupied by the Eternals, so he couldn't see the Corpse King's true strength through the rune lines. Otherwise, he would have been able to kill this Corpse King with the help of the Aeon Evolution True Scripture.
As he watched the Corpse King's arm grow thicker and thicker, Lu Yin's thoughts raced, and he suddenly descended.
In an instant, the Corpse King punched out, its power covering the sky and causing the entire world to collapse. The punch landed on Lu Yin's body without any surprise, causing the void to distort as the terrifying power shattered the earth and almost pierced through the Grayweed Continent.
Not long after, the Corpse King landed, and a bottomless pit appeared on the ground. It covered a wide area, and one could not see the end of it with the naked eye. There were bloodstains and crushed bodies in the pit.
The Corpse King stared at him for a while, then raised his head, took a step forward, and left.
It was only after the Corpse King had left that Lu Yin reappeared. He had indeed been hit, but because of his miniature armor, he was unharmed. The body that had been shattered was naturally the corpse from before.
Given the corpse's strength, it was impossible for it to have survived the Corpse King's attack. Lu Yin had grabbed the corpse the moment he'd been struck by the Corpse King, and he'd used the Yu Secret Art to throw it away. That was how he'd managed to trick the Corpse King into thinking that it had killed him.
He heaved a sigh of relief and rubbed his right hand, which was still numb. The Eternals were very different from humans, and their fighting styles were completely different as well.
Humans had many different ways of fighting, such as battle techniques, cultivation methods, secret techniques, innate talents, treasures, lockbreaking methods, and even beast taming, Gu worms, and so on. The Corpse King's fighting style was much more direct. It was a combination of innate talents and one's own battle prowess. At most, there was the Corpse King Transformation, which increased one's own battle prowess.
Lu Yin's fighting style was similar to the Corpse King's, especially when facing an Emissary. He could only rely on his physical strength.
"I'm sorry, but I couldn't even leave your corpse intact after you died." Lu Yin felt helpless. He looked at the blood on the ground and suddenly thought of something. Not good! He quickly rushed towards the gate.
He quickly arrived at the Burial Gate, but it had already been destroyed. The Corpse King's attack had covered too much ground, and the Burial Gate had been affected as well. It was as if a layer of the ground had been shaved off.
Lu Yin felt helpless and bitter. The gate to the Burial Garden had been destroyed, so how was he supposed to return?
The Grayweed Continent was vast, and the Starfall Sea was even larger. There should be more Burial Garden Gates. He could only hope that he could find one that wasn't guarded by the Eternals. Otherwise, he might not be able to return.
According to his memories, Lu Yin walked towards the Heavenly Fire Dojo.
In any case, he didn't know where the Burial Garden's Gate was, and walking around aimlessly wasn't a solution. Therefore, he decided to go to the Heavenly Fire Dojo to cultivate.
He remembered that the Heavenly Fire Dojo existed in the Heavenly Fire Dojo. It nurtured the Heavenly Fire Stone and formed the entire Heavenly Fire Dojo. It made the Heavenly Fire Dojo an existence second only to the Great Mountain Dojo among the seventy-two dojos in the Boundless Continent.
Lu Yin hoped to find a flame in the Heavenly Fire Dao Field that could speed up his cultivation, and the power of that flame had to be able to threaten him. Although it wasn't easy to find, he could only try.
This time, he walked even more carefully.
Because he was too excited to comprehend the Emptiness Palm, he was careless and was discovered. He did not want to make the same mistake twice.
A few days later, Lu Yin searched for the Burial Garden's Gate while following his memories. Eventually, he arrived at the Skyfire Dojo.
Looking at the Heavenly Fire Dojo in front of him, which had been abandoned like the Chongshan Dojo, Lu Yin felt rather emotional. Back then, he had almost been left behind by Madam Hong.
Also
It was here that he had fought with Lan Si for the first time and obtained the Heavenfire Stone, which had helped him reach his current level.
The Heavenly Fire Dojo was even more abandoned than the Chongshan Dojo, but fortunately, the earth's core flames had not disappeared.
Lu Yin directly jumped into the flames and headed down, searching for a high-temperature heavenfire that could threaten him.
The further down he went, the higher the temperature of the heavenfire became, but it still did not pose a threat to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin did not know how far down he had gone, but he suddenly saw something strange out of the corner of his eye. Was that a rock?
With his experience with the Qi Sect, Lu Yin would not underestimate any rock, especially a rock. This was a heavenfire that could threaten an Enlighter with a power level of 400,000, so there was a rock here?
That was strange. What kind of rock could withstand such high temperatures?
These heavenfire were enough to turn a planet into dust.
Lu Yin walked over to the rock and reached out to touch it. The void distorted, and his body disappeared.
Lu Yin stared blankly at the scene in front of him, and then he smiled in an abnormally happy manner. This was a hidden space in the void, and just like the Blaze Realm, the Daynight clan, and other powers, the Heavenly Fire Dojo had also placed their resources here. Looking at the neatly stacked star essence and various other resources, Lu Yin licked his lips and put them all away. They were all his.
Strange, when the Heavenly Fire Dojo had been destroyed, hadn't the Sixth Mainland ransacked it?
That should have been the case, so what was this place?
It couldn't be Tian Yanzi's personal collection, could it?
This void was hidden under the high temperature of the heavenfire, and the only person in the entire Heavenly Fire Dojo who could enter was Tian Yanzi. When Madam Hong had chased after Lu Yin and the others to the Starfall Sea, she might have forgotten about it, or she might have disdained to search for it. Thus, this collection had been forgotten.
There were 200 million star essence here, which was not a lot, but it was not bad. Lu Yin only had a little more than 200 million star essence on him right now.
The Blaze Realm's powers had occupied the eight Great Flowzones and traded with the Astral River Ark, which was why they had been able to accumulate so much wealth. After being attacked by the Sixth Mainland, they had lost more than half of what they had, but that was all they had. The Heavenly Fire Dojo did not have a source of funds, and most of what they had was due to Tian Yanzi's efforts.
As expected of an Envoy-level powerhouse.
What a pity, if only he had more. Lu Yin was currently an Enlighter who had gone through 39 cycles, and breaking through 40 cycles would require 200 million star essence. Breaking through 41 cycles would require more than 200 million star essence, which meant that he would be out of money again.
If he had enough money, and the temperature of the heavenfire in the depths of the Heavenly Fire Dojo was high enough, he would be able to reach the level of an Emissary.
The more he thought about it, the more regretful he felt.
Lu Yin took everything and returned to the Heavenfire Dojo.
He descended to the very bottom of the dojo, where the high temperature of the heavenfire Dojo was making him feel rather uncomfortable. However, he still did not achieve the desired results. Whatever, it was still barely enough.
Lu Yin took out a Heavenfire Stone and began to frantically absorb the heavenfire. The stone had absorbed enough heat, and he raised his hand, causing his die to appear. He tapped it, as he needed four pips.
When the die slowly stopped at three pips, Lu Yin pursed his lips. It would not appear when he needed it, but it would appear when he did not need it. He did not have any money.
On his second try, the die slowly stopped at five pips. Lu Yin sighed and tried again.
On his third try, it was one pip.
The item had just fallen to the ground when it was vaporized by the high temperature. In all honesty, Lu Yin did not even see what it was.
He tried again.
This time, he was more successful, and he rolled four pips. The scene in front of him changed, and he appeared in the Time Stop Space.
He had collected all his star essence.
Lu Yin took it out and released the high temperature heavenfire. 9,300 stars revolved around him and began to absorb the star energy.
…
No matter how much time passed in the Time Stop Space, only one second passed in the outside world.
The scene in front of him changed, and Lu Yin returned to the real world. His realm had risen to forty-one cycles, and he had used all his remaining star essence to extend his time. This allowed his Sirius Art to reach 10,000 stars as he recited the Primogenitor's Scripture.
10,000 stars and 9,300 stars did not make much of a difference to Lu Yin. If he wanted to cultivate the Sirius Art to the fifth level of completion, he would need to circulate 99,000 stars. Right now, he only had 10,000 stars, which was nine times more than that.
If he had enough star essence, he would have gone into seclusion for a few years, but he did not have that right now.
He was still short of money, and he would always be short of money.
Lu Yin thought of the Mavis Family again. Back in Gu King City, Yuehua Mavis had solemnly invited him to visit the Mavis Family as a guest. Unfortunately, some things had happened, and the invitation had not been put on the agenda. When he returned, he would have to greet the Mavis Family as soon as possible. He could offend anyone, but not the Mavis Family.
As long as he could squeeze out a little bit of money from them, it would be enough for him to use.
At the same time, a group of people arrived outside the Skyfire Dojo. There were both men and women, and aside from an old woman, the rest were all youths. The one walking in the middle was a beautiful woman in blue clothes. She had a heroic look on her face, and she held a longsword as she slowly walked towards the Skyfire Dojo.
"This is the Skyfire Dojo?
Senior, we haven't seen it before, "someone exclaimed. It was a very cute girl.
The man next to her was disdainful. "The Skyfire Dojo was once prosperous, but it's now in decline. Our Water God Dojo is the only one that can continue."
"That's right. The Skyfire Dojo will eventually turn to dust, just like the Taixuan Dojo. They don't know how to restrain themselves," someone else agreed.
The old woman frowned. "Be careful with your words. The Skyfire Dojo was once glorious, and it's not up to you juniors to spout nonsense."
The man said, "Junior is right. Regardless of whether it's the Skyfire Dojo or the Great Mountain Dojo, they don't understand the principle of decline after reaching the peak. Our Water God Dojo cultivates the Concept of Water, so we understand this principle. No matter how far into the future, our Water God Dojo will definitely stand tall in the universe and never fall."
The old woman sneered. "Since you know the principle of decline after reaching the peak, why aren't you humble?
Do you think commenting on an abandoned dojo will raise your status? "
The man was just about to retort.
The beautiful woman in the middle spoke up. "Don't you know how our Water God Dojo has been preserved?
Don't you know how Tianyan Zi died? Don't you know how Dao Master Lan, Dao Master Lei, and the others died?
It's not up to you to slander them. "
The man seemed to be even more afraid of this woman, and he didn't dare to say anything else.
"Xiao 'er, don't say such things in the future," the old woman reminded her.
The group of youths fell silent and followed the woman into the Skyfire Dojo.
Si Xiao 'er looked at the ruined Skyfire Dojo with a complicated expression.
In the past, the Boundless Continent had seventy-two dojos, and they had all been glorious. The Great Mountain Dojo had been the strongest, followed closely by the Skyfire Dojo, Cangkui Dojo, and so on. Her Water God Dojo had been second only to the Skyfire Dojo, and they had always competed for the second position.
It was a pity that her master's strength had been unable to break through to become an Emissary and could not stand shoulder to shoulder with Tianyan Zi. Otherwise, the Water God Dojo might not have been inferior to the Skyfire Dojo.
One was fire, the other was water. Water and fire were incompatible.
