In the Sirius Sect, the call ended, and Yuan Qiong suddenly stood up. Not good, something had happened! He quickly went to find Elder Gong.
…
After an unknown amount of time, a sharp pain woke him up on a barren planet. He opened his eyes and saw a hurricane that covered the sky. There was also an endless yellow tornado slowly approaching him from the distance.
What's going on?
Why am I here?
Lu Yin's mind raced as he tried to recall what had happened.
Red stained the ground, and Lu Yin looked down and saw blood flowing from his right leg. He had been injured, and that was where the pain had come from.
"Unbelievable," a cold and hoarse voice spoke up from behind him.
Lu Yin remained sprawled on the ground, staring at his bleeding right leg without moving. Someone was here. He had contacted the Sirius Sect while in outer space, but he had just spoken to Yuan Qiong when he had fainted. An absolute powerhouse had attacked him.
With his strength, only someone with a power level of at least 800,000 or even 900,000 would be able to silently knock him out. Although he could not defeat someone with a power level of 700,000, he could still resist. If he had faced someone like Cang Zhou, then he would have been able to fight back. However, the person behind him had not even given him the chance to retaliate, and he did not even know how he had been knocked out.
Who was this person?
The voice was unfamiliar.
"You're an Enlighter, but your body is stronger than an ordinary Emissary with a power level of 600,000. That's unbelievable. No wonder you were able to stir up the Abandoned Lands and establish the Great Eastern Alliance," the hoarse voice continued.
Lu Yin's eyes trembled. The Abandoned Lands was what the Astral Tree Society called the Fifth Mainland.
"Still playing dead?" Lu Yin felt an intense pain in his left leg as blood flowed down the ground. In the distance, a tornado that connected the sky and the earth flew through the air. Above his head, the sky seemed to be collapsing as it pressed down.
Lu Yin moved his fingers and slowly sat up. He turned around and saw a blurry figure. He could not tell who it was, whether it was a man or a woman, or whether it was fat or thin. He could not tell anything apart from a blurry figure that seemed to be covered by some sort of power.
Lu Yin's pupils transformed into runes as he stared at the figure. What he saw was rune lines at the level of an ordinary Emissary, which probably had a power level of less than 600,000.
Impossible, an Emissary with such a power level could not suppress him like this.
"Who are you?" Lu Yin asked cautiously.
The figure faced Lu Yin. "It's time to end this, Lu Xiaoxuan."
Lu Yin's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth. "From the Starry Sky of Trees? Who is it?
Even if you want me to die, at least let me know who killed you. "
"There's no need for a dead person to know so much." The blurry figure then brandished his right arm like a blade, instantly slicing through the void, the earth, and even the existence that might have been a planet. The stifling pressure exposed Lu Yin to the blade, and even his skin started to crack.
An unparalleled sharpness descended, a power that Lu Yin had never experienced before.
Subconsciously, the Star Luo Chessboard appeared under his feet and he moved.
Against an Emissary, Lu Yin's only means of resistance were his physical strength, spiritual force, domain, and battle force. He couldn't use anything related to star energy, but strangely enough, the "Plan" Secret Art had succeeded. Although the sharp blade was unparalleled, it hadn't disrupted his star energy.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed as he distanced himself from the blurry figure, and he stepped into the Astral Source Universe in an attempt to escape.
A blurry figure appeared in front of him, blocking his path with a speed that far exceeded Lu Yin's. The figure raised a hand and brandished a sharp blade. The rune lines contained within the blade exceeded 700,000 power levels, even though the figure clearly only had a power level of around 600,000. Sure enough, he had been hiding his true strength.
Lu Yin used the "Plan" Secret Art to dodge again and left the Astral Source Universe. He stared straight ahead, and the moment the blurry figure stepped out of the Astral Source Universe, he used the Emptiness Palm.
The Emptiness Palm didn't just contain the physical strength of the Emptiness Palm, but also one's aura, spiritual force, and everything else that one could use. A single Emptiness Palm was equivalent to a peak attack from Lu Yin that wasn't a star energy battle technique.
If he had used the Emptiness Palm against Jiu Han back then, he wouldn't have had such a hard time. Jiu Han's spiritual force endurance was very weak, and a single Emptiness Palm would have been enough to force her to use her trump card.
Lu Yin's Emptiness Palm failed, and his palm technique did indeed land on the blurry figure, but it didn't cause any damage. The blurry figure merely gasped in astonishment. "Not a bad palm technique. It contains many types of power, and anyone who's weaker than you in any aspect can be injured by this palm. Not bad." He then raised an arm and brandished a sharp blade.
It seemed like this was the only attack that this person knew.
Lu Yin didn't plan on dodging, and his eyes turned into runes that weakened the attack. At the same time, he raised a hand and used the Energy Diversion Diagram.
He took the attack head-on, and even though the True Scripture of Eon Evolution had weakened many of the runes, the blade still managed to slice through the Energy Diversion Diagram and continue towards Lu Yin.
Lu Yin continuously retreated and dodged the attack, but the blade swept past him and tore through the void, tearing apart everything in sight.
What was this person trying to do?
His attack was clearly powerful, but it was easy to dodge. He could easily control Lu Yin, but he wanted Lu Yin to resist. He clearly had the ability to seal Lu Yin's star energy, but he didn't use it. What was this person thinking?
Since his star energy wasn't sealed, Lu Yin used all of his techniques. He used his star energy to form a sword and unleashed the Fourteenth Sword.
"Eh? You've surpassed the Thirteenth Sword?
Unfortunately, the difference is too great. You can't hurt me, "the blurry figure said as he continued to slash down with his arm. His blade was easy to dodge, but if Lu Yin didn't dodge it and instead tried to take it head-on, he would be doomed.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. The Daynight's Salute had been a futile attempt to suppress this person with spiritual force, but it had been useless.
This person allowed Lu Yin to use all of his techniques as he pleased. This feeling was similar to when Mister Mu had taken him in as a disciple, but the only difference was that this person would actually kill him. Lu Yin could sense that the power of this person's blade hadn't changed at all. If he couldn't block or avoid it, he would be killed. This person was toying with him.
Lu Yin raised a hand and summoned a General Appointment Platform. "In my name, I summon a general."
The blurry figure's arm paused. "Lu family's General Appointment Platform. Let's see who you've chosen."
Against the powerhouse in front of him, star energy was useless. Only death energy could be used. Cang Zhou, Dragon Lord, and finally, Jiu Han.
The three Envoys charged towards the blurry figure, and Lu Yin stared at him closely. He wanted to see just how strong this person was.
"It's useless." The blurry figure then waved his hand just like he had against Lu Yin. Cang Zhou, Dragon Lord, and Jiu Han were all sliced in half at the waist. Death energy surged from Lu Yin's chest, and he retreated a few steps. He felt weak and looked at the person in shock.
"You're able to summon Envoys as an Enlighter, and there are even powerhouses whose power levels exceed 700,000. That's not bad, but it's a pity that you still have to die, Lu Xiaoxuan. When you see anyone from the Lu family, send my regards." The blurry figure then raised his hand and slashed down viciously.
Lu Yin's gaze turned vicious, and he stepped onto the Star Chessboard. He didn't dodge, and instead, he appeared behind the blurry figure. He unleashed a Vacant Palm, but it was useless against the blurry figure. The blurry figure retaliated by raising his arm and slashing down. Lu Yin's unbearable blade slashed past, but Lu Yin still didn't retreat. He used a teleportation array to appear on the other side of the blurry figure, took out the Splitting Heavens Array, and used Split the Heavens.
Split the Heavens swept past the blurry figure, but it also didn't cause any damage. There was only one form of Split the Heavens within the Splitting Heavens Array.
"Is that all you've got?" The blurry figure raised his arm. "Then die."
Lu Yin suddenly sneered. "Sorry, but I'm not dead yet. Worry about yourself first."
The blurry figure didn't understand, and just as his arm was about to slash down, he suddenly paused. He stared at his arm and saw a drop of transparent liquid slowly melting into his skin. "Poison?"
"This isn't any ordinary poison. Go save yourself," Lu Yin said as the Star Chessboard appeared beneath his feet. He moved, intending to escape.
The second time he had used a teleportation array to appear behind the blurry figure, he had placed a drop of the Tears of Good Samaritan in the void. When the blurry figure turned around to attack Lu Yin, he had coincidentally raised his arm to touch the Tears of Good Samaritan, which was within Lu Yin's expectations.
This person was too confident, and every time he attacked, the angle of his arm would be the same, which made it clear that he didn't care about Lu Yin at all. The Tears of Good Samaritan were not colorless and odorless, and anyone who paid close attention would be able to detect it. However, this person didn't seem to care, as he believed that all of his methods had been useless and that he had been poisoned.
The Tears of Good Samaritan had been described by Yi Ge as the most potent poison in the Gu Flowzone, and it had once killed a powerhouse with a power level of 700,000. Lu Yin had also used his die's three Enhance, so it should be able to kill a powerhouse with a power level of 900,000. Most importantly, he knew that the Tears of Good Samaritan might be similar to the Poison of Life, as they were both developed by the Neohuman Alliance.
Lu Yin's Extreme Reversal had almost been helpless against this poison, and he had only been able to detoxify it with the Primogenitor's Scripture.
Lu Yin had spent almost two billion star essence on this Tears of Good Samaritan. Even if this person had a power level of a million, they might still be poisoned to death.
What Lu Yin needed to do now was to escape as far away as possible.
The blurry figure stared at his arm. "What a vicious poison. It actually caused time to pass. How could this kid have such a poison?"
After speaking, the figure vanished.
Lu Yin turned around and saw that the soaring rune lines had disappeared. He scanned his surroundings, afraid that this person would rush out from the Astral Source Universe.
Fortunately, this person had really left.
The Tears of Good Samaritan were enough to make him unlucky.
Lu Yin looked at his wrist and saw that his gadget had not been damaged. He hurriedly tried to connect to Yuanqiong, but he found that he couldn't. This place was sealed off, and it was clearly a barren planet.
Lu Yin leaped up, intending to leave the planet.
He charged into the hurricane, which was like a collapsing sky. It seemed like it could destroy everything, but it posed no threat to Lu Yin at all. He easily passed through the hurricane, and what he saw was not a starry sky, but a white haze. He saw several incomparably large pillars, and the land he had just been on was the peak of one of these pillars.
