Normally, no one would be able to tell that there was poison on the skeleton as long as it did not explode. However, they did not know that there were people from the Divine Gu Dynasty in the Great Eastern Alliance. Shui Chuanxiao arranged the fleet, and no matter how the fleet's formation changed, there were some ships that remained the same. These ships just so happened to surround the entire fleet, and they were equipped with materials that the Divine Gu Dynasty had specially developed to detect poisons.
When the skeleton approached the rear of the fleet, the Jackal King walked out of the void and raised a hand, causing ripples to appear in the void.
The skeleton suddenly exploded the moment it approached the rear of the fleet, and it continued to explode. The power of the explosion was not great.
In the distance, several Yin Guai stared at the scene; the poison had probably erupted.
However, after a while, nothing happened besides the skeleton exploding.
How could this be?
To the right of the fleet, several Void Thunderbeasts spat out thunderbolts towards the fleet. At the same time, Flying Flames spat out tri-colored flames.
Just as the thunderbolts and tri-colored flames descended upon the fleet, the void froze and extended outwards. The Ice Empress walked out and froze the thunderbolts and flames, as well as the Void Thunderbeasts and Flying Flames.
Dozens of Yin Guai charged over from the left side of the fleet. They had thought that they would be able to successfully attack the fleet, but they had underestimated Shui Chuanxiao's understanding of the Astral Beast Domain. The moment the Yin Guai appeared, they were immediately discovered. The Mountain God's enormous body blocked the fleet as it viciously rammed into the Yin Guai.
Xu Qing tried to attack the fleet from all directions. Not only did he want to disrupt the fleet's formation, but he also wanted to force out the powerhouses of the Great Eastern Alliance.
Seeing the Ice Empress and the Mountain God attack, Xu Qing waved his hand. "It's your turn."
Countless beasts roared, and the sound waves shook the heavens.
Lu Yin looked ahead and saw several incomparably large creatures charging towards the fleet. "Fire!"
The warships fired a volley, but it was useless. The giant creatures hugged their legs and formed a sphere that rammed into the fleet. Their defenses were astonishing.
Liu Qianjue walked out and sliced through the void with his sword, causing the void to distort. All of Liu Qianjue's attacks were blocked, and the giant creatures had the power to resist.
Liu Qianjue was astonished and attacked again, but all of his attacks were devoured.
In the distance, Xu Qing sneered. How could he be killed so easily?
"It's a Na Yuan beast," Shui Chuanxiao said. "It's ranked fourth on the Heavenly Beast List and can divert attacks with a power level of less than 200,000. It can also divert Liu Qianjue's battle techniques.
Lu Yin quickly relayed Shui Chuanxiao's message to Liu Qianjue.
Liu Qianjue gripped the hilt of his sword tightly. No wonder it looked so familiar. His attack had not been swallowed, but rather, it had been redirected.
In front of them, those incomparably huge beast-shaped spheres were about to crash into them. Once they were hit, the entire fleet would be scattered.
The Na Yuan beast had been shifting its attacks in front of the beast-shaped balls. Due to its small size, it could not be found yet.
"Chen Huang!" Lu Yin barked.
In the fleet, the giants straightened their backs and stepped forward, blocking the front of the fleet. They faced the beast-shaped spheres and battle aura imprints and roared.
Xu Qing was astonished. "It really is a giant."
The beast-shaped sphere was about to hit the fleet. Chen Huang was in front of it and grabbed it with one hand. His shoulder felt a sharp pain. It was the Na Yuan beast's attack. At that moment, Liu Qianjue slashed out with his sword. Facing Chen Huang and Liu Qianjue at the same time, even the Na Yuan beast could not do anything. It could only divert Liu Qianjue's attack.
Chen Huang blocked the impact of the beast-shaped spheres, but his body was knocked back. Although the beast-shaped spheres were not at the level of an Emissary, their defenses were frighteningly strong. The Celestial Beast Empire had specially nurtured them for this purpose.
They charged into the human formation.
This was the first time that Xu Qing had taken action, and he had thought that he would be able to accomplish something. However, he had not expected that the Great Eastern Alliance would have an army of giants. If one giant could not handle the beast-shaped spheres, two more would come.
Chen Huang blocked one of the beast-shaped spheres by himself, and he roared as he lifted it up and smashed it back the way it had come.
Chen Ling, Chen Jian, Chen Ji, and the other giants were unable to smash it back, and the beast-shaped spheres were pushed aside.
Xu Qing's expression turned ugly. "Four Emissaries have appeared. The Great Eastern Alliance is ruthless."
He then waved his hand. "All four of you. They're hiding one or two Emissaries at most, so there's nothing to be afraid of. Keep an eye on Lu Yin. It's said that this kid can challenge an Emissary by himself."
"Hehe, leave him to me." A shadow distorted and then vanished.
Following Xu Qing's orders, countless astral beasts charged towards the Great Eastern Alliance's fleet. Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. "Fire."
The warships shot out beams of light that filled space and bombarded the surface of the countless astral beasts. The beasts in front of them had power levels that surpassed Explorers and were not something that the beams of light could deal with. Gradually, the beasts and the fleet collided.
Boom!
There was a loud explosion as the ships shook. Countless astral beasts died tragically from the very start of the battle. These astral beasts could fly through space not because they were Explorers, but because their bodies were unique. The Great Eastern Alliance had more than two hundred space-exploring cultivators and three special legions, so they were able to easily kill many of the astral beasts.
The Great Eastern Alliance's fleet did not fare well either, as the endless horde of astral beasts crashed into them and destroyed over a thousand large spacecraft. Fortunately, Lu Yin had already made all of the cultivators below the space-exploring realm wear universal armor, so they could survive and fight even if they left their spacecraft.
A bird 's-eye view of the entire fleet appeared on the screen, and all that could be seen was red. Spacecraft after spacecraft had been destroyed, and an endless number of astral beast corpses were strewn across space.
Lu Yin clenched his fists. He had participated in two wars against the Astral Beast Domain. The first time had been at Erudite Flowzone's border, but he had been a small fry there. Even though he had made some contributions, he had not been of much use. At that time, even Enlighters rarely appeared, let alone Emissaries.
The second time had been at Ironblood Weave's battlefield, where he had turned the situation around and experienced what cruelty was.
This was the third time, and it was also the first time that he had faced off against the Astral Beast Domain alone. This war would not last for too long, but it was far more tragic than anyone could imagine.
"Don't we need to act?" Emperor Liu could not help but ask.
Lu Yin answered, "No rush."
The Great Eastern Alliance's fleet faced the onslaught of countless astral beasts. Flying Blaze, Void Thunderbeast, and Celestial Ice Phoenix all sent out Emissaries. Ling Qiu, Abel Phoenix, and the elders all stepped out.
Every time the Astral Beast Domain sent out an Emissary, the Great Eastern Alliance would send out an Emissary as well. Xu Qing was dumbfounded. "How is this possible?
How did the Great Eastern Alliance get so many Emissaries? "
He had originally thought that the Great Eastern Alliance's fleet would be completely scattered after a single charge, but he had never imagined that the Great Eastern Alliance would send out so many Emissaries.
At this moment, a report came in, and Xu Qing looked over with an ugly expression.
Most of the Emissaries that had appeared were the leaders of the Innerverse's Eight Great Flowzones. It was rumored that Lu Yin's Great Eastern Alliance had unified the Innerverse and Outerverse, and it turned out that it was true. Lu Yin could actually mobilize so many Emissaries.
Xu Qing ferociously stared into the distance. It was no wonder why they had dared to accept this battle. Did they really think that they could stop the Astral Beast Domain with just these Emissaries?
"Kill Lu Yin," Xu Qing ordered.
The eruption of the battle in the meteorite belt attracted the attention of the Hall of Honor and the Sixth Mainland's Daosource Sect, especially the Daosource Sect.
At first, they had not thought that the Great Eastern Alliance would be able to fight against the Astral Beast Domain.
They had expected that the Astral Beast Domain would send out three or four Emissaries at most, and that the Great Eastern Alliance would be able to send out three or four Emissaries at most. The outcome of this battle would depend on the battle between those seven or eight Emissaries.
However, when the battle in the meteorite belt erupted, more than ten Emissaries had appeared, which caught the attention of the Sixth Mainland. This was not only because of the Astral Beast Domain, but also because of the Great Eastern Alliance.
An Enlighter that had only been established a dozen years ago had actually sent out so many Emissaries to participate in this battle. This was something that the Sixth Mainland had never expected.
Many people in the Hall of Honor were similarly astonished, as this battle might not be as simple as they had thought.
From the very beginning, this battle had not been simple.
Everyone had underestimated the Astral Beast Domain's desire to invade the Human Domain, and they had also underestimated Lu Yin's determination to participate in this battle.
When Lu Yin learned that countless people from Northcastle Weave, Eastly Weave, and Greatwoods Weave had been massacred, the meaning of this battle changed. Now, it was not just to drive away foreign enemies, but also to take revenge.
…
At the edge of the fleet in the meteorite belt, a giant beast claw appeared from the top of a warship and tore it apart. Inside the ship, two Limiteers looked at each other and then attacked at the same time. Not long after, the beast that had torn apart the warship fell to the ground. However, the warship had also been scrapped. The people inside floated in space and looked into the distance as strong gales blew them away.
Many people crashed into the meteorites and spat out mouthfuls of blood. Some were even killed.
Battles were happening all around the meteorites, and it was a battle between astral beasts and humans. In this small region, tens of millions of human cultivators and even more astral beasts were gathered.
Void Wanderers were everywhere, and corpses were strewn everywhere.
Lu Yin stared at his screen. The red color was expanding, which meant that the fleet's losses were increasing.
"A guest has arrived." The Second Nightking looked up.
Lu Yin waved a hand, and the Second Nightking and Liu Huang retreated.
The Astral Beast Domain was still unfamiliar to Lu Yin, and no one knew what methods they had up their sleeves. If the two of them attacked here, even if they killed the astral beasts that had come here, Xu Qing might learn of their existence. It wasn't worth it.
War was a battle of resources, but it was also a battle of trump cards. The Second Nightking and Liu Huang were Lu Yin's trump cards, and whoever used their trump card first would be at a disadvantage.
Everyone left the command center.
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the sky. There were rune lines everywhere.
The shadow on the wall twisted, but it didn't make a single sound as it slowly approached Lu Yin.
Lu Yin still didn't sense anything as he focused on the sky.
The shadow suddenly condensed and turned into a sharp spike that shot towards Lu Yin. The spike successfully pierced Lu Yin, but aside from his clothes being torn, not a single drop of blood was left behind.
The shadow changed again and turned into a curtain that covered Lu Yin.
"I've read many records about the Astral Beast Domain. If I'm not wrong, you're called the Shadowbeast," Lu Yin said calmly, allowing the curtain to cover him.
This attack was similar to the Black Coffin secret technique, but the Black Coffin was a secret technique. If not for the Shadowbeast being at the level of an Emissary, this attack wouldn't even have been able to touch Lu Yin.
Only the Shadowbeast knew what had happened behind the curtain. As the shadow faded, Lu Yin was still completely unharmed.
This was the Cognizance Realm of the Cognizance Realm. Lu Yin negated the damage that the Shadowbeast could cause to the ground beneath his feet. As long as he didn't damage the ground, he was one with the ground and wouldn't be harmed. This was the mystical Cognizance Realm of the Cognizance Realm. Only those who had experienced and experienced that civilization would be able to understand it.
