The Sixth Mainland's cultivators arrived in Flaxen Weave without any obstructions.
On a planet in Flaxen Weave, Lu Yin watched as countless Sixth Mainland's cultivators boarded various spacecraft and headed towards Ironblood Weave. There was a hint of fear in his eyes.
The Sixth Mainland's potential for war was too great. If not for the Eternals destroying the Sixth Mainland, Secret Progenitor's betrayal, and the cleansing of Secret Progenitor Territory, the Sixth Mainland would not have ended up in such a state.
Back then, half of the Sixth Mainland had been able to attack the entire Fifth Mainland, which showed just how powerful they were.
In the end, the Sixth Mainland's decline was largely due to Progenitor Hui. Progenitor Hui had schemed against the Sixth Mainland over the years, causing it to end up in its current state.
The Sword Valley Master flew through space and saw Lu Yin. He stopped and landed.
"I've helped the Sixth Mainland. How do you plan on thanking me, Senior?" Lu Yin smiled.
The Sword Valley Master did not like Lu Yin, but when he thought about how Lu Yin might be accepted as a disciple by the Blood Progenitor, and how Lan Xian had specifically told him not to take over the eastern weaves, it was obvious that she wanted to gift the eastern weaves to Lu Yin.
Even a Half-Ancestor had expressed goodwill, so the Sword Valley Master did not dare to show any displeasure. He forced a smile. "Thank you, Alliance Master Lu. If not for the Great Eastern Alliance cutting off the Astral Beast Domain's escape route, we would not have been able to break through so easily."
Lu Yin laughed. "Senior is too polite. I just hope that the Sixth Mainland can defend Ironblood Weave well and that this will not happen a second time. After all, past Ironblood Weave is my Great Eastern Alliance's territory."
The Sword Valley Master's face twitched. He wanted to say that the entire Outerverse belonged to the Sixth Mainland, but after some thought, he decided against it. He remembered that even a Half-Ancestor had to give Lu Yin face, so he could only force a smile. "No, they won't. This time, we'll even occupy the Primal Zone."
Lu Yin praised, "That's bold. Then, I won't disturb Senior any further."
The Sword Valley Master hurriedly left.
No one from the Sixth Mainland had ever thought that someone would refuse the temptation of being accepted as a disciple by a Progenitor, even if that person was a genius from the Fifth Mainland.
Lu Yin had spoken to the Sword Valley Master just now because he wanted to confirm the Sixth Mainland's attitude. He had always felt that the Sword Valley Master and the others were retreating too quickly. Did they really not care about the eastern weaves?
Or were they certain that he would be accepted as a disciple by the Progenitor?
Was there something that even he didn't know about?
Regardless of what Lu Yin was thinking, the tide of the battle had turned. Xu Qing had led the Celestial Beast Empire's expeditionary army to flee to the Astral Wilderness. From the Tyrannical Weave to the Primal Zone, there weren't many astral beasts along the way that could stop the Sixth Mainland. Even if there were, they were easily destroyed.
In a month's time, the Sixth Mainland had been unstoppable, and they had already reached Ironblood Weave. Soon, they would enter the Primal Zone.
…
In the Outerverse, outside of a very ordinary planet, a ball of red appeared. It looked like magma, and it distorted the void as it gradually burned everything around it.
The lava transformed into a human form. It was an old man with a gloomy expression.
The man looked at the planet for a long time. Finally, he turned into magma again and smashed into the surface of the planet like a meteor.
On a beautiful scenic spot on the planet, Kui Luo, Little Qing, Bu Kong, and Second Master Meng were sightseeing like a family.
When the lava smashed down like a meteor.
Kui Luo glanced at him and smiled. "Take a picture, take a picture. I'm not free, grandson. Hurry up and take a picture of your grandpa."
Bu Kong's face twitched as he felt extremely sullen.
…
There were not many giant beasts in Ironblood Weave, but things were different in the Primal Zone.
。
The Primal Zone was directly connected to the Astral Beast Domain.
When the Sixth Mainland's countless cultivators attacked, a great battle broke out in the Primal Zone.
The Sword Valley Master and the others had originally thought that without Xu Qing and the other experts, the Primal Zone would be easily conquered, and they might even invade the Astral Beast Domain.
However, they had not expected to encounter such a predicament.
The humans had their own rules, and the Astral Beast Domain had its own rules as well.
In the Fifth Mainland, there was a place called Kun's Swamp that imprisoned countless prisoners. These prisoners were very powerful, and any one of them could cause chaos in an entire region. There were even powerhouses like Emperor Liu, who had a power level of over a million.
In the Astral Beast Domain, there was also a place called the Ten Thousand Beasts Cage. As the name implied, it imprisoned ten thousand beasts.
The astral beasts that could be imprisoned in the Ten Thousand Beasts Cage were like the people imprisoned in Kun's Swamp.
At this moment, the Ten Thousand Beasts Cage stood between the Primal Zone and Ironblood Weave.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Cage was different from Kun's Swamp in that it could be moved. It was shaped like a birdcage, but it was abnormally large and could even be spread out to form a fence.
The border between the Primal Zone and Ironblood Weave was not very large, and when the Ten Thousand Beasts Cage was spread out, it could cover more than half of the area, which was just enough to stop the Sixth Mainland from invading the Primal Zone.
The astral beasts imprisoned in the Ten Thousand Beasts Cage viewed the Celestial Beast Empire as their enemy, and they would rather let the Sixth Mainland pass through. However, the Celestial Beast Empire had stimulated their bestial nature, and everything they saw was their enemy. Now, they only knew how to kill.
Among them, there was no lack of astral beasts with power levels of over a million. Because their bestial nature had been stimulated, they did not fear death or even pain. They were like a mountain blocking the Sixth Mainland.
If that were the case, then Lu Yin and the Three-Inch Grandmaster would be able to deal with the Celestial Imprints, but the Ten Thousand Beasts Cage was the most troublesome.
The human Kun's Swamp was corroded by death energy, while the Ten Thousand Beasts Cage was made of a strange metal that was unique to the Astral Beast Domain. It could devour flesh and change its hardness, and it was a very mysterious metal that had a life of its own. The more flesh it devoured, the harder it would become.
This was the most troublesome aspect, as even the Celestial Imprints would find it difficult to destroy the Ten Thousand Beasts Cage.
Lu Yin looked at the images taken from the border between Ironblood Weave and Primal Zone and raised his brows. "What's with this Ten Thousand Beasts Cage?
Even the Celestial Imprints are troublesome to deal with. "
Ya Mavis' expression turned solemn. "According to the ancient records, the Fourth Mainland once experienced a calamity that killed countless astral beasts, and even half-ancestor astral beasts were killed. In the end, a Progenitor had to take action to resolve the situation. The source of that calamity was a strange metal, and if I'm not mistaken, the Ten Thousand Beasts Cage is made out of that metal."
Lu Yin was shocked. "Even half-ancestor astral beasts were killed?"
"More accurately, they were devoured." Ya Mavis was apprehensive. "Do you know why the humans established the Daosource Sect?
One theory is that in ancient times, there were endless disasters, and the humans had no choice but to band together to deal with them. Just like how ordinary people face storms and tsunamis, cultivators face disasters that are similarly unsolvable. "
Lu Yin understood and looked at the images. "Your Mavis family has records of that metal. Don't the Celestial Beast Empire have any?
If they did, why would they dare to use it? "
Ya Mavis replied, "The Ten Thousand Beasts Cage is very small, and according to the records, the metal that caused the calamity is large enough to cover half of the Outerverse. It might have been discovered too late back then.
"The Celestial Imprints can deal with something of that size, but the astral beasts within the Ten Thousand Beasts Cage are troublesome. Killing them will make the metal even larger and harder. If we don't kill them, we won't be able to enter the Primal Zone.
The Outerverse has paid a huge price for this invasion. "
"But it shouldn't be able to stop them for long."
Beep beep beep!
Lu Yin's gadget beeped, and he glanced at it. It was actually Vice City Lord Little Bear from Yibo City?
They had not contacted each other in a long time, and Yibo City had only recently sent someone to deliver some ancient items to Lu Yin so that he could help break them down.
"Alliance Master Lu, a rare metal has appeared in the Primal Zone. Yibo City hopes that you can help us obtain it," Vice City Lord Little Bear said anxiously.
Lu Yin was surprised. "The Ten Thousand Beasts Cage?"
"That's right. This metal is very rare, and we hope that Alliance Master Lu can find a way to bring it to Yibo City. Feel free to state any conditions you have," Vice City Lord Little Bear said seriously.
Lu Yin glanced at Ya Mavis. Without her explanation, he would not have known where the Ten Thousand Beasts Cage had come from. "Vice City Lord Little Bear, may I know why you care so much about this metal?"
Vice City Lord Little Bear replied, "This metal comes from ancient times and has the ability to devour flesh and blood to increase its hardness. It can also increase the strength of my modified bodies. I thought that it had disappeared a long time ago, but who would have thought that the Celestial Beast Empire's Ten Thousand Beasts Cage was made from this metal? Alliance Master Lu, I'll have to trouble you."
"I can only do my best. If you can see how precious this metal is, then the Sixth Mainland should be able to as well. They might not be able to obtain it," Lu Yin said.
Vice City Lord Little Bear said gratefully, "Please do your best to help us. Feel free to state any conditions that Yibo City can fulfill."
Lu Yin put down his gadget. He was not surprised that the Technocracy knew about the battlefield, but they had contacted him too decisively. It seemed that they valued the Ten Thousand Beasts Cage greatly.
"Do many people know where this metal came from?" Lu Yin asked.
Ya Mavis replied, "Not many. After all, it's been too long, and the Fifth Mainland went through a war that even changed the sky. The Hall of Honor might not know."
The Hall of Honor might not know, but Yibo City might also know. If they did not know, why would they care so much?
Lu Yin looked towards the north, intrigued by the Ten Thousand Beasts Cage.
The fact that it could bring disaster to the ancient Fourth Mainland and force a Progenitor to take action proved that this metal's upper limit was very high. If it could be improved further, Lu Yin did not know how powerful it could be.
At the border between Ironblood Weave and the Primal Zone, the Three Inch Master and the other Imprints slaughtered all of the beasts within the Ten Thousand Beasts Cage. Fresh blood mixed with flesh and blood were devoured by the cage, causing it to expand at a visible rate. At first, it had covered more than half of the border, but now, it covered the entire border and even extended towards the Primal Zone and Ironblood Weave.
The flesh and blood seemed to stimulate the metal, and regardless of whether it was beasts or humans, they were immediately devoured upon contact.
Its hardness also gave the Imprints a headache. Fortunately, it was not unbreakable.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Cage held off the Sixth Mainland for five days. Five days later, the Ten Thousand Beasts Cage shattered, and the Sixth Mainland charged into the Primal Zone to launch a counterattack against the Astral Beast Domain.
Countless beasts from the Astral Beast Domain entered the Primal Zone as reinforcements.
However, these reinforcements could not stop the Sixth Mainland. Gradually, the Sixth Mainland reached the border between the Primal Zone and the Astral Beast Domain. Once they crossed the border, they would officially enter the Astral Beast Domain.
Elsewhere, Lu Yin had arrived at Ironblood Weave under the Second Nightking's protection. He wanted to collect the Ten Thousand Beasts Cage.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Cage was extremely large, and it covered the entire border between the Primal Zone and Ironblood Weave. After it had been destroyed, its fragments were scattered everywhere. Lu Yin was not the only one collecting them; many others were doing the same.
