"Greetings, Lord Lu Yin." Skymender Imperial Tutor and the rest appeared in front of the Hellwyrm and bowed when they felt its terrifying pressure.
The Prison Flood Dragon was arrogant. It raised its claws and bent them, looking rather mighty.
Lu Yin grabbed the Yao Emperor and threw him down.
Yao Xuan hurriedly caught it and angrily glared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin happened to be looking at Yao Xuan at the same time, and when he saw Yao Xuan's unfriendly gaze, his eyes turned cold. The next moment, the Caged Wyrm roared, and a Progenitor's power swept through the Celestial Demon Weave. The ring-shaped tributaries boiled, the mountains collapsed, and the cities collapsed.
Countless Starry Sky Behemoths trembled in fear and despair.
The Imperial Tutor was shocked. "Please calm down, Lord Lu Yin."
Yao Xuan's eyes were filled with terror, and he slowly lowered his head under Lu Yin's gaze. The Yao Emperor panted heavily and sorrowfully stood up. He faced Lu Yin and bowed as well. "Please calm down, Lord Lu Yin."
"Please calm down, Lord Lu Yin." Many of the beasts bowed and pleaded.
As far as he could see, none of the beasts dared to raise their heads to meet his gaze. He was above all of the beasts, and this was a very satisfying feeling. The Lu family must have felt this way back then.
"Who set up the Celestial Demon Weave?"
Lu Yin asked.
Imperial Tutor Bu Tian's eyes flashed, and he stepped forward. "Reporting to the Daoist, I did it."
Lu Yin looked at the Imperial Tutor. "I understand now. It's been so many years, but no one from the Human Domain has come to the Skydemon Weave.
Has no one noticed that the layout here is exactly the same as the Starsibyl Sect's? "
Imperial Tutor Skymender said respectfully, "No one cares about the Celestial Demon Weave's arrangements."
Lu Yin looked at the Imperial Tutor. His meaning was clear; even if humans had come to the Celestial Beast Empire before, they wouldn't care about the layout here. Humans looked down on astral beasts from the bottom of their hearts.
"Let's go, Lord Shifter Emperor. Show me your throne," Lu Yin said with interest.
Not long after, Lu Yin appeared in an ancient and domineering palace. Regardless of whether it was humans or beasts, they all relied on external objects to threaten him.
The Shifter Emperor's palace was filled with dominance and majesty, enough to deter anyone who came here.
Lu Yin was currently sitting on the Yao Emperor's throne, and below him were Skymender Imperial Tutor and the others.
"Reporting to the Daoist, the Astral Beast Domain's Celestial Beast Empire has submitted. There are a total of twenty-six alliances in the Astral Beast Domain that have submitted …" The Imperial Tutor respectfully reported everything that had happened in the Astral Beast Domain.
Lu Yin listened quietly. Now that he had taken control of the Astral Beast Domain, he had gained a considerable number of troops and experts under his command.
Within the Astral Beast Domain, there were no less than thirty Envoys, and there were more than three hundred Enlighters. As for cultivators ranging from Explorers to Hunters, there were several thousand of them, and this was the result of several major battles. It was no wonder why the Astral Beast Domain had been able to fight against the Human Domain for so many years.
Aside from the powerful astral beasts, what Lu Yin cared about the most was resources. He had heard that the Astral Beast Domain's resources were barren, and the Sixth Mainland had also invaded the Astral Beast Domain in the past, but they had not gained anything.
The lack of resources referred to the entire Astral Beast Domain, and Lu Yin did not believe that those astral beasts were lacking in resources. Everything else aside, the Celestial Beast Clan should have quite a large collection of star essence.
Lu Yin's eyes lit up at the thought of this.
The Technocracy did not care about star essence and could still give him a trillion star essence, but the Astral Beast Domain would definitely give him more.
Lu Yin listened to the Skymender Imperial Tutor's report from Celestial Yao Imperial Palace. In the outside world, countless beasts were restless as they awaited their fate.
Although the Astral Beast Domain didn't know much about history, with the arrival of cultivators from the Above Heaven era, the Astral Beast Domain's history had changed.
However, they also brought with them a lot of news about the era of the Above Heavens Sect, which included the Fourth Mainland.
That era had been the darkest era for the astral beasts. They had been enslaved by humans and reduced to becoming their mounts. This was not something that they wanted to face, and even though the Fourth Mainland had also been overseen by an extreme Progenitor during that era, this fact could not be changed.
Within a ring-shaped tributary city, the city had been split in two due to the Hellwyrm's might.
Yao Gu calmly stood where the city had been split apart and looked down at the crack in the city. It had changed. In just a few decades, everything had changed.
He could not accept the fact that the Astral Beast Domain had been conquered. He could not accept the fact that it had been conquered by that person.
He was no stranger to Lu Yin. Back when he had been a guest in the Astral Beast Domain, he had obtained a Mavis Bank crystal card, which had been stolen by Lu Yin. Yao Gu had even sent the Void Thunderbeast to the Human Domain to punish Lu Yin, but it had been stopped by the Astral Combat Academy. At that time, Lu Yin had been nothing more than an ant that could be destroyed with a flip of a hand. Yao Gu had never imagined that Lu Yin would bring such a calamity to the Astral Beast Domain today.
"Don't think about it. This is a fact that not even the Yao Emperor can change, so there's no point in us thinking about it." Cursewind sighed as he walked over to Yao Gu's side.
Yao Gu looked at him. "If you were given another chance to return to the battlefield in Ironblood Weave, what would you have done?"
Cursewind's gaze turned frighteningly cold, but it only lasted for a moment. "What's the point of thinking about such useless things? Now that things have come to this, we'll just have to see what he's going to do."
Back in Ironblood Weave's battlefield, Cursewind had fought Lu Yin once. However, at that time, Lu Yin had needed to rely on external items to resist Cursewind. Cursewind had not taken Lu Yin seriously, so he had not used his full strength.
If Cursewind had been given another chance, he would have dragged Lu Yin down with him even if he had been annihilated.
Unfortunately, time could not be reversed, and even if it could, it was not something that they could do.
Many in the Astral Beast Domain had the same thoughts as Yao Gu, such as Tian Hou, who had fought Lu Yin during the Tournament of the Strongest. Xu Qing also hated himself for not using his full strength back then. Even if it meant sacrificing his last astral beast, he would have taken Lu Yin down with him. Violet Snow, who had led her team to the Human Domain to participate in the Tournament of the Strongest, would have been able to crush Lu Yin with a single finger. Feng Jiu, Monster Loach, the Void Wanderer Ancestor, and so on and so forth.
Countless astral beasts in the Astral Beast Domain who had crossed paths with Lu Yin were now filled with regret.
Lu Yin naturally knew about this.
He was currently relying on the Hellwyrm to suppress the Astral Beast Domain. Rather than relying on the Hellwyrm, he was relying more on instinct, the primal instincts of these astral beasts. However, as time passed, this instinctive fear would fade, and he would not truly control the Astral Beast Domain.
Thus, the next step was to completely merge the Astral Beast Domain and the Human Domain.
The Yao Emperor and Imperial Tutor Skymender definitely could not remain here. Lu Yin had to arrange for someone else to come to the Astral Beast Domain, but who should he arrange?
Hengxin could not possibly leave such an unruly person here, as that would be the same as giving Lu Yin a chance to escape his control.
Thus, there were only a few suitable candidates.
Unfortunately, Progenitor Chen's power could not extend to the Astral Beast Domain. Otherwise, anyone would have been able to oversee the Astral Beast Domain. A single thought from Progenitor Chen would be able to eliminate all unstable factors.
Lu Yin's suppression of the Astral Beast Domain had caused huge waves in the Human Domain. Countless people looked towards the east in excitement. Once the Astral Beast Domain was conquered, the Human Domain would double in size. At that time, the humans would truly unify the Fifth Mainland.
Within the Above the Sky Sect, the Ghost Monkey had fallen silent after learning that Lu Yin had used the Hellwyrm to sweep through the Astral Beast Domain. No one could find him.
A series of events.
Over the next few days, Lu Yin listened to Imperial Tutor Skymender's reports on the Astral Beast Domain.
He now had a clearer understanding of the Astral Beast Domain.
In general, the Astral Beast Domain was controlled by the Celestial Beast Empire, but that did not mean that they completely ruled over the Astral Beast Domain.
It was just like how the Human Domain obeyed the Hall of Honor on the surface, but that did not mean that the Hall of Honor ruled over the entire Human Domain.
There were all sorts of alliances in the Astral Beast Domain. When Lu Yin had participated in the border war for the first time, he had encountered the Desolate Beast Alliance. It was an alliance of seven Enlighter astral beasts, and their leader was known as the Soaring Flamer Emperor. He was originally from the Soaring Flamer Clan, but he was a traitor and called himself the Soaring Flamer Emperor.
There were twenty-six such alliances in the Astral Beast Domain, but all of them had submitted to Lu Yin.
The threat and despair that the Caged Wyrm brought was too great.
"Stop." Lu Yin interrupted Imperial Tutor Skymender.
Imperial Tutor Skymender looked at him in confusion.
Lu Yin leaned forward. "Imperial Tutor, are you interested in becoming a teacher in the Above the Sky Sect?"
Imperial Tutor Skymender calmly looked at Lu Yin. "I will obey your orders."
Lu Yin's lips curled up, and he looked at the Beast Emperor. "Jueyi betrayed me and will never appear again. The Above the Sky Sect has eight Heavenly Gates, and I do not wish to change them. Are you willing to oversee one of them?
Change the Undying Gate to the Heavenly Beast Gate. "
The other astral beasts looked at each other. Lu Yin wanted to take away two of the Astral Beast Domain's strongest powerhouses. This way, no matter what the Astral Beast Domain did, no one would be able to resist Lu Yin.
The Beast Emperor knew that he had no other choice, and that Jueyi would never appear again. The meaning behind Lu Yin's words was simple: if he did not agree, then he would never appear again.
"I'll leave it to you, Daozi," the Beast Emperor said dejectedly.
Lu Yin was satisfied. "Don't worry, the leaders of the Heavenly Gates and the teachers hold the highest positions in the Above the Sky Sect. With your cultivations, you will definitely have a place in the Above the Sky Sect."
After saying that, Lu Yin looked at the others. "I plan to form another army in the Above the Sky Sect, and it will be called the Astral Beast Army. There will be twenty Envoys, two hundred Enlighters, five thousand Explorers and Hunters, and ten million astral beasts. I hope that everyone will support me."
The astral beasts did not object. When the Hellwyrm had unleashed his Progenitor's power and swept through the Astral Beast Domain, this outcome had already been decided. If the Astral Beast Domain ruled over the Human Domain, they would have done the same.
"We will follow your instructions, Daozi," the group of astral beasts replied respectfully.
Yao Xuan was unwilling to accept this, and he couldn't help but look at Lu Yin again.
Lu Yin smiled. "Right, there are also many astral beasts that are difficult to tame. The twenty-six alliances are an example. They might have submitted now, but that doesn't mean that they will submit in the future. Thus, there must always be someone overseeing this place. What do you think of the Skyblade Sect?"
Imperial Tutor Skymender asked, "Daozi, are you talking about Sect Master Leng Qing?"
Lu Yin nodded.
Imperial Tutor Skymender respectfully replied, "Sect Master Leng Qing is a Half-Ancestor from the era of the Above the Sky Sect. He is one of the leaders of the Twelve Heavenly Gates and has a certain chance of becoming a Progenitor. If he suppresses the Astral Beast Domain, then no one will dare to oppose him."
"It's good that you agree, Imperial Tutor. It's decided then. Aside from these matters, there are still many other matters that need to be taken care of, but I won't leave them to anyone else. There's a place that I hope you can take me to," Lu Yin said with a calm gaze. "It's where the human-shaped sourcebox is stored."
Imperial Tutor Skymender and the Beast Emperor were shocked, and they both looked at Lu Yin. "How did you know?"
