Lu Yin grabbed the Corpse King's shoulder, and a green light flashed from his palm as he shattered half of the Corpse King's body. He watched as the Corpse King's body fell to the ground. He looked around and saw that the platform was constantly flashing with blue light. Shi Hong and the two men were guarding the three sides of the platform, making it impregnable.
However, because of their strength, they attracted even more corpse kings.
One corpse king after another fell, and in the blink of an eye, another corpse king rushed over.
The adjacent platforms were all dead silent, and fresh blood stained the ground.
"Sister Hong, we can't do this, it'll only attract more monsters. If a monster with a power level of over a million charges over, we won't be able to stop it," one of the men said.
Shi Hong's face darkened, "We'll take turns. You attack with the blue energy source first, and we'll switch to the green one. We'll wait until you've used up all your energy, then we'll attack again."
"Okay."
When only one of the three blue energy sources remained, the number of corpse kings attacking the platform decreased noticeably.
Lu Yin and the others weren't idle either, and they quickly filled in the area that they hadn't defended. There were also many corpse kings charging over from that direction, but fortunately, none of them were Envoys yet.
Previously, only Envoys had been able to break through the blockade of the energy source and the carrier weapons, but now, all the corpse kings were charging over. Most of them weren't very strong, and their corpses piled up like a mountain.
"Brother-in-law, slow down and use it sparingly. Otherwise, the energy will run out," Luo Laoer reminded him. At some point, a palm-sized armor had appeared in front of his chest. It glowed with vibrant colors and looked very beautiful.
"Did you use the spatial power of the three Sovereigns to simulate this armor?"
Lu Yin glanced at it.
Luo Laoer was shocked, "You can even tell?
As expected of a cultivation civilization, no one else can tell. "
Lu Yin looked at the armor again, "It can be used on weapons. Not bad."
"Alright, Brother-in-law, now's not the time to talk about this. They're coming, kill them!" Luo Laoer shouted.
Lu Yin waved his hand; he already had a staff in his hand, and he swung it at the corpse king, sending it flying.
One Corpse King after another rushed over. If one looked from afar, they would see that the entire carrier was filled with Corpse Kings.
"It's over. Although there are many platforms, they are extinguishing one by one. Once less than half of the platforms are extinguished, we won't have the power to fight against the most terrifying monster. When that time comes, we'll all die," Luo Laoer wailed. He was considering tearing the void to return to the Three Sovereigns' space. He could do it anyway, but it would be troublesome if he went back. He would definitely be sent to the hyperspace.
This was also the reason why the people on the platform did not escape. It was not that they did not want to escape, but that they did not dare to.
If they escaped, they would definitely die. Even if they had a background like Zuo Yu, they would definitely not be able to survive. The decision-making team would not let any deserters live. If they did not escape, perhaps they would not die and would still have a chance to live.
This was the most torturous thing for them. To them, there was a path they could avoid before they died, but that path would still lead them to death. It was just that the time taken would be prolonged.
Sometimes, waiting for death was more torturous than dying.
Lu Yin retreated, and someone else took his place. They were also allocating the energy usage time.
"Unless the user of the black energy source appears, we're all dead," Mudo said as he looked at the Progenitor realm Corpse King in the distance.
Zuo Yu looked at Lu Yin, "Actually, you can leave."
Lu Yin's gaze shifted, meeting the gazes of Zuo Yu, Mudo, and the rest.
"You're not from the hyperspace era, and neither is Zi Jing.
You have the stain of a deserter. If you escape, no one will say anything. Besides, you need Zi Jing's help, so the decision-making team might not hold you accountable for your desertion, "Zuo Yu continued.
Mudo fell silent. Comparatively speaking, Lu Yin was luckier than the rest. Even if he had become a deserter, he still had a chance to survive as long as Zi Jing displayed enough value.
"Brother-in-law, take me with you," Luo Laoer begged.
Lu Yin replied, "If I take you with me, you'll become a deserter."
"It's fine, just say that you kidnapped me and couldn't bear to see me die in battle. I definitely didn't want to leave and would rather die with everyone else, but I couldn't beat you and was kidnapped by you in the end," Luo Laoer excitedly told Lu Yin after finding an excuse.
Time passed, and more than half of the platforms were extinguished.
Qiu Zhan panted heavily and looked at the Progenitor Corpse King, who was calmly standing in place. When Qiu Zhan looked over, it also looked up with a strange smirk on its face.
There was a boom as the platform exploded and several platforms were extinguished. A Corpse King walked out from the center of the explosion, its entire body burning with blade-like flames. It took a step forward and appeared on the next platform. In the blink of an eye, the platform was engulfed in flames and exploded under the blade's attack.
This Corpse King had a power level of over a million, and with Qiu Zhan and the rest holding back the Corpse King, it was practically invincible.
Platforms were destroyed one after another, and it soon approached Lu Yin's platform.
Shi Hong stared in that direction; it was getting closer and closer.
"Sister Hong, let's retreat, we're not their match," one of the men said.
Another man added, "Sister Hong, we can't just throw our lives away. Sir has spent too much energy on us, and the dojo …" "I know," Shi Hong was irritated, but she clenched her fists as she saw another platform being destroyed, "Let's go."
The two men were delighted.
No one else could hear their conversation, but Lu Yin could.
They actually wanted to escape? Lu Yin raised his brows; this wouldn't do. If they escaped, how were they supposed to defend this platform?
He looked up into space; even if Zijing wanted to protect him, Lu Yin wouldn't be able to do so.
Normally, he would definitely die, and if he didn't die, then there would be a problem, and if there was a problem, then it would be very likely that it would be discovered. Lu Yin didn't want to leave right after arriving at the hyperspace.
"Let's go," Shi Hong growled and raised a hand to tear through the void and return to the hyperspace.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed; the formless void had been isolated. Under the Void God's domain, how could they break through the void?
Shi Hong waved her hand, but the void didn't react. She felt strange and tried again, but it was still useless.
"Sister Hong, let's go! It's coming!" one of the men grew anxious.
The flaming Corpse King was already looking at them.
Shi Hong's face flushed red, and blue energy flickered. She waved her hand, but the void didn't move at all. She was in disbelief. "Why is this happening?"
"Sister Hong!" the other man shouted.
Shi Hong was furious. "We can't leave! The void has been frozen!"
The man was shocked and hurriedly moved, but the result was the same. The void didn't move at all, and they couldn't escape.
It's over. That was the only word that appeared in their minds.
The flaming Corpse King suddenly charged over and raised its hand, causing endless flames to descend. These flames far surpassed the Blazing Mist Flowzone's flame battle techniques and the Karmic Flame Sword; they were on a completely different level. In comparison, the Karmic Flame Sword was just a small flame.
In the face of these flames, Zuo Yu and the others felt their scalps go numb. They couldn't even escape.
Shi Hong and the others could only go all out, and they frantically released their blue energy to resist the flames.
Unexpectedly, the flames actually managed to block them.
Shi Hong and the others weren't the only ones who were surprised; the Corpse King was just as surprised. The blue energy shouldn't have been able to block its flames.
The Corpse King suddenly appeared in front of Shi Hong and the others. It stretched out its palms and instantly absorbed the flames, transforming them into two suns that pressed down on Shi Hong and the others. These suns illuminated half of the platform, and the high temperature alone was enough to melt the metal. The moment it touched them, the entire platform would disappear.
"Void God." Shi Hong gritted her teeth. She didn't know what the three of them did, but a whale skeleton, a meteorite, and a giant shield appeared on the platform and collided with the Corpse King.
The extreme heat collided with the three enormous objects, melting the shield and meteorite in the blink of an eye. The whale skeleton melted as well, and there was a loud cracking sound as it was enveloped by the blue light.
The blue light forcefully pushed the Corpse King away into outer space.
Lu Yin was stunned. What was that?
"The power of the Void God civilization?"
Luo Laoer cried out.
The others were dumbfounded, as those three objects had appeared too suddenly. Where had they come from?
After pushing the Corpse King away, Shi Hong continuously retreated. Her entire body was covered in burn marks, but the two men were in an even worse state. They were barely alive and had collapsed onto the ground, unable to even stand up.
Their all-out attacks had only managed to push the Corpse King away.
The Corpse King's retreating body suddenly stopped. "The power of the Void God." The flames ignited once more. "Ant." The Corpse King raised its hand, and a blazing light appeared in its palm, blinding everyone.
Shi Hong felt bitter; it was useless. The power of a Void God could not harm him at all.
The two men despaired; if they had known this would happen, they would not have come.
Suddenly, the blazing light in the Corpse King's palm dimmed and disappeared. Its scarlet eyes glazed over, and it slowly lowered its head. At some point in time, a deep scar had appeared on its chest. It looked like it had been struck by the whale skeleton, and there was a crack there. Then, it shattered into pieces.
This sudden turn of events stunned everyone, and even Qiu Zhan, who was fighting the Corpse King in outer space, was astonished. He looked deeply at Shi Hong; was that the power of a Void God?
The combined power of the Six Directions Society was actually this strong?
No one had expected the Corpse King to die just like that.
They stared at the empty space, unable to react.
Luo Laoer was the first to react. "Sister Hong, you're amazing. I love you."
Shi Hong was stunned. Was she the one who had done this?
Could the power of a Void God and a blue energy source be this strong?
She was at a loss.
The two men lay down. "Sir is right. Civilizations complementing each other is the way out. Only then can we defeat the Eternals."
"Sir is truly far-sighted."
"Sister Hong, the Void God you chose is too powerful. It's a pity that it's gone."
Shi Hong retracted her gaze. "I'll choose another one when we get back." She frowned and looked at her hands. She was well aware of the power of a Void God, and it was far from enough to kill the Corpse King. Why had this happened?
Not too far away, Lu Yin was watching Shi Hong and the others. He had naturally killed the Corpse King, and while it had been pushed away by those strange things, he had blamed them for its death.
But what exactly were those things?
"Luo Laoer, what kind of power was that?"
Lu Yin asked. That power had surpassed their own power level.
