Lu Yin was surprised as well, as it was such a coincidence that the Limitless Empire had encountered and been repelled by the Divine Manor. Lu Yin was not surprised that the Divine Manor had the ability to repel the Limitless Empire, as the Divine Maiden's strength had definitely reached the level of the Seven Skygods. Even if Emperor Shang's twelfth ring had reached a level comparable to the laws of the Sequence, it would still be impossible for him to surpass the Seven Skygods.
If the Limitless Empire had such strength, they would not have been defeated.
Lu Yin muttered to himself. The Limitless Empire and the Divine Kingdom were both interesting.
After leaving the Divine Kingdom, he had given the Eternal Kingdom's coordinates to the Divine Kingdom so that they could hide in the Genesis Space if they encountered any danger. However, no one knew when the danger would appear.
The Divine Kingdom's danger originated from Di Qiong. If the Limitless Empire had encountered the Divine Kingdom before, it meant that the Limitless Empire might also encounter Di Qiong and the Everlasting Race.
Lu Yin wanted to attack the other Zones of Calamity of the Everlasting Race. The first Zone of Calamity had been forced into hiding, so it was time to deal a heavy blow to the other Zones of Calamity.
The Limitless Empire had to be lured over.
Lu Yin had left the Hellwyrm in the Astral Beast Domain, but he could only expose one Progenitor for the time being.
As for Bu Qing and the others, their mechas had already been taken away for research. They did not have much value, and Lu Yin had already thought of what to do with them.
Half a month later, in the Astral Beast Domain, the Hellwyrm bared its fangs and brandished its claws. From time to time, it would threaten the Limitless Empire's battleships that were stationed at the spatial tear.
The Hellwyrm gave them too much pressure. They worshipped large creatures, which was why their mechas were so large. However, they naturally feared the Hellwyrm as well.
The Hellwyrm was very comfortable, as it had not intimidated anyone in a long time.
On this day, a mecha walked out of the spatial tear and faced the Hellwyrm.
The mecha was completely blue, similar to Speedy's, but it was darker. The mechas of Bu Qing and the others were much smoother. They had experienced too many battles and were covered in scars.
"Are you the strongest creature in this spacetime?
My name is Fei Yan, the general of the Limitless Empire, "a voice came from within the mecha.
The Hellwyrm raised its body and roared, threatening Fei Yan.
Inside the mecha, Fei Yan frowned, "I'm talking to you."
The Hellwyrm continued to roar and its claws were sharp.
Fei Yan's expression turned ugly. "You're not smart, or are you unwilling to communicate with me?"
The Prison Flood Dragon raised its claws and continued to scare him.
Fei Yan was enraged. "You're courting death."
As he spoke, he took a step forward. A blue light flashed and the mecha appeared in front of Caged Wyrm. Under Caged Wyrm's confused gaze, the mecha threw a punch.
The mecha's fists were large and hard.
This punch forcefully bent the Prison Flood Dragon's neck. Following that, Fei Yan continuously attacked the Prison Flood Dragon's neck. This kind of creature's neck was its weakest point.
He relied on the mech's speed to continuously attack.
The Caged Wyrm was enraged after being hit a few dozen times. It raised its claws and waved it wildly. With a bang, the mech was sent flying. Inside, Fei Yan was unharmed. The Caged Wyrm's claws did not break the protective shield.
However, his attack did not do much damage to the Prison Flood Dragon.
He sized up the Prison Flood Dragon in bewilderment, what a strong defense.
Prison Flood Dragon opened his eyes wide, he rushed towards Fei Yan and attacked.
In the next period of time, under the gaze of many astral beasts, the two behemoths fought in the starry sky. Fei Yan's mecha was fast and had high defense.
The Prison Flood Dragon was large, had a wide attack range, and both had high defenses. However, neither of them could do anything to the other.
In the distance, Lu Yin watched calmly. As time passed, the Hellwyrm would definitely emerge victorious. He had seen the Hellwyrm's ability to withstand beatings before, and the mech was, after all, made from external materials. It might be able to withstand the attacks for a short period of time, but it would not be able to do so in the long run. Furthermore, its ring energy was not endless.
After fighting for a long time, Fei Yan panted heavily as he looked forward. The Prison Flood Dragon's eyes were wide as it bared its fangs and brandished its claws. It did not seem to be exhausted at all.
This was definitely the strength of an Eleventh-Ring creature.
Fei Yan knew that he could not win. Fortunately, this creature only had a higher defense, and its speed and destructive power were not as terrifying as an Eleventh-Ring creature. It also did not seem to have a brain, or else he would already be dead.
There was no way he could win, and there was no way he could negotiate. Since that was the case, he would have to explore this spacetime.
Even though he was unwilling, the Empire had ordered him to explore this spacetime. If there were any more powerful creatures, the Empire might give up on conquering this region.
As for Bu Qing, Fei Yan, and the others, they could only fend for themselves.
This was war. The Limitless Empire's conquest of a parallel spacetime brought about many deaths, and they had to bear the consequences themselves.
Four of Emperor Shang's sons had died, and the commander had lost one as well. This was unavoidable.
Fei Yan gave the order and released the mechanical hummingbird once more.
In the distance, Lu Yin frowned and had the Prison Flood Dragon intercept it.
When the Prison Flood Dragon attacked the mechanical hummingbird, Fei Yan hurriedly tried to stop it, but this time, the Prison Flood Dragon did not even retaliate. It only focused on blocking the mechanical hummingbird and did not resist even when Fei Yan beat it up.
Due to its large size and the obstruction of the other astral beasts, the mechanical hummingbird could not escape this region at all.
Fei Yan felt uneasy and had a terrifying guess.
This creature clearly did not have any intelligence and looked foolish, but it knew how to stop the mechanical hummingbird from exploring this region. Could it be that there was an order behind it?
It was very likely. He knew that there were humans in this region, and there were also giants, which meant that there were intelligent creatures. Generally speaking, there were very few beasts in this region that ruled over intelligent creatures. No matter how he looked at it, this creature seemed to be following orders.
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
In the distance, Lu Yin frowned. The Prison Flood Dragon's actions were too obvious, and it might have alerted the Limitless Empire. However, there was no other way, as they could not allow the Limitless Empire to explore this region.
Even if the Prison Flood Dragon did not attack, these hummingbirds would be destroyed, and the Limitless Empire would reach the same conclusion.
There was no other way.
If there was no other way, Lu Yin would have to personally take action.
The Limitless Empire could rely on the ring to maintain the void crack, and Lu Yin could rely on his sourcebox array.
He was already prepared to have Celestial Master Xiu Mingshi act as soon as the Limitless Empire gave up on this region.
Everyone had their own selfish motives. Fei Yan stared at the Prison Flood Dragon as he guessed at something. However, he was not prepared to report this to the Limitless Empire. Once he did, this region would be classified as a special incident, and the Limitless Empire might give up on this region, which would mean that his son would be abandoned as well.
If there was a chance, he would rather take the risk.
When he thought of this, he returned to the void crack and prepared to ask for help. There were some things that did not need to be said, but there were also some that could be said.
The Prison Flood Dragon roared and was about to attack, but Lu Yin stopped him.
It was best not to provoke the Limitless Empire and prevent them from escaping.
No one could say for sure whether the Limitless Empire was behind the void crack or if they were just passing through a parallel region.
The Limitless Empire did not exist in the universe itself.
This was because he could not use his compass to locate them.
On the other side, there was an incomparably large spacecraft behind the void crack that could hold dozens of mechas. Its size was something that had never been seen before in the Primordial Space.
Fei Yan returned to the spacecraft and disembarked from his mecha. Along the way, many people bowed and greeted him.
Fei Yan's expression was solemn as he approached the screen. "Connect to the commander."
Soon, a middle-aged man appeared on the screen. His expression was dignified, and his eyes were cold. There was a scar on his face that made him look quite ferocious.
"How was it?" The man was the commander of the Limitless Empire's expedition, Bu Wu.
Fei Yan's expression was grave. "It wasn't easy to deal with. That creature probably had the defensive power of an Eleventh-Ring Soul Armature. Fortunately, its destructive power and speed weren't too high."
Bu Wu asked, "Did you manage to explore that region?"
"We didn't succeed. That creature was huge and could destroy a large area of space with a single attack. Our exploration vehicles couldn't leave at all."
"In your opinion, what level is that region?"
Fei Yan thought for a moment. "We need reinforcements from an Eleventh-Ring Soul Armature."
"No," Bu Wu replied bluntly.
Fei Yan frowned. "Without an Eleventh-Ring Soul Armature, it's impossible to defeat that creature. Your daughter was also captured."
"I know. This is her life. You don't have to worry about it," Bu Wu interrupted.
Fei Yan was silent. It wasn't that Bu Wu didn't care about his daughter, but his position didn't allow him to have any emotions at this time. When his son died in battle, he didn't show any emotions. However, after the battle, he locked himself up for 30 days. When he came out, his hair was already white.
This matter made the entire Limitless Empire admire him.
His son was dead, and he only had one daughter. The pressure he was facing right now was unimaginable.
"He doesn't have an Eleventh-Ring Soul Armature, but I used my personal connections to invite Jiang Dongjian. If even he can't win, then let's give up on that region. We can't explore a region without a bottom line. If we have the time, why don't we explore other regions instead?" Bu Wu said.
Fei Yan was shocked. "Jiang Dongjian?
The number one prodigy of the Empire, Jiang Dongjian? "
"He's the same age as Little Qing and Fei Yan, but he can operate a Tenth-Ring Soul Armature mecha. He's one of the top Tenth-Ring Soul Armature in the Empire. If he can't win, then forget it," Bu Wu said and turned off the screen.
Fei Yan sighed. Jiang Dongjian?
Although this person didn't have an Eleventh-Ring Soul Armature, he wasn't far off. If he delayed that creature, then he might be able to save Fei Yan and the others.
He had some confidence in Jiang Dongjian. After all, he knew that he wasn't Jiang Dongjian's match.
But how did the commander have a personal relationship with Jiang Dongjian?
Time continued to pass, and soon, half a month had passed. During this time, Fei Yan went to the Astral Beast Domain several times and tried to find Fei Yan and the others by bypassing the Caged Wyrm. However, he was stopped by the Caged Wyrm. He tried to communicate with the Caged Wyrm, but the Caged Wyrm ignored him.
He wanted to find the Shifter Emperor, Ku Wei, and the others who had communicated with the Limitless Empire before, but no one bothered with him.
Finally, after another ten days, Jiang Dongjian and his Limitless Mecha Divine Sword arrived.
Jiang Dongjian was about the same age as Fei Yan and Bu Qing, but he was colder. He was like an unsheathed sword. Although he was an ordinary person, he was dazzling.
This had nothing to do with cultivation. This was Jiang Dongjian's temperament.
He was liked by countless girls in the Limitless Empire. His reputation as the number one prodigy, coupled with his handsome appearance and rough background, even Emperor Shang paid attention to him.
