Lu Yin's scalp went numb. This feeling was coming from a Cruiser — no, a Hunter. A Hunter was attacking him.
There was a loud bang as the spacecraft shook violently. Lu Yin felt his mind go blank, and when he looked up, he saw an old man standing in space.
The old man's eyes were filled with hatred as he glared at Lu Yin. "Junior, Undying Yushan crippled my limbs. Today, you'll have to pay for it in his stead."
Lu Yin's pupils shrank, and the spacecraft was attacked again with a screeching sound.
Fortunately, as long as the Aurora was a blackhole-grade spacecraft, it could defend against a Hunter's attacks. Lu Yin was not worried about the spacecraft being destroyed.
The old man sneered. "A mere blackhole-grade spacecraft. Do you really think that it can defend against a powerhouse's attacks? Junior, there are battle techniques in the universe." The old man then used his star energy to form not just one palm, but multiple space-exploring palms that attacked the spacecraft.
The blackhole-grade spacecraft could only defend against a Hunter's attacks, but that was only the standard value. It would not be able to withstand a true Hunter's attacks. Just as the old man had said, he had battle techniques.
The palms slammed into the spacecraft, but it still managed to hold on. However, Lu Yin could not take it anymore, and he spat out a mouthful of blood onto the screen. He shouted, "Old thing, I'm a member of the Lockbreaker Society and the Ten Arbiters Council. You dare kill me?"
The old man laughed maniacally. "My limbs have been crippled, and I'll never be able to recover. I'm no different from the living dead. If not for the fact that Wendy Yushan is too strong, I would have taken her down with me a long time ago. It's not bad to have a junior like you accompany me in death."
Lu Yin's face went pale. He had no way of retaliating against a Hunter. Even if this old man was at the bottom of the Hunter hierarchy, killing him would still be as easy as flipping over a hand.
"How did you know I was here?" Lu Yin shouted.
The old man sneered. "You're about to die, and you're still trying to trick me. I'll make sure that you die with a grudge." Berserk star energy swept through the void and viciously attacked the spacecraft. After enduring so many attacks, the spacecraft finally cracked. Lu Yin's eyes widened. Was he really going to die today?
He could not accept this. This old bastard wanted to drag him down with him. He could not accept this.
"Seventh Bro, think of something! I don't want to die!" the monkey shrieked.
Lu Yin spat out another mouthful of blood, as his body could not take it anymore. He could already feel the pull from outer space.
"Quick, use Progenitor Wushang's hide! Not even a Hunter can withstand its pressure!" the monkey shouted.
Unfortunately, Lu Yin could no longer hear him. He had lost all of his five senses and was bleeding from his seven orifices. His entire body was like a toy as he waited for the old man to launch the final attack.
The old man arrogantly replied, "Junior, your death is enough to benefit my descendants for tens of thousands of years. Die!" Star energy tore through the void like a thunderclap, intending to destroy Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked at the torn space outside the spacecraft, and then at the streak of lightning. He suddenly thought of something, and he raised his hand to summon his die. He directly borrowed the lightning that he had absorbed from the rabbit and swept it out of the spacecraft. It streaked across space and shot into the dark depths of outer space.
Everything fell silent, and the elder's pupils shrank as he stared at Lu Yin in disbelief. How was this possible?
He could not believe that he was killed by a lightning bolt. This … this was a lightning bolt with a combat power of over two hundred thousand. How could this kid possess it?
The old man had no way of knowing, as he died the moment the lightning bolt swept past him. His body fell down, and he did not know where it would land.
The lightning that Lu Yin had absorbed had come from that terrifying rabbit, which had crushed the nine-headed ape with a single stomp. The nine-headed ape was a terrifying creature with a power level of over two hundred thousand. That rabbit's power level was unimaginable, and even if it had only absorbed a tiny bit of the lightning, it was still enough to instantly kill a Hunter.
Lu Yin sighed in relief as his mind began to feel dizzy. With a bang, the spacecraft suddenly disintegrated, and Lu Yin was exposed to outer space.
This was the second time that Lu Yin had been exposed to outer space due to a life-threatening crisis. Last time, he had been lucky enough to be saved by Madam Nalan, but this time, not a single spacecraft had approached him.
He closed his eyes in despair, as he was truly finished. He had thought that he had many identities to protect himself, but against someone who did not even fear death, his identity was useless. Power was the foundation of everything.
He now regretted not earning more money to increase his power.
But now, it was too late. He looked around and realized that this was what it felt like to be in outer space. He gradually found it difficult to breathe, and the pressure within his body was about to explode. This would probably be the last thing he saw.
A Limiteer exposed to outer space would definitely die.
After waiting for a while, Lu Yin felt that something was strange, as he seemed to be fine.
He raised his hand and looked at the lines on his palm, which were very clear. Although the pressure within his body was extremely great, it had not broken through his body. Although his breathing had been cut off, his vitality was still circulating. Could he survive in outer space?
He was shocked; why?
Could it be that his physical body had reached a certain level of toughness?
He could only guess.
The monkey did not respond, and Lu Yin looked around. He couldn't see the end of this dark space, and only the stars emitted light.
Although he was not dead, his movements were rather slow, and his use of star energy was also hindered. If he could display 100% of his strength on land, then in outer space, he could not even use 10% of his strength.
Lu Yin did not know how long his vitality would last, and he felt bitter.
His spacecraft's performance was too good, but it also had its disadvantages. His own spacecraft was too fast, and he had left the other spacecraft in the dust. He had not even had a chance to call for help.
If he had known this would happen, he would have prepared a set of universal armor in his cosmic ring. It would have been better than completely exposing his body.
There were countless strange substances in the universe, and only the heavens knew if his physical body could withstand them.
Perhaps his luck was good, but it didn't take long for a spacecraft to quickly approach him. Lu Yin was delighted, and he hurriedly used his star energy to simulate a universal distress signal. However, the spacecraft completely ignored him and directly flew past him.
Lu Yin was helpless; the spacecraft was too fast, and he was too slow in outer space. He could not catch up at all.
After that, a few more spacecraft flew past him, but no one came to his rescue.
Many people knew that it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble while traveling through outer space. Very few people would take the initiative to save others, as the concept of repaying a debt of gratitude was too vague in the vast universe. Many pirates used this method to fish, and most people were already on guard against it.
Lu Yin had no other choice, and after thinking about it for a long time, he could only do this.
He wrapped star energy around his fingertips, and it transformed into an extremely thin, rope-like structure that extended outwards. He did not know how far it extended, but it eventually stopped at a limit that he could not control. He then simulated a star energy rope and turned himself into a spider. As long as a spacecraft passed by, he would be taken away by the star energy he touched.
It all depended on his luck to see if he would starve to death or run into a spacecraft first.
Compared to the vastness of outer space, Lu Yin's star energy rope could only cover a relatively small area. It all depended on luck, but this was the only thing he could do.
Another two spacecraft passed by, but they were too far away for star energy to reach. Lu Yin waited nervously, hoping that his luck would be good enough.
In outer space, a spacecraft was traveling at extreme speed. It seemed normal, but suddenly, a smear of blood spilled onto the transparent metal.
Within the spacecraft, an expressionless man with cold eyes slowly walked forward. He held an ordinary sword in his hand, and blood dripped down the blade.
Bang! Bang!
Star energy guns fired, and regardless of whether it was metal bullets or light beams, they all hit the man without reservation. However, aside from tearing his clothes apart, they did nothing else.
The man's sword flew, and a few more heads fell to the ground. Headless corpses crashed to the ground, and blood flowed like a river. The man stepped on the blood and continued walking forward, leaving a trail of bloody footprints on the ground.
The stench of blood gradually spread throughout the spacecraft.
Within the captain's cabin, a dozen people were gathered together and staring at the screen in horror. "Who is this person?
Why is he chasing us? "
"Is it the Blaze Realm?
That's impossible. The Blaze Realm doesn't know of our existence. "
"No matter what, the others can die, but Paige cannot," a calm middle-aged woman shouted. She then looked at the trembling youth in the corner.
Everyone else looked at the youth with complicated expressions.
"Everyone, Paige is the flag of our Alliance. As long as he's alive, we will have the confidence to resist the Blaze Realm. If he dies, then our Alliance will be torn apart," the middle-aged woman said.
"There's no need to say anything else. We'll protect Paige with our lives," someone else said.
Soon, a set of universal armor was put on the youth's body. The middle-aged woman squatted in front of him and said bitterly, "Paige, you must live. You are the foundation of the Alliance. Only with you alive can we resist the Blaze Realm."
The young man called Paige was horrified. "Can … Can I live an ordinary life?"
Everyone fell silent.
The middle-aged woman's eyes were filled with sorrow. "I'm sorry, but you carry the hopes of the older generation. You are the true successor of the Blaze Realm, and your existence gives the Alliance the motivation to continue resisting. Remember, no matter what happens, everyone will protect you. You are the most important."
There was a bang as the sturdy metal door to the captain's cabin was kicked open. The asura-like youth walked in and looked up. His inhuman gaze swept across the crowd before finally stopping on Paige.
The middle-aged woman's heart skipped a beat. This youth had indeed come for Paige, but who was he?
If it was the Blaze Realm, then this person would not be here, but an almighty powerhouse.
"Who are you?
Why are you chasing after us? "someone shouted.
The youth raised his blade and slashed out. The middle-aged woman gritted her teeth and waved her hand. Flames swept out and tore through the void. She was an Explorer, but even so, it was useless. The flames were split apart by the youth's blade, and the blade did not stop there for even a moment before slashing down on the person in front, splitting him in two.
A terrifying atmosphere spread out.
Paige's face went pale, and he hid in fear.
The middle-aged woman was bitter. She was also an Explorer, but she had been unable to retaliate against this youth. Where had this freak come from?
Blade light flashed, and even though the middle-aged woman was holding back the rest, they were still killed by the youth one by one. Blood, headless corpses, and severed limbs filled the captain's cabin. It was like a scene straight out of hell.
The stench of blood was nauseating.
The youth slowly approached the middle-aged woman and Paige. Soon, only the two of them were left in the captain's cabin.
