"Mister Lu, according to your description, the four Insectoid Lords are almost invincible. Our Ninth Heaven Universe has experts who can fight them one-on-one, but there are very few. Now that the Insectoid Nest is attacking and we're defending, we're too passive. Especially this Luo Chan. If that's really the case, how are we going to defend?"
They now understood why Lu Yin had been in such a heavy state.
No one would have an easy time facing a strange creature like the Luo Chan.
It was like an absolute external force on a battlefield that could directly interfere with the situation without being affected by either side. In the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of external force was a god. Although the Luo Chan wasn't an Eternal Realm expert and couldn't become a god in the eyes of cultivators, its innate ability was similar to that of an Eternal Realm expert.
An Eternal Realm expert was invincible, and the Luo Chan was invincible.
Lu Yin said, "The most important thing right now is to tell this information to all the cultivators who are dealing with the Insectoid Nest. Otherwise, we'll be at a disadvantage if we encounter the four Insectoid Lords. It'll be difficult to think of a way to deal with the Luo Chan."
"We can't contact anyone else, not even the Ninth Heaven Universe," Yujing said helplessly.
Lu Yin frowned. He knew this as well. It was too difficult to send information back to the Ninth Heaven Universe from their current location. Unless someone from He Fangshan came and saw them, he could send the information back to He Fangshan. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to send anything back.
There was another way, and that was to go back.
Lu Yin looked at the Oneleaf Lotus in the distance. It would take a year to return to the Ninth Heaven Universe and bring back the information, but could they afford to wait a year?
If the Luo Chan wasn't there, he could be at ease. The Insectoid Nest's second wave of attacks would take some time to arrive, but the Luo Chan's existence made this distance no longer an issue. It could appear at any time, which was the most troublesome.
Jue Ling and the others obviously thought of this and felt uneasy.
They already couldn't deal with the Insectoid Lord, and if another Insectoid Lord came, they would definitely die.
"Someone needs to go back to the Ninth Heaven Universe and bring the information back."
"The person who should go back is Mister Lu, but if you leave, this place …"
"Give up on this place," Lu Yin said, shocking the others.
When they heard that the Insectoid Nest had four Insectoid Lords, especially a strange creature like the Luo Chan, they instinctively wanted to give up on this place and return.
It wasn't that they didn't dare fight, but there was no point.
If they met with Luo Chan, they wouldn't even be able to to fight..... to the Luo Chan's, they wouldn't even be able to fight an enemy.. was Luo Luo Chan....
But no one dared to say this. If they did, they would have to take responsibility for it.
.. to Luo to them to Luo Chan to....
After all, Lu Yin was from the Tianyuan Universe. If something happened to him, the responsibility would be small. If they really gave up on this place, they would have to bear the responsibility. They belonged to the Ninefall Universe, and they couldn't escape.
Lu Yin looked around. "Luo Chan's existence makes distance meaningless, but there are also people on our side who make distance meaningless."
"Alarmed Gate Superior Imperial Guard?" Several people cried out in alarm.
Lu Yin nodded. "The Upper Defense of the Gate of Wonder can also make distance meaningless, but the range of the Upper Defense of the Gate of Wonder is limited. However, as long as it is within the range of the Gate of Wonder, Luo Chan will not be able to use its advantage. Wherever it leads the insects, the Gate of Wonder can be opened.
"Also, setting the battlefield here is too far from the Ninth Heaven. We won't be able to send any information, and reinforcements won't be able to come in time. The Insectoids don't care about death, and they reproduce very quickly. We don't know how many Insectoids there are, but we can't afford this."
Yu Jing agreed. "You're right, but it was the God of Defense who set the Insectoid Nest here. I'm afraid if we go back rashly …"
Lu Yin said, "I'll tell them."
Yu Jing, Jue Ling, and Mr. Tide-listener looked at each other and nodded. "We'll listen to Mister."
"What about the Consciousness Universe?" Jue Ling hesitated.
Lu Yin looked into the distance and saw the Consciousness Universe. "There are no creatures there."
Jue Ling didn't understand. "No creatures?"
Yu Jing interrupted her. "Mister, when are we going back?"
He didn't want to stay here for even a moment longer. He had a feeling that the Insectoid Sea could appear at any time, and he wouldn't be able to escape even if he wanted to.
Lu Yin gave the order and left immediately.
"Do you know where the limit of the Gate of Wonder is?"
"We don't know about that."
"That's the power of the God of Defense. We can't pry into it."
Lu Yin thought about it. "Torch City."
They were shocked. "Torch City?"
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "Torch City isn't far from the spiritualized universe and the Ninth Heaven Universe. There's a springboard there, and its speed is second only to the One-Leaf Green Lotus. I'm guessing that the limit of the Gate of Wonder shouldn't be too far from Torch City. We'll go to Torch City and drop you off.
Torch City had a springboard that allowed them to go in any direction, not just to the three universes. They could go in any direction, but no one had ever used it before. Torch City also had a way to communicate with the spiritualized universe, so it was the most suitable place.
When the God of Wonder had brought Lu Yin back to the Ninth Heaven from the spacetime warship, it wasn't too far from Torch City. That definitely wasn't the limit, so Lu Yin guessed that Torch City was likely the limit of the Gate of Wonder. Even if it wasn't, it wasn't too far off.
Yu Jing and the rest couldn't return directly since they were going out to war. It was most suitable for them to stay in Torch City.
Yu Jing and the rest also thought of this and didn't object.
Going to Torch City didn't count as returning to the Ninth Heaven. At most, they would be retreating from the battlefront, but it had nothing to do with escaping. They would also have less responsibility and could advance or retreat. It was the most suitable choice.
Lu Yin also had another plan, which was to inform the people of Torch City to immediately return to the spiritualized universe. Otherwise, once the hive civilization attacked, Torch City would definitely not be able to hold on, and the entire human battlefront would shrink. Luo Chan had completely changed the way they fought.
Lu Yin was glad that he had known about Luo Chan's existence in advance. Otherwise, the sea of insects would have directly bypassed the battlefield and charged into the Ninth Heaven. Even with the God of Wonder standing guard, the existence of the karmic chain might have caused the God of Wonder to be dragged to death by the sea of insects.
Without the karmic chain, whether it was the God of Wonder or the Grass Grandmaster, they would have been annihilated with a wave of a hand.
This was how the universe was; everything had its weakness. Even if the Eternal Realm was invincible, they couldn't casually attack.
At the same time, Lu Yin also thought of another problem: could this battlefield have been deliberately chosen by the hive civilization?
Humans couldn't possibly know about Luo Chan's existence, so if the hive civilization could borrow Luo Chan's strength to get close to the spiritualized universe and the Ninth Heaven Universe, then why was it so far away from the Ninth Heaven Universe?
Under the premise of knowing about Luo Chan's existence, there was one possibility that made one's hair stand on end: the hive civilization was using distance to gain an advantage in battle.
The further the battlefield was from the Ninth Heaven Universe, the greater Luo Chan's effect would be. This was definitely not a last-minute decision by the hive civilization; they were probably used to this method of battle.
Lu Yin's expression was solemn as he boarded the One Leaf Lotus. He definitely couldn't stay on this battlefield, but before that, he had to go to the consciousness universe to take a look. The progenitor and Yu Sang Tian were both concerned about Tian Que, and he wondered how they were doing.
The One Leaf Lotus carried all the cultivators and left the consciousness universe, sinking three degrees to the north as it headed towards the consciousness universe.
The battle in this direction was very difficult to deal with, but what about the other three battlefields?
The reason why he had come to support this place was because the western region where the Yu and Jue families were located was weak. After all, they had lost the Cheng family, so the other three regions should be doing much better.
…
Outside the spiritualized universe, sinking two degrees to the southeast, the sea of insects drowned out the starry sky.
Above the stars, streaks of sword intent slashed out and tore through the sea of insects, but they were instantly drowned by the sea of insects.
The abyss continued to erupt, bombarding one side from time to time.
"Ku Cheng, your Bitter Abyss is really busy. First, you guard the Heavenly Gate, and now, you're attacking the sea of insects. You've been quite busy recently, haha." Lu Sizhan swung his sword and killed a group of insects as he laughed at Ku Cheng.
Ku Cheng replied helplessly, "The Heavenly Gate is in the north, which is within our Bitter Abyss' territory. No one can avoid this hive civilization, so we're just one step ahead of them."
He then looked at Lu Sizhan in surprise, "Brother Lu, your sword intent has changed. It's more ruthless than before."
Lu Sizhan was surprised, "You can even tell?"
Ku Cheng smiled, "It must be from watching the rebirth of the Orchid Universe with the Seventh Night Pillar. Congratulations, Brother Lu."
Lu Sizhan smiled, "You can't compare to me now. If you want to compete, you have to ask your senior."
Ku Cheng didn't refute, "Brother Lu, you've become the leader of the Four Great Swords, and your sword intent has changed. You've already reached the peak of the Ku Adversity Level. Now, you've even comprehended your own sword intent. You've fused the four sword intents together. In the entire Continent of the Nine Clouds, there aren't many people who can compete with you in terms of sword intent.
Lu Sizhan rolled his eyes, "Don't say such nice things. If it weren't for your Bitter Abyss, I would have died already. Look at that thing, it doesn't move."
Ku Cheng and Lu Sizhan looked at the sea of insects at the same time. There, a gigantic snail-like creature was crawling slowly. Each time it moved, it would shake the void and shatter the stars, but nobody attacked it. It wasn't that they didn't dare, it was that it was useless.
That snail's name was Hui, it was a green celestial creature. It seemed to move slowly, but it could destroy anything it touched. The shell on its back could absorb physical energy and release invisible energy. Lu Sizhan attacked it with his sword intent, but it absorbed it and released invisible sword intent. If the people of Bitter Abyss hadn't attacked, he would have been in trouble.
Lu Sizhan was one of the strongest cultivators on the battlefield, but even so, he couldn't break Hui's defense and was injured. The others couldn't do the same.
The strong cultivators of Bitter Abyss joined hands with Lu Sizhan to attack it once, but they didn't plan to attack it again. It was like they were just giving it away. If they couldn't defeat it, they would just avoid it. Fortunately, it was slow, so everyone could keep an eye on it.
…
In the empty universe, a gigantic blood-red pavilion was lying in the starry sky. Behind the pavilion were many cultivators, and in front of it was a sea of insects.
The sea of insects kept attacking the blood-red pavilion, but it didn't move at all.
Suddenly, the blood-red pavilion expanded again and blocked the path of a cultivator. In front of the cultivator, outside the blood-red pavilion, there was a sharp thorn. It pierced deeply into the blood-red pavilion, causing cracks to appear.
The cultivator was shocked. If the blood-red pavilion hadn't blocked it, he would have died.
