Lu Yin suddenly attacked, aiming a palm behind Coco. His palm energy pierced through the void and dissipated on the surface of the Ocean of Death without causing any ripples.
Kuang Wang looked at Lu Yin in shock. "You saw an illusion?"
Lu Yin did not know how to explain it. He had not seen it, but it should be said that he had seen the illusion in advance and destroyed it. "I could sense it."
"Impossible, no one has ever been able to sense an illusion in advance," Kuang Wang immediately said. "What you saw might be what the illusion wanted you to see."
The others agreed with Kuang Wang.
Lu Yin could not explain this, as the Ocean of Death and the Sky Platform came from the same source. His eyes had mutated on the Sky Platform, and he had seen the rune lines as soon as he entered the Ocean of Death. This was definitely not an illusion, but he could not explain this to Kuang Wang.
"You don't have to worry about that. In any case, you guys don't have to worry. I can deal with the illusion in advance and focus on crossing the Ocean of Death," Lu Yin said confidently.
Kuang Wang wanted to say something, but Xia Luo interrupted him. "Regardless of whether Lu Yin is telling the truth or not, we can't change anything. Just listen to him and attack the next time we see an illusion."
Kuang Wang nodded, as Xia Luo was right. "Alright, everyone, remember to attack immediately if you see an illusion."
Zora was still in shock, and Coco comforted her.
Kuang Wang and Feng Shang's expressions were not good.
Only Xia Luo remained calm, as if he trusted Lu Yin.
"Seventh Bro, this place is haunted," the monkey spoke up. He had not spoken in a long time, and he could not hold it in any longer.
Lu Yin's eyes scanned his surroundings, and he casually sent out another palm strike to disperse the condensed rune lines. This time, the rune lines appeared beside Kuang Wang, who thought that Lu Yin was attacking him and almost retaliated.
While Lu Yin's side was fine, Shamrock Enterprises and the spirit hunters' boats also entered the illusion's location.
Lu Yin turned around, and his pupils shrank. The spirit hunters' boat was completely enveloped by rune lines, and even he could not see through them to see the people inside. Everything pointed to disaster.
As expected, the spirit hunters were quickly finished.
Now, only Lu Yin and Shamrock Enterprises were left.
But not long after, the students from Shamrock Enterprises also disappeared into the Ocean of Death.
In the end, they were the only ones left.
The boat went deeper and deeper into the Ocean of Death, and two more days passed. Xia Luo was gradually unable to hold on any longer, and his replacement was Kuang Wang. Compared to Feng Shang, Kuang Wang's strength was not as good in the Ocean of Death.
By now, they had already been traversing the Ocean of Death for about five days. The star energy boat's speed was neither fast nor slow, and they had already traversed a very long distance in these five days. However, they still couldn't see the end of the Ocean of Death.
The seawater became murkier and murkier. When one looked at the bottom of the sea through the surface, one would feel like one was being devoured.
Lu Yin maintained star energy in his eyes as he observed his surroundings, ready to act at any moment.
Kuang Wang and Feng Shang were also certain that Lu Yin could sense illusions in advance, which left Kuang Wang in disbelief. Even Starsibyl could not do such a thing, but Lu Yin could. This completely toppled his understanding of the world.
He wanted to ask several times, but he didn't.
"Big brother Xia, you're very tired. Do you want Keke to give you an injection?" Keke looked at Xia Luo with concern.
Xia Luo shook his head and smiled. "No need, Keke."
Even someone like Xia Luo, who was always calm in the face of danger, did not dare to let Keke have an injection. Keke had never tried this treatment on anyone in the Astral Combat Academy, which made her feel very wronged.
Zora could not bear to watch any longer. "Keke comes from the Windrift Hall. Although her syringe is very long, it doesn't pierce through the body. Instead, it follows the meridians to treat injuries and even recover one's physical strength. Her innate gift is very famous in the Windrift Hall."
Keke hurriedly nodded and looked at Xia Luo expectantly.
Feng Shang could not hold back any longer. "Actually, your explanation is even more horrifying."
Zora was helpless.
Keke was dejected, as she had not treated anyone in a very, very long time.
"Be careful, there's something strange," Lu Yin suddenly said as he looked ahead. This was the first time he had revealed such an expression since entering the depths of the Ocean of Death.
Feng Shang and the rest followed his gaze and saw a figure walking across the Ocean of Death, getting closer and closer.
Keke cried out and looked into the distance in fear. Zora's face also went pale, as if she had seen a ghost. This was the Ocean of Death, but there was actually someone walking on it.
Lu Yin straightened up. "It should be a war spirit, and an extraordinary one at that."
"It could also be an illusion," Kuang Wang said.
Lu Yin could not determine this, as the figure had appeared in the distance and had not formed within his field of vision. By the time he had seen it, it had already formed into a human figure with rune lines that could not be distinguished.
"How do you guys think an illusion is formed?
Is it the same as a war spirit?
Does it come from someone who has appeared before? "Xia Luo slowly asked as he stared at the approaching figure.
"That's possible," Kuang Wang said.
"If that's the case, then does that mean that the illusion also has the power of someone who has appeared before, as well as a spiritual force attack?" Xia Luo asked.
His words caused everyone to shudder, as this location was already very deep into the Ocean of Death. Those who could reach this location were basically all student leaders of the various academies, which meant that they were at least at the Realm Master level. A Realm Master with a spiritual force attack … Everyone subconsciously looked at Lu Yin. Wasn't this equivalent to Liu Shaoqiu's Third Sword?
Lu Yin had also thought of this. "Everyone, be careful. From now on, no matter if you encounter a war spirit or an illusion, you must face the power of Liu Shaoqiu's Third Sword."
"How are we supposed to face that? We might as well just die." Kuang Wang was speechless.
Aside from Lu Yin, no one else present was a match for Liu Shaoqiu's Third Sword.
The figure gradually approached, and everyone could clearly see that it was a war spirit.
The war spirit suddenly attacked and pointed at the group. The void suddenly split open, and a sharp edge slashed out.
Feng Shang's scalp went numb. "It's an innate spatial gift! Be careful!"
Lu Yin waved a hand and tore through the void, slicing the space in front of him horizontally to collide with the war spirit's attack. A cross-shaped void crack appeared above the star energy boat, and an enormous pressure pressed down. "Be careful!" Lu Yin suddenly leapt out and used Flash to close in on the war spirit. He raised a hand and struck out with a palm.
The war spirit in front of him actually had a rare innate spatial gift. Although he did not know what it was, anything that involved space was very troublesome. Darkvoid's void explosion was one such example, and even Michelle's innate gift of the red lotus had been defeated by it. Lu Yin had to eliminate this war spirit first.
The war spirit did not have any thoughts of its own, and it did not know how to retreat. When it saw Lu Yin's attack approaching, it waved its hands, causing the void in front of it to crack apart and form a defensive force field that resembled a mountain range. Lu Yin twisted his body and forcefully dodged it. He then used Flash to appear behind the war spirit and pressed down with a palm.
Suddenly, Lu Yin felt a sense of danger and used Secret Sidestep to forcefully shift his body. A spear pierced through the void where he had been standing, and another war spirit appeared.
With his domain and Sirius activated at the same time, as well as his eyes, Lu Yin did not need the Giant Emperor's third eye to use Secret Sidestep. Fortunately, this was the case, or else he would have been at a disadvantage with that spear. There were actually two war spirits … No, Lu Yin's gaze swept past the two war spirits in front of him, and he looked at Feng Shang and the others. War spirits had also appeared on their side, but Coco and Zora were already dead. There were no visible wounds on their bodies, and they had died in the same manner as the people inside the centipede's body.
Lu Yin clenched his fists and used Secret Sidestep to approach the two war spirits, causing the void in front of him to crack apart again. Innate spatial gifts were very difficult to deal with, but they could not be stopped by Lu Yin's Secret Sidestep. A spear formed from star energy pierced towards him, but Lu Yin did not dodge. If he was prepared, then these two war spirits' attacks would not pose a threat to him.
Lu Yin quickly dealt with the two war spirits. In the end, these war spirits were only Limiteers, and any Limiteer would not be Lu Yin's match.
Feng Shang and Xia Luo each faced a war spirit. Feng Shang was doing well, but Xia Luo was clearly not as strong as he wanted to be, and he was barely able to resist. Kuang Wang did his best to control the boat.
After Lu Yin dealt with the war spirits, there was no longer any suspense in the battles, and Lu Yin finished them off one by one.
Kuang Wang relaxed. "Four war spirits appeared all of a sudden, and they're all Realm Masters. How ruthless."
On the boat, Zora and Coco's bodies had already disappeared. If they entered the Dao of Heaven again, they would only appear on the shore.
"What a pity. We shouldn't be too far from the end," Xia Luo said.
"The closer we get, the greater the danger. I believe that the previous crisis was not the greatest, and there will definitely be more to come," Kuang Wang said.
Lu Yin agreed. If the previous crisis had been the same, then it would not have been able to trap the Astral Combat Academy's geniuses for countless years. The Ocean of Death had left behind a legend, and it was not just because of these war spirits. There were definitely stronger war spirits ahead.
On the other side, Wu Da hurriedly recorded everything that had happened in the Ocean of Death. Not only did he record his own experiences, but he also recorded the experiences of Lu Yin and the others.
Before the existence of the academy newspaper, crossing the Ocean of Death had always been a mystery. Details had only been passed down by word of mouth between friends and classmates. Now, with the development of the academy newspaper, the Ocean of Death had been unveiled.
"It's not enough, it's still not enough. We don't know what lies ahead. This information isn't enough to attract powerful students," Wu Da lamented.
He stood on the shore of the Ocean of Death and thought for a while before suddenly noticing Coco and Zora. His eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ran over. "Hello, my name is Wu Da."
After the two girls had died, they had endured their headaches and entered the Dao of Heaven once more. Just as Kuang Wang had said, they had appeared on the shore.
Coco curiously sized up Wu Da.
Zora blocked in front of Coco. "The founder of the academy newspaper, Wu Da. We've heard of you before. Why are you looking for us?"
Wu Da rubbed his hands in embarrassment. "Um, when did the two of you die in the Ocean of Death?"
After he finished speaking, he saw that Zora and Coco's expressions were unfriendly. Wu Da knew that he had said something wrong and hurriedly corrected himself. "No, that's not right. I just wanted to ask where the two of you were and what you saw. Don't worry, I won't let you tell me for nothing. If you have any problems in the future, just tell me directly."
Zora calmly replied, "Sorry, but we were brought in by the academy leader. Unless he agrees, we can't talk about the situation inside."
Wu Da licked his lips. "You're talking about Lu Yin, right? I'm very familiar with him. Don't worry, he won't say anything if you tell me."
Zora did not believe him.
Wu Da continued, "Lu Yin is the strongest person in the Astral Combat Academy. If I lie to you, I'm afraid that he'll shut me out. Tell me, and the two of you will be my younger sisters from now on. No, older sisters."
Zora frowned; this person was really thick-skinned.
