The monkey shrieked, "Did you hear that, Seventh Bro?"
Lu Yin didn't have time to reply. He quickly walked out of the canyon and saw that the ground was littered with corpses that had been reduced to white bones. Flags fluttered in the wind as the corpses disappeared in an instant. Lu Yin's arrival had caused a slight noise that caused everything within ten thousand meters to turn into nothingness. Just like the centipede's body, everything that had been left behind since ancient times couldn't withstand even the slightest bit of destruction.
Lu Yin stared at the scene in front of him in shock. The entire island was covered in corpses; how many people had died?
There had to be at least a few hundred thousand. The sky was filled with explosions and countless voices.
"We are unwilling to accept this. The younger generation has no hope. How can we accept this?"
"I am the sixth, and I will kill all the fives."
"The sky has changed, the sky has changed. From now on, this sky is the sixth."
…
Lu Yin crouched down and endured the bombardment of voices. Blood flowed from his eyes, ears, and nostrils, dripping onto the island.
The monkey didn't make any more noise; it had probably fainted.
Lu Yin panted heavily and opened his mouth to try and reduce the volume of the voices, but it was no use. He even pierced his eardrums, but the voices still entered his mind and caused him to be out of his wits. Although these voices weren't attacks, the power they contained could still cause damage to Lu Yin's spiritual force. He couldn't even begin to imagine how powerful these powerhouses had been when they were alive.
Lu Yin couldn't take it anymore, and his body gradually trembled. He couldn't take it anymore. His gaze turned fierce as he ran forward. Even if he died, he wanted to see what the deepest part of the island was like.
As he ran, the ancient objects around him quickly turned to dust. This was a trial zone, but the effects were just like reality.
Lu Yin quickly rushed forward. The island wasn't large, and he quickly reached its depths. His eyes narrowed when he saw five spears that nailed a dried corpse to the ground. It was exactly the same as the one in the centipede's body.
What was the meaning of this?
Was this some kind of sacrifice?
Lu Yin couldn't figure it out, but before he could take a closer look, an even more ferocious voice entered his mind. Countless noises caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood as his body disappeared from the island.
Not far from where Lu Yin had died, another pair of clear footprints could be seen. They were exactly the same as the ones he'd seen when he'd first entered the island. This person had also come to this place, but the outcome was unknown.
At Astral-10's trial zone mountain, Lu Yin suddenly opened his eyes. His head felt like it was about to split open, and he subconsciously grabbed his head and almost fell over.
Coco, Xia Luo, and the others were all present, and they hurried over when they saw Lu Yin open his eyes.
"Brother Lu, are you alright?" Coco asked.
They all looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin took a few deep breaths and looked at the ground. He gradually recovered and waved a hand. "I'm fine. Let me rest for a bit."
"Oh," Coco acknowledged, and the group left the trial zone mountain to wait for Lu Yin outside. They were very curious about what was in the depths of the Ocean of Death, and they were certain that the changes in the Dao of Heaven were related to Lu Yin. After all, Lu Yin was the only one who had yet to emerge.
Lu Yin rested in the trial zone mountain for an entire day before leaving, and he was in low spirits.
The Trialmaster glanced at Lu Yin. "Kid, have you reached the end of the Ocean of Death?"
Lu Yin nodded and looked at the Trialmaster. "Does Mentor know anything?"
The Trialmaster shook his head. "I do not know."
Lu Yin didn't believe him, but he didn't ask any further because Coco and the others had arrived.
"Brother Lu, have you reached the end of the Ocean of Death?"
Coco hurriedly asked. Xia Luo, Zora, Michelle, Darkvoid, Meng Yue, and the rest were all present, and they all looked at him.
Lu Yin took a deep breath. "I'm here."
Everyone was shocked. Even though they had some guesses, they still couldn't believe it when Lu Yin confirmed it.
"What's at the end of the Ocean of Death?
Is there really an island that's filled with the corpses of powerhouses and ancient inheritances? "Meng Yue hurriedly asked.
Lu Yin smiled bitterly. "If there was an ancient inheritance, then I wouldn't be in this state." He looked around at everyone and then said, "There really is an island at the end of the Ocean of Death, and it's also filled with the corpses of powerhouses. But aside from that, there's nothing else."
They clearly didn't believe him.
"Liar, there's an inheritance at the end of the Ocean of Death. This has been confirmed a long time ago," Coco said bluntly.
Lu Yin shook his head. "I'm not lying to you, and there's no need for me to do so. Perhaps someone else has obtained an inheritance, but I haven't."
Everyone sighed. Regardless of whether they believed him or not, it was impossible for them to obtain any more information from Lu Yin.
Xia Luo asked, "Aside from you, are there any other signs that someone else has reached the island?"
Lu Yin nodded. "Yes, and the signs are very obvious. It shouldn't have been that long ago."
"It should be one of the rumored Ten Arbiters," Xia Luo said before leaving. He didn't seem interested in the inheritance.
The others also left one after another, allowing Lu Yin to rest.
Lu Yin knew that they didn't believe him, but there really wasn't any inheritance. However, the information he had gathered was linked to the centipede's body. Those spears should have come from the same power, and there were also those loud noises. Five?
Six?
Revolution?
Rebellion?
Hypocrisy?
Slaughter?
These words echoed in Lu Yin's mind for a long time, but he didn't understand what they meant.
Perhaps the Trialmaster knew, but he didn't plan on telling Lu Yin.
After ten days in the Ocean of Death, his greatest gain was probably the change in that finger. Right, Stargazing Deck.
After resting for a day in the trial zone mountain, Lu Yin felt that he could go to Stargazing Deck now. He couldn't wait to teleport there.
The Astral Combat Academy was divided into ten academies, and one thing they all had in common was that each of them had a Stargazing Deck. Many people said that the Stargazing Deck was the most important thing in the ten academies, not the trial zones.
Lu Yin hadn't understood this before, but he gradually understood now. The Stargazing Deck allowed him to see the past.
It also allowed him to use his lockbreaking tool to see things more clearly, as if he was actually there. This kind of power was not something that the trial zones could compare to.
"Student Lu Yin requests to ascend the Stargazing Deck," Lu Yin said loudly from below.
The Starmaster opened his eyes. "In principle, each person only has one chance to ascend the Stargazing Deck. I've already given you two chances, so no more."
Lu Yin said loudly, "Mentor, you said that the same scene won't change even if I repeat it. That's why you don't allow me to do it again. However, I'm confident that I can see different things even if it's the same scene. Please give me another chance."
The Starmaster asked, "Kid, do you think that the academy should make an exception for you?"
Lu Yin was stunned and hurriedly said, "I wouldn't dare."
The Starmaster looked at Lu Yin. "Since ancient times, there have been countless people with extraordinary innate gifts. It's not as if no one in Astral-10 has reached your current level. Even the Ten Arbiters from back then refused to repeat their request. You should leave."
Lu Yin was helpless. Even the Ten Arbiters had rejected him. "Mentor, can't you give me another chance?
The Ten Arbiters are the Ten Arbiters, not Astral-10's student. I've contributed to the academy, contributed to the academy, and bled for it. "
The Starmaster replied, "Leave."
Lu Yin sighed. This old man was abnormally stubborn.
"If a student wants to ascend another academy's Stargazing Deck, will you stop me?" Lu Yin suddenly thought of this question and hurriedly asked.
The Starmaster replied, "The other academies' Stargazing Decks have nothing to do with me. However, I must remind you that no academy allows students to ascend the Stargazing Decks twice."
"That means that students can ascend the Stargazing Decks in other academies, but they can't repeat it. Just like Astral-10, right?" Lu Yin asked expectantly.
The Starmaster did not reply.
Lu Yin understood. There were ten academies and nine Stargazing Decks, which meant that he could ascend the Stargazing Decks nine times. He only had nine chances to comprehend that finger technique.
Lu Yin bowed to the Starmaster and then left the Stargazing Deck.
He couldn't wait to go to the other academies' Stargazing Decks to observe that finger technique. He really lacked a powerful battle technique.
Before leaving Astral-10, Lu Yin was called over by Old Cai, who had learned that Astral-10 was going to recruit students in the Innerverse in the near future. Old Cai wanted to know if Lu Yin wanted to return.
Lu Yin was Astral-10's signature student.
Lu Yin calculated the days and shook his head. "I don't have time in the near future. The Daynight clan's Daynight Banquet is about to begin, and I've been invited."
Old Cai was surprised. "Daynight Banquet?"
Lu Yin nodded.
Old Cai's gaze and expression were strange. He muttered to himself for a while before saying, "Since you've been invited, it's not good to decline. Alright, Astral-10 doesn't need you anymore."
"Thank you, Old Cai," Lu Yin said and then turned to leave.
Old Cai suddenly said, "Right, the Daynight clan's Daynight Banquet is very grand. Kid, try to keep a low profile."
Lu Yin was puzzled, but he still replied, "Got it. I've always kept a low profile."
Old Cai's mouth twitched, as he couldn't tell how this kid was keeping a low profile. "If anyone asks about Astral-10, just say that you're not familiar with it."
Lu Yin blinked. "But I'm from Astral-10."
"You said you weren't familiar with him. This is for your own good," said Old Cai.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. There was something wrong with this old man, and he had sensed it when the Daynight Banquet was mentioned. Could he have stolen something from the Daynight clan?
Old Cai felt uncomfortable under Lu Yin's gaze. "Alright, hurry up and leave. I still have to make Money Bombs, so I don't have time for you. Right, don't use Money Bombs in the Daynight clan's territory. Remember, don't ever use them."
Lu Yin was certain that this old man had offended someone from the Daynight clan. What a scam! Did he scam Lu Yin?
There was no way he could get anything out of Old Cai, so Lu Yin immediately went to look for the Sandmaster. He wanted to find out more, but the Sandmaster remained silent and said the same thing as Old Cai. "You have to keep a low profile during the Daynight Banquet. Remember, keeping a low profile is the way to go."
"But Sandmaster, you once said that a person needs to be bold. Boldness is the foundation for increasing battle force," Lu Yin answered seriously.
The Sandmaster rolled his eyes. "That depends on the time. Anyway, it's for your own good. Just do whatever that old man tells you. He won't harm you."
"Then tell me what happened," said Lin Feng.
"You don't need to know about the older generation. Remember, don't ever use Money Bombs."
"Student." "Alright, that's enough. Let's go."
Lu Yin had been chased away by the Sandmaster, but he was still unwilling to accept it. Old Cai's attitude had been too strange, and Lu Yin could not allow himself to be cheated without knowing why. More importantly, this was the Daynight clan! Even if he had the backing of the Pirate King Highsage Leon, at most, Highsage Leon would seek revenge after his death.
