Little Pao was also in the spacecraft, and after Big Pao had attacked, he raised his hand as well. Black flame-like lines spread from his palm, and his two-lined battle force formed a giant black flaming palm print. "Black Flaming Palm."
The Black Flaming Palm pressed Wu Kuang into the ground, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Although Wu Kuang's power level was close to 50,000, he was still an ordinary Explorer and could not compare to an elite Explorer. Both Big Pao and Little Pao were Explorers, but they had graduated from the Astral Combat Academy and had been personally taught by Astral-10's mentors. Their strength could not be measured by their power levels, and when the two worked together, Wu Kuang was easily suppressed.
There was a loud bang as the Infernal God Gun's bullet pierced through Wu Kuang's forehead, causing a huge crack to appear in the ground that extended towards the city.
"Let's go!" Little Pao barked, and the two immediately left.
Not long after they left, the entire city was sealed off, and experts from Deep Crimson Hall appeared to search for the killer. News of Wu Kuang's death was immediately reported to Deep Crimson Hall's Hall Master, Bo Senior.
Deep Crimson Hall had two hall masters who were known as the Bo Duo. They were Bo Senior and Bo Junior, and both were Hunters. It was because of their existence, along with nearly ten Cruisers, that Deep Crimson Hall was formed and occupied the surrounding space. When Bo Senior learned of Wu Kuang's death, he was enraged and ordered a lockdown on Deep Crimson Planet. The culprit had to be found.
However, Big Pao and Little Pao had not left and were instead hiding in the city.
Although Deep Crimson Planet was huge, it was not too difficult for Hunters to search the entire planet. There were not many people on Deep Crimson Planet who had the strength to kill Wu Kuang, and they were also afraid of being found, so it was better for them to hide in the city.
"Wu Kuang is the first. With our strength, aside from the Bo Duo, we should be able to deal with the rest," Big Pao said solemnly.
Little Pao looked at the list of experts from Deep Crimson Hall and shook his head. "There are Cruisers with power levels over 70,000. It's too dangerous to deal with them."
Big Pao took a deep breath. "Old Cai only gave us two Money Bombs to deal with the Bo Duo. We'll have to figure out how to deal with the rest."
"There will be a way. We'll take revenge for that year," Little Pao said coldly.
The golden ocean was always calm, as always, and there seemed to be no life within it.
Lu Yin was still climbing the mountain, but when he looked down, he could no longer see the sea. Even the forest in the distance felt close. How many days had it been? He calculated that he'd been climbing for ten days, which meant that he'd been here for half a month.
From this position and height, he felt that he could jump into the forest with a single jump.
When he raised his head again, he still couldn't see the top.
"Seventh Bro, why do I feel like we've been either crossing seas or climbing mountains during this period of time? You must have some sort of conflict with the Symbol Ancestor," the monkey said unhappily.
Lu Yin was left speechless, as the monkey was right. Ascending the Sky Platform, crossing the Ocean of Death, and now climbing a mountain were all related to Rune Technology.
"Monkey, tell me more about the Symbol Ancestor," Lu Yin said.
"I don't know. I've already told you everything I know. The existence of Progenitors is a secret, and very few people know about it. If I wasn't an archaeologist, I wouldn't have been able to come into contact with them."
"How long has Rune Technology existed?"
"I said I don't know, but according to the records of the strong, it was very short, very short."
"A flash in the pan?"
"More or less. Anyway, that expert mentioned it in his autobiography. His record of the Rune Technology was just one sentence — one piece of heaven covers another piece of heaven."
One piece of heaven covers another piece of heaven?
What did that mean?
Lu Yin did not understand, and he suddenly recalled the voice that had been left behind on the island at the end of the Ocean of Death. The sky had changed, and the fifth, the sixth … Could it be related to that?
"What about the Symbol Ancestor?
How much do you know? "Lu Yin asked again.
The monkey was helpless. "I don't know. The Symbol Ancestor has existed for too long, and his civilization has even gone extinct. It's already pretty good that there are records of him. If you want to know more, you'll have to find a great power in the Neoverse, such as the Three Dark Hands or the Hall of Honor. Perhaps they'll have some records."
"How long can a Progenitor live?" Lu Yin did not give up and continued to ask.
The monkey did not immediately answer this question and muttered to himself for a long time. "I don't know. Logically speaking, even an existence like the Third Nightking has lived for a long time and doesn't die easily. Progenitors should be eternal."
"But I've never heard of any Progenitors in this universe," Lu Yin interrupted.
The monkey did not reply.
"Could it be that all of the Progenitors that have existed have died?" Lu Yin guessed.
The monkey replied, "I don't know, Seventh Bro. Don't think too much about it. You won't be able to come into contact with a Progenitor for at least a thousand years. No, it should be ten thousand years. No, it should be a hundred thousand years. In any case, it's impossible for you to come into contact with a Progenitor in this lifetime.
"Emissary?" Lu Yin was stunned, as he seemed to have heard of it before. Right, the monkey had mentioned that he had visited the Great Tomb of an Emissary.
"An Emissary is the name given to a powerhouse whose power level exceeds 500,000, and it means that they are the emissaries of the heavens. Such an existence is practically immortal. The Northgate Taisui that we saw previously had a power level of 400,000 at most, and he would never be able to break through to become an Emissary. Otherwise, the Northgate family would not have gone into hibernation. Let's put it this way: there are no Emissaries in the Outerverse, but there might be a few in the Innerverse," the monkey explained.
Lu Yin was filled with anticipation. What did it mean to have a power level of 500,000? With a single glance, the universe would be destroyed. This was an Emissary.
"Actually, an Emissary is a bit too high a goal for you, Seventh Bro. After all, you were born in the Outerverse. Why don't you set a lower goal like Northgate Taisui?" the monkey probed.
Lu Yin snorted. "Stop talking nonsense. Let's continue climbing."
The monkey pursed his lips. "Who knows how long we'll have to climb this stupid mountain? It's a waste of my time. If only Sister Feng Jiu was here, my dear Sister Feng Jiu …"
With Lu Yin's cultivation, climbing the mountain was not difficult, but when he reached a certain height, he discovered that his star energy had been suppressed. His expression immediately changed, as this was a difficult situation.
Without star energy, he could only rely on his physical strength to climb. He looked at the mountain peak that he still could not see the top, and he felt a sense of despair.
Without star energy, the monkey was basically blocked, and Lu Yin was once again alone as he continued to climb the mountain in silence.
He did not know if anyone had ever climbed this mountain before.
There were no signs of climbing along the way, and when he thought about the disappearance of the Cruiser, it was possible that this mountain would disappear if anyone touched it. The only reason he was an exception might have something to do with the Sky Platform and the Ocean of Death.
Another ten days passed, and these ten days were very painful for Lu Yin. With his physical strength, climbing the mountain was not difficult, but whether it was eating or resting, he had to climb the mountain. He had been maintaining the same posture for twenty days, and he still could not see the top.
This process was very boring.
Below him, the forest was just beneath his feet, and all he could see was gold. He could no longer see anything else, and he did not know if he was still in that sealed space.
More importantly, he did not know when it had started, but his spiritual force had been suppressed.
This formless pressure was like boiling a frog in warm water. It was not fierce at first, but the higher he climbed, the more intense it became. At his current position, even with Lu Yin's spiritual force resistance, he felt a little tired. It was impossible for a normal Limiteer to reach this point, and even an ordinary Explorer would not be able to do so.
The spiritual force pressure from this position was equivalent to Liu Shaoqiu's Third Sword during the Tournament of the Strongest.
Lu Yin shook his head vigorously. He did not care anymore and continued climbing. He had no other choice; he could only climb or die.
Another five days passed, and Lu Yin's mind was groggy. The spiritual force pressure from this position was quite strong, and he was almost unable to bear it. The mountain peak in front of him changed, and he seemed to have reached the peak.
Lu Yin was delighted, and he endured the pain of fainting as he climbed a thousand meters in one breath.
He used all of his strength to support himself, and his entire body fell onto a section of the mountain peak. He panted heavily as he lay flat on his back. This must be the peak!
He scanned his surroundings and then looked behind him. His expression changed, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. This was not the peak. There was another peak behind him — no, there were three peaks that reached into the sky.
There were three peaks at the top of a mountain, and this place was definitely not far from the highest point.
Lu Yin did not care too much and fell into a deep sleep. This sleep lasted for two days, and while he slept, his hands did not dare to leave the ground for fear that he would disappear.
At this moment, the Daynight Flowzone was bustling with activity. The Daynight Banquet was about to begin, and the Daynight clan welcomed the young powerhouses from all over the world. Nightqueen Yanqing, Chilian Daynight, Tiankong Daynight, Rou Daynight, Zhuo Daynight, and the other outstanding disciples of the Daynight clan all rushed back.
The Daynight Banquet was a tradition of the Daynight clan, where they would send out invitations to the younger generation of the universe for them to interact with each other. It was a way for the Daynight clan to communicate with the outside world, and all young people hoped to be invited to the Daynight Banquet. The Daynight Banquet was like a social circle.
Of course, invitations were just invitations, and not everyone would attend. After all, the universe was too vast, and many people were too far away from the Daynight Flowzone.
The experts on the Top 100 Rankings were all invited to the Daynight Banquet, but at most four or five people would attend each time. The rest would politely decline.
The Daynight Banquet was held on the main planet of the Daynight clan, Nightking Planet. This planet was incomparably huge, and it was one of the largest planets in the Innerverse. It was like a monster that floated in space, and it was rumored that the first Nightking had been born on this planet. To the Nightking clan, this planet was sacred.
Nightking Planet was rarely opened to the outside world, and there were countless planets around it for outsiders to visit. Only gatherings like the Daynight Banquet would be opened to the public, and only those who had been invited could enter.
At this moment, there were dozens of spacecraft hovering in space outside of Nightking Planet, watching as two figures confronted each other in the distance.
The Daynight Banquet had invited geniuses, and there were many geniuses who were enemies or disliked each other. The rules of the Daynight Banquet were that all grudges would be resolved in space, and no one was allowed to bring them to Nightking Planet. Thus, every Daynight Banquet, the area outside of Nightking Planet would be bustling with activity, and it would become a battleground for all sorts of battles. Nightking Planet would not stop this.
In space, a man and a woman looked at each other and then attacked each other.
Both of them were quite young, around thirty years old, but they were both Explorers from great powers. Although they could not compare to the experts on the Top 100 Rankings, they were still among the top of the younger generation. After all, they were qualified to participate in the Daynight Banquet.
The more intense their battle became, the more people came to watch.
