This time, Nightqueen Yanqing and Kuang Wang could not hold on any longer, and they retreated continuously. It was unknown whether or not it was intentional, but Liu Shaoqiu's attack actually included Nightqueen Yanqing. He had swept both Zhanlong Daynight and Nightqueen Yanqing into his attack.
Kuang Wang's position was slightly off, so he wasn't affected.
The ground kept sinking, and the corpses of the cultivators who had fought in Xiao Mountain were all turned into ashes.
Zhuo Daynight was very smart. She did not try to run too far away, as her body's condition meant that she would not be able to run very far. As such, she chose to run underground without looking back. The moment she felt the intense pressure, she had already rushed into the lava. She did not know how deep she had gone.
Until he could no longer feel the pressure.
As the winds howled, the environment around Pyrolyte Mountain changed drastically. The ground had caved in by dozens of meters, making Pyrolyte Mountain seem even taller than before. High up in the sky, Liu Shaoqiu and Zhanlong Daynight were still facing each other. Both of them were panting heavily as they stared at each other.
Although Zhanlong Daynight wasn't injured this time, he could clearly feel that his strength had been greatly reduced. The layer of light that represented his recovery ability had disappeared; he had overused the Daynight Restoration Technique.
This was different from when Lu Yin had defeated Liu Shaoqiu on the Shenwu Continent. Lu Yin had crushed Liu Shaoqiu with overwhelming power, and Liu Shaoqiu had defeated Liu Shaoqiu with a recovery ability that surpassed the Daynight Restoration Technique. However, Liu Shaoqiu's Fourth Sword was a direct confrontation with the Daynight Restoration Technique, and it was a contest of attrition.
There was still no clear victor between the two, but one person had suffered a calamity: Nightqueen Yanqing.
Liu Shaoqiu's Fourth Sword covered a wide area, and he had purposely enveloped Nightqueen Yanqing within it so that she would become a sacrificial lamb for the two of them. Her Nightking's Body had been destroyed, and she collapsed to the ground, heavily injured.
Zhanlong Daynight clenched his fists as he stared at Liu Shaoqiu. He was still confident that he could win this battle. Even though the Daynight Restoration Technique had consumed too much of his energy, he was able to recover very quickly. As long as he could recover before Liu Shaoqiu unleashed the Fourth Sword, he would be fine. However, the Fourth Sword would not be so easy to unleash. Otherwise, Liu Shaoqiu would be invincible.
Liu Shaoqiu gripped the hilt of his sword tightly. His opponent's recovery ability was too abnormal, giving him a headache. He couldn't even defeat him with the fourth sword. Could it be that he had to risk using the fifth sword?
He only had a vague idea of the Fifth Sword and had not mastered it at all. However, if it was a matter of life and death, he could only take the risk and try.
Suddenly, Zhanlong Daynight turned around and stared in Nightqueen Yanqing's direction. There, a group of people were rushing towards them, and the leader was the Sword Sect's Yan Hua. Their target was Nightqueen Yanqing.
During the battle between the Daynight clan and the Sword Sect, Yan Hua's opponent had been Zhanlong Daynight. Zhanlong Daynight had not tried to kill Yan Hua, and Yan Hua's injuries had been lighter than Liu Xiaoyun's. Because of this, Yan Hua had the ability to attack Nightqueen Yanqing.
Zhanlong Daynight's expression changed, as he did not know if Yan Hua and the others would really kill Nightqueen Yanqing. Although he disliked that woman, he could not allow her to die in front of him. Otherwise, the Nightking clan would not let him off, and neither would Arbiter Zhenwu.
Helpless, Zhanlong Daynight could only give up on his battle with Liu Shaoqiu. He grabbed Nightqueen Yanqing and left. Faced with Liu Shaoqiu and the Sword Sect's experts, Zhanlong Daynight could not change the situation on his own.
Yan Hua and the rest stood on the desolate ground and watched as Zhanlong Daynight grabbed Nightqueen Yanqing and fled.
Liu Shaoqiu slowly descended, his eyes filled with unwillingness. He had not defeated Zhanlong Daynight, as Zhanlong Daynight's recovery was too powerful. It would be impossible to determine a victor until the very end.
"Junior Brother," Yan Hua walked over and sized up Liu Shaoqiu. "You're not injured, are you?"
Liu Shaoqiu shook his head. "What about her?"
"Little Yun took the pyrolyte ore back to outer space. Her injuries are quite severe, so she needs to recuperate."
Not far behind Yan Hua, a pair of eyes curiously sized up Liu Shaoqiu. Her gaze was filled with astonishment; it was Yōu Ye'er.
Liu Shaoqiu's gaze swept past the Sword Sect disciples, and it finally landed on Yōu Ye'er. He had no choice, as the Sword Sect disciples all had a single temperament, and only Yōu Ye'er was different.
The Sword Sect and Yōu Court were connected by marriage, and this was the marriage between Liu Shaoqiu and Yōu Ye'er. However, this was the first time the two had met, and Liu Shaoqiu did not even know what Yōu Ye'er looked like. He curiously asked, "Why is there a child here?"
Yōu Ye'er frowned and became unhappy. She removed her jacket. "You're the child. I'm Yōu Ye'er. Have you heard of me before?"
Liu Shaoqiu looked at Yan Hua with a confused gaze.
Yan Hua explained, "Have you forgotten about the marriage with the Yōu Court?"
Liu Shaoqiu's eyes flashed, and he looked at Yōu Ye'er again. He finally remembered that the moment he had inherited the Thirteen Swords, the Sword Sect had arranged a marriage for him. It was said that the bride was a princess of the Yōu Court. However, Liu Shaoqiu felt that Yōu Ye'er was too young!
"Hey, what's with that look? What's the meaning of this?
Are you looking down on me? "Yōu Ye'er placed her hands on her hips and glared at Liu Shaoqiu with dissatisfaction.
Yōu Ye'er was rather polite to other people, but she had no choice when it came to Liu Shaoqiu. She did not want to marry him, so she wanted to leave a bad impression on him so that he would break off the engagement.
Unfortunately, she was overthinking things. Liu Shaoqiu's mind was filled with nothing but the Thirteen Swords and Lu Yin, so he did not even bother talking to her. He turned around and walked towards Pyrolyte Mountain. "Start mining. From now on, this place belongs to the Sword Sect."
Yan Hua waved his hand, and the Sword Sect disciples immediately took out their equipment and began mining the pyrolyte.
Yōu Ye'er ground her teeth, and her face tensed up as she thought about how to get Liu Shaoqiu to break off the engagement. She did not want to marry into the Sword Sect, as the moment she married Liu Shaoqiu, her Yōu Secret would have to be passed on to the Yōu Court, which would be equivalent to her losing her Yōu Secret. She did not want to lose her Yōu Secret, as she still wanted to explore the Neoverse. She did not want to marry someone and raise a child for the rest of her life.
How many women were there in the Top 100 Rankings?
How many women were there in the Ten Arbiters?
Yōu Ye'er's gaze was focused on these matters. She had a fighting heart, and she wanted to be famous throughout the universe just like that woman from the Sword Sect.
In the battle of Pyrolyte Mountain, the Daynight clan had been defeated. Liu Shaoqiu had taken over Pyrolyte Mountain by himself, and the Thirteen Swords had defeated the combined forces of the Daynight clan and the Second Grade Hall.
The Thirteen Swords had once again revealed their ferocious sharpness, causing countless people's scalps to go numb.
Nightqueen Qiuyu was furious, but there was nothing she could do. She could tell that Zhanlong Daynight had not been defeated, but because of Nightqueen Yanqing, he had given up on Pyrolyte Mountain. He could not be blamed for this, as Yanqing was too weak, or rather, too benevolent. If the Sword Sect had been completely wiped out in the previous battle, then the outcome would have been different.
On the Sword Sect's spacecraft, Liu Xiaoyun retracted her gaze and sighed.
Far away from Pyrolyte Mountain, Northgate Gang and the others did not know the outcome of the battle, and they did not dare to go back to take a look. That was another battlefield, and it was not a place they could step foot into.
Kuang Wang, Zhuo Daynight, and a few other cultivators who had not died had not been killed by the Sword Sect. Instead, they had allowed them to leave.
Zhuo Daynight had been severely injured, and she should have returned to outer space, but she had not. She knew that once she returned, she would not necessarily receive care and treatment. Instead, she would most likely be reprimanded and punished.
Nightking Yuanjing appeared to be kind on the surface, but he was actually ruthless. He did not care about her life or death.
She would rather hide in a corner of Planet Pyrolyte and silently heal herself, or wait for death. Perhaps death was not a bad choice, but unfortunately, she had not been able to remove the Caged Cage Technique and save them.
Zhuo Daynight dragged her heavily injured body and left a trail of blood behind her as she lay in a desolate and withered cave. She took out Shamrock Enterprises' special medicine from her cosmic ring and used it to treat herself.
She quickly fainted due to excessive blood loss.
Spacecraft continued to appear in the sky, and each time they appeared, there would be dozens of them.
Although the Sword Sect had once again seized Pyrolyte Mountain, they had suffered many casualties in the battle with the Daynight clan. Thus, they were still mobilizing Limiteers to Planet Pyrolyte.
A few days later, Lu Yin returned to Zenyu Star.
Hai Qiqi was shocked when she saw the three continents. "There's even a planet like this? Aren't you afraid that the three continents will suppress you?"
Lu Yin ignored her and looked at his gadget with a serious expression. His power level was continuously rising until it reached the limit of 200,000. Karthika had not concealed his strength, and he had suppressed Zenyu Star all on his own.
Hai Qiqi pursed her lips. "There seems to be someone very powerful."
Lu Yin put down his gadget and looked at Zenyu Star's space station. There was not a single person in the space station, and no foreign spacecraft had entered either. Everyone had gone into hiding, and Zenyu Star was like a bird in a cage. There was not a single person on the streets, and everyone could feel Karthika's power.
After Karthika arrived at Zenyu Star, he immediately sealed off the entire planet. Everyone could only stay in their homes and were not allowed to leave. No foreign spacecraft was allowed to approach, and no one on Zenyu Star was allowed to leave. He was absolutely tyrannical.
Huo Qingshan and the others were no exception.
Fortunately, Karthika had his own misgivings and had not killed anyone. This was a silver lining in a sea of misfortune.
Lu Yin really wanted to deal with him, but there was nothing he could do. Even the upgraded Money Bomb should not be able to harm an Enlighter, and his universal armor should not be able to withstand an Enlighter's attack. Against Karthika, Lu Yin was no different from Huo Qingshan and the others.
The moment Lu Yin's spacecraft entered the space station, Karthika looked up from a cliff on Zenyu Star that faced the ocean. His eyes were cold, and a murderous intent flashed through his eyes. However, it was quickly replaced by fear. He wanted to deal with this hidden danger, but Lu Yin's status left him with no choice. He was the Sea King's future son-in-law, and this alone was enough to make even the old freaks from the Divine Grade Hall with power levels in the hundreds of thousands unable to touch him.
It wasn't just Karthika; Huo Qingshan and the others also knew about Lu Yin's arrival. They stood up, tore through the void, and disappeared.
When the spacecraft landed, Lu Yin and Hai Qiqi walked out and folded the spacecraft before storing it in their cosmic rings. Not far away, Huo Qingshan, Ban Jiu, and many other Explorers were standing quietly.
When Lu Yin looked over, they all bowed. "Greetings, Royal Regent."
Hai Qiqi's eyes widened when she saw this, and then she looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin nodded. "Let's go to the palace."
Huo Qingshan and the others stepped aside, and Lu Yin grabbed Hai Qiqi before disappearing with Flash, leaving behind a giant spatial crack.
Ban Jiu was shocked, as this level of power was too exaggerated. Lu Yin was just a Limiteer, but he felt like he was no match for him. Ban Jiu was a Cruiser!
It wasn't just Ban Jiu, as all of the other Explorers were shocked. The Royal Regent was terrifyingly powerful, and there were probably only a few people in the entire Great Yu Empire who could match him.
Huo Qingshan felt this the most, especially when he sensed a vague threat from Lu Yin's body. This was his intuition that had been honed from many years of battle. Could the Royal Regent be a threat to him?
How could that be? It had to be an illusion.
