Lu Yin seriously replied, "Miss An 'er, I want to borrow your strength to secretly enter Planet Pyrolyte."
Lily Anne was astonished. "Secret?"
Lu Yin nodded. "I'm going there to save a friend, not to fight over pyrolyte. If Northline Flowzone is willing to help, I'll do my best to protect your people. Of course, if you're not willing, then just pretend that I didn't say anything."
Lily Anne hurriedly replied, "We're willing. Since Brother Lu has asked, Northline Flowzone is willing to help. Please wait a moment."
Lu Yin nodded and ended the call.
He was not surprised that Lily Anne was willing to help him, as he had already promised to protect Northline Flowzone's people as much as possible. Secretly bringing him to Planet Pyrolyte would be as easy as lifting a finger, and even a fool would do such a thing.
Not long after, a map was sent to Lu Yin. His eyes flashed, and he rearranged his route to Planet Pyrolyte. As long as he reached the outskirts of Planet Pyrolyte, someone from Northline Flowzone would come to pick him up. He would then enter with a group of Northline Flowzone's Limiteers without drawing any attention.
Hunters and even Enlighters could use their star energy to scan the space around Planet Pyrolyte and observe anyone. However, Northline Flowzone also had an Enlighter in Granny Chan. To show respect to a powerhouse of the same level, the other Enlighters would not monitor Northline Flowzone. This was one of the reasons why Lu Yin had chosen Northline Flowzone. It would be easy to be discovered if he chose a power without an Enlighter overseeing it.
Hai Qiqi was very excited, as she could finally go out and play. Planet Pyrolyte was a gathering place for the top experts of the Innerverse and Outerverse's younger generation.
Lu Yin glanced at Hai Qiqi and frowned. "You're not thinking of fighting on Planet Pyrolyte, are you?"
Hai Qiqi rolled her eyes. "What do you mean by fighting? I don't know how to fight. Sister Seven likes to win people over with virtue."
"Why do you call yourself Sister Seven?"
Lu Yin had wanted to ask this question for a long time. According to his calculations, he would need to cross Northcastle Weave to reach Planet Pyrolyte in the Astral Wilderness, which would take more than a day. During this time, he could rest and adjust his condition.
Hai Qiqi answered matter-of-factly, "I'm Hai Qiqi, so of course I call myself Sister Seven. Do you have a problem with that?"
"Many people call me Brother Seven," Lu Yin replied.
Hai Qiqi was not happy. "No, you can't match me. You'll be called Eighth Brother from now on."
Lu Yin was speechless. He remembered that the Sea King had changed Lu Yin's name the first time they had met. They were indeed father and daughter.
"Eighth Bro! Hahahaha! Eighth Bro! Interesting! Hahahaha!" The monkey laughed maniacally.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed, and he slowly withdrew the star energy from his right arm. The monkey hurriedly begged for mercy and swore that he would forget about this matter. Only then did Lu Yin stop blocking him.
"How did you convince Hai Dashao to personally support the Great Yu Empire?"
Hai Qiqi smirked. "I have a lot of information that I can use against him. Isn't that simple? I just need to toss out any one of them and he'll come over to help me."
Lu Yin nodded, as he believed her. Hai Qiqi always had a certain charisma when it came to such matters.
…
The Astral Wilderness was a mysterious place to countless people in the universe. It was an unfamiliar region of space, but from Lu Yin's point of view, it was no different from the Innerverse and Outerverse. It was just as dark, and the only difference was that he could not use his gadget to contact it. Entering this place felt as if technology had regressed by tens of thousands of years.
Not long after, an astral beast roared as it flapped its giant flaming wings. This excited Hai Qiqi, as she was especially interested in astral beasts that could soar through space.
Lu Yin's expression turned solemn. In this region of space that had yet to be fully explored, who knew what would appear? He had not forgotten about the giant centipede's body in the Northline Flowzone. That creature could easily crush him to pieces with just a flip of its body.
However, since Northline Flowzone had given him this map, it should be safe.
Lu Yin's guess was correct, as this route was actually the same route that Northline Flowzone's Granny Chan had used to enter Planet Pyrolyte. She had dealt with all the dangers along the way, and there had not even been a single Hunter with a power level of over 100,000.
This sort of route map was extremely precious to the various great powers. When they handed it over to Lu Yin, they had also paid a price, and it all depended on whether or not it was worth it.
Lu Yin was well aware of this, and he looked at the unfamiliar region of space. Planet Pyrolyte was not too far away.
Planet Pyrolyte was like a delicious cake that attracted the attention of all the great powers. When Lu Yin saw Planet Pyrolyte, he also saw all sorts of spacecraft circling it. There were all sorts of strange shapes and sizes, and the most recognizable one was the Sword Sect's sword-shaped spacecraft, which was quite eye-catching. There were also spacecraft from the Daynight clan, Souldream Tribe, and others, all of which had very unique designs.
Lu Yin was not intercepted, and he smoothly entered Northline Flowzone's warship.
With Granny Chan overseeing things, there were no Enlighters monitoring this region of space, so no one knew that Lu Yin had arrived.
Lily Anne was very excited about Lu Yin's arrival, and Granny Chan had personally come to meet him. This made Lu Yin realize the importance of pyrolyte ore. He did not act arrogantly and bowed to Granny Chan. "Junior Lu Yin greets senior."
Granny Chan looked at Lu Yin with satisfaction. "You don't have to be so polite. This isn't our first time meeting."
Lu Yin glanced at Lily Anne, who was standing behind Granny Chan, and nodded. "This junior represented the Ten Arbiters Council in the Northline Flowzone's Northgate Platform Competition. This isn't our first time meeting, and senior is still as elegant as ever."
Granny Chan smiled. "You really know how to speak. Did your journey here go smoothly?"
Lu Yin replied, "It went smoothly. Thank you for your concern, senior."
Granny Chan looked at Hai Qiqi, who was standing behind Lu Yin, but she did not ask any questions. Northline Flowzone's influence was small, and their grasp of information was not as detailed as the Daynight clan's or the Sword Sect's. They also did not know much about the Sea King's Dome, and since Hai Qiqi was wearing Zenyu Star's uniform, it was normal for them not to recognize her.
On Zenyu Star, Karthika had also recognized Hai Qiqi through the symbol on her collapsible spacecraft, but he had not exposed her.
Lily Anne had met Hai Qiqi before and knew that she was the Sea King's daughter, but she had no intention of telling Granny Chan.
Hai Qiqi did not care much about Granny Chan. She was just an Enlighter, and her family had more than one, so it was not strange.
Granny Chan quickly left, and Lily Anne received Lu Yin.
Without the Enlighter, Lu Yin relaxed. Facing such a powerhouse made him feel uncomfortable. Even if they did not have any ill intentions, Lu Yin did not want to get too close to someone who could control his life.
"Brother Lu, you must have had a hard journey. Let me take you to rest," Lily Anne said with a smile.
Lu Yin shook his head. "It wasn't hard. It was just a spacecraft."
"That's right, it wasn't hard at all. Hurry up and send us to Planet Pyrolyte," Hai Qiqi said hurriedly, looking forward to it.
Lily Anne glanced at Hai Qiqi. She had no intention of exposing this Sea King's daughter, as doing so would bring about unpredictable variables. At the very least, Northline Flowzone would have to be responsible for her safety, which would be a huge burden, especially since this Sea King's daughter was especially eccentric.
Lily Anne did not plan on getting close to Hai Qiqi either. The moment she saw Hai Qiqi, Lily Anne knew that this girl's personality would not work, so she treated her normally.
"Brother Lu, the supplies have been prepared. Do you plan on entering Planet Pyrolyte now?" Lily Anne asked.
Lu Yin nodded.
Lily Anne ordered someone to put food and water into a cosmic ring and handed it to Lu Yin. She then led him to the personal spacecraft's cabin, where there were already a dozen people waiting for orders.
Lu Yin changed his appearance, and he also forced Hai Qiqi to do the same. They each boarded a spacecraft and confirmed their landing spot. Lu Yin looked up when the spacecraft vibrated. He had never thought that he would still end up on Planet Pyrolyte, a stage where only geniuses could compete for glory.
Hai Qiqi was excited, as she had been waiting for this moment for a long time. She would let her name spread throughout the universe, and she would definitely surpass her second brother. As for whether Lu Yin would allow her to reveal her identity, she did not care. She wanted to be famous.
Spacecraft after spacecraft were launched from the Northline Flowzone's battleships and charged towards Planet Pyrolyte. At the same time, many spacecraft from other powers also entered the planet, and new Limiteers were constantly arriving. Planet Pyrolyte was like a giant furnace that was used to temper Limiteers.
In the distance, Nightqueen Qiuyu was disdainful. No matter how many Limiteers there were, it would be useless against elite geniuses. She did not care how many people the smaller powers from Northline Flowzone sent, as they were all courting death. She then looked away.
The Sword Sect, Wen family, and other powers were all the same. They did not care how many people the smaller powers sent. Who would have thought that there was a monster hidden within this group of people?
On Planet Pyrolyte, there was a mountain range that rose up quite a distance away from Pyrolyte Mountain. It was not very tall, only about a hundred meters tall, and it did not cover a large area. However, at this moment, it had attracted over a hundred Limiteers to fight over it. This was because this mountain range contained pyrolyte ore. Although there was not much, it was still very attractive to the powers from the smaller flowzones.
The larger powers did not care for it, so only the smaller powers fought over it.
Northgate Gang, Ah Fan, and the other Limiteers from Northline Flowzone were fighting over this mountain range.
Both of them were injured, and they could not even retreat in the face of a powerful enemy. They were surrounded by enemies in front of them and behind them. There was a scream as a woman from Northline Flowzone was injured and fell to the ground. A blade that flickered with a cold glint slashed down towards her head. The woman's eyes were filled with despair as she watched the blade descend. However, just ten centimeters away from her, it was blocked by a weapon that resembled a blade. The resulting shockwave pushed the woman into the ground, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. She looked at the person who had protected her and saw that it was Ah Fan.
Ah Fan panted heavily as he viciously slashed at the man in front of him. The man sneered, and another person suddenly leapt out from behind him and slashed at Ah Fan. At the same time, two-lined battle force erupted from his body, causing the woman to panic. "Be careful!"
Ah Fan gritted his teeth and met the two head-on. He managed to block a blade, but his abdomen was still struck by the other person, causing him to fall to one knee.
Not too far away, Northgate Gang secretly cursed Ah Fan for being a busybody. He had wanted to join forces with Ah Fan to break out of the encirclement, and with their strength, they could have done so. However, Ah Fan was now heavily injured, and Northgate Gang was in trouble.
There was a chaotic battle all around them. Northgate Gang used his Phantom Discs to try and escape by himself, but he was forced back. Another group of Limiteers had joined the battle, and shockwaves from the battle were everywhere.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Personal spacecraft crashed all around the mountain range, and two of them landed directly in the middle of the mountain range. From their positions, it seemed that the battles were the most intense.
