Lu Yin felt melancholy, and his thoughts were complicated. He did not wish for Zhuo Daynight to die, and he had come here for her.
"Hey, look! There are so many meteors!" Hai Qiqi shouted as she pointed at the sky.
Lu Yin looked up and saw that they were not meteors, but rather spacecraft. There were actually over a hundred of them, and they were all heading in the same direction. There were only two reasons for this: either they were from the same organization, or they had discovered something incredible and had sent more people to that area in order to seize it.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "Let's go."
Hai Qiqi grunted and followed Lu Yin in the same direction.
The spacecraft seemed to have landed not too far away, but it was actually quite far away. It was even further than the distance between Northline Flowzone's mountain range and Pyrolyte Mountain.
Lu Yin and Hai Qiqi flew over with star essence in hand, recovering their star energy as they flew.
Only a few people could use star essence to recover their star energy. Most of them used star crystals, including Northgate Gang and the others.
From this, Lu Yin knew that he was not on the same level as them.
Lu Yin and Hai Qiqi weren't the only Limiteers they encountered along the way. The smaller ones were in groups of three to five, while the larger ones were in groups of dozens. All of them were heading in the same direction, which made Lu Yin certain that they had discovered something incredible.
There was another discovery that Lu Yin did not know whether to feel sad or sympathetic; some Limiteers were being used as mounts.
There was no star energy on Planet Pyrolyte, and flying at high speeds required star energy consumption. For some people, constantly absorbing star crystals to replenish their energy consumption was a huge expense, which was why human mounts had appeared. As the name implied, a person would be used as a mount, and they would ride on that person's back and let that person fly.
At this moment, Lu Yin saw a group of human mounts.
Hai Qiqi looked on in shock, as this was the first time she had encountered such a situation, and she could not understand it. To those who were being used as mounts, this was a great humiliation. Furthermore, they were being watched by various organizations in outer space. If it were her, she would rather die than become someone's mount, but now, she saw a group of such people.
"Why is this happening?
Even if it's to preserve their lives, these people might still be wiped out by their respective organizations after they leave Planet Pyrolyte. "Hai Qiqi was puzzled as she looked at the group of human mounts and the Limiteers sitting on some of them.
"They'll definitely die, but at the very least, they'll be able to live for a bit longer. That extra time might bring them a chance of survival."
Hai Qiqi turned to look at him. "But do they not care about their dignity?"
Lu Yin smiled. "I've said it before. You were born into a noble family, and you'll never understand how terrifying it is to be at the bottom of society. Death is very distant to you, and you only treat it as a word. It's very difficult for you to treat it as a necessary part of your life because your father is protecting you. But if you break away from your status, then you'll be able to experience the despair and sorrow that death brings."
Hai Qiqi frowned. This was the first time that she had seen Lu Yin destroy a spacecraft, and the deaths of so many people had impacted her greatly. However, she was still an adult, so she could accept it and quickly recovered from it. However, this person's mount was something that she could not understand. Between dignity and life, which was more important?
Lu Yin and Hai Qiqi flew past the mounts, and Hai Qiqi purposely glanced at them. She saw the expressions of the people who had been used as mounts, and their hearts were ashen. However, there was still a trace of unwillingness and anticipation in their eyes. They knew that they were going to die, but they still held onto hope for the future. These people had chosen life and abandoned their dignity.
Hai Qiqi did not know if these people had made the right choice, but she had no right to judge them because their lives were not hers.
She turned around and took a deep breath, intending to forget those gazes. Suddenly, scorching flames swept through the sky, forming a wall of flames that blocked Lu Yin and Hai Qiqi's path.
The two of them stopped and looked in the direction of the mounts, where the flames were coming from.
The mounts surrounded Lu Yin and Hai Qiqi, and in the middle, one of them flew out. On its back was an old acquaintance of Lu Yin's, Jared.
"You can either become someone's mount or die. Choose one," Jared said in a low voice as he stared at Lu Yin and Hai Qiqi. The two of them did not fly very quickly, so they were treated as soft persimmons.
Hai Qiqi was stunned. These people wanted her to become someone's mount?
"How audacious," Hai Qiqi subconsciously blurted out.
Jared raised a brow. "You're courting death."
Lu Yin frowned. He had noticed Jared earlier, but he had ignored him as he did not want to complicate matters. He had not expected this person to take a fancy to them, so there was no need to be courteous. He did not waste any time and raised his hand, aiming his palm at Jared. "Spacerender Palm." The air trembled as a transparent shockwave swept forward.
Jared's eyes widened as he felt the pressure. Not good, this is an absolute expert! He tried to dodge without thinking, but he was still a step too late. His right shoulder was swept by the shockwave and shattered. The human mount beneath him was crushed to the ground by the shockwave, and it was doomed.
Lu Yin did not pity him. This was how the universe worked, and sympathy could not be exchanged for a person's dignity. Lu Yin would just let him end this quickly!
The people from the Blaze Realm all attacked Lu Yin at the same time. Jared shouted, "Stop!" The Spacerender Palm had clearly shown him the difference between him and this person. This person was definitely a top-tier Limiteer, and he was at least at the Astral Combat Academy's Realm Master level. He was not someone they could match up to.
Lu Yin grabbed Hai Qiqi and swept past the cultivators from the Blaze Realm to appear in front of Jared. Jared's eyes narrowed. "It's a misunderstanding. We'll leave now."
However, Lu Yin did not plan on letting him go. He had wanted to deal with this person back in the centipede's body, but things had changed. Now, he would not let him go. This person was not the Blaze Realm's only successor, and he was not qualified to be killed. There was no burden in killing him, and it did not matter if the Blaze Realm knew that he was the culprit. As long as it was not a terrifying clan like the Daynight clan, Lu Yin did not care. Hai Dashao's reputation was enough to make the Blaze Realm apprehensive.
There was a thump as Jared spat out a mouthful of blood. He did not even have time to use a battle technique before his organs were shattered. He could not believe it; how could the difference between them be so great?
Lu Yin moved closer to Jared. "Go in peace."
Jared's expression changed; this voice belonged to Lu Yin. His fingers trembled; no wonder the difference between them was so great. He had met the strongest Limiteer, but unfortunately, he could not make a sound. His vitality quickly faded away as his body fell to the ground.
Everyone from the Blaze Realm was stunned. Jared, the strongest of them all, had not even been able to retaliate. Who was this person?
Jared's power was only above average among Limiteers, and there were many who surpassed him. There were also many who could instantly kill him, so Lu Yin was not worried about exposing his identity.
At this moment, no one dared to stop Lu Yin. He was just about to leave with Hai Qiqi when he felt his heart palpitate. He lowered his head and looked at Jared's corpse, which had been incinerated by an unknown flame. The Karmic Flame Sword … Lu Yin suddenly recalled this battle technique. Jared's body contained karmic flames.
There was a whoosh as the ferocious flames tore through the sky and burned the ground. Jared's corpse completely disappeared as the karmic flames burned the ground.
Lu Yin felt that it was a pity. If he had known earlier, he would have thought of a way to remove the karmic flames from Jared's body. What a waste.
Hai Qiqi was shocked. "What a powerful flame. How could this person have such a powerful flame?"
Lu Yin did not explain and simply left with Hai Qiqi.
Around them, the cultivators from the Blaze Realm were confused, as they did not know where to go.
In outer space, within the Blaze Realm's spacecraft, Huo Houye was enraged. The Blaze Realm's strength was already weak on Planet Pyrolyte, and now, even Jared had died. It did not matter if Jared died, but the Blaze Realm had lost a strand of their karmic flames. This was what angered Huo Houye the most, as the Blaze Realm did not have much karmic flames to begin with.
"Is she not here yet?" Huo Houye barked.
A disciple from the Blaze Realm trembled. "She's almost here. She's already arrived in the Outerverse."
Huo Houye's eyes narrowed. "It's time to reveal my identity. My Blaze Realm is not without outstanding disciples."
Spacecraft occasionally landed in the distance, and when Lu Yin and Hai Qiqi arrived, they could faintly smell the stench of blood in the air. They could also hear the sounds of fighting.
Those who were qualified to compete on Planet Pyrolyte were the elites of the Limiteers. Even the weakest of them were considered experts in the various powers of the smaller flowzones. There were not many people, but the fact that this area had become a battlefield showed how many Limiteers had been attracted.
This place was not a mountain range, but rather a rare red lake on Planet Pyrolyte.
Hai Qiqi's eyes widened, and she looked at the lake in surprise.
There were at least a thousand Limiteers fighting both inside and outside the lake. There were battles in the sky and on the ground, and the area of effect was very wide.
Lu Yin casually grabbed one of the Limiteers and interrogated him about the situation in this area.
"This lake is called Pyrolyte Lake, and there's a lot of pyrolyte ore at the bottom of the lake," the Limiteer said in a trembling voice as he looked at Lu Yin in horror. This person had lifted him up like a little chick, and his strength was too terrifying.
"More than Pyrolyte Mountain?" Lu Yin asked.
The Limiteer shook his head. "I don't know. I haven't investigated it in detail, but there shouldn't be a small amount. Even if it can't compare to Pyrolyte Mountain, it shouldn't be too far off."
Lu Yin released his grip and allowed the Limiteer to leave. He then scanned the entire Pyrolyte Lake and expanded his domain. He wanted to find Zhuo Daynight.
Most of the people fighting here were from the smaller flowzones. Even if there were some from the Eight Great Flowzones, they were not very strong. There were very few geniuses who had comprehended a domain, but that did not mean that they did not exist.
When Lu Yin's domain extended outwards, it was met with resistance, and it was even attacked.
Lu Yin frowned and looked a thousand meters to his right. There, a woman was staring at him provocatively. She had comprehended a domain, and when she sensed that Lu Yin's domain was expanding, she immediately attacked him. She even tried to use her domain to suppress Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was just about to attack when Hai Qiqi pursed her lips and caused layers of ripples to appear in the air. The ripples then spread out and covered almost half of Pyrolyte Lake. Not only did she suppress Lu Yin's domain, but she also suppressed the other geniuses who had comprehended a domain.
Above Pyrolyte Lake, a few people looked up in shock. Who could have such a powerful domain?
Lu Yin also looked at Hai Qiqi in shock. This girl's domain was very powerful. Although it could not compare to Liu Shaoqiu's, it should not be any weaker than Liu Shaoqiu's when he did not display his forcefield. This girl couldn't have comprehended a forcefield, could she?
The woman who had provoked Lu Yin was frightened and hurriedly ran away. With such a powerful domain, one could only imagine her strength.
Hai Qiqi proudly raised her head and glanced at Lu Yin, as if she was waiting for praise.
