Right now, he was worried about the Daynight clan, the Sword Sect, and other powerful organizations. They had no lack of outstanding Explorers, and once these people appeared, even Lu Yin would have to be cautious. Quantity could make up for the difference in quality, and Ling Que had almost been knocked unconscious by the Daynight clan's attacks.
"Has anyone mentioned the research progress on the method for Explorers to enter Planet Pyrolyte?" Lu Yin asked.
Northgate Gang solemnly replied, "No, but based on the Northline Flowzone's current progress, it's almost impossible. However, we don't know what methods the other great powers have, especially the Ross Empire, which is technologically advanced. They might have found an unimaginable method."
Lu Yin looked up. Even if the great powers weakened their Explorers to the Limiteer realm, he was not worried, as it would not affect him. He was invincible, and even if he was, the great powers would not be willing to sacrifice their Top 100 Rankings experts to compete for pyrolyte.
However, if Explorers could enter Planet Pyrolyte, then things would be different. The Top 100 Rankings experts would appear one after another, and the situation would change completely.
It seemed that he had to find Zhanlong Daynight as soon as possible and ask him about the Shenwu Continent before leaving. This matter had nothing to do with him, and he did not want to compete for pyrolyte.
In outer space, many powers discovered a strange phenomenon. Pyrolyte Mountain, Pyrolyte Lake, and the recently discovered Pyrolyte Plains formed an equilateral triangle.
This discovery surprised many people, but they did not delve too deeply into it as they thought it was just a coincidence.
In outer space, in the Ross Empire's warship, a dozen researchers were excitedly watching a screen. They were geologists from the Ross Empire, and the moment they had arrived on Planet Pyrolyte, they had scanned the entire planet and deduced the changes in the planet's geology over the past tens of thousands of years. They wanted to use this method to deduce the location of the pyrolyte mines. Now, after continuously supplementing the data, the results were finally about to be revealed.
Many maps of pyrolyte mines appeared on the screen, and they constantly combined and changed. The time of the calculations went from hundreds of thousands of years to tens of thousands of years, then thousands of years, and finally to the present. On the screen, a dot of light flashed.
Everyone stared at the screen.
The flashing dot of light overlapped with the current map of Planet Pyrolyte, revealing a location.
"Why is it there?" someone exclaimed.
The others stared at the map, looking at the place with the most pyrolyte ore. That place was a mountain range, and outside of the mountain range were Pyrolyte Mountain, Pyrolyte Lake, and Pyrolyte Plains.
As the light screen reassembled, a clear map of the pyrolyte ore distribution appeared. The most eye-catching part of the map was an inverted cone-shaped map with Pyrolyte Mountain, Pyrolyte Lake, and Pyrolyte Plains as the points. These cone-shaped maps contained the most pyrolyte ore and went deep into the ground.
"I understand now. Pyrolyte Mountain, Pyrolyte Lake, and Pyrolyte Plain were all formed by a gigantic pyrolyte mine. That gigantic pyrolyte mine was actually under the mountain range, and it hadn't moved at all."
"No wonder we couldn't find it. It's so close to the core of Planet Pyrolyte that our detectors couldn't detect it."
"We've finally found the location of the largest pyrolyte mine. This information has to be kept a secret. No one can leak it," shouted someone.
Suddenly, a beeping sound was heard. Everyone looked towards the corner and saw a man with an ashen face taking off his gadget. Blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth. He had committed suicide. The others were shocked and hurriedly picked up their gadgets. "It's too late. The image has already been sent. Bastard, who recruited this person?"
No one answered.
An old man suddenly appeared. "No one is allowed to leave this place." He then disappeared again.
Everyone was shocked. They recognized that old man as Scholar Newmoon, one of the Ross Empire's most knowledgeable elders. He was also one of the few almighty Enlighters. Before this, no one had known that an almighty powerhouse had arrived.
To the current Ross Empire, the most important thing was to race against time. However, the image had already been sent out, and they could not monopolize the largest pyrolyte mine. Thus, after sending a large group of Limiteers to Planet Pyrolyte, Scholar Newmoon appeared in the Blaze Realm's warship. At the same time, he sent a message to the Dire Barbarian Clan's Lei Long.
The biggest problem was that they did not know who the image had been sent to. It would be fine if it was a power from a small flowzone, but that possibility was too low. The most likely possibility was that it was a power from one of the eight great flowzones. They hoped that it was not the Sword Sect, the Wen family, or the Daynight clan. Otherwise, they would not even have the right to compete.
On Planet Pyrolyte, Lu Yin was just about to leave with Hai Qiqi when over a hundred spacecraft flew towards the mountain range.
Northgate Gang and the others were shocked. Why were there so many people trying to seize the mountain range?
Lu Yin could not leave, as Northgate Gang and the others would not be able to defend the mountain range.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Spacecraft after spacecraft crashed into the mountain range, and many of them headed straight for Northgate Gang and the others. Their actions were rather tyrannical.
Northgate Gang and the others did not hesitate and immediately attacked. Suddenly, the sound of spacecraft explosions reverberated throughout the mountain range. At the same time, Limiteers charged out and attacked Northgate Gang and the others.
Rays of light shot into the ground. These were technological weapons.
Lu Yin was shocked. These were not Limiteers, but rather modified humans who had combined cultivation and technology. Only one power could create such modified humans: the Ross Empire.
The Ross Empire wanted to seize this mountain range, and it seemed that they were determined to do so.
The various powers on Planet Pyrolyte avoided using technological weapons for fear of triggering a chain reaction from the pyrolyte mine. However, the Ross Empire had acted out of the norm and attacked with all their might. This abnormal scene caused many powers in outer space to feel strange.
The reason given by the Ross Empire was simple: the son of an important person had been killed in this mountain range, and they wanted revenge.
Although the various powers did not believe this, there was too little pyrolyte in this mountain range, and there was no value in seizing it on a large scale.
Within the Blaze Realm's spacecraft, Scholar Newmoon, Huo Houye, and the Dire Barbarian Clan's Lei Long were all watching a screen.
"You don't even know which power sent that person. If it's a power like the Sword Sect, then we won't be able to seize that mountain range even if we work together," Huo Houye said.
Scholar Newmoon was helpless. "We're already investigating. Who would have thought that the geological research department, which we've never paid much attention to, would be infiltrated?"
"There's no point in thinking about this. Newmoon, you're a scholar. Such a large-scale attack would have attracted the attention of everyone. How are we going to keep this a secret?" Lei Long complained.
Newmoon sighed. "The secret has already been leaked, so there's no point in talking about it. Everyone, the most important thing right now is to seize that mountain range or form an alliance with the strongest external aid."
Huo Houye's eyes trembled. "The strongest external aid?
What do you mean? "
"Whoever becomes an unparalleled Limiteer will be the strongest external aid," Newmoon said confidently.
An unparalleled Limiteer could seize any place on Planet Pyrolyte. There were four such people, but the strongest had not come. Newmoon's intentions were simple: Mu Rong.
"You want to form an alliance with the Sword Sect?" Lei Long asked.
Newmoon shook his head. "I'm not the one forming an alliance. The three of us will form an alliance with the Sword Sect."
Huo Houye's eyes narrowed. This old fox was indeed cunning. If the Ross Empire cooperated with the Sword Sect on their own, then they would definitely suffer a great loss. However, if they formed an alliance with the three of them, then things would be different. No matter how powerful the Sword Sect was, it would not be able to directly suppress the three of them. It was no wonder why the old fogey had come looking for them first instead of forming an alliance with the Sword Sect.
Huo Houye was even more afraid of being silenced by the Sword Sect, which was why he wanted to form an alliance with the three Enlighters.
"Although the news has already spread, it shouldn't spread too quickly. We need to seize that mountain range in the shortest time possible and then use the map and the mountain range as a condition to form an alliance with the Sword Sect. Only then will we be able to guarantee the greatest benefits," Newmoon said slowly.
Huo Houye and Lei Long did not object, as this was their only option.
Half a day later, they had thought that the mountain range would be quickly seized by the Ross Empire's cyborgs, but reality was the exact opposite of what they had expected. Those cyborgs had been crushed by a single girl.
Atop a mountain range on Planet Pyrolyte, Hai Qiqi's domain enveloped the entire mountain range. Cyborgs were defeated one after another, and their bodies fell to the ground while emitting green smoke. Her attacks were not heavy, and she did not kill them. However, her attacks were enough to render the cyborgs unable to attack again.
Northgate Gang and the others were dumbfounded. They had not expected Hai Qiqi to be so powerful, and the strength of her domain made them sigh in amazement.
Lu Yin was not surprised, as Hai Qiqi's domain was much stronger than his, and she might even have comprehended a forcefield. She could be ranked within the top three on Planet Pyrolyte, and she was only second to Mu Rong. Thus, defeating these cyborgs from the Ross Empire would not be difficult.
Hai Qiqi was very pleased with herself. She had been holding back for a few days now, and she had been itching to fight. Although these cyborgs were not very useful, they had still managed to satisfy her competitive spirit.
"What do you think? I'm amazing, right?" Hai Qiqi proudly asked Northgate Gang and the others. She even glanced at Lu Yin as she spoke.
Northgate Gang immediately praised her, but he was still met with Hai Qiqi's merciless ridicule. Her words were just as powerful as her domain.
The battle in the mountain range did not attract much attention. Although the Ross Empire's actions were unusual, most powers still focused on their own people.
Above the planet, Newmoon and the others had ugly expressions, as they had not been able to seize the mountain range. A mere Northline Flowzone's power had actually stopped the Ross Empire.
"The Blaze Realm and the Dire Barbarian Clan should make a move as well," Newmoon said calmly as he stared at Hai Qiqi. This girl was not simple.
Huo Houye frowned. "If all three sides make a move, it will definitely attract attention. It's not wise."
"The Ross Empire alone won't be able to take it. That girl is very powerful," Newmoon said.
Huo Houye stared at Hai Qiqi on the screen, and the more he looked at her, the more familiar she seemed. Suddenly, his eyes widened. "I remember now! This girl was with the youth who killed Jared."
The other two looked at him.
Huo Houye coldly asked, "Do you still remember the battle at Pyrolyte Lake? That person caught the Que's Mighty Slash with two fingers?"
That scene had been a classic, so how could the other two forget it?
"That youth killed a disciple from my Blaze Realm. This girl is with him, and that youth is in this mountain range," Huo Houye said.
Lei Long lowered his voice. "If that's the case, then the Limiteers from our three forces won't be able to take this mountain range."
"Let's confirm it first. If that youth is really in the mountain range, then we'll immediately hand over the map to the Sword Sect so that they can seize the mountain range," Newmoon said.
