Nightqueen Qiuyu was the first to appear, and she stared coldly at Hai Dashao. "Senior Sea King has never interfered in the struggle for hegemony in the Innerverse or Outerverse. Second Young Master Hai, are you going to break this tradition?"
Hai Dashao faced Nightqueen Qiuyu and spoke in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing. "Senior, you've misunderstood. The Sea King's Dome has not interfered in the struggle for supremacy of the Innerverse or Outerverse, and the Sea King's Dome will not interfere in the struggle for Planet Pyrolyte either. However, Frostwave Weave will be protected by the Sea King's Dome, as this is a promise that Father has made to his future son-in-law."
Nightqueen Qiuyu's eyes flashed with anger. "Future son-in-law?
That Lu Yin? "
"That's right," Hai Dashao replied firmly.
To the side, the Sword Sect's Elder Viletree walked out of the void and looked at Hai Dashao with a rueful expression. "How many years has it been since the Sea King's Dome interfered with the struggles of the Innerverse and Outerverse? Who would have thought that a youngster would make an exception?"
Hai Dashao raised an eyebrow. "Senior, I've already said that the Sea King's Dome will not interfere with the struggles of the Innerverse and Outerverse. We're only here to protect our future son-in-law. A mere border weave is not enough to catch your attention."
"That's easy for you to say. That brat has now stolen the largest pyrolyte mine on Planet Pyrolyte, and he's affected the fundamental interests of the various powers. If your Sea King's Dome doesn't interfere, then immediately retreat and take that brat with you. No one will make things difficult for him," Lei Long from the Dire Barbarian Clan said in an unfriendly tone.
Right after that, the Blaze Realm's Huo Houye, the Ross Empire's Scholar Newmoon, Karthika, and other Enlighters appeared one after another. They all stared at Hai Dashao with unfriendly gazes, vaguely surrounding him in an attempt to coerce him.
Pyrolyte ore was too important to the various great powers. Even if they were up against the Sea King's Dome, they would not give in.
It was rumored that the Sea King's Dome transcended worldly affairs, and that the Sea King's strength had reached the level of an Envoy with a power level of at least 500,000. However, no one had been able to verify this for many years. Gradually, the various great powers no longer feared the Sea King's Dome too much.
Only the Daynight clan, the Sword Sect, and the Wen family, who possessed extraordinary backgrounds, did not force Hai Dashao. They had never forgotten how terrifying the Sea King was. Otherwise, the Starfall Sea would not have become the Sea King's backyard.
Hai Dashao looked around at the crowd, and his lips curled up. "Seniors, are you dissatisfied with the Sea King's Dome?"
Nightqueen Qiuyu, Viletree, and Wen Qichen exchanged glances, but they did not speak.
Lei Long stepped forward and glared at Hai Dashao. "Junior, you don't have the right to talk to us. Get your seniors to come out."
Hai Dashao looked up at the sky. "How many years has it been? Has the Sea King's Dome been forgotten?
It seems that Imperial Father should come out for a walk. "
His words caused Nightqueen Qiuyu and the others to tremble. The Sea King is coming out?
That would not be a simple matter, and it was possible that the clan's powerhouse, who was overseeing the destiny, would show himself. That would be a storm that would sweep through the Innerverse and Outerverse.
Suddenly, Nightqueen Qiuyu and the rest felt their hearts sink as an indescribable pressure swept over them like an invisible storm. Everyone felt as if they had been grabbed by an invisible hand, and they found it difficult to breathe.
Viletree's pupils shrank. They were all Enlighters, so anyone who could give them such a feeling was definitely an old freak who had yet to show himself. After thinking about it, he immediately asked, "I wonder which senior from the Sea King's Dome has arrived? Please show yourself."
Lei Long and the others turned pale. Did this pressure come from the Sea King's Dome?
Hai Dashao smiled as he looked at Lei Long, Huo Houye, and the others. Beside him, an old figure slowly appeared. The old man's back was stooped, and he was only about a meter tall. His appearance was ordinary, and he was dressed casually. He looked like an old man from next door, and his cloudy eyes seemed to be unable to see anything clearly.
However, when this old man appeared, Viletree and Nightqueen Qiuyu's expressions changed. They had roamed the Starfall Sea when they were young and had visited the Sea King's Dome. They had seen this old man before, and he was Elder Ren, one of the four great elders of the Sea King's Dome. He was an old freak with a power level in the hundreds of thousands.
No one had expected that an old freak with a power level in the hundreds of thousands would suddenly appear on Planet Pyrolyte, and he was even from the Sea King's Dome.
Lei Long felt fear from the bottom of his heart when Elder Ren looked at him. He felt as if he could be killed at any moment.
Karthika did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Huo Houye, Scholar Newmoon, and the others did not dare to move, and they all stared at Elder Ren in shock.
Soon after, Enlighters appeared one after another. These Enlighters all came from smaller organizations, and they had not held much hope in competing for the mountain range. Thus, they had not shown themselves to pressure Hai Dashao. However, now that Elder Ren had appeared, all of the Enlighters showed up, including Granny Chan, in order to show their respect.
If someone uploaded this scene to the network, it would definitely shock countless people. It was rare for even one Enlighter to appear in the Outerverse's various weaves, but here, more than ten of them had appeared at once, which caused even the heavens to tremble.
Elder Ren looked around and slowly said, "It's been a long time since I've been out and about. I've almost forgotten what the Astral Wilderness is like. How nostalgic."
The Sword Sect's Viletree stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "This junior greets Elder Ren. Does Elder Ren still remember this junior?"
Elder Ren looked at Viletree with his weathered eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his face. "So it's you, kid. You've grown old as well."
Viletree respectfully replied, "I didn't expect Elder Ren to still remember this junior."
Elder Ren smiled. "You're a genius from the Sword Sect. Of course I remember you." He then looked at Nightqueen Qiuyu with a flash of astonishment. "Young lady, you're here as well."
Nightqueen Qiuyu stepped forward and bowed. "Greetings, Elder Ren."
Elder Ren nodded, but then he suddenly thought of something. "Where's that kid?"
Nightqueen Qiuyu's body trembled, and a bitter look appeared in her eyes. "He's not here."
Elder Ren sighed and looked at Nightqueen Qiuyu. "In the end, we still separated. This is fate, and you can't blame anyone else."
Nightqueen Qiuyu closed her eyes to hide the pain in her eyes.
When Northline Flowzone's old monster, Northgate Taisui, whose power level was in the hundreds of thousands, had appeared, the various great powers had not been too alarmed. The main reason was that Northline Flowzone was too weak. Even if Northgate Taisui's power level surpassed Elder Ren's, his status in the universe was still low. This was the power of the Sea King's Dome. Even the Daynight clan and the Sword Sect had no choice but to lower their heads.
Hai Dashao spoke up and pointed at Lei Long. "Elder, that person said that our Sea King's Dome is not qualified to manage Frostwave Weave."
Lei Long's expression changed when he heard this. "Hai Dashao, don't spout nonsense. I never said that."
Elder Ren looked at Lei Long, and his turbid eyes suddenly changed. Lei Long felt as if the heavens had become unfamiliar, and his power had completely escaped his control. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale.
Everyone was shocked, as this was too terrifying. Lei Long was an Enlighter with a power level in the hundreds of thousands, but he had not been able to retaliate at all.
Elder Ren did not attack a second time. "Out of respect for your clan's elders, I'll let you off this time."
Lei Long lowered his head with a venomous look in his eyes, but he did not dare to speak again.
Those who could cultivate to the Enlighter realm were geniuses among geniuses, and those who could cultivate to power levels of 300,000 to 400,000 were even more geniuses. Furthermore, Elder Ren was from the Sea King's Dome, and even someone at the same level as him would find it difficult to defeat him, let alone Lei Long, who was much weaker than Elder Ren. Challenging a Realmbreaker was not too difficult for a powerhouse from the Sea King's Dome.
The surrounding Enlighters subconsciously distanced themselves from Hai Dashao, not daring to approach him.
Wen Qichen stepped forward and bowed to Elder Ren. "Junior Wen Qichen from the Wen family greets Elder Ren."
Elder Ren looked at Wen Qichen and nodded with a smile. "The Wen family is a reasonable family, and they're all scholars. I like to talk to scholars."
Wen Qichen smiled bitterly and bowed to Elder Ren again. "Senior, may I ask if what Second Young Master Hai said is true?
Does the Sea King's Dome want to protect Frostwave Weave and Lu Yin? "
Elder Ren shook his head. "No."
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Hai Dashao was stunned, and he looked at Elder Ren strangely.
Elder Ren slowly explained, "The Sea King's Dome is not protecting Frostwave Weave and Lu Yin. Rather, it's protecting the future son-in-law of the Sea King's Dome and his hometown."
Nonsense, that's not the same!
Everyone cursed inwardly, but no one dared to say it out loud.
Wen Qichen smiled bitterly. "Junior understands. The Wen family will not act against Lu Yin or his friends. In the battle on Planet Pyrolyte, the strong will win, and the defeated will retreat."
Elder Ren nodded and looked at Wen Qichen approvingly. "Kid, you're very sensible. Not bad, not bad. You're worthy of being a scholar."
Wen Qichen was speechless. Elder Ren was scolding him, and no matter how he looked at it, it sounded like he was being scolded. However, the praise on Elder Ren's face was very strange, and Wen Qichen did not know if the old man was praising him or scolding him.
Everyone understood that the Sea King's Dome wanted to protect Lu Yin, and they could not threaten that youth. It was no wonder why the elder had dared to act so recklessly.
In the battle on Planet Pyrolyte, Limiteers had no chance.
Lu Yin was like a mountain that no Limiteer in the universe could cross. The only way to do so was to become an Explorer.
After Wen Qichen, Nightqueen Qiuyu, Viletree, and the other Enlighters left, the other Enlighters left one after another.
Lei Long's expression was vicious, and when he returned to his spacecraft, he immediately ordered his subordinates to speed up the search for a way for Explorers to enter Planet Pyrolyte. He even wanted to find a way for Cruisers to enter. As long as Cruisers could enter, Planet Pyrolyte would belong to the Dire Barbarian Clan because Avery was here.
It wasn't just the Dire Barbarian Clan; all of the other powers focused their attention on finding a way for Explorers to enter Planet Pyrolyte. All of the Limiteers on Planet Pyrolyte had retreated from the mountain range. Only one person remained: Zhanlong Daynight, who had been captured by Lu Yin.
Karthika's disappearance made Lu Yin realize that all threats no longer existed, and the Sea King's Dome would shoulder the burden.
However, he was not happy, as this meant that from now on, Frostwave Weave would belong to the Sea King's Dome, and as long as he did not withdraw, he would also belong to the Sea King's Dome. He was not naive enough to believe that the Sea King was protecting him out of kindness.
However, that was a matter for the future. Right now, he wanted to know what had happened to Shenwu Continent and why Zhanlong Daynight had been able to leave.
Zhanlong Daynight had been severely injured by Lu Yin's attack, but with his freakish recovery abilities, he woke up in less than half an hour. The injuries on his body had even healed considerably, which made Hai Qiqi rather curious.
Zhanlong Daynight crawled up with great difficulty and looked at Lu Yin before spitting out a mouthful of blood. "Long time no see."
Lu Yin looked at Zhanlong Daynight. "You know why I kept you here."
Zhanlong Daynight grinned. "Do you think I'll tell you?"
A cold glint flashed through Lu Yin's eyes. "You can choose not to tell me, but I can also choose to kill you."
