Lei Long spoke up. "This person's consumption of star essence skin is huge, far surpassing Kayze's. He should be able to rival the top thirty of the Top 100 Rankings."
Scholar Newmoon replied, "Not only that, but his technique is definitely not ordinary. His power level might only be comparable to the top thirty, but once someone is caught off guard and gains the initiative, even that expert from the Nightking clan won't be his match."
Lei Long and Huo Houye were astonished. "What technique is that?"
"The Dreaming Heart Sutra," Scholar Newmoon calmly said.
Huo Houye and Lei Long were confused, as they had never heard of such a technique before.
Scholar Newmoon did not explain any further, and he just stared at the screen. He had only read about it in the ancient letter, but he was not very sure. If it really was that technique, then Sleeping Prince's power was not as simple as it seemed. But even if it was not that technique, this person's true power was enough to rival the top thirty of the Top 100 Rankings. Why had he always remained at the 100th position?
Was it really as he had said, that he liked the number 100?
On Planet Pyrolyte, Long Yun saw that Nightking Gu had left, so he left as well. He could not even defeat Wendy Yushan by himself.
Lu Yin put away his gun and let out a tired breath. The most difficult hurdle had passed, and even stronger experts would be sent over. Based on the time it took to create the star essence skin, it would take at least half a month. By then, more than half of the pyrolyte ore in the mountain range would have been mined.
Lu Yin looked towards the south. He had been worried that Mira would take advantage of this opportunity to attack, but she had held back.
Lu Yin put away his universal armor and was about to return to the mountain range when he suddenly felt sleepy. Very sleepy. Was he tired?
His eyelids grew heavier, and his body swayed a few times. He was about to fall asleep. Something was wrong. Suddenly, Lu Yin felt his scalp go numb. He saw an enormous amount of rune lines converging towards his left.
He turned around and saw Sleeping Prince. At that moment, Sleeping Prince opened his eyes and lazily looked at Lu Yin with a smile. In the void, an invisible attack transformed into an indescribable killing intent that enveloped Lu Yin. This killing intent was very similar to Jieyu's. Lu Yin wanted to use the Secret Sidestep to avoid it, but he was too tired. His body could not keep up with his thoughts, and even moving was difficult. He was so tired that he wanted to sleep.
The sky seemed to darken, and even though Lu Yin could not see any killing intent, he could still see countless rune lines approaching him. This killing intent's power was enough to bury him, as this was Sleeping Prince's attack.
At this moment, no one could save Lu Yin, as no one had expected that Sleeping Prince would suddenly attack. Furthermore, Lu Yin did not even have the strength to resist, and he could not even put on his universal armor once again.
The countless rune lines grew closer and closer, and just as they were about to descend, Lu Yin completely gave up. He heard Wendy Yushan's voice in his ear, "Yu Secret Art: Void Transfer."
In the distance, the ground was covered by an invisible attack. It didn't seem to have any destructive power, but all living creatures underground died instantly.
However, Lu Yin was completely unscathed.
Sleeping Prince's expression changed, and he turned to look to the west. There, he saw Wendy Yushan staring at him with an icy gaze. He seemed to have heard an incredible attack. Yu Secret Art?
Turning the void?
'Is that a secret technique?'
Sleeping Prince wasn't the only one who was shocked. In outer space, Elder Ren stared at Wendy Yushan in shock. "That's a secret technique! She used a secret technique!"
Hai Dashao was shocked. "Secret technique?
How could she have a secret technique? "
Nightqueen Qiuyu was shocked once again. She had already been shocked many times today, but none of the previous times added together could compare to this. She had personally seen Sleeping Prince's attack being diverted in another direction, which could only be accomplished by a secret technique.
Elder Viletree, Wen Qichen, Lei Long, Scholar Newmoon, Huo Houye, and the rest of the Enlighters appeared in outer space and looked at Wendy Yushan with grave expressions. Secret techniques were much more precious than Fatesand, as they were on a completely different level. Fatesand could be obtained through luck, but secret techniques were different.
All secret techniques had been created by Progenitors, and they were all passed down to only one person. Even so, most of them had been lost because secret techniques were too difficult to cultivate. Even among the various great powers of the Innerverse, there were very few who possessed secret techniques, and it could even be said that they did not even exist. This was because none of the great powers had ever revealed their secret techniques. But now, they had actually seen a secret technique being used by an Outerverse girl, and this girl was related to a Progenitor.
The various Enlighters' expressions changed, as the appearance of a secret technique made pyrolyte unimportant. They were all thinking about how to obtain this girl.
The Myriad Swords Peak had also sent someone, but they did not send an Enlighter. At this moment, that Myriad Swords Peak expert immediately headed to Northcastle Weave to contact his sect through the network. His sect's senior sister actually possessed a secret technique, which was too shocking. They had to invite a super powerhouse from their sect.
However, the Myriad Swords Peak's people were unable to leave the Astral Wilderness, as they had been intercepted. The various great powers would not let Wendy Yushan off, and they would not allow the Myriad Swords Peak to interfere.
On Planet Pyrolyte, Lu Yin's heart sank. He was glad that he had not died, but he also sighed that his secret technique had been exposed.
Sleeping Prince stared at Wendy Yushan. "Was that a secret technique?"
Wendy Yushan raised her sword and did not speak any nonsense. She slashed out, and the sword qi swept towards Sleeping Prince. Sleeping Prince casually waved his hand, and a formless shockwave swept out. However, it was unable to block the sword qi, and it still managed to scratch his arm. His shockwave swept past Wendy Yushan, causing her body to sway, and she almost fell asleep. This power was too strange.
Sleeping Prince looked at the wound on his arm, and his expression turned solemn. He stood in place, and his body released a strange power that could cause others to fall asleep.
Lu Yin saw it. He could not see that power, but he could see that the number of rune lines was increasing. He could not help but say, "Stop him."
Wendy Yushan suddenly appeared in front of Sleeping Prince, and her left hand swept out. "Yu Secret Art, Void Transfer." At the same time, she stabbed out with her sword, and the power that Sleeping Prince had released was forcefully diverted elsewhere. His shoulder was pierced by Wendy Yushan's sword, and blood splattered everywhere.
Sleeping Prince's face was pale, and he stared at Wendy Yushan. "As expected of a secret technique. Even my power can be forcefully diverted. I admit defeat, but it's a pity that you've become everyone's target." He then retreated and leapt into outer space.
Wendy Yushan lowered her sword, which was still dripping with blood. This sword had been stained with the blood of quite a few experts today.
Sleeping Prince left, and Lu Yin regained his vitality. He walked behind Wendy Yushan.
Wendy Yushan looked up. "A secret technique. It's very powerful, isn't it?"
Lu Yin nodded. "As expected of a secret technique. With it, you can challenge the top fifteen experts on the Top 100 Rankings."
Wendy Yushan put her sword away. "Yes, that's why it's so valuable. Lu Yin, do you think that we can escape safely?"
Lu Yin knew what she meant. After exposing her secret technique, she had become the target of all the powers.
"Let's try," Lu Yin said solemnly. At this moment, many powerhouses were watching them, and there were at least ten Enlighters. Escape?
He did not know if the Sea King's Dome would help, but if not, he would have to ask Mister Mu for help.
"Do you regret it?" Lu Yin could not help but ask.
Wendy Yushan shook her head. "You're my only family. I don't regret saving you."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely send you away safely," Lu Yin assured her.
Wendy Yushan looked at Lu Yin and nodded, but she did not say anything else.
In outer space, the various Enlighters looked at each other and did not speak. However, they were getting closer and closer to Planet Pyrolyte, and they were all thinking of ways to capture Wendy Yushan.
At this moment, Elder Ren appeared, and his terrifying power level of several hundred thousand caused the various Enlighters to tremble.
"Everyone, the Sea King's Dome has promised to protect Frostwave Weave, and this woman belongs to Frostwave Weave. I hope that everyone can give the Sea King's Dome some face and not touch her," Elder Ren said as he swept his gaze across all the Enlighters.
Nightqueen Qiuyu was the first to retreat, followed by Elder Viletree, Wen Qichen, and the rest. After that, all of the Enlighters retreated without a single word.
Hai Dashao's heart sank when he saw this scene. "They won't give up. They'll definitely ask the powerhouses from their sects to help."
Elder Ren nodded. "Yes, but it won't be that easy." A ripple spread out from beneath his feet, further and further away until it completely sealed off the area around Planet Pyrolyte.
He would not allow the powerhouses from the various great powers to leave, at least not for now.
The Enlighters from the various great powers did not show up, and it was pointless to say anything now. They had to think of a way to leave and report back to the powers behind them. Wendy Yushan's value had already exceeded the value of pyrolyte. Elder Ren could obstruct them for now, but once the pyrolyte ore was completely extracted, he would no longer be able to stop them. At that time, whether or not they could obtain Wendy Yushan would depend on the strength of the various great powers' powerhouses.
Wendy Yushan revealed a secret technique while Lu Yin revealed a strength that could heavily injure Nightking Gu and force Long Yun to retreat. The two of them worked together, and with Avery being held back by Hai Dashao, the competition for pyrolyte ore came to an end. No one could take the mountain range away from them.
Many of the smaller powers had already finished their exploration of Planet Pyrolyte and wanted to leave, but they were still trapped by Elder Ren.
A month later, the pyrolyte ore in the mountain range was completely extracted. Only then did the various great powers relax and look at Elder Ren.
Elder Ren had clearly stated that they would have to wait until Northline Flowzone finished refining the pyrolyte ore before removing the seal on Planet Pyrolyte. Until then, Lu Yin, Wendy Yushan, and Hai Qiqi could leave first.
This was to protect Lu Yin and the others and prevent them from being ambushed by powerhouses on their way back. However, this protection would only last for a while.
Lu Yin's expression turned solemn as he looked at his cosmic ring. Everyone looked around, and even the Sea King's Dome could not protect Wendy Yushan. They could only ask for Mister Mu's help, but not here. Mister Mu had become a legend on Zenyu Star, and the various great powers feared him.
Right now, the most important thing was to return to Zenyu Star.
Now that the pyrolyte ore had been completely extracted, the star essence skins no longer had any value. The powerhouses of the various great powers could then attack Planet Pyrolyte and disperse the gas from the planet, exposing the entire planet to outer space and greatly changing its environment.
Planet Pyrolyte had begun to collapse.
Lu Yin took out his collapsible spacecraft, which could fit three people at a time.
The ground beneath his feet cracked open, and the Limiteers who had been fighting on Planet Pyrolyte either entered their spacecraft or donned their universal armor. They were no longer protected by Planet Pyrolyte's atmosphere, and their entire bodies were exposed to outer space.
