He still had two more chances, and he would roll either four pips or three pips. Otherwise, he would have to wait for a while.
However, things did not go according to his wishes. Both times, he rolled a pip, and the first time, he obtained a weapon with a decent design. The second time, he obtained a pair of pants, which made him so angry that he burned them.
He had already rolled four times, but his luck was too bad. He could only wait for ten days and hope that nothing would happen during that time.
In the Astral Wilderness, a flaming warship headed towards Frostwave Weave with cultivators from the Blaze Realm onboard.
The Blaze Realm had only managed to obtain a limited amount of pyrolyte during this contest for pyrolyte, and the most fundamental reason for this was that Lu Yin had killed Jared, which had caused the Blaze Realm's late stage experts to be unable to keep up. Furthermore, the person who was supposed to be there did not show up, which infuriated Huo Houye.
That person had only arrived after the contest on Planet Pyrolyte had ended.
Lilyrose was that person. She was beautiful and ruthless, and more importantly, she was ranked thirty-first on the Top 100 Rankings. Unfortunately, Lu Yin and the others had already left by the time she arrived at Planet Pyrolyte.
At this moment, Lilyrose was lazily leaning against the wall of the warship, revealing her long, snow-white legs as she stared into space. "The weather has changed, and I can't go back to the Innerverse. I wonder if there are any interesting people in the Outerverse." She then thought of Huo Houye and smiled. "Wendy Yushan will probably disappear from the Top 100 Rankings soon, and I'll be able to enter the top thirty. Unfortunately, Lu Yin is an interesting man.
"Senior Sister?"
A surprised voice rang out, and Lilyrose turned around to see a fair-skinned youth with a strange look in his eyes.
"Senior Sister, it's me! Do you remember me?
You were the one who brought me to the Blaze Realm when I was young. "The youth happily ran over to Lilyrose and looked at her fervently.
Lilyrose blinked and licked her lips, revealing a seductive expression. "Is that so?"
The youth's heartbeat quickened, and he gulped. "There were a thousand of us back then, so it's normal that you don't remember. Senior Sister, where have you been all these years?
There has been no trace of you in the Blaze Realm. "
Lilyrose smiled and raised a finger, and under the youth's shocked gaze, she lifted his chin and slowly approached him. "Junior Brother, I'm very tired. Can you let me lean on you for a while?"
The young man's eyes glazed over, and he swallowed again. His eyes unconsciously swept over Lilyrose's body. Her exquisite curvy figure released a tempting fragrance, and her bright red dress was extremely beautiful, making the young man speechless.
With a faint smile, Lilyrose's lips moved closer.
The young man only felt warmth and was wrapped in indescribable beauty. His hands unconsciously wrapped around Lilyrose's slender waist.
…
At the border of Frostwave Weave, a fleet was patrolling. Everything seemed normal at first, but in the next instant, endless flames spread out and burned the entire fleet to ashes.
A figure flitted across the void and stared ahead with a fierce gaze.
On Zenyu Star, Lu Yin felt a headache coming on as he looked at the pile of memorials in front of him. He had no idea how Undying Yushan had dealt with all of this in the past. The Great Yu Empire was huge, and it spanned thirteen filaments. Countless incidents had occurred, and now, more than half of Frostwave Weave had been affected.
Lu Yin had already handed over most of the memorials to the others, but there were still a lot left for him.
He couldn't find Wendy Yushan, which was a result of her experience. She must have known that he would face such a situation and left him behind while she ran off.
Lu Yin sighed and opened one of the memorials. It required Lu Yin's approval on whether or not he needed to use military force to suppress the rebels on a certain planet. Lu Yin could do so without further ado. The next one was for him to approve reinforcements to a certain filament, which gave him a headache.
He really couldn't take it anymore. If he was trapped in a pile of memorials, he wouldn't be able to do anything. No, he had to find someone to deal with this.
However, most of the Great Yu Empire's courtiers were still the same batch as Undying Yushan's, and aside from a few people, the rest of them were disgusting to Lu Yin. Lu Yin could not accept their ugly behavior when they faced Karthika.
"It's time for a test to pick out talented people to handle government affairs," Lu Yin muttered to himself before burying himself in the pile of memorials once more.
Suddenly, his gadget beeped. Lu Yin looked at it, and his expression changed. He immediately contacted Ban Jiu to activate Zenyu Star's defenses.
Lu Yin leaped into the sky, followed by Huo Qingshan, Peach, Rocky Auna, and the rest. They all looked at the sky with solemn expressions. They had all received reports that all of the fleets along the line from Northcastle Weave to Frostwave Weave had been annihilated and devoured by a sea of flames. That line was headed straight for Zenyu Star.
The situation that they had been most worried about had finally occurred. A powerhouse had attacked Frostwave Weave, and it had already caused great losses.
It was unrealistic to try to evacuate the people on Zenyu Star at this time. If the other party was an Enlighter, they would be able to move very quickly.
Lu Yin's expression darkened, and he rubbed his cosmic ring. It seemed that he still couldn't avoid it. The powerhouse who had attacked this time was very likely an Enlighter. The flames were most likely from the Blaze Realm's Enlighter, Huo Houye.
Wendy Yushan appeared and looked at Lu Yin solemnly.
Next, Ban Jiu appeared, and an invisible energy barrier appeared around Zenyu Star. Even the three ring continents were enveloped by this energy barrier. This was Zenyu Star's strongest defense, and it had been created by Undying Yushan when he was still in power. It was said that it could even block a peak Hunter's attack.
"Along the way, we've detected the power level feedback. The enemy isn't far from Zenyu Star," Ban Jiu said solemnly.
The entire Zenyu Star entered a state of combat readiness.
A few hours later, the energy barrier around Zenyu Star turned bright red, and an incomparably terrifying pressure spread out and roasted the entire planet.
The people on Zenyu Star trembled in fear as the temperature of the atmosphere rose, and even the oceans began to evaporate.
Huo Houye stood in outer space and looked down. He raised a hand, and a giant palm of flames pressed down. With a boom, the three ring continents began to crumble, and the energy barrier shattered.
Lu Yin donned his universal armor and took out his Money Bomb, aiming it at Huo Houye. At the same time, Huo Qingshan, the Blind Monk, and the rest acted at the same time, sending countless attacks towards Huo Houye.
Huo Houye sneered. "I'll show you what it means to be an Enlighter." He then swept his hand through the void, causing layers of ripples to appear. Suddenly, the void split open, and all of the attacks were sucked into the void and disappeared.
Although the sky had changed, an Enlighter could still tear through the void. This was the power of an almighty being.
At that moment, all of the devices on Zenyu Star that were used to measure power level exploded. Huo Houye had displayed an unparalleled strength.
The Great Yu Empire had never provoked an Enlighter before. Even Liuying Zishan, Peach, and the others had never encountered such a terrifying power. The pressure that this power brought about made them lose the courage to resist.
Lu Yin's Money Bomb attack was also useless against Huo Houye.
Huo Houye stepped forward and appeared in front of Lu Yin and the rest. He waved his hand, causing flames to burn the void. The two Hunters, Huo Qingshan and the Blind Monk, immediately stepped forward to block the attack, but they were blasted away by the flames. Lu Yin stood in front of the group and stared at Huo Houye. A jade stone suddenly appeared in his hand. As long as he crushed it, Mister Mu would appear.
Hold on, Lu Yin suddenly remembered that the Innerverse and Outerverse had been separated. Could Mister Mu appear?
When he thought of this, his face turned pale. If Mister Mu could not appear, then he could only try to contact Granny Chan from the Northline Flowzone. Northline Flowzone owed him a promise.
Huo Houye looked at Lu Yin coldly. "Brat, weren't you very arrogant on Planet Pyrolyte?
You killed my Blaze Realm's experts, chased away the Daynight clan and Sword Sect's experts, and even fought against someone on the Top 100 Rankings. What now? "
Lu Yin's eyes flickered, and he was bewildered.
Wendy Yushan spoke up. "Huo Houye, you want the secret technique, right?"
Huo Houye looked at Wendy Yushan with desire and greed in his eyes. "That's right."
"I'll go with you on the condition that you don't hurt anyone else. Otherwise, I'd rather kill myself so that you can never obtain the secret technique," Wendy Yushan said indifferently.
Lu Yin pulled Wendy Yushan back. "No."
Peach and the rest spoke up as well.
Wendy Yushan pushed Lu Yin away and stared at Huo Houye.
Huo Houye thought about it for a moment. Compared to the importance of the secret technique, these people's lives were worthless to him, and he was also afraid that something would go wrong. "Fine, I agree. I won't hurt anyone else. Come with me."
Wendy Yushan's eyes dimmed, and she looked at Lu Yin. "Take care of yourself."
Lu Yin's expression was resolute, and he was about to crush the jade when Hai Qiqi, who had been hiding, appeared. She calmly looked at Huo Houye. "Frostwave Weave is under the protection of the Sea King's Dome. Have you forgotten?"
Huo Houye smiled and shook his head. "Little girl, I know that you're the Sea King's daughter, but now that the Innerverse and Outerverse have been separated, the Sea King's Dome can't extend its reach into Frostwave Weave. Besides, even if the Innerverse and Outerverse weren't separated, the Sea King would still have offended the entire Innerverse by stealing pyrolyte. The Sea King's Dome won't have a good time either.
Hai Qiqi looked up. "The Sea King's Dome is a man of his word. He said that Frostwave Weave is under the protection of the Sea King's Dome, so he won't allow anyone to act presumptuously." Then, a blue light bloomed from her body, and the Sea King's Trident appeared in her hand.
Lu Yin's pupils shrank, as he recognized the Sea King's Trident. What had appeared in Hai Qiqi's hand was definitely the Sea King's Trident, even if it was just an illusion.
The moment the Sea King's Trident appeared, everyone on Zenyu Star felt an unparalleled power. This power far surpassed Huo Houye's, and it dispersed the heat waves that had been roasting Zenyu Star.
Huo Houye stared at the Sea King's Trident in shock. "This … this is the Sea King's power."
Hai Qiqi raised her spear. "Retreat or die."
Huo Houye immediately retreated without hesitation, as he had sensed a fatal danger. This was definitely the Sea King's power, and he had never thought that the Sea King could merge his own power into another person's body. This power was enough to kill Huo Houye.
Sometimes, the longer a person lived, the more they did not want to die. Huo Houye was one such person. Regardless of whether or not Hai Qiqi had the power to kill an Enlighter, he did not dare to take the risk.
It was no wonder why the Sea King had said that Hai Qiqi did not need his protection. It turned out that she had the Sea King's power within her body. Wait, didn't she say that she could not sense the Sea King's power?
Could it be that the reason why she could sense the Sea King's power was because of the power that the Sea King had merged into her body?
If that was the case, then this power was as much as it had been consumed, and there was no way to replenish it. Lu Yin hurriedly had Hai Qiqi withdraw her power.
