Kong Shi was a Hunter, which was a bit easier to accept since it was unlikely that just anyone could surpass an Enlighter.
Below Kong Shi were two Enlighters, and below them was a Hunter named Liu Zhan. He seemed to be from the Sword Sect's Liu family, and Seasons Fort's commander was called Liu Qiuyu, so he should also be from the Sword Sect's Liu family.
Below Liu Zhan were four Enlighters, and below them were a Hunter named Liu Miaomiao and a Cruiser named Lin Le.
These were the top twenty on the list, and there were actually two Cruisers among them. They were not simple at all, as there were still a large number of Hunters at the bottom of the list.
However, almost all of the Hunters and Cruisers in the top twenty were from Ironblood Fort. This was the fort at the very front of Ironblood Weave, and it was rumored that there was never an end to the war and that it was always recruiting soldiers and cultivators.
The list was very long, and anyone with Ironblood Points could enter it. There was a very long list at the very end, but Lu Yin was too lazy to flip through it. He only looked at the front.
Suddenly, Lu Yin's eyes lit up as he saw someone familiar: Yue Xianzi. Right, that girl had always been in San Dios. She had been left behind after the Innerverse and Outerverse had been cut off, but why hadn't she contacted him?
Since Yue Xianzi had come to Ironblood Weave and even killed enemies, An Shaohua should be there as well. It seemed like the Youth Council had also been recruited, which meant that Puyu would be there as well.
Not long after, Wendy Yushan parted ways with Lu Yin. She was going to Yellowsoil Fort.
Lu Yin had Ryan Merke follow her and also ordered half of the Cruisers and Explorers to head to Yellowsoil Fort. As long as Ryan Merke did not want anything to happen to the Merke family, he would do his best to protect Wendy Yushan while Lu Yin led the rest of the people to Seasons Fort.
Not long after he left, Wendy Yushan suddenly contacted Lu Yin. "I heard that the war system is connected to the entire universe. The Ironblood Points you obtain in Ironblood Weave are equivalent to the battle merits of the other warzones. Similarly, once the system is connected, you will be able to see the rankings of the other warzones."
"There's no point in talking about that. The network in the eastern weave of the Outerverse is already intermittent, so there's no need to talk about the other warzones."
"I'm just telling you to try your best to obtain as many battle merits as possible. It's best to exchange them for Honor Points, but based on your personality, you'll probably exchange them for star essence," Wendy Yushan said.
Lu Yin smiled. "You really know me well."
"It's best if you can keep your life and get as many battle achievements as possible. Honor Points have unimaginable benefits. You already have two, so as long as you can get more than eleven points, the Hall of Honor will investigate if you're injured or killed. If necessary, they'll take revenge for you," Wendy Yushan said.
Lu Yin asked, "Isn't the Hall of Honor in the Neoverse?"
"The Hall of Honor is everywhere," Wendy Yushan replied before ending the call.
The Hall of Honor's influence was even more terrifying than he had imagined. It was no wonder that even Undying Yushan hadn't dared to pardon Sigmund. However, as time passed and the Innerverse and Outerverse continued to be separated, the Hall of Honor's influence would only continue to decline.
Lu Yin hoped that the Hall of Honor was truly omnipresent. That way, the Outerverse might still have some hope of being protected.
In fact, the moment he received the call for help, he had a vague idea that he might be able to resolve this calamity. Of course, it all depended on luck.
An alarm suddenly sounded, and the void in front of him split open to reveal a very familiar astral beast — a Void Wanderer.
No matter how strong these astral beasts were, their innate ability was to tear through the void. When the Astral Beast Domain invaded the Human Domain, most of them had used Void Wanderers to pave the way and send in countless astral beasts.
Originally, the astral beasts sent by the Void Wanderers were all below the space-exploring realm, but with the changes in the universe, even Explorers could no longer tear through the void. Now, even Explorers and Cruisers had to rely on Void Wanderers to reach the human battlefield.
A group of Explorer astral beasts appeared in front of Lu Yin.
In Ironblood Weave, astral beasts could invade any location, and it wasn't something that Ironblood Fort could completely defend against. Lu Yin wasn't surprised, though. He donned his universal armor and walked to the top of the spacecraft to face the astral beasts that were coming from all directions.
Aden and Huo Qingshan both entered outer space, and a huge battle broke out without any warning.
There were too many astral beasts, and they were all Explorers and Cruisers. Even with Hunters like Huo Qingshan and Aden, who could sweep through a large group of astral beasts, they couldn't kill them all quickly.
In outer space, Lu Yin quickly approached an astral beast while being dragged by the monkey's shadow. He raised his hand and slammed it down.
The astral beast was disdainful of Lu Yin's attack, as he was just a human who needed to wear universal armor to travel through outer space. At most, he was a Limiteer, so how could it be easy for him to challenge someone who was stronger than him? The astral beast didn't dodge, and instead, it raised its claw and swatted at Lu Yin.
If Ling Que had seen this, he would definitely have praised Lu Yin as a man.
There was a boom, and the astral beast was smashed to pieces by Lu Yin's palm. Blood splattered across outer space, and Lu Yin passed through the blood and covered his universal armor in a layer of crimson before attacking the other astral beasts.
Not too far away, many astral beasts were incinerated into nothingness by Huo Qingshan's flames. Huo Qingshan was constantly observing Lu Yin. Although Lu Yin had the ability to instantly kill Enlighters, that was with his spear. He couldn't use his spear against these astral beasts, as Huo Qingshan was worried that Lu Yin wouldn't be able to hold on.
However, Lu Yin's strength had once again shocked Huo Qingshan, and it had refreshed his understanding of the Limiteer realm.
This was especially true after Lu Yin killed a Cruiser realm astral beast. Huo Qingshan no longer paid any attention to Lu Yin, as the strongest of the attacking astral beasts were only Cruisers. Not a single one was a match for Lu Yin.
Not long after, the attacking astral beasts were completely annihilated, while Lu Yin and the rest were completely unharmed. Fortunately, the fleet that had been sent to reinforce Ironblood Weave had yet to arrive, or else there might have been casualties.
In this battle, Lu Yin had killed a Cruiser realm astral beast and more than ten Explorers. For a Limiteer, this battle record was quite high, and Lu Yin estimated that he would receive a few dozen Ironblood Points.
He looked at his system and saw that his military contributions were probably being evaluated. Once the evaluation was over, he would know exactly how many Ironblood Points he had received.
This battle didn't take up much time, and half a day later, Lu Yin and the others saw a colossal object that spanned across outer space. Just like Brokenblade Fort, it blocked off everyone's vision. It was made up of many planets, and the aura of war filled the air. This was Seasons Fort.
Ironblood Weave was divided into the upper Ironblood Fort, the middle three forts, and the lower five forts. Seasons Fort was located behind Ironblood Fort, and it was one of the middle three forts. It was also a fort that was constantly at war.
Lu Yin and the others didn't even have time to observe Seasons Fort before their attention was drawn to the battlefield in front of them.
He had never seen such a grand battle before.
Up in the sky, on the ground, on the heavens. Wherever the eye could see, there was a battlefield, and the sound of war drums filled the heavens.
Although the battle at Erudite Flowzone's border warfront had been intense, Lu Yin had only participated in the defense of the planets and hadn't come into contact with the heavens. However, the battle at Seasons Fort had allowed him to truly experience the desperate battles between different races.
Lu Yin and the others didn't have much time to think, and they immediately entered the battlefield. The battle system could automatically identify their identities, so they entered Seasons Fort without any obstructions. The first thing they saw was a severed arm smashing into the fort's space station. Lu Yin's eyes narrowed, as that severed arm had a powerful oppressive force that definitely belonged to a Hunter.
Just as he thought of this, blood rained down like a waterfall, and a mangled corpse crashed to the ground. Half of the body was gone.
"It's a Hunter!" Aden hurriedly stood in front of Lu Yin and cautiously stared outside the space station.
With a boom, half of the space station was torn apart by a giant claw. Aden leapt up, and his thunder shield released a thunderous boom as it slammed into the giant claw. The next moment, a shockwave swept through the area as Huo Qingshan grabbed Lu Yin and soared into the sky. The entire space station had been torn to pieces.
Huo Qingshan brought Lu Yin into outer space, and only then did Lu Yin clearly see that a giant monster that was thousands of meters tall had been sent flying by Aden. It was sent flying a hundred kilometers, and it roared as its claw slammed down. The void shattered into layers of fragments, and several incomparably large cracks swallowed up the fort's space station.
The fort's space station was built on a floating continent in outer space, and the moment it was struck, the entire continent would collapse.
There were still many human cultivators fighting against the astral beasts on the continent.
Aden growled, and his thunder shield expanded to meet the claw head-on. He forcefully blocked the beast's attack, and even the spatial cracks were unable to break through the thunder shield's defensive perimeter.
This scene was witnessed by many, and countless people were shocked when such a terrifying powerhouse had arrived at the stronghold. It should be known that although that beast was only a Hunter, it had already killed three human Hunters. Aside from a limited number of people in the stronghold, no one else could stop it, and those people were all being held back by powerful enemies. That beast was the strongest weapon currently attacking the stronghold, but it had actually been blocked by someone who had suddenly appeared, and it was even at a disadvantage.
"That beast is at least a freak among Hunters, and it might even be close to an ultimate powerhouse," Huo Qingshan said in shock.
Lu Yin replied, "It's not at the level of an ultimate powerhouse. It can't compare to Aden."
Boom!
Another loud explosion rang out as Aden blocked the beast's attack once more. Not only that, but he also pushed his thunder shield and forcefully pushed the beast away from the fort. Along the way, the void distorted and turned into a spatial crack that cut through the heavens.
On the other side of the fort, Liu Qiuyu looked over in shock. When had such a powerhouse appeared in the fort?
Aden's strength was already comparable to an Enlighter's.
The Enlighter beast that was fighting with Liu Qiuyu was similarly shocked, and its eyes were filled with unwillingness.
Lu Yin had Huo Qingshan bring him to the continent within the fort. Some of the continents were planets, while others were continents floating in outer space.
Lu Yin appeared on the floating continent within the space station and began his battle. Before he understood the situation, he did not want to rashly enter the astral battlefield.
He did not know how long this battle would last, and it had already been two days since Lu Yin had arrived at Seasons Fort. He looked around and saw that there were still astral beasts everywhere. The astral beasts roared, and powerful attacks swept across the continent from time to time, but they were all blocked by the human powerhouses.
Lu Yin panted heavily as he donned his universal armor and retrieved some star essence to recover his star energy.
