Lu Yin flew up into the sky, and cultivators appeared around him from time to time. They all had sorrowful expressions on their faces.
When he looked at his gadget, Lu Yin finally understood what was going on. The remaining people from Ironblood Fort had retreated, as they had given up on Ironblood Fort.
In other words, Seasons Fort, Giantghost Fort, and Yellowsoil Fort had become the frontlines of the battlefield. The tragedy that had occurred at Ironblood Fort would now occur at these three forts as well.
For countless years, Ironblood Fort had never been lost. The most dangerous time had been when it had been temporarily abandoned, but it had been retaken with the help of the three middle forts. Now, the three middle forts did not even have the time to send reinforcements.
The Astral Beast Domain had transferred a lot of their strength to Ironblood Fort. They had broken the agreement and wanted to invade the human Outerverse.
A group of people had disappeared from the Ironblood Points rankings, including four Enlighters, dozens of Hunters, and many Cruisers. Most of these people had died at Ironblood Fort.
Even four Enlighters had died, and Kro Phoenix had also died. Lu Yin could only imagine how desperate the battle had been.
"Ironblood Fort's remaining forces will join the defense of the three middle forts. Although they've increased the fort's strength, they've also attracted the Astral Beast Domain's main force. Almost ten Enlighters and an old freak with a power level of over 300,000 couldn't even defend against the astral beasts' invasion. It'll be even harder for us to defend the three middle forts." Not far away, an older Explorer had a downcast expression on his face, and his eyes were filled with despair.
Lu Yin looked around and saw that the people around him were all like this, including himself. The entire Outerverse was facing a desperate situation.
Elder Lohar had probably sent another order for reinforcements to the Outerverse, and those hidden Enlighters would be forced out one by one, just like Topmist. Lu Yin had not seen his name on the rankings, but as Ironblood Weave's defenses became more and more intense, he would definitely be forced out.
One day later, Seasons Fort welcomed the remnants of Ironblood Fort's forces. Through the rune lines, Lu Yin was able to see three Enlighters, no less than ten Hunters, and many Cruisers and Explorers.
It was impossible for Ironblood Fort to gather all of their remaining forces at Seasons Fort, as only a third of their forces were here. Even if they tripled their strength, it would still not be enough to defend Ironblood Fort, which made Lu Yin's mood sink.
In outer space, the meteorite-like sourceboxes quietly floated about. These sourceboxes' formless killing intent and rune lines covered Seasons Fort, but Lu Yin's to see many places that did not to the rune lines. to see the holes in to to the sourceboxes' killing intent.....
Seeing it was one thing, but being able to fill in the gaps was another. These sourceboxes' danger zones were formed through the understanding of danger zones, and they were arranged in layers. One had to ensure that these sourceboxes would not repel each other, and they also had to ensure that the danger zones existed.
Lu Yin did not have the ability to do so, and even if he was given a batch of sourceboxes to place in those holes, it would be useless. It would be very easy for him to cause the entire sourcebox to become unstable.
This was something that a Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker could understand.
Lu Yin found Charon, intending to ask him about the arrangement of sourceboxes. He wondered if Charon would know anything about it.
..... on Yin '... s...............
. I don't know about that. Astral-6's Lockbreaker mentor didn't say anything about it either. He only said that you need to comprehend it yourself. Everyone's understanding of such a combination is different because the killing intent is ever-changing. "
Lu Yin pondered this. Some sourceboxes' killing intent could cause illusions, while others could cause immediate death. Others could summon the power of their predecessors. It was indeed ever-changing, and with so many variations, it was only natural that there were countless combinations. Unfortunately, Lu Yin could not comprehend any of them.
He looked up at the meteorite-like sourceboxes and wondered what their killing intent was.
"Brother Lu, you're not researching this, are you? Don't think too much about it. This is a level that even Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreakers can't comprehend, and there's probably no one in the entire Outerverse who can comprehend it. Do you know what a Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker represents?
It represents an almighty Enlighter whose power level exceeds 200,000. Once they appear, they can decide the outcome of a battle without using any lockbreaking techniques. "
Lu Yin suddenly looked at Charon. "How powerful is your Unveiled Sword?"
When he heard Lu Yin's question, Charon immediately went on guard. "What do you want?"
Lu Yin casually answered, "I'm just curious. After all, it's an ancient item."
Charon remained vigilant. "Divert your curiosity elsewhere. The Unveiled Sword is mine."
Lu Yin felt helpless, as he was being too vigilant.
In fact, during the battle just now, Lu Yin had specifically looked at the Unveiled Sword's rune lines. The strange thing was that the rune lines were constantly changing, sometimes terrifyingly high and sometimes pitifully low. Regardless of how many or how few the rune lines were, Charon had not been able to draw out any of its power. This fellow had not been able to obtain any help from the Unveiled Sword, which was a waste in Lu Yin's eyes. If Charon had the Unveiled Sword, he could have used it again.
"Right, aren't you from the Timor Weave?
Why have you come to Ironblood Fort? "Lu Yin asked.
Charon was helpless. "After graduating from Astral-6, I came to the Darkmist Weave to make a name for myself. Then, I was called out."
Lu Yin was puzzled. "You were called out even with your strength?"
Charon's face turned ugly, as he did not like hearing this.
Lu Yin looked up at the sky once more. Was there any way to patch up the holes?
Seasons Fort did not have any Lockbreakers at that level. He could clearly see the holes, but he could not patch them up. It was truly disgusting.
Charon left, and Lu Yin had been staring at the sky for a few hours. He would not accompany him.
In the distance, Huo Qingshan looked at the shattered land and some collapsed planets with a complicated expression. He did not know if he would be able to return alive.
The danger of sourceboxes was ever-changing, and there were no fixed locations. How had those astral beasts found the holes?
Lu Yin was puzzled. Could there be creatures in the Astral Beast Domain that could see rune lines?
What a pity. If these holes were fixed, then Seasons Fort could focus all of its power on those holes, which would have dealt a huge blow to the invading astral beasts. Hold on! Lu Yin suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Wouldn't he be able to see them? The next time the astral beasts invaded, their route would definitely be a hole. In other words, he would be able to know their invasion route at any time.
When he thought of this, Lu Yin became excited. He wanted to tell Aden and have him contact Liu Qiuyu.
Eh?
What's that?
Lu Yin was still staring at the sky with a confused expression. He had seen a beast, and as he stared, he realized that it was a beast. Was it an illusion?
No, the war had arrived.
The next moment, an alarm rang throughout Seasons Fort. Huo Qingshan's face changed, and he appeared beside Lu Yin. He raised a hand, causing flames to sweep through the void.
Countless technological weapons swept through the Void Wanderers, but they were all suppressed by an enormous strength. This was the strength of an Enlighter. At the same time, within Seasons Fort, several extremely powerful forces rushed into outer space. They were Liu Qiuyu, Featherking, Wen Qichen, Viletree, and the other Enlighters. A few Enlighters also appeared amongst the invading astral beasts, and a shocking clash broke out in outer space.
The Amethyst Beast appeared again, and Aden appeared at the right time to block it. This time, Aden activated his nine-lined battle force and combined it with his thunder shield to suppress the beast. The beast roared and tried to use its innate gift to absorb the thunder shield, but Aden was already prepared, and the beast was unable to succeed. In its battle with Aden, the Amethyst Beast was at a disadvantage.
There were many remnant forces in Ironblood Fort, and they even surpassed Seasons Fort itself. Lu Yin saw the Sword Sect's Viletree, Liu Sanjian, and even Long Yun.
He had not expected that Long Yun had not returned to the Innerverse and had instead remained in the Outerverse.
Huo Qingshan had been targeted by a Hunter realm astral beast. He had instantly killed a large number of astral beasts, which was too eye-catching.
Lu Yin was still surrounded by countless Limiteer beasts, and he felt very sullen. He had discovered that anyone who had performed outstandingly in the previous battles would be targeted in the next battle. The astral beasts' intelligence could not be underestimated.
Suddenly, a group of cultivators appeared and helped Lu Yin block the astral beast horde that had surrounded him. "Leave this to us."
Lu Yin felt that this was strange, as he did not recognize these people. However, he did not think too much about it. He leaped up and charged towards the other battlefields. He struck out at an Explorer realm astral beast and shattered it. He then targeted a Cruiser realm astral beast.
These cultivators had received Wang Wen's orders to release Lu Yin's strength.
Lu Yin could clearly fight across realms and even threaten Enlighters, but he was still surrounded by a horde of Limiteer beasts. Wang Wen felt that this was a waste, and with his monstrous intelligence, he would not allow such a waste to occur. There were too many soldiers and cultivators on the battlefield, but no matter how many there were, they were still his chess pieces, and he wanted to use every single one of them to their fullest potential.
The pass was located at the top level of Seasons Fort, and it was not too far away from where Lu Yin was defending. He looked up and saw that the pass was very eye-catching, as powerful astral beasts constantly attacked it. However, the defenses were also very strong.
Suddenly, he felt a chill run down his back, and he used the Secret Sidestep Technique to dodge. The void where he had been standing had been distorted by an enormous force, and Lu Yin could see an enormous number of rune lines through his eyes. This was a Cruiser realm Yin Guai.
Without any hesitation, Lu Yin raised his hand and struck out, but the Yin Guai raised its claws and swiped at him at the same time.
There was a loud bang, and the void rippled. Lu Yin was forced back several steps, his eyes filled with shock. He had moved three grains of Fatesand, but he had still been forced back. The Yin Guai was indeed worthy of being called the Astral Beast Domain's Mavis family.
The Yin Guai was not having a good time either, and it was even more shocked than Lu Yin. Not only had a human accurately pinpointed its location, but he had even suppressed it in terms of strength. It had never encountered such a situation before.
"Human, are you a monster?" The Yin Guai used its star energy to vibrate the air as it spoke.
Lu Yin was furious. "You're the monster!" He then used the Secret Sidestep Technique to instantly appear behind the Yin Guai. His six-lined battle force spread out, and he pressed both of his palms against the Yin Guai's back. "Thirty Stacks Fiftyfold Shockwave Palm."
There was a boom, and the Yin Guai spat out a mouthful of blood. Its body was revealed, and its back had been pulverized. It had died on the spot.
Lu Yin panted heavily. He constantly reminded himself that this was not Planet Pyrolyte, and there were no restrictions on cultivation. Freaks at the Cruiser realm or even Hunters could attack him at any time. Even if he was wearing his universal armor, he still had to maintain 120% of his vigilance.
He did not wish to place all of his hopes on his universal armor. Otherwise, when he took it off in the future, his battle habits would take shape, and that would be fatal.
