What Lu Yin cared about the most were the six and eleven Honor Points. Six Honor Points could exempt him from certain crimes, and he could even borrow a portion of the Hall of Honor's power. He would be equivalent to a universal aristocrat, and he would have special privileges wherever he went. The eleven Honor Points were even more ruthless. If he died, the Hall of Honor would investigate the cause of death, and if he died due to vengeance, his enemies would be tried by the Interstellar Tribunal, which was equivalent to buying insurance.
If possible, Lu Yin would have liked to obtain the six and eleven Honor Points, but he did not have enough points. Increasing his Honor Points by four required 80,000 Ironblood Points, which was too much. Even if he succeeded in exchanging them, they would not be of much help to him at the moment. At the very least, he needed to ensure that the Outerverse would still exist after this calamity. Only then would he be able to exchange them. Otherwise, having special privileges would be useless since the Outerverse would be gone.
The more Honor Points he had, the more likely he would be hunted down by the astral beasts, so he might as well not exchange them.
Not long after, many people in Ironblood Weave realized that Lu Yin's name had dropped from the top ten to the bottom thousand.
Many people were confused. What was going on?
Why had he dropped so much in such a short time?
Had he exchanged them all?
Only a few people could guess that he had probably exchanged them all for money!
Wendy Yushan was a little helpless, as she was certain that Lu Yin had exchanged them all for money.
At this moment, Lu Yin was looking at the small mountain of star essence in his cosmic ring and smiling foolishly. He was reminded by Wang Wen, and he looked up at the sky again. He planned to use this money when he broke through to the Explorer realm, so he needed to save some for later.
In the Outerverse, in Vastdearth Weave, five planets were connected together. This was the territory of a certain family, and although they were not very powerful, no one dared to provoke them because there were Hunters in the family.
At present, four of the five planets had already been destroyed. On the final planet, countless howls could be heard as a desiccated corpse with Progenitor Wushang's hide on its head stepped into a pool of blood. Its dark eyes stared at a boy in front of it. "Ancient bloodline detected. Target confirmed. Kill." It raised a hand and swiped it across, decapitating the boy.
After destroying five planets, the mummy raised its head and looked in the direction of Ironblood Weave. "Ancient bloodline detected. Target confirmed. Kill." It then leaped into the air and headed towards Ironblood Weave.
Darkmist Weave, on Mafioso Planet. Mistchild was hidden in the darkness, along with countless assassins around her.
"Ironblood Weave has summoned me. Ancestor will be heading to the border. I'll leave Mafioso Planet to you," Topmist said.
Not long after, Topmist left. He left with the Blood Palm Imprint that was Mafioso Planet's inheritance. No one knew about this, as Mafioso Planet's rules forbade the Blood Palm Imprint from leaving. However, Topmist was afraid of death, so he still took it with him. To him, the inheritance was not important, but his life.
It wasn't just Topmist, as all of the almighty Enlighters in the Outerverse had been summoned. Just like Nightqueen Qiuyu and the others, not going would be equivalent to defying the Hall of Honor. Not even Enlighters dared to make such a decision.
"It's already been five days since any of the Astral Beasts have invaded. It seems that the number of Void Wanderers is truly too low. They should have gone to the Celestial Beast Empire to ask for reinforcements," Wang Wen analyzed.
The two of them sat on a cliff by the sea, drinking wine.
He retracted his gaze and rubbed his eyes, "Does that mean I can rest for a while?"
Wang Wen nodded. "Sure."
"Aren't you afraid that the astral beasts will take the opportunity to invade?"
Wang Wen's lips curled up. "If I say they won't, then they won't. You won't understand even if I explain things to you. Rest well, there's still at least half a month before the next battle."
Lu Yin did not know where Wang Wen's confidence came from, but he did not ask any questions. Even if he did, he would only be ridiculed. However, he would only rest for two days at most. After that, he would have to continue. It was always better to be safe than sorry.
"That's strange. If the astral beasts invaded, why didn't that Monster Loach take the lead? With its strength, it could have blocked everyone's attacks," Lu Yin asked.
Wang Wen was disdainful. "I already said that it's a fish, and fish are all timid. It wouldn't have the guts to face all of our attacks by itself."
"What about that Enlighter realm Amethyst Beast?"
"Do you think that Elder Lohar is useless?"
"You sound like a friend of mine."
"Don't belittle me. No one in this universe is as smart as me. How can someone else say what I say?
What a joke. "
Lu Yin did not want to talk to him anymore.
Wang Wen had confirmed that he would be safe for half a month, so Lu Yin could only give himself two days. After resting for a day, he found a secluded place and shielded his right arm. "It's time to roll the die."
Back then, he had guessed that if Six Enhance could fuse with someone's body, then would it be possible to bring his consciousness to the Innerverse and fuse with someone there?
With his current strength, the person he fused with would not have a low status. If he really was in the Innerverse, then he would inform the various great powers of the Innerverse about the Astral Beast Domain's invasion of Ironblood Weave. Although the Innerverse and the Astral Beast Domain were separated by the Astral River, there were still gaps between them. Once the various great powers of the Innerverse started a war against the Astral Beast Domain, then the pressure on Ironblood Weave would be alleviated.
This was Lu Yin's guess. There was a possibility, but there were a few things he was not sure about. Could Six Enhance really bring him to the Innerverse?
And even if it could, with his current position, he could be anywhere. It was not certain that he would be able to fuse with the Innerverse, and he might not even have enough star essence on him.
Rolling the die depended on one's luck, and there were many possibilities. However, Lu Yin still decided to give it a try, as he would not know the results if he did not try.
He raised his hand and the die appeared. This time, Lu Yin did not take off his cosmic ring. Six Enhance consumed a terrifying amount of resources, but if he could use these resources to bring him into the Innerverse, then it would all be worth it.
He tapped the die, and it spun until it finally stopped. Five Enhance. He could borrow his innate gift, but it was useless. There was no one around for ten seconds, so he recovered the die and tapped it again. This time, he rolled Two Enhance, but it was still useless. He rolled it again, and on his third try, he rolled a single Enhance.
Lu Yin took a deep breath. This was the last time. He tapped the die again, and it spun until it finally stopped. Then, a six appeared in front of Lu Yin's blue eyes. The next moment, his vision turned dark, and he appeared in that mysterious space. There were balls of light of various sizes all around him, some glaring while others were dim.
Lu Yin sped up and rushed out. He did not know which direction led to the Innerverse, so he could only head south. In reality, south was the Outerverse, and further south was the Innerverse. But which direction was south?
After a full half a minute, Lu Yin suddenly felt an extremely strong suction force. He hesitated for a moment before rushing over and fusing with the ball of light.
When he opened his eyes again, he discovered that everything had changed. The starry sky had become very mysterious to him, and it was no longer the original starry sky. Instead, it was a layered space that gave him an indescribable sense of warmth and dependence. He lowered his head and raised his hand, only to see a dark vortex. Was this … Tian Hou?
Lu Yin had never thought that he would not be able to fuse with someone from the Innerverse, but instead, he would be fusing with his former opponent from the Tournament of the Strongest, Tian Hou.
The world was unpredictable, and it was no wonder that this ball of light was so attractive to him. Tian Hou was a legend in the Astral Beast Domain and had been invincible since ancient times. Lu Yin was also invincible, and their statuses were similar.
During the Tournament of the Strongest, if not for the Sirius Art and the Stonewall Scriptures, Lu Yin would not have been Tian Hou's match. Tian Hou's attacks and defenses were unbreakable because he was an amalgamation of devouring vortices.
He was one of the most mysterious lifeforms in the universe.
Through Tian Hou's gaze, Lu Yin saw a different universe. Perhaps this was the true nature of the universe.
Soon enough, Lu Yin learned of the current situation. Tian Hou was an astral beast that had come to reinforce the Primal Zone, which was the place that had been invading Ironblood Weave. All of the invading astral beasts had come from the Primal Zone, and the Primal Zone's status in the Astral Beast Domain was similar to Ironblood Weave's status in the human world.
Because Seasons Fort had dealt too much damage to the Void Wanderers, the Celestial Beast Empire had sent a large number of them to the Primal Zone. They were determined to invade the human Outerverse. Aside from the Void Wanderers, there was also a group of experts, five Enlighter realm astral beasts, and a super astral beast with a power level of over 350,000.
This group included Cursewind, who was on Skymender's List, and Tian Hou from the Spiritual Academy.
Skymender's List was a list that the Astral Beast Domain had created in order to resist the humans. It also had ten creatures that corresponded to the Ten Arbiters.
Lu Yin had seen Yao Gu and Wen Sansi's battle at the border of Erudite Flowzone, and this time, a beast called Cursewind had come to reinforce the Primal Zone.
Lu Yin's heart sank when he heard this information. The Astral Beast Domain had launched a large-scale invasion, and based on the number of experts and astral beasts that they had sent, Ironblood Weave would definitely not be able to withstand them.
Lu Yin raised his head and used Tian Hou's vision to look behind him. He could vaguely sense an intimidating undulation coming from a super powerful astral beast. It was still asleep, but its power level was over 350,000.
To the Celestial Beast Empire, this batch of astral beasts was not that powerful. If they failed, they would send out astral beasts with power levels of over 500,000, which would be at the level of Envoys. That would be a truly desperate situation.
Was there really no other way?
Lu Yin pondered this as he read through Tian Hou's memories.
From Tian Hou's memories, he saw the Astral Beast Domain's most mysterious person: Skymender. He had a basic understanding of the Celestial Beast Empire, but this was not what he wanted to know.
Suddenly, Tian Hou opened his eyes, and Lu Yin grew excited. He had discovered some important information. It turned out that the Primal Zone had also been isolated from the outside world. There was an energy liquid in the Primal Zone that was similar to the Astral River. When the universe underwent a great change, the energy there would explode, just like the Outerverse.
This energy liquid had only appeared in the past few decades, so it was no wonder that no one in Ironblood Weave knew about it.
Unfortunately, the Primal Zone had not been completely isolated, as there was still a crack that could allow reinforcements to enter. Once this crack was destroyed, the Primal Zone would be completely isolated from the Outerverse, just like the Outerverse.
Now that he had obtained the information he wanted, Lu Yin did not plan on staying any longer. He raised a hand and slapped his chest, causing his vision to darken once more. When he opened his eyes, he had returned to his body.
Lu Yin spat out a mouthful of turbid air and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He hurriedly checked his cosmic ring, wondering if he had used up all of his star essence.
He nervously checked his ring and relaxed. Fortunately, he had used up 20,000 star essence, so he still had around 40,000 left. Fortunately, he had been afraid that he would run out of them all.
