One day later, Brokenblade Fort trembled as countless attacks were launched into outer space under Lu Yin's guidance, destroying a large number of Void Wanderers.
The Brokenblade Stronghold cheered. They had never fought so happily before.
Han Fei heaved a sigh of relief. As long as he could destroy more Void Wanderers, the invasion of the behemoths would be delayed.
Wang Wen's expression was ugly. According to his analysis, the Astral Beasts would cut off all means of retreat now that the battle had reached this stage. They wouldn't be as cautious as they had been against Seasons Fort. Furthermore, the Astral Beasts had been in a hurry to invade Seasons Fort, so they wouldn't wait any longer.
His guess was correct. With a roar that shook the starry skies, Monster Loach appeared.
Brokenblade Fortress had never had an old monster with a combat power of over 300,000. Monster Loach had changed its usual behavior and appeared alone to defend against the attacks of the entire Brokenblade Fortress. This caused Brokenblade Fortress to be unable to eliminate the Void Wanderers immediately. Soon, an all-out war had begun.
Lu Yin put down his gadget; it was time for a tough battle.
"Try your best to hide. I can't take care of you," Lu Yin said indifferently before leaping into outer space.
Xi Qi watched Lu Yin's departing figure. "What should we do?"
The fish flicked its tail. "Hide."
"I don't think that's a good idea." Xi Qi was in a difficult position.
The fish proudly raised its head. "Look at the starry sky. Do you see that big fish?
That's Lord Fish's relative. Don't worry, you won't die. "
Xi Qi stared blankly at Monster Loach. "Relatives? They're probably on the level of our ancestors."
The fish was pleased. "That's right, he's at the level of an ancestor."
"It's your ancestor?"
"Bullshit! Lord Fish is its ancestor!"
Boom
There was a loud explosion as Monster Loach's tail shattered Brokenblade Fort's command center. Han Fei and Topmist attacked at the same time, but they were all blocked by the Enlighter beast.
Wang Wen hid in the coffin again and smashed into other places.
Lu Yin charged into outer space and scanned his surroundings. There were four Enlighter realm astral beasts and Monster Loach. This was going to be troublesome. His gun still had four attacks left, and it had only been two days since he had rolled his die, so he definitely would not be able to roll Enhance.
What about Elder Lohar?
Why hadn't he been able to stop Monster Loach?
Monster Loach destroyed Brokenblade Fortress in a frenzy. Even though Brokenblade Fortress was made up of thousands of planets and hundreds of continents, it was still quickly destroyed by the terrifying monster with a combat power of 300,000.
Lu Yin no longer had any attacks that could threaten Monster Loach, but he could still scare it. With that in mind, he raised his gun and aimed at Monster Loach.
Monster Loach suddenly stopped moving, and its body rapidly shrank before disappearing into the void. It was gone.
Lu Yin was stunned. This old man couldn't have been guarding against him all this time, could he?
They were too smart.
Suddenly, Lu Yin felt a chill run down his back as the void split open. An Enlighter realm astral beast slammed into his back and sent him flying far away.
At the same time, another Enlighter beast appeared and swiped at Lu Yin with a single claw.
Lu Yin's performance at Seasons Fort had already attracted the attention of countless astral beasts. His ranking on the Celestial Vanquisher's List was also growing higher and higher, which made him a target for countless astral beasts.
With a bang, Lu Yin casually waved his hand, causing the bullet to disappear into the void. It then shot into the head of an Enlighter realm astral beast, causing its head to explode.
However, the strange thing was that the Enlighter realm astral beast did not die, and its head regrew. This was an innate gift.
With a bang, Lu Yin was sent flying by the claw.
He stabilized himself with great difficulty as he panted heavily. He had been targeted. Astral beasts with strange innate gifts like these were very difficult to kill, as no one knew where their weaknesses were. This was going to be troublesome.
Lu Yin's only defense against Enlighter realm astral beasts was his universal armor, but no matter how sturdy it was, it could not withstand the attacks of two Enlighter realm astral beasts.
"Seventh Bro, hurry up and think of something, or run!" the monkey cried out.
Lu Yin gritted his teeth. He wanted to run, and he could do it. The Void Thunderbeast's flesh would allow him to escape far away, but was there any point in running?
If Brokenblade Fort collapsed, then the entire Outerverse would be plunged into a catastrophe.
Crack!
The Enneadic Wings cracked, and Lu Yin hurriedly put them away. He then took out the Astral Ruler and instantly retreated far away. He panted heavily as he stared into the distance.
The two Enlighter realm astral beasts glared at him. "Human, surrender. The Celestial Beast Empire welcomes you."
"Human, you should be honored. You've attracted both of us to deal with a single Explorer, and you've even caused Senior Loach to feel apprehensive. But it all ends here," the other Enlighter realm astral beast said.
Lu Yin panted heavily, and his palms were covered in sweat as he vigilantly stared at the two Enlighter realm astral beasts. At this moment, he saw a flash of lightning in the distance, and he charged towards one of the Enlighter realm astral beasts. "Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me. Try me if you don't believe me."
The two Enlighter realm astral beasts looked at each other fearfully. Even Monster Loach was afraid of this Explorer, so they could not help but think twice. Just as they were about to escape into the void, one of the Enlighter realm astral beasts was sent flying by a giant thunder shield. Lu Yin took advantage of the opportunity to fire a shot, using the Yu Secret Art to send the bullet into the Enlighter's head.
The head exploded, but the Enlighter realm astral beast was reborn. This time, however, its head was clearly much smaller.
The Enlighter realm astral beast used its claw to force Aden back before hurriedly escaping into the void. Lu Yin did not even have the chance to fire a second shot.
Lu Yin felt that it was a pity, but just as he was about to speak, he saw darkness above his head. He looked up, and his pupils shrank. Aden also looked up in shock.
Monster Loach had appeared out of nowhere and lashed out with its tail.
The two were immediately sent flying.
Aden's thunder shield shattered, and his nine-lined battle force collapsed. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and it was unknown whether he was still alive or not as he crashed into a planet and fell into the lava.
Lu Yin was still fine, as Monster Loach's attack could not break through the universal armor's defenses. However, the impact of the attack was enough to make him dizzy, and he crashed into something hard. What could be so hard?
"Chesspiece Bro?
You almost killed me! "Wang Wen shrieked.
Lu Yin opened his eyes and coincidentally met Wang Wen's gaze across the transparent coffin. He had crashed into Wang Wen.
In outer space, Monster Loach let out a deafening roar, and countless people covered their ears with pained expressions.
At that moment, a white-robed elder suddenly appeared in front of Monster Loach. The elder's hands pressed down on Monster Loach's head and then pushed it into the sourcebox's danger zone.
"Lohar, you old bastard!" Monster Loach bellowed, and its two whiskers swept towards the elder.
The elder allowed his whiskers to lash at him, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth as he pushed Monster Loach straight into the sourcebox's danger zone.
Every fort had their own sourcebox's danger zone, but after countless years, there had been a loophole.
If it had been Ironblood Fort's sourcebox, then Monster Loach would have been in trouble. However, Brokenblade Fort's sourcebox's danger zone was not much of a threat to it.
"Old bastard, why are you here?" Monster Loach roared.
The elder stared at Monster Loach. "I've already killed that amethyst beast."
"Impossible! That thing's defense is higher than mine!" Monster Loach cried out.
The elder sneered, and a strange weapon appeared in his hand as he aimed it at Monster Loach. "It's your turn now."
Monster Loach's large eyes were filled with bewilderment.
Lu Yin looked up and saw that the elder's rune lines were monstrous, and they were even higher than Monster Loach's. However, they were also dissipating very quickly. Was this old man Elder Lohar?
He was injured, and not lightly at that.
In comparison, Monster Loach was not that injured, and if they really fought, Elder Lohar would not be able to defeat the current Monster Loach.
However, Monster Loach was too timid, and it had been intimidated into retreating.
The battle ended with Elder Lohar's appearance.
Lu Yin relaxed, as he had been targeted, and there had been little room for him to display his abilities. Topmist had only been focused on escaping, and Han Fei had already done his best to block an Enlighter realm astral beast. If not for Elder Lohar intimidating Monster Loach, the battle would have been over.
"You can intimidate him once, but not twice," Wang Wen said helplessly as he walked out of the coffin.
Lu Yin was astonished. "You could tell?"
Wang Wen rolled his eyes. "You guys will never understand the superiority of intelligence. It's on another level."
This time, Elder Lohar wasn't the only one who had arrived. Not long after, several spacecraft appeared at Brokenblade Fort, bringing news that Giantghost Fort had collapsed.
Yellowsoil Fort had collapsed right after Seasons Fort, and the remaining people had gone to the other five lower forts. Lu Yin had specifically checked, and Wendy Yushan was still on the rankings, so she was fine. Now, he had received news that Giantghost Fort had also collapsed.
The three middle forts had all fallen, and the humans' last line of defense in the Outerverse were the five lower forts.
Nearly half of Brokenblade Fort had been destroyed in the previous battle, and the survivors from Giantghost Fort were considered reinforcements. However, at the same time, the astral beasts that had invaded Giantghost Fort would also join the battle against Brokenblade Fort.
Giantghost Fort had originally had four Enlighters: Commander Long Ke, Elder Qing Han, Huo Houye, and Meng Ningge. Now, only Huo Houye was still alive, and the rest had all died in battle.
Elder Lohar had lied to Monster Loach, as the Enlighter realm Amethyst Beast was still alive.
Because of this lie, although Monster Loach had been forced to retreat, the next battle would definitely come very soon. It might be tomorrow or the day after.
Although there was no effect, Lu Yin still updated the loophole in the sourcebox's danger zone. Because of the previous battle, his Ironblood Points had once again entered the top fifty.
During the battle at Brokenblade Fort, Lu Yin had held back an Enlighter realm astral beast and caused Monster Loach to be even more apprehensive. This contribution was not small, but because he had not killed an Enlighter realm astral beast, he had only received a few thousand points. Even so, it was enough for him to enter the top fifty.
Entering the rankings meant that Lu Yin was still alive, but he had not exchanged his points. He hoped that this information would be passed on to Wendy Yushan through the rankings and to everyone who cared about him.
Aden had been severely injured this time, but fortunately, Huo Qingshan had held him back at the last moment. Otherwise, Aden might have been finished.
At Brokenblade Fort's command center, Commander Han Fei, Wang Wen, Topmist, and Huo Houye were all present.
"Invite Brother Lu over," Han Fei ordered.
Huo Houye frowned, as he knew who this Brother Lu was. Lu Yin was a genius who had broken through to the Explorer realm, but had still been attacked by two Enlighter realm astral beasts. Even though Huo Houye was an Enlighter, he could not help but admire this person, as he was a freak. Even the Ten Arbiters could not have reached this level when they had been Explorers!
"There's no need to call him over. He has to keep an eye on the loophole at all times. The Astral Beast Domain's invasion is very urgent, or else Monster Loach would not have dared to stand at the front. Something must have happened to the Astral Beast Domain, so let Lu Yin keep an eye on them," Wang Wen said.
Han Fei nodded. They could also sense the urgency of the Astral Beast Domain's invasion, and they began to discuss the upcoming battle. Han Fei wanted to know which astral beasts had destroyed Giantghost Fort and what abilities and innate gifts they possessed so that he could be prepared for the next battle.
