Lu Yin felt helpless. A Limiteer's ball of light was so hot that it was either similar in terms of cultivation or in some other way. What exactly was it?
He walked over to the window and looked outside. There was a floating continent here that had no name. Everyone called it the Mara River Frontline Battlefield. That's right, Tong Chou was from the Sixth Mainland, and this was the frontline of the Sixth Mainland's invasion of the Innerverse.
Lu Yin had never thought that he would actually come here. The Mara River was what the Sixth Mainland called the Starfall Sea. No one knew where the source and end of the Starfall Sea led to, but now he knew that the end was the Sixth Mainland. The river flowed from the bottom to the top and into the Sixth Mainland, becoming the Mara River.
The Sixth Mainland's invasion of the Innerverse had been through the Mara River, and this continent was just one of the frontlines. Tong Chou was a disciple of the Grand Martial Realm's Tong family, a Cosmic Imprinter family that was unparalleled in power and dominated an entire continent.
Based on Tong Chou's memories, Lu Yin knew that the Sixth Mainland and the Innerverse were at war.
He had thought that the Sixth Mainland's invasion of the Innerverse would be unstoppable, but the Innerverse's foundations were extremely deep, and they had managed to hold on for a while. The Sixth Mainland had sent out Imprinters and World Imprinters, while the Innerverse had also sent out Envoys and old freaks with power levels in the hundreds of thousands.
Although they had managed to hold on, the Innerverse had suffered great losses. Even Tong Chou knew that a few Envoys with power levels over 500,000 had died, and many planets in the Starfall Sea had been destroyed. Those planets had been overseen by old freaks with power levels in the hundreds of thousands, but they had still been destroyed.
At that moment, another memory surged into Lu Yin's mind, and he saw the scene of the battlefield. It was as if the heavens and earth were falling apart, and he felt like an ant caught in a storm. Suddenly, he saw a strange figure that was riding a horse through the void and burning with flames. The figure looked at him from afar, and Tong Chou felt a chill run down his spine.
Lu Yin had seen this figure before; it had crossed the heavens and caused him to feel a chill. This was the same figure.
There were all sorts of people on the battlefield, and Tong Chou was only a Limiteer. He had retreated after a single glance, and he didn't know anything about the person that Lu Yin wanted to know.
He only knew that the war was developing in the Sixth Mainland's favor.
Off in the distance, a cool breeze blew by, clearing up Lu Yin's mind. Memories flooded his mind, and he finally understood why he had merged with this person's body. This person had actually cultivated the Skybeast Claw.
The Skybeast Claw was a battle technique that had been passed down by Undying Yushan of the Great Yu Empire. The Great Yu Empire had 108 forms, and Lu Yin had learned all of them. On the Astral Combat Academy's Stargazing Platform, he had seen an incomparably large battleship traversing the heavens, and he had also seen traces of the Skybeast Claw on the battleship. This battle technique was clearly not simple, and he was even more certain of that now, as the Skybeast Claw had even appeared on the Sixth Mainland.
The Skybeast Claw that Tong Chou had learned had been an accidental discovery, just like how Ruky Mathers had learned the Stone-Crushing Fist. Tong Chou had learned the Skybeast Claw from a claw imprint on a rock, but he had studied it from a young age, and the power of the Skybeast Claw that he had learned was even greater than the 108 styles of the Great Yu Empire.
Lu Yin raised his hand, and his palm transformed into a claw. A bestial roar shook the void, and an ancient aura spread out.
Lu Yin's eyes lit up, as this might have been very powerful if he had used his true body's strength. He had already imprinted the technique into his memory, so he put down his hand. He would not forget it, and all he needed to do was go back and practice it, but he did not know how powerful it would be.
Lu Yin walked out of his room and looked at the people shuttling back and forth in the sky. These were all cultivators from the Tong family, and they had participated in the frontlines to help the Tong family plunder resources.
At this point, Tong Chou knew that the Tong family had already plundered two planets in the Starfall Sea, and they had seized hundreds of millions of human slaves. They had also plundered many resources, especially the remnants of powerhouses with power levels in the hundreds of thousands, which made the entire Tong family excited.
The Tong family's main battlefield was in the Starfall Sea, but in reality, the Sixth Mainland's attack on the Innerverse had brought the largest number of cultivators from the Blackblood Realm. The Blackblood Realm covered the entire Mara River, and they had practically poured all of their strength into attacking the Innerverse. They had already fought their way out of the Starfall Sea, and Lu Yin estimated that they had already reached Chaos Flowzone.
"Tong Chou, come here," a clear voice called out from the distance.
Lu Yin turned around and saw a young girl. He was astonished, as it was actually her.
He remembered that the second time he had entered the Daosource Sect's ruins, he had met a young girl in the plaza outside the First Divine Gate, and he had exchanged blows with her. Right, now that he thought about it, this girl's surname was also Tong, which was quite a coincidence.
When he saw her, Lu Yin was astonished, but Tong Chou's heart was filled with panic, hatred, and helplessness. Lu Yin thought back to the past and realized that it was no wonder that he was feeling these emotions. This girl named Tong Tong had always bullied him, and she had treated him like a dog for many years. His hatred for this girl was very strong, but he did not dare to resist because she was a direct descendant of the Tong family. She was the strongest member of the Tong family's younger generation, and she was an expert who was second only to the Realmlings in the Grand Martial Realm. She was also Tong Zhan's younger sister.
"Tong Chou, I told you to come here! Didn't you hear me?" Tong Tong shouted again from afar.
Before Lu Yin could move, someone kicked out from behind him. Lu Yin's expression changed, and he subconsciously dodged. With his battle awareness, it was very easy for him to dodge this kick, but the person who had kicked him had not expected him to dodge, which caused quite a few people in the surroundings to laugh.
Tong Tong laughed as well, and she even shouted something.
That person felt like he had lost all face, and he glared at Lu Yin fiercely. "Alright, you've become more daring after coming to the battlefield. You actually dare to dodge? I'll let you dodge." He then kicked out again, this time with star energy, and his speed was much faster than before.
Lu Yin had not wanted to cause trouble, and he had thought that it would be fine if he was kicked. However, deep in his heart, Tong Chou's hatred and fear made him instinctively want to resist. He raised his leg and kicked out as well. His kick landed on the man's knee, causing him to fall to the ground.
The crowd fell silent as they looked at Lu Yin in shock. What was going on?
In the distance, Tong Tong was also shocked. "This guy's luck is too good."
At some point, a young man had appeared behind her and was staring at Lu Yin with a smile on his face.
The face of the man who had been kicked down by Lu Yin turned red, and he stood up with a cold look in his eyes. "I'll make you regret being born." He then struck out with a palm. This person was an Explorer, and his innate suppression of Tong Chou was too strong. His star energy suppression forced Lu Yin to dodge. In the past, when Tong Chou had been bullied by others, he had never dared to retaliate due to his cowardice. In reality, his Skybeast Claw was not weak at all.
Tong Chou did not dare to retaliate, but Lu Yin did not want to, as he did not want to expose his Skybeast Claw.
Without the Skybeast Claw, Lu Yin would not have been able to use Tong Chou's body to fight against an elite Explorer from the Tong family. However, dodging was not a problem. His understanding of star energy was still there, and it would not disappear just because he had switched bodies.
With the flow of star energy, Lu Yin was able to coincidentally avoid that person's attack every time. Once or twice could be considered a coincidence, but he had done so over ten times in a row. The crowd fell silent, as this was not something that could be done by coincidence.
Even Tong Tong felt that something was wrong, and she looked at Lu Yin strangely. "This guy's dodging ability is quite strong."
"No, it's just that his perception of star energy is very strong, and he can predict his opponent's attacks in advance," the man behind Tong Tong spoke up.
Tong Tong turned around and was surprised. "Brother, why are you here?"
The man was Tong Zhan, and he took a few steps forward. He looked at Lu Yin, who was constantly dodging, and calmly said, "If I didn't come, why would I see something so interesting? He's not far from comprehending a domain."
Tong Tong pouted. "What's so great about a domain? I can do it too. It's very easy for us from the Sixth Mainland to comprehend a domain, but what we need is spiritual force. Only by increasing our spiritual force can we withstand the pressure of the imprint and become stronger. If I can display the ancestor's imprint more clearly, then my power will increase exponentially."
"Don't underestimate a domain. It's also very terrifying when it's developed to its peak. It's just that no one from the Sixth Mainland is willing to spend the time to cultivate it," Tong Zhan said.
After dodging multiple times, that person finally flew into a rage out of humiliation. A blurry phantom image appeared behind him; it was an imprint.
Lu Yin's heart sank. Not good! Once the imprint was used, this person's attack range and strength would greatly increase. It would be unrealistic for him to rely on this body to dodge. After all, the difference was too great.
"Die!" The person raised a palm and slapped down. An imprint appeared on his forehead, and the power of the imprint increased by another level. The void distorted and rippled.
Lu Yin was helpless. Was he going to die?
He really had let down this Tong Chou by letting him die.
At that moment, a hurricane swept past, and a powerful aura forced everyone back. The man who had attacked Lu Yin was diverted by this pressure, and he was slapped to the side, creating a deep crater in the ground.
Lu Yin turned around. What a terrifying pressure.
Everyone around him bowed. "Greetings, Young Master."
The person who had attacked Lu Yin hurriedly stepped forward. "Greetings, Young Master."
Tong Zhan looked at Lu Yin and then at the others. "A great battle is imminent. Don't let others see our Tong family as a joke. Internal strife is not allowed."
"Yes, Young Master," the crowd answered.
"Prepare yourselves. The Martial Ancestor might make a move during this time," Tong Zhan said calmly, his words shocking everyone.
"Young Master, are you saying that the Martial Ancestor is going to attack the Fifth Mainland?"
Tong Tong also looked at Tong Zhan in shock.
Tong Zhan looked up. "The Martial Ancestor is dissatisfied with our war with the Fifth Mainland. A group of powerhouses have also appeared in the Fifth Mainland, but there are too many of them. In addition, their top powerhouses from the younger generation wantonly massacred our Sixth Mainland's elites in the ruins of the Daosource Sect. The Martial Ancestor might bring the Daosource Three Skies to attack, and when that happens, the Fifth Mainland will definitely collapse.
"Yes, Young Master," the crowd answered.
Lu Yin's scalp went numb. The Martial Ancestor was a Progenitor. How could the Innerverse withstand a Progenitor's attack?
The Fifth Mainland should not have any Progenitors, while the Sixth Mainland had three. This was a hopeless disparity. Even though Lu Yin had never seen a Progenitor's strength before, he had heard of it many times. It was the ultimate realm of human cultivation.
If cultivators were gods to ordinary people, then Imprinters were gods to cultivators. As for Progenitors, they were gods to Imprinters. They were terrifying figures that they didn't even have the qualifications to look up to.
