Lu Yin's heart sank.
Tong Zhan left, and the person who had ambushed Lu Yin did not cause any more trouble for him. Clearly, the news that a Progenitor was about to make a move had a huge impact on them, as it meant that the Fifth Mainland was about to be defeated, which meant that there were endless opportunities waiting for them.
Tong Tong walked over to Lu Yin's side and looked at him strangely. "Not bad, Tong Chou. I didn't know that you had this ability. You're about to comprehend a domain."
Lu Yin came back to his senses and looked at Tong Tong. He bowed and respectfully said, "I might have been affected by the battlefield's atmosphere. I unknowingly became like this."
Tong Tong sneered. "You were sick for several days when I saw the battlefield. Don't try to find excuses for yourself. Have you been hiding all this time, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on me?"
Lu Yin hurriedly replied, "I wouldn't dare. Miss will always be Miss."
"It's good that you know. Forget about the fact that you're just a Limiteer, so what if you comprehend a domain? When it comes to domains, I comprehended them earlier than you. You'll always be my dog. Remember that!" Tong Tong barked as she stared coldly at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin replied, "Yes, Miss."
Tong Tong was satisfied. "I'm quite happy that you have such strength. If a dog is useless, then its master will lose face. Now, I'll give you a chance to enter the library and find me a good battle technique to learn. That way, you'll have more strength when you bite." She then gave Lu Yin a medallion.
Lu Yin accepted the medallion, and with Tong Tong's permission, he went to the library.
He had not expected to have such an unexpected gain. The library contained countless years of the Tong family's treasures. Although this mainland's library was less than a thousandth of the Tong family's library and was of the lowest grade, it was still pretty good. Lu Yin could learn more about the Sixth Mainland through these books.
However, Lu Yin was clearly overthinking things. The books that the Tong family had brought were all battle techniques, and they were of the lowest grade. Most of them had been snatched from the Starfall Sea, and they intended to use this battlefield to enrich the library and bring it back as spoils of war. There were very few books that had actually been taken from the main family.
Lu Yin flipped through a few and found that these battle techniques were very ordinary. It was likely that some of the more powerful battle techniques had been stored in other places or given to others.
He sighed, as these books were of no value to him.
When he reached a corner, he casually found a book and sat down to read it. He decided that he would leave soon, as he could not waste any more star essence.
At that moment, someone entered the library, and the conversation reached Lu Yin's ears. "I still need to do my best in this war. We're fighting against the people from the Fifth Mainland, and we have an innate suppressive force. With our imprints, we can easily win against people at the same level as us. It's too easy."
"That's right. I've heard that this pressure is coming from the mainland. The Fifth Mainland is collapsing, and without the support of the mainland, it's impossible to resist. We're basically invincible here, haha!"
"If it were up to me, I would have started this war a long time ago. Who knows, I might even be a Hunter by now."
"It's the same now. You and I are still young. We'll take advantage of this war to make a fortune. Some people in the family don't even dare to come. Trash."
"Those people heard about the Daosource Sect's ruins, and they became afraid. They thought that the Fifth Mainland was filled with people at the same level as the Ten Arbiters, but in reality, the Ten Arbiters are the top powerhouses of the entire Fifth Mainland's younger generation, and the gap between them and those below them is extremely large. It would already be a miracle if there were ten of them, so how could there be so many? Those people are just stupid."
"Speaking of which, the battlefield in the Daosource Sect's ruins is even more terrifying than this place. The war between the Ten Arbiters and the Realmlings is also very intense, and it's rumored that the Daosource Three Skies might go there."
"Why do I hear that the Daosource Three Skies will follow the Martial Ancestor to train?"
"I don't know, but the news is flying everywhere. One thing is certain: the Daosource Three Skies are about to appear."
"Those are the top powerhouses of our Sixth Mainland's younger generation. Who knows how powerful they are? I'm so envious."
…
An innate suppressive force?
Lu Yin thought about it. He had fought against the people from the Sixth Mainland, but he had not felt any innate suppression. Could it be because of the Daosource Sect's ruins?
"Right, have you heard that the higher-ups are preparing to open up a third battlefield?"
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, and he listened attentively without making a sound.
"A third battlefield?
With our Sixth Mainland's strength, we should be able to do it. After all, the main forces at the Mara River battlefield are from the Blackblood Realm and the Grand Martial Realm. The second battlefield will attack the Fifth Mainland's Astral Beast Domain, and the main forces will be from the Bloodburn Realm and the Stone Realm. There aren't many people from the other five realms, so they have plenty of power. But where will the third battlefield attack?
Although the Fifth Mainland is huge, as long as a Progenitor takes action, they should be able to flatten it quickly. We'll surround it from the east and west, and then we'll launch an all-out attack on their Neoverse. "
"The Fifth Mainland is divided into the Innerverse and Outerverse and the Neoverse. Even our Sixth Mainland doesn't know much about the Neoverse, but based on the average strength of the Fifth Mainland, they should be about the same. For the third battlefield, the higher-ups seem to be planning to attack their Outerverse."
Lu Yin was stunned.
"Aren't the Innerverse and Outerverse separated?"
"That's only for the Fifth Mainland. Our Sixth Mainland is connected to the Fifth Mainland not only by the Mara River and the Astral Beast Domain, but also by the Fifth Mainland's Technocracy. I've heard rumors that the Technocracy is controlled by a single mainframe. It's very small, but it's on par with the Human Domain and the Astral Beast Domain. Our Sixth Mainland also has a portion of that mainframe's authority, and it's through this authority that we understand a lot about the Fifth Mainland."
"Are you saying that the higher-ups plan to use the Technocracy to attack the Human Domain's Outerverse?"
"That's just hearsay. Others say that the higher-ups plan to join forces with the Astral Beast Domain to attack the Human Domain. Anyway, there's a lot of information."
"Then forget it. Let's just stay at the Mara River. It's not that easy to change the battlefield."
"That's true."
…
Lu Yin retracted his gaze and did not linger. He slapped his forehead and canceled the fusion. The scene in front of him changed, and when he opened his eyes again, he was back in the secret room in King Zishan's palace.
He stood up with a solemn expression, as the Technocracy's mainframe's authority had actually been controlled by the Sixth Mainland. Although it was not complete authority, it was still bad news for the Outerverse. The Technocracy was connected to the Outerverse, and through its Endless Weave, it could sweep through the Outerverse. The Outerverse's power was already struggling to resist the Astral Beast Domain, let alone the Sixth Mainland.
Lu Yin wanted to inform Elder Lohar and alert the Hall of Honor, but what reason could he use to do so?
Back then, he had been able to find out that the Primal Zone was isolated from the outside world, but the reason had already been very far-fetched. At that time, the war had been difficult, and no one had given it much thought, so they had gradually forgotten about it. Now, if Elder Lohar learned that the Sixth Mainland might be opening up a Third Battlefield, he would definitely be suspicious.
No, there's another way. Lu Yin's eyes lit up. He could use the Daosource Sect's ruins to spread the news to Elder Lohar. He could say that the Ten Arbiters had spoken, but Elder Lohar would not be able to verify it. By the time Elder Lohar could verify it, the Innerverse and Outerverse would have already been connected. Who knew what would happen then? Perhaps Lu Yin would have already become an Enlighter by then.
Lu Yin made his decision. Although the news of the Sixth Mainland opening up a Third Battlefield might not be true, he still needed to be prepared and be more vigilant against the Technocracy.
Now, he wanted to try the Skybeast Claw. Wait, how much did I use this time?
Lu Yin nervously opened his cosmic ring and glanced at its contents. He felt dizzy, as 150,000 star essence was gone. 150,000 star essence! Lu Yin grieved, as this was a rather large sum, and it was gone just like that. Back when he had fused with Tian Hou, he had only used 20,000 star essence.
Six pips on his die consumed too many star essence, and Lu Yin sighed. He had already used up a lot of star essence, so there was nothing he could do. He retracted his gaze and decided to earn more in the future. He would try the Skybeast Claw first.
Tong Chou's understanding of the Skybeast Claw surpassed Lu Yin's understanding of the 108 forms, as Lu Yin had only been cultivating the 108 forms for a few years. On the other hand, Tong Chou had obtained the claw imprint from a young age and even hugged it when he slept. Thus, his understanding of the Skybeast Claw was extraordinary.
Lu Yin's domain swept across King Zishan's palace, and when he found that no one was looking for him, he calmly sat down and recalled Tong Chou's understanding of the Skybeast Claw. Unknowingly, his palm had transformed into a claw, and the original 108 forms of the Skybeast Claw had undergone many changes.
Lu Yin's palm transformed into a claw that pierced through the void. The beastly roars grew louder and louder, shaking one's mind. The void around Lu Yin's five fingers trembled, and a faint claw mark appeared, followed by a terrifying fluctuation that caused one's heart to palpitate. It swept across King Zishan's palace and Zhao Ran. She looked up in confusion and blinked. It swept across Kayze, causing his scalp to go numb, and he almost went limp. The fluctuation's range grew wider and wider, and it gradually swept across all of Zenyu Star.
Many people felt an indescribable chill as well as an innate pressure. However, when they realized that it was coming from King Zishan's palace, they all quieted down and took it for granted.
Wendy Yushan looked up at King Zishan's palace. You're getting stronger and stronger. Did you obtain another battle technique?
This pressure carried a trace of vicissitudes, and it was definitely not an ordinary strength.
Lu Yin himself had not known that Tong Chou's understanding of the Skybeast Claw would be so terrifying when used by him.
He suddenly opened his eyes and forcefully dispelled the claw mark. He exhaled as fine beads of sweat dripped down his forehead. In that instant, he felt as if he had seen a giant claw crossing the river of time and descending upon him. Although it might have been an illusion caused by a battle technique, he did not dare to let the claw strike him. His intuition told him that this was no joke.
He looked at his own palm. He had not even fully unleashed Tong Chou's understanding of the Skybeast Claw, but it was already so terrifying. What would happen if he fully unleashed it?
Perhaps it would not be any weaker than the Dream Finger!
Lu Yin's eyes brightened, as he had inadvertently obtained another powerful battle technique. What he had seen at Stargazing Deck had not been false. The claw mark had been able to penetrate deep into the giant ark, which meant that it had definitely come from a terrifying powerhouse. He had also indirectly comprehended an inheritance.
Unfortunately, it would have been great if Tong Chou's stone tablet had been given to him. After all, Tong Chou was only a Limiteer, and there was a limit to how much he could comprehend. If it had been Lu Yin himself, he believed that the Skybeast Claw would have had room for improvement.
As for the 108 forms of the Skybeast Claw, he had already merged them into one. Compared to Tong Chou's understanding of the Skybeast Claw, the 108 forms were a joke.
If Tong Chou had not been so cowardly and dared to use the Skybeast Claw in battle, then his strength would definitely not have been weak. Of course, if one wanted to fully unleash the Skybeast Claw, they needed to have a physical body, which Tong Chou did not have. Thus, all of Tong Chou's comprehension had been for Lu Yin's benefit.
It was no wonder that ball of light had been so bright and had attracted Lu Yin's attention.
Thank you!
Little Cannon
Brother's reward, I'll give it to you, thank you!
