The flames completely disappeared, and Lu Yin looked up and exhaled. He would be able to leave once the time limit was up. Just in case, he was prepared to take out his futon at any moment. If anything went wrong, he could immediately sit on it and escape. He had no other choice, but it was better than dying together.
The scene in front of him changed, and Lu Yin appeared in his universal armor at the mouth of the cannon. At this moment, the energy cannon was rapidly approaching. Behind him, Moonlight Mavis and the others were pale. They had not placed any hopes on Lu Yin, and giving him their cosmic rings had only been an act of desperation. How strong could an Explorer be? Even if he relied on external items, he would at most be able to contend against an Enlighter with a power level of over 200,000. However, the energy cannon's power level was at least 400,000.
Everyone despaired. Outside the Myriad Cities Continent, space rumbled as the pressure caused the surrounding planets to tremble and volcanoes to erupt.
Everyone in the Myriad Cities Continent felt as if something unimaginably terrifying was being born underground. Auffman, Starfox, Wei Rong, and Sister Leng had no choice but to take to the skies as they felt the pressure of the heavens.
Lu Yin stared at the energy cannon as rune lines filled the sky. He made a quick comparison, and his gaze turned solemn. It should be able to withstand the attack. The energy cannon's power level definitely did not reach 500,000, and it was at most 400,000. Lu Yin's universal armor should be able to withstand it.
There was a whoosh, and everything in front of him was replaced by a red light. An unimaginably scorching heat accompanied by a terrifying pressure descended and instantly bombarded Lu Yin's body. Lu Yin stood in front of everyone and roared as the intense heat passed through his universal armor and into his body, causing his skin to start tearing apart.
Moonlight Mavis and the others were shocked. Lu Yin had actually blocked the energy cannon's attack by himself? How was this possible?
Had he really done it?
There was a whoosh, but Lu Yin had not completely blocked the energy cannon's attack. He had only blocked half of it, and there was still a small portion that had brushed past his body and attacked his back. It enveloped Moonlight Mavis and the others, and Tyler Phineas was vaporized without even being able to scream. Mr. Jun was next, but he was also vaporized after blocking the attack for a moment.
Most of the others were Enlighters, and only Lu Yin, Saul, and Cai Jianqiang were not Enlighters who had survived.
Cai Jianqiang continuously waved his palms as his nine-lined battle force enveloped him. Berserk star energy transformed into shockwaves that resisted the energy cannon's shockwaves. Saul continuously retreated, and although he was in a sorry state, he was able to gradually dissolve the energy cannon's shockwaves. The other Enlighters had an easier time resisting the attack.....
If not for Lu Yin standing at the front, everyone would have been vaporized just like Taylor.
.................. a...............................................................
The scorching heat seeped into the armor through the crack, and Lu Yin gritted his teeth as he felt an unbearable pain. His physical body was withstanding a pressure that could vaporize a powerhouse with a power level in the hundreds of thousands. He had no choice but to take out a rebound pearl and place it next to the crack.
..... of.............. to.............. an attack...........
Even though the pearl blocked the crack, as time passed, more and more cracks would appear, and he would die without a doubt.
Lu Yin inexplicably discovered that the energy that had invaded his armor could be absorbed, and a thought flashed through his mind. Could this energy be star energy?
Was it a terrifying destructive force that had been compressed to the extreme?
If it was star energy, then wouldn't he be able to absorb it?
The star energy that had been compressed to the extreme was essentially the same as the star energy from the natural treasures that had been burned in the Daosource Sect's furnace. Furthermore, this place was similar to a furnace.
Lu Yin's eyes flickered, but he decided to give it a try. But before that, he crushed the jade. If anything happened, Mister Mu should be able to rescue him in time. With the universal armor and the pearl, he should be able to hold on for half a minute.
He shifted the pearl slightly, and the scorching heat seeped through the universal armor. Lu Yin howled in pain as his body turned red from the heat. He activated the Sirius Art and frantically absorbed the heat. The crazy heat was absorbed by Lu Yin through the crack. He had guessed correctly, as the energy cannon had been compressed from countless star essence, and it was essentially star energy.
This high-temperature compressed star energy was similar to the star energy that had been burned into a gaseous state by a furnace, and it was even easier to absorb. Even though he was only absorbing it through the crack, it formed a star energy vortex that was madly devoured by Lu Yin.
If Lu Yin's absorption speed had been 40,000 times faster than a normal cultivator's when he had been in the Daosource Sect's furnace, then his current absorption speed was even higher. This was because this star energy had been compressed to the extreme, and it had been transformed into the most suitable form for absorption.
Generally speaking, it was impossible for anyone to absorb it, as the power of the energy cannon's instantaneous explosion was enough to vaporize any powerhouse. Powerhouses who could directly withstand such power would not need to absorb it, but Lu Yin had blocked it and even absorbed it through the crack.
Behind him, Yuehua Mavis and the others struggled to resist the energy cannon's shockwaves.
As for Lu Yin, he continued to resist while absorbing star energy.
On the other side, the Specter expert stared at the screen in confusion. He had not been able to see the situation inside the cannon muzzle after the energy cannon had exploded. Why had the cannon not been fired yet?
Had it been too long, and it had broken down?
Was it stuck?
The energy cannon's instantaneous explosion was too powerful, but once it was blocked, its power would gradually decline.
Half a minute, one minute, two minutes.
The crack on the universal armor continued to expand. Fortunately, the rebound pearl's existence helped Lu Yin absorb most of the pressure, and the crack's expansion helped him absorb star energy.
He did not know how fast he was absorbing star energy, but it definitely surpassed what he had experienced in the Daosource Sect's ruins. He could clearly feel the third cycle in his body. He had thought that it would take a long time to complete, but at this moment, he felt that it would be completed very quickly. Once he completed the third cycle, he would be one step closer to becoming a Cruiser.
The red light was the only color that everyone could see. After an unknown amount of time, the Specter expert could not wait any longer and ordered a second wave of energy cannons to be fired. However, he discovered that he did not have enough star essence.
Inside the cannon muzzle, the energy cannon's power had clearly decreased. Now, it could only reach a power level of 350,000.
Many more cracks appeared on his universal armor. If it had been like this from the beginning, then it definitely would not have been able to block the energy cannon's attack. Now, however, it could block the weakened energy cannon.
Lu Yin managed to block the energy cannon for a full ten minutes.
Within his body, the third cycle had been completed.
This time, the speed at which he absorbed star energy was no longer something that could be measured by a multiplier. This was a different type of absorption method, and it was more similar to the Imbuement Technique. The combination of luck and the right conditions had created an excellent opportunity for him to complete the third cycle.
The energy cannon's power level had been completely weakened, and its power level was now less than 200,000.
Lu Yin punched out, and the energy cannon's attack was canceled out as it headed underground.
Behind him, Yuehua Mavis and the others stared at Lu Yin in shock. They were all in a sorry state, but at this moment, they all stared at Lu Yin. This person had actually blocked an attack with a power level of more than 400,000. How had he done it?
Lu Yin shouted, "Hurry up and run! We definitely won't be able to block another attack."
Everyone seemed to wake up from a dream, and the Flame Engineer said, "Go underground."
"Why don't we go to the cannon muzzle?
We can go out directly, "Hugh Fenias said.
The Flame Engineer snickered. "If it was that easy to escape, then this wouldn't be an Ancient War Fort. The closer to the exit, the harder it will be to escape." He then brushed past Lu Yin and rushed underground.
Yuehua Mavis glanced at Lu Yin and also rushed down.
Villa Mistress Lian and Zhu Tiezhu followed closely behind.
Hugh Fenias could only follow, and he glanced at Lu Yin with boundless killing intent and apprehension. This person could not be left alive.
Saul and Cai Jianqiang looked at each other, and then they brushed past Lu Yin and rushed down as well.
Lu Yin stopped Cai Jianqiang and handed him a cosmic ring. "This is yours."
Cai Jianqiang took the cosmic ring and solemnly said, "You saved my life, and I'll remember that." He then rushed down as well.
Lu Yin exhaled and looked at his universal armor, which was covered in cracks. He would have to find a replacement when he returned. The armor's defenses were high, and even with the cracks, it could still withstand an attack with a power level of more than 300,000. However, that was only against energy cannons. Against an Enlighter's battle technique, the cracks would be nothing more than a suicide mission.
Yuehua Mavis and the rest tried to find a way to escape from the cannon. Underground, the Specter Clan expert left to search for star essence in the City Lord's Mansion. He was going to fire another cannon, and he did not believe that he would not be able to exterminate those people.
After the Specter Clan expert left, someone sneaked in. It was Zhu San.
The Zhu family had been in Myriad City for many years, and they understood the city better than anyone else. The Zhu family's ancestor had immediately discovered that Qiong Xi'er was being controlled, and the Zhu family naturally had their own methods of infiltrating the City Lord's Mansion.
However, if not for the Neohuman Alliance's attack, the Zhu family would not have been exposed so quickly.
Even if the Neohuman Alliance's attack had failed, the Zhu family would not be able to stay in Myriad City any longer, as the Qiong family would not agree.
Zhu San sneaked underground, and he only needed to make a turn to reach the control room where Qiong Xi'er was controlling Myriad City.
Just as Zhu San was about to enter, his expression changed. Qiong Xi'er, who should have been controlled by the Specter Clan expert, had actually moved on her own. Her eyes were clear, and she was not being controlled at all.
"Who's there?"
Qiong Xi'er barked, and she looked in Zhu San's direction. She stretched out her right hand, and her fingers curled into a strange pattern as she pointed in the direction where Zhu San was hiding.
If Lu Yin could see Qiong Xi'er's finger at this moment, he would definitely be shocked. Qiong Xi'er was clearly a Limiteer, but her finger was able to erupt with a power that could rival an expert on the Top 100 Rankings. Although it could not reach the power level that Lu Yin had when he had been a Limiteer, it was not far off.
Zhu San was overwhelmed. "Xi'er, it's me."
Qiong Xi'er's gaze was cold, and her fingertips formed a strange pattern as she pointed at Zhu San. She did not hesitate at all, and her killing intent was awe-inspiring. Zhu San's eyes narrowed, and he stared at Qiong Xi'er's finger as it neared him. At the last moment, he shifted his body and dodged it. Qiong Xi'er's finger tapped the wall, leaving behind a strange mark.
