After the fatty left, Yan Cheng looked at Autumnfrost Qing and said gently, "You heard what I said, right? I hope you won't make things difficult for him."
Autumnfrost Qing smiled. "Thank you for your help, senior. Don't worry, this person is already worthless in my eyes. I won't do anything to him." After saying that, he looked at Yan Xiaojing and greedily glanced at her body. This woman was going to be his.
Reinforcements from various regions of the Outerverse arrived at the borders of Endless Weave, and the six major cliffs reorganized their defenses.
Ironblood Cliff District held a war council, and Lu Yin was invited to participate.
Regardless of whether it was in terms of strength or status, Lu Yin was qualified to join the meeting. He was no longer the insignificant cultivator that he had been back in Ironblood Weave.
There were currently two Enlighters in the Ironblood Cliffs District, and they were Commander Limbo and Moonlight Mavis. Aside from them, there were about thirty other Hunters.
Only Hunters were qualified to participate in this meeting, and Aden and Wendy Yushan were also included in the list. This was because they had the strength to resist a Hunter.
Lu Yin's ranking was second only to Zhi and Yue Mavis, and no one dared to raise any objections, especially since he had killed an Enlighter as soon as he had stepped onto the battlefield, shocking the entire Ironblood Cliff District.
The dozens of Hunters below watched as Lu Yin took a seat that was second only to Yuehua Mavis, and they all gasped in amazement. This person was a legend in the universe, and it was likely that he had killed more Enlighters than the commander himself.
Lu Yin glanced around and could not help but sigh. If all of these people were under his command, then the Great Eastern Alliance would be able to sweep through the entire central weave.
This was only one of the six major rocky regions. At this point, the entire border defense line had gathered all of the Outerverse's strength.
The strategy meeting was very simple. It was just about assigning each person a place to guard. The entire defensive line spanned across the Endless Territories. Apart from the six cliff regions, there was also the Black Flame Rock Continent in the middle. These places all needed to be guarded.
However, there were rules to follow. They just had to follow the previous arrangements.
"The most important thing now is that the three rock areas have collapsed before. The Black Fire Rocks are not enough to cover the defense line. We need to transport them. Everyone, who can take on the task of transporting them?" Zui asked as he glanced at everyone.
He and Moonlight Mavis couldn't move, especially Moonlight Mavis, who bore the heavy responsibility of resisting the Imprinter.
Everyone subconsciously looked at Lu Yin, as he was the only one among them who had the strength to do so.
Crossing the Rocky Regions was extremely dangerous. The Technocracy had been keeping a close eye on the defensive line this entire time, doing everything they could to completely separate the six Rocky Regions so that they could not support each other. Thus, whenever someone tried to cross the Rocky Regions, they would be attacked.
"I'll do it," Aden said. After he had entered the battlefield, he had been able to withstand the attacks of several peak Hunters from the Sixth Mainland. His position was extremely close to the front, and he had even blocked an Enlighter.
Zhi shook his head. "Only Enlighters can cross the Stony Zones. The Technocracy won't target the cultivators who are guarding the Blackfire Boulder Continent, but they'll target the cultivators who are trying to cross the Stony Zones. Crossing the Stony Zones is extremely dangerous, and just relying on defenses isn't enough."
He then looked at Lu Yin. "Alliance Master Lu, are you willing to take on this heavy responsibility?"
Lu Yin did not refuse. "Alright."
"Thank you, Alliance Leader Lu."
There were some people that he could order around, but there were others that he could not. Zhi was an instructor of Astral-9, and he understood this principle. Besides, Lu Yin was from Astral-10, and although there was competition between the two academies, they were still part of the same organization. Zhi had a good impression of Lu Yin, especially since Lu Yin had just saved Liu Yin and the others.
If possible, Zhi would not have wanted Lu Yin to go, but he had no other choice. If the three Rocky Regions lacked Blackfire Boulder, then there would be no way to prevent the Technocracy from investigating. The entire Endless Weave would be exposed to the Technocracy, which would be very disadvantageous for them.
"That's how war is. It's a matter of life and death, and someone has to be sacrificed. This includes me, the commander. I've already changed dozens of times, so it's very normal. Thus, I hope that everyone can put aside their past grudges and work together to protect the Ironblood Boulder Region and the human border's defensive line," Zhi announced loudly as he stood up.
Everyone stood up. "Even if I die, I have no regrets."
Even if I die, I have no regrets. Over the countless years, countless corpses had been buried at the border, and it was impossible to count them all. Participating in border wars was not for glory, but rather to protect humanity.
This was the most basic understanding.
Lu Yin felt the same way. No matter how dangerous it was, he had to complete the delivery mission.
Zhi handed him ten cosmic rings, each of which had a similar range as his own. Each ring could store an entire mountain range, so ten of them were equivalent to ten Blackfire Boulder mountain ranges.
"These are just the ones that we're sending over. The other Rocky Regions have also sent over some Blackfire Boulder, which should be enough to completely replenish the three Rocky Regions," Zhi said.
Lu Yin nodded and bid farewell to Aden and Wendy Yushan. His figure flashed as he followed the Blackfire Boulder landmass towards the Honor Cliff Region. The three Rocky Regions were west of the Honor Cliff Region.
He only needed to deliver the cosmic rings to the Honor Cliff Region, and then the Honor Cliff Region would send someone to escort him to the Third Rocky Regions. He did not need to go to the Third Rocky Regions himself.
The distance between the Ironblood Boulder Region and the Honor Cliff Region was very long, and it was equivalent to dividing the border between the Endless Weave and the Technocracy into six sections. Lu Yin had to cross a sixth of the distance, which was about the length of an entire region.
If he flew alone, it would take him a very long time to cross this distance, and even if he flew for a long time, he still could not reach the speed of an Enlighter. Fortunately, there were wormholes within the defensive line that allowed him to cross a large distance.
Lu Yin left the Ironblood Boulder Region and flew towards the wormholes.
His whereabouts were immediately detected by the Technocracy. The Technocracy was very vigilant against people from the Rocky Regions, and they wanted to completely eliminate any assistance between the Rocky Regions.
The Technocracy frequently bombarded wormholes, so their locations often changed.
Lu Yin's figure flickered as he rapidly advanced across the Blackfire Boulder landmass. Several hours had already passed, and he was not too far from the wormholes.
Patrolling troops passed by the Blackfire Boulder landmass from time to time, and as soon as they discovered any enemies, the troops would immediately attack each other.
Everything around him was black, and it was as if he was exposed to outer space.
Lu Yin got closer and closer to the wormholes, and when he looked up and saw that he had not encountered any attacks, he heaved a sigh of relief. Up ahead, he saw a wormhole and leapt in.
Only space-exploring powerhouses could traverse wormholes with their physical bodies. Lu Yin felt the space tearing at his body, but it was only a little numb, and there were no major problems.
His body felt light, and the scene in front of him changed. He had arrived at a wormhole that was very close to the Honor Cliff Region. Suddenly, beams of light swept down from the sky, and each beam had rune lines that neared the peak of a Hunter's. In particular, there were Enlighters' rune lines that did not originate from the beams, but instead descended along with them.
Without the rune lines, Lu Yin would not have been able to detect them.
He easily dodged the beams and kept a close eye on the Enlighter's rune lines.
The beams fiercely bombarded the Blackfire Boulder landmass, attracting the attention of the defenders.
Lu Yin shouted, "Don't come over!" The next moment, a strange, palm-sized cyborg flapped its wings and charged towards Lu Yin without leaving a trace. Its speed was so fast that it tore through the void.
Lu Yin shivered, and he put on his universal armor. Then, he wielded the rebound pearl and swatted at the cyborg. The cyborg had not expected to be discovered by Lu Yin, and its body turned into a ray of light as it slammed into the rebound pearl. A similar force surged out from the rebound pearl and sent the cyborg flying.
The cyborg's rune lines immediately decreased, and it seemed that it only had enough power for a single attack.
Lu Yin was puzzled, and he quickly reached out to grab the cyborg. At this moment, the cyborg's rune lines had already decreased to the level of an Explorer, and they were still decreasing.
However, just as Lu Yin was about to grab the cyborg, it exploded and turned into dust.
The army immediately rushed over, and the leader was a middle-aged Hunter. The entire group of soldiers surrounded Lu Yin.
"Who are you?"
Lu Yin revealed his identity, and the Hunter's expression changed. "So it's a powerhouse from the Ironblood Cliffs. Did you cross the Cliffs to come here?"
Lu Yin nodded and squatted down to look at the cyborg's corpse. He picked up a half-burned chip and looked at it curiously.
The Hunter did not dare to disturb Lu Yin, and he led the army to guard the area. He looked at Lu Yin with a gaze full of respect.
Crossing the Cliffs was a taboo in the Technocracy, and anyone who dared to cross the Cliffs would be killed by the Technocracy. This was done in an attempt to cut off communication between the various Cliffs.
If one wanted to communicate, they would have to take a detour to the Endless Weaves, and it was impossible to do so through the Blackfire Boulder.
Lu Yin dared to cross the Cliffs, which was worthy of respect for these border guards.
Lu Yin tossed the chip away, as he could not understand it. He nodded at the Hunter and then quickly headed towards the Glorious Cliffs.
There were only a few hours left before he reached the Glorious Cliffs.
At this moment, a bitter battle was taking place in the Glorious Cliffs.
Although Mo Jiangshan had been burned by the Dark Phoenix Clan's ancestor and could not participate in the battle, the Bloodburn Realm had more than just Imprinters. There were also terrifying powerhouses with power levels of over 200,000, 300,000, and even 400,000.
The space in the Glorious Cliffs had been torn apart, and black holes of various sizes were devouring each other.
The commander, Elder Big Drum, and Mister Yi, who had come as reinforcements, were stained with blood, and they were having a difficult time resisting the onslaught. Aside from them, the Hall of Honor also had an Enlighter defending the area. Even with the three of them working together, they were still on the verge of collapse.
On the mainland of the Glorious Cliffs, countless cyborgs frantically shot out beams of light that swept across the land in an attempt to completely destroy the Blackfire Boulder.
Zi Rong had encountered a powerful opponent, Mo Jiangxiao, one of the direct descendants of Mo Jiang's bloodline. Although he was only a Cruiser with a power level of 80,000, that was under normal circumstances. Mo Jiangxiao had imprinted Ancestor Mo Jiang and used the Mo Jiang bloodline's battle techniques and bloodline. Coupled with a power vessel, he was evenly matched with Zi Rong.
Zi Rong was a Hunter with a power level of 150,000, and his Army of a Thousand Slash was enough to shock even Enlighters. However, he was being held back by Mo Jiangxiao.
Mo Jiangxiao reminded Zi Rong of Lu Yin, who was also an innate genius.
On the other side, Lilac Snow had encountered an opponent. It was a young woman from Mo Jiang's bloodline. She giggled as she slashed Lilac Snow's body, and her hook-shaped weapon was laced with poison. She stared coldly at Lilac Snow and said, "Next time, I'll cut your pretty face and see if any man likes you." After she spoke, the hook-shaped weapon indifferently blossomed with a dark brown light. The woman's blood dripped onto the weapon, and the light grew more and more intense.
