"A bunch of trash that's just waiting to die. So what if you're an Enlighter? You're just a heavily injured old man." The youth's gaze turned sinister as an old woman with a sinister expression appeared behind him. It was an imprint.
The old man's eyes widened when he saw the imprint, and he immediately attacked.
The youth snorted, and a martial imprint appeared on his palm.
Just like the Progenitor of Blood Territory's bloodlines, the Progenitor of Martial Territory also had martial imprints that were comparable to bloodlines. All cultivators from the Progenitor of Martial Territory could cultivate martial imprints and fuse all of their battle techniques and techniques into them. They could be fused onto the surface of one's body to increase one's power level, or they could be materialized to suppress their surroundings. This youth had fused his martial imprint onto his palm.
There was a thump, and the youth retreated a dozen steps as a crack appeared on his martial imprint. The old Enlighter also retreated a dozen steps.
The Sixth Mainland's cultivators suppressed their power levels to below 200,000, and the old man was also heavily injured. Coupled with the natural suppression that the Fifth Mainland's cultivators had over the Sixth Mainland's cultivators, he quickly fell into a disadvantage.
The old man was already heavily injured, and his battle with the youth had only worsened his injuries. Due to his carelessness, the youth managed to close in on him. "Shadowless Crafty Needles." The old man's eyes narrowed as countless thin needles shot out from the youth's palm and pierced through the void. The old man tried his best to avoid them, but because he was too close, he was unable to avoid all of them and was hit by a few.
The thin needles pierced his body and caused him extreme pain. The needles were also coated with poison.
The old man howled and glared angrily at the youth. He then unleashed his full power, and his power level immediately exceeded 200,000. He displayed the strength that an Enlighter should possess.
However, at this moment, the boiling energy in the sky was drawn down and enveloped the old man. In an instant, the old man was reduced to dust and vanished from outer space. His entire body had been erased by an indescribable power.
The youth looked up in fear, as this scene was not unfamiliar to him. If not for this terrifying scene, the Sixth Mainland would have completely occupied the Innerverse long ago. The youth snorted. "Keep chasing."
With a whoosh, the spacecraft charged out of the crack. Lu Yin and Hai Qiqi had finally returned to the Innerverse after four years.
Hai Qiqi was excited.
Lu Yin immediately looked up to see the so-called boiling energy.
Boundless rune lines entered his eyes. They were different from the rune lines he usually saw. At this moment, the rune lines that entered his eyes were filled with runes. They weren't rune lines that were drawn out by his fighting strength. They looked like real runes.
He had seen these runes once before, back in the Astral Combat Academy's Dao of Purgatory's Sky Platform. When he had reached the top of the Sky Platform, he had seen these runes, and it was at that time that his eyes had changed.
The Sky Platform was the ruins of Rune Technology, and it represented the most orthodox Rune Technology. Then, what was this?
Could it be Rune Technology?
Didn't that mean the one fighting against the Martial Progenitor was the Symbol Progenitor?
It wasn't Ancestor Chen like the rumors said?
If it was the power of the Symbol Ancestor, then a fighting strength that exceeded 200,000 didn't just represent his fighting strength. It also represented his influence on the universe.
Battle strength was the number of rune lines, and rune lines were not just battle strength.
When he thought of this, he hurriedly put the universal armor away.
If he wore the universal armor, the moment someone attacked him, his armor's influence would immediately exceed 200,000, and he would be finished.
He had experienced the terror of Rune Technology on the Sky Platform. It wasn't an attack, but it was even more terrifying. It was an existence that could directly erase the rune lines.
"Qiqi, I'll use your Super Flash.
Don't use the tear bomb. Remember, don't use it, "Lu Yin sternly warned Hai Qiqi.
Hai Qiqi was confused.
In terms of power, the Super Flash couldn't be used.
It was impossible for a tear bomb to have a combat power of 200,000. However, its instantaneous flash had an effect of more than 200,000. This meant that once it was used, its rune lines would exceed 200,000 combat power. Using it would be suicide.
Of course, this was all based on the premise that the boiling energy above was the Symbol Progenitor's power. If it wasn't, then it would be fine.
However, Lu Yin was 90% sure that it was the Rune Technology, which was the Symbol Progenitor's power.
"Lu Yin, look! There's someone up ahead!" Hai Qiqi exclaimed as she pointed into the distance.
Lu Yin looked over and saw that it was a space-exploring powerhouse. Based on his rune lines, he was an Explorer. "Let's go and take a look. Right, don't call me by my name in front of outsiders. We can't let anyone know our true identities. Otherwise, the Sixth Mainland might invade the Outerverse through the crack."
Hai Qiqi understood the severity of the situation, and she nodded obediently without explaining herself.
The figure drew closer and closer, and it was the young master who had escaped.
Outer space was vast, but there was no place for him to stand. He looked back and saw that the spacecraft was getting closer and closer.
A man and a woman appeared in front of him.
The young master's eyes were filled with despair. Only someone from the Sixth Mainland would dare to appear in outer space.
He hadn't expected that he would still be unable to escape death. But even if he died, he didn't want to die in vain. At least he had to drag one of them down with him. He gritted his teeth and charged forward.
Lu Yin looked at the man rushing over and felt that he looked familiar. He could sense that the man's star energy had circulated twice, but his power level was over 20,000. He was not an ordinary cultivator who could fight across realms.
The newcomer quickly charged at Lu Yin. He could sense that Lu Yin was a three-cycle Explorer while Hai Qiqi was a two-cycle Explorer. If they were both from the Innerverse, he wouldn't have been afraid. After all, he was the young master of Astral Mountain and was a powerhouse within the same realm. He would even dare to fight against a Cruiser, but this was a cultivator from the Sixth Mainland.
With an innate suppression and an imprint, he knew that his chances of survival were slim, but so what? He was prepared to fight to the death.
"He looks like he's going to attack us." Hai Qiqi was puzzled.
Lu Yin took a step forward, and the young master pulled out a long blade that was covered in purple battle force. It was four-lined battle force.
There were very few people in the universe who could comprehend battle force, let alone someone who had cultivated it to four-lined battle force. This person was not simple, and even in the entire Astral Combat Academy, he was at least an Area Master.
There was a shout as a blade image slashed down, bringing with it a silver astral ring. The purple battle force caused the void to ripple, and this attack was enough to strike fear into an ordinary Cruiser.
The young master had thought that the two in front of him would definitely use their imprints, but what happened next left him in disbelief, and he even began to doubt himself.
His blade had been caught, and the man had caught the blade with his bare hands. His expression didn't change, and his opponent hadn't even taken half a step back despite his full-strength attack.
There was a crack as the blade cracked and shattered into fragments that scattered through space.
"Not a bad attack," Lu Yin commented as he held another fragment in his hand.
The young master was stunned. How was this possible?
Could it be?
"You're also an Imprinter's disciple?" the young master asked in despair.
Lu Yin looked past the young master and at the spacecraft that was slowly coming to a stop not too far away. There were many rune lines on the spacecraft, and one of them was at the level of a Hunter. An expert had arrived.
The young master slowly turned around and closed his eyes. He had wanted to find a scapegoat before his death, but he had failed. He gripped the broken hilt of his blade tightly, extremely unwilling to accept his fate.
A youth walked out from the spacecraft. It was the same person who had just killed the old Enlighter.
The youth's gaze was arrogant as he looked at the young master. His gaze then landed on Lu Yin and Hai Qiqi. "Which region are you from?
Show your imprint. "An old woman's phantom appeared behind him. It was an imprint.
Only cultivators from the Sixth Mainland had imprints. This was how the Sixth Mainland identified each other, so there was no mistake about it.
In the Innerverse battlefield, there was an unwritten rule that everyone from the Sixth Mainland had to show their imprints if they couldn't confirm the other party's identity.
Everyone was waiting for Lu Yin to show his imprint.
Lu Yin blinked. "You're not worthy."
The young master was stunned.
The youth who had chased after Lu Yin was stunned as well.
Hai Qiqi was astonished, as these words were quite powerful.
The youth's face sank, and his lips curled up into a cruel smile. "So it's another native from the Fifth Mainland. I never thought that there would be someone like you in the Fifth Mainland. You dare to openly appear in this region of space and even dare to speak to my Gui Bing in such a manner. You've got guts."
The young master looked at Lu Yin in shock. "You're not from the Sixth Mainland?"
"Everyone, surround them! Don't even think about leaving!" Gui Bing barked as he suddenly charged at Lu Yin with an imprint on his back. He raised his hand, and Shadowless Crafty Needles shot out from his palm. They were extremely small, and if one wasn't paying attention, they wouldn't even be able to see them. Furthermore, Gui Bing had shot out a hundred needles, just like how he had dealt with the old Enlighter.
The young master was terrified. "Dodge!"
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. Each of the hundred needles had a power level of tens of thousands of rune lines. More importantly, each needle was coated in a highly toxic poison. It was a vicious attack that most Cruisers wouldn't be able to withstand. However, this attack couldn't even break through Lu Yin's defenses.
Lu Yin allowed the hundred needles to strike his body, and blue lines appeared on his body along with purplish-red battle force. This was eight lined battle force.
The moment that eight lined battle force appeared, the young master was stunned. He had already cultivated four lines of battle force, and he was well aware that the gap between battle force grew larger as one progressed. Eight lined battle force wasn't something that he could even look up to. According to his sect's seniors' speculations, even if he became a Hunter, he wouldn't be able to cultivate eight lined battle force. This person was so young, yet he was already so terrifying.
Gui Bing was also shocked. The Sixth Mainland didn't care about battle force or domains, but that didn't mean that they didn't understand them. Anyone who could cultivate eight lined battle force was a powerhouse.
Lu Yin didn't give the young master any time to think. He used Flash to disappear from where he was, and in the next instant, he appeared in front of Gui Bing and reached out to grab him.
Gui Bing sneered, and a strange imprint appeared on his palm. It was a martial imprint, and he similarly grabbed at Lu Yin.
There was a thump, and the young master's confident palm was replaced by an intense pain. His palm had been firmly grabbed by Lu Yin, and the martial imprint on his palm had completely shattered. He had been crushed.
The young master was in disbelief. This was impossible! Lu Yin was an Imprinter's disciple, and he had both an imprint and a martial imprint. He even had a natural suppression over cultivators from the Fifth Mainland. How could this be?
"You! Who are you?" Gui Bing barked and kicked out in an attempt to put some distance between them.
However, his body was uncontrollably flipped over by Lu Yin, and he fell to one knee as he spat out a mouthful of blood. At this moment, the surrounding cultivators from the Sixth Mainland hurriedly acted, but they were unable to resist Lu Yin's domain, and they were all killed.
