The red-tasseled spear fell from the sky, and all of the red tassels on the spear's body disappeared.
This power vessel was unique because of the tassels. Now that the tassels were gone, it could only be a normal weapon. At most, the material would be tougher.
Lu Yin had originally wanted to use his die's Enhance to upgrade it, but after some thought, he decided against it. After all, this was a power vessel created by a super powerhouse from the Sixth Mainland. Who knew if it would be summoned by an enemy during a battle? And if he kept it, would it become a clue for his enemies to track him down?
He had no idea how to deal with powerhouses above the Emissary level.
Helpless, Lu Yin broke the spear in two and threw it away.
Not long after, a large group of cultivators from the Sixth Mainland arrived at Lesser Crimson Yellow Planet, but there was no trace of Lu Yin's group.
Hong Ying's defeat caused quite a stir in the Sixth Mainland, especially in the Grand Martial Realm.
According to her, her opponent was very young and should be from the Fifth Mainland's younger generation.
If he wasn't from the younger generation, then it wouldn't have caused such a stir. After all, powerhouses with power levels of over 200,000, 300,000, or even 400,000 would be able to display extraordinary strength if they suppressed their power levels to less than 200,000. Defeating Hong Ying wasn't too surprising, but if it was someone from the younger generation, then things would be different.
Youths had their own battles, and they were all competing against people from the same generation. If Hong Ying had been defeated by someone from the Fifth Mainland's younger generation, then that meant that a powerhouse who was at least a Marquis had appeared. The rewards for killing a Titled powerhouse from the Fifth Mainland were extremely high.
In the Starfall Sea, on the Tong family's mainland, Tong Zhan opened his eyes with a strange expression. "He defeated Hong Ying?
Very young?
Interesting. Aside from those people from the Grayweed Continent, there's still someone like that in the universe?
I hope it's not someone from the older generation, or else it'll be too boring. "
Elsewhere, in the depths of the Starfall Sea, on the Grayweed Continent, there was a mountain stronghold surrounded by mountains. Many cultivators had gathered here to resist the Sixth Mainland's invasion.
The entire Grayweed Continent was engulfed in the flames of war, and countless experts from the Sixth Mainland had arrived, bringing with them despair.
Many cultivators had spontaneously organized themselves to resist.
At this moment, many of the cultivators in the mountain stronghold looked up at the sky, where a woman stood with a cold gaze.
None of the cultivators below dared to speak, and their eyes were filled with despair. One of the elders was an Enlighter, and he, too, despaired as he looked at the woman in the sky.
"Let's make a move...
"That's the only way."
Many cultivators were discussing in low voices. As more and more voices were heard, strange arcs appeared in the air. These arcs were voices. The voices of these people turned into forms visible to the naked eye and then combined to form all kinds of creatures. Some were like birds, some were like bees, and some were like ants.
The cultivators noticed this strange scene and retreated in unison. Then, all the sounds they made formed an arc.
"The Grand Martial Realm's Realmling, Bai Ling. Once the martial seal appears, all birds will fly away, and all traces of humans will vanish," a cultivator muttered to himself as he fearfully stared at the sky. Then, he suddenly knelt down. "I surrender."
After the first person knelt down, the others followed suit.
The Enlighter elder was furious. "This is the Grayweed Continent, and it's our territory. Don't be underestimated by our enemies. Stand up."
High up in the sky, the woman lowered her head. There was no emotion in her eyes. As a cold glint flashed in her eyes, the strange creatures formed by sound exploded at the same time, turning into a strange sound wave that swept over everyone.
All the cultivators were dumbfounded, as if they had lost their consciousness. Their entire bodies were motionless.
Even the Enlighter elder was the same. So what if he was an Enlighter with a power level of over 200,000? Against a Realmling's attack, he was still powerless.
Even if an Enlighter attacked at full strength, he might not be a match for a Realmling, let alone someone with a power level below 200,000.
Bai Ling, the Realmling, had killed a cultivator from one of the strongholds with a single attack.
"I found the wrong person again. Where is he hiding?" Bai Ling felt strange and muttered to herself.
After a long time, Bai Ling disappeared, and a young man appeared outside the stronghold. His face was pale, and his eyes were cold and emotionless. He looked just like a corpse, and there were two people following behind him. Their footsteps and movements were exactly the same, and even their breathing was the same. However, these two people did not have any auras, so they were clearly dead.
"I was a step too late. What a pity. Judging by the state of these corpses, Bai Ling must have been here. How annoying. There's no one to talk to again."
"I'm a dignified corpse collector from the Grand Martial Realm's morgue, but I can't even find someone to talk to. Everywhere I go, there are corpses. It's really strange. Do I have some sort of fate with corpses? Although my innate gift is corpse control, that shouldn't be the case."
"Is there anyone here or not?
Talk to me! This is so annoying! Everyone thinks that I don't talk, and they say that only the dead can be my friends. Which idiot said that? How can the dead be friends? Of course, I don't mind if the dead can be friends, but at least they have to be able to talk. "
"It's so quiet, and I'm a little scared. There are corpses all around. Don't tell me they're coming back to life."
"Sigh, talking is so tiring, but in front of corpses, there really won't be anyone to talk to if I don't talk. I'm so scared. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come to the Fifth Mainland. Bai Ling is really something. Couldn't she have waited a little longer and left someone to talk to me? Who's talking?
Oh, it's me. "
"Eh, Hong Ying lost?
That's not good, as that means that someone can threaten us. This is troublesome. Don't tell me they've come to the Grayweed Continent. That's too scary. I'd better leave as soon as possible. "
"Speaking of which, Bai Ling has been looking for the Divine Fist of the Ten Arbiters, but she hasn't been able to find it. Did I run into it? The more I think about it, the more scared I become. Is there anyone here?
Let's talk. There's really no one here. Why is the sky so dark?
How scary. "
…
The young man continued to mutter to himself without any expression on his face. Even though his words implied that he was afraid, there was not a hint of fear on his face. It was a horrifying sight.
In this silent stronghold filled with corpses, only this young man's voice could be heard. Even after a long time, he was still talking, and he did not repeat himself.
The largest battlefield in the Starfall Sea was the Grayweed Continent. Countless cultivators from the Starfall Sea had fled to the Grayweed Continent to fight the cultivators from the Sixth Mainland's Grand Martial Realm. Naturally, the Grayweed Continent was the only battlefield.
Outside the Starfall Sea, on a planet not too far away from Planet Crimson Yellow, Alfonso and the others had hidden themselves. They did not plan on leaving for the time being.
The people from Astral-3 who had been rescued still needed to recuperate from their injuries.
Lu Yin left with Hai Qiqi, as they were heading to the Starfall Sea.
Yan Hua asked for Lu Yin's name, saying that he would report Lu Yin's battle achievements to the General Appointment Platform.
Lu Yin left behind Seventh Bro's name.
Seventh Bro was a very common name, and even those who had interacted with Lu Yin before might not be able to connect him to Seventh Bro. Moreover, four years had passed since then.
Lu Yin did not want to go to the Starfall Sea, as it was too dangerous. However, Hai Qiqi was anxious to return home, and he could not let her go alone. He could only follow her and protect her.
However, the two had already agreed that they had to retreat if they encountered any emergency.
…
The long line stretched for thousands of meters, and one miner after another was dressed in prison garb. After being inspected, they boarded a spacecraft and were about to be sent to the Starfall Sea.
Almost all of these miners were cultivators who had been captured by the Sixth Mainland. They wanted to surrender, but the Sixth Mainland did not care about them. However, it was a pity to release them, as the price was to mine. As long as they could mine enough ore, they would be able to regain their freedom.
Although the Sixth Mainland slaughtered cultivators, those were cultivators who had resisted. They were still humans, and humans could not kill without mercy unless they were psychopaths, such as the Outerverse's assassins and poison masters.
Lu Yin looked around from time to time. There were not many cultivators from the Sixth Mainland guarding the miners, but there were some experts on the spacecraft. Based on the rune lines, they were definitely Hunters, and there was more than one of them.
To the Sixth Mainland, there were many Hunters, and it would not be a waste to have them guard the miners.
Just yesterday, Lu Yin and Hai Qiqi had successfully infiltrated the miner's group. The Sixth Mainland had not expected anyone to infiltrate the miner's group heading to the Starfall Sea. After all, the Starfall Sea was a land of death for the Fifth Mainland.
Lu Yin hid his gadget in his cosmic ring, which was hidden in his mouth. He was now a qualified miner, and he looked very dispirited.
Behind them, Hai Qiqi tugged at Lu Yin's sleeve. "Let's hijack this spacecraft."
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "Don't get any ideas. Do you know how many experts from the Sixth Mainland are in the Starfall Sea?
If we hijack this spacecraft, we'll be surrounded by countless experts before we even reach the Sea King's Dome. "
"Don't we have you?" Hai Qiqi pouted. Pretending to be a miner made her very uncomfortable, especially since she was a woman.
Lu Yin was afraid that Hai Qiqi would act rashly, so he could only softly advise her, "No matter how strong I am, my abilities are limited. Besides, the Sixth Mainland has no lack of Enlighters. Even if those old fellows suppress their power levels to below 200,000, their strength is still not something that the average person can compare to. They're at least at Hong Ying's level. Do you want us to be surrounded by such experts?"
Hai Qiqi helplessly scratched her neck.
"I'm warning you, don't act rashly. Otherwise, we'll be in trouble if we draw out an Imprinter. That's someone on the same level as your father. Think about it, if your father suppressed his power level to below 200,000, would we be able to deal with him?"
Hai Qiqi thought about it and then looked at Lu Yin seriously. "Please disguise yourself more wretchedly and don't show your face. If you're discovered, we'll be doomed."
Lu Yin was speechless. Just how much confidence did this brat have in the Sea King to look down on him?
However, when he thought about it, it made sense. Even if people of different realms had the same power level, their strength and lethality would be different. Even the most ordinary Envoys would not be a match for them if they suppressed their power levels to below 200,000, let alone the Sea King.
Those people's understanding of battle was different from Lu Yin's, and Lu Yin even suspected that Master Yuan's level might have broken through some sort of bottleneck and reached a different realm. Just like how they didn't absorb star energy but astral sources, their view of the universe was different as well.
Not long after, the spacecraft shuddered and headed towards the entrance of the Starfall Sea.
During the battle on Yellow Planet Lesser Crimson, Lu Yin and the others had successfully rescued everyone from Astral-3, causing the Galloping Horse Manor to lose a lot of face.
Madam Red had personally ordered for the surrounding area to be sealed off, especially the entrance to Chaos Flowzone, to prevent anyone from escaping.
