Lu Yin immediately donned his universal armor, and there was a thump as his body was smashed into the burning planet like a meteor. He crashed into the magma and then pierced through the planet before falling into outer space once more. The planet began to crack apart on a large scale before finally exploding with a loud bang. The void distorted and transformed into a black hole.
Lu Yin felt an intense pain in his chest, and he looked up to see the Corpse King appear next to him. Black lightning smashed down from above, and Lu Yin casually waved his hand to activate the Yu Secret Art. He managed to divert some of the lightning, but some of it still landed on his body and forced him down.
Fortunately, Lu Yin had donned his universal armor, or else he would have been severely injured, if not killed.
He had not expected a Corpse King from the Neohuman Alliance to appear here, and he recognized this Corpse King as the same one that had appeared in Myriad City. In the end, that Specter Clan expert had died, but this Corpse King had survived and escaped from Myriad City.
Lu Yin immediately realized that this was a trap.
The Corpse King did not communicate with Lu Yin, as if it had attacked to destroy him. However, Lu Yin had already donned his universal armor, so aside from the first attack that had severely injured him, the rest of the attacks had not had much effect on him.
There was another thump, and Lu Yin was sent flying once more. Against an Enlighter realm Corpse King, Lu Yin did not have much ability to retaliate. He donned his bracers and casually threw out a Super Flash.
The tear bomb released a blinding light that illuminated the heavens, and it was even more dazzling than the burning flames around him.
However, the Corpse King was prepared for this, and it broke through the blinding light. Its pupils changed and turned gray, and its strength increased tenfold as it punched out.
Lu Yin punched out as well, and with the support of his bracers, his punch was able to force Hugh Phinhas back. His strength was comparable to an Enlighter with a power level of 300,000, and he had even added Overlaying Stacks and eight lined battle force. However, that was only against an ordinary Enlighter. This was a Corpse King, and one whose strength had been increased tenfold after using the Grey Eyes Transformation.
There was another thump as space distorted and turned into a wave that swept out in all directions. The flames that had been burning the heavens were instantly extinguished, and the surrounding planets were shattered into pieces by the enormous force. Multiple black holes appeared in the universe and began devouring each other.
Lu Yin's right arm was under unimaginable pressure, and right after that, his bracers cracked and finally shattered. The Corpse King's strength vibrated through his universal armor, and not only did it shatter his eight lined battle force, but it also broke his arm.
The Universal Armor could withstand an attack with a combat power of about 400,000. However, the Zombie King's punch had broken his right arm and sent him flying toward the planet that had already exploded.
Lu Yin clenched his teeth as he forcefully as he could see that the Corpse King.. to the Corpse king's.
Lu Yin's attack, but the Corpse Corpse King's punch instead.... Lu to block, the Corpse king, but the Corpse king's.. and Lu Yin, the Corpse Corpse King's, and the Corpse King's fist. However, the Corpse King, Corpse king's, and a.... but to, to,, the Corpse Corpse....
.. the Corpse.... king..... this Corpse.... cly......... it.. to a. to to to the end to To a... t t t t... to the face....... king. the Corpse.... a Lu Yin... it................. to the end.... to that..
. This was Lu Yin's first time fighting against a powerhouse with a power level of over 300,000, and he had been suppressed from start to finish.
The Corpse King's fist was filled with a ferocious destructive power that was accompanied by a terrifying physical strength. Lu Yin raised his hand and gathered star energy. "First Sun."
There was a boom as his physical body collided with the star energy. Lu Yin extracted almost all of the star energy in his body and used the most powerful First Sun he had ever unleashed. It shone like a real sun as it forcefully collided with the Corpse King. Space was torn apart as countless cracks extended outwards.
Lu Yin roared, and his pupils turned into runes once again to weaken the Corpse King's rune lines. The Corpse King's fist punched into the First Sun, causing green smoke to billow out. A thunderous explosion shook the heavens, and the sun almost shattered. Blood flowed from the corners of Lu Yin's eyes, ears, and nostrils. His pupils turned into runes that spun wildly as they continuously weakened the Corpse King's rune lines.
There was a boom as the First Sun completely exploded. The shockwaves swept through the surroundings, causing space to undulate like waves.
This was the first time the Corpse King had been forced back, and its fist had turned black as it had been burned by the First Sun. However, compared to the Corpse King's terrifying physical strength, this injury was nothing.
Lu Yin panted heavily. His right arm had been broken, and his left hand was trembling uncontrollably because he had used all of his strength to unleash the First Sun. The injury on his chest had worsened, and blood was flowing out of the corner of his mouth. He looked battered and exhausted.
"Is this the despair you've brought me?" Lu Yin shouted as he stared at the Corpse King.
Across from him, the Corpse King did not say a word. Its eyes were deathly still as it stared at Lu Yin. It slowly raised its right fist, and its body suddenly vanished as it launched another attack. At the same time, Lu Yin caught sight of another black shadow out of the corner of his eye. The Corpse King's rune lines were not much weaker than the Corpse King that he had just fought. Another powerful enemy. The Neohuman Alliance had not given him a chance to live, and they had set up a trap by sending out two Enlighter realm Corpse Kings.
This should be the Corpse King that had stolen True Insight back in Myriad City.
Against these two Corpse Kings, even Elder Lohar would have died without a doubt. However, Lu Yin was Lu Yin, not Elder Lohar. He had plenty of methods and external items.
There was a thump as Lu Yin's abdomen suffered a heavy blow, followed by his back. He received dozens of punches in a row as the two Corpse Kings took turns attacking him in an attempt to break through his universal armor.
Even though his universal armor could withstand attacks with a power level of close to 400,000, it was still difficult for Lu Yin to withstand the impact of the two Corpse Kings' attacks.
Lu Yin took advantage of the opportunity, and just as the two Corpse Kings attacked from the same direction, five beads appeared in his hand. One of the beads disappeared and transformed into Yuan Shi's power that merged into his body. He raised a finger and activated it with Yuan Shi's power, causing an attack with a power level of 300,000 to appear out of nowhere as he pointed at the two Corpse Kings. Dream Finger.
The Dream Finger caused the void to solidify. What accompanied it was not the piercing attack that he had used before. Instead, a snow-white finger that had been magnified countless times appeared behind Lu Yin. It was as if it had descended from the heavens, and the two Corpse Kings did not even have the chance to resist as their skulls were shattered. Space itself was split into two, and an incomparably terrifying might extinguished the flames and split the stars, sending the two Corpse Kings to an unknown distance.
At the same time, in an unfamiliar region of space, a pair of clear eyes opened, and her gaze landed on the Outerverse of the Fifth Mainland.
Pfft!
Lu Yin spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted. His injuries had been too severe, especially from the initial punch. As the battle progressed, the pain had only intensified. However, before he fainted, he had eaten an ancient pill that had increased his rune lines to the level of an Enlighter. This pill should be able to heal the injuries of an Enlighter, and it would be even more effective for Lu Yin.
In a distant region of space, a giant spacecraft sped over. There were dozens of people aboard, and although there were not many of them, they were not weak. The weakest among them was an Explorer, and the Endless Borders logo was carved onto the spacecraft.
Just as Lu Yin had shattered the two Corpse Kings with a single finger, a huge shockwave had swept through space, transforming into a terrifying force that split space in two. The shockwave had spread out endlessly, and this spacecraft had just happened to be within the range of the shockwave. If not for the powerhouses on board who had noticed the shockwave and changed directions in time, the entire spacecraft would have been reduced to smithereens.
"Captain Feng, our power level has just been measured. It's 390,000," a calm-looking youth exclaimed in surprise. Behind him were two old men who seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life. One of them had the name "Captain Feng," while the other had the name "Captain Hua."
The Wind Flower Team was one of Endless Borders' exploration teams.
Endless Borders' predecessor had been the Adventurer's Guild, which had gathered countless cultivators who loved adventure. The essence of the universe was exploration, and some people believed that the essence of cultivation was to explore the universe. The Adventurer's Guild's birth had attracted countless cultivators.
At its peak, the Adventurer's Guild had even attracted the attention of the Hall of Honor, who had wanted to forcefully incorporate it. That was why the Adventurer's Guild had changed its name and become the current Endless Borders.
In name, the Adventurer's Guild was a corporation, but in reality, it was still an exploration team.
Not many people knew exactly how many adventurer teams there were in Endless Borders, but amongst the many adventurer teams, the Wind Flower Team was definitely a marvel. This was because the team had two captains, one with the surname Feng and the other with the surname Hua. The two of them competed with each other, but they could not leave each other's side. This was the origin of the Wind Flower Team.
When they heard that it was 390,000, the two captains looked at each other in shock. Ever since the Innerverse and Outerverse had been separated, an Enlighter with a power level of over 200,000 was already considered a top-notch powerhouse. Only the battle at the borders of Endless Weave had brought out those old freaks with power levels in the hundreds of thousands. Almost all of these old freaks had gathered at the borders, but one had actually appeared here.
"Captains, should we avoid it?" the calm-looking youth asked.
The two old men looked at each other. "No need. Let's continue forward."
The youth hesitated. "But there's an attack with a power level of 390,000, and that's just the shockwave."
"It's too unusual for such a power level to appear in the Outerverse, and this place is close to the Astral Wilderness. If anything strange happens, it'll be disastrous. Since we've encountered it, we can't retreat," Captain Feng said with certainty.
On the spacecraft, the rest of the cultivators had solemn expressions. Although they were afraid, none of them objected.
Joining an adventure team in the Astral Wilderness meant that they were prepared to sacrifice themselves. Compared to running away, they were more curious about what had appeared ahead.
The youth was similarly curious. Since the two captains had already confirmed their suspicions, he no longer hesitated and gave the order to continue forward.
Space itself had been split in two by the power of a single finger, and everyone on the spacecraft was shocked. Even though they had spent many years treading the line between life and death, they had rarely encountered such a terrifying destructive force.
Gradually, the spacecraft arrived at the previously blazing space. The surrounding planets had long since collapsed and turned into black holes that devoured each other.
Everyone looked around as the spacecraft scanned the area, and the power level detector continuously beeped. It was clear that there were still some shockwaves that had yet to dissipate.
"Captain, there's a situation!" someone cried out.
Everyone looked over and saw the spacecraft's screen rise. On it, a figure was lying flat in space and slowly drifting towards the spacecraft.
"There are signs of life. He's not dead, and he's an Explorer," someone reported.
The calm-looking youth ordered for the figure to be pulled into the spacecraft. Perhaps this person knew something.
