Starsibyl's lips curled up when she saw Lu Yin appear. "I'll remember all of you. Our departure is a foregone conclusion, so try your best to stall for time. The longer you stall for time, the greater your future contributions. Don't worry, I'll ensure that your contributions will be distributed to your descendants. Remember, stall for time as much as you can."
Not only was this woman planning to let the Outerverse people die, but she was also using them to stall for time.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. That altar was probably similar to the one in the Skyfire Dojo. Even Madam Red could not catch up to the altar there, and it was also very difficult to destroy. Madam Red was a World Imprinter, which was equivalent to a level-9 master.
This was Starsibyl's final trump card. They had not come to ambush the transport team to die; Starsibyl had plenty of backup plans.
Lu Yin's mind raced. He could not let the Innerverse people escape, or else they would definitely die even if Master Yuan was around. There was still hope for them if the Innerverse people stayed behind.
As he thought about it, a thought flashed through his mind, and he retrieved something from his cosmic ring. It was Starsibyl's invitation letter.
Starsibyl's invitation letter was a very mystical item. Lu Yin did not know how the Starsibyl Sect had made it, but it could tear through the void and directly reach Starsibyl's side.
Bai Xue had once said that her sister, Bai Qian, had discovered Qingyu Daynight on Neptune and had used an item with an invitation letter to open a spatial gate and leave. At the time, Lu Yin had not known what an invitation letter was, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was most likely Starsibyl's invitation letter.
He had also asked a few people, and the answers he had received were the same. Starsibyl's invitation letter could directly reach Starsibyl's side, which was very mystical. This was the Starsibyl Sect's method.
In the distance, Starsibyl saw Lu Yin take out the invitation letter, and her face paled. She had given this invitation letter to Lu Yin back at the Sea King's Dome as she had other uses for it. However, when she saw Lu Yin take it out, her expression changed.
"Lu Yin, don't be rash!" Starsibyl shouted.
Lu Yin smiled and then disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already beside Starsibyl. The originally glowing altar seemed to have encountered an external force, and it actually started to distort. A curtain of light then spread out in all directions, sweeping through the world. Everything that was swept by the curtain of light immediately vanished.
"Lu Yin, you're crazy! We'll be torn to shreds by spacetime!" This was the first time Starsibyl had lost her composure. Those who knew her well knew that she had never lost her composure before. She was always calm and composed, as if everything was under her control. However, at this moment, a rare look of panic appeared on her face.
Lu Yin's scalp went numb, and he subconsciously wanted to flee. He had only wanted to destroy the altar, but who knew that the consequences would be so severe? Speaking of which, he hadn't even destroyed the altar yet. Was it because of this invitation?
Just as Lu Yin was about to speak, the screen flashed, and the two disappeared. In the distance, Ling Que, who had been chasing after Lu Yin all the way here, was also struck by a torn screen of light and disappeared as well. Only the seventh phase artificer was left behind.
…
Everything around him was dark. From time to time, there would be flashes of lightning or cracks in the void.
Lu Yin felt as if he was about to be torn apart, and intense pain radiated from his body. He suddenly recalled Starsibyl's words; he couldn't have really been torn apart, could he?
There was a splash as an icy sensation spread throughout his body. Lu Yin's breathing stagnated, and he opened his mouth to find a large amount of water gushing into it. He had fallen into the water, but he wasn't dead?
Before he could feel happy, violent thunder rumbled and fell from the sky. It fiercely smashed into his body, causing his entire body to go numb and smoke almost came out of him.
Fortunately, the power of the thunder was not enough to harm him.
Lu Yin finally managed to clearly see his surroundings. Was this the sea?
There was a boundless blue sky in the distance, and there were even floating clouds.
When he looked up, there was a sudden clap of thunder in the void. There were clearly no black clouds, but there was lightning that had appeared out of nowhere and smashed into the ground not too far away. Water was a conductor of electricity, and he had been electrocuted.
He felt numb.
"F * ck!" There was a miserable howl as a familiar voice sounded out.
Lu Yin turned around and saw Ling Que jump out of the water like a rabbit. He then stood on the surface of the water and rubbed his butt. That thunderbolt had struck his butt, and it had turned black.
Lu Yin leaped out of the water and looked at Ling Que strangely. "Why are you here?"
Ling Que grimaced in pain. "I was going to ask you the same question. You destroyed the teleportation and dragged me over."
Lu Yin looked around. Even Ling Que was here, which meant that Starsibyl should be here as well.
Just as he thought of Starsibyl, the void above his head split open, and a figure fell down.
Lu Yin subconsciously caught her and hugged her. It was Starsibyl.
Starsibyl was so beautiful that even the starry sky paled in comparison. Hugging her felt very comfortable.
However, Starsibyl's current situation was not optimistic. There were large patches of blood on her body, and her snow-white skin had been torn apart. Lu Yin and Ling Que were in the same situation, but they had come out earlier than Starsibyl, so she was in an even worse state.
Starsibyl frowned, and a pained expression appeared on her face. Her gaze turned cold as she was hugged by Lu Yin. "How much longer do you want to hug me?"
Lu Yin released her, and with a splash, Starsibyl fell into the sea. Right after that, a thunderbolt came crashing down from the sky. Lu Yin did not move and allowed the thunderbolt to descend from the sky and land on Starsibyl's body.
Starsibyl was electrocuted.
In the distance, Ling Que was stunned, and he gave Lu Yin a thumbs up. "Bro, you're awesome."
Lu Yin lowered his head as Starsibyl slowly rose from the sea. She was panting heavily as she took out a pill from her cosmic ring and ate it without saying a word.
Because of the teleportation incident, the two of them had become enemies.
Lu Yin hated Starsibyl for wanting to use them to stall for time without caring about their lives.
Starsibyl also hated Lu Yin for ruining her plans and nearly causing her to die. However, she was more concerned about the fact that this person could not be divined. Even a Level-7 Master Refiner could be divined, but she could not divine what this person would do. She was the one who had sent out the invitation letter, so it was reasonable to say that it should have been divined as well.
This was what Starsibyl was most concerned about.
Without the suppression of astronomical phenomena, it was normal for her to not be able to divine an Envoy-level powerhouse. However, Lu Yin was only a Cruiser, so why couldn't he do it?
She could not figure it out.
Ling Que looked at the two in admiration. One had calmly tossed a beauty aside and allowed the thunderbolt to strike her, while the other had been tossed aside and not gotten angry even after being struck by lightning. These two fellows must be crazy!
"Do you know where this is?" Lu Yin calmly asked.
Starsibyl looked around and was astonished. "This should be the Cosmic Sea's Thunderstorm Zone."
"We're in the Cosmic Sea?" Lu Yin was stunned. This was a rather large distance.
Starsibyl calmly replied, "Our original destination was the Cosmic Sea. That item was my most precious treasure, but it was destroyed by you."
"I can't allow my friends and family to be used as scapegoats to stall for time," Lu Yin said.
Starsibyl's tone was unpleasant. "I've already said that everything is for the greater good."
"It doesn't matter," Lu Yin casually replied.
Starsibyl was helpless. "There's no point in saying that now."
The two's conversation was very calm, as if nothing had happened. Ling Que was stunned, and he walked over. "I'm sorry to disturb the two of you. Does anyone know the way?
I feel like I'll be struck by lightning again if I stay here any longer. "
Lu Yin looked at Starsibyl.
Starsibyl looked around and then flew forward.
Ling Que's eyes lit up. "You know the way?"
"No." Starsibyl indifferently replied.
Ling Que was flabbergasted. "Then why are you so confident?"
Starsibyl glanced at Ling Que. "I can divine it."
Alright, there was nothing wrong with that statement. Since someone from the Starsibyl Sect had said it, Ling Que felt that it was especially reliable.
Lu Yin rolled his eyes. Divine it? It didn't matter where they went. There was a huge battle in the Cosmic Sea, and they could always find someone. Lu Yin just hoped that they wouldn't end up in the Sixth Mainland's headquarters.
Currently, the most intense battle between the two mainlands was in the Cosmic Sea.
Starsibyl led the way while Lu Yin and Ling Que followed behind.
Ling Que moved closer to Lu Yin and whispered, "Brother, how does Starsibyl feel?"
"Soft," Lu Yin replied with two words.
Ling Que was excited and ran over to Starsibyl's side. "Starsibyl, I can see that you're tired and heavily injured. Do you want me to carry you?"
Starsibyl's gaze turned cold. "You're courting death."
"I'm sorry," Ling Que apologized and then returned to Lu Yin's side with an unwilling expression.
Lu Yin ignored him and checked his cosmic ring. There was a mixture of joy and worry in his eyes. He was happy that he had suddenly obtained more than nine million star essence, which was more than all of his previous wealth. However, he was worried that he had only obtained nine million star essence, which was an entire mountain range of star essence.
It was all that old man's fault. If not for him, Lu Yin would have been able to collect even more star essence. It was a pity that he didn't know if he would have such an opportunity in the future.
He couldn't help but look forward to it. If he could collect all of those star essence, he would have struck it rich. His die, which required the most resources, possessed six pips, would probably be able to send him to the back of the Upper Three Gates.
What a pity, what a pity.
They flew for twenty minutes without seeing anyone along the way.
Ling Que moved closer to Lu Yin and kept asking him questions.
Lu Yin woke up from the joy of obtaining star essence from his cosmic ring, but he was still worried about the battle on the transport continent. He hoped that the cultivators from the Innerverse and Outerverse would be able to escape.
He felt guilty towards the cultivators from the Innerverse, but there was nothing he could do. If they stayed, then the people from the Outerverse might be able to leave alive. If they escaped, then the people from the Outerverse would definitely die.
"How did you cultivate in the Outerverse?
You were actually able to exchange blows with a Level 7 master, and even Starsibyl had to flee. "Ling Que sighed in amazement, as he had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
In front of him, Starsibyl was also listening, as she also wanted to know the answer.
To most people, the Outerverse was a barren land without any cultivation resources, and there were very few star essence. Thus, it was even less likely that there would be any fortuitous encounters. However, Lu Yin's current display of strength was a little exaggerated. To put it bluntly, he was now a five-cycle Cruiser. Even the Ten Arbiters might not have been able to surpass Lu Yin when they had been at his level.
Starsibyl was most curious about how Lu Yin had managed to avoid being divined.
Lu Yin did not answer.
Ling Que kept asking, as if he wouldn't give up until Lu Yin answered.
Helpless, Lu Yin changed the topic. "Actually, I came to the Innerverse once before. I went to the Starfall Sea."
"When?" Ling Que was astonished.
Lu Yin thought about it. "About two years ago."
Starsibyl looked at Lu Yin. "You went to the Starfall Sea?"
Lu Yin nodded.
"The Starfall Sea is completely under the Tong family's control, and the Sea King's Dome has been reduced to a mining area. The Boundless Continent's seventy-two dojos have all been destroyed. How did you escape?"

It's New Year's Eve. I wish all of you a happy family and a prosperous new year in both love and career. Thank you for your support!
