Looking up, they were surrounded by the starry sky. The miniature continent was heading west, and even if it encountered a planet along the way, it would not stop and would just directly ram through it. It was much larger than a planet, and its defenses were reinforced. It was not something a planet could shake.
On the miniature continent, Lu Yin dodged yet another arrow. In the distance, the Junior Arrow Saint's expression turned ugly. He had chased after Lu Yin for more than ten days, but he still hadn't been able to catch up.
"You dare to fight the Sword in the Stone, but you don't dare to fight me?" the Junior Arrow Saint asked. He rarely spoke during battles, but Lu Yin had forced him to.
Lu Yin looked back, as he had no other choice. With his current strength, he could stall a Realmling, but it would be far too difficult for him to win. Still, it would be fine as long as he could stall a Realmling.
The Junior Arrow Saint was stubborn, or rather, he was too eager to meet the Blood Ancestor. Even though he knew that Lu Yin was intentionally delaying him, he refused to give up.
The two traversed region after region, and they had almost crossed the entire miniature continent. They were seen by countless people, and the shockwaves from their fierce battle had implicated many people. However, no one intervened from beginning to end. Even Summer and the others, who had the qualifications to intervene, did not step forward. Lu Yin had single-handedly held back a Realmling, and he had made a great contribution.
As for the Sword in the Stone, it was still entangled by the maidens.
In a corner of the continent, Nightqueen Yanqing was panting heavily as her innate gift of purple eyes stared at a cultivator from the Sixth Mainland. This person was from an Imprinter family, and although he wasn't an heir, he was still an elite disciple whose strength could rival the top of the Top 100 Rankings. Over the past few years, Nightqueen Yanqing had made great progress and had broken through to the Explorer realm, but at most, she could only rival around eightieth on the Top 100 Rankings, which was still somewhat lacking compared to this elite disciple.
"Woman, you must be from the Daynight royal family. What an interesting family. Come with me, and I can let you join our Sixth Mainland to cultivate your imprint. It's better than slowly cultivating in the Fifth Mainland." The man who was fighting with Nightqueen Yanqing looked at her with a burning gaze.
It had to be said that Nightqueen Yanqing had the capital to be proud of. Her appearance was alluring, and her clothes were revealing. Coupled with her cold expression and exquisite purple eyes, she was extremely attractive to men. Furthermore, she was from the Daynight royal family, and she was a woman that every man dreamed of having.
Nightqueen Yanqing's eyes flashed, and her opponent's body began to petrify. This was Nightqueen Yanqing's innate gift; her purple eyes could petrify all living things.
However, the man on the other side laughed loudly. An imprint appeared on his back and strange blood-red stripes appeared on his body, forcefully stopping the petrification.
"It's useless. Your innate gift is useless against my bloodline. Your Fifth Mainland is too weak. If it weren't for the fact that a Progenitor had appeared and changed the weather, the entire Fifth Mainland would have been reduced to a farm for my Sixth Mainland. You'd all be our slaves. However, this weather won't last for long. It'll eventually dissipate, and you'll all become slaves again," the man said arrogantly.
Nightqueen Yanqing retorted, "You talk too much."
The man's gaze turned cold. "I've already been very courteous to you, but you don't know how to appreciate my kindness. Become my slave." He then charged towards Nightqueen Yanqing.
Nightqueen Yanqing felt the pressure suddenly increase. At that moment, a figure flashed past her, stirring up a strong gale that forced Nightqueen Yanqing to retreat.
Nightqueen Yanqing had only retreated a few steps, but the cultivator from the Sixth Mainland who had been fighting with her had already died. His chest had caved in with a palm imprint, which then exploded. This was the result of the Overlaying Stacks technique.
Nightqueen Yanqing turned around in shock. Lu Yin turned around as well, and the two stared at each other.
Nightqueen Yanqing's expression changed, as it was actually him.
Lu Yin was astonished, as he had only been focused on avoiding the Junior Arrow Saint. When he had seen the cultivator from the Sixth Mainland close by, he had casually taken action. He had never expected that he would actually save Nightqueen Yanqing.
His enmity with this woman was as deep as the ocean, but he had actually saved her. This was too much.
Nightqueen Yanqing had also not expected Lu Yin to save her. This person was already being very courteous by not killing her.
However, before she could think any further, an arrow streaked across the sky and tore through the void, causing her scalp to go numb. Nightqueen Yanqing turned around in shock and saw the Junior Arrow Saint soaring through the void to chase after Lu Yin.
Nightqueen Yanqing looked at Lu Yin's fleeing figure with a complicated expression. She had not seen him for a few years, but this person had already grown to the point where he could fight against a Realmling. When she had first seen Zhiyi's bounty, she had not believed it and had only thought that Lu Yin had something that was worth the attention of the Daosource Three Skies. She had never imagined that his strength would grow to such an extent.
Although she did not want to believe it, she had no choice but to accept it. Perhaps even her elder brother would not be able to defeat this person so easily.
The Junior Arrow Saint was chasing after Lu Yin, and Nightqueen Yanqing was just a passerby.
Along the way, Nightqueen Yanqing had encountered many people who had encountered similar situations, but none of them had a deep friendship with Lu Yin.
Another two days passed, and Lu Yin saw the General Appointment Platform once again. This time, there were not only the people fighting there, but also someone else. This person was someone who should have shown up the moment the Daynight clan cultivators appeared: Nightking Zhenwu.
Lu Yin glanced at the platform, but he did not approach it. Instead, he took a detour and left.
Lu Yin believed that most people would abandon their grudges and fight against their enemies during the war between the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands, but he did not believe that Nightking Zhenwu would do the same. Back when they had fought over the jade stone in the Daosource Sect's ruins, Nightking Zhenwu had not cared about Lu Yin's life and death, and he would do the same now.
Lu Yin did not notice that there was another familiar figure fighting on the other side of the platform. Although she was small, she was someone he cared about: Zhuo Daynight.
Zhuo Daynight had also broken through to the Explorer realm, and she was fighting against two Limiteers from the Sixth Mainland. A Limiteer against an Explorer was a battle between realms, and it was not an ordinary battle between realms. If this had happened before the war between the two mainlands, it would have attracted a lot of attention. However, ever since the war between the two mainlands had begun, battles between realms were no longer strange.
Usually, it was the Sixth Mainland's cultivators who crossed realms to challenge the Fifth Mainland's cultivators, as they had the ability to do so.
Zhuo Daynight and the two Limiteers from the Sixth Mainland were locked in a stalemate.
Lu Yin brought the little Arrow Saint along as he circled around the miniature continent. More and more Daynight clan members saw them, including his old acquaintance, Zhanlong Daynight, as well as Chilian Daynight and Tiankong Daynight, who had once studied in the Astral Combat Academy.
These Daynight clan members, who had once been all-powerful and had some fame amongst the younger generation, had now been reduced to the level of ordinary cultivators from the Sixth Mainland. They had all been annihilated in the chaotic battle between millions of cultivators.
Even among the Daynight clan members, there were not many who could stand out. Even Zhanlong Daynight could only deal with ordinary descendants of imprinter families, and he might not even be able to win.
Although no one dared to interfere in the battle between the Realmlings, that did not mean that everyone was afraid. Lu Yin felt that the person not too far away from him should be able to intervene, or at least block a few moves.
Not too far away, a Sixth Mainland cultivator had been smashed to death by a skinny man. This person was also from the Daynight clan, and his body was abnormally tough. Even though he was as thin as a skeleton and did not have much flesh, he was still abnormally tough. This person was Nightking Gu.
During the battle on Planet Pyrolyte, Nightking Gu had single-handedly fought against Lu Yin and Wendy Yushan. If Lu Yin had not shot him through the heart, he would not have left.
Now, Lu Yin was seeing him again. He was still as strong as ever, and his appearance was still as frightening.
When Lu Yin passed by Nightking Gu's side, the latter was stunned. When he saw that it was Lu Yin, he did not even have a chance to speak before an arrow shot out from behind him. Nightking Gu's hair stood on end, and he immediately activated his Nightking's Body. Using his innate gift, he grabbed out with his hand, causing sparks to fly as the arrow pierced through his palm and nailed him to the ground.
"I'm sorry to have implicated you," Lu Yin said before disappearing.
The little Arrow Saint did not even look at Nightking Gu as he continued to chase after Lu Yin.
Nightking Gu trembled in pain, as the little Arrow Saint's arrow had not only damaged his palm, but also caused a destructive force to seep into his wound. He glared at Lu Yin's departing figure with hatred, but he did not know what to say. This was a battlefield.
Lu Yin did not know whether to feel joy or sorrow when he saw a powerful enemy that he had not been able to defeat being heavily injured by the little Arrow Saint's arrow.
Nightking Gu was not weak, as he had been ranked fifteenth in the Top 100 Rankings. Back then, he had beaten Lu Yin and Wendy Yushan to the point where they had not been able to retaliate. A few years had passed since then, and Nightking Gu should have left the younger generation. Even so, he had still been heavily injured by a single arrow.
Over the past ten days, Lu Yin had been shot countless times.
He had truly become much stronger, but seeing the Fifth Mainland's cultivators being suppressed by the little Arrow Saint still made him feel uncomfortable.
"Seventh Bro, it's over," the monkey said tiredly as his shadow merged back into Lu Yin's right arm.
Lu Yin moved his arm and heaved a sigh of relief. The Sword in the Stone's power had been unlocked by the monkey, which had allowed him to relax a lot.
Another arrow descended.
Lu Yin was starting to admire the little Arrow Saint, as he had not given up even after chasing him for more than ten days. They were about to reach the Astral River Tributary, and once they crossed it, they would reach Chaos Flowzone. With the speed of the miniature continent, it would not take long for them to reach Mara River.
Although the Astral River Tributaries in the Innerverse were not as vast as the Astral River Tributaries, each tributary had a Astral River Ark that traveled back and forth at a fixed location to transport people from the two Flowzones.
The Innerverse and Outerverse had undergone great changes, and the Astral River Ark had been pushed out of the tributaries. At this moment, the Astral River Tributary in the Innerverse did not have a Astral River Ark to transport it.
The tributary's energy surged like the Astral River Tributary's, but a huge gap had been torn open. This was the Innerverse, and there was no lack of experts.
The miniature continent followed the gap that had been torn open and charged towards Chaos Flowzone.
The Astral River Tributary was not very wide, and Lu Yin looked up as he fled. He saw the boundless tributary's energy above his head, as well as the occasional giant fish that swam past.
The miniature continent quickly passed through the tributary and reached Chaos Flowzone.
The main power that occupied Chaos Flowzone was the blacksmithing family, but they had all retreated to the Sixth Mainland after the death of their ancestor. The cultivators from the Fifth Mainland were still hiding and fighting guerilla warfare, so the miniature continent's appearance did not cause much of a stir.
The miniature continent was getting closer and closer to Mara River. Once it flowed up the river, it would enter the Sixth Mainland and leave the region where the astronomical phenomenon had been suppressed. At that time, no one would be able to snatch back the General Appointing Platform.
The battle around the General Appointing Platform was becoming more and more intense.
Lu Yin wanted to shake off the little Arrow Saint and participate in the battle for the General Appointing Platform. He knew that his chances of obtaining it were not high, but he still wanted to try. If he could obtain the qualifications to enter the Star Tower trial alone, then he would not have to compete with others, and his chances of becoming one of the Five Astral Children would be much higher.
