Chapter 1033: Consecutive Breakthroughs
Lu Yin clenched both of his fists and let out a relaxed breath. He was going all-out to fight against Little Arrow Saint, and the Realmling was also using his complete strength, including his imprint. This meant that Lu Yin could now directly go up against the Ten Arbiters.
Little Arrow Saint could not fathom how Lu Yin could have made such tremendous improvements in such a short amount of time. During the battle in the Cosmic Sea, Lu Yin had only had eight lined battle force, and his strength had not been anywhere close to rivaling the Realmling with his nine lined battle force. But now, Lu Yin had almost managed to steal Little Arrow Saint’s bow. Furthermore, Lu Yin had not had such a powerful spiritual force battle technique before, and it had even influenced the Realmling. How had this person advanced so much so rapidly?
This change was more frightening the more the Realmling thought about it, and Little Arrow Saint’s gaze trembled. He could not possibly allow this person to live. He picked up his longbow and unleashed another barrage of arrows. Each one was reinforced with nine lined battle force and further strengthened by his imprint. In addition, he used his stacking technique to cover every single location that Lu Yin could flee to.
Little Arrow Saint was going all out.
Lu Yin’s thirst for battle grew even clearer as more star energy converged over his right hand. This time, it was not just the first sun; a second sun also slowly formed behind the first, and the twin orbs suddenly rushed out.
Nearly half of Lu Yin’s star energy was depleted to fuel this attack, and it shattered all of the incoming arrows. Lu Yin wanted to take advantage of how his star energy reserves greatly surpassed others’ to make up for the difference in realms, but Little Arrow Saint was still a Realmling, and he also possessed impressive star energy reserves. The arrows seemed to be endless, and the First Sun was quickly depleted while the Second Sun could not block that many arrows.
Little Arrow Saint was determined to kill Lu Yin this time, and he was not afraid of using up all of his star energy. He endlessly increased the range that his attack encompassed in order to prevent Lu Yin from escaping with his impressive speed.
Lu Yin waved a hand and activated the Yu Secret Art. An arrow was diverted, suddenly speeding towards Little Arrow Saint instead.
Little Arrow Saint hurriedly fired an arrow to cancel the incoming attack.
That slight delay was enough for Lu Yin, and Night Advent descended once again. While he unleashed the full force of his spiritual force, Lu Yin also tapped out with a finger: Dream Finger.
Three attacks converged as one, and although Little Arrow Saint was able to slowly recover, he needed at least a second to do so, and a single second made all the difference here.
Lu Yin appeared behind Little Arrow Saint and swatted out. “One Hundred Stacks, Three Hundredfold Shockwave Palm.”
Bang
Little Arrow Saint’s back exploded in pain as the One Hundred Stacks, Three Hundredfold Shockwave Palm coursed through his body. Even his nine lined battle force was shattered by this attack as Lu Yin also had nine lined battle force, which perfectly complemented his physical strength that could even intimidate an Enlighter. This attack sent Little Arrow Saint flying, and he spat out a mouthful of blood while still in mid air.
Lu Yin hurried to chase after the Realmling, unleashing another palm strike.
Little Arrow Saint’s expression sharpened. “Power Transfer.”
As he spoke, the imprint behind his back suddenly grew clearer than ever, and he swung his longbow out, slamming it right on Lu Yin.
Lu Yin felt his scalp go numb as alarm bells went off in his head. He had struck out with his right hand, but he abruptly waved it, spreading out both of his arms in front of his body. As a result, there was a loud bang as his body was sent flying while the bones in both of his arms were shattered as an intense pain swept through his nerves. His body was swatted away from the Budding Terrace and into a distant forest.
Little Arrow Saint did not have a good time either, as Lu Yin’s palm had injured the Realmling quite badly. He slumped down on the ground and spat out yet another mouthful of blood. Off in the distance, a few cultivators stared at the Realmling in disbelief, unable to understand how a Realmling could end up in such a pathetic state.
Little Arrow Saint gritted his teeth and stood back up, causing an intense pain to once more erupt from his back. A palm print was embedded deep within his body, and if not for his nine lined battle force, that palm definitely would have left him severely injured. This person’s strength was simply too overbearing, and it was enough to leave the Realmling critically injured when combined with One Hundred Stacks and the Shockwave Palm. This had seemed like a very ordinary attack, but it had carried the power of an exceptional battle technique.
Little Arrow Saint quickly used the Reversal Cycle secret technique and then dashed into the distance. Lu Yin had been severely injured, and Little Arrow Saint wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate Lu Yin.
When Little Arrow Saint arrived in the distant forest, he discovered that Lu Yin was missing, and all that could be seen were some traces of blood on the ground.
However, Little Arrow Saint was unwilling to give up. He looked at his longbow, and there were traces of blood on it as well. He had used the Power Transfer secret technique to enhance his strength, and he had definitely badly injured Lu Yin. However, the Realmling was not sure exactly how badly his opponent had been wounded.
But he could not simply let Lu Yin go. After thinking about it, Little Arrow Saint immediately ordered all of the nearby cultivators to search for any traces of Lu Yin. Additionally, all of the injured cultivators were captured and rounded up for questioning.
Not long after Little Arrow Saint left the forest, Lu Yin emerged from underground and heaved a sigh of relief.
He looked at his arms that were throbbing with intense pain before swallowing some pills. After recovering somewhat, Lu Yin frowned as he looked out the forest.
It was no wonder why Little Arrow Saint was a Realmling. When he used both his imprint and the Power Transfer secret art, his strength jumped by more than a few levels. Fortunately, Lu Yin had also injured the Realmling, which was proof that his current power could contest Little Arrow Saint. At the very least, he would be difficult to defeat as long as the Realmling did not receive any help.
However, it would also be incredibly difficult for Lu Yin to defeat Little Arrow Saint. Thus, it seemed like Lu Yin would have to improve his cultivation realm next.
Little Arrow Saint was not the strongest Realmling, and he might not even be ranked within the top three. On the other hand, Nightking Zhenwu was definitely one of the strongest members of the Ten Arbiters.
Lu Yin was still a bit lacking if he wanted to defeat Nightking Zhenwu. Aside from increasing his cultivation, Lu Yin also needed to obtain more powerful techniques.
However, Lu Yin would also be able to use Truesight against Nightking Zhenwu whereas he was restricted from doing so in the Daosource Sect’s ruins since Truesight could only be used in the Fifth Mainland. If Lu Yin had fought against Little Arrow Saint in the Fifth Mainland, then Lu Yin’s chances of winning would actually be quite high.
Truesight was powerful enough to eliminate the increase in strength that Little Arrow Saint had gained from his imprint.
Budding Terrace, Heaven’s Pit, Scripture Pavilion, and many other places: Little Arrow Saint scoured the Daosource sect’s ruins with his status as a Realmling, searching for Lu Yin. His orders combined with Zhi Yi’s bounty meant that nearby all the Sixth Mainland cultivators in the area had moved out, searching for Lu Yin.
However, they were fated to fail. Soon after the battle, the scenery changed before Lu Yin’s eyes as he left the Daosource Sect’s ruins and reappeared in the secure room inside of King Zishan’s palace.
Lu Yin moved his arms around to confirm that they were both alright. Luckily, his injuries were not as severe as he had thought. Not only had the Arcane Art, Fatal Revival, increased his battle force and physical strength when it had activated in the Technocracy, but it had improved his domain and physical resilience as well. If his body had still been as strong as when he had been in the Cosmic Sea, then that last attack from Little Arrow Saint would have left Lu Yin severely injured.
Lu Yin glanced down at his gadget and discovered that many weaves from the western region of the Outerverse had joined the Great Eastern Alliance while he had been gone. This was primarily due to Millions City’s tremendous influence, as they had convinced quite a few of the powers in the western weaves.
Lu Yin mostly attributed this development to Wang Wen’s actions, as there was no other reason why Qiong Xi’er would be so energetic in answering the Great Eastern Alliance’s requests.
Lu Yin had stayed in the Daosource Sect’s ruins for a month, and during this time, nothing much had happened in the Outerverse aside from the Great Eastern Alliance’s continued expansion. Also, Wang Wen had requisitioned a great deal of resources so that the Imperial Twelfth Squadron could manufacture more androids.
Lu Yin did not oppose this requisition order, as he was quite concerned with how Ban Jiu’s research for his new universal armor was proceeding.
Lu Yin thought about it, and quickly sent Ban Jiu a message.
Ban Jiu did not reply.
Thus, Lu Yin left King Zishan’s palace and went straight to the underground lab that belonged to the Twelfth Squadron.
The members quickly saluted Lu Yin when they saw him arrive.
Lu Yin waved a hand to dismiss the people around him and then moved over to the door to Ban Jiu’s research room by himself. There, Lu Yin discovered that Ban Jiu was busy studying some rare materials, and there was a screen floating in mid air that seemed to be a set of blueprints for full body armor.
Lu Yin watched for a while and then left.
Ban Jiu was busy researching, and Lu Yin did not want to disturb the older man
It seemed that it was time to cultivate with the Skyblaze Stone.
There were countless cultivation methods throughout the universe, and even the simple process of absorbing star energy had countless methods that sped up the process. However, Lu Yin was confident that no one could rival him in terms of absorbing star energy.
Not everyone had a physical body that was able to resist extremely high temperatures, and not everyone had a treasure like his Skyblaze Stone.
In the past, Lu Yin’s cultivation rate had been restricted by his lack of a source of high temperature flames and enough star energy. However, his recent actions had taken care of these two factors. Beyond that, he had been worried that a sharp increase in his cultivation level would destabilize his cultivation. However, after his battle with Little Arrow Saint, Lu Yin had realized that he no longer needed to worry about such a thing. After thinking about it, Lu Yin raised his hand and brought out his die.
If he wanted to cultivate, then the actual time that he had available was definitely insufficient. Thus, his only option was Time Stop.
He tapped the die, and it spun before ultimately stopping on four pips: Timestop. His luck was pretty good this time. The scenery then changed before his eyes as he appeared in the Timestop Space.
He immediately increased his time within the space to half a year, which only took around 400 or so star essence.
Lu Yin waved a hand, causing a countless amount of star essence to appear, at least one million. Then, he took out the Skyblaze Stone and sucked in a deep breath. After that, ninety nine stars began to revolve around his body as he began cultivating.
Time flew by as he cultivated, and soon, one month had passed. Lu Yin opened his eyes and saw that he had already consumed hundreds of thousands of star essence while the space around him was extremely hot. The high temperature had formed lines that wrapped around his body, causing a burning pain that was unbearable for most people.
Indistinct snarls could still be heard from within the Skyblaze Stone.
In the past, because he had been worried that the Skyblaze Stone would let the fiery dragon be reborn, Lu Yin had not continued replenishing its flames.
He waved his hand again, causing another million star essence to appear on the ground. Then, Lu Yin closed his eyes and continued cultivating.
Soon, another month passed, and Lu Yin’s cultivation had reached the point where he was on the verge of completing his sixth cycle. He let out a slow breath, and finally, ten days later, his body trembled as a shockwave swept out in all directions. When Lu Yin opened his eyes and clenched his fists, a slight rumbling could be heard from within his body; he had completed his sixth cycle of cultivation. He had become a six cycle Cruiser.
He had absorbed about 600,000 star essence thus far.
If Lu Yin did not have this cultivation method, then even with the Cosmic Art, he would still need around 800 years to normally complete six cycles. The amount of star energy that his body required was simply too absurd, and not even the Ten Arbiters could likely match up to him.
The more star energy his body contained, the easier it would be for him to disregard the suppression that occurred between realms.
At this moment, Lu Yin would not be suppressed by a higher cultivation realm even if he was facing off against an Enlighter with a power level of around 200,000.
When he looked at his hands, he saw that the injuries on his arms from the battle with Little Arrow Saint had already recovered.
It had been around six years since the Outerverse had been isolated from the Innerverse. At first, Lu Yin had no choice but to largely rely on external items to resist Enlighters, and the first Enlighter he had killed had been Karthika. But now, even if Lu Yin did not use any external items, he would still be able to kill Karthika by himself. This was how far he had progressed in only around six years.
Even Lu Yin himself felt that his cultivation had risen too quickly , but he actually needed to be even faster.
The Skyblaze Stone still had a lot of flame energy left, as it had absorbed a vast quantity of the flames that had sealed off the Dark Phoenix family. Lu Yin estimated that these flames would be enough for him to cultivate to seven cycles.
After considering things for a moment, he decided to close his eyes and continued cultivating.
…
The scenery changed, and Lu Yin opened his eyes once more. He had returned to the secure room in King Zishan’s palace. For the outside universe, only a second had passed, but he had spent almost an entire year within the Timestop Space.
With the shocking temperature of the Skyblaze Stone, he had cultivated at rapid speed for the first half of that year, which had raised his cultivation to a seven cycle Cruiser. This cultivation speed was something that only a select few in the entire universe could attain.
For the second half of a year, Lu Yin had focused on consolidating his strength at his new cultivation.
