Chapter 516: Searching For Self-Confidence
Above the planet, the various forces were baffled by Lu Yinâs actions.
Wen Qichen and the othersâ expressions immediately changed. âNot good! That bratâs headed towards Pyrolyte Lake! Hurry and send a message!â
In the sky, a group of spacecraft formed the words âLu, calm downâ and âWen, careful.â
Lu Yin did not look up as he charged towards Pyrolyte Lake at maximum speed.
At this moment, Wen Qianâer was in the middle of Pyrolyte Lake, and when she looked up, the words in the sky gave her a strange feeling. The family was sending them a warning?
Given Lu Yinâs speed, as long as he was not delayed, it would only take him twenty minutes at most to reach Pyrolyte Lake. This was unlike the time when he had brought Hai Qiqi and taken several days to walk over.
Not only did the Wen family warn their ground forces through writing in the sky, they even sent Limiteers down to Planet Pyrolyte.
When Wen Qianâer and the others learned that Lu Yin was charging towards them, all of their hearts sank. Who on this entire planet could stand up to that guy?
Ling Que subconsciously wanted to run, but he was stopped by Wen Qianâer, who insisted that their guardian not leave.
They could not give up Pyrolyte Lake, as this was one of the largest pyrolyte mines on Planet Pyrolyte.
Ling Que felt miserable, as he could not disobey Wen Qianâer. Thus, he could only hope that Lu Yin would not be irrational.
Lu Yin was also afraid that Ling Que would slip away, as based on his understanding of Ling Queâs personality, this was very likely to happen. Hence, he had continuously increased his speed and had even unsealed the three grains of Fatesand around his body to use Flash to travel even faster. Finally, he arrived at Pyrolyte Lake, where he saw Ling Que and the others waiting for him.
âLu Yin, what do you want?â Ling Que put on a bold front.
Lu Yin raised his fist. âTo reaffirm my beliefs.â
Ling Queâs mouth fell wide. âYou came here to search for self-confidence?â
Lu Yin did not deny it. He raised his hand and immediately pressed down.
Ling Queâs face changed. âYouâre too overbearing!â
He immediately used the Soulsplitting Technique as three Ling Que launched their Queâs Mighty Slashes in unison. Three merged back into one that crashed towards Lu Yinâs palm.
There was a boom as Pyrolyte Lake vanished; Lu Yinâs palm had evaporated the entire lake, crushed the three Queâs Mighty Slashes, and also sent Ling Que flying into the bottom of Pyrolyte Lake in one blow.
Wen Qianâer and the rest were stunned. Was the disparity between Ling Que and Lu Yin this large?
Actually, Ling Que and Lu Yin had not truly confronted one another before this moment. At the base of the mountain range, Ling Que had retreated after receiving just one palm from Lu Yin, leaving the battle unresolved. On the other hand, Mu Rong had fought against Lu Yin for quite a while before the outcome had been decided. Hence, the various people had always assumed that the disparity between these three people was not that great, as they were still two of the top four Limiteers. However, everyone now truly understood the difference between the two.
Ling Que himself was also able to finally recognize this gap. He could tell that all of his bones had fractured, since this strike had not been gentle in the slightest.
Lu Yin pulled back his hand, but he didnât turn around to head back towards the mountain range. Instead, he began moving towards Pyrolyte Mountain. Mu Rong was next.
He hadnât unleashed all his strength against Mu Rong before, and he had at most unsealed two grains of Fatesand to break free of the farmer boyâs song, which had led to people having a misconception of Lu Yinâs full strength before this day. Ze Lin was the one who was most clear on his full strength, and Lu Yin wanted to set things straight for Mu Rong at this time. This would also help him reaffirm his belief that he was invincible, which would help him break through to six-lined battle force, which would allow him to become even stronger.
At Pyrolyte Lake, Wen Qianâer and the others quickly relaxed. Everything was fine so long as Lu Yin did not seize the pyrolyte mine.
Wen Qianâer immediately arranged for a spacecraft to take Ling Que to the Wen familyâs battleship to recover.
Ling Que felt aggrieved. âI told you earlier to let me go, but you insisted on stopping me.â
Wen Qianâer apologized profusely.
Ling Que sighed. âThat freak! But everythingâs still alright. From the direction he ran off in, Mu Rong will be the next one to run out of luck. At least it canât always be me, keke.â
Above the planet, Wen Qichenâs face grew even uglier, as she knew that Lu Yin was attempting a breakthrough. Although she did not know in what aspect, breaking through always represented an increase in power, and that would be troublesome since this Limiteer had already left them all feeling helpless before him.
The other powers finally began to understand Lu Yinâs intentions as well.
The Sword Sect quickly used their spacecraft to form words, warning Mu Rong and Liu Shaoqiu to retreat.
However, neither of them left Pyrolyte Mountain, as retreating would mean that they were afraid, which went against their convictions. If they retreated, then Lu Yin would become a massive stone gate forever standing over their heads.
The YĆu Courtâs cultivators tried to persuade YĆu Yeâer to leave, but she wouldnât leave either. She was very curious about Lu Yin as his body always carried this aura that attracted her, but she didnât know what it was.
Moreover, she was not afraid either. If possible, she also wanted to experience Lu Yin with her full strength and see who was the true invincible Limiteer. Could this person beat the YĆu Courtâs Secret Art? The so-called strongest Limiteer didnât include the Limiteers from the Three Dark Hands or the Neoverse.
The sky rippled, and a stifling pressure descended. Near Pyrolyte Mountain, the Sword Sect, YĆu Court, and a few secret observers felt their breaths inadvertently grow sluggish. When they looked up, they saw that Lu Yin had already appeared.
Mu Rong spun the wooden flute in his hands with a solemn expression.
Liu Shaoqiu stepped forward and unleashed his forcefield, instantly attacking with the Fourth Sword.
He wanted to use the Fifth Sword to defend against Lu Yin, but the simple fact was that he had not reached that level of proficiency and could only display the Fourth Sword.
The forcefield converged into an endless rain of sword qi that sliced down, and space itself seemed to boil as the limitless sharp energy tore the void apart and caused cracks to appear everywhere. Lu Yin raised his head and stood in place. He then raised his right hand into the air and actually grabbed the sword qi while unleashing his strength.
Under everyoneâs stunned eyes, Liu Shaoqiuâs Fourth Sword was directly crushed.
Even if everyone had already known that Liu Shaoqiu would lose, they had not imagined that his loss would be so tragic. He had not even been able to force Lu Yin to take a single step back. He hadnât even been able to force Lu Yin to become serious.
Elder Viletree, Liu Sanjian, and the other Sword Sectâs experts all had ugly expressions.
The moment the Fourth Sword had collapsed, fresh blood flowed from Liu Shaoqiuâs lips. He had been injured.
Mu Rong raised his wooden flute, causing green grass to appear and cover both the ground and the void. The farmer boyâs song rang out, and the farmer boy rushed at Lu Yin with his cow.
It could be said that, when Lu Yin unsealed two grains of Fatesand, the farmer boyâs song could still influence him a little and he needed to exert some amount of force to break free from the song. However, at this moment, he had removed all three grains of Fatesand and had completely released his physical strength. The farmer boyâs song was just a song that only made others feel peaceful; it had no influence on Lu Yin whatsoever. The image of the farmer boy herding cattle was similarly casually swatted away by his right hand.
With a bounce, Mu Rong slammed into the ground. Although Lu Yinâs palm strike had not been released against Mu Rong himself, its force had still shattered the forcefield, so Mu Rong had been indirectly attacked, much like Liu Shaoqiu.
YĆu Yeâer frowned, as Lu Yin was indeed very powerful. Mu Rongâs strength was top-notch even when compared to those in the Neoverse, but he had not been able to receive even a single palm from this person. This Lu Yin was stronger than what she previously estimated him to be.
Lu Yin did not move a single step to defeat both Mu Rong and Liu Shaoqiu. He had only raised his right arm, and this singular move allowed everyone to keenly sense the disparity between them.
They were all shocked at Lu Yinâs strength, but Lu Yin himself still was not satisfied. These two had not managed to reinforce his confidence enough to break through to six-lined battle force, and his spirit was still slightly lacking.
At that moment, a spacecraft shot down from space on a path aimed straight for Pyrolyte Mountain. Lu Yinâs eyes filled with star energy as he observed the ship. He could see a majestic amount of rune lines, which even surpassed Ze Linâs. Through these runes, Lu Yin could tell that the person descending was almost definitely Long Yun, a Sword Sect expert who had appeared as a trial taker on Shenwu Continent in the past. Long Yunâs actions there had allowed the Neohuman Allianceâs Wu Shang to escape, and his presence had also prevented Crown Prince Ming Hao from directly acting against those who had been trapped within the Lightshaking Tower, which had allowed all of them to escape.
Long Yunâs name was not included in the Top 100 Rankings as he was a hidden ultra expert of the Sword Sect. His status meant that it was of no surprise to anyone that he had been able to cause the Shenwu Continentâs Crown Prince Ming Hao to be so afraid.
Lu Yin returned to the ground with a solemn expression. Long Yunâs arrival was something that was unavoidable. He represented the Sword Sectâs intention to seize the mountain range, and there was bound to be a battle between the two.
Boom!
The spacecraft landed outside of Pyrolyte Mountain as Mu Rong, Liu Shaoqiu, YĆu Yeâer, and the others all watched on.
As the hatch opened, a youth wearing a felt hat, short-sleeved shirt, and jeans walked out with a faint smile as he curiously observed his surroundings.
As they looked at this youth, Liu Shaoqiu and the other Sword Sect disciples felt a jolt run through their hearts. âSenior Long?â
YĆu Yeâer blinked. She did not recognize this person.
âItâs Long Yun, one of the Sword Sectâs disciples from the previous generation,â an expert from YĆu Court quietly informed her.
YĆu Yeâer was curious. âHow do you know? Is he very famous?â
That YĆu Court cultivator explained, âThis person is in the same generation as the Arbiter from the Sword Sect, and the two of them do not have a simple relationship. During their time together, this person ranked within the top three of the sect. However, after the Sword Sectâs Arbiter broke through to become an Explorer, this person grew quieter until there was nothing left to say about him. Who would have imagined that the Sword Sect would send him here now.â
Long Yunâs timely arrival caused the Sword Sect disciples to clearly relax, but they were also rather apprehensive. To their understanding, Long Yun was a bold and uninhibited roamer, but nobody knew what his actual power was. However, if the Sword Sect had sent him down, then he definitely would not be weak.
Long Yun glanced across everyone present before finally settling his eyes on Lu Yin, who was already staring at Long Yun.
âWeâve met before, right?â Long Yun beamed at Lu Yin. He spoke by using his star energy to make the air vibrate, thus producing sound.
Lu Yin answered, âIn the Outerverse, during the trial on Shenwu Continent, we met once.â
Long Yun nodded. âYou should be the one who rescued that group from the Tower of Resonating Light. The moment I heard about that feat, I already knew that you were not someone simple, but I never imagined that you were only a Limiteer. Your strength is terrifying.â
Lu Yin looked at him gravely. âYouâre not simple either. Your true strength surpasses even Ze Linâs.â
This sentence shook the Sword Sect members and even shocked the various great powers in outer space. Not many of them had heard of Long Yunâs name, and those who had were of the same generation as the Ten Arbiters. Long Yun had initially been rather famous, but his glory had gradually dimmed, so no one would have expected that he could rival an expert ranked in the top sixty of the Top 100 Rankings. This was a rather deep concealment, as the Sword Sect still had someone at the top of the rankings.
Liu Shaoqiuâs eyes flickered, as he had already known that Long Yunâs power was not simple, though he had never checked into the concrete details before. Back at the sect, Long Yun did not like to fight, and he was also rather laid-back. Liu Shaoqiu had never found an opportunity to exchange blows with Long Yun, but he had never thought that Lu Yinâs appraisal of his senior would be so high.
Long Yun was surprised by Lu Yinâs words as well. âHow did you know that? Only a few old folks in the entire Sword Sect know of my strength.â
Lu Yinâs eyes lit up. âI guessed.â
Long Yun nodded. âNo matter how you know, you wonât be able to avoid me today.â
Long Yun pulled out a very ordinary looking longsword from his cosmic ring. Under everyoneâs shocked gazes, green lines twisted around the blade, and a dark-gold radiance illuminated the void as a stifling and boundless pressure swept across.
Everyone felt their hearts seize for a moment as they stared at Long Yun while feeling completely overwhelmed. He was glowing with a dark-gold radiance, and his sword had green lines twisting about it. That was six-lined battle force.
The strongest cultivators on Planet Pyrolyte to battle up till now had only ever had five-lined battle force, but Long Yun had raised the standard by one bar. His green, six-lined battle force was being prominently displayed before everyone else now.
