BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1661: Make a Match
“Alright, Elder,” Lu Yin said solemnly. Elder Jiu Shen had saved Lu Yin’s life, as the younger man would have been forced to defend against the attack on his own if not for the elder. Given the fact that not even Elder Jiu Shen’s most powerful Celestial Sword had been able to fully block the attack, Lu Yin definitely would have died even if he was wearing his bodysuit armor.
Lu Yin had not expected Mount Punishment to be so dangerous as both Mounts Shaoyou and Taihe had been very peaceful. Elder Jiu Shen was right; each mountain was replaying a unique incident, which meant that there had once been a battle between Progenitors within the Celestial Frost Sect’s territory, which was the incident that they had just witnessed.
How could such ancient incidents constantly be replaying? Even the power of Progenitors had been displayed. If someone managed to harness that power, it meant that they would be able to repeatedly use the power of a Progenitor. That was unimaginable.
Lu Yin had encountered this situation twice so far; once in the tablet world, and again in his current visit to the Celestial Frost Sect’s ruins. There had to be some similarities between these two places.
The two remained on Mount Punishment, but Lu Yin did not dare to risk leaving. He had no idea when those whirlpools might reappear, and he was not confident in escaping from the mountain without Elder Jiu Shen.
They stayed on the mountain for half a month as Elder Jiu Shen recovered.
Above the Daynight clan’s ancestral ground, various different spacecraft arrived. Most of them carried cultivators from the Innerverse’s major flowzones’ major powers while others belonged to independent cultivators.
One of the vessels carried cultivators from the Phoenix Clan.
Serati Phoenix was one of the people on the ship, and they were led by an elder from the Phoenix Clan, Lyman Phoenix. He was the most powerful elder in the clan, second only to the clan’s patriarch. This elder’s power level was more than 400,000, and he was among the most powerful experts in the entire Innerverse.
Lyman Phoenix sighed as he stared at the destroyed ancestral grounds and Nightking Planet. “The Daynight clan was once extremely powerful, but it has now been completely ruined. Serati, if you run into Lu Yin in the Celestial Frost Sect’s ruins, make sure you don’t offend him.”
Serati Phoenix answered grimly, “Elder, do you think that our family will be safe even if I don’t offend him?”
Lyman Phoenix frowned but did not answer. Given the fact that Lu Yin had attacked even the Daynight clan, it meant that anyone who did not join his Great Eastern Alliance would eventually become his target, including their Phoenix Clan.
The half of the Phoenix family that had left the main clan had already been forced to join the Great Eastern Alliance, and now, it was the main clan’s turn. There were no exceptions.
Unless the Innerverse’s eight great flowzones united, there were no organizations capable of defeating Lu Yin and his Great Eastern Alliance. This applied even to the Daynight clan and the Sword Sect, so there was no need to mention the Phoenix clan.
These thoughts occurred to more than just the Phoenix clan, as all the cultivators on the other spacecraft similarly fell silent upon seeing the current state of the Daynight clan.
The Daynight clan had been a powerful force with many experts for many years. Despite that, they had been reduced to such a state within just a few years. The members of the Daynight clan who had been captured by the colossal giants all looked quite pathetic.
Nobody dared to offend the Great Eastern Alliance, but many grew curious as to why the alliance’s powerhouses were guarding the Celestial Frost Sect’s ruins instead of entering it.
A beautiful lady among the gathered cultivators plucked up enough courage to ask one of the giants.
“May I ask why you aren’t entering the Celestial Frost Sect’s ruins? I’m an independent cultivator, and I have no seniors to protect me. So, I would like to ask for more information to better protect myself,” she said in a pitiful manner.
A few giants glanced over, but they simply ignored the woman. Her beauty held no attraction to any of them, as they were only concerned about strength. This person was weak, and therefore unattractive. Any of them could easily kill her with just one swat.
Ku Wei’s eyes gleamed when he saw the beautiful woman, and he waved to her from atop Chen Huang’s shoulder. “Come over to Brother Wei. I’ll tell you about it.”
The girl was delighted, and she turned towards Ku Wei. However, at that moment, Chen Huang turned to look at the girl, and she froze in terror. She started trembling and nearly peed herself as she had never even seen an Envoy before, let alone one like Chen Huang.
Chen Huang had fought against an entire army by himself, and he was unable to suppress his aura as he had only recently become an Envoy.
The girl fainted and collapsed.
Ku Wei became annoyed and smacked Chen Huang’s head. “Why’d you turn and look at her? You could’ve scared her to death! Even I was a little surprised.”
Chen Huang blinked. “She’s too tiny and weak. Thus, she doesn’t suit you.”
Ku Wei’s brows rose high, but just when he was about to speak, Chen Huang said, “Da Hua suits you.”1
Ku Wei’s face twitched, and he stared up at the sky in helplessness.
Da Hua was a powerful female giant whose full name was Chen Da Hua, and she was built like a mountain. Her most distinctive characteristic was that she had very hairy arms that were incredibly strong. Chen Huang had kept trying to match Ku Wei with Da Hua, as the chieftain felt that their union would produce the strongest giant possible.
“Don’t even think about that! I’ll never get together with Da Hua,” Ku Wei angrily growled.
Chen Huang mournfully commented, “But Da Hua really likes you. She’s a nice girl.”
Ku Wei roared, “Not Da Hua!”
On the other side of the Nightking Planet, other cultivators started asking the Lu Elite Troops why they had not entered the ruins. At the moment, the army lacked a commander with Lu Yin’s absence.
Before the attack on the Daynight clan, Lu Yin had appointed Zhuo Daynight as the Lu Elite Troops’ deputy commander. She was powerful enough to lead them given the fact that she could cause anyone to fall into her illusions, even Enlighters.
The person asking was a polite man from a minor flowzone, though he was the heir to one of the major forces within the flowzone.
Nobody answered the man’s question, and Zhuo Daynight ignored him after just shooting a glance at him.
The man felt awkward, but did not dare get angry, as anyone in this army could easily kill him.
A sword flashed through space as disciples from the Sword Sect arrived and entered the ruins, followed by others from Beast Tamers Flowzone and Soulseal Flowzone.
The independent cultivators stopped asking any questions and also started to enter the ruins.
One of those independent cultivators was Bai Shui, who had only just arrived.
Many beasts emerged from the ruins, but all of them were easily dealt with by the colossal giants and the Lu Elite Troops. Still, there were more beasts lurking within the ruins.
Bai Shui encountered two beasts with the strength of a Cruiser almost as soon as she entered the pocket dimension. Given her strength as an Explorer, she was barely able to defeat one of the beasts. Fortunately, a rock suddenly landed atop the two beasts; Little Mountain God had also entered the ruins.
Bai Shui expressed her gratitude as Little Mountain God carefully observed the beasts. “Thank you for your assistance.”
Little Mountain God simply ignored Bai Shui. He was from Beast Tamers Flowzone, so he was naturally interested in these beasts. Saving the woman had actually been unintentional.
A few older cultivators arrived at Mount Shaoyou, but none of them had ever seen remnant spiritual force before. One of the people reflexively shouted upon seeing the gray figures, and the noise disturbed all of Mount Shaoyou.
Lu Yin had initially assumed that disturbing the gray figures would affect the entire ruins, but after witnessing the incident on Mount Punishment, he had realized that each mountain replayed its own, distinct incident, which meant that those cultivators had only disturbed the remnant spiritual force figures on Mount Shaoyou.
The surrounding figures all attacked the cultivators the moment the disturbance appeared, and all of the cultivators had to work together to defeat the gray figures.
The independent cultivators who were capable of entering the Celestial Frost Sect’s ruins were all quite powerful while most of the remnant spiritual force figures on Mount Shaoyou were not even Explorers. This led to the cultivators achieving an easy victory.
The cultivators worked together to eradicate the remnant spiritual force.
Suddenly, a figure appeared behind one of the independent cultivators, and they raised a hand to attack. If Lu Yin were present, he would have recognized the attack as the Celestial Frost Sect’s Wind God Battle Technique.
The gray figure only had the power of a Limiteer, but the Explorer was cut in half by the Wind God’s Slash, and his blood spilled onto the ground.
The remaining cultivators were all shocked, and one of them immediately attacked the gray figure. The figure blocked the attack with the Wind God’s Defense before suddenly disappearing. The two other cultivators glanced at each other in confusion, but then a finger suddenly descended onto their heads and crushed all three of them. This was another one of the Celestial Frost Sect’s battle techniques: Celestial Being Shows the Way.
The gray figure had the strength of an Explorer, and yet it had managed to kill three cultivators within the same realm in an instant. This showed the enormous gap between them.
Apart from the three independent cultivators, there were about ten other people who were on Mount Shaoyou. The disturbance that had affected the remnant spiritual force had spread to this area as well, and half of the cultivators here were killed.
Wen Sansi and Lei Nü were the most unfortunate. They knew that these figures were remnant spiritual force, so they had remained at a mountain peak to watch the tournament. They had been completely engrossed in the tournament when the mountain was disturbed, causing them to be surrounded by the gray figures before they could react.
Fortunately, they had only been watching the tournament with the weakest cultivators on the lowest level on Mount Shayou, so most of the figures that surrounded them were even weaker than Explorers. In fact, they only faced two Explorers and one Enlighter.
The figures were destroyed one after another. Wen Sansi trapped the Enlighter figure with his Literary Prison while Lei Nü used her star energy to destroy most of the others.
Wen Sansi’s Literary Prison cracked and fell apart, surprising him. The Enlighter was very powerful as they could destroy Wen Sansi’s Literary Prison, meaning that this figure’s power level was around 300,000. Wen Sansi lifted his hand, causing a second layer of Literary Prison to appear, trapping the Enlighter figure yet again.
Lei Nü was shocked. A stacked Literary Prison?
There were other cultivators on the mountain as well, and one of them was an elder with a power level higher than 400,000. Everyone worked together to clear the mountain as they destroyed all of the gray figures.
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the sky. Wen Sansi and Lei Nü immediately crouched on the ground, but the elder powerhouse was cut in half. That crack had been a Void Rip.
That Void Rip actually killed everybody present except for Wen Sansi and Lei Nü.
They glanced at each other and immediately tried to leave. However, they suddenly felt the aura of an Envoy. It turned out that there was actually an Envoy on the mountain.
Wen Sansi and Lei Nü each took out a power vessel at the same time that they shot away. As soon as they left the mountain, the power vessels shattered. Everyone else who had been on Mount Shaoyou was dead.
