Chapter 1705: Shangwu’s Technique

Although the master of the Red Moon Dynasty was a powerful Enlighter, he did nothing to help his people or fight back as he watched the Lu Elite Troops slaughter his people. The man did not even dare to kill a single soldier, as he was terrified of inciting the Great Eastern Alliance’s direct animosity.

Lu Yin appeared in outer space and faced the ruler of the Red Moon Dynasty.

When the middle-aged man saw Lu Yin show himself, the man instantly grew respectful. “So it’s actually Alliance Leader Lu himself. Might I ask why the Great Eastern Alliance has moved against me and my Red Moon Dynasty?”

A smile crept across Lu Yin’s face as he slowly raised a hand up high before dropping it down. He had just attacked the Red Moon Dynasty’s imperial palace.

A Vacuum Palm shot out, and the Enlighter in front of Lu Yin did not even have a chance to react. The void trembled as the palace instantly shattered. Besides that, Lu Yin’s attack also tore through the void and shot through the entire planet. After that, numerous pairs of slitted, scarlet eyes opened deep underground.

The middle-aged man whirled around, and he saw the scarlet eyes appear in the bowels of his planet. Desperation filled the man’s eyes; he had been discovered, but how?

“You have collaborated with the Neohuman Alliance. The Red Moon Dynasty will no longer exist in the universe,” Lu Yin declared before gently commanding, “Exterminate them all.”

Corpse kings burst out from beneath the ground, and the Lu Elite Troops responded as one. The planet was unable to endure the stress, and it was torn apart.

Over a hundred corpse kings had been hidden beneath the Red Moon Dynasty. Most of them had the strength of Limiteers, but there were more than twenty with the strength of Explorers, and fewer than five that were as powerful as Hunters. Finally, there were three with the power of an Enlighter.

Ye Wei, Ganggu Daynight, and Ying Daynight all appeared from within the Lu Elite Troops, and they moved against the Enlighter-level corpse kings.

Lu Yin remained focused on the underground space, as there were still a terrifying number of rune lines there. There was a corpse king with the strength of an Envoy present. After all, this place was the Neohuman Alliance’s headquarters for the Innerverse and Outerverse.

The middle-aged man who was the Red Moon Dynasty’s emperor ground his teeth and suddenly attacked Lu Yin. With this attack, the red moon paled in the sky, and all of the power within it seemed to be drawn out, boosting his attack until its strength approached the power of an Envoy.

However, such an attack was just a joke to Lu Yin. He raised a hand and destroyed the middle-aged man with a Vacuum Palm. A single attack shattered the man’s body into pieces and continued on, striking the Envoy-realm corpse king still underground.

At the same time, several of the nearby planets were also attacked. The Lu Elite Troops were not the only ones making a move, as there was also the Allied Forces and the colossal giants. All of the planets that were attacked had corpse kings hidden within them.

The Allied Forces’ battleships swept throughout Basong Flowzone.

In outer space, another corpse king with the strength of an Envoy appeared, and instantly, hundreds of battleships were eliminated.

One by one, more corpse kings revealed themselves in all parts of Basong Flowzone.

Inside the flagship, Balsam stared on in a daze. So the truth was that the Great Eastern Alliance had moved out to destroy the Neohuman Alliance! How had Lu Yin known that so many corpse kings were hidden in this place?

The Allied Forces had completely surrounded Basong Flowzone, and the moment the corpse kings appeared, news quickly spread through the Innerverse.

The Hall of Honor was instantly alerted, and their Expeditionary Forces were immediately dispatched while the overseers were called to a council meeting.

The Neohuman Alliance was humanity’s greatest enemy, and this was true not only of the Human Domain. As soon as a corpse king appeared anywhere, regardless of the time or situation, it had to be destroyed as soon as possible.

While all this was happening, the flowzones bordering Basong Flowzone received orders to seal off the flowzone and assist the Great Eastern Alliance in destroying all of the Neohuman Alliance’s forces.

War enveloped the entire Basong Flowzone.

When Lu Yin had been in Gaia’s Swamp, Lǜ Yan had cautioned him that there would be powerhouses at the Neohuman Alliance’s headquarters with power levels of over a million, and Lu Yin was finally seeing it for himself.

In the depths of the Red Moon Dynasty’s home planet, a pair of scarlet eyes opened. At the same time, space froze as a feeling of terror welled up from the depths of everyone’s hearts. At this moment, they felt as though there was a sharp blade hanging over their necks. After all, they were being targeted by their natural predator.

The Second Nightking and Liu Huang glanced at each other with frowns. At their peak condition, they had each possessed a power level of more than a million, but neither of them were currently able to stand up to such a powerhouse. Even if they worked together, they could not face such an expert, let alone one that was a corpse king.

The Neohuman Alliance’s corpse kings were always terrifying, especially when they were capable of undergoing a corpse king Transformation, which would drastically improve their strength.

A black line rose out of the ground that split the entire region in two. Everyone watched on in horror as a pair of scarlet eyes with vertical pupils appeared. The sight caused a chill to rise in their hearts.

No matter if it was the Lu Elite Troops, the colossal giants, or the cultivators from the Red Moon Dynasty, everyone felt a chill run down their spines at this moment.

The young man from Peacemound Planet hid himself beneath some stone, and he hung his head as he trembled. Just the sight of those eyes caused him to be overcome with fear. Was that a cultivator? How could anyone raise their strength to such a level?

The appearance of a corpse king with a power level of over a million instantly changed everything on the battlefield. This was how things worked in interstellar wars: absolute power determined everything.

Lu Yin’s expression was no different from normal. Who cared about a corpse king with a power level of a million? After all, he had already faced Semi-Progenitor level corpse kings before.

This particular corpse king looked just like an ordinary person, and if not for its scarlet eyes, no one would have noticed anything strange about it at all.

The corpse king looked at Lu Yin and raised a hand, but Lu Yin just arched a brow. “Your opponent isn’t me.”

After he spoke, a figure emerged behind the corpse king, and the creature spun around as its eyes went wide. It threw out a punch that shattered the void before fleeing into the true universe. The person who had just appeared suddenly looked up. “Lu Yin, stay back.”

An astral chessboard appeared beneath Lu Yin’s feet, and he moved.

The person who had appeared to fight the corpse king was Yuan Shi.

Lǜ Yan had cautioned Lu Yin to be wary of the Neohuman Alliance’s headquarters precisely because of the existence of a corpse king with a power level of more than a million, so Lu Yin’s only choice was to rely on a powerhouse with a comparable level of power.

Yuan Shi had previously fought in battles where Lu Yin had been present, but Lu Yin had never been able to clearly see Yuan Shi fight, as such powerhouses conducted their battles in the true universe. In the past, Lu Yin had not been able to observe the true universe, but at this moment, he was able to clearly watch Yuan Shi’s battle.

No matter if Yuan Shi and the corpse king fought in the true universe or the visible universe, Lu Yin could watch their fight.

The corpse king with a power level of more than a million was not just any corpse king, but one with an innate gift. It was able to release things that looked like snowflakes to block Yuan Shi’s attacks, but they were not as durable as Wen Sansi’s barrier. Yuan Shi showed no innate gift, but he still easily evaded all of the corpse king’s attacks.

Space shattered, and images of Yuan Shi and the corpse king frequently appeared in every direction. They gradually moved away from the Red Moon Dynasty’s home planet, and their fight started to encompass the entire Basong Flowzone. For such experts, Basong Flowzone was actually too cramped.

There was a loud explosion as one of the Allied Forces’ battleships blew up, and then several more did so in rapid succession. All of this destruction was caused by the mere shockwaves from the fight between Yuan Shi and the corpse king.

Within the true universe, the corpse king stared at Yuan Shi. Fists and palms collided, and the faux snowflakes spread out from Yuan Shi’s arm. The man’s expression remained stoic, and he simply shook his arm to shake off the snowflake-shaped substance. He slapped out with a palm attack, and it multiplied without end. Countless palm images rained down upon the corpse king, who responded with a near-infinite amount of the faux snowflakes. Each impact spread out from the true universe into the visible universe.

The corpse king’s innate gift covered all directions, but it was impossible for the creature to trap Yuan Shi. Even when the man did become trapped, he easily escaped. The corpse king was actually helpless against its opponent.

The faux snowflakes covered everything in Basong Flowzone. Regardless of what they touched, whether it be planets, spacecraft, or other celestial bodies, everything shattered.

All of Basong Flowzone was shaking.

“That’s the Hall of Honor’s Shangwu’s Technique,” the Second Nightking said quietly. “That’s Yuan Shi.”

Liu Huang looked up. “The Hall of Honor’s most respected elder? Have you seen him before?”

“Of course I’ve seen him before. He’s from the same generation as the First Nightking,” the Second Nightking replied.

“I’ve heard that the Hall of Honor teaches Shangwu’s Technique. I’ve heard of it, and it’s said to be a method that requires great dedication, but after being mastered, one can use it to discern their opponent’s weaknesses in a similar manner as the Seven Courts’ Hui family’s secret technique. However, I’ve never heard of anyone using it throughout the years. He must be the first to have successfully cultivated it, and it makes him a very difficult opponent,” Liu Huang said admiringly.

Above the Red Moon Dynasty, Lu Yin frowned. It appeared that Yuan Shi would not be able to defeat this corpse king easily. At this thought, Lu Yin looked over to Liu Huang and ordered, “Attack.”

Liu Huang’s expression soured. Given his current state, everything would be over for him the moment the corpse king made a move.

Lu Yin took out the Chief Justice’s bell and rang it.

Far out in outer space, within the true universe, the fight between the corpse king and Yuan Shi froze for a moment. Even in his peak condition, the Second Nightking had not been able to endure the Chief Justice’s pressure. All the Second Nightking had felt was the sky falling down on him in the shape of a hand.

Lu Yin was the first to recover from the daze induced by the Chief Justice’s bell’s ring, as he had been the one to ring it. Right after him, the corpse king and Yuan Shi recovered.

As soon as Yuan Shi woke up, he immediately took out Progenitor Wushang’s hide and held it up to the corpse king. He had coordinated this with Lu Yin beforehand.

The moment the corpse king recovered, it was instantly met with the sight of Progenitor Wushang’s hide, which dazed the creature once again, causing its eyes to grow dull.

Liu Huang seized this opportunity by attacking with a sword formed from stellular energy. It was the Fourteenth Sword.

Sword qi swept out and slashed through the corpse king.

Lu Yin carefully watched everything occur.

However, there was no response from the corpse king.

Lu Yin’s heart sank. Liu Huang had not yet recovered to his full strength, and at the moment, the best that he could do was release attacks with power levels of a bit more than 700,000. Lu Yin had hoped that the Fourteenth Sword would still be able to affect the corpse king, but it was a corpse king, and the result was even worse than Lu Yin had imagined. The Fourteenth Sword, Misery, had no effect on the creature.

Yuan Shi slapped a hand into the corpse king’s chest, knocking it flying.

Liu Huang felt helpless. “I’m sorry, Alliance Leader Lu, but it doesn’t work.”

Lu Yin frowned. He glanced at the Second Nightking, but it only took a moment’s thought to remember that spiritual force was even less effective on corpse kings than the Fourteenth Sword.

As for the Second Nightking, he was quite upset, as he felt that he was being underestimated. He stared at the corpse king fiercely fighting with the Yuan Shi. Even if Lu Yin was underestimating him, he was not wrong, as his current strength was insufficient to do anything at all to the corpse king.

At the border of Basong Flowzone, battleships fired beams of light, and two corpse kings had holes blasted through their chests as they shot out into space. Their bodies were soon completely destroyed. Some distance away, the Red Moon Dynasty’s fleet had appeared, and they were attacking the Allied Forces.

Hunters appeared from the Allied Forces and took direct action, destroying the enemy fleet.

Ian stared at a screen with a solemn expression. The Allied Forces had already sealed off all of the tributary Astral Rivers connected to Basong Flowzone, which was no different from completely encircling the flowzone. With the exception of Enlighters and above, it was nearly impossible for cultivators to cross the tributary Astral Rivers without assistance.

The Red Moon Dynasty had very few Enlighters, and all of them were targets of the Lu Elite Troops, so Ian did not need to worry about them. Instead, he was concerned about the corpse kings.

No one knew just how many powerful corpse kings were hiding in the flowzone.

He noticed snowflakes flying about far away, and Ian immediately shouted, “Number 792, retreat!”

As he spoke, a distant battle ship quickly pulled back, avoiding contact with the faux snowflakes.

Ian did not know where these things were coming from, and he could not find the source, but he had already discovered that anything touched by it would be destroyed, including the battleships. One of the Allied Forces’ Hunters had tried to block the snow, only to be destroyed as well.

Suddenly, the battleship shook, and Ian nearly lost his footing. The red light in the command center flickered on, and an alarm rang.

“Admiral, enemies have boarded the ship!” someone shouted.

Ian barked back, “Find their location and request backup!”

Bang!

There was a boom, and Ian turned around to see the command center’s door break open. He stared into a pair of slitted, scarlet eyes.
