Chapter 844: The Start Of The Counterattack (1/2)

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. “Pyrolyte’s too destructive.”

“We’ve already considered that as well,” Qiong Xi’er answered. “We should gather everyone, attack Technocracy, and then detonate it in their territory.”

Lu Yin thought about it, as it wouldn’t be easy for the Human Domain to retaliate.

“Actually, it’s very easy to launch a counterattack.” Wei Rong smiled confidently as he continued, saying, “We just have to let the Sixth Mainland know that we intend to retaliate against them.”

“Rather, the hardest part will be ensuring that the Arrow Mountain Elder can safely return and that our forces avoid Ancestor Mojiang before we detonate the pyrolyte,” Qiong Xi’er explained.

Lu Yin understood what they meant. “I’ll speak to the Arrow Mountain Elder and the Hall of Honor.”

Wei Rong and the others soon left.

Zhu San glared at Lu Yin angrily before leaving as well.

Lu Yin considered their plan some more, as it wasn't a great plan. It was actually quite a predictable method to use in a normal battle. However, this was a battle that involved countless people from all parts of the Outerverse, and even the Hall of Honor would be wary of incurring any excessive losses. Thus, they might not have even thought of retaliating as they wouldn’t be able to withstand the losses if the attack failed.

The outcome of a failed attack would be devastating, and the person who suggested the attack could very well become a huge sinner in all of the defenders’ eyes. Hence, most people wouldn’t even dare to propose such an idea.

There was no perfect plan in the universe, and all plans had a possibility of failure. What mattered was whether or not one was able to withstand the consequences of failure.

Lu Yin took a deep breath, as was time for him to meet with Yuan Shi.

However, he first had to upgrade the poisons. If they were able to use his upgraded poisons during this possible counterattack, then the plan would definitely be more effective.

Lu Yin returned to the same secluded place as before and went back to rolling his die. There was a new innate gift on Gift Copy now, and the image was that of a pair of hands. This was Qiong Xi’er’s innate gift: analysis. It was similar to Huan Sha’s innate gift, though not entirely the same.

Lu Yin didn’t pay much attention to the new innate gift. This time, he remembered to set his cosmic ring aside so that he wouldn’t enter that dark space if he rolled Possession again. He would still have enough time to pick up his cosmic ring even if he rolled Timestop.

He rolled Pilfer on his next attempt, and a sword fell from the sky. Lu Yin exerted a bit of force, snapped the sword in half, and angrily threw it away as it was worthless. He took his die out and activated it once again, hoping that he would be able to succeed since this would be his final roll for now.

Luckily, Lu Yin managed to roll Enhance. He was ecstatic, and he quickly took out the poisons that he had obtained from Elder Wu.

Now that he had experienced more of the universe, Lu Yin was no longer as intimidated by Elder Wu’s poisons. This was especially true from the perspective of the current battlefield as these poisons couldn’t cause much harm to Imprinters. He had to upgrade these poisons to the point where their rune lines reached a power level of around 400,000 before they would have any effect on Imprinters.

He placed a poison on the upper light screen and dumped a large amount of star essence out.

He wasn’t sure about what effect the poison would have, though he guessed that it would be very scary.

Even Hunters might not be able to amass 600,000 star essence throughout their entire lifetime, but Lu Yin had spent such an amount on just one bottle of poison.

He almost went on to continue upgrading a few more bottles, but he decided to wait until after he tested this upgraded poison out before upgrading any of the other vials.

However, he didn’t want to waste this opportunity since he had rolled Enhance, and he took out ten natural treasures.

These ten natural treasures had been gifted to him by Shamrock Enterprises when he had become the leader of the Great Eastern Alliance. They were each ten thousand years old, but they had not reached the point where they instinctively avoided danger yet.

He only needed to spend a few hundred star essence each to upgrade them to the point where they would instinctively avoid danger.

He rifled through his cosmic ring and also found five grams of pyrolyte, though pyrolyte couldn’t be upgraded. He then noticed the Arrow of Valiance which already had rune lines equivalent to a power level of 250,000. He wanted to upgrade it and then let the Arrow Mountain Elder use it. However, since he had obtained the Arrow of Valiance from Neo-Vestige Sect’s Arrow Mountain, he would definitely be exposed if he gave the upgraded arrow to the Arrow Mountain Elder, and he didn’t want to risk exposing his greatest secret.

There was nothing else in his ring that was worth upgrading.

Suddenly, Lu Yin noticed the poison from the Neohuman Alliance: Regression No. 91.

Lu Yin paused for a moment, but then ultimately decided to upgrade the poison.

He placed the poison on the light screen and quickly threw out another handful of star essence. The bottle only descended about a tenth of the way after 10,000 star essence were consumed.

Lu Yin was stunned; how could this be? This meant that a complete upgrade would require spending at least 100,000 star essence, but why did this poison require such a massive sum? This poison didn’t have that many rune lines either.

Since he had already started upgrading the poison, Lu Yin didn’t want to give up. He took a deep breath and threw 100,000 star essence onto the screen. But after that, the bottle was still a slight bit away from the bottom screen.

In the end, he managed to fully upgrade the poison after expending 120,000 star essence in total.

Lu Yin was astonished, as the amount of star essence required to upgrade an item would increase with how rare the item was. However, Lu Yin had never upgraded anything that required such a large amount of star essence. He had only used 15,000 star essence to upgrade his universal armor to the point where it could defend against attacks with a power level of 300,000.

This poison was on a completely different level.
