Chapter 240: War Drummer (1/2)

The Erudite Flowzone wasn’t just fighting in outer space; its entire defensive perimeter was undergoing a comprehensive preparation for the upcoming decisive battle. Numerous Void Wanderers appeared next to each planet and opened up multiple holes in the void, unleashing countless astral beasts against the human forces.

Many warships were destroyed in the first moments of the battle, but at the same time, countless beams of light bombarded the hordes of astral beasts. In that brief instance, an uncountable number of souls departed on both sides.

Shui Chuanxiao’s face was extremely ugly; he just could not understand why the normally stable Soaring Firebeast would suddenly initiate a decisive battle.

The tricolored flames descended upon the battlefield. En Ya was shocked and dumbly said, “Commander, it’s the Soaring Firebeast!”

Shui Chuanxiao snorted and then stepped out into the sky. “Soaring Firebeast, why the sudden push for a decisive battle?”

“This is a border war. Do I need a reason?” Soaring Firebeast’s loud voice resonated through the region.

Shui Chuanxiao’s eyes narrowed, “Then prepare to drown.”

“That’s up to you.”

The next second, the entire void combusted.

Lu Yin’s excitement over making some contributions from his actions hadn’t even faded yet, but a major battle had already started.

Qu Ao’s warship arrived in the sky directly above Planet Conan’s command center. This was where the most intense battle on Planet Conan was taking place.

Astral beasts filled the skies while countless spatial cracks extended into the horizon as beams of light swept out in answer to the snarls of the astral beasts.

Lu Yin stepped out of the warship, and an astral beast immediately burrowed out from underground to bite at him. He casually swatted the Melder realm beast dead and looked out to see the entire battlefield drenched with smoke and a mist of blood. Countless strange innate gifts and battle techniques dazzled the scenery as bloodlust filled the eyes of the human soldiers and astral beasts alike.

On this battlefield, there was no arguing over fairness, only massacre. Lu Yin quickly joined the fray, as his strength was second only to Explorers who were all battling in outer space; he was practically invincible on this battlefield.

Countless astral beasts were slapped dead by Lu Yin, and he did not need to use his five-lined battle force or his battle techniques. Just his raw, unadulterated physical strength was sufficient to dominate the battlefield. There were no powerhouses amongst the astral beasts, and the ones present simply could not stop Lu Yin.

On Planet Cangyuan, within a wilting and burning forest, Liu Shaoqiu beheaded a Yin Guai with a sword even as a large piece of flesh was torn out of his left arm. A moment later, multiple palm-sized Sheng Guais screeched, unleashing their sound wave attacks. Liu Shaoqiu’s eyes widened as he sliced out with the Third Sword. The attack was formless, but all the Sheng Guais were knocked unconscious by that strike while Liu Shaoqiu was struck by their sound waves, suffering heavy injuries.

Even Lu Yin found it hard to bear the Sheng Guais’ sonic attacks, let alone Liu Shaoqiu. He had only faced half the numbers that Lu Yin had faced, but he had still been heavily injured by them.

Without the two Guais, this group of astral beasts was no longer a match for Liu Shaoqiu.

After finishing them off, Liu Shaoqiu quickly retrieved the sphere from the top of the Sheng Ao’s head. He had just received the information about how this sphere detected other Sheng Aos and how it had been discovered by Lu Yin.

Although Liu Shaoqiu had lost to Lu Yin during the Astral Combat Tournament, he was unreconciled with his loss. Lu Yin was immune to the Third Sword, but that was just a matter of constitution. Also, Liu Shaoqiu had not been able to display the Fourth Sword. It had been like fighting a battle with his limbs bound, and he still felt sullen about it. His goal at the warfront had been to surpass Lu Yin, but Lu Yin had once again managed to take the lead.

He gripped the sphere as his gaze firmed up. Since he refused to accept his loss, this vague competition had to continue. Also, he had an agreement with Lu Yin to challenge the Top 100 Rankings together.

Some distance away from Liu Shaoqiu, there was a muddy and turbulent ocean composed of a strange liquid that could corrode all living beings. Silver slowly walked along the coastline. He raised his head to gaze at the sky as he basked in the rising temperature. He never thought that he would actually encounter such a rare environment as a decisive warfront battle. This was not a wasted trip. Lu Yin was also fine; it seemed that providence was on his side.

Xue Liuyun and Liu Yin were also on Planet Cangyuan, as they were also experts who had comprehended a domain.

Chao Zhi and the others were still back on Planet Conan, fighting for their lives against droves of astral beasts on some base.

Dong!

A deep, reverberating sound washed over the planet, as if a tsunami had enveloped the skies. This was the sound of a war drum whose sound resounded throughout the entire planet. Another loud resounding boom came out shortly from the neighboring planet as the beating war drums on each planet started sounding out in sync, forming a line of pulsating planets.

On the battlefields, all of the human soldiers heard the beats of the war drums, and their morale soared. An invisible strength seeped into the soldiers’ bones while the astral beasts wailed in anguish in reply. The louder the drumbeats, the greater the harm to them.

At Planet Conan’s command center, when the first war drums began to beat, Lu Yin felt as if he could see the bloodlust of his distant ancestors as an invisible strength flowed into him. This was a human inheritance that ceaselessly aroused the spirits of humans through the beating war drums. His battle force covered his body, and he rose up before pressing down with a Nine Stacks, Seventeenfold Shockwave Palm. A portion of the battlefield collapsed as a giant palm imprint crushed many of the beasts.

Roar!

Several angry howls sounded out on the battlefield as several strange beasts leaped at Lu Yin. Each one was a Limiteer, and they all possessed extreme speed. Some had powerful attacks and others tough defenses; all in all, five beasts combined forces to face off against Lu Yin.

A coldness bloomed in Lu Yin’s eyes. His fighting spirit had been ignited by the beating war drums. He unleashed five consecutive Cosmic Palms that obliterated all five beasts running at him, scattering their fresh blood onto the ground to the shock of countless onlookers.

At this point, the command center was suddenly split open as an enormous beast emerged from the void. Lu Yin had never seen such a fearsome beast before, but a mental cry came from the Ghost Monkey tattoo on his right arm. “That’s a Void Thunderbeast! Run!”
