Chapter 344: War (2/2)

“It’s rumored that the Outerverse Youth Council found traces of Corpse Kings from the Neohuman Alliance in those planets, and for that reason, sealed them off right away.”

Yan Wujiu’s eyes twitched, and he frowned before lifting his gadget. “Have the troops on Crimson Planet, Zhongan Planet, and Shia Planet gather and retreat from those planets.”

However, Yan Wujiu’s orders were rejected; the three planets had already been completely sealed off.

“Our most powerful troops and ships are stationed on those three planets! With them sealed off, our power level has been reduced by at least half!”

Yan Wujiu’s eyes shone as he quickly turned his gadget on once again. He was planning on contacting Yan Feng and telling him that he had to enter Blaze Realm right away without arguing for any conditions. This had to happen quickly because something felt off to him. But at that moment, Yan Chong’s device beeped with an alert, causing him to take a look.

However, he became startled at what he saw. “The military on the planets is in chaos. None of the ships can be mobilized!”

Yan Wujiu ignored Yan Chong and stared at his own device. Right now, it was impossible for him to send anything from his device because Firesmelt Planet itself had been sealed!

A moment later, the flames on Firesmelt Planet seemed to soar as black flames descended, headed straight for Yan Wujiu.

Yan Wujiu looked at the sky with a stern expression. “So it’s you, Huo Qingshan?”

Above the planet, Huo Qingshan had a cold look on his face as he responded, “Back then, the victor between us wasn’t decided during that battle in the Blaze Realm. Your current power level is 170,000, but I’m still far from that. Would you like to battle with me, Yan Wujiu?”

Yan Wujiu was absolutely furious. Countless experts from Firesmelt Planet tore through the void and attacked the opposing forces in outer space. Meanwhile, the Thirteen Imperial Squadrons’ captains from the Great Yu Empire, Rocky Auna, Liuying Zishan, and the rest, all attacked. This force included the vice-captains, and each one of them was at the Explorer realm at the minimum. Outside of Firesmelt Planet, dozens of powerhouses engaged in battle.

Yan Wujiu yelled, “Does your Great Yu Empire truly wish to start a war with us?”

“The war began on the day of Yan Feng’s wedding. By the order of the Royal Regent, we are to eliminate Firesmelt Planet,” Huo Qingshan sternly responded before charging in.

Yan Wujiu yelled and leaped straight at Huo Qingshan. A moment later, a sea of flames erupted, covering the entire planet. The blaze distorted the void and spread far and wide.

This was a battle between Hunters who were able to destroy the void.

Countless people quivered in terror down below on Firesmelt Planet as they watched the burning sky. The fire, blood, shockwaves, and remnant attacks from the battles breaking out everywhere left them cowering in fear. This was Firesmelt Planet’s doomsday, and all of its experts died pitifully.

Yan Chong was enraged. He did everything he could to block Liuying Zishan’s attacks, but his eyes turned bloodshot as he became extremely vexed. His battle power exceeded Liuying Zishan’s, but why couldn’t he win? It was because the Flash Step technique that Undying Yushan had passed down to the Thirteen Squadrons was a movement-type battle technique that was too much for Yan Chong to handle.

Even further away, on a planet near Firesmelt Planet that was meant to protect it, Da Lei killed a Limiteer from Firesmelt Planet. He was surrounded by other members of the Great Yu Empire’s Thirteen Squadrons, and enraged shouts filled the air.

Firesmelt Planet’s warships had all been sealed away, and many areas were being bombarded by explosives from the Great Yu Empire’s warships. Numerous powerhouses had already died in the attack.

Firesmelt Planet was a powerful force that was second only to the Great Yu Empire within the Frostwave Weave. While its main headquarters consisted of just a single planet, it housed a large number of powerhouses on that planet. On this day, however, this planet would be the grave for all of them.

This was the plan that Undying Yushan had come up with in the past to eliminate Firesmelt Planet. He had spent many careful years ironing out all of the details, and his plan was flawless.

On Crimson Planet, Firesmelt Planet’s army stirred, eager to join the battle.

Lu Yin, who was standing in the front courtyard of San Dios, calmly watched the screen. With merciless eyes, he ordered, “Kill all who oppose us.”

One sentence. Five words. That was all it took to sentence countless people to death.

There was no way for Firesmelt Planet to win against the Great Yu Empire in a head-on fight. In the past, Lu Yin hadn’t understood why that was so. Now, however, he had a deep understanding of how powerful the Great Yu Empire truly was. Undying Yushan was a successor of the “Yu” surname of the Seven Courts, which was one of the Three Dark Hands. The battle techniques that he had passed onto the Great Yu Empire were not something that any other organization in the Outerverse could equal.

Even with Lu Yin’s current strength, Flash Step was still as powerful as ever. It was evident how terrifying this movement technique was, as it allowed many experts from the empire to challenge enemies who were more powerful in terms of raw power level.

Besides, Undying Yushan had given his squadrons more than just the Flash Step technique; there were other battle techniques as well, and they were all skills that were out of reach of any ordinary organization in the Outerverse. Firesmelt Planet was way too weak in comparison to the Great Yu Empire.

The entirety of Firesmelt Planet was stained red. Countless organizations that were subservient to Firesmelt Planet coldly watched on. Nobody in the Frostwave Weave could stop the Great Yu Empire right now. Although the empire had been weakened by the Ross Empire in the past, it was even more terrifying that they had been able to stand up against the Ross Empire at all. Nobody could have imagined such a thing.

Lu Yin quietly watched the screen and then moved behind Barley.

“Just a word from you started a whole war, Seventh Bro,” the Ghost Monkey commented in a complex tone.

Lu Yin appeared to be deep in thought as well. War brought calamity, suffering, death, and the loss of emotion with it. It was the most evil word in the universe, but today, he was the one who had initiated it.

Firesmelt Planet was doomed. The plan that Undying Yushan had come up with was truly perfect, and at the moment, Firesmelt Planet could only utilize about 30% of its true might. It was already completely certain that they would be defeated here.

The Blind Monk and Peach hadn’t even taken part in this war.

What followed Firesmelt Planet’s defeat would be numerous people becoming homeless and countless families being broken.

Lu Yin hated this, but what else could he do? This war was inevitable. If he hadn’t done anything, then Firesmelt Planet would have joined the Blaze Realm, putting great pressure on the Great Yu Empire. At that time, the people in trouble would have been the people of the Great Yu Empire.
