Chapter 345: Unofficial Ruler (1/2)
Lu Yin no longer wanted to be a mere ant, waiting to be sacrificed. He would never forget his near-death experience on Driftcharge Planet. Although they had initially been in the same boat, Zhuo Daynight had been sent off without suffering any injuries while Lu Yin had been tossed onto a doomed planet to be eaten by slaves. That was the difference that one’s backing could make. This was the reality of the universe.
I will never let such a thing ever happen to me again. Lu Yin clenched his fists as his heart grew cold.
Barley observed Lu Yin and noticed the change in Lu Yin’s gaze. Barley sighed; he wasn’t afraid that Lu Yin would become too merciless. Rather, he was more worried that Lu Yin might be too kind. War was a very commonplace occurrence in the universe. Many organizations were crushed, and countless people died, all on a daily basis. If Lu Yin was too kind, then his future achievements would be limited.
Lu Yin was still just a student, and Barley was afraid that he might have bet on the wrong person. But by the looks of it, he hadn’t been wrong in supporting Lu Yin. This war would not only alter the situation in the Frostwave Weave, but it would also be a life changing experience for Lu Yin. This person’s future achievements are sure to exceed everyone’s expectations.
At the other end of San Dios, Puyu looked down. Lu Yin had made use of his own influence as a representative of the Outerverse Youth Council to seal off Firesmelt Planet’s three most important military bases. This wasn’t a huge issue, but it wasn’t a trivial one either. Puyu immediately sent out orders to have a report generated and sent to the Ten Arbiters Council.
Elsewhere, Wen Sansi and Mira watched a screen that showed the progress of the ongoing war in Firesmelt Planet.
“He’s pretty ruthless and decisive. That’s good,” Wen Sansi sighed in praise.
Mira frowned. “Lu Yin made use of his authority in the Outerverse Youth Council for personal gain. That might be a problem.”
Wen Sansi’s lips quirked up. “If the position doesn’t allow for even this small amount of authority, then there would be no reason for anyone to join the Ten Arbiters Council.”
Mira’s eyes lit up. “I understand, sir.”
In outer space, near Firesmelt Planet’s main planet, black and red flames collided and tore through space. Huo Qingshan was weaker than Yan Wujiu by tens of thousands of battle power. Technically, he should have been on the losing end. And yet, the two were currently on equal footing.
Each and every one of their attacks burned the void and reduced it to nothingness.
Huo Qingshan waved his arm, and black flames spread out, accompanied by an indescribable shockwave that went head to head against the Blazesword. Space rippled around the impact like ocean waves.
“Scram, Huo Qingshan! My Firesmelt Planet has already made the decision to leave the Frostwave Weave. We will never take part in any decision taken by the Frostwave Weave.”
Huo Qingshan’s eyes filled with bloodlust. “You want to join the Blaze Realm.”
Yan Wujiu’s eyes went wide. “How do you know?”
All of a sudden, he felt a chill engulf his back, as if his entire body had been frozen. Snow danced about in front of him, and his expression quickly changed as he shouted, “Xueshan Auna!”
There was a bang, and Yan Wujiu coughed out a mouthful of blood as his entire body froze. Xueshan Auna walked out of the void behind Firesmelt Planet’s leader.
Huo Qingshan narrowed his eyes. He had never expected Xueshan Auna to make an appearance here.
Yan Wujiu was even more shocked, and he glared venomously at Xueshan Auna. “How despicable!”
Xueshan Auna calmly looked over at Yan Wujiu. “You used my daughter to stir up a dispute within the Great Yu Empire. When it comes to being despicable, you’re no worse than I am.”
“Hahaha, the winner is the one with the final say. There’s nothing that I can do about that! However, do you two really think that you can kill me? That’s impossible!” Yan Wujiu howled madly. He waved his hand and unleashed a wave of flames towards Firesmelt Planet that were intense enough to burn the void. The next moment, the planet blazed intensely, and its flames burned even hotter.
Down below on Firesmelt Planet, Yan Chong was battling with Liuying Zishan when he saw what Yan Wujiu had done. He was shocked to the core and cried out, “You can’t do this, my lord! Everyone will be burnt alive!”
Liuying Zishan immediately fled from Firesmelt Planet.
Huo Qingshan and Xueshan Auna exchanged glances and then attacked at the same time. However, they were forced backwards by an even more powerful flame.
“This is bad! Yan Wujiu is absorbing the forbidden flames of Firesmelt Planet. He’s going to destroy the entire planet to increase his strength!” Huo Qingshan had a glum look.
“We need to stop him!” Xueshan Auna sounded anxious.
However, it was already too late. Firesmelt Planet had transformed into an ocean of flames. Yan Chong had been burnt to death amidst his ear-splitting howls along with numerous other people on the planet who didn’t even have the chance to scream.
Countless lives had been lost on just one planet. It was a terrible tragedy.
Yan Wujiu soared into the sky as the flames surrounding him increased in temperature. The void kept collapsing around him, unable to handle the heat. “You forced me to do this! Die! I swear that I’ll definitely get revenge!”
After saying that, he aimed his sword at Huo QIngshan and Xueshan Auna.
Meanwhile, back on San Dios, Lu Yin became increasingly worried. Yan Wujiu had been incredibly merciless and killed all of his own people just to grasp a chance to escape. It would be an absolute calamity if he was not killed today.
Yan Wujiu’s brutal actions shocked even Wen Sansi. “He’s not suited for the Human Domain. His value would be brought out the most at the border or at Gaia's Swamp.”
“Can the Great Yu Empire stop him?” Mira asked.
