Chapter 397: Yu Secret Ar (2/2)

Lu Yin learned all of this through the reports that had been sent to the person he had Possessed. As it turned out, this person’s identity was not simple. He held a rather high position In the Specter Clan and was qualified to stand beside this Corpse King Hunter as equals, even though the Specter Clan member was just an Explorer.

Lu Yin had received a dizzying number of messages in a short span, and they were all related to the Neohuman Alliance and the Seven Courts. Lu Yin had no thoughts of experiencing an Explorer’s strength and only looked out at the starry sky in a daze.

At this time, the Yōu Court spacecraft came to a stop in the heavens. Then, an intense explosion rumbled out. The Neohuman Alliance’s experts had begun assaulting the spacecraft, causing ripples to appear within the void. All of the attackers were space-exploring experts.

Within the spacecraft, Yōu Ye'er buried her head in Grandma Du’s bosom, seemingly terrified.

Grandma Du had a determined expression. “These entrails of the Neohuman Alliance actually dare to attack the little princess! The Yōu Court and the Sword Sect definitely will not let them off.”

The eyes of one of the Corpse Kings turned scarlet red as it ferociously charged towards Grandma Du, greeting her with a punch. She shouted as star energy surged around her, blocking the Corpse King.

Boom!

The shockwave shook the spacecraft, and Grandma Du spat out a mouthful of blood. Despite the fact that she was a Cruiser, there was still too large a disparity between her and the Corpse King for her to compete against its physical strength.

The Corpse King attacked again.

Grandma Du frantically pushed Yōu Ye'er aside. “Little Princess, RUN!”

The old woman valiantly clashed against the Corpse King as an indescribably terrifying luster surrounded her body. With her body at the center, the light shot out to engulf half of the spacecraft, including the Yōu Court’s expert and the Corpse King. Everyone was immersed in Grandma Du’s venom.

Even the Explorer realm Corpse King could not withstand her fatal venom, and everyone melted away.

Yōu Ye'er donned the universal armor and fled from the spacecraft as she sorrowfully watched Grandma Du’s tragic death.

There was another blast as the second half of the spacecraft exploded.

Yōu Ye'er was sent flying by the shockwave and gazed back once again. There was no longer a Yōu Court spacecraft in the heavens; only a Corpse King remained, with grey eyes.

Hidden in a distant spacecraft, Lu Yin frowned. Grey pupils indicated that this person was a Mutant Corpse King, which meant that the Neohuman Alliance had sent two mutated Corpse Kings for this operation. One was even a Hunter, which showed that they regarded the Yōu Court as rather important. Even if it was just a suspicion, they had still sent out such formidable powerhouses. It was similar to the annihilation of the Great Yu Empire’s Yushan family, where even the corpses had vanished.

Lu Yin felt some sympathy for the surviving girl.

With the numerous messages that the gadget on Lu Yin’s wrist had received, he now knew why the Yōu family in the Seven Courts no longer had a secret technique. The Yōu family’s secret technique could only be passed down to a single individual, which was vastly different from the Yu Secret Art that could be learned and cultivated by anyone with enough talent.

Lu Yin was still going through the messages as Yōu Ye'er, who was floating in space, stared at the approaching Mutant Corpse King with his grey pupils. She suddenly became very calm, a complete change from her previous terror.

“So many years have passed, and yet, you people still discovered it. That means that there’s someone from your Neohuman Alliance inside the Seven Courts,” Yōu Ye'er softly spoke to herself. She was obviously only around twelve and was a very young girl. However, the expression on her face and her placid tone was enough to cause even Lu Yin to tremble.

Lu Yin could not scan through the incoming messages anymore, and he intently stared outside the spacecraft.

In another place, that Hunter realm Corpse King’s eyes went wide as he similarly stared at that point in space.

“Since you guys want to know so badly, I’ll fulfill your desires. Understand at the price of your death.” Yōu Ye'er raised her pretty face, revealing eyes that were as cold as the depths of hell. Ripples emanated out, causing Lu Yin to feel waves of cold wash over him. This was not a reaction to overwhelming power, but an instinctual response to an unclear and unknown threat, a threat to all living beings.

“Yōu Secret Art—Age Concealment,” Yōu Ye'er calmly stated. The next moment, an unbelievable change took place before Lu Yin’s eyes as his understanding of the universe was completely toppled; Yōu Ye'er grew up.

This brat had been only about ten years old before, but the moment she used the secret art, her body matured until she was a twenty-some year old woman with a gorgeous appearance and cold eyes. It was just like seeing a venomous flower bloom in the heavens.

This transformation shocked not only Lu Yin, but also the Hunter Corpse King beside him.

Yōu Ye'er’s lips held a faint smile. “Shocking, isn’t it? This is the Yōu Secret Art, which allows the changes of time to be hidden away. It’s passed down singly within the bloodline, but this is what you want. Now die, along with this secret.”

An elder suddenly appeared next to Yōu Ye'er.

The elder had appeared silently, almost as if he had always been there, existing forever.

At the elder’s appearance, the Hunter Corpse King beside Lu Yin was overwhelmed. “Seven Courts’ Yōu elder, Yōu Yifan.”

The elder looked up and glanced at the hidden spacecraft off in the distance. He then lightly tapped against the void, causing the entire region of the universe to quiver.

The next moment, Lu Yin’s vision turned to ash. The planets, natural phenomena, dark space, and everything visible vanished. This was a boundlessly terrifying strength, and it reminded Lu Yin of when he had encountered Northgate Taisui. This elder was an old freak with a power level in the hundreds of thousands.

Beside Lu Yin, the Hunter Corpse King’s eyes turned grey, then green, before he leaped up in an attempt to escape.
