Chapter 400: Second War King (1/2)

Lu Yin looked around some more, and true enough, what he saw now was different. There were more lines, or perhaps they should be called runes. What had happened to his eyes? Before, even when he used his domain, Cosmic Art, and the lockbreaking tool, he still couldn’t see everything that he currently could. Yet, his transformed eyes were able to do it all on their own.

When normal people looked at space, it was just space. Cultivators were able to see the movement of star energy, and their perceptive ability became clearer the stronger they became. Lockbreakers were special in that they could control the flow of star energy and levy their sensitive perception of star energy to unlock sourceboxes. Domain users could also sense such subtle changes in star energy. When Lu Yin had first obtained the Giant Emperor’s third eye, his vision had expanded. When he had first comprehended his domain, the combination of all three had allowed his senses to surpass what many could perceive, and his senses possibly even surpassing the great majority of Lockbreakers.

But all of that was different from what he currently saw: runes.

Lu Yin did not know what these runes meant. Could they be some deeper representation of energy?

Also, was there anything wrong with his eyes!

He felt an urge to ask the Trialmaster about this matter, but for some unknown reason, he also did not want to inquire too deeply about this matter. It was possible that some changes had occurred to his body but not to others, in which case there would be no benefit in revealing too many of his secrets.

Lu Yin rubbed his eyes and let out a heavy breath. He then looked around. I can’t always see these lines when looking at things in the future. That’s just unacceptable.

When he tried to withdraw the star energy from his eyes, the lines disappeared. Sure enough, star energy was the foundation of everything.

“Seventh Bro, what did you see when you ascended the Sky Platform?” The monkey was very curious.

“What do you think I saw?”

“How would I know?” The monkey rolled his eyes.

Lu Yin didn’t bother replying. The stupid monkey only seemed to respond to threats, but the reality was that the monkey understood what he should or should not say. He would not bother concealing things that Lu Yin should know, and he would also not utter a single word about things that he himself should not know.

In another corner of the universe, there was a planet covered with layers of enormous cyclones that constantly roamed about. They formed a strong protective net, and there were powerhouses soaring beneath it. The weakest person in this group was an Explorer while the strongest, a man wearing a royal gown, was a Hunter.

They appeared to be almost like normal people aside from their exceptionally long legs, which caused each one of them to be over three meters tall.

This group of space-exploring powerhouses frantically looked at the skies, and their expressions were filled with expressions of unprecedented worry and terror.

Outside the safety net of cyclones, there was a long-haired youth with his hands in his pockets. He leisurely looked down and said, “This is your last chance. Accept the Ten Arbiters Council’s authority in dealing with the trial, education, and oversight of the younger generation in the Cyclone Mainland.”

Beneath the protective net of cyclones, the middle-aged man in the royal gown spoke in a deafening voice. “Alien, the Cyclone Mainland will never bow to any threats, and it has no wish to interact with the outside world. Please leave.”

The youth raised his head arrogantly, and then rather grudgingly plucked at his hair with his fingers. “Honestly, I wouldn’t normally handle matters in such a dirty manner, but who asked you to appear in my territory.” The youth’s figure then vanished. There was not the slightest change nor any sign of displacement in the immediate nearby space. It was as if that youth had never even been there.

The crowd beneath the protective net was stunned. Where did he go?

The next moment, the entire planet trembled. The cyclones that had revolved around the planet for countless years were stripped away, layer by layer, by some invisible strength. The middle-aged man wearing the royal gown squinted, and then suddenly stared at a section of the void in shock. He raised his hand to attack, causing the void to warp. The long-haired youth reappeared, but he didn’t even look back, allowing the Hunter’s attack to land.

However, the Hunter’s attack vanished inexplicably right when it neared the long-haired man. It disappeared without a single trace, and not even a hint of a ripple could be seen.

All of the powerhouses of Cyclone Mainland were overwhelmed, and their expressions turned to that of shock.

The long-haired youth turned back around and smirked. “The Ten Arbiters cannot be harmed.” He then raised a hand and aimed at the Hunter, who soon vanished from where he stood.

The crowd was stunned; what had just happened?

“I gave you guys a chance, but none of you knew how to cherish it. In that case, there’s no need for you all to continue living,” the long-haired youth leisurely commented. There was a faint smile on his face as he looked down at the giant planet.

Not long after, the planet that had tornadoes constantly roaming about it vanished from the universe. It was like a grain of sand had been plucked from a beach; there were no changes whatsoever.

The long-haired man seemed bored as he flipped through his gadget. Suddenly, his gaze froze, and he then laughed out loud. “Someone actually managed to successfully climb the Sky Platform. Interesting, I wonder if his eyes have been opened. Perhaps I’ll no longer be alone on this path.”

Lu Yin stayed near the trial zone mountain for two days. By then, his eyes no longer felt unwell, which was a relief.

During these two days, Coco and the others left him alone.

Big Pao and Little Pao had already left Astral-10 and were heading towards the Chaos Flowzone.

Once his eyes were feeling better, Lu Yin stepped away from the trial zone mountain and arrived at the trial zone entrance. He respectfully said to the Trialmaster, “Mentor, I would like to ask for some guidance.”

The Trialmaster opened his murky eyes. “Go and get a teleportation stone first. Then you can ask me a question. One teleportation stone per question.”
