Chapter 414: Vanish (2/2)

The monkey fell into despair. “During the many years I’ve roamed the Astral Beast Domain, I’ve gone to many strange places and read many famous journals. I once even visited an Envoy’s grave, and I managed to live through all that. I’ve never heard of a mountain that can cause people to vanish, and I never dreamed that I would appear in such a place. My dear Feng Jiu, my Celestial Ice Phoenix harem! Seventh Bro, this is all your fault!”

“Alright, enough with the melodrama. Why don’t you come up with a way to help me climb up? The exit might actually be at the top.”

“Let’s hope so. Seventh Bro, our destiny will determine whether or not we survive.” The monkey was extremely depressed.

Lu Yin took a deep breath, and his expression firmed. Since he had to climb, he would go all-out. He refused to believe that he would actually die here.

Lu Yin didn’t know exactly how tall the mountain was; he only knew that he could not see the peak and that he had no other fate besides climbing up.

Eventually, he even lost sight of the ocean’s surface. He could only make himself look upwards.

One hour, two hours… One day, two days…

Lu Yin climbed for five days, only occasionally taking a break whenever he became tired and exchanging some words with the monkey before continuing on with the climb. The scenery along the way remained completely monotonous. The higher he climbed, the further he could see. He could see the forest, the white beach, and once in a while, he could even see a black dot that represented either a person or a war spirit.

The people in the forest definitely could not see Lu Yin, and none of them would have ever thought that there was someone climbing up the sheer face of that tall mountain.

As Lu Yin continued to climb the mountain, the Great Yu Empire’s war to recapture Frostwave Weave was coming to a conclusion.

The captains of the Great Yu Empire’s Thirteen Imperial Squadrons were all at least at the Cruiser realm, and there were few in the entire Frostwave Weave who could rival them. When Undying Yushan had been in power, he had worked hard to formulate a strategy to unite the entire Frostwave Weave under the Great Yu Empire’s rule. Just as when the empire eliminated Firesmelt Planet, everything had already been planned out.

As long as no other powers entered the fray, it would be nearly effortless for the Great Yu Empire to unite Frostwave Weave.

Unification relied on military force while governance relied on stability and economy. The Great Yu Empire was experiencing an economic depression, and even though it received the financial support from Innerverse powers like the Watermoon Mountain, its military power was too great, causing the surrounding weaves to coordinate and embargo its economy. This led to Frostwave Weave’s economy remaining handicapped, to the point where even if they managed to unite the entire weave, the empire would still crumble and decline because of the failing economy.

Huo Qingshan and the others had tried to contact Lu Yin for several days to ask Lu Yin to make an executive decision, but they were unable to reach him.

As for Wendy Yushan, she had gone into seclusion to practice the Yu Secret Art.

Under these helpless circumstances, the Great Yu Empire’s only choice was to slow down on their plans to unify the weave and begin to take advantage of the many captured planets in order to maintain the economy.

The Chaos Flowzone was one of the Innerverse’s eight great Flowzones, and it was also the place where the Innerverse’s dark side gathered. Within the Chaos Flowzone, order was disorder. and the cultivators there only respected the strong.

There was a planet in the Chaos Flowzone called Deep Crimson Planet that was governed by the Deep Crimson Hall, and it was also the hall’s headquarters. Deep Crimson Hall was one of the powers living in the Chaos Flowzone, but it only governed one territory. It was nothing compared to Chaosgod Mountain, and it could be destroyed at any time. But even still, it had its own methods of survival.

Within a giant city on Deep Crimson Planet, there was an unending flow of flying machinery. The traffic was especially intense at night when the routes around the city were sealed in order to be used as race tracks.

Everyone knew that this city’s owner, Wu Pa, enjoyed exciting aircraft competitions and raced every night. The races featured modified aircraft, and this night was no different than any other.

Dozens of vehicles shuttled back and forth, causing the air to distort before vanishing further down on the race track.

Wu Pa’s face revealed an excited expression as his aircraft zoomed about, overtaking three of his competitors, one after another. He laughed maniacally, as none of the other machines gave way to each other, but no one would compete with Wu Pa.

Wu Pa’s flying style was extremely brutal; he had a penchant for crashing into others, which caused the other racers to take extra care not to fly too close to him.

Gradually, Wu Pa took the lead.

Just as Wu Pa assumed that tonight’s race was concluded, one aircraft suddenly shot past the rest to violently slam against him.

Wu Pa was stunned that someone on Deep Crimson Planet would actually dare to ram him. His position in Deep Crimson Hall was not low, and he governed an entire city. On top of that, he was an Explorer whose power level was almost at 50,000. Thus, he was only a single step away from breaking through to become a Cruiser. He was among the top ten combatants even within the entire Deep Crimson Hall, and no one had ever dared to ram into him during one of these racing competitions. Despite that, something new had just happened.

Wu Pa licked his lips and ruthlessly flew his aircraft over. “Interesting.”

Boom!

Bang!

The two aircraft violently crashed against one another on the track, and sparks shot out.

The racers following behind them were stunned. Someone actually dared to openly ram into Wu Pa? Are they looking to die?

There was a mountain path ahead, and the two aircraft collided once again, and brilliant sparks sprayed out from the collision as the two vehicles streaked along the mountain path.

The moment the two aircraft went around a curve, Big Pao looked up from within the aircraft that had rammed into Wu Pa’s, and his eyes flickered with cold killing intent. His demeanor was completely different from back at the academy, and it seemed as if he had changed. He raised a hand, and star energy surged as he shouted, “Firesoul Gun!”

Big Pao shot out a star energy bullet that was boosted by two-lined battle force, and it squarely struck Wu Pa.

Wu Pa did not think that anyone would try to assassinate him here, and he reflexively raised a hand to block it. The bullet easily pierced through Wu Pa’s palm and continued traveling through his arm. It tore through the void and split the mountain route behind him in two.

Behind the two aircraft, many other racers hurriedly stopped their vehicles and sluggishly watched on as the entire mountain crumbled.
