Chapter 834: Arrival

Chapter 834: Arrival

Yuehua Mavis plucked the fruit and swallowed it in one smooth gulp. The next instant, her eyes suddenly went wide, and the emerald glow emanating from her eyes became even brighter. She then clasped her hands together before gradually opening them. The center of her palms shone with a radiance that resembled the moonlight penetrating through the void. It tore through the Triple Palm and continued shooting towards Yan Cheng. 

Yan Cheng was astonished, as this Enlighter had actually broken through his attack. At this moment, Yuehua Mavis was actually giving off a dangerous feeling to him! 

Space itself trembled as Yan Cheng faced off against Yuehua Mavis. The towering tree occasionally swayed as thin streams of green air continuously merged into Yuehua Mavis’s body. This was what was allowing her to not fall behind Yan Cheng’s greater strength as they fought. 

This was an inconceivable accomplishment, but it was really happening. 

Yuehua Mavis’s power level was just over 290,000, but she was resisting an Imprinter in a direct confrontation. 

This was the power of the Mavis family; every member had a mighty strength that normal people could not imagine. 

With Yuehua Mavis around, Yan Cheng was unable to act against the Ironblood Lavazone, and he was forced to temporarily withdraw. 

Commander Zhang appeared behind Yuehua Mavis and bowed deeply. “Thank you.” 

Yuehua Mavis looked exhausted, and the towering tree shrank into a branch that landed in her palm. “This method will not be able to hold them off for long.” 

Commander Zhang’s expression grew complex. “The Envoy-level opponents possess a strength that we cannot fight against.” 

Yuehua Mavis’s eyes narrowed, but she did not reply. 

The fight that had just concluded was nothing more than a probe. Not even two days later, the Technocracy’s full forces attacked with the Sixth Mainland, which led to an even more bitter battle for the defenders of Endless Weave’s border. This time, however, no Imprinters moved out. Instead, only experts with power levels of 200,000 to 300,000 appeared on the battlefield one after another. The Ironblood Lavazone alone fought against two powerhouses with power levels of over 300,000. If not for Yuehua Mavis, they simply would not have survived. 

The other regions were also forced to the verge of collapse. 

The Tri-Platform Lavazone did collapse, as they were not able to resist the enemy’s assault. If not for Yu Mu arriving in time, even the commander of the Tri-Platform Lavazone, Commander Baldy, would have died. 

The Hall of Honor did its all to continuously send additional reinforcements to Endless Weave. 

Behind the Greatwood Lavazone, there was a path of dark lava extending off into the distance. 

At the defensive perimeter of the border, no firearms were allowed, and that also applied to the weaponry on their spacecraft. This was to prevent the Technocracy from using technological devices to gather intelligence on the Human Domain. 

If reinforcements arrived at the border, this rough black path was the only means by which more troops could arrive. Additionally, only the most primitive means of transport could be used here, which were basic mopeds. These were the vehicles that carried new troops to the warfront. 

However, space-exploring powerhouses were exempt from this rule as they could fly straight over. 

These mopeds were basically two-wheeled cars that required the driver to use their personal strength to move them. The more power a cultivator exerted, the greater the speed of the moped. 

Above the mopeds, there were figures that streaked past one after another. 

Qiong Xi’er looked up, and she occasionally saw a space-exploring powerhouse flying off into the distance. She had already seen the massive Greatwood Lavazone that lay up ahead of her, which meant that they were getting close to the warfront. 

Behind her, Zhu San panted heavily. “Xi’er, wait for me, wait for me.” 

Qiong Xi’er felt rather depressed when she heard Zhu San’s voice. “The Hall of Honor didn’t draft you, so why are you here?” 

“Of course I’m here to protect you! You’re my wife,” Zhu San declared righteously.

Qiong Xi’er was left speechless. Instead of responding, she tossed her short hair back and continued speeding onwards.

When Qiong Xi’er and Zhu San arrived with their batch of reinforcements, the first thing they saw was a battlefield inundated in the fires of war as an endless light beam swept across the sky. On the dark surface of the lava floor, the Sixth Mainland cultivators were fighting the Fifth Mainland defenders to the death alongside countless androids that occasionally fired off fatal attacks. Above the dark lava, there were Explorers, Cruiser, Hunters, and even Enlighters tangled in close combat. 

Corpses smashed down like hailstones, never stopping for even a moment. 

On this battlefield, there were people constantly dying. 

Zhu San’s face went pale. “Xi, Xi’er, let’s find a place to hole up in.”  

Qiong Xi’er’s face had similarly gone pale, as she had never experienced such a bloody battlefield before. Was this the border warfront that Wang Wen had always been participating in? It was no wonder why that fellow had always looked down on them. Even if one considered the battle that Wei Rong had orchestrated, that battlefield was too far removed from the scale of this warfront. They were not even close to being on the same level. 

Behind the two youths, a group of cultivators dropped their mopeds and charged onto the battlefield. 

In an instant, another group of defenders had died. 

Qiong Xi’er had seen the people who had been behind them when they had been traveling here on the mopeds, and she saw how they all died in an instant. Fear gnawed at her heart. 

Above them, dozens of light beams shot towards their area. 

“Xi’er, be careful,” Zhu San hugged Qiong Xi’er and they ran. 

At the place where they had just been standing, the ground was bombarded by a barrage of light beams, and the mopeds were instantly burned to dust. 

More than ten androids landed, carrying all sorts of weapons as they opened fire on Qiong Xi’er and the others. 

Qiong Xi’er pushed Zhu San aside and leaped up. Her fingers bent to form a strange pattern, following which she tapped out with one finger. The dozen or so androids were all shattered at the middle of their figures. 

Zhu San cried, “Xi’er, you’re so impressive!” 

Qiong Xi’er’s fingers trembled. The attack that she had just unleashed was not simple, and it had already surpassed her ordinary limits. The defenses of the androids were quite sturdy. 

In the Endless Lavazone, arrows darkened the sky as they shot across the battlefield. 

The reinforcements from the Neo-Vestige Sect had finally arrived, and Master Bei rose to the sky to cooperate with the region’s commander, Fu Laotai, and hold back the Sixth Mainland’s powerhouses. 

An expert with a power level of more than 400,000 appeared in the Tri-Platform Lavazone. Once he revealed Ancestor Mojiang’s image as his imprint, he dominated the battlefield with his endless strength. 

The commander, Commander Baldy, was severely injured by the assault, and Yu Mu gritted his teeth and leaped into outer space to battle against the enemy’s powerhouses. Blood stained the sky. 

Villa Mistress Lian had also arrived, and she teamed up with Yu Mu to barely stave off the powerhouse in their region. 

In the Honor Lavazone, Zi Rong led the reinforcements from Amethyst Exchange as they had also arrived on the battlefield. His Battalion Slash instantly killed dozens of Sixth Mainland cultivators, but Zi Rong was quickly tangled up by the more powerful enemies in the area. His opponent was similarly a Hunter, but they had Ancestor Mojiang as their imprint, which allowed them to suppress Zi Rong. He became incomparably sullen, as his opponent was actually able to directly receive his Battalion Slash. 

Nearby, Zi Xue was looking around with a detached expression even as she fought against a strange-looking android from the Technocracy. 

Not only could the androids have a humanoid appearance, but they could also mimic all sorts of other living creatures. The most annoying models were the miniature androids, as it was difficult to accurately sense their location. There were even times when they would fly into the ear of a cultivator and blow apart the person’s head with a single attack. 

A terrifying strength descended from outer space, which everyone hurried to evade. 

Zi Xue was not able to do so in time, and Zi Rong hurriedly tried to rescue her. Fortunately, a middle-aged man blocked the attack, which gave Zi Rong an opportunity to escape with Zi Xue. 

“Thank you, Mr. Tradeo,” Zi Rong offered his gratitude. 

This middle-aged man was known as Mr. Tradeo, who was the Enlighter whom Amethyst Exchange supported. 

“Be careful. Nobody is safe on this battlefield,” Mr. Tradeo reminded them before vanishing. 

In the Ironblood Lavazone, fresh blood flowed from Chao Zhi’s forehead, and there was a Sixth Mainland cultivator in front of her. It was another girl who was in a similarly dishevelled state. 

The girl was also an Explorer, and she had a similar power level as Chao Zhi’s. “I never thought that I would be held back by a Fifth Mainland native. How humiliating!” 

Chao Zhi’s eyes turned cold. She similarly had never thought that she would be forced into such a miserable state by a random cultivator from the Sixth Mainland. After all, Chao Zhi was an absolute elite from Astral-9 as well as someone who had participated in the most recent Astral Combat Tournament and reached the top thirty two. She was an outstanding member of the younger generation who had once shocked the universe, and her opponent was clearly not her match. However, there was a strange feeling of suppression whenever they exchanged blows. Also, the imprint that all the cultivators from the Sixth Mainland had boosted their strength by too much, and it was the main obstacle to Chao Zhi’s victory. 

“Native, go and die!” the girl from the Sixth Mainland barked. As she spoke, the imprint behind her suddenly grew a bit clearer, and Chao Zhi could also see that the blood vessels in the girl’s body had undergone certain changes as she charged towards Chao Zhi. 

Chao Zhi took a deep breath, and four lined battle force shrouded her figure. “Wind of Seasons.”

In the distance, Liu Yin, who was still wearing his headphones, was dealing with his own bitter struggle. He had not yet recuperated from the injuries the previous assault had wrought on him, and he was truly facing a crisis of life and death right now. The woman in front of him was terrifyingly powerful. She easily dissolved every one of his attacks, and she had even comprehended a domain. 

“You’re frightened,” Yan Xiaojing said as she gazed coldly at the man before her who was wearing headphones. Her attacks did not let up, but her attention streaked past him when she saw the flow of the blood in the man’s body, and she swatted out. “Triple Palm.” 

Liu Yin growled when that palm attack struck him squarely in his abdomen, sending him flying away. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body began to tear apart. 

Damn, he really was going to die this time around. 

Yan Xiaojing showed no mercy, and she immediately sent out another palm strike, this time aimed at Liu Yin’s head. 

At that critical moment, a pale-looking man appeared and deflected Yan Xiaojing’s palm, saving Liu Yin. 

Liu Yin hurriedly retreated as he clutched his abdomen. Fresh blood had already stained his clothes. 

“Thank you, Brother Rann,” Liu Yin said feebly.

The person who saved him was Rann, the person who had participated in the same Astral Combat Tournament as the former student leader of Astral-9. He was a man who had been cryopreserved for 200 years, and he looked like a dead person. During the tournament, he had revealed his three lined battle force, but it had since been upgraded to four lines. 

Yan Xiaojing spoke in a cold voice, “It doesn’t matter if there’s two of you.”

She then attacked again. 

Liu Yin joined forces with Rann, and although they were able to endure Yan Xiaojing’s attacks with their teamwork, they would not be able to persist for long. 

Fortunately, Chao Zhi had taken care of her opponent by this time. She had suppressed her injuries enough to cause her opponent’s body to decay with her Wind of Seasons. That gave her the opening to launch a sneak attack against Yan Xiaojing. 

Huang San was pissed, as he had been watching this take place all along. He did not care if Liu Yin and Rann cooperated, as the two clearly were not Xiaojing’s opponents. However, three cultivators uniting against Yan Xiaojing was a little overboard, and it was something that he could not tolerate. He charged over to where the four people were fighting. “You bastards dare to bully Xiaojing!” 

Yan Xiaojing frowned as she glanced at Huang San. “This is none of your business, so go away!” 

Huang San was about to respond, but a man descended from above them and proudly waved a hand, sending Liu Yin, Rann, and Chao Zhi all flying away. He then lifted his hand. “Skyrender Claw.” 

At that moment, Liu Yin and the others were overwhelmed. This new person was unstoppable.

He was Autumnfrost Qing.

When he attacked, it heralded the end.

The Skyrender Claw landed and enveloped Liu Yin and the others.

Huang San felt pity for them, as they were absolutely doomed. 

Autumnfrost Qing had suppressed three enemies with a single claw, and he did not even glance at the outcome. They were just three ants that did not deserve his attention. 

Liu Yin’s trio watched as the Skyrender Claw drew closer and closer; they had already given up all hope. 

There was a thump, and a figure streaked past and shattered the Skyrender Claw with a kick, blocking it right when it was about to reach Liu Yin’s trio. 

They stared at the figure, dumbfounded. This was such a familiar silhouette. 

Just as Autumnfrost Qing was about to talk to Yan Xiaojing, his Skyrender Claw was shattered, and he immediately turned around to exchange glances with the person who just arrived. “Another one who’s come to bite the dust.” 

Yan Xiaojing and Huang San stared at the newcomer who had shattered the Skyrender Claw with just one kick in disbelief. Why was he here? 

“Long time no see, you guys,” Lu Yin spoke softly as he looked at Huang San. 

Huang San was stumped, and only after Lu Yin had spoken was the fatty able to react. “Deafmute Bro… Are you Deafmute Bro?” 

Yan Xiaojing stared at Lu Yin as though she were looking at a ghost. She remembered this person, as he had saved her in the past, and he had always kept the fatty company. They had believed that he was deaf and mute, but he had actually appeared on the battlefield at this moment and saved these natives. “Are you from the Fifth Mainland?” 

Lu Yin glanced at her and then looked at Autumnfrost Qing. “The Autumnfrost family is participating in this invasion, just as expected.” 

“Bro, are you really from the Fifth Mainland?” Huang San asked, as he was at a complete loss for words. He was thrilled that he was able to meet Deafmute Bro once again, but he actually did not want to hear the answer to his own question despite the answer being so blatantly obvious.
