Chapter 2505: A Small Demonstration

"Are you able to see it?" Shi Hong moved next to Lu Yin. Everyone on the platform was staring at the battle, but none of them were able to make out the figures of Qiu Zhan or the Progenitor-level corpse king. The youths were simply turning their heads to look at wherever the stars shattered.

However, Lu Yin was different. He was not simply reacting. Shi Hong had observed Lu Yin for a while, and she had noticed that there were several occasions when he would turn and look in a specific direction, but he would do so before any damage occurred. Everyone else was only looking afterwards.

Clearly, this young man was seeing things more clearly than anyone else present.

Lu Yin replied, "I can't see their battle. After all, they’re at the peak of human power."

Shi Hong felt that his answer did not make much sense. "But you’re seeing things before the rest of us."

Lu Yin explained, "It’s instinct."

"Instinct?" Shi Hong was left puzzled.

Zuo Yu and the rest looked over.

Lu Yin explained, "People refer to cultivation as a type of civilization, but it’s actually all about competing for resources and doing everything possible to improve yourself. The entire process is rife with death, danger, and dealing with various schemes. If you’re not careful, you'll die. I've already seen battles on this same scale more than once before, so I’m able to instinctively detect changes quicker than you."

"Brother-in-law, you've seen battles like this before?" Luo Lao'er's voice was filled with awe as he pointed into outer space. "A war with monsters like those two?"

Lu Yin looked up, his expression growing melancholic. "Yes, I have. Actually, we’re incredibly lucky. If it weren't for this Bestowal Carrier protecting us, just the shockwaves from a battle between powerhouses like those two would have already wiped us all out."

The Transcendent Universe was aware that Lu Yin came from the Origin Universe, so there was no need for him to hide some of his experiences.

Lu Yin was portraying himself as a rather low-level cultivator, so everything that he shared was common knowledge to any cultivator with that level of strength. As for the name "Origin Universe" that was not something that an Enlighter would ever know about.

Even so, his words did not convince everyone who heard them.

Someone scoffed. "Do you even understand how strong those two are? That’s the peak of what humans are capable of reaching. Do you think it’s so easy to see that?"

Mu Duo added, "That's true. Our Transcendent Universe has studied many parallel universes, and most of them don't even have any creatures with power levels of over a million, let alone pinnacle experts. What is the name of your universe?"

"Brother-in-law, which universe do you come from? It has to be famous," Luo Lao'er asked curiously.

Lu Yin shrugged. "I don't know. My universe is just the universe. It’s all that we know. As for what it’s called, I have no idea."

"Didn't the Ruling Council tell you?" Shi Hong asked, feeling quite puzzled.

Lu Yin shook his head.

lightsΝοvel "Sister Hong, he's Zi Jing's man," Zuo Yu whispered.

Shi Hong was taken aback. "Zi Jing's man? Him?"

The way she looked at Lu Yin changed completely.

Fierce explosions continued to erupt in outer space. While numerous spatial cracks spread across the region, the surviving platforms on the Bestowal Carrier were sufficient to support the carrier’s energy converters, and that allowed the defenders to endure the shockwaves from the battle.

Initially, the crowd focused entirely on the battle between the two powerhouses, but as time passed, they realized that they were not able to make out anything other than the impressive explosions. So, they eventually lost interest.

Only Lu Yin continued watching.The Progenitor-level corpse king was similar to Qiu Zhan in that neither of them used any sort of battle techniques. The former relied solely on physical attacks, while the latter only used energy attacks. If the battle continued in such a manner, a victor might not emerge for months.

However, Lu Yin had underestimated Qiu Zhan.

From the very beginning, Qiu Zhan had possessed a black energy converter, but he had not used it until half of the carrier’s platforms were either destroyed or deactivated. This meant that he had his own plans, and he was finally carrying them out.

A massive beam of black light pierced through the starry sky. It looked like a passage that was connected to the dark depths of the universe.

This beam was several times larger than any of the attacks that had been used so far in the battle.

Everyone stared at it in a daze.

The black beam of light shook the stars. The carrier was not durable enough to withstand its power, and chunks of metal began to break off. The beam flashed past Qiu Zhan and collided with the corpse king with immense force.

This time, the corpse king was unable to block the beam, and its body was forced backwards towards distant stars.

Qiu Zhan instantly gave chase.

The region grew quiet as the massive black beam of light slowly diminished. Only after it was gone did the people watching realize that they had all gone deaf, and they only regained their hearing after the black beam of light had vanished entirely.
