Chapter 579 - 579 271 Breaking the Balance The Terrifying
Chapter 579: Chapter 271: Breaking the Balance, The Terrifying Military Leader Chapter 579: Chapter 271: Breaking the Balance, The Terrifying Military Leader The current phase was for recuperation, presenting somewhat of a respite for a while.
Lu Yi pondered for a moment and then directly began to comprehend various enhancements from his task rewards.
Lu Yi planned to rapidly grasp the newly acquired “Xuanyin Yuanyang Immortal Scripture” to its extreme level.
Having just acquired this cultivation technique and not having practiced the chapters before the “Tribulation Crossing Chapter,” Lu Yi already had a wealth of understanding of other immortal scriptures. Coupled with his own immensely strong foundation and natural high comprehension of the Tao, he was able, after just one reading, to thoroughly master the esoteric principles of the cultivation technique up to the chapters preceding “Unification.”
Afterward, it took him several days to completely master the “Unification Chapter” and the “Great Mahayana Chapter” of the cultivation technique.
Then, Lu Yi began to use the specific reward of +4 to the cultivation technique level and spent a few days to comprehend the “Tribulation Crossing Chapter” to level 5.
He used the reward of +3 to the cultivation technique level once more. This time it took longer because as the level of the technique increased, it still required time despite the task rewards. It took him around half a month.
And thus, Lu Yi’s cultivation technique level was elevated to level 8.
Lu Yi used another +3 to the cultivation technique level, taking over a month, to raise the cultivation technique to the extreme level.
Although there was some surplus in this enhancement, once it had reached the extreme level, it could no longer be improved further.
Lu Yi felt a bit of a pinch, but there was no helping it; this was the way to rapidly advance.
Moreover, the battlefield had not yet concluded, and Lu Yi still had the chance to obtain more task rewards, so he didn’t mind the waste.
Just as Lu Yi was planning to continue comprehending other immortal scriptures, Liu Haiqing sent out a notice that after more than two months of recuperation, both companies of the Star Realm Army had their injuries treated and had regained their combat strength.
Lu Yi and Liu Ningshuang, along with four others, left their residence and looked out the window, only to realize that the Rashamon Clan’s ships that had filled the sky above Planet No.6 were now nowhere to be seen. Sadly, the hollowed-out planet could not be restored.
Beneath the planetary crust, lava erupted, and cracks were everywhere, resembling a shattered glass bead.
“This planet’s lifeforce probably has only tens of thousands of years left, at best. Its core has been excavated, and it won’t be long before it explodes,” Ba Mu’s voice came from behind Lu Yi.
Lu Yi turned around to look and noticed that Ba Mu and the others had also come.
They each had ruddy complexions, clearly having thrived during this time.
They all greeted Lu Yi with cheerful smiles, and he responded to each in kind.
The group quickly arrived in the central hall of the main ship.
Liu Haiqing and several Star Realm Army members were already there, and Liu Haiqing began his briefing, speaking about the recent state of the war.
Since the Rashamon Clan’s arrival in the Tianming Star System, it had been over a decade.
The current situation was extremely tense. Although thanks to Lu Yi’s mastery of Space Law and the possession of a high-grade space immortal artifact, the Tenth and Twelfth Companies had won their battles, Space Law was exceedingly rare, not to mention mastering it to the extent Lu Yi had. Such people were typically geniuses of the entire Tianluo Star Domain and would not appear on battlefields such as this.
The other war zones lacked such advantages, and facing the more powerful Rashamon Clan armies, they had been retreating. The Second, Ninth, and Twenty-Third Companies had even been destroyed.
Aside from Tianming and Planets No.4 and No.6, most other planets in the Tianming Star System had fallen under the control of the Rashamon Clan.
The cultivators of the Star Realm Army were powerless to resist such a formidable army.
Upon hearing the battle reports, everyone’s expressions grew grave, falling into silence.
Whether it was on Planet No.4 or No.6, they had the upper hand, and they had almost forgotten the greater strength of the Rashamon Clan’s forces.
It was only after hearing Liu Haiqing’s account that they realized the situation was far less optimistic than they had imagined.
“The military leader’s intention is for us to act as a guerrilla force to aid other brother companies. Our goal is to destroy their main ships with swift, decisive strikes, depriving them of sufficient mobility and disrupting their supply lines. Only then can we divide the battlefield,” Liu Haiqing said.
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback and all eyes turned to Lu Yi.
At this point, who wasn’t aware of Lu Yi’s unreasonably powerful Space Law and his profoundly adept skills in Array Tao, enabling him to even traverse through terrifying great arrays set by Profound Immortal Level powers?
It was simply outrageous.
After all, Lu Yi was just a Tribulation Crossing Practitioner.
Had they not seen it with their own eyes, none of them would believe such a thing.
Lu Yi clearly understood the situation as well, his eyes lighting up with anticipation.
Whether it was the Rashamon Clan or the Star Realm Army, there was only one way for fleets to rapidly provide reinforcements—space transmission.
Both the Rashamon Clan and the Star Realm Army’s main ships were equipped with powerful space teleportation arrays, capable of piercing through space to form a vast void, allowing entire fleets to pass through.
If the space teleportation arrays of the main ships were destroyed, things would get interesting.
With the size of their fleets, without such vast voids to traverse, their mobility would be greatly restricted.
As for individuals carrying teleportation arrays, transmitting within a planet might be easy enough to set up an array platform, but for distances between planets or further, a serious arrangement of a space teleportation array platform would be needed.
This would not be a quick endeavor, and with such movement, wouldn’t the Star Realm Army, not being fools, intervene?
This way, the Star Realm Army could turn the tables from a position of reaction to action.
What a brilliant idea!
Lu Yi felt a surge of excitement within. Even if he didn’t defeat Rashamon Clan cultivators, merely destroying the main ships’ arrays would grant him a substantial reward.
And there were no shortage of Rashamon Clan Main Ships here, a total of two grand army corps, which would split up to have at least twenty main ships, and possibly as many as forty to fifty!
How immense would the rewards be?
Lu Yi thought to himself with delight.
“Young Master Lu Yi, this is the Military Leader’s idea, the Second Lady asks about your sword intent. If you are unwilling, we can hold out until reinforcements arrive, which are already on their way now,” Liu Haiqing continued to speak.
The others, upon hearing this, all looked at Lu Yi with strange expressions on their faces.
One by one, they were extremely envious. Truly worthy of being the Second Lady of the Yu Family’s direct disciple.
Such a great opportunity, whether to take it or leave it…
Even sacrificing some of the planets’ resources for it was considered worthwhile.
Who wouldn’t envy having such a master?
Lu Yi felt warmth in his heart, although his Master usually had a bit of a temper, was somewhat lazy, and had a hearty appetite, she was always rather good to him.
Lu Yi knew that if he really began to act in such a manner, the Rashamon Clan would likely mark him as their top target to kill.
After all, he was the only one on the battlefield capable of this feat; it was too disrupting to the balance.
Even the Rashamon Clan’s army corps commanders might personally take action against him.
Lu Yi hadn’t forgotten that time on Planet No.4, when he went out fishing and hooked the commander of a Blood Prison Army company.
After thinking it over, Lu Yi said, “I could do it, but I would need an elite team if we were to proceed in this manner.”
“Of course, that’s no problem!” Liu Haiqing’s eyes lit up with surprise and joy, “Young Master Lu Yi is willing to risk his life to defeat the Rashamon Clan’s great army; naturally, the rest of us will follow by your side!”
Lu Yi said earnestly, “Commander Liu is too flattering. I’m just doing what I should. The Rashamon Clan’s great army is invading my homeland; it’s natural for me to stand up.”
Of course, having a task reward would be icing on the cake after stepping forward.
The Star Realm Army’s strong looked at Lu Yi with eyes full of agreement.
As members of the Star Realm Army, their duty was to protect the Sky Falling Star Domain from attacks by other Star Domains, and they deeply agreed with Lu Yi’s statement.
“Since that’s the case, let’s first return to the War Fortress to make further plans,” Liu Haiqing suggested.
Lu Yi nodded, naturally having no objections.
Afterward, Liu Haiqing informed Ke Mingluo of Lu Yi’s thoughts, and the Tenth Company along with the Twelfth Company passed through the void and headed for the War Fortress.
In front of the planet-sized War Fortress, a void opened up, and two fleets flew out, entering the War Fortress.
The fleets stopped inside the fortress’s vast plaza.
As soon as Lu Yi stepped out, he saw the Ling Luo Peak Master. Next to the Peak Master was a tall, white-haired elder with a square face, clad in a black and red war armor.
The elder’s aura was profound and terrifying. Merely standing there, he was like a black hole, exuding a most formidable pressure that dimmed the light around him significantly.
Great Power Level cultivators who stood by his side couldn’t help trembling slightly, an involuntary reaction much like that of a lesser creature in the presence of a natural predator.
Even Heavenly Immortals, upon seeing the elder, turned pale, felt heavy in the chest, and weak all over.
Too strong.
Lu Yi was profoundly shocked; this person must be beyond the level of a Profound Immortal, right?
As expected of the commander of a grand army corps of the Star Realm Army. Too powerful.
When the Ling Luo Peak Master saw Lu Yi and Liu Ningshuang coming down, her eyes brightened, and she flew over.
“You rascal, you’ve done quite well, haven’t you? To have achieved so many merits, breaking through two Blood Prison Army companies?” the Ling Luo Peak Master said jovially, pinching Lu Yi’s face and speaking surprisingly.
In fact, the Ling Luo Peak Master initially thought that Lu Yi and the others were merely out for some training and had no idea that Lu Yi could be so fierce. Using his powerful Space Law and Array Tao Law, he had actually destroyed two Blood Prison Army companies!
Even with the intense battles between the Sky Falling Star Domain and the Rashamon Star Domain, the loss of two Blood Prison Army companies would require a fiercely intense battle to occur.
Seeing the Peak Master pinching his face, Lu Yi, his head full of black lines, silently swatted her hand away, “Master, maintain your image in public, please.”
Damn it, didn’t he have a reputation to uphold?
Glancing around, the Ling Luo Peak Master noticed that Liu Haiqing and others were diverting their gazes, looking down, silent, acting as if they saw nothing.
Lu Yi: “???”
Seeing how timid these people were… they weren’t this cowardly facing the Rashamon Clan, were they?
Lu Yi heartily despised them inwardly.
Then, the Star Realm Army’s Military Leader, with hands behind his back, appeared beside the Ling Luo Peak Master before anyone noticed.
He assessed Lu Yi, smiled with satisfaction, and nodded, “Lu Yi, is it? Ling Luo has found a good disciple, very good, indeed.”
