Chapter 525: The Power Of The Secret Technique

Lei Long commented in a deep voice, “The star essence skin that we made for him was quite impressive. It required even more resources than the one

Kayze received. He should at least rival the top thirty in the Top 100 Rankings.”

Scholar Newmoon added on, “Not just that, but his technique is not ordinary. His power level may rival the top thirty, but if his opponent is unprepared and he manages to take the initiative, then even that Nightking expert would not be his opponent.”

Lei Long and Huo Houye were astonished. “What exactly is his technique?”

“The Dream Sutra,” Scholar Newmoon calmly replied.

Huo Houye and Lei Long were lost, as they had not heard of such a technique before.

Scholar Newmoon did not explain any further, and he merely continued to stare at the screen. He had only seen this technique being mentioned in ancient writings, and even he was not very clear on the details of the technique, but if it was truly that ancient technique, then

Sleeping Prince’s power definitely was not as simple as it seemed to be. Even if it wasn’t, since that person’s true power could rival the top thirty, then why did he always occupy the hundredth position? Was it truly as was rumored? Did he really like the number hundred that much?

On Planet Pyrolyte, Long Yun saw that Nightking Gu had left, and he took his leave as well since he couldn’t even beat Wendy Yushan by himself.

Lu Yin stored his gun away and released an exhausted sigh. The most difficult hurdle had just been overcome, and it would take the organizations at least half a month to manufacture another star essence skin. By that time, the pyrolyte ore beneath the mountain range would be almost completely depleted.

As he looked towards the south, Lu Yin was still afraid that Mira might try to seize this opportunity to act, but it seemed that she had restrained herself.

He also stored his universal armor away and began returning to the mountain range. Suddenly, he felt tired and beaten. Was this exhaustion? His eyelids drooped, and his body swayed. He almost fell asleep when he suddenly felt that something was amiss, and his scalp tingled. He then saw a huge number of rune lines converging to his left.

He turned around and saw

Sleeping Prince. At this time,

Sleeping Prince’s eyes had finally opened, and he was lazily looking at Lu Yin. There was a smile in his eyes, but an invisible attack with an indescribable killing intent moved through the void and enveloped Lu Yin. This strange killing intent was very similar to what Lu Yin felt during his lockbreaking attempts, and though Lu Yin wanted to use Secret Sidestep technique to avoid this attack, he was too sleepy. His body could not respond as his mind wished. It was difficult for him to even move slightly, and he really wanted to do nothing more than sleep.

It seemed like the sky had gone dark, and even though Lu Yin could not see where the danger was coming from, he could see a countless number of rune lines approaching him, and the danger that he felt from them was more than enough to destroy him. This was

Sleeping Prince’s attack.

At this moment, no one was able to save Lu Yin because nobody knew that he would be attacked out of the blue. Lu Yin did not have the strength to resist this attack, and he didn’t even have a chance to don his universal armor.

Countless rune lines approached him. Lu Yin had given up just as they were about to descend upon him, but at that moment, he heard Wendy Yushan’s voice. “Yu Secret Art: Void Transfer.”

Off in the distance, the ground was covered by an invisible attack that did not seem destructive, but all of the creatures underground had instantly died.

Still in his same position, Lu Yin had not been harmed at all.

Sleeping Prince’s expression changed abruptly, and he turned to the west to see Wendy Yushan staring at him with cold eyes. He thought that he had heard an outstanding attack. Yu Secret Art? Void Transfer? Is that a secret technique?

Not only was

Sleeping Prince startled, but in the emptiness of space above the planet, Elder Ren was also shocked as he stared at Wendy Yushan. “That’s a secret technique! That little girl just used a secret technique.”

Hai Dashao was astonished. “Secret technique? Why would she have one?”

Nightqueen Qiuyu was blown away yet again; she had been stunned too many times this day. However, even all of the previous shocks combined did not add up to what she was currently feeling after personally seeing

Sleeping Prince’s attack be transferred to another place. Only a secret technique could achieve such a feat, and this girl had actually comprehended one.

Elder

Viletree, Wen Qichen, Lei Long, Scholar Newmoon, Huo Houye, and the other Enlighters all appeared outside of their spacecraft one after another as they solemnly stared at Wendy Yushan. A secret technique was much more precious than Fatesand, to the point where it was not even on the same level. Fatesand could be obtained through destined opportunities while a secret technique was different.

Each and every secret technique had been created by a Progenitor, so they were all passed down almost singly through a given bloodline. Even so, the majority of them would disappear since these secret techniques were too difficult to cultivate. Even within the Innerverse’s various great powers, only a select few possessed secret techniques, and there was even a possibility that there were no secret techniques at all. After all, not one of the great powers had ever revealed such a thing before. But now, they had all just seen an Outerverse girl wield a secret technique. She was somehow linked to a Progenitor.

Each Enlighter’s expression changed, as the appearance of a secret technique made even the pyrolyte pale in comparison. Each of them was contemplating how they could get their hands on this girl.

The Myriad Swords Peak had also sent people to Planet Pyrolyte, but they hadn’t sent any Enlighters. At this moment, the top expert from Myriad Swords Peak was actually heading towards the Northcastle Weave in order to use the network to contact the sect. It had just been revealed that their female senior disciple actually possessed a secret technique. This news was too startling, and their sect’s super powerhouse had to be brought over.

However, the Myriad Swords Peak expert couldn’t even leave the Astral Wilderness before they were obstructed. The various great powers would not let Wendy Yushan off, so they naturally could not allow the Myriad Swords Peak to intervene.

On Planet Pyrolyte, Lu Yin’s heart sank. He was thrilled that he hadn’t died, but he was also regretful that the secret technique had been revealed.

Sleeping Prince stared at Wendy Yushan. “Was that a secret technique?”

Wendy Yushan raised her sword and did not bother speaking nonsense. She sliced her sword at

Sleeping Prince, but he only needed to casually wave his hand and cause a formless air wave to surge over. However, that was not enough to block the sword qi, and his arm still ended up being cut. Across from him, the blast of air streaked past Wendy Yushan, and just by passing by her, it caused her to sway and almost fell asleep, as the strength that it carried was too peculiar.

Sleeping Prince looked at the wound on his arm. He had a serene expression even as he stood there, injured. His body released a strange strength that was able to cause others to fall asleep.

Lu Yin looked at the Explorer. Although he could not sense the man’s strength, he could see that his rune lines were increasing in number. He could not stop himself from blurting out, “Stop him!”

Wendy Yushan suddenly appeared in front of

Sleeping Prince as her left hand flitted by him. “Yu Secret Art: Void Transfer.”

As her left hand moved, she stabbed out with her blade. The strength that

Sleeping Prince had unleashed was redirected elsewhere as he was stabbed by Wendy Yushan’s blade in the shoulder, fresh blood dripping down the blade.

Sleeping Prince’s face went pale, and he looked closely at Wendy Yushan. “A secret technique lives up to its reputation, and it can divert even my strength. I admit defeat, but unfortunately, you’ve just become everyone’s target.”

Sleeping Prince pulled back and then leaped up to return to outer space.

Wendy Yushan lowered her blade while fresh blood dripped down off of it. Her sword had tasted the blood of quite a few experts this day.

After

Sleeping Prince left, Lu Yin regained his energy, and he walked over to Wendy Yushan.

She looked up. “The secret technique is very powerful, isn’t it?”

Lu Yin nodded. “It lives up to its name. With it, you can even challenge the top fifteen experts.”

She put her sword away. “Yes, that’s why such techniques are invaluable. Lu Yin, do you think that we can safely escape?”

Lu Yin knew what she meant, as she had become the main focus of all the gathered organizations after revealing the secret technique.

“We’ll try,” Lu Yin responded seriously. By this point, many powerhouses were focused on them above the planet, and there were at least ten Enlighters here. Escape? They did not know if the Sea King’s forces would help them, but even if they did not, Lu Yin could invite Mister Mu.

“Do you regret it?” Lu Yin could not help himself form asking.

Wendy Yushan shook her head. “You’re my only kin. I don’t regret saving you.”

“Rest assured, I’ll do my best to get you out of here safely,” Lu Yin assured her.

Wendy Yushan looked at him and nodded, but she did not reply.

The various Enlighters above the planet exchanged glances, but they did not speak. However, they rapidly moved closer to Planet Pyrolyte, as they were thinking of methods to grab Wendy Yushan right then and there.

At this moment, Elder Ren appeared, and a terrifying shockwave representing his power level of several hundred thousands rippled out, making the other Enlighters feel frightened.

“Everyone, the Sea King’s Dome has promised to protect Frostwave Weave, and this girl belongs to that place as well. I hope that everyone will show some respect to the Sea King and not touch her,” Elder Ren said as his aged eyes swept across everyone gathered.

Nightqueen Qiuyu was the first to back off, and

Viletree, Wen Qichen, and the others consecutively retreated soon after. Before long, all of the Enlighters had moved back without anyone saying anything.

Hai Dashao’s heart sank upon seeing this scene. “They won’t give up, and they’ll definitely invite their sect’s powerhouses to come here.”

Elder Ren nodded. “That’s true, but it won’t be that easy.”

After the old man finished speaking, a layer of ripples spread out from beneath him. It spread out further and further until the entire region around Planet Pyrolyte had been sealed off.

He would not allow the various major forces’ powerhouses to leave, at least not for the time being.

The Enlighters did not show themselves, as there was no point in saying anything at this time. They were currently racking their brains for a way to leave and report to their respective powers, as Wendy Yushan’s value now surpassed the value of all of the pyrolyte ore on the planet. Elder Ren could stop them for now, but he would no longer be able to once the pyrolyte ore had been completely harvested. At that time, he would no longer be able to obstruct them. As for whether or not they could get a hold of Wendy Yushan, that all depended on the baseline strength of the various powers.

Wendy Yushan had displayed a secret technique, and Lu Yin had shown that he had the strength to severely injure Nightking Gu as well as repel Long Yun. When the two youths worked together, as long as Avery was held back by Hai Dashao, the curtains would close on the contest for pyrolyte ore on this planet. No one would be able to seize control of the mountain range from those two.

Many smaller powers had finished their activities on Planet Pyrolyte a long time ago. They wanted to leave, but all of them were restrained by Elder Ren.

After a full month went by, the last of the pyrolyte ore beneath the mountain range was finally mined out, and the leaders of the various organizations relaxed and looked at Elder Ren.

Elder Ren had already told them in no uncertain terms that all of them would have to wait for Northline Flowzone to finish mining the pyrolyte ore, and that only then would he remove the seal around Planet Pyrolyte. At that moment, Lu Yin, Wendy Yushan, and Hai Qiqi would be the first to leave.

This was all being done to protect Lu Yin and the others. It would prevent them from being ambushed by a powerhouse along their journey, but it would only work for a short while.

Lu Yin’s face turned solemn when he looked at his cosmic ring. He surveyed the region, but he knew that not even the Sea King himself would be able to protect Wendy Yushan. Lu Yin could only invite Mister Mu to help. Though he couldn’t do that here; it would have to wait until they were back on Zenyu Star. That would allow Mister Mu to become a legend on Zenyu Star, which would make the other great powers a bit apprehensive.

The most important thing to do right now was to return to Zenyu Star.

After all of the pyrolyte ore was mined out, the star essence skins became useless. Also, the various powerhouses were finally able to make a move against Planet Pyrolyte. They eliminated the atmosphere of the planet and exposed the entire planet to the vacuum of space, completely changing the environment.

The collapse of Planet Pyrolyte then began.

Lu Yin retrieved his collapsible spacecraft, which just so happened to be able to hold three people.

Beneath him, the ground began to rupture. The Limiteers who had been fighting against each other on Planet Pyrolyte all either moved to return to their spacecraft or donned a universal armor. They were no longer protected by the atmosphere of Planet Pyrolyte, so their entire bodies were essentially about to be exposed to the emptiness of outer space.
