Miss Qing was speechless, as Huang San had seemingly intentionally chosen the Skygobbling Pig bloodline, but that was actually the smartest move. A rubbish bloodline would now be directly upgraded into an unrivaled bloodline. However, there were really too few bloodlines that were powerful, and none of them could be truly called invincible. Nonetheless, there would still be an incredible increase in power.
“Seventh Bro, this stupid fatty’s luck is too impressive! You guys didn’t get anything, but he did!” the Ghost Monkey shrieked.
Lu Yin looked at Huang San, as this would lead to his comeback. He listened to Mr. Bai’s words, and even if the fatty’s bloodline did not become truly unrivaled, it would definitely not be weak—it might even become powerful enough to compare to Autumnfrost Qing’s. The fatty’s life full of misery was about to come to an end.
It didn’t take too long for the red color to dissipate from the fatty’s body and his eyes to open up wide. He looked down at his hands and opened his mouth, but what came out was a pig’s squeal. The fatty hurriedly covered his mouth before testing out his voice more softly. After a moment, he relaxed. He had been afraid that he would be doomed to only be able to make pig noises for the rest of his life. It would be better to die than live like that.
“Thank you, all three of you, for helping me succeed.” Huang San bowed in gratitude towards his three companions.
Mr. Bai raised him back up and smiled. “Meeting us was a matter of fate. Since Fatty Bro has received this fortunate encounter, then nobody can stop it. Congratulations, Fatty Bro, on successfully obtaining the unrivalled bloodline of the Skygobbling Pig. One day in the future, you may gain the opportunity to fight for one of the Realmling positions.”
Miss Qing curiously measured Fatty up and down, as he was just a humanoid pig in her eyes. Speaking of which, since ancient times, not many cultivators had integrated with a pig’s bloodline below, so what had this fatty been thinking?
The fatty grimaced when he heard Mr. Bai’s words. “I can’t even dream of the Realmling’s position. The three bloodlines left behind in the Blood Progenitor’s sculpture are all unmatched, and this small trace of the Skygobbling Pig bloodline can’t compete with them.”
Mr. Bai smiled, but he did not speak further. “This place has been destroyed, so let us move out and continue to explore the city. We may still be able to find something else good.”
No one objected, and they all followed Mr. Bai to explore more of the city.
The ancient architectural style of this place’s buildings was completely different from the contemporary style that they were all familiar with.
“Seventh Bro, have you realized that some of these buildings have similar features to the buildings that were in the centipede’s body?!” the monkey commented.
Lu Yin had indeed noticed it, as the styles certainly seemed similar.

Not long after Lu Yin and the others left the area where they had opened the sourcebox, a few other people approached the burned building.
“We’re a bit late,” an elegant-looking man said. “Check around. There’ll be new discoveries after a certain amount of time.”
“Why don’t we just go ahead and destroy everything? We might get lucky and find something in the rubble,” a gentle-looking man suggested.
The elegant-looking man replied, “Shut up! The rules are ironclad and forbid us from intentionally destroying the Daosource Sect’s buildings. This place is a treasure given to our Sixth Mainland by the Fifth Mainland, and it isn’t meant to benefit just one generation. Whether or not we can obtain anything depends solely on our luck.”
“Hmph, that’s the rule from an old age. The war between the mainlands is about to start up again. Countless experts have already been transferred away to the frontlines, and it seems that the higher-ups want to completely destroy the survivors of the Fifth Mainland. With that trash’s strength, they don’t be able to do anything besides wait for their death. Don’t you guys want to get ahead and get some achievements first? Or maybe even plunder the resources from the Fifth Mainland?” the gentle-looking man retorted.
The others fell silent, but there was excitement clearly flickering in their eyes.
He continued, saying, “Our mainland has waited countless years for this war, and it just so happens that it’s breaking out in our generation! We normally restrain ourselves, but there’s no need for anything like that against the Fifth Mainland! We can act however we want! Star essence, cultivation arts, battle techniques, or even beauties—we can grab anything. Regardless of what you guys think, I’m going to do my best to improve my strength before the rest arrive. Then, I’ll join The Hunt. I’m going to strive to make some achievements and become famous.”
“That’s right. The times have changed. The war between the mainlands will create countless heroes, and we will be the Sixth Mainland’s heroes. We can’t act the same as before and just blindly abide by the rules.”
“The Hunt won’t just be a game for the Realmlings and the Daosource Three Skies. We have to join, too, and hunt those so-called elite geniuses from the Fifth Mainland.”
“That’s right!”
…
The elegant man’s eyes flickered.
The gentle-looking man smiled sinisterly, and his eyes widened as a formless ripple spread out from him. It formed a substance that looked like mercury, and it glittered with a silver radiance as it flowed out and crushed the nearby buildings.
The elegant man’s brows rose high, but he did nothing to stop his companion.
The others quickly followed suit and began to destroy the surrounding buildings to improve their chances of discovering some hidden fortune.
From a distance, Lu Yin and the others turned around, and Mr. Bai’s face fell. “Someone’s not following the rules.”
“Such reckless and unrestrained destruction of these structures might cause some hidden spaces to appear, but it will also cause the entire city to be wiped out,” Miss Qing said coldly.
“It looks like we need to become law enforcers for the moment,” Mr. Bai said as he leaped forward.
Miss Qing glanced at Lu Yin before dashing over in a similar manner.
The fatty continued using his strange sign language with Lu Yin, which just prompted Lu Yin to roll his eyes. What a mess! Who can understand such lousy gestures? He then grabbed the fatty and chased after the other two.
A loud noise soon roared out, marking the start of a new battle. When Lu Yin arrived, there were already two people lying on the ground, proving that Mr. Bai and Miss Qing had taken action.
The two had faced off against four opponents, but they had defeated two of them seamlessly.
Lu Yin silently looked on. Of the four, there was an elegant-looking man who was clearly stronger than the two on the ground. He had a fuzzy imprint behind his back, which allowed his strength to rise until he could rival Wendy Yushan. In addition, there was another reserved-looking man who had a very solid domain with a silver color.
Back at the Astral Combat Academy, one of the mentors had mentioned that after someone comprehended a domain, it could change colors based on the individual’s innate gifts, battle techniques, and cultivation arts. Thus, a domain was not necessarily colorless. But most people who had comprehended a domain would force it to remain colorless so that no accidents would occur during their battles. Only a few allowed their domains to exhibit a unique color.
The silver domain suddenly vanished before a silver radiance shone from the sky that pressed downwards.
Lu Yin’s brows furrowed; this was a forcefield. That gentle-looking man had actually comprehended a forcefield.
The man fighting with Miss Qing quickly evaded the forcefield, and the gentle-looking man sneered as his forcefield shot towards Miss Qing.
Miss Qing’s expression did not change, and she did not even activate her imprint.
Suddenly, a solid domain shot across the sky and sliced the silver forcefield apart. Lu Yin had finally taken action, as he could not just watch from the sidelines.
The gentle-looking man’s eyes narrowed as he turned to stare at Lu Yin.
Miss Qing smiled at him and then attacked the other person.
Lu Yin waved a hand, and his domain swept up towards the sky, causing the silver-colored forcefield to explode.
The gentle-looking man was overwhelmed, as this person’s domain was incredibly powerful.
Lu Yin still did not know why his domain had become so powerful, but it had become so condensed that it could cause others’ forcefields to collapse. It was somehow becoming more and more powerful, but this was a good thing for Lu Yin.
He pressed his hand down, causing his domain to descend from the sky, seemingly with the power of the heavens themselves, and crush the gentle-looking man to the ground. The man bellowed, and a fuzzy phantom image manifested behind him as the silver radiance around his body intensified as he tried to withstand Lu Yin’s domain.
Lu Yin’s gaze trembled, and the power of his domain grew even stronger. Even with the reinforcement of his imprint, the gentle-looking man was not able to break through Lu Yin’s domain. He spat out a mouthful of blood and then passed out.
