Chapter 1075: A Battle Beyond Comprehension

Nightking Zhenwu grinned There was still some blood between his teeth, and he looked incredibly sinister. “Lu Yin, did you really believe that you had won? Or that you would definitely be victorious? You must have been the one who brought Leon’s Armada here. Hahaha! Did you really think that you could beat me, Nightking Zhenwu? Let me tell you now—it’s impossible! Let alone just you, there is nobody who can defeat me! I’m the leader of the Ten Arbiters, and I’ve received the mandate of heaven!”

He raised his hand and released another triple-fletched arrow. 

Anyone from the Innerverse who witnessed this felt frightened. Just exactly what was Nightking Zhenwu’s innate gift? How had he completely recovered? No one could endure Lu Yin’s attacks from before, but the Nightking had fully recovered in such a short period of time; just what sort of innate gift was this?

The leaders of the guiding powers were also overwhelmed. They had not paid too much attention to these Ten Arbiters juniors before, and the Wen family patriarch looked shocked. “This kid will definitely shock the Neoverse in the future, as very few in his generation can be his match.” 

Within the Sword Sect, Liu Qianjue sighed. “What a terrifying and unknown innate gift. On top of that, he was even able to comprehend Skybreaker, and he seems to have had a destined encounter that allowed him to obtain an unrivaled arrow technique. This kid had indeed received the mandate of the heavens. It would be far, far too difficult to defeat such a person.” 

Even the previous sect leader of the Sword Sect had said that defeating Nightking Zhenwu would be incredibly difficult, and these words aligned perfectly with Lu Yin’s current thoughts.

He had never expected that Nightking Zhenwu’s innate gift would be so terrifying, and Lu Yin even suspected that it might be something similar to his die’s four pips: Timestop. If Zhenwu could stop time, then he would have all the time in the world to recover. 

Even more terrifying was the fact that despite having such a powerful innate gift and a battle technique like the triple-fletched arrow, Zhenwu had still readily resorted to poisoning as a means of dealing with Lu Yin, which showed that the Nightking was extremely meticulous. Someone who let their arrogance belie their true cautious nature was the most fearsome kind of opponent to face. 

Against the triple-fletched arrows, the only way Lu Yin could defend was by using Truesight to weaken the attacks, and then following it up with Vacuum Palm and the Yu Secret Art.

Nightking Zhenwu had no other means of dealing with Lu Yin, so he could only incessantly fire off more triple-fletched arrows. 

The two exchanged blows like this for a long time, and Nightking Planet had long since been reduced to a miserable state, as the ground had rent asunder underneath the planet’s constant quivering. The First Nightking’s statue had disappeared long ago, and Evernight City had been mostly destroyed as well. Everbright City had also shattered apart, and even the Night Watch Pagoda had crumbled away. 

Ling Que and all of the other guests cursed their misfortune as they hid themselves in space.

However, not even outer space was safe. Even if Nightking Dijiang had led Highsage Leon to an unknown place for their battle, aftershocks from the other various fights surrounding the planet still occasionally swept through the area near the planet. 

Every place next Nightking Planet was essentially going through an apocalypse right now.

Nightking Planet was not just suffering from the intense battle between Lu Yin and Nightking Zhenwu; the battles between the members of the Nightking clan’s older generation and the Enlighters from Leon’s Armada’s subordinate forces were also causing massive damage to the planet. 

Something like this had never happened throughout the entire history of the Daynight clan before. Even when the Sixth Mainland had invaded, the invading forces had never found Nightking Planet, and they had even given up on finding it. But on this day, Lu Yin was destroying the planet.

Lava spewed out from underground and burned the sky.

Lu Yin panted heavily as he exchanged glances with Nightking Zhenwu. Off in the distance, the Dayking and Nightking bloodlines were busy slaughtering each other, and Zhuo Daynight alone was holding back a dozen Daynight clan cultivators, including even Nightqueen Yanqing. A bit further away, Zhanlong Daynight was fighting against Nightking Gu.

None of the Dayking bloodline members could compare to the Nightking clan’s experts, but many of Nightking bloodline’s experts were being occupied by members from Leon’s Armada. Thus, the Dayking clan only needed to deal with a portion of the opposing Nightking clan.

“Lu Yin, today, I must kill you!” Nightking Zhenwu swore as he gritted his teeth. He then slowly raised a hand and caused a triple-fletched arrow to appear. Then, above the three fletchings, a fourth fletching appeared. This was a quadruple-fletched arrow.

Suddenly, the quadruple-fletched arrow seemed to be entwined with something else, and the heavens felt like they were breaking apart as everything before Lu Yin fluctuated.

Lu Yin’s eyes shrank, and he immediately activated Truesight to try to weaken the might of the quadruple-fletched arrow. However, no matter how hard he tried, the arrow retained enough power to severely wound him. More importantly, if he was injured by this arrow, then not only would it give him a physical injury, but it would also send the runes of the Heart Seeker secret technique into his body, which was absolutely deadly. 

Nightking Zhenwu revealed an arrogant look, and he relaxed his hand as the quadruple-fletched arrow shot out. The void split in two before the arrowhead. Qing Longlong and the other spectators all felt their scalps go numb, and they raced away.

Countless people were petrified as they witnessed this scene, as the power of this attack was simply too terrifying. 

Lu Yin’s eyes went wide, and he moved a single foot forward as he waved a hand. Before his eyes, lines appeared in his surroundings and formed a giant chessboard. Lu Yin, Nightking Zhenwu, and even the quadruple-fletched arrow each took up a separate space on this chessboard, the Ce Secret Art—Astral Chessboard. With this, everything in the universe was a chess piece.

The quadruple-fletched arrow was naturally a chesspiece as well, one which was shooting towards Lu Yin.

This was a Progenitor’s secret technique. If Lu Yin was up against something that he could not shift with the Yu Secret Art, then the Ce Secret Art similarly would not be able to fully control it. However, the appearance of the chessboard allowed Lu Yin to sense his current situation more sharply, and he could even see the nearby lines more clearly. He himself was a chesspiece, and if that was the case, then he could also be moved.

He saw himself as a chesspiece, so he moved himself.

The next moment, the quadruple-fletched arrow brushed past Lu Yin’s cheek and continued on into the distance, vanishing in just an instant.

Nightking Zhenwu’s expression changed drastically. Impossible!

Lu Yin struck out with a palm, and a Vacuum Palm landed straight on Nightking Zhenwu’s head, and his forehead visibly caved in. Logically, this attack should have knocked the Nightking unconscious if it shattered his head outright as he had not strengthened his body with his nine lined battle force. 

However, the golden radiance appeared once more before shattering, and Nightking Zhenwu returned back to normal. He stared at Lu Yin in disbelief. “How did you evade that quadruple-fletched arrow?” 

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. “Exactly what is your innate gift?”

The two of them had successfully confused the other now. Nightking Zhenwu could not understand how Lu Yin had avoided his arrow, as it had been a Progenitor’s battle technique that could even seal the void.

However, Lu Yin was even more confused, as he could not understand how Nightking Zhenwu could instantly and repeatedly recover from his injuries. It was simply freakish.

The countless people watching the battle between the two youths were even more perplexed. Even the powerhouses from the older generation like Liu Qianjue could not understand what was happening or what these two youths were doing.

This battle was not at the level of a fight between mere youths, and it had drawn the attention of countless older powerhouses. In fact, these two youths had revealed their ability to contend with Enlighters whose power levels were above 300,000.

“If you can avoid that quadruple-fletched arrow, then why don’t you try this!” Nightking Zhenwu’s expression grew malevolent. His skin cracked open as blood seeped out, giving him a bloodied look. Another quadruple-fletched arrow appeared in his hand, but then he spat a mouthful of blood onto the four feathers. With that, a fifth feather appeared; this was a quintuple-fletched arrow. 

Lu Yin was overwhelmed, and he immediately used Truesight to try to remove some of the arrow’s runes. 

At that moment, the sky seemed to flare up, as if an unbearable power had appeared.

Highsage Leon and Nightking Dijiang were also shocked, as this was a Progenitor’s battle technique. 

This quintuple-fletched arrow was not something that Nightking Zhenwu could normally manifest. However, he had sacrificed part of his own body in order to fire the arrow at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin’s face went pale, and the chessboard reappeared beneath his feet. He turned himself into a chesspiece, intending to move himself. He successfully did so; after all, this was a secret technique. Still, moving was one matter, and the quintuple-fletched arrow contained a sharpness that sliced at his neck, causing blood to spurt towards the sky. 

Lu Yin was shocked; this was not good. 

Nightking Zhenwu suddenly looked excited. “If the heart is willing, then anything can become an arrow! You’re doomed! Heart Seeker!” 

Lu Yin’s eyes went wide, and the Astral Chessboard suddenly shrank to cover him. He turned himself as well as the Heart Seeker secret technique into chesspieces that he instantly diverted. The Heart Seeker secret technique was shifted to his shoulder just a moment before it reached his heart, and Lu Yin moved his hand to tear away the flesh at his shoulder. 

This scene was identical to what had happened before, and nobody outside of the battle could make any sense of Lu Yin’s actions.

Only some powerhouses from the older generation were able to vaguely understand that this had something to do with a secret technique.

After all, only secret techniques could fight off another secret technique.

Nightking Zhenwu was astonished to see that even his Heart Seeker secret technique had been neutralized. Lu Yin could not be allowed to live! The same golden radiance once again appeared around the Nightking’s body, and his originally pitiful state instantly recovered. He once again manifested the quintuple-fletched arrow, injuring himself yet again. “Let’s see how many times you can avoid it!”

Lu Yin gritted his teeth, and Night Advent descended, causing Nightking Zhenwu to see nothing but darkness. 

Nightking Zhenwu snorted, as he had never been afraid of anyone when it came to spiritual force. 

But all Lu Yin needed was that single moment, as he used it to unleash Vacuum Palm while Nightking Zhenwu was still raising the arrow in his hand.

However, the power of the quintuple-fletched arrow was too great to be blocked. Although Lu Yin used the Astral Chessboard to once again divert the Heart Seeker secret technique, he had to rip off another piece of his body to eliminate it. 

Fresh blood dripped down from his body, making him look even more pathetic than Nightking Zhenwu.

Lu Yin did not hesitate in the slightest, and he continuously raised his hand to release Vacuum Palms, stopping Nightking Zhenwu from using the quintuple-fletched arrow again.

Nightking Zhenwu was constantly bombarded by Vacuum Palms, and his body sank underground. Indents appeared on his body, but a golden radiance would occasionally appear and completely restore him. 

Above the planet, the observing crowd was dumbfounded, as this was an unbelievable battle, and it far surpassed the confrontation between Lu Yin and Lan Si.

These people did not know about the remaining Ten Arbiters, but they were quite confident that these two youths had surpassed Lan Si.

Lu Yin blasted at Nightking Zhenwu, and the Nightking sank underground. The two people shot into the magma, and Lu Yin did not dare to let up. He knew that the moment he did, Nightking Zhenwu would be able to release another quintuple-fletched arrow.

Also, if Lu Yin did not stop his assault, he would not be able to kill Nightking Zhenwu either.

Nightking Zhenwu’s innate gift was inexplicable.

Nightking Zhenwu constantly coughed out blood, but he smiled like a fanatic. “Beat me! Let’s see just how much you can beat me, but you’ll never be able to defeat me! Nobody can defeat me! Hahaha.” 

Lu Yin gritted his teeth as he continued to unleash more Vacuum Palms to suppress Nightking Zhenwu. By now, Nightking Planet itself was starting to break apart.

Could he truly not win? Just what exactly was this person’s innate gift?

Given Nightking Zhenwu’s arrogance, he would not tell anybody else about his innate gift, as this was his greatest trump card, and it was what made him impossible to defeat.

Sweat mixed with blood and as the mixture rained down. Lu Yin’s arms grew weak, and he decided to roll his die. If Nightking Zhenwu was betting on his innate gift, then so too could Lu Yin. They could simply compete over whose innate gift was better. 

Suddenly, a voice rang out in Lu Yin’s ears. “Don’t give up! This might be the day when he ascends into glory, but it might also be the darkest moment of his life. I can’t calculate his future.”

It was Starsibyl. Lu Yin had never thought that, at this moment, Starsibyl would tell him such a thing. She could not predict Nightking Zhenwu’s future? 

While Lu Yin was thinking about this, the golden radiance reappeared on Nightking Zhenwu’s body, and he instantly recovered again. Then, he raised a hand and unleashed Skybreaker. Lu Yin was caught unprepared and was struck head on without a chance to recite the Stonewall Scriptures. As a result, his mind went fuzzy, and he crashed far underground.

Nightking Zhenwu leaped up, panting heavily. He waved a hand, causing his star energy to form an arrow that would pierce Lu Yin’s body and pin him to the ground. At that moment, Nightking Zhenwu’s vision shifted, and he saw the First Nightking, still as imposing as before. Hmph, so it’s Night’s End, Daybreak. 

Others might be forever dragged down into a fantasy by Night’s End, Daybreak and be unable to free themselves, but Zhenwu would not. He had comprehended Skybreaker.

Pop!

Zhuo Daynight spat out a mouthful of blood and crumpled to the ground, her face deathly white.
