Chapter 1178: Battle Of The Ten Arbiters

Chapter 1115: Battle Of The Ten Arbiters

Lu Yin continuously threw out Vacuum Palms, and he put his all into each strike. However, whenever an attack passed through Jin He’s screen, its rune lines would be reduced by half, meaning that none of the attacks were able to present much of a threat when they reached Jin He.

Lu Yin suddenly thought of Nightking Zhenwu’s Heart Seeker secret technique, as a sneak attack secret technique like that would be perfectly suited for this situation. As long as such an attack landed, it would be enough to severely injure or even kill Jin He outright.

Jin He retreated, step by step. Although he was confident that he would not be defeated, he also knew that he could not defeat Lu Yin, and he truly regretted his previous actions. If he had known that this day would come, he would have personally dealt with the Big Sis Mercenaries.

Who could have known that, at that time, a commoner who hadn’t cultivated would eventually climb to a level where he could suppress Jin He in such a manner in only a bit more than ten years? This sort of talent was absolutely terrifying.

As he thought about this, a deep killing intent glimmered in the depths of Jin He’s eyes. He could not give Lu Yin any more time to mature; otherwise, who knew what sort of strength Lu Yin would develop in the future.

“Brother Lu, I won’t play around with you anymore.” Jin He smiled as dozens of guns appeared in front of him and fired at the same time. Dozens of bullets pierced through the void as they all flew towards Lu Yin.

Jin He intended to leave. Later on, he would come up with some way to destroy Lu Yin, as it was impossible to do so in a one-on-one fight.

Lu Yin’s eyes quivered as something seemed to move beneath his feet. A chessboard appeared that only he could see: Ce Secret Art, Astral Chessboard. Lu Yin turned himself into a chesspiece, and he moved.

His entire body vanished as he reappeared right behind Jin He. Suddenly, there was less than a meter separating the two of them.

Jin He’s pupils shrank in disbelief. Not good! A secret technique?

Lu Yin pressed a hand against Jin He’s chest. There was a soft thump as Jin He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood while his body was sent flying away. He spat out another mouthful of blood while still in midair, the blood dying his hair red. Afterwards, he fell out of the sea, his face deathly white.

Lu Yin did not plan on giving Jin He any opportunity to survive, and he threw out another Vacuum Palm, intending to exterminate Jin He in one go.

But at that moment, a shield appeared in front of Jin He. It had formed as he flew out of the sea, and it had coincidentally blocked Lu Yin’s Vacuum Palm.

Even the power of Lu Yin’s Vacuum Palm could not break through this shield.

The Mountain and Seas Zone rejected all foreign objects, and the guns and shield that Jin He had condensed could only be used once.

This was the mystery of Truesight; it allowed one to truly create items, especially in this place where others could not bring anything in.

After blocking one of Lu Yin’s Vacuum Palms, Jin He endured the pain in his chest as he formed another shield. A moment later, it managed to block another Vacuum Palm.

Lu Yin barked, “How many more times can you stop me?”

He then raised a hand and struck out with yet another Vacuum Palm.

Jin He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. After that, his star energy converged in front of him as his pupils transformed into runes and he tried to erase the rune lines before him. However, this time, he affected a much smaller area than before, and he was only able to protect half of his body. Additionally, when Lu Yin’s Vacuum Palm passed through the defensive screen, Jin He could not dodge the attack, and he was struck in the abdomen. He was sent flying once more as he spat out even more blood.

Lu Yin groaned, and his body flickered as he raced after Jin He. Once he reached the Arbiter, Lu Yin looked down and said, “Unable to be attacked? What a joke.”

There was blood leaking out of the corner of Jin He’s mouth, and he was sprawled on the seabed. He struggled to look up at Lu Yin and revealed a bitter smile. “A secret technique. Again, it’s a secret technique, as only a mysterious secret technique would allow you to approach me. This defeat is fair. Lu Yin, kill me if you can.”

Lu Yin did not hesitate, as he did not plan to talk any further with Jin He. Lu Yin was just about to deliver the final blow when several figures suddenly shot up from the seafloor. “Stop!”

Lu Yin looked over and saw that this group of people were from Gods’ Origin, and there were a total of seven men and women.

Their leader was a man, and when he saw that Lu Yin was about to execute Jin He, he shouted, “Stop! I’m God Qingguang from Gods’ Origin. This person is a traitor to my Gods’ Origin, so we must take him back to be judged.”

God Qingguang waved a hand, and several people dashed out from behind him and towards Jin He, ready to take him away.

Lu Yin’s expression grew cold, and he casually waved a hand. Ripples spread through the void, and an enormous strength forced everyone who had moved to seize Jin He back.

“Who’s letting you take him away?” Lu Yin coldly asked.

God Qingguang’s brows rose. “Brother, think about this carefully. We’re from Gods’ Origin. If you want to get your revenge, then come to my Gods’ Origin and personally watch him be judged. We welcome you to do so. But, please, don’t block us.”

Lu Yin had long heard of how arrogant the people from Gods’ Origin were. While it was true that God Taiyi was quite arrogant and that he referred to himself as a god, God Taiyi had also helped Lu Yin before, which made God Taiyi’s arrogance seem less overbearing. However, against God Qingguang, Lu Yin was able to sense the sheer arrogance of these people, and he could understand why people called them lunatics.

Jin He laughed. “This is great! God Qingguang, keep moving. This is Lu Yin. You want to take me away from him? What a joke!”

God Qingguang frowned. “Shut up, traitor!”

He then focused on Lu Yin. “I’ve heard of you. God Taiyi mentioned you and that you also cultivate Truesight. We won’t bicker over that, but don’t stop us right now. Take him away.”

Those few Gods’ Origin people moved for Jin He once again.

Jin He looked at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin had a cold expression. With a sharp glare, he unleashed Night Advent in all directions. God Qingguang and the others were all enveloped by the darkness, and the spiritual force attack left them dizzy. Aside from God Qingguang, all the other cultivators from Gods’ Origin practically collapsed to the ground.

God Qingguang shouted, and his pupils transformed into runes as he stared into Lu Yin’s eyes.

Lu Yin’s pupils similarly transformed into runes as he locked eyes with God Qingguang. Both sides were erasing the other’s rune lines. This was a battle that outsiders could not witness, as only people who had cultivated Truesight could understand anything.

There was an explosion, and God Qingguang’s body trembled. He exclaimed in shock, “You’ve actually cultivated Truesight to the Clarity realm?”

Lu Yin retorted, “Haven’t you done the same?”

God Qingguang was in disbelief. “It’s extremely difficult for outsiders to reach the Clarity realm—you must have found a Rune Technology ruin. Hand it over!”

Lu Yin was amused. “Your brain must not be working right. Was the Rune Progenitor your ancestor?”

God Qingguang’s face twisted into an extremely ugly expression.

The other people from Gods’ Origin all began to shout as they glared at Lu Yin.

“Seventh Bro, these fellows are all sick. They’re lunatics,” the Ghost Monkey shouted.

At this moment, Black and White shot up from the seafloor and stood next to Lu Yin as they glared at God Qingguang. “Eh? White, it’s the crackpots!”

“Yes, Black, the nuts are here.”

The expressions of God Qingguang and the others all grew darker.

Suddenly, Lu Yin’s expression changed, and he turned around to look at Jin He, only to see that a strange device had appeared on Jin He’s back. He smiled at Lu Yin. “Goodbye!”

Then, the device released a loud noise as Jin He suddenly shot away, moving even faster than when he had tried to flee earlier. He went straight to the seafloor and raced into a current.

Lu Yin was too late to even try to chase after Jin He.

He was infuriated, and he glared at God Qingguang and the others. They were even more upset, as they felt that Lu Yin had interfered in their business.

“Lu Yin, right? We’ll remember you!” God Qingguang was enraged.

Lu Yin clenched his fists. “Originally, for God Taiyi’s sake, I didn’t want to fight with you all despite your provocations.”

He then lifted a hand and swatted out with multiple Vacuum Palms.

These invisible palm strikes were inexplicable, and neither God Qingguang nor any of the others could do anything about these attacks. They could not react like Jin He, and although they were a group of seven, not a single one of them managed to evade an attack. As a result, all of them fell into the sea.

Lu Yin did not attack with overly powerful Vacuum Palms, as he did not want to do much to these people besides teach them a lesson. That way, perhaps they would not impede him in the future.

Of the seven youths from Gods’ Origin, God Qingguang was the only Hunter, and the rest were just Cruisers. They had each been struck by a Vacuum Palm, and although none of them were weak, they all found the attacks unendurable. Thus, quite a few of them fell unconscious as they floated on the surface of the sea.

God Qingguang’s face turned green, and he gritted his teeth as he glared at Lu Yin. A hazy green light radiated from his body.¹

Lu Yin was curious. “So you actually have an innate gift of healing.”

“Lu Yin, do you know who you’re going against?” God Qingguang barked, unable to curb his rage.

Lu Yin was amused. “A bunch of lunatics.”

“Alright, just you wait! My Gods’ Origin will not let you go! You’re from the Innerverse, so this Astral Tower contest has nothing to do with any of you. People will soon make trouble for you, so just wait to be thrown out!” God Qingguang threatened.

Lu Yin frowned. “I’ve already heard the news that there are some people who want to team up and kick all of the Innerverse people out. So tell me, just who’s going to make trouble for me?”

God Qingguang sneered. He then used his star energy to pick up the other six people as he left.

Lu Yin fell deep into thought. God Qingguang’s bravado did not seem fake, and Starsibyl’s worries were not wrong either. The Neoverse was indeed trying to push the Innerverse out. In the past, Starsibyl had begged the Ten Arbiters to work together, which was not illogical. Even if the Ten Arbiters were even more powerful, they could not go against the sheer numbers of the Neoverse’s elite youths.

However, there was one detail that reassured Lu Yin: the Ten Arbiters were truly strong.

Before Lu Yin had arrived at the Mountain and Seas Zone, he had been frightened by Highsage Shenwei and Starsibyl’s descriptions. He had come to believe that the heirs of the Seven Courts and the core disciples of the other great powers in the Neoverse could each rival the Ten Arbiters. If that were true, then they could use their numerical advantage to completely suppress the Ten Arbiters.

However, his battle with Ku Lei had allowed Lu Yin to realize that while Ku Lei did indeed have the strength to fight with the Ten Arbiters, it would be very difficult for him to beat any of them. Out of the Ten Arbiters, Lu Yin only understood the strength of Lan Si, Nightking Zhenwu, and Jin He. However, the rest of the Arbiters were just as unfathomable, and Lu Yin did not truly understand any of them. If the people of the Neoverse underestimated the Ten Arbiters, then the final outcome might not be the one they hoped to see.

Lan Si’s Vacuum Palm was not something that Ku Lei could easily deal with, and Nightking Zhenwu’s battle prowess went without saying, especially given his deceptive and deadly personality. Jin He’s use of Truesight had practically reached perfection, as even the people from Gods’ Origin could not match up to him. Additionally, throughout the entire battle, Jin He had never used his innate gift. Did he not have one, or had he simply not used it?

“Lu Yin, let’s keep traveling in the current.” Black and White pulled at Lu Yin and hurried back down towards the seabed.

In the Mountain and Seas Zone, in a certain area on the seabed, blood flowed from Wen Sansi’s arms. His face was a bit pale, and across from him stood a woman: Qiu Shi.

“The fabled All Rounder Fairy truly lives up to her epithet. That must be your Cosmic Art that you just used at full force. It actually broke through my Literary Prison,” Wen Sansi praised.

Across from him, Qiu Shi’s expression was calm. “You’re not my match. Leave the Mountain and Seas Zone. This Astral Tower contest has nothing to do with you.”

Wen Sansi felt helpless. “I carry the hopes of my Wen family and the entire Innerverse on my back, and I am truly unwilling to leave so easily.”

“Then I’ll send you on your way.” As she spoke, the star energy around Qiu Shi’s body trembled, and more than 900 stars revolved about her body. The seafloor suddenly looked like outer space as she raised a hand and struck out with a Cosmic Palm.

Wen Sansi clenched his fists and waved a hand. Ancient characters appeared one after another, trying to trap Qiu Shi within a formation. This was a seven by seven array.

Everyone knew that Wen Sansi of the Ten Arbiters was well-versed in the Literary Prison and that he used a seven by seven array.

However his seven by seven Literary Prison was not enough to trap Qiu Shi, and when the stars exploded, the Literary Prison shattered just like before.

But at that moment, the number of characters suddenly increased as it transformed into an eight by eight array.
