Chapter 571: Opening Line

Chapter 506: Opening Line

Yōu Ye’er looked down from atop the mountain range, recalling how one of her elders had described the Sword Sect’s Fifth Sword: “The human merges with the sword; the sword merges with the domain; the human merges with the domain. Three become one for the Fifth Sword.”

“What did you say?” Hai Qiqi was lost.

Yōu Ye’er shook her head. “Nothing. Do you think that he can take the Fifth Sword?”

Hai Qiqi rolled her eyes. “I don’t know.”

At the base of the mountain range, Lu Yin’s face grew solemn. He could sense Liu Shaoqiu’s forcefield as well as the Fifth Sword’s terrifying strength that merged everything into one entity. This sharpness was something that was incomparable to anything from before, and it was already causing spatial cracks to appear in the void. In Lu Yin’s eyes, Liu Shaoqiu had already become a sword, and Lu Yin could see countless spatial cracks extending out from the swordsman’s body. He was on the verge of slicing through the space in this area.

Ling Que looked at Liu Shaoqiu with surprise. This attack lived up to the reputation of the Sword Sect’s Thirteen Swords, and if this person had completely comprehended this attack, then Ling Que might not have been able to defeat the Sword Sect genius and their battle might have ended in a draw. 

Mu Rong also stared on in astonishment. The inheritor of the Thirteen Swords was indeed not someone simple. 

Countless people watched the confrontation between the two with great expectations, wondering whether or not Liu Shaoqiu’s sword would be able to defeat Lu Yin. 

Liu Shaoqiu’s eyes suddenly snapped wide open as he unsheathed the tip of his sword. With Liu Shaoqiu himself as the center, the sharp aura radiated out in a circle. The circle quickly expanded from a hundred, then a thousand, and then ten thousand meters away from Liu Shaoqiu. Everyone was enveloped within this sharp aura, and it caused their scalps to turn numb. This was a strength that could determine their life and death. 

Mu Rong raised his hand and saw that a very miniscule wound had appeared upon his palm. It wasn’t just him; everyone who was within the Fifth Sword’s domain range had received various injuries to some extent. This caused the cultivators to become even more terrified, and they all hurriedly retreated again. 

Lu Yin raised his hand and flicked out. The void twinkled and formed a white shockwave that shot towards the ground. The Fifth Sword had not been completely unleashed yet, but it had already tried to harm Lu Yin, which was normally impossible. 

Lu Yin suddenly shook his head when he made contact with the Fifth Sword. “This sword is still beyond you.” 

The crowd had not thought that Lu Yin would suddenly say such a thing, and many went into a daze while only a select few looked towards Liu Shaoqiu with a bit of sympathy. 

Elder Chou Shu sighed from the heavens. “The Fifth Sword, where human, sword, and domain merge as one. He has merged human and domain, and human and sword. However, he has yet to merge sword and domain. His strength was not properly contained, and that caused it to fail at the last minute. This sword is not something that he can use yet.” 

Behind Elder Chou Shu, Liu Sanjian looked at the screen with pity. “If he could use the Fifth Sword, then Shaoqiu would definitely be the strongest down there.” 

Elder Chou Shu replied faintly. “Not necessarily. No, that’s actually wrong; even if he could use the Fifth Sword, he still would not be the strongest.” Elder Chou Shu stared at Lu Yin. “I saw this person battle against Mu Rong, and this kid has a strength that has also reached the pinnacle. He is not someone who can be withstood by those in the same realm, unless they have similarly reached a pinnacle in some aspect.” 

Liu Sanjian was lost. “The pinnacle?” 

Elder Chou Shu nodded and explained, “Yes, the pinnacle, like the Ten Arbiters.”

Liu Sanjian was shocked. “That kid can rival the Ten Arbiters?”

Elder Chou Shu did not reply, but he did not deny the possibility either.

One of the Ten Arbiters was from the Sword Sect, so they clearly understood the strength of the Ten Arbiters. These monsters’ reputation was not something that had been fabricated; it was genuine. Even to a powerhouse like Liu Sanjian, who neared the strength of an Enlighter, the strength of the Ten Arbiters when they had been Limiteers was something that was unimaginable to him, as it went against his understanding of the universe. 

It was precisely because the Sword Sect understood the strength of the Ten Arbiters when they had been Limiteers that they had not cared much for Lu Yin and the rest when they were proclaimed as Ten Arbiters candidates, because the gap was just too vast. They were simply not on the same level. The so-called “Ten Arbiters candidate” title was just given as encouragement. But on this day, a person who could truly rival the Ten Arbiters had appeared. Liu Sanjian understood quite well how scary it was for someone to rival the Ten Arbiters strength in the Limiteer realm and how inconceivable such a thing was. 

To all the Limiteers present, such a person was nothing but a freak.

It was no wonder why, after Lu Yin acted, Elder Chou Shu had ordered everyone to retreat. This was someone who was literally unstoppable by those present.

On Planet Pyrolyte, just like what Lu Yin had said, Liu Shaoqiu was not able to completely execute the Fifth Sword. His forcefield had collapsed, or it was also possible that it had collapsed on its own since he had not managed to merge the sword into his domain.

Liu Shaoqiu spat out a mouthful of blood, and he suddenly looked miserable.

Lu Yin looked at him calmly. “Although this sword is still a bit beyond you, you’re not far from being able to unleash it. I’ll wait for your challenge since I probably won’t become an Explorer before you.”

Liu Shaoqiu couldn’t accept such words. “Are you pitying me?”

Lu Yin shook his head. “It doesn’t matter if you believe me or not, but it will be more difficult for me to become an Explorer than you. However, even before breaking through, I’ll still be able to challenge the Top 100 Rankings. So the agreement can be nullified today, as you are currently unable to challenge the Top 100 along with me.” 

Liu Shaoqiu left in silence, as he had lost before the battle had even begun. However, he did not regret his actions one bit. If he did not even have the courage to engage in a battle, then how could he even consider trying to surpass his ancestors? 

Most of the crowd quickly left one after another. Since Lu Yin was the guardian of this area, no one would be able to seize control of this region.

At this moment, a few Daynight clan members charged over with the intention of taking Zhanlong Daynight away. Lu Yin casually struck out with a Spacerender Palm, unleashing a shockwave that swept out and sent them all flying away. “You guys can’t take him away.” 

The Daynight clan members were terrified. “Lu Yin, are you trying to create a blood feud with our Daynight clan?” 

“Just wait until after I question him.”

“You!” By this time, Nightqueen Yanqing had finally awoken. Her injuries were severe, as Lu Yin remembered how she had used Zhuo Daynight as a shield. He had not shown much mercy in his previous attack, and it was mostly thanks to her Nightking’s Body and her battle force that she had managed to survive. 

Nightqueen Yanqing was being supported by other Daynight members, and she sent a death glare at Lu Yin, as if she wanted to devour him. 

Lu Yin merely glanced at her before turning to leave.

“Lu Yin, pyrolyte ore is a strategic resource. If you dare take it, Elder Yuanjing will not protect you or your Great Yu Empire!” Nightqueen Yanqing threatened. 

Lu Yin froze in place and then slowly turned around.

From a distance, the Sword Sect, Wen family, Second Grade Hall, Dire Barbarian Clan, Blaze Realm, and all of the other great powers saw this exchange as well. If possible, none of them wanted to retreat, but it looked like the Daynight clan wanted to violate the agreement at this time.

If it was against another power, then the Innerverse powers would be able to mutually restrict each other, preventing the Daynight clan from breaking the rules, just like how Wen Qichen had been stopped by Nightqueen Qiuyu when he wanted to circumvent the rules that everyone had agreed upon. However, right now, they were all against Lu Yin, and he did not have much of a background. At best, he could be considered to hold the status of the Sea King’s future son-in-law, but he was just the future son-in-law. Right now, it didn’t really amount to much of a backing. 

If the Daynight clan was able to threaten him and force him away from the mountain range, then they could all continue to fight over it. 

However, they were also afraid that Lu Yin would be won over by the Daynight clan, which would be even more annoying. 

“You’re threatening me.” Lu Yin stared coldly at Nightqueen Yanqing. 

Nightqueen Yanqing panted heavily, and the Daynight members around her stared fearfully at Lu Yin, terrified that he would attack them. 

But then, Lu Yin withdrew his gaze. “You’re one step behind.” Lu Yin pointed at the mountain range. “There’s someone up there with an even higher position.”

Everyone involuntarily looked where he had pointed.

Yōu Ye’er blinked and then turned towards Hai Qiqi. Aside from the people from the Northline Flowzone, there was only this kid on top of the mountains.

Hai Qiqi did not back away. Instead, she stepped forward, towering high in the sky as she prepared to speak. However, she could not think of a good opening line, so she simply rolled her eyes. “Dregs, I’m your Miss Qi.” 

The mountain range fell silent, and everyone stared blankly at Hai Qiqi. Even Mu Rong was included in the speechless crowd. Dregs? Was she referring to them?

The expression on Yōu Ye’er’s face as she looked at Hai Qiqi began to shift to adoration. This opening line was too awesome! 

Hai Qiqi blinked and looked at everyone in the area. Had she chosen her words poorly?

Lu Yin had already discovered that Hai Qiqi’s venomous tongue was not entirely reliable, but he hadn’t known it could fail to such a degree. Such a serious occasion had been completely destroyed by her. However, this also caused his resentment towards her to diminish greatly. The one who had plotted against him was the Sea King, not Hai Qiqi. 

Nightqueen Yanqing stared at Hai Qiqi. Stupid brat, I’ll tear your tongue out sooner or later!

Hai Qiqi looked at Lu Yin. 

Lu Yin indifferently announced, “She’s Hai Qiqi, the Sea King’s daughter.”

At the base of the mountain range, a commotion exploded as everyone stared at Hai Qiqi in shock; the Sea King’s daughter?

Mu Rong was also shocked. Although he had also participated in the competition to become the Sea King’s son-in-law, he had never actually met the Sea King’s daughter. This was her? He suddenly felt incredibly lucky that he had not pulled out the Sea King’s Trident. 

Ling Que stared at the scene blankly while feeling that something was off. The Sea King’s daughter’s first words had been a bit too unrestrained.

Xi Yue stared at Hai Qiqi. This was Lu Yin’s fiancée? The two made quite a match.

Nightqueen Yanqing’s pupils shrank. The Sea King’s daughter! It was no wonder why she had humiliated Nightqueen Yanqing in such a manner. Yanqing suddenly felt as if she would never be able to do anything to this stupid brat for her entire life. 

Yōu Ye’er was also surprised. She’s the Sea King’s daughter?

Hai Qiqi was proud of the attention she was currently receiving, and she looked at everyone with a pleased expression. This was the effect and the kind of entrance that she had always wanted. As a girl, she desired the spotlight even more than a man, but she had always been overshadowed in the Starfall Sea. She had let the selection for her future husband be held just so that she could have someone accompany her when she left the Starfall Sea to go out and play. Her lifelong dream had finally been achieved.

Now that the Sea King’s daughter had appeared, Nightqueen Yanqing could no longer find a single word. The Sea King’s attitude could be seen by the fact that he had allowed his own daughter to accompany Lu Yin out in the universe, and the Daynight clan’s threats to him were now completely meaningless. 

The rest sighed. Sure enough, Lu Yin really did something to rely on before he acted.

At this point, the mood in outer space around the planet shifted, and a dark-red gas curled up and created some ripples as the void quivered. Everyone felt an immense pressure descend on the planet as they all looked up. A face appeared from outer space; it was the Second Grade Hall’s Enlighter, Ka Dejia. 

Ever since the contest on Planet Pyrolyte had started, this was the first time an Enlighter had directly intervened. 

“The Sea King’s Dome has not promised to protect your empire, kid. I’d advise you to reconsider the outcome before you act again,” Ka Dejia’s voice spread across all of Planet Pyrolyte. 

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. 

Hai Qiqi suddenly shouted, “You scared me so bad! You old shameless thing, hide your stupid face!” 

Ka Dejia was furious, but he could only act as if he had not seen Hai Qiqi. He continued to stare at Lu Yin. “Kid, did you hear me? Hai Dashao’s personal promise isn’t enough to represent the Sea King’s Dome, which means that they won’t intervene in a conflict in the Outerverse. They will not protect your empire!” 

Lu Yin did not speak, and he merely looked at the sky. It’s time to appear, Hai Dashao.

Sure enough, the next moment, Ka Dejia’s face changed, and he vanished from the crowd’s sight. Planet Pyrolyte descended into silence once again.

All the Enlighters in outer space stared at a youth standing tall above Planet Pyrolyte. They were amazed, as he was none other than Hai Dashao.

Hai Dashao’s appearance caught all the other great powers unprepared. Was the Sea King’s Dome actually going to intervene in this contest on Planet Pyrolyte?
