Chapter 1040: The Might Of The Ten Arbiters

The further one progressed along the Overlaying Stacks Path, the greater the difference between each stack would become; this was the same underlying progression as battle force. Although the attacks only had a difference of what seemed like twenty stacks, only someone like Lu Yin, whose monstrous strength had greatly surpa.s.sed his peers’, could make up for such a difference.

The sky splitting collision repeated itself, and the second spatial crack even surpa.s.sed the size of the previous one. This second one shot out in all directions as the entire planet trembled while deep cracks appeared underground. Shockingly, the planet was unable to endure the aftershocks of the intense battle between the two youths.

Above the planet, the spatial crack split off in four different directions like a lightning bolt. The spectators above the planet retreated even further back, as they were afraid of being caught up in the fight.

Quite a few people were overwhelmed by what they were witnessing, as the power level of the explosion released by the attacks’ collision had surpa.s.sed 200,000. In other words, what seemed to be a fight between two youths had just resulted in an Enlighter-level explosion, and they were only getting started.

One palm after another struck out. Lan Si had not expected Lu Yin to be able to endure through pure strength, but Lu Yin managed to do so. He blocked each of the Arbiter’s palms, which astonished Lan Si, but he also was not overly surprised. If Lu Yin was not even able to block Lan Si’s opening attacks, then the Arbiter would have grossly overestimated Lu Yin’s abilities.

The two’s palms struck and then retreated at the same time. Lan Si’s gaze trembled. “One Hundred Forty Stacks.”

He then raced forward and slammed down a suppressive palm.

Lu Yin’s brows rose up, as Lan Si was relying on his higher cultivation realm as well as his greater achievements in the Overlaying Stacks Path to suppress Lu Yin right from the start. Lu Yin did not hurry to retaliate, as he wanted to see the Arbiter’s bottom line. He had just attacked with One Hundred Forty Stacks, which should be quite close.

Lu Yin thought about his circ.u.mstances, and a purplish-red color covered his entire body that was streaked through with red lines. This was his nine lined battle force. “One Hundred Stacks.”

Thump!

Planet Fleabane shuddered from its core. Even if the two had only exchanged about a dozen palms so far, these attacks had all been at the same intensity, which the surrounding region was unable to take. The power level of the aftershocks had already surpa.s.sed 200,000.

Lan Si knew that Lu Yin had comprehended battle force, but the Arbiter had never expected that it would have already reached nine lines, and he was carelessly forced back a step. “You’ve actually comprehended nine lined battle force?”

Lu Yin flung his hand out, and the strength of his swing tore the surface of the sea open and caused the seabed’s magma to erupt as lava rained down from the sky. The temperature above the sea suddenly spiked.

“This is getting interesting.” Lan Si grew excited. “One Hundred Fifty Stacks, Five Hundredfold Shockwave Palm.”

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. “One Hundred Stacks, Five Hundredfold Shockwave Palm.”

He reinforced his attack with his nine lined battle force, causing his palm to unleash an incredible strength.

The two vanished from the surface of the sea, and when they reappeared, their palms had already connected. At that moment, Planet Fleabane broke apart, and an incomparably ma.s.sive spatial crack swept through s.p.a.ce. It cut a single straight line, slas.h.i.+ng through the vessels floating over the planet as countless machines exploded. They could not endure the might of this collision.

At that moment, the power level of the battle’s aftershocks was nearing 250,000.

The shockwave swept through the nearby area, and countless faces went pale as people hurriedly moved even further away.

Within the Outerverse, anyone who witnessed this scene would be overwhelmed. These attacks contained no fancy tricks and each one seemed to be the same. However, the most alarming aspect was that these two youths were competing in a primitive contest of strength.

Everyone knew that Lu Yin was adept at the Overlaying Stacks Path, but against Lan Si, Lu Yin had no choice but to use his battle force to complement his attacks. This was the power of the Ten Arbiters.

Within the Innerverse, the sight of their attacks’ collisions also left many people stunned, as n.o.body within the Top 100 Rankings was able to unleash the might comparable to these two’s.

Ling Gong was amazed. “With just that palm alone, Lu Yin has proven his qualifications to be seated among the Ten Arbiters.”

In the Sword Sect, Liu Shaoqiu closed his eyes. Such strength was out of reach for him.

Countless Sword Sect disciples were stunned at what they saw. In the past, this person had fought against Liu Shaoqiu and Liu Xiaoyun, but now, he had already reached the level where he could fight the Ten Arbiters. In other words, he could even battle against their grand senior. How frightening!

Nightking Zhenwu’s eyes narrowed, but he was not in the least bit surprised. Lu Yin still had not revealed his true strength yet but neither had Lan Si. As a member of the Ten Arbiters, the Nightking was absolutely certain that Lan Si possessed far more moves than what he had shown so far.

Still, Lu Yin had actually already improved his battle force to nine lines even though it had only been eight lines when they had fought in the Innerverse. This person improved far too quickly, and Nightking Zhenwu could not wait any longer. If Lan Si did not kill Lu Yin in this battle, then the Nightking would have to personally take action. This kid’s progress was too insanely fast.

Starsibyl stared at the screen as her eyes constantly flickered. She was still unable to calculate Lu Yin’s fate, but she seemed to see something vague. The premonition reminded her of the Tournament of the Strongest that had taken place when Lu Yin had been in the Astral Combat Academy.

The seas on Planet Fleabane churned, and the seawater and the lava intermixed and formed red raindrops that fell down, covering the surface of the sea and falling down upon the two combatants.

Lu Yin’s hands trembled, as the power of Lan Si’s One Hundred Fifty Stacks was simply too incredible. Lan Si was able to use One Hundred Fifty Stacks, which meant that his physical strength was also obscene, and Lu Yin’s hands could not quite endure the impact despite his nine lined battle force.

However, Lan Si was not having a good time either.

Lan Si was genuinely surprised. “Very few people in our generation can receive my One Hundred Fifty Stacks, and I thought that, at best, you’d be able to receive One Hundred Forty Stacks. On top of that, your Shockwave Palm has actually reached the Five Hundredfold threshold as well.”

Lu Yin raised his hand. “Five Hundredfold? No.”

He then charged towards Lan Si. This was the first time that Lu Yin had taken the initiative to attack, and he clapped both of his hands together as his nine lined battle force flared. “One Hundred Stacks, Six Hundredfold Shockwave Palm.”

Lan Si’s expression changed, and he raised his hand in defense. There was a loud explosion as an intense sonic boom struck both of them before dozens of more explosions detonated in the sky. The collision of their attacks was so powerful that the impact had distorted the void and ruined many of the recording equipment outside the planet. Their speed was so fast that they turned and left the planet, fighting in outer s.p.a.ce for some time before falling back down onto Planet Fleabane.

The screens were simply unable to capture the two’s images, and the viewers could only see the fights once they stopped trading blows.

Whether one looked at Lan Si or Lu Yin, both of them had hands that were flushed a deep red, and a trace of fresh blood could be seen seeping out through their skin. It was impossible to tell whose blood it was, but there was blood on both youths’ hands.

This was an extreme stalemate of the Overlaying Stacks Path, and it was also an extreme stalemate between two of the best physiques in the younger generation. Lan Si and Lu Yin were competing through the Overlaying Stacks Path, and Lu Yin’s multiplicative Shockwave Palm had actually surpa.s.sed Lan Si’s.

Dozens of volcanoes erupted across Planet Fleabane all at once, and a rain of lava started to fall on them. The various bizarre plants and creatures were completely confused. It looked like a scene from doomsday.

n.o.body had imagined that Lu Yin would be able to fight Lan Si to this degree, and the explosions from the impacts between the two had already surpa.s.sed a power level of 250,000. Even when the Ten Arbiters had first been established, those ten youths had not possessed this level of strength.

In other words, if Lu Yin and the Ten Arbiters were of the same age, then one of the ten would not have made it while Lu Yin would have easily become one of the Ten Arbiters.

However, Lu Yin was not the same age as the Ten Arbiters. He was still constantly improving, as were the Ten Arbiters.

“Someone once told me that you even have a secret technique and can use G.o.ds’ Origin’s methods, neither of which you’ve used so far,” Lan Si commented in a low voice.

Lu Yin’s gaze trembled. “Nightking Zhenwu.”

Lan Si was unfl.u.s.tered. “You can use those now. Otherwise, you won’t even have the chance.”

Lu Yin’s brows rose. “What gives you such self-confidence? The battle technique that you’ve been constantly practicing?”

Lan Si nodded. “That’s right. The battle technique is called Vacuum Palm, and it’s an invisible palm imprint. I’ll give you an opportunity to attack me first, since you won’t have any more chances after I make my move.”

Lu Yin’s expression grew sharp.

The Ghost Monkey became enraged. “Arrogant! Seventh Bro, this fellow is too arrogant. Let’s not fight him anymore. There’s no need to bicker with arrogant people!” The monkey was actually completely terrified at this moment.

Lu Yin raised his hand. “Then I won’t hold back anymore.”

His star energy began to converge over his right palm, and two burning suns appeared that illuminated Planet Fleabane. It was as if twin stars had descended. “Twin Suns.”

Lu Yin pushed the two suns towards Lan Si, who threw his hands apart, sending the blood that covered his hands flying. The Arbiter also threw out a palm in response. The scattered blood did not belong to the Arbiter, but rather to Lu Yin. Lan Si was planning on blocking the two suns with One Hundred Fifty Stacks.

The star energy that composed Lu Yin’s first sun was equivalent to almost the entire reserves of an Enlighter with a power level of 250,000. When it crashed into Lan Si’s Overlaying Stacks Path, the first sun broke apart. Its impact caused all of the star energy within it to explode and shoot into the sky, scattering the clouds and shattering the sky. An explosion erupted even in outer s.p.a.ce as a golden radiance swept out, affecting all of the surrounding s.p.a.cecraft and rendering them uncontrollable.

The first sun’s explosion directly struck Lan Si’s palm, and the second sun followed close behind it, directly blasting at Lan Si’s chest. The Arbiter was pushed down into the seabed by the two suns, where they exploded again at the bottom of the sea. Planet Fleabane quivered, and the sea evaporated at a rapid pace as the void itself warped.

Lan Si opened his eyes at the bottom of the sea. All that he could was darkness while all he could sense was an overwhelmingly oppressive force: a spiritual force attack.

Lu Yin even had a spiritual force attack? Lan Si felt shock in his heart, and his brain was battered by the bombardment as his entire being was suppressed by the spiritual force attack. His body trembled. Then, a trace of golden light descended into the darkness; the two suns were falling upon him again.

Lan Si’s expression changed, as the sheer intensity of Lu Yin’s attacks had surpa.s.sed Lan Si’s expectations. No matter if he considered Lu Yin’s star energy attacks, physical strength, or even his spiritual force, every attack gave Lan Si a sense of danger. He could not afford to wait any longer.

Lu Yin shot towards the bottom of the sea, sweeping the two suns aside as he dashed through the water. He refused to believe that Lan Si’s body was capable of fully withstanding his Two Suns multiple times in a row, as this attack used not only converged star energy, but also infused cauldron energy. This was the Nine Cauldrons’ battle technique, and it was powerful enough to suppress the battle techniques of an entire generation. Lu Yin believed that the Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation would prove to be unrivaled when it was completed. Even if he was only able to converge two suns at the moment, it was still powerful enough to let him fight against anyone.

Suddenly, Lu Yin felt his scalp go numb. A terrifying amount of rune lines exploded forth in front of him. He instinctively dodged aside, but he was still too slow. Fortunately, the two suns had been in front of him, forcing the rune lines to strike them first. As a result, both the suns and Lu Yin himself were blasted out of the sea and into outer s.p.a.ce as they left the planet.

Lu Yin’s figure flashed and disappeared. Off in the distance, s.p.a.ce distorted as a spatial crack swept everything away.

He stared at Planet Fleabane in shock as Lan Si slowly floated up from the seabed. The Arbiter exchanged glances with Lu Yin and then raised a hand. “Vacuum Palm.”

As Lan Si spoke, Lu Yin saw rune lines converge around Lan Si’s palm that surpa.s.sed a power level of 250,000. They then pa.s.sed through the void and approached him. Lu Yin couldn’t even see a hint of a battle technique, and if not for the rune lines, he would have been struck without even knowing what had happened.

For the moment, the best that Lu Yin could do was attempt to use the rune lines to extrapolate the Vacuum Palm’s path. However, it was still exceptionally difficult to dodge them as they were moving too quickly.

His three grains of fatesand formed a clod of soil that moved to defend his body while Lu Yin raised both of his arms, reinforced himself with nine lined battle force, and also erupted with One Hundred Stacks.

When the Vacuum Palm arrived, Lu Yin was sent flying once again. The force was so tremendous that the three grains of fatesand were instantly forced back into his body while his nine lined battle force was warped. The One Hundred Stacks that he had channeled in both of his arms were forced back, and they instead damaged his own internal organs.

Plop!

Lu Yin spat out a mouthful of blood as his body flew 10,000 meters into s.p.a.ce. He had just withstood a single palm.

Countless people were stunned; what was this? Had Lan Si attacked?

n.o.body knew what had happened, no matter if they were from the Outerverse or the Innerverse. Everyone who was watching was unable to understand what they had just seen. Had Lan Si attacked?

Nightking Zhenwu stared at his screen gravely. Lu Yin definitely was not weak, and he had even held his own against Lan Si before. During their exchanges, he had even managed to gain the upper hand and smack Lan Si into the sea. So what exactly had Lan Si done to leave Lu Yin in such a miserable condition? His nine lined battle force, Overlaying Stacks Path, and even his fatesand had been unable to stop this attack.

n.o.body could understand what they had witnessed.

Even the people from G.o.ds’ Origin were unable to see rune lines through the screen, so they were also unable to understand what Lan Si had just done. Was this the Arbiter’s innate gift? Or was it a battle technique?

At this moment, the strength of the Ten Arbiters had been fully revealed.

Lan Si’s invisible palm had beaten Lu Yin and sent him flying.
