Chapter 1078: Nightking Planet’s Doomsday

Lu Yin took a deep breath, and his conversation with Wang Wen reappeared in his head.

“Do you have the means to go against a super powerhouse with a power level of 1,000,000?”

Lu Yin’s answer had been “yes.” He had given such an answer because of Big Sis’s promise, and Big Sis’s promise was the same as Highsage Leon’s promise.

“Do you dare to do anything? Hahaha! Rest assured, I will never retract my accusations, and you will never qualify to compete at the Astral Tower! I won’t give you the opportunity to do so! Hahaha!” Nightking Zhenwu laughed maniacally.

Lu Yin frowned, and a hand swept down to slap the Nightking. “Shut up.”

Nightking Zhenwu’s mouth filled with blood, and he spat it out. The marks of five fingers had appeared on his face, and his expression grew venomous. “Sooner or later, I’ll have you disappear without even a corpse remaining behind. Just wait!”

In outer space, above Nightking Planet, Highsage Leon was puzzled. “What exactly have you cultivated? How can you actually absorb a living person?”

Nightking Dijiang calmly said, “Take your people out of Daynight Flowzone, immediately.”

Highsage Leon put his tyrant blade away. “I probably won’t be able to beat you, but someone else can.”

Suddenly, he shouted, “Senior, Junior is being bullied!”

His loud voice reverberated throughout space, startling the various people watching.

With that, another tremendous bellow rang out, startling the crowd once more. “Who dares to bully my junior? Get over here and die!” A muscular, middle-aged man appeared as the voice echoed about, and he immediately glared at Nightking Dijiang. A terrifying aura warped the nearby space, as not even space could endure this man’s presence.

With his appearance, ripples could be seen spreading out across more than the surrounding region—they were actually distorting the entire Daynight Flowzone.

Everyone was overwhelmed, as an unknown powerhouse had just appeared.

Nightking Dijiang’s pupils shrank, as he had not noticed this person’s presence at all.

“Who dares to bully my junior?” the middle-aged man barked. He slapped a hand onto Highsage Leon’s shoulder despite clearly being much shorter than Highsage Leon. However, this one hand was powerful enough to almost flip Highsage Leon over. “Junior, point that person out to Senior. Who dares to bully you?”

Highsage Leon grimaced. “That hurts, Senior. Be more gentle, it hurts.”

The middle-aged man pulled his hand back, but he unhappily said, “Such soft skin and tender flesh. So what if I tap you once?”

Highsage Leon was left speechless. “Senior, your power level is over 900,000, and any random pat that you give could kill someone.”

The middle-aged man blinked. “Oh, right. I forgot about that. Hahaha, my power level did break through 900,000! Hahaha.”

Highsage Leon pursed his lips, but he no longer spoke.

Across from the two men, Nightking Dijiang’s eyelids twitched—broke through a power level of 900,000?

“May I ask who you might be? Why are you interfering in my Daynight clan’s affairs?” Nightking Dijiang gloomily asked.

The middle-aged man raised his head. “I am Highsage Shenwei, Highsage Leon’s senior. Why did you bully my junior?”

Nightking Dijiang seemed a bit wary. The name Highsage was clearly some sort of title rather than a familial surname. However, it represented a power that was known as Eversky Island.

Anybody who left Eversky Island would change their surname to Highsage.

This was why Nightking Dijiang had always remained cautious of Highsage Leon. Even if the patriarch had merged with the elders’ emissary and bolstered his power level to above 800,000, he still did not want to act against Highsage Leon, and it was precisely because the patriarch was wary of Eversky Island, which stood behind Highsage Leon. Who could have known that the attackers would bring out people from Eversky Island?

“So it’s an expert from Eversky Island. Please, excuse my disrespect,” Nightking Dijiang courteously replied.

Eversky Island lay within the Neoverse, and although the patriarch did not know exactly where it stood within the Neoverse, he did know one thing: nobody was willing to provoke Eversky Island. Even powers that were on a similar level within the Neoverse, such as the Cosmic Sect, were unwilling to upset Eversky Island, as the island was rather unnatural.

Nightking Dijiang spoke quite courteously, and Highsage Shenwei was very satisfied. “That’s right. Your attitude seems to be alright, and you have some manners.”

Next to the middle-aged man, Highsage Leon quietly muttered, “Senior, he’s just putting on a front. Don’t forget, he’s the Nightking clan’s patriarch. A Nightking! Have you forgotten?”

Highsage Shenwei’s brows rose. “A Nightking? Right, that family isn’t very reasonable to talk with.”

He then suddenly barked, “Did you bully my junior?”

Nightking Dijiang calmly answered, “Leon’s Armada attacked my Daynight Flowzone, and my Daynight clan has only acted in self-defense thus far.”

Highsage Shenwei snorted and looked around. “The way things are looking, this doesn’t seem much like self-defense, but rather like excessive self-defense.”

Highsage Leon bellowed, “That’s right! Senior, teach him a lesson! He nearly crippled Junior!”

Nightking Dijiang grew furious. He was the patriarch of the Daynight clan, and they had dominated both the Innerverse and the Outerverse with nobody daring to scold him. He had never encountered such a humiliation before, but he was forced to act submissively before an ultimate powerhouse from the Neoverse. “I have not even taken action.”

Highsage Leon’s brows rose. “The moment you moved, I would have been crippled.”

Highsage Shenwei nodded. “Makes sense.”

Nightking Dijiang’s eye twitched, as these two bastards were clearly stirring up trouble for no good reason. “Today’s matter was instigated by Leon’s Armada, and they have initiated numerous great battles throughout my Daynight Flowzone. Although my Daynight clan is not a great power of the Neoverse, we are still recognized as a Family of Honor by the Hall of Honor. Despite us having no powerful individuals within the clan, we will not go down without a struggle or tolerate such humiliation. When the Third Nightking returns, this matter will definitely be brought back up.”

Highsage Shenwei was shocked. “The Third Nightking? He isn’t dead?”

Nightking Dijiang replied in a low voice, “Of course not, and he’ll return shortly.”

Highsage Shenwei looked over at Highsage Leon. “If the Third Nightking returns, I might not be able to beat him.”

“Then what should we do?” Highsage Leon asked.

Highsage Shenwei thought about it before replying, “We’ll pull Grand Senior out and have him make some trouble. As long as he steps out, we won’t have to be afraid even if the First Nightking revives, let alone the Third Nightking.”

Highsage Leon nodded. “That’s true, we will need to ask Grand Senior to come out.”

Nightking Dijiang listened to the conversation of the two men, and his skin started to crawl. They still had a Grand Senior? Someone who was not even afraid of the First Nightking? Exactly what kind of freaks was Eversky Island nurturing?

Highsage Shenwei looked back at Nightking Dijiang and impatiently said, “That should have been your worst threat, so now what? Should we play for a bit?”

Nightking Dijiang helplessly stared at Highsage Shenwei and Highsage Leon. “What exactly is it that you want? Get to the point.”

Highsage Shenwei looked over at Highsage Leon.

Highsage Leon pointed down at Nightking Planet. “Don’t interfere in their battle, regardless of their life or death.”

Nightking Dijiang stared at Highsage Leon. “My Daynight clan is willing to pay any price for Nightking Zhenwu’s life.”

Highsage Leon grew arrogant. “Does my Leon’s Armada lack something that you can provide? If we want it, won’t we just take it?”

Highsage Shenwei glared at Highsage Leon. “Don’t speak so rudely! You make it sound as if everyone who comes from my Eversky Island is some kind of convict who only knows how to loot and pillage.”

Highsage Leon smiled in embarrassment.

Highsage Shenwei continued, “It’s called borrowing.”

Nightking Dijiang grew exasperated, as these two powerhouses were clearly both rascals. He reluctantly said, “There’s no need for some fight between children to escalate to the point where things cannot be settled amicably. Zhenwu is already crippled.”

Highsage Leon waved a hand. “I’ve already said my condition—don’t interfere in their battle. No matter who lives or dies, everything should be decided by them.”

Nightking Dijiang frowned as he looked down at Nightking Planet and at Lu Yin.

On Nightking Planet, both Lu Yin and Nightking Zhenwu had heard Highsage Leon’s words. Zhenwu was petrified, and his face turned deathly white. “Patriarch, save me! Patriarch, he’ll definitely kill me! Save me, Patriarch!”

Lu Yin sent Nightking Zhenwu flying with a kick and allowed him to crash down to the ground. Half of his body sank into the magma, and his eyes went dull as one scene after another replayed itself in Lu Yin’s mind.

From the moment Nightking Qingyu had first appeared during Earth’s apocalypse, Lu Yin had gradually learned of the Daynight clan, and of the Daynight clan’s king clans. When he had first entered the stone of inheritance, he had already seen Nightking Zhenwu’s mighty name as well as his figure towering high above. Lu Yin had never thought that, on this day, twelve years later, he would be able to tread over this person.

Nightking Zhenwu was the hope of the Nightking bloodline, and he was a lofty existence as one of the Ten Arbiters. He was also a peerless powerhouse, and a single sentence from him was enough to destroy several of the Outerverse’s weaves, and another one had been able to condemn Lu Yin without any hope of reprieve.

Just one sentence from Zhenwu had forced Lu Yin to do everything in his power to protect himself and shifted his attitude to that of someone always thinking of a method to survive.

Lu Yin realized that he had luckily encountered enough opportunities; otherwise, he would have died many years ago.

The Daynight clan had been causing problems for Lu Yin from the very beginning, and Nightking Zhenwu’s name had never disappeared from Lu Yin’s mind, not even when the Innerverse and Outerverse had been separated. Nightking Zhenwu’s shadow had never left Lu Yin.

During the battle atop the Champions’ Stage in the Innerverse, Lu Yin had actually died at Nightking Zhenwu’s hands. However, Lu Yin’s defeat at that time had set the foundation for his current victory.

Lu Yin looked up and screamed at the sky, venting the frustrations of many years of oppression. This scream caused volcanoes to erupt and shoot countless rocks into the sky where they exploded into dust. A powerful shockwave swept though the planet’s atmosphere, reaching outer space.

In the distance, Zhuo Daynight smiled. She had never smiled with such happiness before, and although her mouth was filled with blood, she still wanted to smile. Even if her head was covered with white hair, even if her mind was about to collapse, she still wanted to laugh. She wanted to laugh at the Nightking clan’s unbelievable fall from glory, and also at the unimaginable tragedy that had just struck them.

Even further away, Ellen Gale had already died. If she had not died, then Nightking Zhenwu would have been able to transfer his injuries to her body.

She had been a respectable woman; if she had not had the Fireplume Tribe start singing a funeral dirge and led the last of her tribe into committing suicide, the battle would not have ended so easily. She had forced herself to live entirely for this moment. She had lived to sing her burial song to send Zhenwu off along with herself.

Battles were being fought everywhere on Nightking Planet between the members of the Dayking and Nightking bloodlines.

Quite a few members of the Nightking clan desperately charged at Lu Yin in hopes of rescuing Nightking Zhenwu. However, they all faced persistent resistance from the Dayking clan. Although the two bloodlines were from the same clan, the hatred between them ran deeper than any mortal feud.

Nightking Planet was quivering as the ground cracked and split apart. The huge planet was still suffering repercussions from various intense battles.

Evernight City and Everbright City had both collapsed long ago.

The First Nightking’s statue had shattered, and the pieces had fallen into the magma.

The entire Night Watch Pagoda had been buried deep underground.

Lu Yin had personally brought an apocalypse upon Nightking Planet, just like how Nightking Qingyu had brought doomsday to Earth. Lu Yin had repaid the injury an eye for an eye.

Lu Yin approached Nightking Zhenwu, step by step, and looked down at him.

Nightking Zhenwu was clearly unable to accept his fate, and he glared at Lu Yin while struggling to get up. However, Zhenwu’s body had been crippled long ago, and the injuries that he had suffered from Lu Yin’s Vacuum Palm were not wounds that could be easily recovered.

“I want to announce my victory, but for some reason, I feel like you are quite pitiful,” Lu Yin spoke, and there was a trace of pity in his eyes as he looked at Nightking Zhenwu. This person had always existed in such a high and mighty place while carrying the dreams of his entire clan. However, his personality was too dark, which had led to him being unable to control his emotions. Although Zhenwu’s power level had surpassed Lan Si, he actually was not able to match up to Lan Si.
