Chapter 1309: Lu Yin VS. Wang Yi

At the top of Zenith Mountain, Lu Yin and Yao Xuan stood across from each other. Both of them had started fighting with their spiritual force.

When Yao Xuan made his move, Lu Yin’s Inception Array appeared, and he also started reciting all of the Stonewall Scriptures within his mind. As he did so, the scriptures seemed to appear behind him like an illusion, as if it were something from beyond the sky. What’s more, it prevented Yao Xuan from breaking through Lu Yin’s Daynight Praises.

The giant beast within the illusion smacked Yao Xuan towards a planet with a paw. The crown prince was smashed through the center of the planet and into outer space on the other side.

Yao Xuan was horrified; how was this possible? He had clearly broken free from this technique just a few moments ago.

His eyes flared, and his body disappeared as he took the illusory form of a huge celestial demon. He then opened his mouth and emitted a terrifying sound that destroyed the countless astral beasts before him. At this moment, Progenitor Wushang was Yao Xuan’s enemy.

Progenitor Wushang’s paw fell down once again, the Stonewall Scriptures still filling the area.

Yao Xuan was sent flying once again, and his injuries grew even worse.

Atop Zenith Mountain, Yao Xuan’s face went pale, and his body grew unstable. He almost collapsed while his entire body became somewhat transparent.

Inside of his transparent body, one could see a very small celestial demon. It was around as large as a dust mote, and it was quietly curled up in an out of the way location. It was very cute with its pocket-sized body. But at this moment, a trace of blood had appeared at the corner of the celestial demon’s mouth.

Outside Zenith Mountain, a rumbling sound spread out from atop the white skeleton. “The prince had been injured! How can that be? That human is actually able to injure the crown prince with his spirit force!”

“That human has already defeated Tian Hou, and he has produced many miracles.”

“He must be eliminated. Otherwise, he will become a great enemy for our Celestial Beast Empire.”

…

There was a bang as a shockwave shook the entire mountain top. Lu Yin and Yao Xuan simultaneously moved back, and as Yao Xuan retreated several meters, his body became more and more transparent, and his face grew ever more pale.

Lu Yin, on the other hand, pulled more than ten meters back. His mind had gone fuzzy, and blood was oozing from his ears.

The shockwave swept across the entire mountaintop, and everyone shook their heads. All the battles had momentarily paused, as everyone had been affected by the powerful clash of spiritual force attacks.

This reckless confrontation had injured both Lu Yin and Yao Xuan, but the Celestial Demon had ultimately come out on top. Both his techniques and power regarding spiritual force were superior to Lu Yin’s, leaving Lu Yin unable to measure up.

“You want to defeat me, but that’s impossible. Let’s see how you block this next attack,” Yao Xuan sneered as he stared at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. “It doesn’t matter. Spiritual force isn’t the only thing that can block your attacks, so go for it.”

Yao Xuan was stunned, and he was uncertain if Lu Yin was speaking the truth or merely bluffing. Yao Xuan still remembered the voices that he had heard while within the illusion, and those voices had scared him to his soul.

All of the other battles had been disrupted by Lu Yin and Yao Xuan’s fight. Then, Wang Yi, who had not made a single move so far, suddenly shot forward and pierced through Yao Xuan’s body. Despite being made from materialized spiritual force, Yao Xuan still coughed up blood that spilled onto the ground.

He had been severely injured by Wang Yi’s attack, and his body had actually been torn open. However, Wang Yi’s target had not been Yao Xuan, but rather Lu Yin.

Nearly a month had passed since the start of ZENITH, and during that entire time, Wang Yi had barely spoken a single word. No matter who he fought, he had been completely indifferent and ignored everything. Many of his opponents had not been unknown people, like Toolwielder, Yao Gu, and Wen Sansi. They were all famous throughout the universe, but they had all been defeated by Wang Yi. This was the first time that he had taken the initiative to attack, and it was also the first time that he looked excited.

The moment Wang Yi moved, the entire universe shifted their attention to him. He was the most mysterious existence in all of ZENITH. The Technocracy itself was synonymous with mystery, and Wang Yi’s strength made him even more riveting.

He had never been the first to attack, but when he finally did so, Yao Xuan had been instantly injured.

When Wang Yi moved, an unprecedented sense of danger filled Lu Yin’s mind. His scalp went numb. Without thinking, his nine lined battle force immediately covered his body, his pupils transformed into runes, and 726 revolving stars suddenly appeared around him. All the while, he quickly moved back.

The facts proved that Lu Yin had made the right decision, as Wang Yi directly appeared in front of Lu Yin the next moment. The stars revolved around Lu Yin, making everything visible, but even then, Lu Yin was still only able to see a blur. Only with both the Cosmic Art and Truesight was he barely able to avoid the attack. Then, Lu Yin’s hand rose up to release a Vacuum Palm.

Wang Yi’s eyes lit up. “Interesting, Bear Stalwart.”

Boom!

Two palms collided. The air churned, and the sky above Zenith Mountain shattered. This shockwave was no weaker than the one resulting from Lu Yin’s clash with Star Devourer.

Lu Yin was shocked; this person was actually able to block his full powered Vacuum Palm!?

The corners of Wang Yi’s mouth curved up. “When it comes to strength, you are not the strongest human.”

After that, he turned his body to the side and bent his right arm before letting out a low growl. “Four Arts: Bear Stalwart.”

There was a bang as another explosion rang out, and Lu Yin’s eyes went wide. His pupils flickered as he hurriedly weakened the runes of Wang Yi’s attack. This was an upgraded Vacuum Palm.

An even stronger shockwave swept out, encompassing the entire mountaintop. It was much stronger than before.

An incomparable suppression fell upon the peak of the mountain. Everyone looked up, and many people’s mouths fell open. The sky had shattered—this last collision had shattered the entire sky.

Nearby, Star Devourer was getting excited. This was the kind of battle that he dreamed of—pure strength.

On the other side, Yuhua Mavis’ pupils shrank; how was there actually another human who had the physical strength to match Lu Yin’s? This person was surnamed Wang?

Across from Yuhua Mavis, Wu Taibai gave Wang Yi a strange look. As expected, Wang Yi had used the Four Arts. He was from the Wang family.

Wang Yi smiled. “You’re pretty good, so don’t die.”

He then raised his left hand. His five fingers made a strange gesture that resulted in many vague marks reminiscent of a spider web covering Lu Yin. “Four Arts: Pearl.”

In an instant, all of Lu Yin’s strength disappeared. His scalp went numb; his power was gone? But before he could form another thought, his body was slammed into the ground by Wang Yi’s right hand while Lu Yin released his star energy to form a Channeling Diagram.

Countless channels appeared and shattered the ground before scattering off in all directions, looking like a series of exploding fireworks. The channels fell down from the top of Zenith Mountain, and many contestants hurriedly avoided them, terrified.

Lu Yin had assumed that, after comprehending the Channeling Diagram, all physical power would be practically useless against him, but he had been wrong. The reason why his Channeling Diagram could divert Star Devourer’s power was because Lu Yin had a nearly equal amount of strength, which allowed him to endure. But this time, his strength had mysteriously vanished all at once, and although his Channeling Diagram had appeared, it only managed to last for an instant before being overwhelmed by Wang Yi’s incredible power.

Wang Yi pressed a palm against Lu Yin’s chest. “All done? Let’s go again.”

The loss of strength had momentarily disoriented Lu Yin, but he had more than just physical strength at his disposal. For example, there was Daynight Praises.

Wang Yi was dragged into an unavoidable illusion, but just a moment later, he freed himself. Still, that moment was enough for Lu Yin to escape with the Ce secret technique, allowing him to move thousands of meters away.

Wang Yi slowly stood back up and glanced at his right hand before looking back over at Lu Yin. He then declared, “You really are worth beating.”

Lu Yin was completely stunned. With his current strength, he was confident that he could even challenge the ancient Progenitors with the same cultivation realm as him, which was why he was willing to go up against Shang Qing. Despite that, Wang Yi had repeatedly overpowered Lu Yin in just a few brief moments. Wang Yi had unimaginable speed and strength, and he also had some sort of ability that could banish all of Lu Yin’s physical strength—that unexplainable ability was not something that Lu Yin could cope with.

Lu Yin’s instincts had been right; Wang Yi really was one of the most powerful participants in ZENITH, and he was definitely far more dangerous than Yao Xuan.

When his strength returned, Lu Yin let out a sigh of relief. He had been afraid that it would take a long time for his strength to return, which would force him into a passive stance against Wang Yi.

The two had only fought for a moment, but that exchange had already shocked everyone, including the top powerhouses like Yuhua Mavis and Shang Qing.

They were both aware of Lu Yin’s strength, but they had just watched Lu Yin be completely suppressed by Wang Yi. The terror of this mysterious person was only being revealed at this moment. More importantly, Wang Yi had also just pierced through Yao Xuan’s body and severely injured the Celestial Demon.

“I’m curious. How did you cultivate to this level in this universe?” Wang Yi asked as he stared at Lu Yin in surprise.

Lu Yin’s heart skipped a beat. This universe? “What does that mean?”

Wang Yi did not elaborate. “Be careful. I’m about to attack again.”

After that, his body suddenly disappeared. This was not because he had shifted into the void, but rather because his speed was too fast. This was a pure speed that was even faster than a spacecraft.

The feeling from before returned. An astral chessboard appeared beneath Lu Yin’s feet, and he moved away. This time, he did not even try to get a clear look of Wang Yi’s movements. Last time, he had barely been able to see a blur, and that had been with both the Cosmic Art and Truesight.

Lu Yin was already very fast, but he had never tried to use the Ce Secret Art so quickly before. He pushed himself to move even faster than when he had fought against Yōu Qi and his Eleventh Sword. Despite Lu Yin’s speed, he was still caught by Wang Yi’s right hand. Lu Yin’s body appeared a hundred meters away in an empty section of the plaza. Right after that, the space beyond Zenith Mountain that was in front of Wang Yi’s attack suddenly split open, and the spatial tear swallowed many spaceships.

Several Enlighters fled in terror, but even they failed to escape.

Wang Yi’s attack had reaped many lives.

At the top of Zenith Mountain, Star Devourer was unlucky enough to have been struck by the attack. His body was halfway bisected, and his blood painted the mountaintop.

A bloody aura spread out as everyone else suddenly stopped fighting and turned around to look at Wang Yi in amazement.

Wang Yi let out a breath. He looked at Lu Yin, and the corners of his mouth curved up as a hint of bloodlust entered his eyes.

Lu Yin did not hesitate at all and immediately retaliated with a Vacuum Palm.

Wang Yi’s gaze grew sharp, and the Vacuum Palm swept past his body before releasing its power against Zenith Mountain. Lu Yin’s attack had missed.

Vacuum Palm was known to be an invisible attack, and even a top expert like Xia Jiuyou would struggle to detect it, making it nearly impossible to evade. Despite that, Wang Yi had easily dodged it. Then, he reappeared right in front of Lu Yin. “Four Arts: Celestial Blade.”

After he spoke, his entire body twisted in an unnatural manner, and his attack suddenly shifted. For no reason, he suddenly attacked in the direction of Zhi Yi and Qiu Shi.

Zhi Yi’s Sky Dipper was instantly torn through, and her body was cut in half. Qiu Shi was also not in a good shape. She had instinctively used Star Transference to swap places with Wen Sansi, but Wang Yi’s Celestial Blade had still opened up a huge, bloody, hole in her abdomen. Wen Sansi was even unluckier, as he had suddenly appeared right in front of the blade. But fortunately for him, in order to resist the attack that Lu Yin had diverted with his Channeling Diagram, Wen Sansi’s barrier had already been up.

Although Wang Yi’s Celestial Blade sliced through the barrier, it was still stalled for a moment, allowing Wen Sansi to dodge aside.

The Celestial Blade also sliced through the sky above Zenith Mountain, and just like before, the space above the mountain was shattered.

Outside Zenith Mountain, many of the spacecraft pulled back, no longer daring to be as close to the mountain as before. They felt that the battle there had made the surrounding area incredibly dangerous.

Everyone remained silent. Every time Wang Yi made a move, he seemed to be able to stun everyone speechless.

With a simple wave of his hand, he had split Zhi Yi in two, severely wounded Qiu Shi, and shattered Wen Sansi’s barrier. Wang Yi’s attack power was far beyond what most people could even comprehend.

Countless people were shocked; just how much of a freak was this person? Was he really a youth?
