Chapter 1110: Confronting Ku Lei
Shamrock Enterprises’ businesses were spread throughout the entire universe whereas Lu Yin had united the Outerverse and could be considered the king of the Outerverse. As the young master of Shamrock Enterprises, Little Leaf King was definitely familiar with Lu Yin’s name. Between Lu Yin’s battle with Lan Si and Nightking Zhenwu, Little Leaf King had seen them both.
Little Leaf King’s deepest impression of Lu Yin was of his various battle techniques as well as his absurd rate of progression.
Whenever Lu Yin made an appearance, it was as though he had transformed.
Even further away, Xia Tian half-knelt on the ground. He was currently surrounded by several Neoverse cultivators.
“You’re the one on the top of the so-called Top 100 Rankings? How weak! A backwards place like the Innerverse can’t produce any real powerhouses, and yet you dare to compete with us for the Astral Tower’s inheritance? Scram!” someone barked.
“Outsiders will never understand what it means to be the center of the Human Domain.”
Xia Tian held his chest and struggled to lift his head. If he had not been unexpectedly attacked by that person from Burial Garden, how would he have been so defeated so easily? Normally, these people would not be able to defeat him even if they joined forces.
“Scram! Otherwise, we’ll send you on your way.”
There was a thump as Xia Tian was kicked away, and he rolled off of the mountain.
A few others wanted to make a move as well, but Xia Jiuyou suddenly descended from the sky and smiled at the small group.
Their expressions changed, and they slowly backed up.
Xia Jiuyou walked over to Xia Tian. “Things are becoming more and more interesting.”
Xia Tian looked up and smiled bitterly. “I heard you were beaten rather badly.”
Xia Jiuyou shrugged, “My skills cannot compare to the others’, so there’s no choice. Right, Lu Yin’s here, and he’s already fought with Shang Qing.”
Xia Tian spat out a mouthful of blood. “I really admire him.”
Xia Jiuyou laughed. “Me too.”
***
Lu Yin had entered the Mountain and Seas Zone to find Black and White. By now, almost everyone in Mountain and Seas Zone had heard of the two brats, and quite a few had been harassed by the twins. However, the person whom they had picked on the most was still Ku Lei.
Nobody knew what Black and White had done to him, but he constantly swore that he would tear their mouths off.
Lu Yin started to get a bit anxious; even if Black and White were extremely fast, Ku Lei was still the heir of the Seven Courts’ Ku family, and he clearly was not a simple adversary. Lu Yin was worried that the twins would reveal a moment of carelessness.
They had become quite well-known in the Mountain and Seas Zone, but very few people had truly seen the twins due to their exceptional speed.
It was difficult for Lu Yin to find the girls, but fortunately, he found Ku Lei instead.
At this moment, he represented the greatest threat towards Black and White.
Lightning streaked through the sky, and Ku Lei had a sullen look. He had been searching for Black and White for a long time; even if they were from Eversky Island, he still had to teach them a lesson. As long as he did not end anyone’s life, nobody would be able to criticize him for any actions taken during the Astral Tower contest.
“Stupid brats, you better not let me find you,” Ku Lei mumbled to himself as he searched for Black and White while simultaneously avoiding Shang Qing and Lei Nü. Ku Lei was very cautious of the Hall of Honor’s first two Honor Chosens.
Lu Yin looked up from right below Ku Lei, and his eyes flashed. He then took a light step to ascend to the sky and block Ku Lei’s path. “Are you the Ku family’s heir?”
Ku Lei stared at Lu Yin in discontent. “Who are you?”
Lu Yin’s eyes grew sharp. “I’m from Eversky Island.”
Ku Lei’s eyes went wide, and he instantly released an attack, not sparing any time with nonsense.
Lightning tore through the void. This attack possessed a power level of more than 200,000, and it caused the Mountain and Seas Zone’s entire continent to tremble, drawing a lot of attention to their location.
“Ku Lei’s fighting someone again. He really has a bad temper.”
“But he’s also very strong. It’s best to keep our distance so that we don’t get caught up in his lightning.”
…
Lu Yin stood tall in the sky as the lightning formed a massive beast that welcomed him with a snarl. This was an exceptionally cruel attack. As the Ku family’s heir, Ku Lei was a Hunter, and the power of his lightning attacks were known throughout the Neoverse.
Lu Yin raised a hand and struck out with a palm that had stars all over it: Cosmic Palm.
520 stars swirled through the sky, though only a few people could see them.
Ku Lei frowned. “Cosmic Palm? Are you from the Cosmic Sect or Eversky Island?”
“Take a guess,” Lu Yin growled as the stars exploded. His 520 stars had even surpassed Mu Ziying’s accomplishments, and out of all of the Cosmic Sect’s youths, Lu Yin was second only to Qiu Shi. Even though Ku Lei was very conceited, he did not dare to underestimate this attack.
The power of these exploding stars dispersed the lightning, and Ku Lei groaned as his nine lined battle force shot high into the sky towards Lu Yin. The lightning formed a halberd that thrust forward while Ku Lei’s nine lined battle force reinforced it. The power behind this halberd caused it to penetrate the void and cleave the sky apart, stunning many cultivators.
Lu Yin cocked his head and dodged the halberd before reaching out to grab it.
Ku Lei sneered. “You’re asking for it!”
His halberd was formed from his lightning, and it had also been wrapped in his nine lined battle force to perfectly display his full strength. Also, at this time, another blade appeared from the center of the halberd, slicing downwards.
Lu Yin’s left hand held the lightning halberd while he lifted his right hand. His hands were also wrapped with nine lined battle force, and he gently tapped out with a single finger. There was an explosion as the lightning blade shattered, causing a shockwave to sweep out and slam into Ku Lei. An excruciating pain rang out in his shoulder when Ku Lei was struck, and he instantly released his grip and retreated several steps backwards.
Lu Yin continued to move forward with his hand raised, once again using the Cosmic Palm.
Ku Lei’s expression slightly changed, and his star energy moved out and covered his entire body. It ultimately dissipated into a formless spirit that seemed to ripple and expand outwards, filling Lu Yin with the desire to stop attacking, and at the same moment, a finger tapped out: Finger Tap.
Lu Yin similarly raised a finger and tapped out with it: Dream Finger.
The two fingers struck each other in midair, and the resulting shockwave tore through the void and shook the ground so hard that the entire area was left trembling.
Ku Lei was in complete disbelief. His Ku family’s ultimate technique, Finger Tap, rarely clashed with other finger techniques. When it was combined with the Ku family’s battle technique, it was difficult for any other finger technique to match up to Finger Tap no matter how powerful the opponent might be, especially since the opponent might not even be able to act. However, Lu Yin had apparently been well prepared, as not only had the power of his finger attack overpowered Ku Lei’s, but Lu Yin was also not even influenced by the Finger Tap.
There was another thump as Ku Lei’s finger broke; not even his nine lined battle force could endure this attack. Lu Yin took this opportunity to lash out with another finger, and he struck Ku Lei’s right shoulder, piercing through it and leaving a bleeding hold behind.
Ku Lei fell back 1,000 meters. His left shoulder was still numb from the shockwave while his right shoulder had been injured by the finger. Both of his arms powerlessly hung limp at his sides as he stared at Lu Yin in shock. “Who the hell are you?”
Lu Yin pulled back his hand as a smile crept across his face. “Lu Yin.”
During his battle with Lan Si, he had only just stepped onto this level, but after defeating Nightking Zhenwu, Lu Yin had reached the peak of this level.
Not only had the Root of Intelligence allowed him to comprehend the Ce Secret Art, but it had also raised his comprehension of the Overlaying Stacks Path to the limit, which complemented both his nine lined battle force and domain. His foundation was solid enough for him to stand on the same level as the heirs from the top powers and even vaguely surpass them.
Ku Lei did not seem to have any advantage when going up against Lu Yin, as his nine lined battle force, innate gift of lightning, and even his Finger Tap were all ineffective.
“Lu Yin?” Ku Lei involuntarily cried out as he stared in disbelief. “You’re Lu Yin?”
Lu Yin felt confused. “That’s a very strong reaction. Have you heard of me before?”
Ku Lei gritted his teeth. When the Ten Arbiters had first entered the Mountain and Seas Zone, in order to suppress Lan Si, Ku Lei had promised to help the Arbiter get revenge, and he had even said that he would beat Lu Yin like a dog until he knelt on the ground. But at this moment, when the actual person appeared in front of him, the one being pathetically beaten was not Lu Yin, but rather Ku Lei, which left him humiliated.
“Did Lan Si tell you?” Ku Lei gritted his teeth and asked.
Lu Yin felt lost. “What does this have to do with Lan Si?”
Ku Lei frowned. “Then why were you looking for me?”
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back. “I’m Eversky Island’s nominal disciple, and I heard that you’ve been causing trouble for the people of my Eversky Island. Thus, I came to find you.”
Ku Lei finally processed what Lu Yin said and realized that Lu Yin had just called himself a nominal disciple from Eversky Island.
“Are you looking down on my Eversky Island?” Lu Yin asked arrogantly.
Ku Lei looked crestfallen. “You’re standing up for those two brats?”
“That’s right,” Lu Yin barked. He suddenly remembered when he had asked Highsage Leon for help and how Highsage Shenwei had taken action. By standing up for Black and White, Lu Yin had just been thrust into the role that Highsage Shenwei had played back then.
Ku Lei bellowed, “Your Eversky Island doesn’t have any sort of discipline—and those two brats’ mouths will be torn off sooner or later!”
“But it won’t be by you,” Lu Yin said as he stepped forward and unleashed Night Advent.
A wild spiritual force swept through the void like some sort of dark cloud that instantly flowed over Ku Lei.
Ku Lei was furious, as this was intolerable bullying. Those two brats had humiliated him, and now Lu Yin was actually standing up for them! When had Ku Lei ever been bullied by others in such a manner?
Lightning connected the sky and earth, and Ku Lei completely erupted. When he had fought against Shang Qing, he had left after one exchange because it had been clear that Shang Qing was extremely difficult to deal with, and at this moment, he felt that Lu Yin was similarly difficult to handle. However, Ku Lei did not want to leave. Lu Yin had completely enraged the Ku heir, so he intended to give this battle his all.
Ku Lei’s burst of strength left Lu Yin excited, as he would finally be able to seriously trade blows with one of the proud children of the Neoverse. He had long considered the heirs of the Court of Seven Names as his primary rivals, and Ku Lei had even mentioned this Ku heir to Lu Yin before. In Lu Yin’s mind, Ku Lei was his first opponent during this contest at the Astral Tower, as Shang Qing did not count.
Lightning tore through the spiritual force and filled the sky before covering the Mountain and Seas Zone’s continent.
Shang Qing looked up; who had forced Ku Lei to such an extreme?
Xia Jiuyou looked up with an extraordinary expression; was Ku Lei upset?
Yuhua Mavis, Little Leaf King, Wen Sansi, and the others also looked up, as they could feel the determination of Ku Lei fighting for his life.
Off in the distance, Black and White were speechless. “Is he using this terrifying lightning to deal with us? I’m afraid!”
“What are you afraid of? That stupid lightning guy still hasn’t found us. Let’s go! We’ll find Lu Yin, as he’s apparently arrived.”
“Right, he’s powerful, and that lightning dude hasn’t captured us yet. So, Lu Yin can capture him and help us fight the bad guys.”
…
The lightning completely erupted, and it eventually isolated a region. Ku Lei himself seemed to have transformed into lightning, and even his eyes were sparkling. As electric sparks flashed, he simply vanished only to reappear right behind Lu Yin before releasing a kick reinforced with nine lined battle force.
Lu Yin did not even turn around as he easily dodged the attack. He had activated the Cosmic Art long ago, so speed was pointless against him.
One hand grabbed hold of Ku Lei’s leg as Lu Yin threw his opponent away. In response, Ku Lei turned around and opened his mouth to release a howl, but lightning burst out. His voice filled the air, shocking the people watching.
Right after that, Ku Lei tapped out with a finger, using Finger Tap again. But unlike before, the power of his lightning was much more terrifying this time.
Lu Yin still looked calm, and he casually waved a hand: Vacuum Palm.
Thump!
Ku Lei was fast enough to defend himself, and he was still struck by the Vacuum Palm. His body was flung far into the distance. He opened his mouth and vomited out a bit of bile, as this palm strike had nearly forced his organs out.
Lu Yin had not held back in the slightest, and the power of this palm was comparable to what he had used against Nightking Zhenwu, as Ku Lei was also able to use nine lined battle force.
Ku Lei was smashed into the ground, and he violently coughed several times, releasing a trace of blood as he did so. The intense pain racking his abdomen rendered him speechless. That palm strike was absolutely terrifying, and the power behind it was too overwhelming, as not even his nine lined battle force had been able to hold up against it. In fact, if not for his nine lined battle force, the palm might have simply pierced straight through his body.
It turned out that Lu Yin was actually terrifying.
He definitely surpassed the Ten Arbiters, and he was actually approaching the same level as Shang Qing.
