Chapter 1169: Anointing A Champion
At the same time that Ku Lei’s lightning was rampaging through the Giant Emperor’s body, Lu Yin repeatedly unleashed Vacuum Palms at the Giant Emperor\'s neck. Under the barrage of attacks, the Giant Emperor\'s neck was severely wounded, and the Giant Emperor was feeling extremely stifled and unable to breathe.
Every time the Giant Emperor tried to retaliate, another burst of lightning would be released, slowing his movements.
Lu Yin paused for a moment and could not stop himself from looking over at Hui Santong. This guy had actually instantly grasped everyone\'s techniques and given out commands that gave them the upper hand in the battle. Was this what the Hui family’s inheritor was capable of? Brother Huikong’s descendents seem to be pretty decent. Should we acknowledge each other?
Hui Santong took another sip of water, and his eyes grew brighter.
Lu Yin\'s heart trembled as he thought of something. He then looked at Hui Santong\'s pot of water, his eyes burning fervently.
"What are you looking at? Attack!" Hui Santong shouted at Lu Yin as he raised a hand of his own. A golden meteor smashed down onto the Giant Emperor\'s head, but this attack was nearly useless against the Giant Emperor.
Lu Yin did not have any time to think about it any further, and he raised a hand to unleash another Vacuum Palm.
The palm shockwave swept past Lei Nü and struck the Giant Emperor’s neck.
Lei Nü was taken aback. Although she had not come into direct contact with the shockwave, she could still tell how terrifying that attack was as it passed by her. She could not help but take another look at Lu Yin. After this man had broken through to the Hunter realm, his strength had completely transformed. It was no wonder why Shang Qing thought so highly of Lu Yin, and Lu Yin’s victory over Yōu Qin in the Mountain and Seas Zone clearly had not been a fluke.
The Giant Emperor had been able to suppress the youths at the beginning, but at this moment, he was the one being suppressed. Although they were heavily relying on their various power vessels, the humans had managed to reverse the situation.
Finally, after Xia Jiuyou launched another third blade of his Triple Blade Will, a huge gash opened up on the Giant Emperor\'s neck.
As all of the attacks landed on the Giant Emperor, he finally was unable to endure the barrage, and he collapsed, half kneeling on the ground. Even now, his massive eyes glared at his attackers with hatred.
Although he could not speak, the humans were all able to see his resignation.
Lightning flashed once again.
Lu Yin looked down at the Giant Emperor\'s thigh, where Ku Lei was like a poison. If not for him, the wound on the giant’s leg would have had little to no effect on the Giant Emperor. It was all because of Ku Lei that the Giant Emperor had been unable to block the flurry of attacks.
The Giant Emperor abruptly raised his head and released a shocking roar, which caused horns to blare off in the distance.
Hui Santong\'s expression changed. "Oh no, he\'s summoning the other giants! Quickly, kill the Giant Emperor!"
As soon as he spoke, everyone moved. Lu Yin\'s nine lined battle force flared brightly as he gradually clenched a fist. He then raised both of his hands and violently lashed out.
The Giant Emperor wanted to escape, and he tried to move his body away. However, another flash of lightning paralyzed his body and stopped him in his tracks. At the same time, Lei Nü used Discipline to reflect her injuries onto the Giant Emperor, causing him to vomit blood for the first time. The Giant Emperor growled as he endured the heavy attacks before trying to move again.
"Secret art: Banishment!" Lei Nü shouted, forcing the Giant Emperor several steps back. In response, the giant swung his arm, sending Shu Jing flying with a bang.
Lu Yin set up the Teleportation Formation so that, after the Giant Emperor moved, he was shifted around by the sourcebox array and returned to his original position.
Off in the distance, many guardian giants waddled out of their stone huts and started making their way toward the blood pool.
The Giant Emperor roared, and the crowd of guardian giants roared back in unison before rushing forward.
As Lu Yin turned around to face the incoming horde, he retracted his domain and formed a forcefield shaped like an enormous tree that enveloped the surrounding area.
Numerous guardian giants started smashing against the forcefield.
Xia Jiuyou looked extremely solemn as he took out a blade and unleashed the third blade of his family’s battle technique again. At the same time, Xie Xiaoxian borrowed the powers of the third blade for herself and launched an attack at Silver.
The Giant Emperor and Silver simultaneously faced the threat of the third will blade.
Silver dodged the attack. So far, he still had not started fighting seriously yet, and even atop the golden platform within the Mountain and Seas Zone, he had only been playing around.
The Giant Emperor was not as lucky, as Ku Lei’s lightning was still paralyzing him. As a result, his wounded neck was struck yet again. This time, the blade managed to cut a third of the way through the bone in the giant’s neck, snapping the head to the side. Lu Yin took advantage of this opportunity to lift a hand and pointed a finger at the Giant Emperor: Seventh Bro Finger.
Seventh Bro Finger was still Lu Yin\'s strongest attack after breaking through. As he pointed at the giant, his forcefield shaped like a tree disintegrated and merged with the power contained within his finger, the Overlaying Stacks Path, and with his newly improved strength as a Hunter. The energy from this finger drilled a hole through the Giant Emperor\'s neck and forced out a hint of dark blood that was colored differently than the rest of the blood flowing from the Giant Emperor’s wounds.
This dark blood fell into the blood pool, and it did not disperse into the blood. Rather, it floated in it instead.
The Giant Emperor\'s eyes grew dull, and he slowly knelt down, his knees causing the earth to tremble.
Everyone stared at the Giant Emperor, but he was deader than dead. He had not been able to escape.
Lu Yin\'s figure flashed and he appeared atop the Giant Emperor\'s shoulders. With his back to the crowd, he took out his Champion\'s Stage and muttered, "By my name, I appoint you as my champion."
As his words fell, a gust of wind blew past, and a brand of the Giant Emperor appeared on the Champion\'s Stage. The image was then engraved onto the stage in exquisite detail.
Lu Yin was elated.
At this moment, numerous guardian giants angrily rushed inside the fence from all directions and punched at the humans.
Hui Santong stared at the pool of blood before quickly leaping in, and the rest of the humans immediately followed behind him as well.
Lu Yin pursed his lips, and his gaze swept over Silver and Beast before he turned around to leave.
There was no time for Silver to take out Shaman God\'s doll, as there were quite a few guardian giants blocking his path to Lu Yin. Silver felt quite exasperated.
"Captain, good luck," he said before leaving.
The guardian giants let out angry roars; they were clearly lamenting the death of the Giant Emperor.
Lu Yin looked back. He was secretly lamenting as well, but at the same time, he was also feeling a bit excited. If he could take all of these guardian giants back to the Great Yu Empire, then he might have enough power to fight against factions from the Innerverse.
Wait, this was Progenitor Chen’s Mausoleum. Did that mean that all of the guardian giants here actually belonged to the Seven Courts?
Once Lu Yin was far away enough from the blood pool, he surveyed his surroundings, only to discover that he was lost.
The truth was that he knew nothing about Progenitor Chen’s Mausoleum as Silver had always been the one leading the way. This place was so massive that Lu Yin might not be able to find anything good.
Progenitor Chen’s Mausoleum was only open for a limited amount of time, and Lu Yin did not want to leave empty-handed. Still, he had already received tremendous benefits from this visit.
Lu Yin remembered seeing Hui Santong drink a bit of water, and Lu Yin was confident that a Root of Intelligence had been steeped in the water. He wanted some of that water for himself, so he decided to wait for Hui Santong.
Before long, Xia Jiuyou and the others emerged from the pool, each and every one of them radiating a murderous aura.
Ku Lei was particularly heated. "I\'m going to skin Lu Yin alive if I see him again."
Xie Xiaoxian rolled her eyes. "You can\'t even beat him."
Ku Lei glared at Xie Xiaoxian and simply grunted without speaking.
Numerous guardian giants saw the humans around and raised their hammers to smash them.
The crowd scattered, and everyone left.
Off in the distance, Lu Yin\'s eyes lit up as he moved out.
He saw lightning flash off in the distance, and he knew that Ku Lei had to be there.
Lu Yin also saw Ce Jiu; the immovable chessboard underneath the young man’s feet was rather eye-grabbing.
Soon, Lu Yin also saw a river carrying Yōu Qin away.
Their power vessels were truly amazing.
Finally, he saw Hui Santong, and there was a golden light that shone brightly at the bottom of his feet.
Hmm? Behind Hui San Tong was… Lei Nü?
At this moment, Hui Santong was feeling quite frustrated, and he turned around. "Why are you still following me?"
Lei Nü did not say a single word and simply continued to follow Hui Santong.
He was quite frustrated, as Lei Nü was basically treating him as her tour guide, but there was no way he would stop searching the tomb just because Lei Nü was following along behind him.
How can I get rid of this woman? Hui Santong thought, and he could not resist taking a sip of water.
"Sorry, but I\'m rather thirsty. Can I have a sip too?" A voice spoke up from nearby.
An incredulous look appeared on Hui Santong’s face. How had he actually failed to notice someone so close to him? Was it Lu Yin?
Lei Nü was also unable to find Lu Yin, and her eyes narrowed.
This person was rather powerful.
Lu Yin looked at Hui Santong with a faint smile. "I\'ll have a sip of that water."
Hui Santong\'s expression darkened. "Brother Lu, it\'s not a good habit to borrow a knife to kill."
Lu Yin shrugged. “I\'m also helping the Seven Courts, because the next time your inheritors visit this place, they won\'t meet up with that Giant Emperor, will they?"
Hui Santong put away his pot of water "I told you—if you lied to us, then we’ll deal with you the same way we dealt with the Giant Emperor."
Lu Yin was helpless. "Brother Hui, the fact is that you and I are closer than anyone else here. If we want to talk about specifics, you should be calling me ‘ancestor.’"
Hui San Tong grew furious. "Lu Yin, your words are extremely insulting! This is Progenitor Chen’s Mausoleum and outside are the Seven Courts. My Hui family’s experts are here."
Lu Yin quickly explained, "Brother Hui, listen to me. When the Sixth Mainland invaded, and after Nightking Zhenwu almost killed me, I went to the Technocracy. There, I met someone who I became fast friends and then brothers with. That person is called Hui Kong."
Hui San Tong pupils shrank, and his voice involuntarily turned hoarse. "Who?"
"Hui Kong." Lu Yin laughed.
Hui Santong stared at Lu Yin intently. "Lu Yin, I hope that you\'re not joking. Are you sure you\'re telling the truth? If you lie to me, I swear that my Hui family will hunt you down and kill you."
Lu Yin seriously answered, "It\'s true. Hui Kong told me to call him Big Brother, and he also said that if something happens to me, Lu Yin, in the future, he will definitely have his children and grandchildren help me get revenge. At that time, Big Brother Hui Kong didn\'t tell me that he came from the Seven Courts’ Hui family. Bur from what I could tell, judging by the strength that he possesses, he could only come from the Hui family."
Hui Santong inhaled sharply and approached Lu Yin. "Did you really see Ancestor Hui Kong? Where is he?"
"As I said, the Technocracy."
"Why is he there? How long has he been there for?"
"He said that he’s there to find the truth," Lu Yin said.
Hui Santong\'s expression changed yet again. If he had been a bit uncertain before, then this answer had confirmed that Lu Yin had truly met the Hui family’s old ancestor.
Lei Nü stared at Lu Yin in amazement. Was this person making things up, or was it true? Just now, Lu Yin had managed to hoodwink the entire group into helping him deal with the Giant Emperor by using the irresistible temptation of Progenitor Chen\'s corpse, and now, Lu Yin was able to pacify Hui Santong. This was Hui Santong, someone from the Hui family. Tricking the Hui family’s inheritor twice in a row was not something that just anyone could do. Even if one used deceit, the story had to be nearly perfect. It was no wonder that Lu Yin had managed to unite the Outerverse.
Lu Yin did not make a sound, and instead, he just looked around, especially back towards the blood pool. Without the Giant Emperor, the guardian giants were all just bumbling about.
Giants might look like large humans, but they were actually savage creatures that were more similar to beasts than humans. Lu Yin still had not forgotten what he had seen on Gigastar Planet, when those giants had eaten humans.
Lu Yin had not hesitated to kill the Giant Emperor because the Giant Emperor definitely would have killed Lu Yin even if Lu Yin stayed passive.
Now that the Giant Emperor was dead and the guardian giants had fallen into chaos, the huge city walls were meaningless.
Just as Lu Yin’s thoughts reached this point, there was a loud sound in the distance. A corner of the city wall had collapsed, revealing a hole in the wall. Whether this had been done by a giant outside or inside the walls was something that Lu Yin did not care about.
