The double-fletched arrow pierced the void, carrying Nightking Zhenwu’s courageous aura with it. This arrow represented his full glory.

Lu Yin looked up as his star energy converged over his right hand. He was a seventh cycle Cruiser, and his star energy was nearly equivalent to that of an Enlighter with a power level of 300,000. He poured all of his remaining star energy into the converging sun at once, and burning sunlight shot out before solidly slamming into the double-fletched arrow. At the same time, Truesight erased some of the double-fletched arrow’s runes. This maneuver had pushed Lu Yin to the limit.

There was an explosion, and the ground shattered as the square fractured. The void itself collapsed, and Nightking Planet even quivered slightly, which alarmed some of the older Nightking clan experts on Nightking Planet.

Nightking Zhenwu had never even considered the possibility of Lu Yin possessing such terrifying amounts of star energy, and nobody was aware that Lu Yin’s star energy had already reached the point where it could rival that of an Enlighter with a power level of 300,000. This was Lu Yin’s most powerful attack that he had ever released through a sun. When it was combined with Truesight’s ability to weaken opposing attack’s runes, the sun was just barely able to resist the double-fletched arrow.

Lu Yin’s figure flashed, and he slapped a palm at Nightking Zhenwu from a distance: Nine lined battle force, One Hundred Stacks, Six Hundredfold Spacerender Palm.

Nightking Zhenwu had never expected that Lu Yin would be able to retaliate in this situation. According to his understanding, Lu Yin should have been severely injured by the double-fletched arrow. Then, the Heart Seeker secret technique would snatch Lu Yin’s life away. Nightking Zhenwu’s current battle techniques were from a Progenitor’s inheritance, and not even the Daynight clan’s ultimate battle techniques could compare to these powerful moves. This attack had been his hidden trump card to deal with those freakish geniuses from the Neoverse, and it greatly surpassed the battle techniques that Lan Si had used. But even then, this attack had been stopped. At that moment, the Spacerender Palm descended and hit Zhenwu squarely in the chest.

Nightking Zhenwu spat out a mouthful of blood as his nine lined battle force warped. There was a mighty explosion, and the double-fletched arrow pierced through the burning sun and shot into the distance whereas the blazing sun exploded on the spot, erupting with a power level of 300,000. Evernight Square began breaking apart as star energy swept out in all directions. The First Nightking’s statue slowly crumbled.

Multiple figures arrived from the distance. “How brazen!”

They were the older powerhouses of the Nightking bloodline, and they raced to support the First Nightking’s statue.

Lu Yin ran straight at Nightking Zhenwu and tapped out with a finger: Dream Finger. The void congealed. Before coming to the Daynight Feast, Lu Yin had obsessively reviewed his previous battle with Nightking Zhenwu. As long as he could guard himself against the Heart Seeker secret technique, Lu Yin should be able to rely on his die to achieve victory, just as he had during his battle with Lan Si. Lu Yin’s innate gift was extremely powerful, and even if Nightking Zhenwu had his own powerful innate gift, it would be useless. All Lu Yin needed to do was hide within the Timestop Space. In there, not only could he restore his star energy and power level, but he could even improve his strength. This innate gift was basically cheating, and it was how Lu Yin was assured of his own victory.

Although Nightking Zhenwu’s arrow techniques were extremely intimidating, they were unable to surpass the mysterious power of Lu Yin’s die. Besides, Zhenwu’s defenses were not as fearsome as Lan Si’s.

At that moment, Lu Yin wanted to exchange blow for blow and do his best to severely injure Nightking Zhenwu. Of course, some luck was needed when it came to rolling the die, but that was the only variable in his plan. Still, even if there was a mishap, Lu Yin had a backup plan. Otherwise, there was no other way he would have traveled to Nightking Planet so brazenly. Be it Lu Yin himself, Zhuo Daynight, or even the entire Dayking bloodline, he was confident of taking everything away.

Suddenly, Nightking Zhenwu raised his head and grinned. Fresh blood seeped through his teeth, giving him an exceptionally frightening appearance. “It’s time!”

Lu Yin tapped his finger at Nightking Zhenwu, but suddenly, Lu Yin’s expression changed as a black gas emerged from his abdomen and gradually enveloped his entire body. His vision grew fuzzy, and his body lost all strength. In front of him, Nightking Zhenwu sneered and kicked at him, sending Lu Yin flying.

Lu Yin barely regained control of his body with great difficulty, and his legs left two long lines across the ground. He struggled to find his balance and not collapse as he spat out a mouthful of black blood, his entire body going numb.

“Seventh Bro, you’ve been poisoned!” The Ghost Monkey started to panic.

Lu Yin had also realized that he was poisoned, but when? And what poison could be so effective? How had he not sensed it, or even seen its rune lines? This black color was identical to the poison that Nightking Zhenwu had accused Zhuo Daynight of using against him.

Nightking Zhenwu had not been poisoned, but instead, it had been Lu Yin?

During the intense battle, Evernight Square had been shattered into pieces. As the dust settled, everyone saw Nightking Zhenwu towering high in the sky. Beneath him, Lu Yin was already struggling to not collapse, and his limbs looked rigid. His vision had gone fuzzy, and his mind was fading. His entire body was trembling uncontrollably.

Countless eyes from both the Innerverse and the Outerverse watched on.

Nightking Zhenwu looked down at Lu Yin. “I’ve already told you that there are strong and weak people even among the Ten Arbiters! You’re too arrogant in trying to challenge me! You tried to intervene in my Daynight clan’s internal matters. Additionally, Lu Yin, your death cannot wash away your crimes—you’re a traitor to the Fifth Mainland!”

Lu Yin could not open his mouth or even speak a single word. His entire body had gone numb.

“Seventh Bro, how are you? Seventh Bro!” the monkey shouted desperately.

Lu Yin’s entire body was covered with blood, and he looked incomparably pitiful. However, he was still enduring and had not fallen down yet. Sweat dripped down from his forehead. Since he did not even look up, everyone took it as Lu Yin acknowledging his defeat to Nightking Zhenwu.

Nightking Zhenwu had an arrogant expression. He had been waiting for this day for a long time, and at this moment, he was rejoicing that Lu Yin had managed to defeat Lan Si. By defeating Lu Yin, Zhenwu had become someone who stood above even the other Ten Arbiters.

Close by, Zhuo Daynight looked truly desperate. She had not known that she had given poisoned wine to Lu Yin; she truly had not known.

All around them, the guests of the Daynight Feast looked overwhelmed by what they were witnessing. Some became excited, some cheered, and others mocked and ridiculed Lu Yin, saying that he had overestimated himself by daring to challenge Nightking Zhenwu.

Starsibyl stared at Nightking Zhenwu; his moment of glory had finally arrived.

At this moment, Nightking Zhenwu was basking in his moment of shining glory. He had managed to easily defeat Lu Yin and had demonstrated a terrifying level of strength that nobody had imagined that he could possess. Everyone was able to understand Lu Yin’s strength due to his battle with Lan Si, but when Lu Yin had faced off against Nightking Zhenwu, the Nightking had played around with him like he was a child. This showed the incredible disparity between them, and it also revealed that there was a strength differential even among the Ten Arbiters.

Who could have known that Nightking Zhenwu was so fearsome? Many people suddenly thought of the rumors concerning a leader of the Ten Arbiters. Could Nightking Zhenwu really possess enough strength to become the leader of the Ten Arbiters?

Starsibyl was assisting him, so just what exactly had the Starsibyl Sect seen?

Throughout the Innerverse’s eight great flowzones, the Hall of Honor, and the Outerverse, countless eyes were fixated on Nightking Zhenwu at this moment.

Just as Lu Yin had appeared glorious after defeating Lan Si, Nightking Zhenwu was enjoying a similar glory at this moment.

Nightking Zhenwu landed in front of Zhuo Daynight and slowly said, “Woman, you’re really stupid. Your foolishness has actually doomed the entire Dayking bloodline. Do you know why this Daynight Feast was held? It’s because of you! This Daynight Feast will be recorded down in history as the day when the Dayking bloodline was completely buried, and it was all because of a woman called Zhuo Daynight who tried to assassinate Nightking Zhenwu.”

Zhuo Daynight’s expression was deathly white and devoid of all color.

Nightking Zhenwu looked calm as he continued on, saying, “You must find it strange. Where are your parents?”

Zhuo Daynight looked up and stared at Nightking Zhenwu. Blood dripped from her lips; she had bit her tongue. “My- my parents?”

Nightking Zhenwu’s lips curled up. “They’re dead.”

Zhuo Daynight’s pupils shrank, and her mind went blank.

“Not only them, but so are the tens of thousands of members of the Dayking bloodline. Right, and that person Lu Yin as well. In fact, he might not have been guaranteed to lose to me. However, it’s a pity that you gave him a cup of poisoned wine and sent him to an early grave. Your parents, your relatives, and your lover. Today, they are all going to leave you. How interesting, hahaha.” Nightking Zhenwu chuckled, which was exceptionally jarring when juxtaposed with the words he had just spoken. His smile sent chills running down Zhuo Daynight’s spine.

His voice had been rather loud, but he had controlled it so that no one else could hear anything. Only Nightking Zhenwu, Zhuo Daynight, and Lu Yin were able to hear these words.

Lu Yin struggled to look up, and he stared at Nightking Zhenwu. This person was deliberately mocking Zhuo Daynight. Just as the Nightking had promised in the past, he intended to push Zhuo Daynight into despair, as this was his opportunity to seize Night’s End, Daybreak. But why did he need to obtain Night’s End, Daybreak? Night’s End, Daybreak and Skybreaker were two battle techniques that were on the same level, and neither one could compare to the Arrow Progenitor’s battle techniques. But despite that, Zhenwu had put in all this time and effort to obtain Night’s End, Daybreak.

Everything that he had done had been to obtain Night’s End, Daybreak, as only by pushing Zhuo Daynight to utter despair would he have a chance to obtain the technique. This person’s personality was so dark that even in the entire universe, very few things were comparable.

“Everything happened today because of your stupidity. You harmed yourself, and you also harmed the Dayking bloodline,” Nightking Zhenwu barked.

Zhuo Daynight shuddered, and her eyes went slack. Two streams of bloody tears leaked out of the corners of her eyes. Her entire being had collapsed, and her originally black-and-white hair had gone white, completely white. It was a pale white that did not have any luster to it whatsoever. She had completely fallen apart, and not even the Fireplume Tribe’s songs could save her anymore.

Nightking Zhenwu grew excited, as this was the moment that he had been waiting for. Truly, at this moment, everything that he had done was coming to fruition; he had lured Lu Yin over not just to kill him, but more importantly, for Zhuo Daynight. Nightking Zhenwu had tried all sorts of cruel and unusual methods in his attempts to push Zhuo Daynight into despair, and it had all been for this moment so that he could obtain Night’s End, Daybreak. It was all for this very moment, and nobody could understand better than he himself the importance of Night’s End, Daybreak.

But even still, it was still not enough. She needed just a little more, just one more push. After thinking about it, the Nightking waved a hand. The ground split open, and two corpses appeared in front of Zhuo Daynight’s eyes. Their appearances could barely be discerned by now. “Do you recognize them? They’re your parents, and they died because of you. It’s all because of you.”

Nightking Zhenwu then turned around to shout out some orders. “Bury the Dayking bloodline.”

The people in the distance did not know what was happening.

At this moment, Lu Yin was finally able to move, and his die appeared. He tapped it with a finger, and it spun. It came to a stop. One pip: Pilfer. Useless. Continue.

Zhuo Daynight’s unfocused eyes stared towards the ground, and a desperate scream echoed from all ten thousand members of the Dayking bloodline off in the distance. Suddenly, every sound in her ears vanished, and all she could hear was the thumping of a heartbeat. Because of her, her parents had died. And so too would her pitiful clansmen, relatives, and everyone she had ever held dear to her. Extreme grief and despair engulfed her, and Zhuo Daynight knelt on the ground with her completely white hair as she screamed at the sky. “AHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

Nightking Zhenwu’s excitement rose even higher, as this was the moment he had been waiting for. He raised his hand and slapped at Zhuo Daynight.

Right at that moment, Lu Yin’s die stopped spinning. Four pips: Timestop.

As the scenery changed before his eyes, Lu Yin appeared in the grey-white space. He collapsed, and the poison continued to spread. His consciousness faded.

“Seventh Bro, where is this place?” the Ghost Monkey asked. Lu Yin had not screened the monkey off this time before appearing in the grey-white space. This was the second time that this had occurred.

Lu Yin was too preoccupied to deal with the monkey, as he was finally able to use his cosmic ring within this space. One of Nightking Zhenwu’s methods to deal with Lu Yin had been to make sure that all cosmic rings would be sealed on Nightking Planet. After all, Lu Yin had even been able to contest Envoy realm powerhouses in the Outerverse due to his various items, and Nightking Zhenwu had to make ample preparations. Fortunately, Lu Yin had his innate gift: the die.
