"Long time no see, Lan Si," Nightking Zhenwu said calmly.
"I never thought that you'd be the first one to contact me among the Ten Arbiters. Is it about Lu Yin?"
Nightking Zhenwu smiled. "That's right, it's indeed related to him. Don't underestimate him. Not only does he possess a secret technique that can divert attacks, but he's also an expert in the Home of the Gods."
Lance was shocked. "Home of the Gods?"
"That's right. You should have heard of the methods of the Home of the Gods. They've inherited a terrifying ancient civilization, and they can create or destroy anything. They're extremely mysterious, so you should be careful," Nightking Zhenwu warned.
Lan Si frowned, "Are you looking for me to reveal Lu Yin's background?"
"I know that you're confident that you can win, but there's no harm in knowing a little more." Nightking Zhenwu smiled.
Lan Si replied coldly, "There's no need. I'll find out myself. Just focus on yourself." With that, he hung up.
Lu Yin loathed Nightking Zhenwu, as the man was too sinister and ruthless. The Daynight clan had always been tyrannical, and they were not welcomed in the Starfall Sea. Among the Ten Arbiters, Lu Yin's relationship with Nightking Zhenwu could not be considered bad, but it could not be considered good either.
On the other side, Nightking Zhenwu put down his gadget. Lan Si's attitude was within his expectations, and it did not matter since he had already done what he had set out to do. If Lu Yin wanted to rely on secret techniques or strange methods to ambush Nightking Zhenwu, then he had found the wrong person. Although Lan Si did not care about what Nightking Zhenwu had said, he would definitely be on guard.
He hoped that Lance would be able to eliminate Lu Yin on his behalf and save him some trouble.
Planet Peng did not belong to any of the weaves, and it was located between Darkmist Weave and Bard Weave. It had originally been the planet closest to the Astral River, and it was extremely glorious. Although it was only a single planet, the value of its creation was enough to make the leading powers of the various weaves go green with envy. There were billions of people living there, and many of them were representatives from the Innerverse.
Unfortunately, a natural disaster led to the end of the world. The planet was completely covered in magma and oceans, filled with underground poisonous gas and terrifying creatures that could survive in extreme environments.
Lan Si had chosen Peng Emperor because that planet represented a glorious past and a bleak future. This was his gift to Lu Yin. Although he didn't intend to destroy everything that Lu Yin had created, losing in one battle was still a huge blow to Lu Yin. Lan Si could see it clearly.
He also hoped that this planet would serve as a warning to Lu Yin.
More importantly, the energy of the Astral River could be seen on the Peng King Planet.
Two days later, Lan Si arrived at the outskirts of Peng King Planet. With a single step, he directly entered the atmosphere of Peng King Planet. He looked down at the surging waves of the sea. At the bottom of the sea, there was boiling lava, causing the entire planet's seawater to boil. From time to time, strange creatures would rush out of the sea, only to be devoured by larger creatures.
To ordinary people, this was an extreme planet that was not suitable for living.
Lan Si's appearance broke the planet's countless years of peace. An ugly, five-colored flower with sharp teeth rushed out from the bottom of the sea toward Lan Si. The flower tried to swallow him whole.
Lan Si's eyes trembled, and his finger trembled. Star energy spread out and transformed into a heavy blow that shook the void. The flower was shattered into pieces, and the entire ocean trembled. After that, everything fell silent, as no one dared to provoke Lan Si again.
Lan Si stood on the surface of the ocean, gazing at the faintly discernible star energy in the distance as he waited for Lu Yin.
At this moment, countless people had arrived outside Planet Peng Wang. All kinds of equipment covered the sky and covered the earth. Countless media outlets were focused on Planet Peng Wang, broadcasting the shocking battle.
Although neither of them was an Enlighter, they represented the peak of the younger generation.
Another three days passed, and more and more people arrived outside Planet Peng Wang. Among them were quite a few Hunters, important figures from various great powers, and even some Enlighters who only existed in legends.
The bespectacled Mistchild had arrived, and she hid in the crowd as she looked at Planet Peng Wang. Now that Lu Yin was about to unify the Outerverse, her usefulness was diminishing. The number of times that she could meet Lu Yin was also decreasing, and sometimes, she couldn't even meet him at all. She could only report directly to Wei Rong, which made her very anxious. She hoped that after this battle, she would be able to see Lu Yin again.
Mu Nichang had also arrived, but she had not come to see Lu Yin. Instead, she had come to see Lan Si. Although she was from the Great Eastern Alliance, she hoped that Lan Si would emerge victorious and that he would not be injured.
Doro had seen through her intentions, and she felt helpless. "Master, you've really fallen for Arbiter Lan Si. Don't forget that you're much older than him."
Mu Nichang rolled her eyes. "You're still young."
Doro opened her mouth, as that made sense.
Even further away, the old woman from the Nalan family, who had once supported the Endless Weave's borders, had arrived and was calmly looking at Planet Peng Wang.
She had already surpassed 300,000 power levels, so logically speaking, she should not care about a dispute between the younger generation. However, she understood that these juniors would easily surpass her in a few years, as they were all freaks.
Aside from those from the Outerverse, countless people from the Innerverse were also paying attention to this battle.
The Ten Arbiters were not from the Outerverse, but rather the Innerverse. The Ten Arbiters' reputation for being invincible had been established in the Innerverse.
The Sword Sect, the Daynight clan, the Divine Grade Hall, the Wen family, the Astral Combat Academy, and so on, as well as the secluded Gu Flowzone, the war-torn Chaos Flowzone, and the Starfall Sea, which was trying to restore order, were all paying attention.
This was especially true for the Starfall Sea, where Lan Si represented the Ten Arbiters.
To Mu Rong, Ling Que, and the others, this battle was not just a battle between the Ten Arbiters, but also one in which Lu Yin had left them in the dust. Not too long ago, they had been competing against each other, but now, they could not even see Lu Yin's back.
…
On this day, outside of Planet Peng, the originally noisy space suddenly fell silent. A spacecraft descended, folded in midair, and was stored in a cosmic ring. The person who had taken it was Lu Yin.
He looked around and saw countless people, countless spacecraft, and countless machines all around Planet Peng.
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "Step back."
These two words were spoken softly, but everyone immediately retreated. No one dared to say anything.
This was the might of the Great Eastern Alliance's Alliance Master. In theory, these people were all under Lu Yin's control.
"The Alliance Master is invincible!" A shout rang out from somewhere, followed by countless people shouting, "The Alliance Master is invincible!" "The Alliance Master is invincible!"
Lu Yin was amused. These people probably did not believe that he could defeat Lan Si, but before the results were out, they would still praise him to their hearts' content.
As for the media, they had probably even prepared two pieces of news. One was that Lu Yin had won and was extremely flattering, while the other was that he had lost and was just as flattering and comforting.
No matter what price he would have to pay if he lost, at least for the time being, he was still the Great Eastern Alliance's Alliance Master, and no one would dare to speak ill of him.
This was power, and it was the power that Lu Yin wanted. Even if he lost, the entire universe would comfort him. No matter what they thought, they had to say something comforting.
Lu Yin looked towards Planet Peng and crossed the void to meet Lan Si's gaze. They could both see the fighting spirit in each other's eyes.
They had been waiting for this battle for more than two years.
Lu Yin took a step forward and tore through the void to descend on Planet Peng. He was less than a thousand meters away from Lan Si.
Lan Si calmly looked at Lu Yin. "You can admit defeat, and I will announce that this battle has been canceled to save your face." This was Lan Si's last chance for Lu Yin. He was repaying Lu Yin for giving them a chance to survive. Without Lu Yin, they would not have survived. Lan Si, as well as the people from Level Mountain Dojo and the Sea King's Dome, would have all died at the hands of the Sixth Mainland.
"Seventh Bro, do you admit defeat?
Are you confident? "
The monkey asked. He had witnessed Lu Yin's strength, especially when he had fought the Little Arrow Saint. The two had been evenly matched, but for some reason, he felt that a Realmling like the Little Arrow Saint was not as strong as the Ten Arbiters. Perhaps the Fifth Mainland's people were too good at concealing their strength. In any case, the more he looked at Lan Si, the more unfathomable he felt.
Lu Yin's expression was just as calm. "Since we've agreed to a battle, there's no reason to back out."
Lan Si's gaze was filled with admiration. "Ever since the Ten Arbiters' titles were created, there have been fewer and fewer challengers, and in recent years, there have been no challengers at all. You should understand the word 'invincible'. We say that you're from the same generation, but we're all older than you. In reality, you're already invincible among your peers, so there's no need for you to compete with us.
"You might have the strength to fight us, but the gap between us is similar to the gap between you and Mu Rong. Although it's only a slight difference, you still won. That slight difference cannot be made up for."
Lu Yin smiled and stretched out his hand to look at the lines on his palm. "Not necessarily."
"Nightking Zhenwu still hasn't shown you the difference between us?" Lan Si asked.
Lu Yin's gaze trembled, and he looked at Lan Si. "I should be thanking him, not him. I really didn't recognize the difference between us."
Lan Si nodded and replied, "I've already said what I needed to say. Since you want to fight, I'll fulfill your wish. I'll repay the favor you've done for my Great Mountain Dojo in the future."
"Seventh Bro, I feel that …" Before the monkey could finish, Lu Yin growled, "Here it comes!" Lan Si appeared in front of Lu Yin. "You asked for it." Lan Si then struck out with a palm. There was nothing fancy about it; it was the Overlaying Stacks Path, Hundred Stacks, and a 300-Fold Shockwave Palm.
Lu Yin's brows rose, as it was actually a Shockwave Palm. He raised his hand as well, and a 300-Fold Shockwave Palm was unleashed.
Bang!
There was a loud explosion that shook the void, and a giant spatial crack extended from their palms. One side faced the sea, swallowing up seawater and magma as it tore apart all sorts of strange creatures. The other side faced the heavens, causing the heavens to split apart.
If Lu Yin had not ordered the others to retreat, some of them would have definitely been swallowed up by the spatial crack.
Just the first attack had shaken countless people, and everyone who saw this scene felt their scalps go numb.
On the surface of Planet Peng, the collision between the two palms not only created spatial cracks, but also a Hundred Stacks Path that spread out in an arc. The sea surged, and the void seemed to be pushed apart like waves. The entire surface of the sea evaporated under the enormous pressure, and the poisonous gas in the sky and underground formed a black fog. The sky darkened.
The two retreated at the same time, and Lan Si shouted, "Again!" He then struck out with another palm, but this time, he did not use a Hundred Stacks, but a Hundred Twenty Stacks.
Lu Yin knew that Lan Si had definitely surpassed the Hundred Stacks level. Actually, with his physical strength, he could also train in that level. Unfortunately, no one could help him deduce it, and he could not do it himself.
Against Lan Si's even more powerful palm strike, Lu Yin shifted his Fatesand and unleashed a huge burst of power. It was still the same Hundred Stacks palm strike, but it contained an even more terrifying power. This power completely evened out the Twenty Stacks gap.
