The Charming Mountain Flowzone was located between the First Flowzone and the Daynight Flowzone. It was a small flowzone, but that was only because it was about the same size as the Northline Flowzone when compared to the First Flowzone and the Daynight Flowzone. There was only one dominant power in the entire flowzone, and it was called the Charming Mountain Sect. The Charming Mountain Flowzone's name also originated from the Charming Mountain Sect.
The reason why the Charming Mountain Flowzone had been destroyed was because it was located between the two major flowzones and produced a resource called Charming Mountain Grass, which had been fought over by the two major flowzones.
Before this, the First Flowzone had failed to seize control of the First Flowzone, and the Charming Mountain Flowzone had been given to the Daynight Flowzone. However, after the Daynight Flowzone had almost been destroyed by Lu Yin, the First Flowzone had forcefully occupied the Charming Mountain Flowzone.
Lu Yin had never expected that he would be the source of this war.
The Daynight Flowzone was the First Flowzone, and it was one of the Innerverse's Eight Great Flowzones. It covered a wide area and had great influence. Lu Yin had borrowed the power of Leon's Armada and the entire Outerverse to almost destroy the Daynight Flowzone, which had caused an unimaginable shock to the Innerverse's power structure.
The Daynight Flowzone was tyrannical, and it had taken over many of the Innerverse's resources. The various great powers were furious, but they did not dare to speak up. Now that they had been overthrown, the consequences would naturally be severe. The Charming Mountain Flowzone was just one of the many that Lu Yin had not seen.
This war was not fought between two sides, but rather the power structure.
The Innerverse was different from the Outerverse; it was crueler and more unreasonable.
Lu Yin remained calm as he watched the battle in the distance.
The Charming Mountain Sect was much stronger than the Outerverse's powers. Although they were not on the same level as the Taimo Temple, they still had several Enlighters.
Sword qi filled the sky and tore through the universe. Over ten thousand disciples from the Sword Sect attacked, and the sharp glints of their attacks caused others to shiver. Ten thousand swords attacked together, and an Enlighter from the Charming Mountain Sect was torn apart.
Ku Wei was speechless. "Seventh Bro, the Sword Sect is really ruthless. They don't even let anyone speak."
Lu Yin calmly replied, "Since they've been destroyed, why should I speak?" He had not said much when he had ordered the assassination of the central weaves' allied forces.
With a boom, the airwaves swept out in all directions. In the distance, several planets exploded, forming black holes. At the same time, a fleet of the Charming Mountain Clan was directly ignited into flames. They were torn into countless pieces by the Sword Qi, and not even their bodies could be seen.
"My Charming Mountain Sect is willing to surrender to the Sword Sect! Why is there no end to this slaughter? Sword Sect, my Charming Mountain Sect is willing to surrender!" an Enlighter shouted frantically, but a ray of sword qi pierced through his head. His eyes dimmed, and the despair in his eyes before his death was a stark contrast to the cold-blooded gazes of the Sword Sect's experts.
The person who had killed the Enlighter from the Enchanted Mountain Sect was an expert from the Sword Sect dressed in blood-red robes. In Lu Yin's eyes, this person's rune line count was the second highest on the battlefield, as he had a power level of over 400,000. The person with the highest rune line count was an unremarkable, thin man from the Enchanted Mountain Sect. Perhaps the Sword Sect had not realized that this man was actually the strongest person on the battlefield.
The thin man's opponent was only a Hunter from the Sword Sect. No matter how exquisite the Hunter's sword techniques were, they were all easily neutralized.
The thin man's eyes turned cold when he saw that the Enchanted Mountain Sect's elder had died, but the Sword Sect's battle had not ended. "The Sword Sect has gone too far." He then grabbed the sword of the Hunter from the Sword Sect and shattered it. The Hunter from the Sword Sect watched in horror as he slapped out with his palm, causing the void to turn to dust.
His terrifying power level swept across the battlefield, attracting the attention of many of the Sword Sect's experts. A wave of sword qi descended.
The thin man snorted and casually waved his hand, dispersing all of the sword qi.
At this moment, the Sword Sect expert dressed in blood-red robes appeared. "You're not dead?
Were the rumors from a hundred years ago false? "
The thin man's eyes turned cold. "What's the difference between truth and falsehood?
Since I'm not dead, I hope that Elder Li can stop this battle. My Charming Mountain Sect is willing to submit to the Sword Sect. "
The blood-red robed Elder Li sneered. "If you knew that this day would come, then you wouldn't have acted in the first place."
The thin man retorted, "The reason you want to destroy my Charming Mountain Sect is because when the Daynight Flowzone was in chaos, we had to provide reinforcements. Elder Li, you should understand our position. We're stuck between the Daynight clan and the Sword Sect, and it's difficult for us to survive."
"That's not a reason for you to sit on the fence. The Charming Mountain Sect will definitely be destroyed today. This is an order personally given by the sect master. He doesn't want to see the words' Charming Mountain Flowzone 'appear on the star chart again. This Flowzone needs a new master," Elder Li said as he swung his sword. Sword qi with a power level of over 400,000 shook the heavens, and it spread far and wide. Perhaps half of the Charming Mountain Flowzone was cut open.
The thin man bellowed, "If your Sword Sect destroys my Charming Mountain Sect today, then you can destroy the other Flowzones tomorrow. Aren't you afraid that the surrounding Flowzones will join forces to resist?"
"We'll see!" Elder Li shouted.
Within the spacecraft, Lu Yin watched the battle between the two. The entire battlefield was silent, and the shockwaves from each exchange swept across the heavens.
He realized that he had overlooked something. Of the Eight Great Flowzones of the Innerverse, the Sword Sect and the Daynight clan were the most powerful. They had always been competing for first and second place, restricting each other. Now that Lu Yin had defeated the Daynight clan in one fell swoop and sealed off the entire clan, the Sword Sect had jumped out and become increasingly unrestrained. This was not a good thing.
He glanced at the people from the Sword Sect not too far away. Perhaps they had brought him here so that he could witness this scene and use this opportunity to warn him that they were not plotting against the Outerverse!
The unification of the Outerverse had infringed on the interests of the entire Innerverse. Currently, the Sword Sect was the largest faction in the Innerverse, which meant that the Sword Sect had suffered the greatest losses.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold as he thought about it.
When two experts with power levels of over 400,000 clashed, it was the others who suffered.
All of the Sword Sect's disciples had retreated, and the Charming Mountain Sect had retreated as well, leaving the entire region of space for the two to battle.
The shockwaves from their clash shook the heavens, and the spacecraft swayed like a lone boat.
Many people found it difficult to breathe due to the star energy suppression, especially since Elder Li's sword qi was too sharp. Many were blinded just by looking at it.
The person from the Charming Mountain Sect had more rune lines than the Sword Sect's Elder Li, but Elder Li was still from the Sword Sect, and his power level could not be measured by mere numbers. It didn't take long for the man from the Charming Mountain Sect to be suppressed and unable to hold on for much longer.
Those from the Sword Sect were very confident in Elder Li, and they calmly watched on.
The Charming Mountain Sect was in despair.
"Sword Sect, you've gone too far! Even if my Charming Mountain Sect is destroyed today, I'll drag you down with me!" the thin man bellowed. It was unknown what he used, but it might have been an innate gift or a battle technique, but he actually managed to shatter Elder Li's sword qi. He then charged towards Elder Li like a ghost, his hand forming a strange shape that took the shape of a mountain before disappearing.
Elder Li's eyes widened, and he turned his sword around. Just as he was about to attack, a figure wearing universal armor appeared in front of him. The man raised his left hand and blocked the attack. The man from the Charming Mountain Sect slammed into the armor, but he was unable to shake the newcomer. The newcomer raised his right hand and pressed it against the man's abdomen. There was a thump, and a ferocious shockwave shook the surroundings, sending the man flying.
The force was so strong that it tore through the void. Even Elder Li subconsciously took several steps back and looked at the newcomer in shock. Who could be so strong?
He couldn't even react in time. If this person had attacked him, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The person who had attacked was naturally Lu Yin, but he wasn't helping Elder Li. The rune lines from the man from the Charming Mountain Sect weren't enough to deal much damage to Elder Li. Since that was the case, he might as well do the Sword Sect a favor and let them feel his strength.
If the Sword Sect wanted to use this battle to intimidate him, then he had to return the favor.
Elder Li knew that the man from the Charming Mountain Sect's attack wouldn't have much of an effect on him, but the Sword Sect didn't. This favor had been forced upon them by Lu Yin.
"I'm sorry, Elder Li. I couldn't hold back and attacked," Lu Yin apologized.
Elder Li and Lu Yin exchanged glances.
In the distance, the man from the Charming Mountain Sect coughed up blood and stared at Lu Yin in shock. This person had actually ignored his attack and even made him cough up blood with a single palm strike.
Lu Yin's universal armor had been upgraded seven times, and its rune lines were close to 500,000 power levels. It naturally wasn't something that someone with a power level of 400,000 could break through.
It had been a long time since Lu Yin had used an external item to challenge someone of a higher realm, and it felt great.
Elder Li shifted his gaze to the man from the Charming Mountain Sect, and the chill in his eyes turned into sword qi. He raised his hand and stabbed out with his sword, which pierced through the void. This attack surpassed all of his previous attacks, and from Lu Yin's perspective, it even carried the concept of the Thirteen Swords, which reminded him of Liu Xiaoyun. Although she hadn't inherited the Thirteen Swords, she had used various methods to get close to it.
The man from the Mei Mountain Sect spat out a mouthful of blood after being struck by Lu Yin's full strength. Lu Yin's current strength was enough to fight against a Third Transformation Corpse King, and even 400,000 Enlighters would not be able to compete with him in terms of strength. That palm strike had not been light, and the man was unable to dodge Elder Li's sword and was instantly killed.
As he watched the man's corpse float in the air, Lu Yin was reminded of Northgate Taisui. Back then, he had felt the terror of a powerhouse with a power level of 400,000. Now, he could already pose a threat to such a person. Time passed so quickly!
More than half of the Ten Arbiters hadn't passed the age limit for the younger generation to reach forty, but they were probably very close to it. They were lucky to have made it to the Supreme Tournament.
The death of the Charming Mountain Sect's strongest powerhouse had led to the sect's destruction.
Lu Yin had seen such scenes many times, and he didn't feel much sympathy for the Charming Mountain Sect. If not for the Sword Sect, the Charming Mountain Sect would definitely have supported the Daynight clan, which would have caused trouble for his plans. It could only be said that this was their fate.
He had experienced such desperate situations many times before, and this was the cruelty of the universe.
"You're Lu Yin?" Elder Li looked at Lu Yin, his eyes filled with killing intent. He was a bloodthirsty person.
Lu Yin nodded and deactivated his universal armor. "Junior Lu Yin greets Senior."
Elder Li looked at Lu Yin, and then his gaze landed on his right hand. "You're very strong. Even I can't compare to you."
Lu Yin smiled. "Elder's advantage lies in your swordsmanship. I only have a bit of strength, so how can I compare to Elder?"
"You're the strongest when you reach the pinnacle," Elder Li said before turning to leave.
