Suddenly, her expression turned sluggish as a pair of eyes opened at the bottom of the Frigid Celestial Pond. They met each other's gaze, and Whitewater fell to the ground.
Elder Jiu Shen was the first to notice, and he subconsciously looked at the bottom of the Frigid Celestial Pond. He saw the same pair of eyes, and in the next moment, his mind trembled as balls of spiritual force materialized around his body and exploded.
Ten balls of spiritual energy erupted at the same time, and they instantly reached a level of rune lines that neared Master Yuan's power level of a million. However, that was not all, as the rune lines rapidly overlapped each other. This was not a battle technique, but rather a sourcebox array.
Lu Yin's pupils turned into runes as he was weakened.
Elder Jiu Shen was bombarded by the sourcebox array, and his body swayed as he spat out a mouthful of blood. He had already been heavily injured at Xing Shan, and he almost lost his footing. At the critical moment, hundreds of thousands of stars appeared around him, and he grabbed Lu Yin and retreated.
A figure walked out from the Frigid Celestial Pond. It was a man with a resolute expression and cold eyes. He was extremely handsome, and his hair was black and white with a hint of gray in the middle.
Lu Yin's pupils shrank; this was the Nightking clan.
Elder Jiu Shen suddenly threw Lu Yin behind him. "Kid, run!"
Lu Yin was flung away by a huge force, and the Nightking man's figure quickly disappeared. Lu Yin's mind was in chaos; who was this person?
He definitely couldn't have entered the Frigid Celestial Sect after Elder Jiu Shen. From the looks of it, Elder Jiu Shen had been in the Frigid Celestial Pond for a very long time.
It was no wonder why Nightking Dijiang had escaped to the Frigid Celestial Sect. He hadn't wanted to use the ruins to protect himself, but rather to lure this person out. This person was the source of Nightking Dijiang's confidence, and he had been able to injure Elder Jiu Shen with a sourcebox array. Even if it had been a sneak attack, this person's cultivation was probably not lower than Elder Jiu Shen's.
Who was this person?
Outside the Frigid Celestial Pond, Elder Jiu Shen's mouth was bleeding as hundreds of thousands of stars gathered around him and transformed into Sirius Sword Technique that slashed towards the man.
The man was astonished. "Sirius Sect's Sirius Sword Technique. If I'm not mistaken, you're Elder Jiu Shen. Long time no see."
Elder Jiu Shen's sword stopped and looked at the man in shock. "You know me?"
The man's lips curled up, and he suddenly disappeared. Elder Jiu Shen knew that something was wrong, and he turned around to look. All he saw was a crack in the void as the man chased after Lu Yin.
It took a lot of effort for him to regain control of his body. He had just crossed Xing Mountain, and he wasn't too far away from the entrance. All he had to do was charge forward, but what happened to Elder Jiushen?
"Are you worried about Elder Jiu Shen?" A voice came from behind.
Lu Yin's scalp went numb, and he slowly turned around to see the Nightking with long hair that reached his ankles. His hands clenched into fists, and he was just about to retrieve the chief referee's token when he suddenly remembered that he had given it to Liu Yefei.
"Who are you?"
Below them, many people saw Lu Yin and the man in the sky. Wen Sansi and the rest also saw them, and they all looked up.
Although they didn't want to admit it, they all believed that Lu Yin was the master of the Frigid Immortal Sect.
At that moment, Lu Yin felt an intense sense of danger. Facing this man reminded him of the time when he had been trying to escape from the Astral Trees.
Elder Jiu Shen stepped out of Astral Source Universe and appeared beside Lu Yin. He stared at the man. "I remember now. You're the Second Nightking."
Lu Yin was shocked. "The Second Nightking?"
The Nightking smiled and looked at Elder Jiu Shen. "Back then, we were in the new universe.
I don't know how long it's been since we parted. That battle is still fresh in my memory. "
Elder Jiu Shen's eyes narrowed, and his expression turned serious. "I didn't expect you to still be alive."
The Second Nightking smiled. "I'm lucky." He looked at Lu Yin and then at Elder Jiu Shen. "Who is he to protect this child?"
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. The Second Nightking didn't know what had happened?
Just as Elder Jiu Shen was about to speak, the Second Nightking's face darkened, and he looked outside the ruins.
Lu Yin hurriedly shouted, "Elder, attack! He's discovered the Daynight clan."
The Second Nightking's voice turned cold. "Who dares to attack my Daynight clan's ancestral grounds?"
Elder Jiu Shen raised a hand, and Sirius slashed out with its sword towards the Second Nightking.
The Second Nightking turned around with a cold gaze. "Back then, you Neoverse powerhouses forced the First Nightking to his death and prevented my Daynight clan from entering the Neoverse. Are you going to completely destroy my Daynight clan now?"
He then tapped out with a finger.
Lu Yin was shocked; this was the Nightking's Immortal Finger.
In the distance, within the Frigid Immortal Sect's meeting hall, Nightking Di Jiang looked up excitedly at the Second Nightking. The Second Nightking was still alive! This was great! The Daynight clan could be saved!
High up in the sky, the finger touched the edge of Sirius's sword. There was no earth-shattering collision, as they didn't dare to cause too much of a commotion in the Frigid Immortal Sect's ruins.
Stars revolved around the Sirius's sword, but in the next moment, a frigid qi wreaked havoc and froze Sirius's sword.
Elder Jiu Shen was shocked. "Frigid Immortal Pond's water?"
Lu Yin knew that things weren't looking good. The Daynight clan's Nightking's Immortal Finger was an imitation of the Frigid Immortal Sect's Immortal Guides the Way. The Second Nightking had been cultivating at the bottom of the Frigid Immortal Pond for a very long time, and this finger was infinitely close to Immortal Guides the Way. It could even borrow the pond's water to freeze all things. Elder Jiu Shen was already heavily injured, so he couldn't block it.
With a thump, Sirius's sword was frozen and shattered. Nine-lined battle force suddenly appeared at the Second Nightking's fingertips, and under Elder Jiu Shen's incredulous gaze, the finger pierced right through him and froze half of his body.
"Back then, I was far from being your match. Even the First Nightking was no match for you, Elder Jiu Shen. However, I've been cultivating at the bottom of the Frigid Immortal Pond for so many years without slacking off. You're also heavily injured, so how could you possibly be my match? Elder Jiu Shen, today, you'll pay for the First Nightking's life with your life."
Elder Jiu Shen gritted his teeth, and his body suddenly vanished. A man appeared in his place, looking down in shock as his body was rapidly frozen and fell to the ground.
Sirius Sect's secret technique — Stellar Transposition.
The Second Nightking snorted and looked down at Elder Jiu Shen, who was half-squatting on the ground and coughing up blood. He sneered disdainfully and suddenly looked at Lu Yin. "Brat, you're from the Sirius Sect, aren't you? You can only blame yourself for following the wrong person and trying to take away the Frigid Immortal Pond. You're courting death."
Lu Yin was shocked when he heard the murderous intent in the Second Nightking's words. He hurriedly replied, "I'm from your clan."
The Second Nightking's gaze turned cold, and he sneered, "Nonsense." He then unleashed a spiritual force attack.
With the Second Nightking's spiritual force cultivation, Lu Yin definitely wouldn't be able to block it. Fortunately, he had prepared beforehand by activating his defensive array and reciting the Stonewall Scriptures. As the Second Nightking's spiritual force swept past, Lu Yin's miniature armor immediately cracked, and his defensive array was completely useless. Lu Yin's brain felt as if it had cracked open, and he lost control of his body and fell to the ground.
The Second Nightking was astonished. "You actually survived, even if it's just a casual attack.
Although it's an attack of will, if you're not an Emissary and don't specialize in spiritual force, you won't be able to survive. "With that thought in mind, the Second Nightking unleashed another attack that was even stronger than the previous one.
Lu Yin was on the verge of fainting, so there was no way he could block this attack.
At the critical moment, Elder Jiu Shen dragged Lu Yin down and barely escaped with his life.
The Second Nightking landed on the ground and locked eyes with Elder Jiu Shen. He raised his hand again and pointed. "Die."
"Second Nightking, do you really want to destroy the Daynight clan?" Elder Jiu Shen barked as he stared at the Second Nightking.
The Second Nightking's finger stopped, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
"You know that my Sirius Sect has Elder Gong. No matter how long you've cultivated or how you created your sourcebox array, it's useless. Elder Gong is a half-step Ancestor, and he can easily kill you. There's also the Elysian Master and Elder Chan on Everlasting Island. They don't want a powerful Daynight clan to enter the Neoverse. Do you want to be hunted down by the entire Fifth Mainland?"
The Second Nightking narrowed his eyes and lowered his hand.
Elder Jiu Shen relaxed.
Suddenly, the Second Nightking's gaze turned cold as his spiritual force materialized and surrounded Elder Jiu Shen and Lu Yin. This was the same sourcebox array that he had used to ambush Elder Jiu Shen at the Frozen Immortal Pond.
Elder Jiu Shen hadn't expected the Second Nightking to suddenly attack, and he was heavily injured. He couldn't react in time and was surrounded by the spiritual force.
"If I come out, will the Hall of Honor and Sirius Sect let me off?
Back then, the First Nightking was forced to his death, and I suffered the same fate. I have no intention of forgetting that grudge. As for the Daynight clan, at worst, we'll just start over somewhere else. The Technocracy or the Astral Beast Domain is fine, but it's still better than waiting to die, "the Second Nightking said." As for you, just treat it as interest. I want to see if Elder Gong can chase me to the edge of the universe. "
"I can die, but this brat is from your Daynight clan. Are you going to let him die just like that?" Elder Jiu Shen hurriedly asked.
The Second Nightking sneered. "The dignified Elder Jiu Shen is so afraid of death that he's spouting nonsense. How pathetic."
Elder Jiu Shen was helpless. He could die, but Lu Yin couldn't. This brat had Sirius's supreme treasure beneath his feet, and he couldn't die. This brat could only blame himself for claiming that he was from the Daynight clan. Elder Jiu Shen could only follow suit and lie. It all depended on whether or not this brat could cover up his own lies.
He should be able to!
"I know you don't believe me, but you can just ask. Why are you afraid of wasting so much time?" Elder Jiu Shen asked as he continued to treat Lu Yin.
The Second Nightking sneered. "There's no need to waste time. Die." At that moment, Lu Yin finally regained consciousness. When he saw the Second Nightking, he subconsciously used the Daynight's Tribute.
This was the Daynight clan's most powerful spiritual force battle technique, and it far surpassed the Nightking's Immortal Finger.
When the Daynight's Tribute appeared, the Second Nightking's expression changed, and he hurriedly stopped. He stared at Lu Yin. "Brat, how do you know the Daynight's Tribute?"
Lu Yin was panting heavily, and his head felt like it was about to split open. He still hadn't figured out what was going on, and his memory was still stuck at the moment when he had blocked the Second Nightking's attack. At that time, he had wanted to block the Second Nightking's attack and immediately use the Daynight's Tribute, but he hadn't expected to be beaten into a daze.
"Brat, speak," Elder Jiu Shen said.
Only then did Lu Yin see the situation clearly. There were a total of ten spiritual force spheres surrounding him, and his face paled. This scene was not unfamiliar to him. Next to the Frozen Immortal Pond, ten spiritual force spheres had formed a sourcebox array that had severely injured Elder Jiu Shen. That was why Elder Jiu Shen had been unable to resist the Second Nightking.
