"What's wrong?" The man laughed in anger. "Do you think I'm a sparring partner? Show me your true abilities."
Lu Yin's gaze swept over to Yue Xianzi, who was standing in the corner, and he quickly attacked. The man only saw a blur before the sky darkened, and he lost consciousness. He had been knocked unconscious by Lu Yin.
There was a loud boom as the ground shook, and a beam of sword qi swept out, instantly killing a trialtaker. Li Zimo was unstoppable.
"Native, die!" A Daynight man rushed out and pressed down on Li Zimo. Black and white alternated within his palm, causing quite a few people around him to faint.
Li Zimo's eyes lit up, and he flipped his sword around, brushing past the Daynight man. The man spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground with a bone-deep gash on his chest.
There was a whoosh as an enormous pressure pressed down on Li Zimo's head, causing his hair to stand on end. He subconsciously retreated, and the sixth level of the Tower of Resonating Light was destroyed. Zhanlong Daynight walked out of the dust and stared at Li Zimo. "You're not bad."
Li Zimo's gaze trembled; he was an absolute expert.
The two did not waste any words and charged towards each other. The next moment, the area within a kilometer became a no-man's land, as no one dared to join their battle.
Of the three commanders of the Ming Vanguard, only Li Zimo was a Limiteer. The other two were Explorers who had gone to the five sealing planets. However, their vice-commanders were also Limiteers, and they were able to block the trialtakers' attacks.
It wasn't just the Ming Vanguard; the defenses of the Tower of Resonating Light were not weak to begin with, and there were even experts who were on the List of Tempering. Even the trialtakers could not take them down quickly.
The sixth level was very wide, and the battlefield was not concentrated. All the trialtakers' goal was to rush to the next level.
Lu Yin shuttled through the battlefield and appeared in front of Yue Xianzi. She was shocked and instinctively used her Water God's Robe to protect herself, but it was torn apart by Lu Yin's single palm. Yue Xianzi was shocked, and at the same time, she thought of Lu Yin. Although his appearance had changed, it had not changed by much, and there were not many people who could easily tear apart her Water God's Robe.
"You're Lu Yin?" Yue Xianzi shouted as she cautiously retreated.
Lu Yin's gaze was cold. "You didn't tell me that you were going to attack the Tower of Resonating Light.
. "I didn't know before I came to the capital."
"Is that so?" Lu Yin did not pursue the matter. "If you have any last words, then hurry up and say them. Since you helped me infiltrate the Ming Constables, I can help you pass them on to the Frostmoon Sect."
Yue Xianzi's eyes turned cold as she took a few steps back. "You want to kill me?"
"It's not me, it's Ming Hao. Don't you know?
The news that the Tower of Resonating Light was a node for the five sealing planets was leaked by Ming Hao, and your attack on the Tower of Resonating Light was a tacit agreement between the Darkmist Weave and the Shenwu Continent. This battle is very tacit, and you're just pawns. "
Yue Xianzi frowned. "No one dares to use us as pawns, and Darkmist Weave is no exception."
Lu Yin laughed. "The Darkmist Weave contains the darkest powers in the entire universe. They might not be able to compare to the Innerverse's Chaos Flowzone in terms of power, but they're not lacking in temperament at all. If they pretend that they don't know anything, then what can you do? This is a trial, not a game."
"How do you know?
What else do you know? "
Yue Xianzi was puzzled. This person in front of her had to use her connections to enter the Ming Constables, so how did he know so much?
Lu Yin looked into the distance and vaguely saw Han Chong flash by. He thought for a moment before saying, "Something is about to happen. You're on your own now." He then left.
Yue Xianzi was not sure if Lu Yin really knew something or if he was just trying to deceive her. If what he said was true, then there was a hidden hand controlling the trial takers from the Shenwu Continent. They were betting their lives on whether or not they could break the Tower of Resonating Light. If they could break it, then the credit would go to that person. If they couldn't, then that person might not even show up. Yue Xianzi, Han Chong, and the people from the Daynight clan were all pawns of that person.
Impossible, no one would treat them like pawns. However, Yue Xianzi thought about it for a while and suddenly realized a problem. If all the trial takers were attacking the Tower of Resonating Light at the same time, then who was the one leading them?
Han Chong?
Impossible, as this group of people had only just arrived. If they could gather information about the Tower of Resonating Light and organize so many people, then they must have been planning this for a long time. Who could it be?
Han Chong entered the seventh level of the Tower of Resonating Light. He easily dodged two long blades that slashed at him, and with a wave of his hand, he used his martial power to crush the two Ming Vanguards in front of him. Everything was pitch-black as far as the eye could see, and only the light from the sixth level illuminated the area. Where was the node?
On the sixth level, the battle between Li Zimo and Zhanlong Daynight was becoming more and more intense. Li Zimo's sword qi was becoming more and more frequent, and he was already using his full strength. However, Zhanlong Daynight was still handling the situation with ease, and there was not a single scratch on his body.
At this moment, Li Zimo's shock was indescribable. As the second on the List of Tempering, there should be no one in the Martial King realm who was a match for him aside from the mysterious number one. Li Zimo had encountered many outsiders over the years, and no one in the same realm had been a match for him. However, the man in front of him was too terrifying. Li Zimo could not even injure him, let alone defeat him.
Zhanlong Daynight grinned and tore open his outer robes. "Your swordsmanship isn't bad. Come, slash at me." He pointed at his chest in an arrogant manner.
Li Zimo sheathed his sword and stared at Zhanlong Daynight. He flipped the hilt of his sword over. "How arrogant." He tapped his foot lightly and slashed out. The surroundings fell silent, as this attack seemed to isolate the space around it. It was stronger than any of his previous attacks, and it even surpassed Liu Shaoqiu's Second Sword of the Thirteen Swords. This was the Silent Sword, Li Zimo's strongest attack.
Zhanlong Daynight had been careless. He had thought that Li Zimo had already used his full strength, but he had not expected this to be his strongest attack. Zhanlong Daynight's chest was torn open, and blood splattered across the ground.
He jumped onto a broken rock and looked at Zhanlong Daynight. Should he take this opportunity to kill him?
Drip, drip, drip.
Fresh blood splattered across the ground, and Zhanlong Daynight lowered his head as he felt the pain in his chest. He slowly turned around. "Not bad, kid. You're the first Limiteer to injure me."
Li Zimo's eyes trembled as he watched the wound on Zhanlong Daynight's chest gradually disappear. In just a few seconds, it returned to its original state. Aside from the flowing blood, there were no other signs of injury. How was this possible?
Lu Yin's scalp went numb. What was this?
"What a familiar technique. I think I've seen it before in the records of the border war," the monkey said.
"It's a technique from the Daynight clan," Lu Yin whispered.
The monkey exclaimed, "I remember now! It's the Daynight Restoration Technique! Someone actually managed to cultivate this heaven-defying technique."
"You know about it?" Lu Yin was puzzled.
The monkey replied, "I've seen many powerhouses' records, and one of them mentioned the Daynight Restoration Technique. A long time ago, perhaps thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago, a heaven-defying genius appeared in the Daynight clan. As an Explorer, he battled against five Cruiser realm astral beasts. The battle lasted for several days, and in the end, it ended with five deaths. The four Cruiser realm astral beasts and the Daynight genius perished together. Only one person survived, and that person was that powerhouse. He mentioned the Daynight Restoration Technique in detail."
The monkey paused for a moment before continuing, "This technique doesn't cultivate a battle technique, but rather, a recovery ability that's almost abnormal. If a person's recovery ability is rated at ten, then after successfully cultivating this technique, their recovery ability can rise to a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand. Any injury can be instantly healed, and it's extremely abnormal. The only reason we were able to kill that Daynight genius was because we had been able to drag things out."
Lu Yin was shocked. "There's such a technique?
Then wouldn't that guy be invincible as well? "
"More or less. In any case, no one at the same level as him can kill him. The longer you cultivate this technique, the stronger your body will become in all aspects, and you'll become infinitely stronger. It's very, very abnormal. That powerhouse wrote in his records that anyone who cultivates the Daynight Restoration Technique must be killed without giving them a chance to grow," the monkey said solemnly.
Recovery ability? That sounded familiar. Right, the Arcane Art of Life and Death. He remembered that the Arcane Art of Life and Death could greatly increase one's strength by suppressing the body's recovery ability and converting it into strength. It was the exact opposite of the Daynight Restoration Technique. Lu Yin suddenly recalled something. No wonder he'd felt a sense of suppression when he'd clashed with Zhanlong Daynight. Could it be that the Arcane Art of Life and Death was suppressing the Daynight Restoration Technique?
If that was the case, then Lu Yin looked at the distant Zhanlong Daynight. This guy was too unlucky. Lu Yin had successfully cultivated the Arcane Art of Life and Death, which no one else had been able to cultivate for countless years. He was probably the only person in the universe who could counter the Daynight Restoration Technique.
As Zhanlong Daynight's body recovered, Li Zimo gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. No matter how strong Lu Yin's attacks were, they were useless. Zhanlong Daynight looked like he was ready to die together with Lu Yin. Not long after, a crack appeared on Li Zimo's longsword, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The defensive forces within the Tower of Resonating Light were gradually falling into a disadvantageous position. Lu Yin did not want Li Zimo to be killed, and more importantly, he could not allow Li Zimo to die at the hands of the Daynight clan. Otherwise, this result would be enough for Zhanlong Daynight to join the Outerverse Youth Council.
He then used Flash to rush into the battlefield and casually picked up a boulder to smash at Zhanlong Daynight.
Zhanlong Daynight waved his hand, and the boulder shattered. His cold gaze swept over Lu Yin.
Lu Yin lowered his head and smashed the ground, kicking up a huge cloud of dust.
Zhanlong Daynight was disdainful. "Child's play."
Li Zimo looked at Lu Yin and said in a low voice, "You're not allowed to interfere. Leave."
Lu Yin wanted to say something, but a voice rang out beside his ear. At the same time, Li Zimo heard it as well. The two looked at each other and then rushed towards the fifth level of the Tower of Resonating Light.
At the same time, the Ming Vanguard and the other Shenwu Continent experts who had been defending the Tower of Resonating Light retreated one after another.
Yue Xianzi's heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad premonition. "Brother Zhanlong, this is a trap. They're trying to trap us here."
Zhanlong Daynight looked up. "That will depend on their abilities." He then leapt up and rushed towards the fifth level with Lu Yin and the rest.
Li Zimo swung his sword in an attempt to stop Zhanlong Daynight, but Zhanlong Daynight was not the only one who knew the Daynight Restoration Technique. His extreme speed was also astonishing, and it exceeded the expectations of Li Zimo and the rest. By the time Li Zimo and the rest reached the fifth level, Zhanlong Daynight was right behind them. Besides them, there were a few other trialtakers who had also reached the fifth level.
"Beat him down!" Li Zimo barked as he attacked Zhanlong Daynight.
Lu Yin also attacked at the same time, sending a palm towards Zhanlong Daynight.
Zhanlong Daynight snorted and punched out with both fists. Black and white intersected; this was the Daynight Punch. With a bang, Li Zimo's longsword shattered, and he was sent flying back dozens of meters. Lu Yin's palm collided with Zhanlong Daynight's fist, and there was a loud bang. A shockwave spread out in all directions and suppressed the Daynight experts who had been rushing up.
