Tian Hou was a legend that could not be covered up.
No one in the same realm could defeat it alone, not even one.
Countless people stared blankly at Lu Yin, who was facing the Tian Hou with his legs bent as if he was about to kneel.
If he really did kneel, then his life would be over. The entire Human Domain would not tolerate him, as he represented the Human Domain in kneeling at the feet of a astral beast.
On Zenyu Star, Huo Qingshan and the rest paled.
Wendy Yushan gripped the hilt of her sword and suddenly stood up, her eyes flashing.
In the Innerverse, the black-haired woman with a white sword had a cold gaze.
In the Daynight clan's ancestral grounds, Zhuo Daynight was nervous.
At this moment, countless people's hearts were in their throats as they watched in shock. Would Lu Yin kneel?
A trace of pity flashed through Tian Hou's eyes. He knew that Lu Yin would be finished if he knelt, but for the sake of victory, he had no choice. This was a price that was even more terrifying than death.
Lu Yin's eyes were filled with terror as his knees gradually bent.
Countless people held their breaths as they watched in a daze.
High up in the sky, the Astral Combat Academy mentors wanted to stop Lu Yin, but Zixue was the first to appear.
Outside the arena, the contempt in Yun's eyes grew even stronger.
Starsibyl's gaze was solemn, as she had not predicted such a scene in her divination.
Everyone from Astral-10 clenched their fists, and Xia Luo's face sank.
Nightqueen Yanqing smirked.
Lu Yin's knees continued to fall, and suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind. This was the Stonewall Scriptures.
At the same time, Tian Hou howled and retreated pathetically. It had been pushed back by an indescribable pressure. Lu Yin saw the situation clearly and was enraged. He struck out with his bound hands and sent Tian Hou flying.
Countless people heaved a sigh of relief. Lu Yin had not knelt; he had held on at the critical moment.
Lu Yin's back was drenched in sweat, and he tore off his shirt as he panted heavily. He was afraid that if he had knelt just now, everything would have been over, and everything would have ceased to exist.
"Seventh Bro, Seventh Bro, did you hear that?
Seventh Bro! "the monkey kept shouting.
Lu Yin panted heavily. "I- I heard it."
"What happened to you just now?
Why did you ignore me? "The monkey was panicking.
Lu Yin sighed. "I don't know. In that instant, my fear was magnified countless times."
The monkey did not understand either. Legends were legends, after all. There were no clear records, so no one knew what kind of abilities Tian Hou possessed.
Lu Yin looked at Tian Hou, who had been sent flying, and gritted his teeth. The anger in his heart had yet to subside. The worst outcome of this battle would have been death, but this person had actually forced him to kneel. This infuriated Lu Yin to the extreme, and he used Flash to charge out and viciously attack the monkey.
The monkey's body was smashed into the ground, and his originally unconscious mind cleared up a little. When he saw Lu Yin's next attack descend upon him, he raised his hand once more. "If you want to go all out, then go all out!" There was a loud boom as the ground shattered, shocking countless students. Lu Yin was once again grabbed by the monkey.
The monkey gritted its teeth and stared at Lu Yin. It wanted to devour Lu Yin again, and no one could stop it. It also wanted to understand what exactly had sent it flying, as it should not have any natural enemies.
Fear reappeared in Lu Yin's eyes, but this time, he could hear the monkey's voice. "Seventh Bro, you're afraid again. Damn, what kind of ability is this? Seventh Bro, your wife has been stolen. Ming Yan from the Shenwu Continent has been taken away by the Daynight clan."
When he heard this, Lu Yin's expression changed, and the beautiful figure of Ming Yan appeared in his eyes. His anger soared once more, and he viciously smashed Tian Hou into the ground.
Tian Hou was stunned. Why was it useless against him?
Impossible! No one could be immune to his ability.
Lu Yin did not pursue the monkey, and he retreated a hundred meters and cautiously stared at Tian Hou. Lingering fear flashed through his eyes once more. What kind of ability was this?
It had actually caused him to feel fear.
"Seventh Bro, this is troublesome. Tian Hou's ability can deal with emotions. Even if you don't feel fear, you'll still have feelings of love, affection, and so on. You won't be able to handle any of them. Think about what would happen if Ming Yan died and Zhuo Daynight was killed by Nightqueen Yanqing."
Lu Yin's heart sank, and he looked at Tian Hou with murderous intent. It was no wonder why this creature had become a legend; it was truly abnormal.
"What do you think we should do?" Lu Yin asked softly.
The monkey was helpless. "I don't know. I just said that no one can fight a creature like Tian Hou alone. This thing is invincible."
Lu Yin did not believe in invincibility. No one was invincible, not even the Ten Arbiters.
On the other side, Tian Hou stood up in a sorry state. It had been severely injured, and it looked at Lu Yin with an abnormally fearful gaze. Not only had this person found a way to attack it, but he was also immune to its ability to devour emotions. This person was its natural enemy. His master had mentioned that there would be variables, but Tian Hou would definitely win this battle. At worst, it would just stall for time, as Lu Yin's injuries were much worse than its own.
The battlefield was silent for a moment. Neither of them attacked the other, and they merely looked at each other fearfully.
At this moment, the countless spectators heaved a sigh of relief, as the battle had finally calmed down. This was truly a decisive battle, a battle of wits and courage.
"Seventh Bro, I think that you shouldn't fight it out with him. Let's just fight to a draw," the monkey said.
"You think that I can't win?" Lu Yin asked.
The monkey was speechless. "That's for sure. Tian Hou thinks that you're immune to its ability to devour emotions, which is why he's afraid of you. That's why he didn't make a move. However, he'll definitely continue to try and consume your emotions. My warnings might not work every time, and as time goes on, you'll definitely lose."
Lu Yin was very confident in his own physical strength, but this confidence was greatly diminished when facing Tian Hou.
"What a pity. If only you knew the Daynight Restoration Technique. Then, you could've made it question its own existence and even suspect that you're the same kind as it." The monkey cackled.
Lu Yin frowned. "It won't be that easy to fight to a draw."
"Just do your best. A draw is already amazing, Seventh Bro. No one in the same realm in history has ever fought a Tian Hou to a draw. You'll make history!" the monkey exclaimed.
Lu Yin sneered. "Since I'm going to make history, I might as well make it bigger and beat it."
"You're daydreaming." The monkey did not believe him.
"Can't it devour emotions?
Then find something that doesn't have any emotions to fight it. "Lu Yin's tone grew colder and colder, and as he spoke, a faint red color appeared on his body. This was the color of blood, and an iron-blooded aura filled the air.
The monkey was shocked. "That's the aura of a battlefield. Right, that's what you gained from the Heavenly Drum. You think of yourself as a soldier."
On the battlefield, only the brave would survive. No matter how cowardly a person was, they would forget themselves when they entered the battlefield and become immersed in the slaughter. Lu Yin, who was filled with a murderous aura, was like a veteran of the battlefield. He was fearless, and there were no other emotions in his eyes aside from the desire to kill.
Tian Hou was shocked, and it had a bad premonition as it watched the faint red color spread.
There was a whoosh, and Lu Yin appeared in front of Tian Hou. He viciously smashed down with his bound hands, and Tian Hou hurriedly dodged. He used a Phantom Soul Palm while attempting to devour Tian Hou's emotions. Even if Lu Yin was immune to being devoured by emotions, he could still delay Tian Hou's attack and create an advantageous opportunity for himself. Unfortunately, Lu Yin retracted his domain and firmly blocked Tian Hou's devouring.
Tian Hou was blasted into the ground by Lu Yin's attack, but Lu Yin was also struck by the Phantom Soul Palm. However, as Tian Hou's injuries worsened, the attack gradually weakened, and the damage it dealt to Lu Yin was no longer as great as it had been in the beginning.
"Impossible! Even the veterans at the border warfront can't withstand being devoured by emotions. How can you?" Tian Hou was in disbelief. Veterans did not fear death, but their emotions remained unchanged. It was impossible for Lu Yin to rely on a battlefield's murderous aura to block Tian Hou's devouring. If it could be done so easily, then Tian Hou would not have become a legend.
Of course, Lu Yin wasn't just relying on this. He also had the Stonewall Scriptures, and he had started reciting them the moment Tian Hou's domain expanded. The Stonewall Scriptures combined with his domain and the murderous aura of the battlefield, as well as the monkey's incessant chatter, had formed a resistance against Tian Hou's devouring of emotions. All of this was his own ability, and it was also the result of all of the coincidences that he had encountered since he had started cultivating. He had used everything he had in order to defeat Tian Hou.
There was no equality between people. Tian Hou was a lifeform that was invincible among those of the same level, but if not for Lu Yin's many fortuitous encounters, it would have been impossible for him to fight Tian Hou.
Now, his fortuitous encounter had given him the opportunity to fight Tian Hou, and Lu Yin did not want to waste it. He wanted to win and be invincible.
Bang bang bang …
The void exploded as countless spatial cracks extended outwards, leaving countless onlookers dumbfounded.
Tian Hou was furious. He had used all of his strength, but everything had returned to the starting point. It was a battle of attrition, and he could not understand how a mere human could fight him to this extent.
In the universe, countless people watched the screens nervously. This battle was worthy of being called a final battle, and it was even more intense than the battle between Lu Yin and Yun. It was also filled with mystery and strangeness, and most people could not understand what was going on.
With a boom, the two separated at the same time before colliding once more. It was as if the heavens and earth had collided, and Lu Yin spat out a mouthful of blood as he felt dizzy. The Stonewall Scriptures were almost at his limit, and if he recited any more, he would faint.
On the other side, the vortex around Tian Hou's body was spinning slower and slower. Tian Hou was also nearing his limit. It could not be seen from the outside, but Lu Yin could sense it.
No one dared to speak, as they were afraid of disturbing the final battle between the two.
Everyone knew that the battle was about to come to an end. The outcome of the battle would soon be revealed.
Outside the arena, Starsibyl, Han Chong, Grandini Mavis, Feng Jiu, Yun, and many others were watching nervously. This was the final battle of the Tournament of the Strongest, and it could also be considered a battle between the peak Limiteers of the Human Domain and the Astral Beast Domain.
On Firesmelt Planet in Frostwave Weave, Jenny Auna stared blankly at the screen. At her level, she could not understand this kind of battle, but as she watched Lu Yin fight to the death, she did not know why, but she felt as if she could not breathe. It was as if she had lost something that belonged to her. She did not like Lu Yin, but the more exciting his life was, the more uncomfortable she felt.
As the battle between the two neared its end, countless people in the universe were unable to take their eyes off this scene.
Pfft!
Lu Yin spat out a mouthful of blood and growled. He forcefully twisted his body and used Flash to tear through the void. He appeared above Tian Hou and viciously smashed down with his bound hands. Tian Hou's black vortex body was smashed into the ground, but Lu Yin suddenly released his hands and smashed downwards. His right hand pressed against Tian Hou's back while his left hand struck out. "Twenty Stacks, Fortyfold Shockwave Palm."
Boom boom boom …
