"Go down!" Moonlight Mavis barked as she charged underground.
The Flame Engineer and Bamboo Iron Pillar also charged underground without hesitation.
Villa Mistress Lian used her lotus energy to trap the heavily injured Corpse King and also charged underground.
Only Hugh Phinhas did not go down. Instead, he looked in a certain direction, which was where Lu Yin was.
Lu Yin felt a chill run down his spine, and he turned around to meet Hugh Phinhas' gaze.
Hugh Phinhas sneered, "Kid, let me teach you how to speak to your seniors." He then waved his hand, causing black flames to sweep towards Lu Yin.
Lu Yin put on his universal armor and bracers, his expression solemn.
Extreme frost whistled towards the black flames, freezing them. Yan Yan blocked in front of Lu Yin, "Back off, Your Highness."
Hugh Phinhas sneered, "You're courting death." The black Undying Bird screeched and charged towards Yan Yan.
Yan Yan's pupils shrank as the frost was incinerated. The black Undying Bird flapped its wings and pressed Yan Yan into the ground, its body covered in flames.
Lu Yin leapt up and caught Yan Yan, using the rebound bead to absorb the flames before blasting them back at the black Undying Bird.
Hugh Phinhas was shocked, "You actually have a power vessel that can absorb my attacks. Hand it over, kid."
Lu Yin put Yan Yan down and put away the rebound bead, "Old thing, you're courting death."
Hugh Phinhas laughed, "How arrogant! My power level is 260,000, not something a junior like you can contend against. How long can this power vessel protect you?"
The black Undying Bird spread its wings, causing black flames to fill the sky and darken Myriad City. It then viciously pressed down on Lu Yin.
Lu Yin clenched his right fist and leapt up, flying towards the black Undying Bird.
Hugh Phinhas's lips curled up, "Die."
Lu Yin waved his left hand and activated the Yu Secret Art, causing the black Undying Bird to change direction and brush past him. He then raised his right fist and punched at Hugh Phinhas, using the bracers to double his strength and shattering the layers of space around him.
There was a loud boom as space exploded and a giant crack extended into the distance, shocking countless onlookers.
Lu Yin's expression changed as he realized that he had missed Hugh Phinhas.
Black flames spread behind him and wrapped around him as Hugh Phinhas appeared, "Kid, you underestimate me."
He opened his palm and activated Super Flash.
The tear bomb exploded, causing a blinding light to erupt and illuminate all of Myriad City. At that moment, Hugh Phinhas couldn't help but close his eyes. Lu Yin punched out again, and Hugh Phinhas quickly retreated. Just like before, he wasn't hit directly. Enlighters had too much battle experience, and there were times when dodging was done subconsciously.
However, Lu Yin had already expected this, and he knew that it wouldn't be easy to hit him. His punch was the Daynight Punch.
The alternation between white and black was obscured by the flash grenade, and a sea of spiritual force swept past Hugh Phinhas, causing his brain to rumble and blood to flow out of his orifices. The strength of one's spiritual force was not directly related to one's power level. Even an Enlighter might not necessarily have a spiritual force that could compare to a Daynight clan Hunter's if they did not specifically cultivate. Lu Yin's spiritual force could be said to be exaggerated.
Hugh Phinhas was almost stunned by the punch, and he subconsciously used the black Undying Bird to burn the void and block Lu Yin's attack.
If not for the Daynight Fist, it would not have been easy to injure this old man.
In the distance, Tyler Phinhas saw that Hugh Phinhas had been forced back by Lu Yin, and his burning black Undying Bird leapt up in an attempt to ambush Lu Yin.
However, the Black Undying Bird was frozen by the ice crystals, and the cold air descended once more. Although it was not as strong as Blazing Flame's cold air, it was not too far off. Layers of ice crystals froze the void, isolating the black flames.
Tyler Phinhas looked over in shock, and Cold Sis appeared in front of him. "You're still ranked fourteenth on the Top 100 Rankings. Ambushing someone like you is too shameful."
Tyler Phinhas looked at Cold Sis in disbelief. "Why are you here?"
Cold Sis waved her hand, and Ice Crystal Condense swept out. Tyler Phinhas slapped out with both palms, and the black Undying Bird cried out as it collided with the Ice Crystal Condense in the air. The collision of ice and fire caused scorching steam to erupt.
Countless people dodged.
Tyler Phinhas' black Undying Bird was frozen by the Ice Crystal Condense and crashed to the ground. Cold Sis appeared in front of Tyler, and a chill swept past him. Tyler felt his entire body stiffen, and he trembled from the cold.
"You want to make an enemy out of my Dark Phoenix Tribe?" Tyler threatened.
Cold Sis slapped down with her palm. The difference in strength between Tyler and her was too great. The top ten of the Top 100 Rankings were on a completely different level, and it was enough to make Tyler despair. Tyler watched as Cold Sis' palm imprint got closer and closer, covering everything in front of him. The world turned white as an extreme danger loomed over him.
Suddenly, Tyler's body was pulled away by a powerful pulling force, and the void shattered. Cold Sis' palm missed, and she looked ahead indifferently.
Someone appeared behind Tyler: Moore, ranked twelfth on the Top 100 Rankings, and a councilor from West San Dios.
"Cold Sis, there's no need to be so heavy-handed," Moore said calmly. His body seemed illusory and transparent.
It was rumored that Moore had been an experimental subject on a certain planet in the Outerverse, and he had been successfully created by sacrificing a planet's people. He had no physical body, and his entire body was illusory. He carried the immortal dream of billions of people on that planet, and his illusory nature far surpassed that of Ghostfire.
Tyler panted heavily and looked at Cold Sis with lingering fear. Even now, his limbs were stiff.
"Since it's a battle, why hold back?" Cold Sis asked coldly.
Tyler angrily shouted, "What grudge do I have with you?"
Cold Sis disdained to answer.
Suddenly, the three's expressions changed as countless black flames turned into shooting stars that swept out in all directions. A surging shockwave erupted from the distance and swept over, forcing all three of them back. The sky, the ground, and all the buildings were instantly crushed and reduced to dust.
The intense sound was like a thunderclap, and it attracted countless people's attention.
Lu Yin's fist collided with Hugh Phinhas's black phoenix. With the help of his bracers, Lu Yin's fist was actually evenly matched with the black phoenix's, which left everyone in disbelief.
"Impossible!" Tyler exclaimed. Rumors had it that Lu Yin had relied on external items to kill Enlighters, but this person was actually able to face Hugh Phinhas head-on. This was absolutely impossible.
It wasn't just Tyler, as everyone else could not believe what they were seeing.
The void continued to split apart as countless black flames accompanied by shockwaves bombarded Myriad Cities. The destructive power was even greater than the battle between the Enlighters and the Corpse King.
Cold Sis' eyes flickered, as she similarly could not believe what she was seeing. How had Lu Yin managed to do this?
This person was at most comparable to the top ten of the Top 100 Rankings. Even Avery, who was ranked fourth, might not be able to defeat him, let alone the freaks in the top three of the Top 100 Rankings. As for the younger generation, only the top three of the Top 100 Rankings and the Ten Arbiters could challenge Enlighters. Had Lu Yin already reached that level?
How much strength had he been hiding in the previous exchange?
Of course, Lu Yin could not face the Enlighter Hugh Phinhas head-on, but with the universal armor's defense and the bracers' double amplification of strength, he had no problem facing Hugh Phinhas head-on. He was still relying on external items, or else he would not have been able to reach this level.
In terms of personal strength, if he used all of his battle techniques and secret techniques, he could at most contend with a peak Hunter. An Enlighter was a qualitative leap.
Moore looked fearfully at Lu Yin, who was fighting Hugh Phinhas head-on. This person was too terrifying. He was only an Explorer, but he could actually reach this level. What if he became a Cruiser?
What about a Hunter?
In the younger generation, only the Ten Arbiters could contend with him!
This was a true freak.
Hugh Phinhas's angry roar spread throughout Myriad City. If he could not take down Lu Yin, he would become the laughingstock of the Dark Phoenix Clan.
In the distance, a shocking battle could be heard. Saul and the Gemini Ghost were fighting, and these two powerhouses who had not appeared at the Jasper Forest Banquet were still fighting.
Tyler and Moore looked at each other. "Let's go together and get rid of her." The two then joined forces to attack Leng Jie.
Leng Jie did not care, as she did not care about anyone below the top ten. So what if they joined forces?
All of Myriad City was filled with battles.
Auffman slowly woke up, as he had been severely injured by the Corpse King's attack.
Not too far away, the Corpse King was still bound by the lotus energy and could not break free. Auffman endured the pain as he stood up and slowly approached the Corpse King.
Beneath the city lord's manor, Moonlight Mavis, the Flame Engineer, Villa Mistress Lian, and Zhu Tiezhu found Qiongxi 'er and the Specter Clan expert who had been kidnapped.
Moonlight Mavis's gaze was sharp. "Specter Clan member, release Qiongxi 'er."
The Specter Clan expert's face was calm, and his white eyes looked at the group.
Moonlight Mavis hurriedly reminded them, "Don't look him in the eye. You'll be controlled."
"The Mavis Clan will pay the price sooner or later. Today, we'll collect some interest." A cold voice sounded out, and the ground trembled. Moonlight Mavis and the rest discovered that their positions were beginning to change.
It was not just them; the entire Myriad City was changing. The ground split apart, as if something was about to emerge.
Qiongshanhai's eyes narrowed. Not good! The fortress battle form had appeared. He wanted to rush underground, but his injuries were too severe, and he spat out blood after just a few steps.
From outer space, the originally peaceful continent of Myriad City had changed. With the city lord's manor at the center, a giant circular cannon slowly rose up. The land split apart, and countless people fell through the cracks and were crushed into a puddle of blood.
Lu Yin and Hugh Phinhas separated and watched in shock.
The others all stopped and looked at the scene as well.
No one was more shocked than Lu Yin, as the rune lines of Myriad City were approaching those of Tai Mo Palace, far surpassing Elder Lohar's, and even Northgate Taisui's. If he had to make a comparison, then the rune lines of Myriad City might be approaching that of an Envoy with a power level of 500,000.
This was Myriad City's true form. What exactly was happening underground?
Starfox, Wei Rong, Angie, and Ah Mu were all together. Wei Rong's expression was ugly, and he said to Starfox, "We have to leave quickly. This is going to be troublesome."
Starfox was depressed. "I've heard that Myriad City has some secrets, but I never thought that it's actually a giant fortress."
"Don't think about it. Let's hurry up and leave. Can Endless Borders take us away?" Angie asked anxiously.
Wei Rong frowned. "We have to leave Myriad City's protective barrier. Otherwise, no one will be able to take us away." He then looked around. "There are definitely many people who want to leave. Let's work together and charge out."
