Chapter 1135: Destiny

The people from the Neoverse who were qualified to participate in the Astral Tower contest had been aware that the Ten Arbiters were powerful. However, none of them had realized that some of the Arbiters were able to directly contest Yuhua Mavis in a fight.

“These Ten Arbiters from the Innerverse are too monstrous! How did they cultivate? Actually, how do you even go about cultivating a domain like that?” Someone was racing by in one corner of the Mountain and Seas Zone in shock.

Close by, Mu Ziying’s trio exclaimed in admiration, and Yao Ji was also left in utter disbelief; was this person really from the Innerverse?

Hua Xiao felt agonized. “I had assumed that Lu Yin was the strongest of the Arbiters, but it looks like that may not necessarily be the case. This Unseen Light is even more of a freak, as it is rare to see someone cultivate their domain to such a level in any generation.”

In another place, God Qingguang and the other people from Gods’ Origin stared at the golden screens with a stupefied expression. They had not cared about the Innerverse’s Ten Arbiters before, and they had spent all of their time chasing after Jin He. Were all of the Ten Arbiters freaks at this level? Jin He and this Unseen Light were equally famous, so there should not be much of a difference between them. Upon thinking of this, a flash of fear ran through them.

God Taiyi looked at the sky, shocked. He had a solid understanding of Yuhua Mavis’s strength. The fact that Unseen Light had also reached that stage was something very hard for him to accept.

They were not alone, and Lu Yin was also shocked. Unseen Light’s domain at this moment had even surpassed what he had used during his battle with Zhi Yi. Although it had later been revealed that Zhi Yi had also kept some of her strength reserved during that fight, it appeared that Unseen Light had done the same. This was the true power of his domain, and it was no wonder why even Mister Mu had marveled at it and stated that Unseen Light had the potential to become a Progenitor.

This was the power of a domain that could predict attacks.

Such a violent clash ended up affecting the other battlefields, and even Shang Qing and Qiu Shi looked over towards Yuhua Mavis’s battle. As the youths who had been chosen to become the Cosmic Five, they seemed equal, however, in their hearts, there was a competition to be the most powerful. No matter how the powers behind them tried to stop such a competition, the five youths would absolutely pick out the most powerful of them, as only the most powerful individuals might have even a possibility of becoming a Progenitor.

The violent collision shocked countless others, and the tremendous bang caused many to look over and see how the fight progressed.

The human body was truly wondrous; once one reached the true pinnacle in an aspect, it was the same as undergoing a metamorphosis.

On one side, the battle between Unseen Light’s domain and Yuhua Mavis’s raw strength continued to rage on. From the look of things, it would not resolve any time soon.

Xia Jiuyou took this opportunity to attack Shang Qing, and he struck out with a Yōu Reinforced Palm. This attack contained a horrifying dark glimmer, and it took advantage of Xia Jiuyou’s innate gift to appear behind Shang Qing.

One flow of qi appeared behind Shang Qing’s back to block the Yōu Reinforced Palm while he waved a hand and shot another qi stream at Xia Jiuyou while the third stream was launched at Liu Tianmu. Since some of the Ten Arbiters had appeared, Shang Qing would not ignore them, and he felt that it was appropriate to confront two people at the same time. This was the power of the Hall of Honor’s First Honor Chosen.

Liu Tianmu’s arrogance would not allow for her to join forces with someone else, but the flow of Shang Qing’s qi was flying straight at her. Thus, she could either respond or leave the contest atop the golden stage.

Liu Tianmu’s gaze trembled, and her star energy formed a blade that slashed out with the Fourth Sword. The attack completely disregarded space as it appeared directly in front of Shang Qing.

Each one of the Thirteen Swords was extremely powerful, and the Fourth Sword was able to disregard space and instantly appear before the opponent. However, Shang Qing’s Tri-Yang Technique could even seal off the void around him, preventing the Fourth Sword from directly striking him. As a result, the attack was shattered by a qi flow before it could even approach Shang Qing.

Liu Tianmu moved forward with a series of light steps to directly face off against the qi flow rushing at her with the Sixth Sword, Sword of Protection.

In another direction, Xia Jiuyou was constantly unleashing the Yōu Reinforced Palms while relying on his innate gift. Each palm that he released became two, and the second would always appear from an unknown direction.

Even Shang Qing was forced to constantly reserve one of his qi flows to protect himself, resulting in the offensive ability of the other two qi flows to be clearly reduced.

It was two against one, which temporarily stabilized the situation. The two attackers had not managed to overpower Shang Qing as his Tri-Yang Technique was truly mysterious, and Xia Jiuyou and Liu Tianmu did not dare to let it touch them.

Elsewhere on the golden screens, Wen Sansi was attacking Qiu Shi. As opposed to Liu Tianmu, Wan Sansi was not overly concerned about teaming up to attack a single person, not even if his opponent was a woman.

Wen Sansi’s principle was to think before acting, and Qiu Shi was an opponent who was worth teaming up against.

Wen Sansi immediately used an eight by eight Literary Prison. Of course, he had already fought against Qiu Shi before, and he knew that this would not be enough to trap the woman. However, Literary Prison was not the only battle technique that the Wen family possessed. Additionally, when he used those techniques in combination with the Literary Prison and Starsibyl, the two managed to suppress Qiu Shi for a bit.

It seemed that, of everyone on the three battlefields, Qiu Shi was the one struggling the most, but down below, Lu Yin was aware that the Cosmic Sect’s secret technique, Star Transference, was terrifying. It could definitely change the situation in an instant.

That golden stage represented the greatest stage for the Human Domain’s youth, and on this stage, whoever managed to endure until the end would be considered the most powerful.

Lu Yin was envious, but he had already been defeated by Yuhua Mavis, and he truly could not match up against those atop the screens with his strength as a Cruiser. Things might change once he broke through to the Hunter realm, but it would not be easy for him to do so.

While everyone was staring at the battles taking place atop the golden stage, dumbfounded, an overpowering fluctuation of star energy swept across the entire Mountain and Seas Zone. Suddenly, the sky changed as an illusory tolling sound rang out across the land.

Many people turned to look in the direction where the sound had come and the resulting fluctuation.

Lu Yin’s pupils shrank. Is that?

“Someone broke through and became an Enlighter! That tolling sound—could it have been Ling Gong?” Lan Si exclaimed.

Lu Yin had also guessed the same thing. Out of everyone he knew, only Ling Gong gave off this feeling and that illusory tolling sound of a bell.

The next moment, her grand Skycastle appeared like a mirage that illuminated the sky.

Lu Yin let out a long breath. That had to be Ling Gong; she had actually managed to break through to the Enlighter realm at this time. Clearly, she had done so in order to participate in the greatest battlefield. Of the Ten Arbiters, four of them had stepped onto the golden screens, though Lu Yin had already been defeated. Along with Lan Si who was standing next to Lu Yin, Jin He, whom he had defeated, and the two others who were not qualified to enter the Mountain and Seas Zone, most of them had appeared. The only one who still had not appeared was Liquor Hero, though for all he knew, that woman might actually be sleeping somewhere at this time!

Lu Yin had not guessed wrong. At this moment, Liquor Hero was indeed sleeping as she drifted along a sea current, roaming about without stopping. She showed no sign of consciousness, and no matter how intense the battles, nothing seemed capable of rousing her.

Atop the golden screen, Yuhua Mavis looked over towards where Ling Gong had broken through to the Enlighter realm, and then she looked back at Unseen Light. “You Ten Arbiters can really surprise people. Logically speaking, the Innerverse does not have sufficient means to nurture the strength that you people possess. Did you really find opportunities to transform in the Daosource Sect’s ruins?”

Unseen Light’s domain smashed against the green fist, and he smiled. “The Neoverse has the inheritance of five Mountains and Seas, so none of you cared about the Daosource Sect’s ruins. Also, going to the Daosource Sect’s ruins meant that you would have to deal with the people from the Sixth Mainland. You guys could not be bothered to put forth such efforts, so you never knew of the opportunities waiting there.”

Yuhua Mavis felt curious. “What destiny did you obtain?”

Unseen Light had a complicated expression, and he seemed to be talking to Yuhua Mavis, but also to himself at the same time. “The Sixth Mainland does not see value in cultivating a domain, but in an ancient time, there was a person in the Sixth Mainland whose innate spiritual force was so lacking that he could not receive a powerful imprint. Even when he became an Enlighter, an Envoy, or even a World Imprinter, he still could not receive too powerful of an imprint. Throughout his entire life, he lived in ridicule, and all the other powerhouses of his generation viewed him with disdain. The Sixth Mainland’s Daosource Sect never admitted him, and everyone viewed him as a pariah.

“This person was known as Unseen Sky. I don’t know if you’ve heard of him before.”

At first, Yuhua Mavis was puzzled, but then she seemed to think of something, and she looked shocked. “In an ancient battle, there was a powerhouse with a power level of 1,000,000 who lasted for an entire day against a Semi-Progenitor. His efforts allowed the Sixth Mainland’s forces to safely escape from a trap that had been set by the Fifth Mainland. In the end, did he also manage to escape?”

Unseen Light nodded, and then he spoke with a voice that contained complicated emotions. “That person was someone who made great contributions to the Sixth Mainland, and despite only having a power level of 1,000,000, he was able to rival the Sixth Mainland’s Empyrean Imprinters. In fact, he even stood up to the attacks of one of the Fifth Mainland’s Semi-Progenitors. After that, his injuries were too severe, and he went into seclusion where not even the Sixth Mainland was able to find the slightest trace of him. He had cultivated only one aspect of his strength to the extreme: his domain.”

“And you received his inheritance?” Yuhua Mavis was surprised.

Unseen Light answered, “I’ve forgotten my name, and after I received his inheritance, I changed my name to Unseen Light. Although he was my enemy, he’s also my respected teacher.”

Yuhua Mavis exclaimed, “He was only an enemy because of different viewpoints. In the end, he was also a part of the human race, and he passed his experience onto you. In the Fifth Mainland, and from my Fifth Mainland’s perspective, this was done to atone for the ancient battle. His inheritance was in the Daosource Sect’s ruins?”

Unseen Light replied, “That’s right.”

Yuhua Mavis laughed. “The Daosource Sect’s ruins never seemed to hold much value to us of the Neoverse, and only ten futons survived the ancient battle. Thus, this opportunity was passed onto the Innerverse, but it looks like those futons managed to raise quite a few powerful people. Unfortunately, if you’ve only received Unseen Sky’s inheritance, then you still won’t be my match. There are limits to a domain while my strength has none!”

She clenched her fists, causing all the giant green fists that had been bombarding Unseen Light’s domain to suddenly start trembling. Right after that, the green color of the fists became even purer, and the sight was stunning.

Down below, Lu Yin’s pupils shrank. “Be careful...”

He watched as the rune lines of those green fists suddenly surged by nearly 1.5 times. Just what sort of technique could suddenly boost a person’s power that drastically?

The green fists smashed down, and although the first fist failed to break through the domain, it neutralized the domain. So, when the second fist smashed against the domain right behind the first fist, Unseen Light felt his chest tighten. Fresh blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, but the third, fourth, fifth, and more fists continued to hammer down on his domain.

After a dozen fists, the domain suddenly disintegrated, and a massive green fist shot down from right above Unseen Light.

Unseen Light’s entire body was smashed against the golden screen, and he could not even move.

The sheer power of the Mavis family left everyone watching speechless.

Across the stage, Shang Qing’s vision swept across Yuhua Mavis, and apprehension flashed through his eyes. Although he had cultivated the most powerful technique in the Human Domain, the Tri-Yang Technique, he still felt horrified to see Yuhua Mavis’s strength. The Mavis family’s overwhelming strength was rare, and the biggest difference between a Treeheart Descendant and the ordinary members of the Mavis family was that while the other family members had limited strength, a Treeheart Descendant had unlimited strength.

The so-called “unlimited strength” was not the same as endless strength. Rather, it referred to something from ancient times and how there was nobody within the same generation who could accurately measure the full strength of a Treeheart Descendant. Even Shang Qing’s Tri-Yang Technique might not be able to force out Yuhua Mavis’s full strength.

The Tri-Yang Technique might be able to defeat her, but it would not be able to draw out her full power. This was the Mavis family’s Treeheart Descendant.

If the Tri-Yang Technique was an unrivaled technique that could not be matched, then the Mavis family’s Treeheart Descendant had a peerless strength. In that sense, they were both peak powers.

Down below, on the surface of one of the seas, Lu Yin was shocked. That woman’s strength was so absurd that it was completely ridiculous, and it far outmatched Lu Yin’s. Was this the Mavis family’s Treeheart Descendant’s true power?
