Lu Yin stared at Yuhua Mavis and saw the terrifying number of rune lines that had appeared around her. At this moment, Yuhua Mavis was far stronger than a second ago. So, was he not supposed to treat her as a human anymore? How interesting! As such thoughts flashed through his mind, he charged forward. “Third punch.”
Yuhua Mavis looked up. She was expressionless as she lifted her right fist and threw out a punch of her own.
It was nothing fancy, and it just looked like a simple punch, but to Lu Yin’s eyes, this punch contained a terrifying power. He took a deep breath, unleashed the strength of his entire body, and attacked.
Boom!
The sound of the impact created a visible shockwave that left destruction behind it in all directions. Many of the remaining contestants on the first layer went pale as they stared at the approaching devastation in horror. The sound alone nearly stopped some people’s hearts.
On the second and third layers, and even at the foot of the mountain, some people lost consciousness from the mere sound of the two’s clash.
Although the shockwave did not tear the void open, the force traveled through the void and into outer space beyond Zenith Mountain, causing many planets to tremble.
This was pure, simple, unadulterated, physical power, the same way Star Devourer’s physical power had affected the universe beyond Zenith Mountain.
The difference was that just a single breath from Star Devourer had been enough to affect the outside world while Lu Yin and Yuhua Mavis were competing to see who was stronger. When it came to brute strength, neither could compare to Star Devourer.
After this punch, neither of the two retreated from the other even though the air around them had been blasted away, kicking up the dust and instantly reducing the stones beneath them to powder. Although no expression could be seen on Yuhua Mavis’s face, she was completely shocked inside.
She really had not expected Lu Yin to be able to match her strength. Even when she used Infinite Power, which was basically a cheat code given by her birthright as the Treeheart Descendant, he had still managed to keep up with her. Just how did he train?!
Also, she acknowledged that her cultivation was higher than Lu Yin’s. If he was also an Enlighter, then Yuhua Mavis definitely would have lost this contest of strength.
There were no words, but two bodies pulled back at the same time before rushing towards each other once again. This was the fourth punch.
For this punch, Lu Yin no longer relied purely on his physical strength. He had not expected Yuhua Mavis to have such a powerful battle technique hidden up her sleeves, and she was not even fully human at this point. It would be impossible for Lu Yin to win with nothing but physical strength, though Yuhua Mavis had already been forced to use more than her physical power.
Their contest of pure strength had ended at the third punch. So, for the fourth punch, purple-red lines appeared over Lu Yin’s body as his nine lined battle force appeared.
Across from him, the outline of the green leaf on Yuhua Mavis’ forehead shone as branches and leaves once again twined across the surface of her body.
Lu Yin’s brows rose. The Yuhua Mavis in front of him was not just Yuhua Mavis, as he could vaguely see a towering tree with hanging branches, as though it was trying to protect her. At this moment, Lu Yin’s opponent was not Yuhua Mavis, but the tree.
He wasn’t supposed to see her as human?
Lu Yin’s clenched fist began to vibrate. This was not obvious, and most people were not able to see anything, but Yuhua Mavis could tell that he was using Overlaying Stacks. Lu Yin was attacking with both Overlaying Stacks and battle force.
Still, it did not matter. For this punch, Yuhua Mavis was truly using the Infinite Power battle technique.
Boom!
The sound of this collision was louder than all the previous ones, but the people on the first layer of the mountain had prepared themselves this time. Many of them protected their ears as they watched the battle in astonishment.
Many of the people watching ZENITH through the livestream were startled, as this punch’s shockwave had formed what looked like a tidal wave. Neither of the youths took a step back, and it appeared as though they were equal once again. However, there were a few people who were able to see that this punch had only just begun.
Yuhua Mavis had blocked the physical power and battle force within Lu Yin’s punch, and Lu Yin had similarly blocked the strength of Infinite Power within Yuhua Mavis’s punch.
But the next moment, Lu Yin’s stacks strength exploded, and one eruption after another exploded forth into an attack that pressed Yuhua Mavis hard. The image of the green leaves on her forehead gleamed even brighter, and she began to look more and more like a tree in Lu Yin’s eyes. That tree slowly manifested, though it looked like an image behind her.
Wait, that’s what it was—an imprint! Lu Yin stared at the sacred tree behind Yuhua Mavis in shock. That was an imprint, right? This one was different from what the Sixth Mainland cultivators used, as they received imprints from a powerhouse while Yuhua Mavis had received an imprint from a tree.
Could trees give imprints too?
Lu Yin was not certain that it was entirely correct to call this an imprint. It was possible that this image was not an imprint, but it did look very similar. This was the true face of the Mavis family’s Infinite Power.
The overlaying stacks of his attack erupted one stack at a time. As each stack erupted, a loud noise shook the sky, and the two combatants sank a bit more into the ground. The sky had already been torn apart by their fourth punch, but the stacks from Lu Yin’s attack extended the extent of the damage.
A thunderous roar blasted everyone’s ears, and the sky darkened.
On the first layer, many people want to escape. What the hell was happening? Were these two really human? This strength was not something that any of them could even come close to matching, and they were trembling from just the aftershocks.
At the foot of Zenith Mountain, countless people looked up and watched as the void was pushed away, causing ripples to propagate out that soon became waves. They roiled forth in layers, continuously tearing the void apart.
Countless people were within the range of the two’s battle, and they could not even breathe.
One after another, elder powerhouses showed themselves and stared down at Zenith Mountain.
No matter if they were from the Fifth Mainland or the Sixth Mainland, every single one of these elders had a solemn expression. Although their cultivation far exceeded the two fighting youths, it was absolutely impossible for them to compare to these two’s physical might.
Click!
The void tore apart before being restored, only to tear apart once again in an infinite cycle.
The fourth punch lasted for a full ten seconds. While their contest continued, the two sank into the ground. Lu Yin had used a full 250 stacks, and Yuhua managed to endure 200 of them. After that, she had taken a step back before more of the power of Lu Yin’s stacks erupted. She had been forced to retreat one step after another until she backed up dozens of steps, forced back by the power of Lu Yin’s punch. Finally, she was completely blown away, flying through the air as the final bit of power from Lu Yin’s punch threw her off into the distance.
One punch had lasted for ten seconds, and when it was finally over, Yuhua Mavis had been knocked a hundred meters back. Her face was pale, and she was panting heavily.
Lu Yin slowly flew into the air and returned to the battlefield. His right fist was red. He had not expected Yuhua Mavis to endure nearly all 250 stacks. That had been a full 250 stacks, and not even the Ten Arbiters’ Divine Fist, who was known for his expertise in the Overlaying Stacks Path, was capable of unleashing such an attack. Even if a person had no other power, just being capable of unleashing 250 stacks would be enough for them to become one of the Ten Arbiters.
Out of everyone in ZENITH, there were definitely fewer than ten people who could receive the punch that Lu Yin had just thrown.
If Lu Yin had been up against Lan Si, then the Arbiter would not have been able to even save his own life from this attack.
Drip.
Drip.
Blood dripped down from Yuhua Mavis’s fist. She had been injured, and her right hand had been completely shattered. Bones could be seen piercing through her skin, and it had to be excruciatingly painful. Still, compared to the physical pain, it would hurt Yuhua Mavis even more to lose to Lu Yin in a contest of strength.
She had even revealed her true strength, but she had still lost.
This kid was an absolute monster.
The members of the Mavis family had been referred to as monsters for a long time, and the Treeheart Descendants had been referred to as monsters even by the inheritors of the Neoverse’s other top powers. But never had a Treeheart Descendant referred to one of their peers as a monster, and not even Shang Qing qualified. After all, Shang Qing’s invincibility stemmed from Progenitor Chen, which meant that Progenitor Chen was the invincible power, not Shang Qing.
Lu Yin was the first person that Yuhua Mavis had ever recognized as a monster, and this punch had fully convinced her of his strength.
Zenith Mountain had fallen silent, as everyone could see that Yuhua Mavis had lost.
Outside Zenith Mountain, Qin Mavis looked absolutely terrible. The legend of the Mavis family’s Treeheart Descendants’ invincibility had been shattered. Qin Mavis wanted to ask someone what kind of freak Lu Yin was—was it even possible for a human to achieve such a ridiculous level of strength?
Mu En was shocked. “This outcome is very unexpected.”
Star Devourer woke up. The attack from Progenitor Chen’s knife had not killed the beast, only badly injured him.
He had seen the last punch, and it had sparked a strong desire to fight within him. He wanted to face someone and compete with them in strength, but unfortunately, Star Devourer had already lost.
These two humans were definitely inferior to him when it came to brute force, and Star Devourer was confident that he would be able to overpower them with pure strength, but the way that they utilized their strength was amazing. One had been as motionless as a mountain while the other had stacked his strength.
“Four punches. Lu Yin, we’ve compared our strength, and you’ve won,” Yuhua Mavis said. Her face was still completely indifferent, and her eyes were cold as she stared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin unclenched his right hand and wiggled his fingers. This woman was so cruel! His hand was about to shatter! “Are four punches enough?”
Yuhua Mavis indifferently replied, “Before ZENITH started, you said that you wanted to see how many of your punches I could take, and the answer is four. Defeat is defeat, but I’ve only lost to you in strength, and my Mavis family possesses more than raw power.”
Lu Yin’s expression froze. “Then let’s keep going. I’m very curious about the legendary innate gift that Mavises have at controlling others—the Rhythm of Life.”
The emblem of green leaves on Yuhua Mavis’s forehead gradually disappeared, and they transformed into rays of green light that wrapped around her right hand. At a speed visible to the naked eye, her shattered hand was fully restored.
Lu Yin’s eyes flickered with fear. Was this healing? The Mavis family really did have access to everything.
He suddenly remembered something that he had seen at the warfront long ago when the Sixth Mainland had invaded the Outerverse. Yuehua Mavis had only been an Enlighter with a power level of 290,000, but she had swallowed a fruit and held back Yan Sheng, who had been one of the Sixth Mainland’s imprinters. That accomplishment had left a deep impression on Lu Yin as well as a strong sense of caution towards the power and foundation of the Mavis family.
Before, he had thought that the Mavis family’s so-called Infinite Power would have the same effect as when Yuehua Mavis had swallowed that fruit, but the two turned out to be completely different.
Just how many techniques did the Mavis family have?
Green grass appeared on the ground that grew out to form massive fists that fiercely attacked Lu Yin one after another. At the same time, more of the green grass wrapped around his bare feet.
As Yuhua Mavis had said, she would use other means to fight now.
She had lost in their contest of strength, but she did not want to lose this match.
Lu Yin’s figure flickered as he constantly avoided the green fists. He glanced over at Yuhua Mavis, wanting to see what other options she had. However, even though he was keeping an eye on her, he remained guarded against her innate gift, purposefully not looking into her eyes.
Someone had once said that one could not look into the eyes of someone from the Mavis family when fighting against them, as that would be an opportunity for their innate gift of control.
Lu Yin was right to be wary, as Yuhua Mavis’s eyes had already flashed with a pale green color. However, after Lu Yin had mentioned the Rhythm of Life, Yuhua Mavis had never expected to be able to control Lu Yin in a typical fashion.
However, Lu Yin had underestimated his opponent too much. She was the Mavis family’s Treehear Descendant, not a regular member of the Mavis family.
Green fists slammed down one after another, each radiating a green light. Lu Yin easily dodged these attacks even as he moved his fingers. He intended to end this match with the full power of his Vacuum Palm, but it was difficult to block all of Yuhua Mavis’s attacks.
However, Lu Yin had not realized that everything in his sight had already turned green. From the very beginning, the battlefield had been green, and that color had come from Yuhua Mavis.
Lu Yin stared at Yuhua Mavis and saw the terrifying number of rune lines that had appeared around her. At this moment, Yuhua Mavis was far stronger than a second ago. So, was he not supposed to treat her as a human anymore? How interesting! As such thoughts flashed through his mind, he charged forward. “Third punch.”
