Chapter 500: A Legendary Battle Technique

“So are you saying that you’re the only person in the Daynight clan who’s comprehended Night\'s End, Daybreak?” Lu Yin asked while staring at Zhuo Daynight.

She nodded. “Yes, I’m the only one.”

“This was passed down by the Dayking clan, so your Sealed Cage Technique…?” Lu Yin hesitated.

Zhuo Daynight looked at him in shock. “You know about that?”

Lu Yin nodded.

Zhuo Daynight said, “I can undo that technique at any moment right now. The Nightking bloodline has no ability to enslave the inheritor of Night\'s End, Daybreak.”

“Let me experience it,” Lu Yin said excitedly. The monkey’s words had made him very eager.

Zhuo Daynight lifted her hands and closed her eyes. Over her palm, a gentle, white light flickered. After some time, she lowered her hands back down. “I’m sorry, but I can’t use it as I please quite yet.”

Lu Yin nodded and did not pressure her.

“But I can still try to let you experience it.” Zhuo Daynight gazed at him and briefly waved her hand about her. Lu Yin felt as if everything had turned white right before his eyes, and it felt as if he was in a dream, but it also felt as if he’d fallen into some kind of bottomless, white abyss.

An instant later, he sobered up while droplets of sweat beaded up on his forehead as he looked at Zhuo Daynight in awe. In that moment, he’d thought that he’d be trapped in that white space forever. Was that the fabled Night\'s End, Daybreak battle technique? Was it an illusion? He’d been forcibly drawn into the illusion and had not been able to fight back at all.

In front of him, Zhuo Daynight’s face was ashen, but she stared straight back at him, shocked.

Night\'s End, Daybreak was not effective on everyone. The stronger one’s spiritual force was, the more difficult it would be to draw them into illusions. The moment she dragged Lu Yin into an illusion, she had found herself unable to keep it going because his spiritual force was far too powerful. Thankfully, she’d undone the technique quickly, or else Lu Yin’s strength would have caused her technique to rebound and injure her again.

Both of them were shocked at how strong the other had become.

“So this is the Night\'s End, Daybreak battle technique? It’s amazing!” Lu Yin said in awe. That white abyss was something that left him feeling fearful even now.

Zhuo Daynight coughed twice and used the wall to prop herself up.

Lu Yin told her, “Get some rest.”

Zhuo Daynight nodded and sat down again.

Lu Yin left the cave and found Hai Qiqi kicking some stones out of boredom.

Lu Yin walked to another location and looked down at his right arm. “Could you sense it? The Night\'s End, Daybreak?”

The monkey grimly responded, “Yup. Nobody can get out of that. There’s no counter to that attack, bro.”

Lu Yin furrowed his brows. It was quite a surprise that Zhuo Daynight had managed to comprehend such a battle technique. The Daynight clan’s battle techniques were all able to attack one’s spiritual force, and this technique was particularly horrifying. This didn’t cause injury, but rather immersion. It was terrifying.

“Still, you don’t need to worry. That girl obviously couldn’t handle the stress of pulling you into the illusion. The gap between the two of you in terms of power is much too large. As long as you maintain this difference in strength, her attack won’t be able to have an effect on you.”

“If it wasn’t her, but rather Nightqueen Yanqing or perhaps even Zhanlong Daynight using that technique, I’d be in trouble,” Lu Yin replied.

The monkey fell silent. It wouldn’t just be about being in trouble. It would mean that Lu Yin would lose. A legendary battle technique that had been able to rule over an entire era wasn’t something that could be dealt with so easily.

Of course, there was something else that Lu Yin wasn’t going to mention; he had the Stonewall Scriptures. In the event that he was about to be drawn into an illusion, all he needed to do was recite the scriptures, and he would most likely be able to resist it. He’d already experienced how amazing the Stonewall Scriptures were. Right… He filled his eyes with star energy and looked at the cave.

At that moment, he saw the number of rune lines that Zhuo Daynight possessed. She wasn’t much weaker than Zhanlong Daynight now. She wasn’t only using this time to recover, but also to practice the Night\'s End, Daybreak technique.

All she’d done so far was comprehend a battle technique, but she already had a strength that rivaled Zhanlong Daynight’s. It truly was a legendary battle technique.

“There’s something that I need to remind you of, Seventh Bro. She’s from the Daynight clan, and you definitely don’t have a good relationship with them,” the monkey commented.

Lu Yin’s eyes twinkled as he grinned. “You’re wrong. She’s not just from the Daynight clan but also a part of the Dayking bloodline.”

“What are you getting at?” the monkey asked.

Lu Yin haphazardly answered, “Nothing.”

As Zhuo Daynight recuperated, Lu Yin spent the days talking with her while also dealing with Hai Qiqi’s nonsense. The girl had become incredibly bored and had even felt an urge to destroy the mountains.

Northgate Gang was also dealing with his own massive headache. He’d realized that Hai Qiqi held something against him, and she would occasionally go find and mock him for absolutely no reason. Actually, that was the only form of entertainment that Hai Qiqi could find on the mountain. With no other choice, Northgate Gang simply escaped. He’d rather go somewhere dangerous than to be in close proximity to this girl.

Lu Yin and the other powerhouses had gone quiet, and the various organizations had all found places where they could mine pyrolyte. There were many spacecraft flying back and forth between space on a daily basis, either transporting ore or cultivators. Either way, Planet Pyrolyte was a treasure trove within a hard shell.

After a few days’ rest, Zhuo Daynight seemed to be doing much better. The ultra-effective medication from Shamrock Enterprises were incredibly effective, and Lu Yin had bought a whole bunch of them. He’d acquired them while using the Sea King’s medal.

After she finished healing, Zhuo Daynight planned to go back to her clan.

“You’re not going to reveal that you’ve comprehended the Night\'s End, Daybreak, are you?” Lu Yin asked.

She shook her head. “Of course not.”

“That’s a good idea. The moment you expose that, you’ll probably be killed by the Nightking bloodline,” Lu Yin mentioned.

She gave him an odd look. “You know a lot about the Daynight clan. Why is that?”

Lu Yin casually answered, “I was just curious. The moment I heard about the Sealed Cage Technique, I started to get curious. I was surprised that the Nightking bloodline could be so cruel.”

Zhuo Daynight’s expression turned sorrowful as she remained silent.

“How many people are left from the Dayking bloodline?” Lu Yin asked.

Zhuo Daynight said, “I don’t know. Nobody’s been keeping track.”

Lu Yin’s eyes lit up. “Is that because they each have their own… masters?”

Zhuo Daynight trembled and fell quiet.

“If you hope for the Dayking bloodline to regain its freedom in the future, the Night\'s End, Daybreak technique could well be your only hope. If I’m not wrong, grey hair is a symbol of the Nightkings whereas the symbol of the Daykings is silver hair,” Lu Yin said.

Zhuo Daynight eyed him with a cautious expression. “You’ve been thinking too much about the Daynight clan. I’m thankful to you for saving my life, but you’d better not touch the clan. We have countless cards up our sleeve that you can’t even fathom.”

Lu Yin burst into laughter. “The Daynight clan has nothing to do with me. I’m just worried about you since I don’t want the efforts that I put forth into saving you to go to waste.”

Zhuo Daynight looked away from him and towards the cave’s entrance. “I’m leaving. Take care.”

“How are you going to explain why I saved you?”

Zhuo Daynight frowned. She’d considered this before, but she had not come up with an answer yet.

Lu Yin reached out, took a sourcebox from his cosmic ring, and tossed it to her. “I’m a Lockbreaker, and I saved you because you have two harmless, Perceptive Intermediate sourceboxes that I wanted. You gave one to me in return for my help. As for your injuries, the Que\'s Mighty Slash only grazed you, and it didn’t manage to penetrate your skull.”

Zhuo Daynight looked at the sourcebox and whispered, “Thanks.”

Lu Yin had two harmless Perceptive Intermediate sourceboxes on him. One had been a prize from the Astral Combat Tournament supplied by the Nalan family while he had bought the other one from an auction house at the Sea King’s Dome. He was giving Zhuo Daynight the one that he had bought as an excuse to see her in the future as she would definitely return it to him at some point.

A harmless sourcebox that was suitable for Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreakers was, for any Lockbreaker, very tempting, especially for those who were at about that level. Saving someone in order to obtain such a sourcebox didn’t seem like a bad excuse.

It was impossible to estimate the value of a sourcebox on just its looks, and who knew, an ordinary sourcebox might contain a treasure that shocked the universe. Nobody could know for sure. It made sense for Lockbreakers to do crazy things to obtain these kinds of sourceboxes.

“This can probably make up for the Lockbreaking attempt that I promised you before, right?” Lu Yin asked.

Zhuo Daynight immediately threw the sourcebox back to him and left.

Lu Yin hesitated. “This sourcebox is very valuable. Are you saying that it’s not enough to make up for our previous agreement?”

Zhuo Daynight seriously answered, “You saving me combined with the favor that I owed you before more than make up for what you promised me. However, unless I’m dead, I won’t use that promise. It’s become a symbol of hope for me.”

Lu Yin pursed his lips and threw the sourcebox back to her. “Take it. The promise still stands.”

Zhuo Daynight’s eyes flashed, and she offered her thanks once more before leaving the mountains.

Hai Qiqi stood outside the cave and watched as the other woman left. She then looked at Lu Yin as he came out with a snickering expression. “You’ve got balls, man. How dare you spend time with a mistress when your wife is right in front of you?!”

Lu Yin rolled his eyes. “Shut up. I don’t see my wife anywhere.”

Hai Qiqi pointed at herself proudly. “I’m your wife! Now let me go out and play, or else I’ll tell my father that you’re abusing me, that you have mistresses, and that you’re drinking and gambling. I’ll make you sound like the worst guy ever!”

Lu Yin was speechless. “Don’t do that! I don’t even have any real relationship with you. And besides, I’ve got a reputation to maintain.”

“What are you implying? Are you saying that I’m not good enough for you?”

“I can’t lie.”

“You! How dare you!”

…

With Zhuo Daynight’s current strength, she would definitely be able to take care of herself, so Lu Yin no longer needed to worry about her anymore. The next step was for him to find Zhanlong Daynight and ask him about what had happened on Shenwu Continent.

Up in the sky, spacecraft kept forming words to guide the cultivators around the planet. After the Wen clan had started it, everyone had seemed to take to the idea, and all sorts of strange messages had started appearing. One organization had even created a gigantic detection machine that they were hoping to use to scan the entire planet. Clearly, that hadn’t worked out.

Before much more time passed, another gigantic reserve of pyrolyte ore was found to the northeast of the mountains where Northline Flowzone was based. It was probably going to be taken over by the Daynight clan.

Northgate Gang returned, and he looked serious. He went straight to Lu Yin and told him something terrible. A lot of organizations were forcing older Explorers to lower their power levels in order to obtain more pyrolyte.

Lu Yin turned serious as well. The major organizations had no lack of Explorers. The moment such people lowered their power levels, they’d become Limiteers, but their battle power would generally still be higher than a Limiteers’. These groups were truly going all out. It seemed that there was much more pyrolyte ore on this planet than had originally been anticipated.
