Chapter 407: The Island At The End (2/2)

The boat forged across the Ocean of Death as Lu Yin’s mind replayed the image of that phantom finger and the multitude of changes that he had observed. If not for the Stonewall Scriptures, he definitely would not have been able to see those changes. Also, if not for that finger, the Stonewall Scriptures would have made him forcibly pass out much earlier. Unexpectedly, the two forces had mutually countered each other.

Lu Yin had always felt that the Stonewall Scriptures were unfathomable and that there was a great history behind it. That finger had further confirmed his suspicions, as that finger had transcended the void.

Although he could not distinguish how strong an old freak with a power level in the hundreds of thousands truly was, he had a feeling that not even they had set foot in the realm that that finger came from.

Whether it was in his dreams or at the Stargazing Deck, although he had seen that finger approaching him with the intent of crushing him, he had never seen it clearly. This time, however, he had clearly seen it, and he could tell that the finger definitely belonged to a woman and that it was a terrifying battle technique.

Since it was a battle technique, that meant that he could learn it. Just that thought made Lu Yin light up. He had observed the various changes of that finger and knew that it could transcend the heavens. Such a battle technique easily surpassed any of the combat methods he currently possessed. At present, his Cosmic Palm could not keep up with his strength, the Skybeast Claw’s power was too insufficient, and the Daynight Punch was not suited for him. His attack style had become overly simple, as he was currently only relying on the Overlaying Stacks. Once he faced a strong opponent who could defend themselves against that attack, he would be at a severe disadvantage.

There were still Limiteers who could rival him, and they might even be able to withstand Thirty Stacks, which meant that he still lacked a trump card.

That finger had given Lu Yin some hope. He was certain that it was stronger than any other battle technique. This strange, irrefutable belief stemmed from his intuition.

He had to learn it!

However, it was useless, as just looking at that finger had caused him to faint, and a dream was not something that he could manipulate.There was no way that he would be able to learn the variations of that finger in his dream.

He thought about it deeply, but in the end, he could only come up with one solution: the Stargazing Deck.

The first time he had seen this finger had been when he ascended the Stargazing Deck. More importantly, the Stargazing Deck was dependent on his willpower, and he could even use lockbreaking tools there. Not only could the Stargazing Deck show him that finger again, but it could also show him the complete form of the Skybeast Claw as well, which would be killing two birds with one stone.

Lu Yin decided to make a request to ascend the Stargazing Deck once again after leaving the Ocean of Death, and he hoped that the Starmaster would allow him to do so.

“Seventh Bro, look ahead!” the monkey suddenly shrieked.

Lu Yin looked up, where something different finally appeared in the distant scenery. It was the silhouette of an island.

Lu Yin stood up as his emotions surged; he had finally arrived.

Ever since the Astral Combat Academy had taken over the trial zones, few people had managed to reach the end of the Ocean of Death. But right now, he had joined their ranks.

As the boat slowly drew closer, Lu Yin could see the island more clearly. It was a very normal-looking island.

As they got closer, Lu Yin became more cautious, as he was wary of whatever he might encounter here.

When the boat reached the shore, Lu Yin felt that it was a bit surreal. Was he able to just get off of the boat that easily?

“Seventh Bro, hurry up! I want to see what the supposed end of the Ocean of Death contains!” The monkey was excited.

Lu Yin stepped foot onto the island, and the beach very much felt like real soil, though it was a little sticky. He squatted and touched it to examine it further, and his face instantly changed. It was blood; the soil was soaked in blood.

His face turned solemn as he unleashed his domain, covering a radius of a hundred meters, then a thousand meters. Every single grain of soil was soaked with blood, and he could not find a single patch that had been overlooked. How many people had died here?

“Seventh Bro, look. There’s footprints over there,” the monkey pointed out.

Lu Yin turned around and saw that, not far away from where they had landed, there was a set of footprints leading towards the center of the island. “Those should have been left behind by that Arbiter from before.”

“If there’s only one set, then does that mean that only one of the Ten Arbiters made it this far?” the monkey guessed.

Lu Yin wasn’t sure. He walked over beside the footprints and studied them. “It’s a small footprint. Either this person wasn’t too old, or they were a girl.”

“Probably a girl. Didn’t one of the Arbiters make it here before?” the monkey said.

Lu Yin agreed with him and then turned to look into the depths of the island. A gloomy canyon stretched across it. Perhaps he would truly enter the island after crossing it.

Lu Yin did not hesitate and moved towards the canyon.

When he just entered it, a chilly breeze swept across that caused Lu Yin’s hair to stand on end. He was just about to speak, but then, suddenly, a rumbling loud voice was heard. “This can't be, this can't be! What are you maggots relying on to kill me, what exactly…

“Five changed the sky. Five was replaced with six. Since then, a fake veil has been draped across the heavens. We won't allow it!

“The sky has changed. It has changed. We will revolt! We will massacre the heavens and turn it into a river of blood!”

…

Lu Yin covered his head and panted as he stared ahead. This voice should be the will of some ancient remnant being transmitted along with that chilly wind. It was filled with deep resentment and unwillingness. It sounded as if it was in disbelief.
