## Storyline

Although Nightking Zhenwu doesn't appear during Lu Yin's early stages of cultivation, Nightking Zhenwu's influence and impact had numerously impended Lu Yin's progression. Lu Yin had participated in the Astral Combat Tournament and revealed the fact that he was immuned to spirtual attacks, making him a nemesis towards the Daynight Clan. Nightking Zhenwu had Nightqueen Yanqing to try to defeat Lu Yin which she was unsuccessful, but caused Lu Yin to be within Zhenwu's radar. Although Zhenwu Nightking doesn't regard Lu Yin as anyone worthy of his attention, he doesn't mind giving Lu Yin a hard time just because Lu Yin had touched upon the Daynight clan's dignity and can resist spiritual attacks.

Nightking Zhenwu had given permission for Nightqueen Yanqing to attack Lu Yin through the Great Yu Empire but due to the interference of Nightking Yuanjing with Lu Yin provided information on the Third Nightking, this was unsuccessful and delayed. Nightking Zhenwu debuted with the arrestment of Shui Chuanxiao for his collusion with the other territories and causing the loss at the Endless Weave, which Zhenwu earned 10 Honor points for this.

Nightking Zhenwu had secretly kept the Fireplume Tribe under his control and used their innate voice and ability to improve his cultivation. Ruthless and heartless, he has sacrificed many of the Fireplume tribes, killing thousands of them just to gain their heart's blood to bind them to him. He had tricked the Fireplume Princess Ellen Gale into falling in love with him, which although she recognizes that he is evil, she is unable to stop herself from liking him, so she blinded herself in order to not see him. She alongside her other sisters had continued to sing for Nightking Zhenwu.

During one occasion, Wendy Yushan had entered the Daosource Sect ruins and was severely injured by Zhenwu to the point where Wendy had to hide within the ruins until the time ran out, and the only reason why he attacked Wendy ruthlessly was because he felt like it and he knew Wendy had a connection to Lu Yin.

During a battle between Realmlings and the Ten Arbiters at the Daosource Sect ruins for a Progenitor's inheritance jade stone, it had landed upon Lu Yin's hands. Zhenwu Nightking didn't mind eliminating Lu Yin in order to obtain the jade stone, as he wishes to acquire it and recognized it was Lu Yin. In order to not allow Nightking Zhenwu to obtain the inheritance, Lu Yin destroyed the relic, much to the annoyance of Nightking Zhenwu.

During the contention between the Fifth Mainland and the Sixth Mainland for the Champions' Stage, Lu Yin had managed to by chance obtain the Champions' Stage but was discovered by Nightking Zhenwu. Nightking Zhenwu offered the last chance for Lu Yin to submit to him, as Lu Yin had been overwhelming beaten. Lu Yin declined, and Nightking Zhenwu attacked Lu Yin with the secret technique of the Arrow Progenitor: Heart Seeker, which fatally wounded Lu Yin. Zhuo Daynight casted the ultimate technique of Night's End, Daybreak on Nightking Zhenwu, which hindered his advancement but Nightking Zhenwu managed to resist the illusion. As an offer for the Night's End, Daybreak, Zhuo Daynight surrendered to Nightking Zhenwu in return for Lu Yin being able to escape and Nightking Zhenwu not to chase.

Nightking Zhenwu obtained the Champions' Stage back from the Sixth Mainland and claimed that Lu Yin was a traitor who tried to steal it and gift it to the Sixth Mainland, slandering his name.Originally other powers and Yuan Shi made Hall of Honor to drop Nightking's allegations that Lu Yin is a traitor. But later, NightKing Zhenwu reaffirmed his claim by paying with his 20 honor points. So, with the connection between the Innerverse and Outerverse back, Lu Yin made his way to the Evernight City capital of the Daynight Clan, in order to return the inheritance stone of the Daynight clan that he had swiped with the Yu Secret Technique, in return, Zhenwu's accusation of Lu Yin being a traitor charges be dropped.

Nightking Zhenwu had become the Leader of the Ten Arbiters in order to contest the Neoverse's youths for a position of the Astral Tower, hosted a feast which Lu Yin attended. With the feast being held, he had decided to slaughter all of the Dayking bloodline with Lu Yin battling Nightking Zhenwu in order to protect Zhuo Daynight. The Leon's Armada commanded the pirates of the Innerverse to engage in warfare against the Daynight Clan at this time, as well as Lu Yin's connection between the Outerverse and Innerverse hindering the Daynight Clan's allies. The battle between Lu Yin and Nightking Zhenwu had drawn to a conclusion, with Lu Yin severing both arms of Zhenwu and the Patriach of the Daynight Clan being stopped by Highsage Shenwei. With the strike and kick from Lu Yin, had ended an era; Nightking Zhenwu's era.
