Lulu nodded and flew off into the distance with Coco.
Along the way, Lu Yin activated his gadget and saw few cultivators outside of the beasts. Those who survived all had looks of despair on their faces, not having the confidence to continue.
Once the sun experienced winter and heat once more, the trio finally saw the light beam that connected the heavens and the earth. "We're here, that's the end," Coco said excitedly, her face flushed red.
The Astral Combat Academy was the greatest academy in the universe. How many would emerge victorious from the trials of millions of people?
How strong were they?
He was looking forward to it.
There were a total of three Sentinel paths, and at the end of one where the sun scorched the earth and the light beam connected the heavens and the earth, dozens of Sentinels stared in shock at a giant beast in front of them. No, it wasn't a beast, but a sylvan dragon.
In the universe, humans lived in a Astral Domain, and the astral beasts similarly had their own Astral Domain. The sylvan dragon was a branch of the astral beasts' Astral Domain's dragon race, but it had defected to the humans after a war.
It had the horns of a deer, the body of a snake, the eyes of a rabbit, and the ears of a cow. It also had sharp claws and two large wings on either side of its head that glowed a dark red. At its tail was a meatball covered in tough armor. Its gaze was cruel and filled with a ferocious aura that made one shudder.
"What, what is that thing?" someone cried out in fear.
Everyone else was at a loss; the sylvan dragon was from the Innerverse and had defected from the astral beasts. Few people in the Outerverse knew about it.
Sensing the dragon's terrifying aura, all the cultivators stopped in their tracks.
Suddenly, two figures rushed towards the light beam, attempting to get past the dragon.
The dragon's ferocious and cruel gaze suddenly turned ferocious as its massive body suddenly split into two. Two loud bangs rang out as the two cultivators were sent flying. One of them was directly split into two, blood splattering all over the ground.
Everyone gasped at the absolute speed of the beast. Although it was huge, its speed was incomparably terrifying.
"Ant-like humans, this path is blocked. Scram!" the dragon roared, causing a huge storm to erupt.
The dozens of Sentinels were unwilling to give up. They had finally reached the end, enduring the terrible weather, beast tides, and three attacks from the void; they didn't want to give up.
"Everyone, charge! He's also a Sentinel, I don't believe he can stop all of us!" someone shouted in a provocative tone. The next moment, dozens of Sentinels gritted their teeth and charged towards the beam as quickly as they could.
The dragon roared angrily, its huge body splitting into two and then three to completely cut off the path of the beam of light. An earth-shattering boom accompanied the violent bombardment, forcing the figures back one by one. None of the Sentinels who could make it here were simple, and all of them had powerful battle techniques. However, it was useless against the dragon; their attacks were simply not enough to defeat it.
The sylvan dragon roared at the sky, its tough claws stained with blood as it repelled all of the Sentinels, guarding the end with its own strength.
"Humans, you will not pass," the dragon raised its head proudly, its claws tearing through the ground as it extended forward. There were dozens of pale-faced Sentinels there.
Suddenly, a flash of silver streaked past, stunning the dragon. By the time it reacted, a figure had stepped into the beam of light and disappeared with a wave of his hand.
No one had expected someone to be able to pass through the dragon without leaving a trace. It was like the wind blowing through leaves, but the moment the leaves rustled, the wind had already disappeared.
The dragon stared blankly at the beam of light before roaring angrily. This was a disgrace; someone had actually managed to pass through its defenses. However, that person had already left, and there was nothing it could do. It could only glare ferociously at the others and stop them from passing.
At the end of the final Sentinel path stood a man who was half machine and half flesh. His name was Manko, and he was from the Ross Empire of the Innerverse. The Ross Empire claimed to have inherited ancient technology, and their goal was to mechanize humans to achieve immortality. The powerhouses of the empire weren't complete cultivators, but rather a combination of mechanical technology and cultivation.
Manko's group of Sentinels couldn't pass through, but the dragon was even more difficult to deal with. His technological weapons were omnipresent, and he had sealed off an entire region.
His weapons were all Sentinel attacks, so they weren't considered cheating. Even the Astral Combat Academy couldn't do anything to him.
Sizzle!
Purple waves of air swept across the land, vaporizing the surface and forcing dozens of Sentinels to retreat.
Manko had built a defensive fortress at the end of the path, using the heat of the sun to create a terrifying attack that would kill ordinary Sentinels upon contact.
"Give up, the Astral Combat Academy isn't something you Outerverse trash can come into contact with," Manko said arrogantly. This was the arrogance of the Innerverse; they looked down on the Outerverse.
All the Sentinels gritted their teeth in anger, but there was nothing they could do as they looked at the fortress of technology in front of them.
At that moment, a figure streaked across the sky, charging towards the end of the path with an ancient sword beneath his feet.
Manko had wanted to stop him, but his expression changed the moment he saw the figure. He held himself back and allowed the figure to pass through, entering the beam of light. "Someone from the Myriad Swords Peak?
Why are they in Astral-10? "
The trio reached the end of the path and felt the scorching heat. Archino was like a wall in front of them, preventing all the Sentinels from passing through.
Lu Yin quickly asked around and looked at Archino in shock. The Blaze Realm?
He'd heard of them before, but why were they blocking the path?
Did they not want Astral-10 to take in new students?
Bang!
Lulu bumped her fists together and looked at Archino excitedly, "The Blaze Realm! I didn't think I'd meet someone from there here. Interesting, leave this to me!" She then leapt up and shot past dozens of Sentinels towards Archino, punching out.
Archino arrogantly scanned the crowd; the Outerverse trash had no right to come into contact with the trial zones. He was just about to say a few words to show off the Blaze Realm's power when a green figure suddenly appeared in front of him and punched out.
Which idiot dared to provoke the Blaze Realm?
Archino was furious and showed no mercy, igniting the ground with a blazing inferno, "Sky-Burning Sea of Flames."
This was the Blaze Realm's battle technique, Sky-Burning Sea of Flames. Archino used the scorching heat of the sun to increase the power of his battle technique by several times. With a flick of his hand, the sea of flames swept out in all directions as if it had a mind of its own, filling the entire space with the intent of destroying everything in front of him.
Lulu's eyes gleamed with excitement as she faced the sea of flames that would shock even a Melder. She punched out once again, an ordinary punch that tore through the sea of flames and arrived right in front of Archino.
Archino was arrogant, but he wasn't arrogant. He hurriedly dodged the moment the sea of flames was torn apart. The ground was shattered by Lulu's punch, and a strong gale accompanied by flames swept up into the sky, forming a rain of fire that rained down.
Archino's eyes narrowed; the enemy was troublesome, and he didn't hesitate to erupt with all his strength. The flames on the ground burned once more, spreading from ten meters to a hundred meters to a thousand meters. The scorching heat of the sun was just enough to ignite the earth, and all the Sentinels were affected, including Lu Yin and Coco. The two retreated at the same time.
However, the sea of flames spread extremely quickly, and aside from a limited number of people, everyone else was severely injured. Some were even burned to ashes.
Lulu's gaze was calm as she felt the surging sea of flames. She raised her right fist and punched out once more, as if there was nothing she couldn't accomplish with a single punch. No matter how terrifying Archino's sea of flames was, this one punch still knocked him down to the mortal realm. The boundless sea of flames was extinguished with a single punch, and Archino's entire body was smashed deep into the ground, completely devoid of life.
Lu Yin was shocked; Lulu's fist was terrifying. This was the Mavis Family, a true colossus. She didn't use any battle techniques at all, just her fists.
"So, so powerful," Coco exclaimed, her eyes full of worship, "Even stronger than Zora. Is she really a Sentinel?"
Lu Yin took Coco and flew towards the end. Lulu stood high in the sky and looked down, "Did I go too far?"
"Let's go, we passed," Lu Yin said.
Coco nodded and looked at Lulu with admiration, "Sis, I think it's best if you don't reveal your strength. Otherwise, you won't be able to find a boyfriend."
Lulu snorted, "I'm a natural beauty, and the men chasing me could line up from the Innerverse to the Outerverse. It doesn't matter."
Coco believed her and took out a large syringe, "Sis, are you hurt?
Give me a shot. "
Lulu immediately refused, feeling that Coco's syringe was much more terrifying than Archino's.
