Suddenly, Kayze's scalp went numb as an intense sense of danger enveloped him. He dodged without a second thought, but a thin needle pierced through the ground. He looked into the distance and saw that one participant after another had fallen to the ground. Their bodies had been pierced by the needle, and their blood had dyed the ground red.
The attacker was a woman with a gloomy expression. There were ugly spots on her face, but she was dressed in beautiful clothes.
Kayze dodged the attack, and the woman looked over and stared at him. She raised her hand, causing a needle to appear and shoot it out.
Kayze's expression changed. Not good, a Hunter! He quickly dodged again, but since the woman was targeting him, it would not be easy to dodge.
Kayze saw a needle aimed at his forehead, but a gust of wind swept past him and broke the needle in two.
The woman narrowed her eyes and looked up. That gust of wind had come from Lu Yin.
Kayze panted heavily and looked at Lu Yin with gratitude in his eyes.
Lu Yin stood at the pass and watched the woman attack Kayze. Kayze was one of his people, and he could not allow anyone else to kill him.
Although Lu Yin's impression of the Dire Barbarian Clan had been poor at first, Kayze had done his best to protect King Zishan's palace over the past few years, and Lu Yin had already acknowledged him as a subordinate.
The woman was afraid of Lu Yin, so she did not attack Kayze again. Instead, she lowered her head and quickly climbed up the mountain.
Kayze did not dare to stop her, as this woman was not someone he could deal with.
What an unfamiliar woman, and there was definitely no such person in the Top 100 Rankings. She was a Hunter, which meant that she had touched upon the level of the Ten Arbiters. Could she have come from the Cosmic Sea or the Neoverse?
The universe was vast, and it was not something that the Top 100 Rankings could encompass. There were many frozen powerhouses, as well as countless powerhouses from mystical regions. Although they might not be at the top, it was easy for powerhouses to emerge.
This woman was clearly one of those people.
Lu Yin did not attack her again, and instead, he looked in another direction.
More than a million participants were competing on the eastern mountain peak, and Lu Yin was familiar with quite a few of them. For example, the woman who had just been defeated was Zi Jun. She had participated in the Tournament of the Strongest and had been defeated by Starsibyl. She seemed to be from the Cosmic Sea's Longevity Squadron, and the person who had defeated Zi Jun stunned Lu Yin: Nong Zaitian.
If there was anyone in the Sixth Mainland that Lu Yin felt sorry for, then Nong Zaitian was ranked first.
Back when Lu Yin had been chased down by Blood Looney, he had only been able to escape because he had used a secret technique to steal Nong Zaitian's hoe. After that, it had been because of Nong Zaitian that Lu Yin had entered the furnace. Finally, he had discovered a method to quickly absorb star energy during the battle between Nightking Zhenwu and Wu Taibai.
If not for Nong Zaitian, Lu Yin definitely would not have his current strength.
It could be said that Nong Zaitian was not only his savior, but also his lucky star.
Every time he met Nong Zaitian, something good would happen.
It had been a long time since he had met Nong Zaitian in the fire furnace, and Lu Yin had almost forgotten about his lucky star. Who would have thought that they would meet again today? Things had remained the same, but people had changed!
Every time he ran into Nong Zaitian, he would be bullied in all sorts of ways. Actually, Nong Zaitian was not weak, and he was very close to becoming a Hunter. Even if he did not rely on any life-saving treasures, he could still easily defeat Zi Jun.
Nong Zaitian raised his head and met Lu Yin's gaze. Perhaps it was because he sensed something, or perhaps it was because he was meeting an enemy.
Lu Yin was taken aback, and then he smiled.
Nong Zaitian gritted his teeth and opened his mouth to say two words. His voice did not reach Lu Yin's ears, but Lu Yin knew that he had said: "Hoe."
Lu Yin felt awkward, and he averted his gaze. This guy still remembered it. It had been so long, and he was so petty.
Nong Zaitian snorted, and then he carefully continued climbing. He did not dare to offend Lu Yin too much. Lu Yin had once been just like him, being chased around and beaten up miserably. But now, Lu Yin was standing at the peak and beating up others. If Nong Zaitian was unhappy, Lu Yin could point a finger at him, and Nong Zaitian's life would be over.
Even further away, the little stutterer was frantically fleeing with Tong Zhan right behind him.
Tong Zhan had been crippled by Lu Yin in the past, and he had finally recovered after much difficulty. However, he could not advance any further and had been abandoned by the Tong family. Tong Zhan's main goal in participating in the Sovereign Tournament was to fight Lu Yin again. Even if he died, he wanted to die on the battlefield instead of being sullenly annihilated.
The little stutterer was unlucky, as he had accidentally bumped into Tong Zhan while dodging the shockwaves from the battle between Liu Tianmu and the maiden. He had almost knocked Tong Zhan off the mountain. Tong Zhan had not planned on attacking the little stutterer, but the little stutterer had excitedly shouted about some meat the moment he saw Lu Yin. Tong Zhan had thought that the little stutterer was Lu Yin's friend, and he had immediately chased after him.
Although Tong Zhan could not advance any further, he was still a top descendant of the Tong family. Coupled with the Tong family's battle techniques, martial seals, and imprints, he could easily suppress the little stutterer.
However, the little stutterer was not weak either. His realm was even higher than Tong Zhan's, and he was a peak Cruiser. His innate gift was speed, so Tong Zhan would have a hard time catching up to him.
Lu Yin saw Tong Zhan, but he did not care. This person was no longer worthy of his attention, and there were only a few powerhouses in the entire Sixth Mainland who were worthy of his attention.
"Meat, meat, meat!" The little stutterer was still shouting. His master's words kept echoing in his mind: that there would be meat to eat if he followed Lu Yin. He might seem easy to bully, but he was actually very stubborn. He firmly believed that Lu Yin was meat, and he kept shouting as he ran...
. and chased after him.
"Meat?
What meat?
Fish?
How dare you insult Lord Fish! "A thin figure was climbing with great difficulty, resisting the tides of Mount Supreme. She was Xi Qi, and there was a fish on her head.
Xi Qi felt wronged. "No one said fish. You heard wrong."
The fish continuously flapped its fins. "Lord Fish has never heard wrong in his entire life. It must be fish. Hurry up and find out who that bastard is. Lord Fish wants to use him as a mount."
Xi Qi panted heavily. She was already very tired from climbing, and she did not want to argue with the fish.
Lu Yin saw Xi Qi, and he also saw that fish, the despicable fish.
The fish continuously flapped its fins. "That two-legged beast is looking at Lord Fish. Hurry up and get him to come down and greet us."
Xi Qi was helpless, and she looked up at Lu Yin. He's so far away!
There were battles everywhere on the eastern mountain peak, and Lu Yin's acquaintances were everywhere.
Although he had only wandered the universe for a little more than thirteen years, he knew too many people, and there seemed to be some sort of attraction to him that unconsciously drew people closer to him.
And this was only the eastern mountain peak; there were also many familiar faces on the southern mountain peak.
At this moment, the unluckiest person on the southern mountain peak was Ku Lei. He had wanted to be the first to charge through the mountain pass with his thunderbolt and test out the Sixth Mainland's so-called Daosource Three Skies.
But just as he took a step forward, he crashed into the back of an incomparably large beast. This beast was the Star Devourer, and in his true form, he could devour planets. Even though he had not fully transformed into his true form, his body still occupied a small portion of the southern mountain peak. Many participants were pushed away, and many of them were even pushed back to the starting point.
Quite a few participants were crushed to death.
The Star Devourer looked like a mix of wolf and tiger, but his four limbs had six eyes. He looked sinister and terrifying, but at the same time, he was filled with power. Strangely, all six of his eyes were tightly shut, which made him look even more terrifying.
Ku Lei crashed into the Star Devourer's back and instinctively unleashed a thunderbolt. "Scram!"
The Star Devourer raised a claw and slapped out. Not only did it disperse the thunderbolt, but it also sent Ku Lei flying back to the starting point.
Ku Lei was stunned; when had his thunderbolt become so weak?
The Star Devourer's attack had sent Ku Lei flying, shaking the southern mountain peak and even those outside Mount Supreme.
The experts from the Astral Beast Domain were not surprised; this was the Star Devourer, a terrifying beast that could digest planets. Even in the Astral Beast Domain, it was one of the top races. If not for the fact that there were so few of them, with only one being born every countless years, the Star Devourer would definitely have a place on the Celestial Beast List.
The Astral Beast Domain was satisfied, but the others were apprehensive.
Ku Lei was the heir of the Seven Courts' Ku family, but he had been sent flying by a single claw.
On the southern mountain peak, Wen Sansi looked at the Star Devourer solemnly. What terrifying strength!
Even further away, Coco He's eyes narrowed as she looked at the Star Devourer's claw. Those rune lines were not just a sign of strength, but also something else. This beast was not simple.
At that moment, thunder exploded in the distance and tore through the void. Ku Lei rushed back, his boundless thunderbolt transforming into a spear that pierced towards the Star Devourer. A dignified heir of the Ku family had actually been sent flying by a wild beast. This was a live broadcast to the entire universe, and even the Ku family could see it. This was too embarrassing, and the beast had to be slaughtered.
At the same time, Lu Yin, who was at the entrance of the eastern mountain peak, looked at the giant screen in the distance. Although he could not see the southern mountain peak, he could see the screen, and he saw Ku Lei and the Star Devourer.
Lu Yin had a deep impression of the Star Devourer. Back when he had rolled Enhance, he had possessed the Star Devourer's protector, and he had personally witnessed the Star Devourer devouring a planet. It would have been great if this beast was only strong, but it was definitely not that simple. It could even digest a planet.
Countless people looked at the southern mountain peak and saw the battle between the thunderbolts and the Star Devourer.
The Star Devourer's six eyes were completely closed, and when the thunderbolts came crashing down, one of them opened. It swung its tail, stirring up layers of ripples that distorted the thunderbolts and repelled them.
Ku Lei's pupils shrank, but before he could react, the Star Devourer's tail lashed out and sent Ku Lei flying again. This time, Ku Lei was not as lucky, and he spat out a mouthful of blood as he was injured.
Countless people fell silent as they stared at the Star Devourer in shock.
Ku Lei was unable to retaliate.
Just as Ku Lei was sent flying, a ray of light descended from the sky, transforming into countless sharp blades that slashed towards the Star Devourer. The Son of Light had made his move, feeling threatened.
At the same time, Imperial Tutor's pupils turned into runes that weakened the Star Devourer's rune lines. Wen Sansi used the Literary Prison to trap the Star Devourer's tail, and everyone else attacked the beast together.
The Star Devourer roared, and its enormous strength shattered the Literary Prison. It roared towards the light, its voice causing ripples that destroyed the light like the thunderbolts that had just destroyed it.
The Son of Light's expression changed, as he was unable to resist. What a powerful beast!
Imperial Tutor frowned; this beast was difficult to deal with.
The Star Devourer's tail lashed out at Wen Sansi.
A barrier appeared in front of Wen Sansi, and the Star Devourer's tail collided with the barrier, but it was useless.
The Star Devourer's open eye turned to look at Wen Sansi.
Wen Sansi also stared back.
Due to the Star Devourer's appearance on the southern mountain peak, everyone had joined forces. Even Wen Sansi, who was predicted to be one of the top ten, had to join forces to resist the beast. Many people enjoyed the show, even if they did not understand what was going on.
