Wang Yi's gaze was calm. Whether it was climbing Mount Supreme or facing Yao Gu's attack, he had remained expressionless. However, at this moment, his fingers twitched, and a trace of interest appeared in the depths of his eyes. This was the only person worth defeating.
Above the north, south, east, and west passes was the central pass, where Shang Qing stood. She looked up at the screen as well. "You're much more useful than Lei Nu and Shu Jing. Do your best to climb. The Hall of Honor must be the strongest, and I hope that you can become someone second only to me."
At the eastern mountain pass, Lu Yin tossed Yuhua Mavis out and immediately faced the Junior Arrow Saint. This was the Sixth Mainland's Realmling who had chased after him for several days. If not for Xin Nü and the others, Lu Yin would have been in danger. In the ruins of the Daosource Sect, Lu Yin had fought with the Junior Arrow Saint and injured him, but Lu Yin himself had avoided the attack.
The Junior Arrow Saint had always remembered Lu Yin, and he was still brooding over the battle in the ruins of the Daosource Sect. Lu Yin's improvement was too fast, and he had already been on par with the Junior Arrow Saint at that time. Now, Lu Yin was terrifyingly strong, and the clash of power just now had caused the Junior Arrow Saint's heart to palpitate.
The more he thought about it, the more apprehensive the Junior Arrow Saint became. Anyone who could cultivate to his level was no fool. If the Fifth Mainland's Hall of Honor dared to let this person guard the pass, then they definitely had something to rely on.
The Junior Arrow Saint's gaze turned cold. No matter how strong or how fast Lu Yin improved, it would not be easy to defeat him. He had never considered that he would not be able to break through the pass, and he had always been thinking about how to deal with Lu Yin.
When he saw Lu Yin's gaze sweep over, the Junior Arrow Saint's nine-lined battle force surged into the sky and imprinted itself onto the arrow. An imprint appeared behind him, and it was the Heavenly Imprint powerhouse that was ten meters tall and looked like a savage. Not only that, but the Junior Arrow Saint's face also turned red, and his veins bulged. Scarlet blood turned into a mist that wrapped around his body, and he shouted, "Divine Bestowal!" A terrifying aura swept out and gathered on the arrow.
Divine Bestowal was a secret technique created by the Progenitor of Mystery. It could burn one's own essence blood to communicate with the Progenitor. Legends had it that some people could ask the Progenitor to possess them, and they were incomparably powerful.
The Chang Bai Prince, whom Lu Yin had met before, had used the Secret Subjugation Technique, but that person's strength was far inferior to the Little Arrow Saint's. The Little Arrow Saint's Secret Subjugation Technique caused everyone's hearts to tremble as an indescribably terrifying power spread out. Regardless of whether it was Lu Yin or the many competitors on the eastern mountain, they all felt a sense of awe and fear that came from the depths of their hearts.
That was the aura of Secret Progenitor. The Little Arrow Saint had used his Secret Subjugation Technique, and the aura of Secret Progenitor had been stirred up. This was a Realmling, an existence that was second only to the Daosource Three Skies in the Sixth Mainland.
Maiden Xin, Sword in the Stone, and the other experts from the Sixth Mainland were astonished. The Little Arrow Saint was going all out, and the Subjugation Secret Technique was only used when one was going all out. Did he not care about the Sovereign Competition anymore?
Outside of Mount Supreme, the Sixth Mainland's experts stared fixedly at the Junior Arrow Saint. Using the Secret Subjugation Technique to communicate with the Secret Progenitor was a huge price to pay. They had to defeat that Lu Yin.
Lu Yin had just clashed with Yuanhua Mavis, and he immediately faced off against the Junior Arrow Saint.
At that moment, Lu Yin could sense that the Junior Archer Saint was going all out. That secret technique placed a huge burden on the body, but it had indeed increased the Junior Archer Saint's strength by leaps and bounds. Even Lu Yin felt a sense of danger from the arrow; it was Secret Progenitor's aura.
The Junior Arrow Saint's Secret Subjugation Technique had greatly increased his strength. He had already broken through to the Enlighter realm for the sake of the Sovereign Tournament and was now on the same level as the Ten Arbiters. Now that he had used the Secret Subjugation Technique, his strength was at the peak of his realm.
"Lu Yin, we've already fought twice. In the Cosmic Sea, in the ruins of the Daosource Sect. This will be the third and final time!" the Junior Arrow Saint shouted. Nine!

His battle force twined and dyed the sky red, as well as the screens that everyone could see.
Although most people could not understand what was going on, they knew that this arrow was quite powerful.
Lu Yin's fingers twitched as he locked gazes with the Junior Arrow Saint.
The Junior Arrow Saint released his fingers, and the arrow traversed the void and shot towards Lu Yin.
The Junior Arrow Saint knew that Lu Yin had a secret technique that allowed him to redirect attacks. After learning that Lu Yin had become the Pass Master, the Junior Arrow Saint had specifically asked around and found out that Lu Yin had a secret technique that allowed him to teleport away. However, it was useless. That arrow was a chain arrow, and Lu Yin could redirect the arrow and dodge it. However, there was a second arrow hidden beneath the first arrow, and there was no way for him to dodge.
If Lu Yin could not even dodge the first arrow and decided to take it head-on, then the Junior Arrow Saint would have to face the explosive power of both arrows.
The Junior Arrow Saint seemed impulsive, but he had long since made preparations, and he was confident that this arrow would succeed.
This arrow represented the Junior Arrow Saint's strongest attack as a Realmling.
The Junior Arrow Saint had guessed all of the possibilities, but there was one that he had not guessed.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold, and he struck out with 250 Stacks — Empty Palm.
Back in the Daosource Sect's ruins, Lu Yin had only used 100 Stacks during his battle with the Junior Arrow Saint. Now, the Junior Arrow Saint had improved and even broken through to the Enlighter realm, and his strength had undergone a transformation. Lu Yin, on the other hand, had improved even more. The Overlaying Stacks Path became increasingly difficult to cultivate as one progressed, and the Empty Palm was a culmination of the Overlaying Stacks Path. Combined with Lu Yin's strength, which could even shake off a Winged Mavis, the arrow collapsed under his palm.
Not only did the first arrow collapse, but the second arrow that was hidden beneath the first one also collapsed. The Empty Palm did not give the Junior Arrow Saint any time to react, and it landed on his chest. The Junior Arrow Saint did not even have time to react, and he only knew that he had fired the arrow before his body was sent flying backwards. Intense pain radiated from his body, and the incomparably oppressive strength caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood along with his organs. His body quickly flew up into the sky, but he was pushed back down by the pressure of Mount Supreme.
The Junior Arrow Saint's eyes bulged, and he did not know what had happened. He only knew that his entire body had gone numb, and his body was cracking apart uncontrollably. This was especially true for his chest, where a palm print had pierced through his skin. His instinctive sense of danger made him use his secret resurrection technique.
Wah!
The Junior Arrow Saint spat out another mouthful of blood as his entire body crashed into the ground. He looked up and spat out another mouthful of blood. The sky and his surroundings blurred, and his body trembled uncontrollably as he activated his secret resurrection technique. His hair turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he finally coughed violently before fainting.
Everyone who saw this scene from the eastern mountain was speechless. They had all felt the aura that the Junior Arrow Saint had released, and the terror that came from the depths of their hearts caused them to feel fear. They did not even dare to look at that arrow.
If the power of that arrow was converted into a numerical value, it could exceed 400,000. That was the power that the Junior Arrow Saint had obtained by burning his essence blood and using his Secret Subjugation Technique to communicate with the Progenitor of Secrets. Even the Emissaries were shocked.
However, such a terrifying attack had been easily dispelled by a single palm strike. It had only been a single palm strike.
Everyone was silent as they stared in shock at the Junior Arrow Saint's lifeless figure. They could not forget that kind of tragedy for the rest of their lives.
Some might have guessed that the Junior Arrow Saint would be defeated, but no one had ever imagined that he would lose so miserably.
Countless people looked at Lu Yin in shock. This was the Pass Lord, one of the publicly acknowledged powerhouses of the Five Great Powerhouses. He had shaken off Heaven's Emergence Mavis and defeated the Junior Arrow Saint with a single palm strike. He had been guarding the pass.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
Those who recognized him could pass, but those who did not would not be able to pass.
This was the Pass Lord.
In the west of Mount Supreme, the older generation of the Sixth Mainland's experts were speechless. Madam Crimson was shocked; this brat was somewhat unfathomable.
Since the start of the Sovereign Tournament, Lu Yin had attracted the attention of many. What he had done was what a Pass Lord should have done. He could release, he could defend; everything was under his control.
Who could guarantee that they could defeat the Junior Arrow Saint in his Divine Bestowment state?
Lu Yin's palm strike did not seem to have consumed much of his strength. Perhaps he could unleash eight or ten palm strikes, and no one would be able to pass.
Many people on the eastern mountain were frightened, and they looked at Lu Yin as if he was a monster.
Lu Yin lowered his head and looked at the Junior Arrow Saint. The Overlaying Stacks of 250 Stacks had forced back Emperor Luo, and even the heavily injured Madam Crimson did not want to take it head-on. Madam Lan, whose power level was over 400,000, had been injured by a single palm strike. Although the Junior Arrow Saint was powerful, he could not have withstood it.
In the entire Sovereign Tournament, there were no more than fifteen people who could have withstood that palm strike.
This palm strike was the dividing line.
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes as he watched the Junior Arrow Saint's hair turn white. He had not died, which was beyond his expectations. Was this the Secret Ancestor's revival technique?
Lu Yin had been disgusted more than once. The Sword in the Stone and the Junior Arrow Saint had both used this technique to disgust him. Back then, Lu Yin had guessed that this technique could not be used without a price. Now, it seemed that the price was related to one's lifespan. Although the Junior Arrow Saint had not died, he had aged considerably and did not look like a youth at all. He looked about the same age as Undying Yushan.
However, even if he had sacrificed his lifespan, it was already a miracle that he was still alive.
Lu Yin retracted his gaze and clasped his hands behind his back. He stood there quietly and looked down.
Everyone who met his gaze panicked and did not dare to look him in the eye.
After so many years, Lu Yin had accumulated his power as the Great Eastern Alliance's Alliance Leader, as well as his invincible appearance, even these elite geniuses who could participate in the Sovereign Tournament did not dare to look him in the eye.
If Lu Yin's clash with Yuhua Mavis had shocked countless people, then defeating the Junior Arrow Saint with a single palm strike was even more shocking.
On the other three mountain peaks, many experts felt their scalps go numb.
Bu Kong, Wen Sansi, Wu He, Zhiyi, Qiu Shi, and the others all looked at Lu Yin with different expressions.
Wen Sansi was certain that his barrier would not be able to hold on, and the possibility of this happening was very high.
Shi Xing's eyes grew more and more excited, as he wanted to compete with this person in terms of strength.
Wu Taibai's lips curled up. This level of strength was truly ruthless.
Some people cared, while others did not. For example, Yao Xuan had only glanced at Lu Yin. He might have been shocked at Lu Yin's strength at first, but no matter how strong he was, his attack methods were limited. Even if Lu Yin was ten times stronger, he might not be able to withstand Yao Xuan's attack. The Imperial Tutor's mission was to deal with this person. Interesting. The mission was difficult, but it was not impossible.
Wang Yi's expression was calm. The more powerful, the better. Only then would there be value in defeating Lu Yin.
On the eastern mountain peak, many people who were attempting to break through had stopped in their tracks, as they did not know how to proceed.
The most obvious one was Nan Yanfei. He had kept a low profile and had not fought with anyone else. In fact, he could have broken through earlier than the Little Archer Saint, but he was smart enough not to make a move. Then, he saw the Little Archer Saint and panicked. He swallowed hard.
Nan Yanfei did not consider himself to be a coward, but at this moment, he did not move. He would let others break through first. He would wait and see.
