Invisible Light also rushed over, his eyes still closed. The moment he passed Lu Yin, his voice rang out. "Your domain is very strong. I'll wait for you."
Lu Yin's expression did not change. His domain was indeed very strong. The Trialmaster had given him the sourcebox array diagram to help him guard the pass, but there was no need for that at all. With just his domain, spiritual force, and battle techniques, he could hold back ten thousand enemies.
Bai Ling and Invisible Light both succeeded, and Liu Tianmu and Maiden did not continue fighting. Liu Tianmu directly passed through the pass without saying a word, and Maiden followed closely behind him. The moment she passed Lu Yin, she said, "Congratulations, you've improved a lot."
Lu Yin nodded. "Thank you." He was thanking her for her help in the past. This woman had helped him a lot.
Maiden smiled and continued climbing higher. They still had one more pass to face, and it was the Prime Clear. The Prime Clear was recognized by countless as the number one expert and the only paragon of the same generation.
There was a whoosh, and a huge shadow enveloped them as Cursewind appeared. He was about to break through.
Feng Liu also appeared with Cursewind, two experts from the Astral Beast Domain's Skymender List.
Lu Yin looked up and frowned. "You're so big. I can't say I didn't beat you up."
When he heard Lu Yin's words, Cursewind's eyes that contained wind and fire flared up. Then, his body shrank until he was a young man who looked at Lu Yin fearfully.
Lu Yin was speechless. Cursewind was terrified.
If this had been at the start of the tournament, Cursewind would not have cared about Lu Yin at all and would have even taken the initiative to throw Lu Yin down. Now, however, he no longer had such thoughts.
Although he had not directly faced the Junior Archer Saint's arrow, the sense of danger had made his hair stand on end. He knew that it would be very difficult for him to block that arrow. When the Sixth Mainland had invaded the Astral Beast Domain, Cursewind had also participated, and the people of the Sixth Mainland naturally suppressed them.
That arrow had been extremely powerful, and Cursewind was not confident in being able to deal with it. However, that terrifying arrow had been destroyed by a single palm strike. At that moment, Cursewind had decided not to fight with this person and to run if he could. This person seemed to be much stronger than him.
Feng Liu had not expected Cursewind to be so straightforward, and she looked at him in surprise.
Cursewind's expression was calm, as if this was a very ordinary matter.
Lu Yin felt embarrassed to attack him, as Cursewind's attitude was too proper.
When Cursewind saw that Lu Yin was no longer looking at him, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief and quickly passed through the pass.
Feng Liu stared at Lu Yin for a long time before passing through as well. Suddenly, Lu Yin appeared in front of her.
Feng Liu's eyes narrowed, and she immediately transformed into a Celestial Ice Phoenix. She froze the surroundings, and her tri-colored light was ready to erupt at any moment. She thought that Lu Yin was about to attack her.
Cursewind turned around and transformed into a giant blue lion as well. He stared at Lu Yin intently. If Lu Yin made a move, they would definitely join forces.
In the universe, countless gazes were focused on this place, and Lu Yin was considered the most active of the five Pass Lords.
Atop the Astral Beast Domain's white skeleton, a powerful beast from the older generation roared as it glared at the screen. "This brat didn't attack the Sixth Mainland, but instead attacked the Astral Beast Domain. Traitor, traitor!"
"Could it be that this kid is leaning towards the Sixth Mainland?"
At the eastern mountain pass, Lu Yin was amused when he saw that his actions had caused such a huge commotion. He looked up at the Celestial Ice Phoenix. "I wasn't planning on doing anything, but I'm tired of looking at your huge body."
Phoenix Six's large and beautiful eyes blinked, and then she slowly shrank back into her human form. She stared at Lu Yin warily, and at the same time, Cursewind also transformed into his human form and surrounded Lu Yin.
Lu Yin tilted his head.

He barked at Cursewind, "I'll give you one chance to scram. Otherwise, there's no need for you to compete."
Cursewind was furious. He admitted that Lu Yin was powerful and had the strength to kick him out of the competition, but he could not accept such humiliation.
"Cursewind, think of the bigger picture!" Feng Liu barked.
Cursewind ground his teeth, his expression sinister.
Lu Yin looked up. "What, you want to play?"
Cursewind snorted and looked at Feng Liu. "Be careful." He then climbed higher without looking back.
Lu Yin looked back at Feng Liu. "I want to know about Progenitor Wushang."
Feng Liu was puzzled. "Progenitor Wushang?
That's our Astral Beast Domain's ancestor. "
"That's right. Your Celestial Ice Phoenix Clan is related to Progenitor Wushang."
Feng Liu was confused. "Related?
Why don't I know about this? How do you know? "
Lu Yin stared into her eyes. "You don't know?"
Feng Liu shook her head. "Progenitor Wushang is an ancestor from long ago, and the entire Astral Beast Domain knows about him. Many races have legends about him, but that doesn't include my Celestial Ice Phoenix Clan. We have nothing to do with Progenitor Wushang."
Lu Yin retracted his gaze. With his domain, he could tell that Feng Liu was not lying.
The monkey had once said that the Celestial Ice Phoenix Clan was a harem that Progenitor Wushang had assigned to it. This had been said during the Tournament of the Strongest, so it should be true. Since it had been assigned, it meant that Progenitor Wushang was definitely related to the Celestial Ice Phoenix Clan. Whether it was being a ruler, a helmsman, or a slave, the Celestial Ice Phoenix Clan would definitely listen to Progenitor Wushang.
If Feng Liu said that there was no connection, then that could only mean that she did not know.
"Have you heard of the monkey?" Lu Yin continued.
Feng Liu's expression changed, but it only lasted for a moment. "Nope."
Lu Yin's lips curled up. She had never heard of it?
How could that be? He had rolled six pips and fused with the Star Devourer Protector's body, and he had obtained memories that these Astral Beast Domain participants had been ordered by the Celestial Beast Empire's Imperial Tutor, Bu Tian, to capture his Ghost Monkey whenever possible. This order had been personally issued by Bu Tian.
He stared at Feng Liu's eyes and saw a trace of panic there, confirming that the memories he had obtained were correct.
Feng Liu definitely did not know what the monkey was used for, and neither did Cursewind, the Star Devourer, or the other experts from the Astral Beast Domain. Even Crown Prince Yao Xuan might not know, but Bu Tian definitely knew.
Lu Yin did not expose her, as he only wanted to confirm the memories.
"You can leave now," Lu Yin said.
Feng Liu did not say anything and quickly flew past him, climbing higher up the mountain.
Her thoughts were in a mess; Lu Yin had actually mentioned the monkey's name. What did that mean?
Wasn't the monkey obediently serving as a tamed beast on his body?
Why was he asking her?
Was there a problem with the monkey?
Or did he know something?
She recalled Bu Tian's words from the Imperial Tutor: capture Lu Yin's tamed monkey as much as possible. What exactly was the monkey used for? Did Lu Yin know about this order?
That shouldn't be possible, as the Imperial Tutor had only given the order to a few of them, and not many people knew about it.
Feng Liu left with complicated thoughts in her head.
Feng Liu and Cursewind had just left when a cloud of smoke floated over. It was Gu Xiaoer; he had finally shown himself.
"Bro, your brother is here!" Gu Xiaoer was very happy. When he had been assigned to the eastern mountain, he had known that he would be able to pass. The person guarding the mountain was one of his brothers, the kind who had experienced life and death situations together.
Lu Yin looked at Gu Xiaoer. "Can you give me some of this smoke?"
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
。
Gu Xiaoer's eyes widened. "This is a supreme treasure of my Smokescreen Mountain Range. Back then, I used it to exchange for the first stage of the Sirius Sect's Sirius Art."
Lu Yin nodded, as he was just asking.
"It's a pity that some wretched bastard stole it and put it in his cosmic ring. It mysteriously disappeared, and Dad didn't believe him. I'm so angry," Gu Xiaoer muttered as he passed by.
Lu Yin heard this, and his eyes twitched. He looked back at Gu Xiaoer, his eyes full of sympathy. It turned out that the stolen Sirius Art had been his. What an unlucky child.
Suddenly, Gu Xiaoer paused and turned back to look at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was stunned, and he grew nervous.
"Do you think that the Sirius Sect tricked my Smokescreen Mountain Range?
Did the chip that recorded the first stage of the Sirius Art disappear on its own? "Gu Xiaoer asked seriously.
Lu Yin's expression turned solemn. "There's a chance."
Gu Xiaoer was indignant. "That must be it! Those despicable people!" He cursed as he ran off.
Lu Yin sighed. Xiaoer, Seventh Bro owes you a favor, and I'll repay it in the future.
Lu Yin looked up at the screen and saw that some people had passed by him, and there were others on the other three peaks as well. At the southern peak, no one attacked the Star Devourer anymore. This beast's defenses were extremely strong, and it was able to withstand many attacks as it climbed higher. Every step it took covered a great distance, and in the end, it was the first to break through.
It wasn't that the others were too slow, but rather that Lu Yin's victory over the Junior Arrow Saint had left a deep impression on them. Everyone was subconsciously afraid of the Pass Master, and they were afraid that the other Pass Masters would act like Lu Yin. No one wanted to be the second Junior Arrow Saint.
The Star Devourer didn't care, and its huge body rushed over as if it wanted to crush the southern peak's Pass Master Bu Kong.
Bu Kong slowly looked up and calmly watched the beast charge over.
The Star Devourer suddenly opened its second and third eyes and rushed to the front of the pass. It raised its claws and slammed down. It didn't underestimate Bu Kong, but as a strange lifeform in the universe, its arrogance and disdain for humans were deeply engraved in its bones. In its understanding, humans were inferior creatures that had been born as ants. Even if their comprehension abilities were strong, they were still limited by their natural lifespan.
Humans didn't exist that could threaten the Star Devourer.
The fact that it could open three eyes showed that it had a high opinion of Bu Kong, and this was only because Lu Yin had raised its recognition of the Pass Master's strength. Otherwise, even if it faced Bu Kong, opening one eye would have been enough.
Countless gazes shifted from Lu Yin to Bu Kong. The Star Devourer's name had spread far and wide before the Sovereign Tournament. It had devoured planets and accumulated power, and this terrifying legend had made it one of the most unpredictable powerhouses in this tournament. Even if it hadn't been ranked in the top ten, that was because the people ranked in the top ten had revealed their strength or had extremely terrifying backgrounds. Many still believed that the Star Devourer could enter the top ten.
Facing the claw of the legendary Star Devourer, Bu Kong slowly raised his hand. "The Great Reincarnation Technique." As soon as he finished speaking, the Star Devourer's claw slammed into Bu Kong's body. Its body suddenly shrank, and the violent and terrifying aura instantly vanished as if it had never appeared. The barbaric aura that had suppressed the entire southern peak had also disappeared.
The violent winds and torrential rain suddenly turned into a blue sky and white clouds. Everyone felt this way.
The most obvious change besides its body shrinking was that the six eyes on the Star Devourer's forehead had turned into two. It had returned to its childhood.
