At the checkpoint, the contestants who had barely withstood the second round of domain bombardment hurriedly rushed to the back of the checkpoint. That was because batch after batch of contestants were rushing up from the foot of the mountain. Every batch of contestants would trigger a domain bombardment. They could withstand one or two domain bombardments, but they couldn't guarantee that they could withstand three.
With a whoosh, the mountain trembled as the domains continued to bombard the contestants, sending them flying back one after another. It was a spectacular sight.
Xi Yue relied on her musical battle technique to break through the domain attacks and pass. She looked back at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin returned her gaze; it had been a long time since they had last met.
Xi Yue had a complicated expression on her face. She still remembered their battle in Astral-10's Sand Ocean, and it had been then that this man had comprehended battle force.
Back then, the two of them hadn't been that far apart in power, but now, they couldn't even withstand a casual domain attack. This person had reached a height that she couldn't even imagine.
When the Sixth Mainland had invaded, the entire Souldream Tribe had been captured, and Elder Crimson Moon had said that this person had saved them. Lu Yin was indebted to the Souldream Tribe.
"Thank you," Xi Yue said.
Lu Yin smiled. "Good luck."
Xi Yue nodded, but then her face suddenly paled. "Be careful!"
On the mountain peak, Tong Zhan rushed out, his star energy forming a sword that condensed in his palm. He thrust it towards Lu Yin, and Elder Tong's seal appeared behind him as a martial seal appeared on the back of his hand. Tong Zhan had been waiting all this time for this exact moment.
He knew that his sneak attack wouldn't succeed under the domain, but he had still rushed out just for this one attack.
At the same time, a woman rushed out from nearby. It was the same woman who had almost killed Kayze, but Lu Yin had stopped her. She had thought that Lu Yin would target her, so she had waited for this moment just like Tong Zhan. However, she wasn't here to kill Lu Yin; she just wanted to pass the trial.
The two of them had coincidentally rushed out at the same time, their strength far surpassing the other contestants.
When Xi Yue shouted for them to be careful, Tong Zhan was already very close to Lu Yin. He was so close that he could instantly cross over, but even so, the distance between them had become like the distance between heaven and earth.
Tong Zhan could only watch as he was frozen in the void. The sword in his hand had only traveled a meter when it was also frozen in the void, unable to move. Lu Yin's domain had completely trapped him.
At the same time, the woman was also trapped.
Lu Yin looked at Tong Zhan. "I spared your life in the Daosource Sect's ruins, but you're still unrepentant." He then casually waved his hand, causing Tong Zhan to spit out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying towards the foot of the mountain. Tong Zhan's organs had already been destroyed in midair, and he was definitely dead.
Lu Yin didn't care about him at all as he looked at the woman.
The woman shouted, "I'm from the Neoverse's Jade Jade Great Realm. You-" Before she could finish her sentence, Lu Yin tossed her to the foot of the mountain.
Jade Jade Great World?
Lu Yin hated being threatened the most.
Originally, he just wanted to teach that woman a lesson and then let her go. Unfortunately, she didn't have eyes. Since she dared to threaten him, she wouldn't be able to pass.
The entire Sovereign Tournament was now divided into two parts: Lu Yin, Bu Kong, Zhi Yi, and Yao Xuan. The four Pass Lords separated the participants and formed a barrier.
Looking from the starry sky, one group of people was heading towards the central pass, while the other group was charging towards the four passes without any regard for their own safety, vainly trying to win by sheer numbers.
Unfortunately, quantity could not make up for quality.
Lu Yin's domain, the infinite sourcebox array, Zhiyi's vitality, and Yao Xuan's spiritual force.
Four
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
The great force isolated half of the participants, and a large group of people crashed to the foot of the mountain.
To them, the remaining people were of no value, and they could choose to let them go or not. The ones that were truly worth their attention were the group that had already charged past them and were heading towards the Prime Clear.
Lu Yin raised his head and watched silently, constantly releasing his domain. He no longer paid any attention to the people below.
At the highest point, Emergence Mavis was the first to charge past the Prime Clear.
Not long after she charged past the central pass, her body disappeared. When she reappeared, she was already on a giant platform.
The platform was a fault of Mount Supreme. There were three such faults in Mount Supreme. The Heaven's Emergence Mavis appeared on the third fault, which was also the largest one. Above it was the second fault, the first fault, and the last one was the peak.
Emergence Mavis looked around her. The fault was huge, and she couldn't see the end of it. It wasn't a platform made of rocks, but rather a variety of environments, such as forests, seas, magma, gales, sand, and so on. The place where she had appeared was a pile of rocks that took up about one ten-thousandth of the entire fault.
The pile of rocks was like a forest of rocks, and every one of them was very sharp. They covered an area of about ten thousand meters, and outside of the pile of rocks was sand that was separated by a barrier of light that could be seen with the naked eye.
This was a stage.
This was what the participants would face next. As long as they passed through the five checkpoints, they would appear in the various stages in order. Only one person could pass through each stage, and the number of participants would be determined by the number of participants who passed through each checkpoint. This was a free-for-all.
Lu Yin and the other five pass masters had to participate as well, and no one was an exception.
Emergence Mavis was the first to reach the stage.
The next person to pass through the Prime Clear checkpoint would appear in another stage, and so on and so forth. Once all the stages were occupied, the next person would start from the beginning and appear in Emergence Mavis' stage.
This free-for-all relied not only on strength, but also on luck. Whoever encountered Prime Clear and the others would be unlucky.
Many people passed through Lu Yin's checkpoints and saw the stages on the screens. Some of the smarter ones immediately began to calculate.
There were at most a hundred top-tier experts in the entire Supreme Tournament, which meant that as long as one passed through the central checkpoint after the hundredth place, the chances of encountering an absolute expert would be much lower. The best scenario was between five hundred and ten thousand, which meant that it was almost impossible to encounter a true absolute expert.
As they thought about this, some people sped up while others slowed down. In reality, the probability of encountering an absolute expert was very low.
Everyone stared at Prime Clear. His attitude would determine the number of participants. If he was like Lu Yin and the others, then half of the participants would remain, but if he showed no mercy, then the number of participants would sharply decrease.
More and more people approached the central checkpoint.
Prime Clear quietly floated in the air with three streams of energy coiling around his body. He looked like a deity, and everyone who saw him felt flustered.
The sky was still dark, but this darkness suited some people, such as Di Fa and Hidden Weep.
Di Fa was the Bloodburn Realm's Realmling and possessed the bloodline of the Ghost Raccoon, which allowed him to see through everything.
Hidden Weep was similar to Di Fa, but Hidden Weep's power came from the Burial Garden, and not from her bloodline.
Di Fa broke through from the southern mountain peak, and no one saw him. No one stopped him, and he was allowed to leave.
He was also the closest to Prime Clear at this point.
Di Fa did not hesitate and directly broke through.
Prime Clear's gaze turned cold, and the three streams of energy coiled around his body.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
The streams began to twist, and then a stream of energy whizzed past and smashed towards Di Fa.
Those who had participated in the Mountain and Sea Realm's Five Scions of the Stars were familiar with this. Prime Clear had used this same stream of energy to suppress many people. Only Corpse Ghost had been able to force out the true power of his Three Suns Ancestral Qi. Otherwise, even Xia Jiuyou and the others might not have been able to force it out.
In Prime Clear's eyes, Di Fa was not strong enough to use the Three Suns Ancestral Qi's true power.
Di Fa had expected Prime Clear to stop him. After all, he was from the Sixth Mainland. However, he did not care. The Ghost Raccoon bloodline could penetrate everything, including attacks. Unless he took the initiative to attack and allowed himself to be caught, it would not be easy for others to hit him.
However, when the stream of energy descended, Di Fa suddenly felt a sense of danger. He subconsciously dodged, but it was already too late. The stream of energy slammed into his shoulder, numbing half of his body. His body fell to the foot of the mountain like a rock. Di Fa stabilized himself in midair with difficulty and looked at Prime Clear in shock. How could this be?
Prime Clear floated in midair and looked down at Di Fa. He waved his hand, and the stream of energy slammed towards Di Fa. It was a very simple attack, but it made many people wary.
Half of Di Fa's body was numb, and he kept dodging. At the same time, Cangqiong Old Man's imprint appeared. He was an expert with the Heavenly Imprint.
When the imprint appeared, Di Fa's battle prowess surged. However, he did not fight Prime Clear's stream of energy head-on. He only wanted to break through.
Prime Clear had wanted to experience the strength of the Sixth Mainland's experts for a long time. When the Sixth Mainland had invaded, he had wanted to participate, but he had been stopped by the general situation. Now, he wanted to stop the Sixth Mainland from entering.
Everyone had their own standpoints. Zhiyi was from the Sixth Mainland's Daosource Three Skies, and they would not intercept any of the Sixth Mainland's participants. Yao Xuan was from the Astral Beast Domain's Celestial Beast Empire, and the Celestial Beast Empire had always been enemies with the Human Domain. Thus, it was understandable that they would not intercept any of the Sixth Mainland's participants.
However, it did not matter. As the Hall of Honor's number one disciple, his duty was to stop the Sixth Mainland's experts. This was not only an explanation for his own status, but also for the entire Fifth Mainland. The Hall of Honor needed to make their stance clear.
The stream of energy whizzed towards Di Fa, speeding up and tearing through the void. Di Fa wanted to break through, but the stream of energy blocked his path.
However, the flaw of this stream of energy was that it could not lock onto an enemy. Back in the Mountain and Sea Realm, even Ku Lei and the others had been able to dodge it.
No one could fight against this stream of energy head-on, but dodging it was still possible.
Di Fa wanted to use his speed to avoid it.
Suddenly, everything in front of him started flowing backwards. Di Fa's pupils shrank as he saw the pass getting further and further away. He even saw Mount Supreme, and with a thump, his body was pushed down to the foot of the mountain by an enormous pressure.
Di Fa did not know what was happening, but the others saw it. It was a secret technique. Prime Clear had used a secret technique.
Secret Technique: Exile. This was one of the Hall of Honor's secret techniques. It could unconditionally banish an enemy, and only Xia Jiuyou had been able to break through it. The only exception was the Giant Emperor, who could not be banished too far away.
Di Fa had been thrown out by the Exile secret technique.
Many of the Sixth Mainland's experts had ugly expressions. Prime Clear had used a secret technique so quickly just to deal with Di Fa. Prime Clear's stance was clear; he did not want the Sixth Mainland's experts to participate.
He wanted to stop all of the Sixth Mainland's experts by himself.
