Regardless of whether one admitted it or not, ever since the illusory Ancestor Chen appeared, the Prime Clear lineage had been virtually invincible. Even the cultivators of the sixth continent were unable to find fault with it.
"If you want to pass, then I'll let you pass. The higher you climb, the harder you fall," Shang said calmly. He looked at Bu Kong, Zhi Yi, and Yao Xuan calmly. His thoughts had changed.
Bukong's face was gloomy. This fellow's thoughts were exactly the same as his. He was willing to let so many experts pass because he wanted to defeat those people on a higher stage. As for this Shangqing, he also wanted to do the same. Fine, let's see who is stronger.
Although Progenitor Chen was invincible, he was just a stream of air without any intelligence.
Intelligence was the foundation of a human being. It was just a humanoid monster with no intelligence. He was not afraid of such a thing.
If the Prime Clear was able to transform into the intelligent Ancestor Chen, there would be no need for the others to fight. The reason why everyone held onto the hope of fighting against him was because even if he could borrow Ancestor Chen's strength, he wouldn't be able to borrow Ancestor Chen's wisdom.
A body without intelligence was far from the power of Ancestor Chen when he was in the same realm.
Of course, even if that was the case, it was still extremely difficult to fight against Ancestor Chen who had no intelligence. Moreover, the Prime Clear could conjure more than one Ancestor Chen. That was the most despairing thing.
Just like what Shangqing had said, if they wanted to go over, then let them go. The result would be the same.
However, not all cultivators from the Sixth Mainland could go there.
Only those who were close to the strength of a Realmling would be allowed to pass, which allowed the Sixth Mainland's members to breathe a sigh of relief.
The Prime Clear had absolute confidence in becoming the sole sovereign. Since that was the case, there was no difference in defeating those people first or later. He would just trample them one by one. As long as he defeated all of the participants from the Sixth Mainland, he would be able to answer to the Fifth Mainland.
…
The excitement that had just risen was instantly extinguished. Many people felt that it was a pity that the Prime Clear lineage was no longer targeting the experts of the Sixth Mainland. There was already nothing to see on his side. The illusory ancestor once again transformed into a stream of air, eliminating a portion of the competitors.
Everyone shifted their gazes back to the eastern peak because Di Fa was about to make a breakthrough there.
Di Fa was tossed towards the eastern mountain peak by the Prime Clear, and everyone was curious as to whether Lu Yin would let him pass.
Based on the previous situation, Di Fa should have been able to continue living, but some people had dug up the old grudges between Di Fa and Lu Yin, and even the old grudges from the Daosource Sect's ruins had been spread.
Most people had never even heard of the Daosource Sect, and they only knew that these two had a grudge against each other, which was enough for them. The Little Arrow Saint had a grudge against Lu Yin, and his miserable state had caused many to shiver. Was it now Di Fa's turn?
Di Fa was also apprehensive of Lu Yin, but it wasn't that great. His Ghostly Raccoon bloodline could basically guarantee his safety, and he would be fine as long as he didn't make a move against this person. He just wanted to break through.
Lu Yin stood at the eastern mountain pass, sweeping through batch after batch of competitors. Hundreds of thousands of people had already been eliminated, but there were still hundreds of thousands more who wanted to pass.
Di Fa was very close to that group of people. He passed through one cultivator after another and headed towards the entrance.
He stared coldly at Lu Yin before shifting his gaze to Shangqing. He was filled with hatred; he would definitely not be exiled again.
As for the illusory Ancestor Chen, fear flashed across his eyes. This was the biggest problem. Once the Shangqing illusory Ancestor Chen attacked him, he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to break through. The biggest possibility was that he would end up like Jian Ru and Nan Yanfei. Their ending wouldn't be good.
As he thought about it, Di Fa had already passed by most of the contestants and was very close to the checkpoint.
Countless people were nervous and excited, as any Realmling's appearance would excite them.
With a whoosh, Di Fa passed by many of the contestants and charged towards the entrance. He didn't even look at Lu Yin, as he didn't plan on fighting. This person wouldn't be able to hinder him.
Lu Yin raised his brows in an arrogant manner. His eyes turned into runes as he stared at Di Fa. At the same time, he raised a hand and struck out with a palm.
Di Fa saw Lu Yin raise his hand out of the corner of his eye, and he sneered. He sped up. You want to stop me? Let's see if you can hit me first.
Di Fa's Ghostly Raccoon bloodline could pierce through anything. Of course, given enough time, an expert like Lu Yin could think of a way to break through it. He had been targeted by Qiu Shi during the battle at the Cosmic Sea, but it was impossible for her to break through his Ghostly Raccoon bloodline in such a short time.
Suddenly, Di Fa tripped over something. He looked down, and his expression changed drastically. Tripped?
How could this be? He could pierce through rocks, so how could he have tripped over a rock?
Not too far away, Lu Yin stared at Di Fa and used the True Scripture of Eon Evolution to weaken his rune lines.
Di Fa's Ghostly Raccoon bloodline allowed him to pierce through anything, and with such an increase in power, his rune lines had naturally increased as well. Lu Yin, on the other hand, had directly weakened his rune lines to reduce the Ghostly Raccoon bloodline's boost to Di Fa.
Di Fa's ability to pierce through anything was naturally weakened.
By the time Di Fa realized this, it was already too late. He only had time to cast an imprint on Old Man Cangqiong before Lu Yin's palm descended. It was an empty palm, and Di Fa was sent flying, crashing into half of the mountain peak. His entire body slammed into the foot of the mountain, leaving behind a scarlet trail of blood in the air.
Everyone who saw this scene was dumbfounded. This was too fast.
This was Di Fa, the Sixth Mainland's Realmling. Another palm strike, just like the Little Arrow Saint, had defeated him in a single strike.
On Mount Supreme, many of the contestants felt a chill run down their spines.
Zhiyi stared at Lu Yin. He had actually sent out another palm strike. Just how much power did this person possess?
Up above, the contestants who were rushing towards the central pass were all stunned. Who had said that this person had become the Pass Master because of his background?
Di Fa had even used a secret technique to expel the Prime Clear Branch's experts, but he had been defeated by a single palm strike. This was too terrifying.
Many of the Sixth Mainland's cultivators had ugly expressions.
On the eastern mountain peak, Lu Yin withdrew his hand. Di Fa had been too careless, and he had thought that his Ghostly Raccoon bloodline would be able to ignore any attacks. Did he really think that there was no way to deal with him?
Rune lines were the nemesis of everything, and any form that affected the universe would be reflected by rune lines. The Eon Evolution True Scripture was equivalent to the most fundamental attack.
However, even if Di Fa had been prepared, it was still useless. In the entire Sovereign Tournament, there were no more than fifteen people who could withstand Lu Yin's palm strike. Di Fa was not one of them, even if he had broken through to the Enlighter realm or was a Realmling.
The difference was too great.
The Sovereign Tournament had already been going on for more than a day, and many experts had been eliminated. Four of the Sixth Mainland's Realmlings had been eliminated. Lu Yin had eliminated two, and the Prime Clear Branch had eliminated two.
The Realmlings were existences that could rival the Ten Arbiters, and the Sixth Mainland had once viewed them as invincible existences that could suppress the Fifth Mainland's peers. However, four of them had already been eliminated before the Sovereign Tournament had even officially begun, which was a huge insult to the Sixth Mainland.
Aside from the Realmlings, many of the Sixth Mainland's participants had also died. After all, they had committed too many crimes in the Fifth Mainland, and they would be targeted no matter where they went.
Even so, there was still a group of peak experts who managed to break through the five checkpoints and appear on the third layer.
When all of the participants appeared on the third layer, the Sovereign Tournament would officially begin. Breaking through the five checkpoints was only a ticket to the tournament.
Another day passed, and the universe was very calm as everyone watched the Sovereign Tournament.
Some people had broken through the central checkpoint, while others had been eliminated.
Lu Yin leaned against the wall and watched quietly. Their mission for the four checkpoints had already been completed. Those who should have broken through had already done so, and those who had not could forget about doing so.
Now, they were just waiting for the Sovereign Tournament to officially begin.
At the base of Mount Supreme, millions of people were bustling about as they looked up enviously. They were all losers.
One after another, names disappeared from Mount Supreme.
Coco was rather busy. She wanted to treat people and give them injections, but unfortunately, no one paid her any attention. She was unlucky to have been caught up in the aftermath of a battle between experts. There were many unlucky people like her.
On the third layer, one figure after another appeared.
There were already a hundred people in Heaven's Emergence Mavis's arena.
There were both men and women, and all of them had depressed expressions on their faces.
Only one person could pass through each arena. Needless to say, it would definitely be Heaven's Emergence Mavis. Their path to the Sovereign Tournament had come to an end.
In the entire Sovereign Tournament, there were at most a few dozen people who could be considered true experts. On the third layer, there were more than ten thousand arenas, and running into an expert was truly unlucky.
Kayze, on the other hand, was very unlucky. The arena he was in was a short forest. There were close to a hundred people fighting for a spot in this arena. He thought that he had already finished, because the little white silkworm had appeared in the same arena.
Kayze had seen the little white silkworm before. Back when the Eyeless Clan had invaded the Outerverse, the little white silkworm had appeared, and she had even fought against Lan Si. She was a participant who could be considered an expert, and she was second only to the Realmling Shang Rong in the Blackblood Realm. Kayze was also confident that he could fight against Shang Rong.
The invasion of the Sixth Mainland by the monsters had caused Xiao Bai's temperament to change. He no longer wanted to compete with Shang Rong, but his power had not decreased at all. Instead, he was becoming stronger just like the others.
Kayze was helpless. The Sovereign Tournament had ended. How unlucky.
There was one more person in this arena: An Shaohua. He was also helpless, and he looked at Kayze and sighed.
They were not the only ones who were unlucky. The Sword Sect's Long Yun, the Royal Frost Continent's Che Han, and Northline Flowzone's Ah Fan were even more unlucky.
There were less than a hundred people in each arena, but the three of them had already met each other. Their greatest opponents were the Ten Arbiters, so it was impossible for them to pass.
There were more than ten thousand arenas, but there were not many that could attract the attention of the crowd.
The Sirius Sect was more unlucky. Yan Kun, who was ranked third on the inner court rankings, had met Wang Yi from the Technocracy.
To be honest, Yan Kun was panicking. Just like Wang Yi, he had come from the northern mountain and had personally seen Yao Gu collapse at the foot of the mountain. He could not understand what had happened, and no one had clearly seen how Wang Yi had attacked.
There were more than ten thousand arenas, so how could he have met Wang Yi?
The Sirius Sect's second disciple, Mu Ziying, was not having a good time either because he had met the Star Devourer.
After the giant beast had broken through the Prime Clear stage, it had returned to its original size. Its enormous body had occupied half of the arena, and it had squeezed the remaining hundred people to the other half. It was very tyrannical.
Mu Ziying was also speechless. There had been so many experts surrounding the southern mountain, but this fellow was still unharmed. The rest of them had definitely surrounded the Star Devourer, but would it be of any use?
Even if he used his toes to think, it would be useless. Mu Ziying's Sovereign Tournament had come to an end.
When the last person fell to the foot of the mountain, no one else attempted to break through. The true Sovereign Tournament had begun.
