No one was an exception, and even the five pass masters had to participate in the Sovereign Tournament. This was an elimination round.
Shangqing continued to hover in the air, looking down at the four people below.
Lu Yin turned around and headed towards the central pass. At the same time, Bu Kong, Zhiyi, and Yao Xuan all headed towards the central pass as well.
Everyone was nervous, and all eyes were on the five. Would a huge battle break out?
It was obvious that they were overthinking things, as no one was stupid enough to fight.
The four reached the central pass at almost the same time, and they weren't too far away from Shangqing.
Yao Xuan looked at Lu Yin with interest and a strange expression. This person's tamed beast was something that the State Tutor wanted, and he had thought that it wouldn't be difficult. However, Lu Yin's spiritual force had made him realize that it wasn't that simple. Although Yao Xuan was confident that his spiritual force could suppress Lu Yin, it wasn't going to be easy.
Bu Kong stared at Shangqing. He was young and proud, and even the invasion of those monsters hadn't changed him much. He believed that he could definitely become a Progenitor in the future.
Shangqing was the opponent that he was most interested in, as he wanted to fight against Progenitor Chen.
"I hope that your Three Yang Ancestral Qi is as powerful as the legends say," Bu Kong said as he stared at Shangqing.
Shangqing shifted his gaze away from Yao Xuan and looked at Bu Kong. "I hope that you guys can force out my third qi flow."
"You're saying this again. If you lose in the end, you'll lose a great deal of face. You'll lose the face of your Hall of Honor," said Yao Xuan with a smile. His appearance was devilishly handsome, and many women's hearts were moved when they saw him. He gave off a strange charm.
Shangqing looked at him. "Why are you helping the Sixth Mainland?"
Yao Xuan's eyes narrowed. This person really did think that he was the one who had taken action.
Bu Kong raised his brows and looked at Yao Xuan strangely. Help the Sixth Mainland?
Did that count as helping them?
This so-called sole sovereign was too stingy and wouldn't amount to much.
Zhiyi stared at Lu Yin the entire time. She still remembered how Lu Yin had ignored the Origin Qi. "You've improved a lot. If you're willing, I can ask the Blood Ancestor to take you in as a disciple."
Shangqing and the others looked at Zhiyi in surprise, and then at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin shrugged. "Then I'll have to let you down. I know my limits, and I don't have the honor of being a Progenitor's disciple."
"You don't know what's good for you," Zhiyi said coldly.
Shang Qing looked at Lu Yin. "With your strength, you have a chance to reach the top ten. Work hard, as this is the Hall of Honor's method."
Lu Yin frowned. He was quite displeased with the high and mighty tone of Shang Qing.
Yao Xuan laughed heartily. "The first solution? Look at everyone's attitude.
Be careful of capsizing in the gutter. "
Shangqing was calm. "I'm just speaking the truth. You will see despair."
"Nonsense. Your cultivation system isn't even complete. How can you be in despair?" Bu Kong snorted coldly. He passed by the Prime Clear and headed towards the peak.
Lu Yin shook his head and rushed over as well.
Zhiyi stared at Lu Yin the entire time, as if he was the most important person in her eyes. She followed him.
Yao Xuan's lips curled up as he approached Shang Qing. "Let me tell you a secret. Actually, I didn't attack just now."
Shang Qing's expression changed as he stared at him. "It wasn't you?"
Yao Xuan smiled and rushed over.
Shangqing looked at Yao Xuan's back and was shocked. It wasn't him?
Then who could it be?
Even he was unable to resist falling into an illusion. Such an illusion combat skill was the specialty of the Heavenly Fey. Who else could it be?
Shang Qing suddenly thought of the Daynight clan. In the Fifth Mainland, the Daynight clan was the most proficient in spiritual force.
It was just like how the Sword Sect was the most proficient in swordsmanship.
The Daynight clan's Night's End, Daybreak was a technique that had been used by the Dayking for an entire era.
The Daynight clan?
Shang Qing looked towards the fault zone. The descendant of the Dayking who could use Night's End, Daybreak, seemed to have arrived. Could it be her?
At this moment, the most nervous people were the competitors within the fault zone. The five main gates had arrived, and whichever arena they entered would be unlucky.
Everyone was nervous and held their breaths.
Bu Kong's figure disappeared and reappeared above an ocean surrounded by more than a hundred people.
This arena was located above the ocean, and there was no land, only the ocean. In the distance, there were many arenas separated by a screen of light, but they all belonged to the same ocean.
When they saw Bu Kong appear, nearly a hundred people wailed. It was over, there was no more hope. Bu Kong had arrived, so he would definitely be the only victor.
Not too far away, Lulu Mavis covered her head. It was over. This was the Sovereign Tournament, and it had been such a great opportunity. That bitch Grandini had definitely surpassed her.
Lu Yin's figure disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was in a dark cave that was also surrounded by a few hundred people.
When they saw Lu Yin appear, they were all speechless. It was over, and the Sovereign Tournament was completely over.
In the crowd, a rock rocked back and forth, and when it saw Lu Yin appear, it fell to the ground. "Master, it's not that this disciple didn't live up to expectations, but that the enemy was just too cunning." He was the Little Mountain God, and he had thought that he would definitely win in this arena, especially since it was suitable for him to fight. Now, everything was over, and he did not think that he could defeat Lu Yin.
He had been confident that he could provoke Lu Yin before the Sovereign Tournament, but after seeing how the Little Arrow Saint and Di Fa had ended up, he felt that he would be lucky if he did not get destroyed.
Zhiyi's arena did not have any experts, nor did it have any cultivators with special backgrounds.
Kuang Wang's arena was where Yao Xuan had appeared. He had actually been prepared to release his emperor butterfly grass to expel the star energy and then use the Azure Dragon to fight steadily. He should have been able to win, but when he saw Yao Xuan appear, he silently recalled his emperor butterfly grass. What was there to play?
There was nothing to play with, and it would be good enough if he didn't destroy the emperor butterfly grass and the Azure Dragon.
The unluckiest of them all was Mo Jiangxiao of the Sixth Mainland. This expert of the Mo Clan had originally thought that he would definitely win and participate in the upcoming Supreme Tournament. However, the moment the Prime Clear appeared, his heart turned cold. His path to the Supreme Tournament had come to an end.
The true Sovereign Tournament would only begin after the fifth stage. There were no referees or anyone controlling the pace of the competition; it was as if Mount Supreme was the one controlling the competition.
Everyone waited quietly.
It was not that they did not want to attack, but rather that they could not move. They were bound by an invisible force, and it was as if they were involuntarily thrown into various arenas.
When Shangqing appeared on the third stage, everyone was able to move. The true competition was about to begin.
There was no doubt that the famous powerhouses were the first to be surrounded, especially those on the Top Ten Predicted Rankings and the five most famous Pass Masters. They were surrounded by nearly a hundred people at the same time.
Lu Yin was the same. Nearly a hundred people attacked him at the same time, using all sorts of battle techniques and attacking methods. It was as if a hundred flowers were blooming.
Unfortunately, numbers were meaningless against him. As he released his domain, half of the people collapsed to the ground, and the rest could only barely hold on. Their attacks were immediately suppressed.
A round stone smashed towards him at lightning speed, piercing through the void.
Lu Yin's eyes trembled, as he had long since noticed this stone. It was not because of its rune lines, but because it was a stone.
Even an idiot would know that something was amiss if a stone was allowed to participate in the competition. This particular stone was quite famous. It was the Little Mountain God, a genius from the Beast Tamers Flowzone who had been sealed in ice for a thousand years.
The Little Mountain God was not affected by Lu Yin's domain, and it continued smashing towards Lu Yin like a real stone. Along the way, a cultivator was accidentally swept up by the wind, and his body was instantly pulverized.
Although the stone was small, it possessed the strength of a million mountains. It was a disciple that the Beast Tamers Flowzone had carefully nurtured, and it was also the successor of the Mountain God.
Lu Yin was curious about the Million Mountains, and he raised a hand to grab the round stone.
Just as Lu Yin was about to grab the Little Mountain God, the round stone suddenly transformed into a humanoid form. It was still covered in stone, and it was about the size of a palm. It had a nose and eyes, and it slipped through the gaps between Lu Yin's fingers and punched towards his face. Its enormous strength caused the void to explode. "You were careless."
The Little Mountain God had used all of his strength in this punch, which had a power level of over 300,000. Regardless of whether it was Lu Yin, the Ten Arbiters, or any of the other top experts, none of them would be able to easily block this attack. The Little Mountain God was confident that this punch would stun Lu Yin, and once that happened, he would have a chance at victory.
Lu Yin calmly stared at the Little Mountain God that was punching towards his face.
The Little Mountain God sensed that something was amiss, but he still punched out without hesitation. The punch was supposed to hit Lu Yin's nose, as he wanted to use the enormous strength of this punch to stun Lu Yin. After all, this was the strength of a million mountains.
However, the punch was still some distance away from Lu Yin. The Little Mountain God was clearly right in front of Lu Yin, and the punch was enough to land, but that distance seemed unreachable.
At some point in time, 726 stars had appeared around Lu Yin's body. Speed was meaningless in his eyes, and the little mountain god's sneak attack wasn't even considered fast. With a single punch, Lu Yin was forced to retreat, always maintaining a certain distance from the little mountain god.
To Lu Yin, this was a game, but to the Little Mountain God, this was his only chance.
There was a thump as Lu Yin flicked his finger and sent the Little Mountain God flying. At the same time, the stars exploded.
The remaining contestants who were still standing fell to the ground, all of them unable to fight.
Lu Yin hadn't used too much strength, or they wouldn't have survived.
The Little Mountain God crashed into the wall of the cave, causing it to cave in. Its body was covered in stone, and not only had it tamed a million mountains, but it had also learned the Petrification Technique that had been specially prepared for this purpose. Even so, Lu Yin's attack had still almost caused it to spit out blood.
Lu Yin was shocked; it hadn't fallen?
The Little Mountain God pulled itself out of the wall and hovered in the air, staring at Lu Yin with vigilance.
"What, you still want to fight?"
Lu Yin was amused. The Little Mountain God was the direct disciple of one of the Eight Great Flowzones, the Beast Tamers Flowzone's Divine Grade Hall's Mountain God's personal disciple. This person's status was very important, and Lu Yin didn't mind saying a few more words.
The Little Mountain God gritted his teeth. "I still have a chance." The entire cave shook as stone after stone was peeled off and flew towards the Little Mountain God.
These stones were from Mount Supreme, and they were made from Tika, which made them extremely hard.
Stone after stone covered the Little Mountain God's body, and it visibly grew in size: one meter, ten meters, a hundred meters, and eventually a thousand meters. It was like a stone giant that looked down at Lu Yin from above.
Lu Yin raised his brows. Based on the number of rune lines, the Little Mountain God was no weaker than Nightking Zhenwu. It was no wonder why it had the confidence to compete with the Ten Arbiters.
Unfortunately, Lu Yin was still a step too late. With Nightking Zhenwu's strength, he would have definitely broken through to the Enlighter realm if he was still alive. Even if he hadn't broken through, his strength would have increased, and Lan Si, Obscurus, and the others.
