Back in the Mountain and Sea Realm, she had barely been able to gain enlightenment of the Emotion Sword, which she had used to injure the Prime Clear lineage. Now, a year had passed, and she had gained even more enlightenment of the Emotion Sword.
He opened his eyes, and a gentle breeze swept past his sword towards Lu Yin, Mount Supreme, and everyone else.
Everyone who was swept by the breeze had a strange feeling. It was as if their bodies were exposed to Liu Tianmu's sword, and that sword was hanging above everyone's heads.
Shangqing stopped climbing the Stairway to Heaven and looked at Liu Tianmu solemnly.
He was the only one who had withstood the 13th sword. Even now, he didn't know how to block it. The only thing he could do was to prevent Liu Tianmu from executing the 13th sword.
Now that the Thirteenth Sword had been completed, it was too late for Lu Yin to stop it. Liu Tianmu could bring the sword down at any time.
The outcome of this battle would depend entirely on whether or not Lu Yin could stand under this sword.
He relied on the ancestral qi of the three suns, so he didn't need to do anything himself. What about Lu Yin?
How far could he go in the rest of the competition after being heavily injured by a single sword strike?
What a pity.
Lu Yin stared intently at Liu Tianmu's sword, and his eyes transformed into runes as he tried to weaken the attack. However, it was useless. With his current level of control over the Aeon Evolution True Scripture, he was unable to weaken the Thirteenth Sword. If it had been Di He or Tai Yishen, they might have been able to do so.
The Thirteenth Sword had already been completed, and when a cool breeze blew past his face, he knew that he could not stop it. The True Scripture of Eon Evolution could not be weakened, and the Yu Secret Art could not be transferred away. Even if the Plan Secret Art could transfer him away, would it be of any use?
If the thirteenth sword could be dodged, the legend of invincibility would not exist.
Did he regret it?
Maybe, or maybe he didn't regret it. He would have to receive this sword sooner or later. Even if Liu Tianmu didn't use the thirteenth sword during the Sovereign Battle, he would still have to endure it in the future.
However, he was much stronger than Shangqing in one aspect, and that was his physical strength. If Shangqing could recover from a single sword strike, so could he. However, his battle prowess would definitely be affected.
When he thought of this, he lowered his head and looked at his heart. Perhaps it was time to use this power that he had not been able to control, but that he should have.
Under the gazes of countless people, as Liu Tianmu's sword fell, the thirteenth sword came to an end. She staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Back in the battle of the Mountain and Sea Realm, she had collapsed after the 13th sword strike, unable to continue fighting. But now, she was in a much better condition. So, what about Lu Yin?
At this thought, countless people looked at Lu Yin.
Shangqing's eyes narrowed, as he had personally experienced this sword attack. He could not see it, nor could he dodge it. It all depended on how severe Lu Yin's injuries were.
Everyone stared at Lu Yin, and even Lu Yin stared at himself. Was it over?
Is the thirteenth sword finished?
Are you sure?
Why couldn't he feel anything?
Lu Yin panicked and touched his neck, then his arms. There was nothing wrong with his body. He looked at Liu Tianmu in confusion.
Liu Tianmu was also met with a confused look. She had finished her attack, and she was absolutely certain that the thirteenth sword had struck Lu Yin's heart. But what had happened?
This person had no reaction at all. Was his heart fine?
The two of them looked at each other blankly. One of them was sure that he was done, and the other was sure that he was fine. This was a contradiction.
"You're done?" Lu Yin asked uncertainly.
"Are you alright?" Liu Tianmu was confused.
Lu Yin raised a brow. "Are you really done?"
"Are you really okay?"
Liu Tianmu asked as well. Ever since she had been born, she had always been high and mighty. She was the senior disciple of the Sword Sect and had mastered the Thirteen Swords. Her innate talent was unparalleled, but she was one of the Ten Arbiters and had the authority to kill countless people.
She had never been as confused as she was now. Even when she had seen the true face of the ancestral qi of the three suns in the Mountain and Sea Realm, she had not lost her composure. Lu Yin's condition had toppled her worldview.
If even Liu Tianmu's worldview had been toppled, then there was no need to talk about the others.
"Is the thirteenth sword done?
No way. "
"Yes, Mu Jue said so."
"But why is Lu Yin fine? His clothes aren't even wrinkled. This doesn't make sense."
"Bro, are you serious about talking about science at a time like this?"
…
On Sword Mountain, Liu Qianjue was also at a loss. He was sure that the thirteenth sword was done, but why was Lu Yin completely fine?
Everyone was dumbfounded by this scene.
Shangqing stared at Lu Yin. Is he really fine?
Tai Yishen was certain that Lu Yin was fine, as his rune lines had not changed at all.
After a moment of silence, Lu Yin looked at Liu Tianmu. "Where did you hit?"
"My heart, to the left," Liu Tianmu answered.
When Lu Yin heard Liu Tianmu's words, the first thing that came to mind was the black and white fog. Had the thirteenth sword hit that fog?
He touched his heart, but there was no feeling. The thirteenth sword must have been swallowed!
"What did you do?"
Liu Tianmu was in disbelief. This had never happened in the Sword Sect's Thirteen Swords since ancient times. Even a sect master who had been swallowed by Tian Hou had been severely injured by the thirteenth sword. Even such a strange lifeform would be severely injured, but this person was completely fine.
Lu Yin raised a hand. "Your path to the Sovereign Tournament is over." He then struck out with an empty palm, sending Liu Tianmu off the mountain and onto the first layer of the mountain.
He had not used his full strength, or else Liu Tianmu would have died. He did not want to fall out with the Sword Sect just yet.
However, Liu Tianmu would definitely be heavily injured.
After defeating Liu Tianmu, Lu Yin turned to Shangqing with a smile. He stepped onto the staircase and headed towards the peak.
Shangqing and Lu Yin looked at each other in amazement. Lu Yin's defeat of Heaven's Emergence Mavis had not shocked Shangqing as much, but ignoring the Thirteen Swords had shocked him greatly. This person's strength was a little uncertain, but it did not matter. No matter how strong Lu Yin was, he would not be Shangqing's match.
Shangqing's confidence in looking down on those of the same generation had not changed.
In another direction, a battle between Wen Sansi and Wang Yi had ended very quickly.
Wen Sansi was ranked twelfth on the predicted top ten, even above Lu Yin, because of his almost indestructible innate gift. However, this barrier had been broken by Wang Yi.
With a soft sound, Wang Yi swept past Wen Sansi and smashed through the barrier. "Not a bad defense."
Wang Yi had not spoken from start to finish, but Wen Sansi's barrier had allowed him to speak.
When they saw the barrier shatter, Mira, Michelle, and the Innerverse's Wen family members' expressions changed. Wen Sansi had been defeated.
Wang Yi did not attack Wen Sansi again. Instead, he walked towards the staircase step by step.
Wen Sansi did not move either. He turned back to look at Wang Yi with an unprecedented shock in his eyes. He had seen an unparalleled battle technique, and it was an indescribable feeling. It felt like he should have been defeated. This person's surname was Wang, a king amongst cultivators. This battle technique made him feel like he was invincible.
Even though Lu Yin had helped Ling Palace once, they had still been defeated by Xia Jiuyou in the end.
The combination of the Netherforge Palm and the echo innate gift was enough to defeat Ling Palace. During the battle at the Mountain and Sea Realm, Xia Jiuyou's Sky Palace had been destroyed by the third blade intent. Now, Xia Jiuyou was gradually revealing his terrifying side. The power of his Netherforge Palm was several times stronger than it had been during the battle at the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Xia Jiuyou's nine clones had fused with all but Xia Luo, and he gradually revealed an invincible aura that even the Prime Clarity was impressed.
Ling Palace was helpless as blood continuously flowed from his left leg. Behind him, the defeated Sky Palace gradually disappeared. "The Lingling clan claims to have ten innate gifts in one, but any one of them is enough to cultivate for a lifetime. Ten innate gifts in one might be advantageous to normal cultivators, but not to this kind of person." She was not disheartened, as the focus of the Lingling clan's ten innate gifts lay in their unity.
The further she progressed, the more powerful her innate gift would become. She had long since seen her future path. One day, her innate gift would not only create a single Sky Palace, but also a group of Sky Palaces. It could even create a Celestial Realm that the world had fabricated.
One expert after another headed towards the staircase: Wang Yi, Zhiyi, the Prime Clarity, Lu Yin, Yao Xuan, and Xia Jiuyou. There were only eight people who had yet to decide a victor.
Lu Yin walked towards the peak, step by step. Suddenly, he felt a chill behind him. He turned around and saw a beam of sword qi flying towards him. The Eleventh Sword?
Lu Yin subconsciously raised his hand, grabbed the Eleventh Sword, and threw it towards Xia Jiuyou. He stared into the distance, where Hidden Weep was surrounded by illusory black flames. He carried a banner on his back, and the book above his head was slowly flipping.
The Eleventh Sword had come from him, and he had borrowed another person's battle technique.
Wu Taibai seemed to be very interested.
At this moment, Xia Jiuyou was in a bad mood. Lu Yin had subconsciously thrown the Eleventh Sword at him, making it clear that Lu Yin wanted to be his enemy. There were no so-called one-on-one battles on the peak, and it seemed like this would be a chaotic battle. Even though Xia Jiuyou had the Nine Clones and believed that he could deal with anyone, he did not want to be targeted by an expert like this.
However, Lu Yin had already targeted him, and there was nothing he could do about it.
"You can actually borrow another person's battle technique? That was the Eleventh Sword. Can you lend me the Thirteenth Sword?
I want to experience it as well. "Wu Taibai was very interested.
Hidden Weep's face was gloomy, and the book above his head flipped. He gripped his spear and stared at Wu Taibai.
He had exchanged blows with this person several times, but he had not been able to gain the slightest advantage. He even felt like he was being suppressed, as if his technique that ignored physical bodies was being countered.
"You can continue to borrow other people's battle techniques. I won't stop you," Wu Taibai said.
The black flames around Hidden Weep's body surged, and the banner disappeared. His entire person became the only black color in the world. His spear flickered with black light that transformed into the night sky and swept towards Wu Taibai.
This was the Burial Garden's secret technique, Will. It greatly increased Hidden Weep's strength.
Wu Taibai was shocked, and he raised his hand to send out a martial seal that collided with the tip of the spear.
With a bang, he was sent flying. He was shocked that Hidden Weep had actually forced him back.
The book above Hidden Weep's head flipped, "There was an ancient powerhouse named Liu Guai." The Eleventh Sword whistled out, and at the same time, Hidden Weep's entire body seemed to melt into the spear. A black dot appeared that caused everyone's scalps to go numb, and the entirety of Mount Supreme turned black.
This spear surpassed the power of Hidden Weep's attack against Lu Yin in the Mountain and Sea Realm. If Hidden Weep had possessed this spear's might, then Lu Yin would not have been able to block it.
Wu Taibai did not dodge. He raised his right palm, and the Martial Ancestor's Seal appeared behind him. A terrifying aura swept through Mount Supreme, causing countless people to almost kneel down. The Martial Ancestor was tyrannical, and he had created a secret technique called the Seal of Mountains and Rivers. The moment this seal appeared, it was as if the entire Sixth Mainland had been moved over and smashed towards Hidden Weep, ignoring spatial distance. It was extremely similar to the Eleventh and Twelfth Swords of the Thirteen Swords. The only difference was that when Wu Taibai used it, its might surpassed Liu Tianmu's Twelfth Sword.
