Throughout the universe, the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands, countless people were watching the screens. The screens had now merged into one, and there was only one image: the arena beneath the statue at the peak of Mount Sovereign.
That place represented the true highest stage in the universe.
Even Liu Tianmu of the Ten Arbiters, Bu Kong of the Daosource Three Skies, and Liu Tianmu of the Spirit Palace had not been able to ascend to this stage.
Everyone was so nervous that they found it hard to breathe. The top ten had been decided, and the next step was to fight for the sole Prime. Who would make the statue reveal its face?
The commoners were watching the show, but the bets were nervous. This was related to their fates.
Lu Yin's entry into the top ten had already caused some bets to close, and Bu Kong's defeat had also caused others to close as well. It could be said that this Sovereign Tournament had caused many bloodshed in the outside world.
Many people's fates had been decided.
Everyone thought that the next step would be to fight for the sole Prime, and they were all guessing how they would do it.
Above the peak and below the statue, incense sticks appeared behind the top ten at the same time. The incense sticks were lit and began to burn, causing smoke to fill the air.
Everyone was confused.
"Those who are still standing at the peak after the incense burn are ranked in the top ten," a loud voice boomed out. This voice had appeared once when the Sovereign Tournament had begun, and now, it was appearing for the second time.
At the same time, below the peak, regardless of whether they were at the bottom of the stairway, the first, second, or third faults, everyone understood that this was a chance for them to charge to the peak and replace the top ten.
Lu Yin took a deep breath, as he knew that it would not be so simple. The top ten would need to obtain the rewards from the Sovereign Tournament, but this reward was not easy to obtain. Without absolute strength, one would need to have heaven-defying luck to obtain it.
This meant that the top ten could not be reached simply by fighting one's way up.
The top ten had to have strength that surpassed all others. The previous matches had also involved luck. If the Hundred Lineages had not met Drunkard but someone else, the results might have been different. The Sovereign Tournament had to determine the top ten.
An incense stick's worth of time?
That was neither too long nor too short.
Everyone looked down. These people wanted to replace them in the top ten, but the truly dangerous ones were the people beside them, as they were not forbidden from attacking the top ten.
The peak was huge, and each person had their own direction.
Everyone could see the excitement and anticipation in the eyes of the people below, but not everyone was attacked. For example, Shangqing, Wang Yi, Yao Xuan, and Lu Yin were not even spared him a glance.
They all had unfathomable strength.
The Prime Clear Lineage had the greatest reputation. The two words' Ancestor Chen 'were sufficient to cause everyone to be speechless.
Lu Yin's fights were the most exciting. Neither Heaven's Emergence Mavis nor Liu Tianmu were easy to deal with. After defeating these two, almost no one dared to challenge him.
Qiu Shi made her move. She hadn't fought with the Prime Clear lineage at all, as she had been waiting for this moment. How could she give up on the successor of the Sirius Sect? Her target was Zhiyi, and she directly faced the Daosource Three Heavens.
On the first level, Star Devourer opened his eyes and roared as he charged out.
Yu Hua Mavis raised her head as well. She would not give up on the opportunity to become one of the top ten Sovereigns. She leapt out and stared at Wu Taibai. This person had also thrown out the Eleventh Sword just like Lu Yin, which had piqued her interest.
At the second level, the Weapon Wielder rushed out. He had been defeated by Wang Yi and was unwilling to accept this.
As for the third layer, Lan Si walked out along with Xiao Bai.
Not everyone dared to challenge those people at the peak of the mountain. Only a few people dared to make a move.
At the foot of the mountain, Bu Kong raised his head and stared at Little Qing. This slut had actually mounted a sneak attack on him.
On the other side, the Hundred Lineages had finally finished eating the drop of wine, and it buzzed as it flew towards the peak.
The first to rush to the peak was Qiu Shi, and her target was Zhiyi.
Regardless of past grudges, the entire universe was watching, and their standpoints were clear. Qiu Shi's targets were either Yao Xuan from the Astral Beast Domain or the Daosource Three Heavens from the Sixth Mainland.
Zhiyi was not surprised, as she did not know why the Third Ancestor would allow the Sovereign Competition to continue. This was clearly disadvantageous to the Sixth Mainland, but nothing could be changed now.
932 stars revolved and covered the entire peak. Not only Zhiyi, but even Lu Yin, the Prime Clear lineage, and the rest were affected.
Zhiyi did not hold back either, and her life energy erupted and swept across the peak.
The life energy collided with Sirius's energy on the peak, enveloping everyone else.
Without seeing Ming Guang, Xia Jiuyou, Little Qing, Jiu Hao, and Wu Taibai all retreated.
At that moment, the Prime Clear Lineage waved his hand, and a stream of air blasted towards Xia Jiuyou. He had said before that he wanted to see the true power of the Nine Clones.
Xia Jiuyou raised his blade and slashed out, tearing apart the stream of air. However, the streams of air fused together and continued to attack him.
Below, Ascension Mavis rushed up, bending her right arm and punching out, shaking Mount Supreme. Her target was Wu Taibai.
Wu Taibai immediately dodged, not taking the attack head-on.
The wind from Ascension Mavis's punch swept past Wu Taibai and towards another direction, where Qiu Shi and Zhiyi were fighting. The force of her punch was so great that the two girls were apprehensive, and they hurriedly dodged.
A heaven-shaking roar resounded throughout Mount Supreme. The Star Devourer appeared, but its body had shrunk by a lot. Clearly, the battle with the Prime Clear had taught it a very deep lesson. Adding on the fact that it was hit by Bu Kong's Great Reincarnation Technique, it fully understood that there were disadvantages to having a large body.
The Star Devourer's eyes widened, and an enormous force formed a visible storm that pressed down on Lu Yin. It had long since been interested in Lu Yin.
Lu Yin frowned; after defeating Ascension Mavis, Liu Tianmu, and the other experts, he had not expected anyone outside of the top ten to make a move against him.
The Star Devourer's strength shocked him; it was worthy of being the most powerful being in the Astral Beast Domain. In terms of pure strength, Lu Yin had to admit that he was inferior. The Star Devourer's four eyes were already equivalent to the full strength of Lu Yin's Fatesand. Once it opened its fifth or sixth eyes, its strength would explosively increase.
It was common sense to use one's strength to counter an enemy's weakness. The Prime Clear Lineage had defeated the Star Devourer, not by strength, but by a terrifying blade. The might of that blade had caused one's scalp to go numb, and it represented Progenitor Chen's unparalleled strength.
Lu Yin knew that he could not use that blade, and he did not plan on clashing head-on with the Star Devourer. He chose to retreat in the face of the Star Devourer's attack.
Competing in strength with a wild beast would be disgraceful if he won, but losing would be even more shameful.
Lu Yin avoided the storm formed by the Star Devourer's attack and swept into the distance, enveloping most of the people on the mountain peak.
Zhiyi was furious. She had just been affected by Yuhua Mavis's fist wind, and now it was that wild beast again.
Jiu Hao was also affected, and he sprinkled his wine as he absorbed the storm formed by the Star Devourer's attack. It was a mystical sight.
With a bang, the mountain peak cracked open, and the Star Devourer opened its fifth eye. It roared at the sky and swung its giant tail at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin raised a hand and used an Empty Palm to strike the Star Devourer's abdomen. This wolf-shaped creature had the softest abdomen, and the attack sent the Star Devourer flying off the mountain peak and down the Sky Stairway.
Behind him, a cold light flashed, and he immediately dodged it. Xia Jiuyou's blade intent swept past him, but before he could react, the scene in front of him changed. He was faced with Zhiyi's Genesis Energy Sword. Lu Yin cursed inwardly, as he had been swapped by Qiu Shi's Stellar Shift.
Zhiyi had not expected Lu Yin to appear there, but it did not matter. Whether it was Lu Yin or Qiu Shi, they were both enemies, and it would be better if it was Lu Yin instead.
In the face of Zhiyi's Genesis Energy Sword, Lu Yin raised a hand and covered it with his nine-lined battle force. With a bang, he forcefully blocked the attack, and the soles of his feet cracked open. He then struck out with his right hand, but it was still an Empty Palm.
The Empty Palm struck the Origin Astral Protector covering Zhiyi's body, and it sent her flying. Her organs shook violently, and she was overwhelmed by the power of the attack.
There were not many people in the entire Sovereign Tournament who could ignore Lu Yin's Empty Palm. Even though Zhiyi had used her Origin Astral Protector to defend herself, it had not been easy for her.
Qiu Shi had swapped places with Lu Yin, and she herself had appeared at Lu Yin's previous position. She had calculated the timing perfectly, as the Star Devourer had been beaten back by Lu Yin. Swapping places with Lu Yin would allow her to take revenge for the Mountain and Sea Realm's Inner Stele Realm. A woman's hatred could be hidden for a long time.
However, she had underestimated Lu Yin's level of hatred. The Star Devourer had been beaten back, and Yao Xuan's spiritual force bombardment welcomed her.
Yao Xuan had wanted to attack Lu Yin, but Qiu Shi had swapped places with him and taken Lu Yin's place.
Yao Xuan's spiritual force could be considered the strongest in the Sovereign Tournament. Even though Qiu Shi's spiritual force defense was not weak, she still almost fell when she took on Yao Xuan's attacks, and her face paled.
In the distance, Yao Xuan was stunned. Why had she swapped places?
Qiu Shi looked up and stared at Yao Xuan. Stars gathered around her as Sirius Sword Technique slashed out.
Yao Xuan had thought that Qiu Shi would attack him, and Qiu Shi had indeed attacked him. However, the moment the Sirius Sword Technique descended, she used Stellar Transposition to switch places with Lu Yin. Lu Yin had just repelled Zhiyi, but he had returned to his original position in the blink of an eye.
He was very unhappy, as he felt as if he had been manipulated.
Speaking of which, this Stellar Transposition was really convenient.
The chaotic battle had only just begun, but the intense battle that had erupted caused countless people watching their screens to lose their voices. They had seen the strongest power and spiritual force, as well as the Sirius Art, natural origin energy, secret techniques, and so on. Even the Enlighters of the older generation might not have been able to hold on if they had been here.
Without any light, even someone like Xiaoqing, who had not participated in the battle, was affected and had to think of a way to neutralize the shockwaves.
Below the statue, at the summit of Mount Supreme, a giant bat phantom appeared and let out a terrifying screech at Lu Yin. Yao Xuan attacked Lu Yin once again, but his spiritual force engulfed the entire summit.
Lu Yin had seen Yao Xuan's previous attack, and he had been on guard against him. When the bat phantom appeared behind Yao Xuan, Lu Yin immediately set up an Origin Opening Array. The array's purpose was to protect one's spiritual force and stabilize it like a boulder.
Yao Xuan had used his screech to deal with Maiden Adept, and not only had he defeated her, but he had also affected many others. Even Qiu Shi and the others had been momentarily stunned, as no one could ignore Yao Xuan's spiritual force.
In outer space, a wave spread out as the spiritual force took form. Mu En and the others were stunned. How terrifying was the Celestial Yao's bloodline?
The battle on the mountain peak paused for a moment. Qiu Shi's stars, Zhiyi's life Genesis Qi, and Feather Mavis' fist all paused for a moment. Everyone was enduring Yao Xuan's spiritual energy bombardment.
