Not long after, the boundless power disappeared, and the Martial Ancestor left.
While everyone was still confused, a voice rang out. It was the same voice that had appeared after the start of the Sovereign Tournament. "Xia Jiuyou, Yao Xuan, will be added to the top ten of the Sovereign Tournament. The top ten of the Sovereign Tournament will be determined.
Everyone was confused. Just a moment ago, they could still fight, but now the rules had changed?
It was obviously related to the Martial Ancestor, but what did he mean?
The Sovereign Tournament was like a child's tournament to him, and interfering with it was a bit shameful.
In the Starfall Sea, outside the black hole, the Secret Ancestor asked, "You don't want that kid to succeed?"
The Martial Ancestor replied, "If he cultivates the three suns' ancestral qi, he'll be able to rise from the brink of death and reach the Progenitor realm in the future. Who will be able to stop him?"
"With those monsters around, it's good to have another Progenitor," said the Secret Ancestor.
The Martial Ancestor snorted. "The others can, but not this kid. The three suns' ancestral qi is enough to make him a second Progenitor Chen. Don't forget that Progenitor Chen killed many Progenitors. If he succeeds, what will happen to us?
The blood feud between the Sixth and Fifth Mainlands will never be resolved. "
The Blood Ancestor said, "Even if he succeeds, it only means that he's too far away from the Progenitor realm."
"Even if there's a chance, we won't allow another Progenitor Chen to appear in the Fifth Mainland," said the Martial Ancestor stubbornly. He was filled with hatred for the Fifth Mainland. Back when the Sixth Mainland had invaded, he had been the only Progenitor to act. He wanted nothing more than to destroy the Fifth Mainland. If not for that person, he would have let those monsters in long ago.
Even Wu Taibai could see through the Shangqing's intentions, so how could he not?
Even though he knew that the chances of Shangqing becoming a Progenitor were slim, it was just as he had said. Once Shangqing became a Progenitor, the three of them wouldn't be a match for him even if they worked together. The three suns' ancestral qi was enough to produce three more Progenitors, and two of them were Progenitors.
Shangqing had shown the Martial Ancestor his courage by daring to rise from the brink of death. Since that was the case, the Martial Ancestor had to restrain him. The Fifth Mainland could have another Progenitor, but it couldn't be Shangqing, nor could it be someone who cultivated the Nine Clones Technique.
The Secret Ancestor sighed, the Martial Ancestor's stubbornness.
The Blood Ancestor looked towards Mount Supreme. "Once he reaches that place, he'll still be able to fight his way out of death."
The Martial Ancestor coldly replied, "Then he's just courting death.
No one could change the fact that the Martial Ancestor had interfered. After all, he was an Ancestor. Even Elder Chan and the others could only listen.
Shangqing clenched his fists and was extremely unwilling to accept this. He had waited for this moment for a very long time. He had truly waited for a very long time. He had hoped that someone would be able to force him to his limits. Only experts of the same generation would be able to do so. However, he had actually been stopped.
He didn't know if he would be able to break through that barrier after being pushed to his limit. Even if he died, he still wanted to try, but now he didn't even have the chance.
He raised his head. According to the changed rules, his opponent was Drunkard.
Opposite Shangqing, Jiu Hao gulped down a mouthful of wine and burped. When she saw that her opponent was Shangqing, she didn't even think about winning. The Three-Suns Ancestral Qi was too abnormal.
Lu Yin looked over at Bu Kong, and at the same time, Bu Kong also looked over. The two were opponents.
Among the others, Xia Jiuyou was up against Qiu Shi, Yao Xuan was up against Wu Taibai, and as for Wang Yi, his opponent was Ascendant Mavis.
The Supreme Battle had once again entered a one-on-one competition. This was the real competition, and many people felt that the previous battles had been too chaotic.
Unfortunately, they would never understand that the top ten would have to face an even more chaotic and despairing scene in the future. The Hall of Honor had only rehearsed it in advance, but it had been destroyed by the Martial Ancestor.
In front of their screens, the spectators in the universe were excited. Although the previous battle had been intense, they hadn't been able to watch it all. Now, the one-on-one competition was what they wanted to watch, and it was fair.
The one-on-one competition was indeed fair, but it was a pity that the Hall of Honor didn't want such fairness.
Xia Jiuyou walked up to the peak. He and Yao Xuan had both fallen down the stairway, and their strength had clearly surpassed the others. This had allowed them to enter the top ten, and his opponent was Qiu Shi.
Qiu Shi should be a very troublesome opponent, but she had expended too much energy in her battle with Zhiyi, and she had also been injured by Wang Yi and Shangqing. Her strength had been greatly reduced, and she was still bleeding.
Although Xia Jiuyou had been beaten down the stairway by the Xia family's Ancestor Chen, who had been transformed by Shangqing, he didn't seem to have changed at all. His face was just slightly pale.
In the distance, Lu Yin looked at Xia Jiuyou strangely. This guy's rune lines hadn't decreased at all. Strange, this was too strange.
What was even stranger was that when he looked at Qiu Shi, her rune lines were increasing. Damn it, how could they still increase when she was injured? There were even more rune lines than when she had fought with Zhiyi.
He was a little confused.
Tai Yishen, Long He, and the others who had cultivated the Eon Evolution True Scripture were all confused. They looked at Xia Jiuyou, and then at Qiu Shi.
932 stars revolved as Qiu Shi attacked with Sirius Palm. Xia Jiuyou raised his hand at the same time, using Netherforge Palm.
The stars exploded, and the cold air froze over. Sirius Palm clashed with the Netherforge Palm, and with a bang, both of them retreated at the same time. Behind Qiu Shi, another Netherforge Palm appeared. Xia Jiuyou had used his echo innate gift to an extremely proficient level, and he could use it to unleash two Netherforge Palms at the same time.
He had used this technique to defeat the Tear Lady, but unfortunately, his technique had long since been known by everyone.
Qiu Shi circulated the stars around her body once more, and she turned around to use Sirius Sword Technique to slice apart the Netherforge Palm. In the distance, Xia Jiuyou's star energy transformed into a blade, and he used the Xia family's Three Styles of Blade Intent. The first and second slashes were both dodged by Qiu Shi, and the third slash was raised when she used Stellar Transposition.
Xia Jiuyou had been prepared for this, and he used the Xia Secret Word, Void Transformation. The Xia family's tyrannical secret technique directly dispelled Sirius's secret technique. He then slashed out with the Third Style of Blade Intent.
The Xia family's Third Style of Blade Intent was terrifyingly powerful, and it had been able to slice apart the Spirit Palace's Sky Palace with a single slash. It was enough to threaten any powerhouse, and the Xia family's Progenitor Chen, who had been transformed from the Prime Clear, had withdrawn the Third Style of Blade Intent as a basis for determining whether or not one could remain on the mountain peak.
Facing Xia Jiuyou's third slash, Qiu Shi raised Sirius Sword Technique once more and slashed out.
The stars exploded, and Qiu Shi spat out a mouthful of blood. She had been injured by the Third Style of Blade Intent.
When they saw this scene, many people found it strange. Qiu Shi had grasped the sourcebox array, Great Shift Array, and logically speaking, she should have been able to dodge the attack. Why had she taken it head-on?
Xia Jiuyou found it strange as well, as he had already prepared his Refined Netherworld Palm. He had been waiting for Qiu Shi to dodge the Third Style of Blade Intent so that he could attack her. He had not expected her to take it head-on. If she had not been injured before, she would have been able to do so, but now, she was barely able to. Why had she taken it head-on?
Lu Yin stared at Qiu Shi, and as he watched her rune lines continue to increase, a thought flashed through his mind. An innate gift! This woman must have used an innate gift.
Qiu Shi was known as the Four Ultimate Heavenly Maiden, and from what he knew, her realm was related to Sirius Technique. Sirius Sword Technique was considered one of the Four Ultimate Heavenly Maidens, while her secret technique, Stellar Shift, and Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker and sourcebox arrays were another. In that case, the Fourth Ultimate Heavenly Maiden was most likely an innate gift, and a strange one at that.
As he watched Qiu Shi continuously cough up blood, Lu Yin fell into deep thought. What kind of innate gift was this?
The more injured she was, the more her rune lines would increase?
Xia Jiuyou could not see the rune lines, but he could feel that Qiu Shi had changed. Her injuries were clearly becoming more and more serious, but he still felt a chill run down his spine.
He immediately attacked with the Xia family's Three Styles of Blade Intent.
Across from him, Qiu Shi spat out another mouthful of blood. In Lu Yin's eyes, her rune lines had increased to a level that surpassed Wang Yi's, Wu Taibai's, and the others'. Her figure then disappeared. Xia Jiuyou's pupils shrank as he saw the Great Shift Array. He did not know why, but at this moment, he felt as if he had been targeted by the Grim Reaper.
Qiu Shi appeared in front of Xia Jiuyou, but she did not dodge the Three Styles of Blade Intent. She raised her hand and slashed out with Sirius Sword Technique.
Sirius Sword Technique should have been severed by the Three Styles of Blade Intent, but instead, it erupted with a terrifying aura. With a single slash, the Three Styles of Blade Intent was severed, and at the same time, the tip of the sword flashed past and pierced Xia Jiuyou's neck. Fresh blood dripped down the Sword Star and onto the mountain peak.
Everyone fell silent. Qiu Shi had killed Xia Jiuyou with a single slash.
Countless people in front of their screens were stunned.
Outside of Mount Supreme, Xia Meng walked out with a pale face. "You're courting death!" she roared as she charged towards the mountain, but she was blocked by someone. It was the Hall of Honor's Interstellar Tribunal's head judge.
The Hall of Honor's Interstellar Tribunal's head judge was shrouded in darkness all year round, and no one could see him clearly.
Even Xia Meng, with a power level of more than 900,000, couldn't see him clearly. "Get out of my way!" she roared.
The head judge's body distorted, and in the darkness, he replaced Xia Meng's vision. As the bell rang, Xia Meng's expression turned sluggish, and she strangely stopped moving. Her expression was no longer as crazed as before.
"This is the Sovereign Tournament. Do not be impudent," the head judge's voice rang out with a shocking power.
Xia Meng's body trembled as she broke free from the bell's control. Her face was filled with grief as she glared at the peak of Mount Supreme with hatred. She looked at Qiu Shi and clenched her fists. "Celestial Sect."
In the Neoverse, the Xia family's patriarch, Xia Yi, paled. How could he have been pierced so easily? You've cultivated the Nine Clones Technique! That's Progenitor Chen's invincible battle technique!
No one could believe that Xia Jiuyou, who was ranked fifth in the predicted top ten, would be killed by a sword piercing his throat.
In the second layer of Mount Supreme, Xia Luo's expression was gloomy. Dead?
No, he wasn't. You've all underestimated the Nine Clones Technique. If someone who cultivates it dies so easily, it doesn't deserve to be called an invincible battle technique.
Aside from Xia Luo, Wu Taibai's gaze was also filled with deep meaning. Dead?
Of course not.
Qiu Shi released her hand, and Sirius transformed into a star that spun around once more. The blood from Xia Jiuyou's throat flowed down her clothes and gathered into a river.
She coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood. She was known as the Four Extremities Heavenly Maiden, and her fourth extremity was her innate skill, Blood Wave. The more she bled, the more terrifying her strength would become. She could kill any expert at the same level with a single strike, or even someone stronger than her. She had originally planned to use this move against Shang Qing or others, but Xia Jiuyou had forced her to use it.
Although Blood Wave's strength had increased, the price he had paid wasn't light. He had also been heavily injured, but he had still won.
Xia Jiuyou's body fell to the ground.
