Lu Yin looked at Bu Kong, who was half-kneeling in front of him, and felt rather emotional. He thought back to the battle in the Cosmic Sea, where this person had single-handedly defeated many experts. His elegance had stunned everyone, but now, he was in such a sorry state.
The Sixth Mainland's cultivators were speechless and could only look at Bu Kong in disappointment.
Zhiyi had already fallen out of the top ten and wasn't even qualified to compete. Now, it was Bu Kong's turn to fail.
Fortunately, he had entered the top ten.
Bu Kong lowered his head, and the palm imprint that had been struck by Emptiness's palm quickly disappeared. His resurrection technique was enough to instantly heal him.
Bu Kong panted heavily as he stared at the ground in a daze. Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.
Why was this happening?
Bu Kong's techniques couldn't deal with this person, and his Great Reincarnation Technique couldn't touch him. His sourcebox array had been shifted, and his imprint couldn't suppress him. His innate gift couldn't even get close to him. Why?
This person had been a piece of trash who couldn't even get onto the General Appointment Stage, but now, he couldn't even fight back.
Why? Why?
Bu Kong's eyes turned red, and his veins bulged. Fresh blood seeped out of his skin, dyeing his entire body red.
Across from him, Lu Yin raised a brow and subconsciously struck out with Emptiness.
The blood on Bu Kong's body suddenly disappeared. It was Secret Subjugation Technique again, but this time, it was different from when he had broken through the illusion. Secret Ancestor's power was clearly displayed, and it bloomed magnificently on Mount Supreme. It wasn't much different from when the Martial Ancestor had descended. Bu Kong was going all out. Even if he couldn't compete for the position of Prime after this battle, he still had to defeat Lu Yin.
Emptiness's palm struck Bu Kong's chest and forced him back several steps. It was the same palm imprint, and it was powerful enough to severely injure Bu Kong, but it was instantly healed by his resurrection technique. Bu Kong tapped his feet and appeared beside Lu Yin. Great Reincarnation Technique.
Lu Yin was shocked. His speed had increased by so much?
This aura and boundless rune lines far exceeded what they had been before. Bu Kong made him feel a sense of danger.
The stars revolved around Lu Yin's body, and even though he was fast, he still could not reach Wang Yi's speed. With the help of the Cosmic Art, Lu Yin was able to clearly see Wang Yi's palm strike. Lu Yin dodged the attack and struck out with his own empty palm. Surprisingly, his palm froze in midair, and his entire body froze as well.
Back then, on the General Appointment Stage in Universe Ocean, Qiu Shi and the others had been frozen in the same manner.
With Lu Yin's strength, it would not have been so easy for the Severed Void to immobilize him. However, the Severed Void had burned his essence blood and used the Secret Subjugation Technique to draw upon a strand of the Secret Ancestor's power. This had greatly increased the Severed Void's power, and he had managed to immobilize Lu Yin.
The Art of Reincarnation landed on Bu Kong's palm. If Lu Yin was struck by this attack, he would revert back to his younger self, and there would be no way for him to dodge the next attack.
Countless people's hearts were in their mouths. In the brothel, Ming Yan's expression changed drastically.
Atop Supreme Mountain, Wendy Yushan, Zhuo Daynight, and the others' expressions changed as well.
In the higher realms, the cultivators of the Sixth Mainland cheered and watched nervously. Victory or defeat would be decided in this instant.
The limitless sourcebox array could freeze Lu Yin's body, his star energy, and even his domain. However, it could not freeze his spiritual force.
White Night — Tribute.
It didn't matter how new the move was, as long as it was useful.
Bu Kong was once again forcefully dragged into the illusion.
Night's End, Daybreak was a silent battle technique that the White King had created. Even if one knew that it was an illusion, they would still be dragged into it.
Daybreak's Tribute was a combination of Night's End, Daybreak, and the Nightking's Sky-Splitting Technique. It was the Daynight clan's true trump card inherited battle technique, and even the Daynight clan had not mastered it. The outside world did not understand this battle technique at all, aside from Yao Xuan.
Yao Xuan was the only one who had faced Daybreak's Tribute head-on. He possessed a terrifying amount of spiritual force, but Bu Kong did not have it. He had originally thought that using the Secret Subjugation Technique would be enough to break through the illusion once, but he had not expected to be dragged into it again with his current strength.
It was still the same starry sky, and the same people were still kneeling on the ground. Bu Kong's expression changed, and he looked up to see Lu Yin's enormous figure appear.
Bu Kong was enraged, and his star energy surged. "Break!"
With his current strength under the Secret Subjugation Technique, he could instantly break through Daybreak's Tribute's illusion. Lu Yin had not counted on the Tribute to injure him; all he wanted was a brief opening.
The moment Bu Kong broke free from the illusion, Lu Yin also broke free from the sourcebox array. Not only that, but he also raised a hand and tapped out. Seventh Brother's Finger.
Bu Kong's mouth was covered in blood, and he raised his hand again and slapped out with the Great Reincarnation Technique. Even if he was heavily injured, he would beat Lu Yin back to his childhood state. As long as Lu Yin was beaten back to his childhood state, Bu Kong would be able to win even if he was heavily injured.
Just as the Great Reincarnation Technique was about to collide with Seventh Brother's finger, Bu Kong's eyes narrowed.
Bu Kong's gaze was fierce. He was going all out.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. It was over.
Bu Kong's body suddenly shifted half a meter to the side, and his palm missed. He had been hit by Lu Yin's Greater Teleportation Array.
Bu Kong could set up a sourcebox array, but Lu Yin could also set up a sourcebox array and a Greater Teleportation Array.
At the critical moment, Bu Kong was shifted half a meter to the side, and his Great Reincarnation Technique missed. However, Lu Yin had been prepared for this, and he changed the direction of his finger and pierced through Bu Kong's shoulder. Blood splattered everywhere, and Bu Kong's face turned ashen. His pupils dilated, and he stared at Lu Yin in disbelief.
From start to finish, Bu Kong had not had any hope of winning, and he had been suppressed from start to finish.
Why?
He was one of the Daosource Three Skies, so how had he lost?
This should not have happened.
Lu Yin pulled his hand back, and Bu Kong swayed a few times. He could not help but fall to the ground, his entire body trembling from the exhaustion of the Secret Subjugation Technique.
Lu Yin looked down from above. The moment he had broken through to the Hunter realm, he had stood at the peak of his generation in this universe. Yao Xuan's spiritual force was invincible, and he could not suppress Lu Yin. Star Devourer's physical strength was invincible, and he could not suppress Lu Yin either. Wang Yi's speed was invincible, but he could not suppress Lu Yin either. Prime Qing's Three Yang Ancestral Qi could transform into Progenitor Chen, but it could not suppress Lu Yin either.
Lu Yin had defeated Levitating Mavis and Liu Tianmu, but that was only his strength under normal circumstances.
Lu Yin glanced at Prime Qing, Wang Yi, and Wu Taibai. These people had all concealed their strength deeply, and they all possessed unfathomable strength. So what?
Lu Yin had his own strength as well.
Bu Kong had lost, and he had lost miserably.
There had been three matches in the top ten, and Qiu Shi had taken Xia Jiuyou's life, which had exposed the secret of Xia Jiuyou's Nine Clones Technique. Yao Xuan had fought against Wu Taibai, which had exposed Wu Taibai's ability to break through anything. It could even break through Lu Yin's Void Walk state, which had made everyone wary.
Bu Kong had not exposed anything, but Lu Yin had not revealed anything. This was because Lu Yin had already used all of the strength that he had used in the previous battle.
However, the Greater Transfer Array had still been discovered by Qiu Shi and the Sirius Sect's experts. Lu Yin did not plan on hiding it, as it would be even more impossible for him to do so in the future. Moreover, he had already used it in the previous battle.
The entire Sovereign Tournament had been broadcasted live, so it was only natural that countless people would watch it on a loop.
Lu Yin was not in the mood to think about how to explain things to the Sirius Sect. Fighting for the championship was the most important thing.
Bu Kong's defeat caused the Sixth Mainland's cultivators to be speechless. Now, only Wu Taibai was left in the Daosource Three Skies to compete for the sole Sovereign position.
Who would have thought that the most low-key Wu Taibai was actually the most powerful of the Daosource Three Skies?
The fourth match was between Wang Yi and Yu Hua Mavis.
There was no suspense in this match. Yu Hua Mavis was very strong, but even Lu Yin had not been able to gain an advantage over Wang Yi in terms of strength. It was even more impossible for him to win based on strength alone.
His only chance of victory was the Mavis family's ability to control others' minds.
Unfortunately, Wang Yi did not give Yu Hua Mavis any chance. With his speed that no one could see clearly, he easily sent Yu Hua Mavis off the mountain peak with the Kui Bear's Strength.
The final match was between Jiu Hao and Shangqing. There was no suspense at all. Jiu Hao did not even want to fight and immediately admitted defeat.
At this point, the top five of the top ten had been determined. They were Xia Jiuyou, Wu Taibai, Lu Yin, Wang Yi, and Shangqing.
According to the rules of the competition, Wang Yi was the only one who did not have an opponent.
Lu Yin's opponent was Xia Jiuyou, while Shangqing's opponent was Wu Taibai.
The sole Sovereign, the champion of the competition, would be born from one of these five.
With only one day of rest, the five quietly stood on the mountain peak.
Lu Yin looked at Xia Jiuyou, and Xia Jiuyou looked back at him.
"How many lives do you have?" Lu Yin asked faintly.
Xia Jiuyou's eyes flashed, and there was an intense apprehension in the depths of his eyes.
Lu Yin had fought many more battles than Xia Jiuyou had, but he did not seem to have suffered any injuries. Xia Jiuyou had even tried to ambush Lu Yin once during the chaotic battle, but he had also failed. Xia Jiuyou had to admit that Lu Yin surpassed him in terms of strength. His only trump card to win was fate, and he had to fight to the death with one life at a time.
On the other side, Wu Taibai was somewhat helpless. He also felt terrible about facing Shangqing.
When he saw Wang Yi look over, Wu Taibai smiled, "Don't look at me. Although you have a bye, the next match will definitely be yours. If I lose, your opponent will still be him."
"It doesn't matter," Wang Yi said coldly.
Wu Taibai laughed, "I know you want to fight Progenitor Chen. After all, that's Progenitor Chen, and you have-" Before he could finish, Wang Yi interrupted him, "I want to fight Xia Jiuyou even more."
Wu Taibai's gaze turned cold. "Your thoughts are too dangerous. It's best if you don't, or else the consequences won't be something you can bear."
Wang Yi looked at Xia Jiuyou. "Humans' greatest secrets are hidden within their bloodlines. Even you didn't expect that someone in this region could inherit the Nine Clones Technique."
"What's even more unexpected is that he's not the only one who knows the Nine Clones Technique."
Wu Taibai subconsciously glanced at the first layer before looking at Starsibyl, but he did not say anything.
Wang Yi did not say anything either. The two were transmitting to each other, and no one else could hear their conversation.
He looked at Lu Yin, as this person was his greatest goal. Even if Lu was there, the surname Lu would no longer exist. With such a cultivation talent, was he from that family?
If he was, then it would be too terrifying, and it would shake the world to its core. It would bring about an unimaginable disaster that would engulf everything known to humanity.
Since ancient times, there had never been a competition on such a scale, and it had never been as long as a single day. The entire universe was waiting.
Many industries had even stopped, including the seventy-two weaves of the Outerverse, the Innerverse, the Cosmic Sea, the Neoverse, and so on. Many trades had stopped as they waited for the results of the Sovereign Tournament.
