Wu Taibai had defeated Feather Mavis with the surging flow of air around his body. That flow of air had confused everyone, but now, it had gathered in his palm and was suddenly released. It was completely different from before.
In the distance, Lu Yin's expression changed as Wu Taibai's rune lines increased dramatically. The Martial Ancestor's Imprint and this flow of air caused his rune lines to surpass the Xia family's Ancestor Chen.
The blade light descended, but Wu Taibai waved his hand and tore it apart. He leapt up and pressed down on the Xia family's Ancestor Chen's shoulder, pressing him into the ground. At the same time, his body disappeared and reappeared in front of Shangqing.
Shangqing was astonished. When Wu Taibai struck out with his palm, the two streams of air did not even have the ability to slow down his attack and were shattered by his palm. The palm imprinted in front of Shangqing and an incomparably fierce force descended. Shangqing could feel it even before it came into contact.
The power of this palm surpassed the danger that Liu Tianmu's Thirteenth Sword had brought to him.
Wu Taibai's palm landed very quickly, and no one could react in time. However, just as it was about to touch Shangqing's body, it moved further and further away. Shangqing felt a chill run down his back. Not good, it's a secret technique.
The Hall of Honor's secret technique — Banish.
Although Wu Taibai had surpassed the Xia family's Ancestor Chen and the two flows of air, threatening Shangqing, he was still pushed away by the Banish technique.
The Banish technique did not throw Wu Taibai too far away. He used the Seal of Mountains and Rivers in midair, but it still could not touch Shangqing. Instead, the Xia family's Ancestor Chen slashed at Wu Taibai. However, the blade did not injure Wu Taibai and was instead obstructed by the flow of air around his body.
Wu Taibai landed on the ground, and the Xia family's Ancestor Chen slashed out. Wu Taibai raised his leg to block the blade and retreated once more. He looked helplessly at the distant Shangqing, "I admit defeat."
Although many had expected this result, it was still shocking that it had actually happened.
Shangqing had still won. He was ranked first on the Top Ten Predicted Rankings, and had always been the only Prime on the surface. Now, he was only a step away from the true Prime position.
Wu Taibai's strength wasn't weak and could temporarily suppress Ancestor Chen of the Xia Family. This was something that no one had ever done before. However, he couldn't pose a threat to Shangqing. Even if he could tangle with the Xia Family's Ancestor Chen that Shangqing had transformed into, he wouldn't be able to win in the end. Thus, he might as well admit defeat.
Shangqing frowned, as Wu Taibai had just given him a sense of pressure. It had been a long time since he had felt such a sense of danger, and he loved such a sense of danger. As he thought about it, he looked at Wang Yi and Lu Yin. "Both of you, come at me together."
Lu Yin raised an eyebrow. There were only three people left in the competition: himself, Wang Yi, and Shang Qing. He had originally thought that there would be one more person who would have a bye, but Shang Qing had actually taken on two people by herself.
"Don't hesitate, deaf-mute brother. No one is a match for him in a duel." Wu Taibai's voice sounded out with a hint of helplessness.
Wang Yi walked out and looked at Shang Qing in the distance. Until now, he still felt that it was inconceivable. There was actually someone in this starry sky who had such strength. It was enough to challenge those four people. However, it couldn't be considered true strength. It was just borrowing Ancestor Chen's strength.
He looked at Lu Yin, who wasn't too far away. Wang Yi actually wanted to fight with him, but a three-way battle wasn't too bad either.
Lu Yin also walked out from the side. His true opponent for the championship should be Shang Qing, but with the strength that he had displayed so far, it didn't seem very likely for him to win.
However, did the rules allow it?
Shang Qing had wanted to challenge everyone by himself, but he had been stopped.
After waiting for a while, no one stopped him.
Then.
Regardless of whether it was the Hall of Honor, the Three Progenitors, or everyone else, they all believed that this was the final battle!
Wu Taibai couldn't defeat Shang Qing, and in the eyes of others, even if the two of them worked together, they might not be able to win.
Just as Lu Yin had guessed, the Hall of Honor was already preparing to celebrate. The first person to become the universe's young paragon was enough to excite everyone in the Hall of Honor.
"Seventh Bro, do your best! Beat him up!" Ku Wei shouted.
"Beat him up! Lu Yin, beat him up!" Xiao Bai jumped up and down as he shouted.
Lan Si and the rest of the people from the Spirit Palace were all watching. This battle was truly the final battle.
Shang Qing's lips curled up. "I hope you guys can bring me danger." He then waved his hand, and another stream of air whizzed past, transforming into the illusory Progenitor Chen.
Blade light flashed as Progenitor Chen from the Xia family raised his hand and slashed at Wang Yi.
Wang Yi's figure immediately disappeared. His speed was at the top of the Paragon Tournament, and even with Sirius and the Eon Evolution Scripture, Lu Yin could barely catch a trace of his shadow. Progenitor Chen couldn't catch it either, so his blade slashed at Lu Yin instead.
Lu Yin didn't dare to be careless against Progenitor Chen's attack. At this moment, Progenitor Chen's attack wasn't just the Three Styles Blade Intent; it had also merged with the Netherrefined Palm, transforming into a frozen Netherrefined Blade Intent.
Lu Yin's pupils turned into runes, weakening the rune lines of Progenitor Chen's attack. At the same time, he raised his hand and struck out with an empty palm, deflecting the blade. He shifted his body to the side and looked at Shang Qing.
Not only did Wang Yi pass by Progenitor Chen, but he also passed through the illusory Progenitor Chen and appeared in front of Shang Qing. "Four Ultimates Technique — Kui Xiong."
A huge force erupted, accompanied by a terrifying destructive force. This attack wasn't much weaker than the danger that Wu Taibai's palm had brought to Shang Qing. Shang Qing was excited; it was still the Banishment Technique. Suddenly, everything in front of him changed. He saw the Glory Realm being destroyed, endless attacks descending, and Elder Chan dying. He saw familiar faces and strangers dying one after another. Suddenly, intense pain spread throughout his body, and a figure appeared in front of him. It was Lu Yin, and he slashed down with a single palm. Not good, it was an illusion.
Pfft!
Shang Qing spat out a mouthful of blood as he was dragged into the Daynight's Tribute and attacked by Lu Yin's spiritual force. His body was also struck by Wang Yi. Even though Wang Yi had been thrown out by the Banishment Technique, the force of his attack still affected Shang Qing.
Shang Qing retreated several steps with blood at the corner of his mouth. He looked up at Lu Yin and happened to meet his gaze. "The illusion technique that attacked me at the central pass came from you?"
Lu Yin didn't have the time to chat with the Xia family's Progenitor Chen's blade descended one after another, and each strike seemed to be able to seal off Lu Yin's movements. Lu Yin had long since used his Cosmic Art to clearly see the trajectory of Progenitor Chen's blade. Otherwise, he would have been easily struck.
Shang Qing was injured, and this was the first time this had happened since the start of the competition.
In front of their screens, many people were excited; this was going to be exciting.
With three strands of ancestral qi revolving around him, Shang Qing was like a deity, pressuring everyone. But now, he was finally injured, which meant that he wasn't invincible.
Progenitor Chen attacked Wang Yi, moving through the void. His attacks were formless, but they sent chills down everyone's spine.
Wang Yi used the Kui Bear to attack again, but this time it pierced through Progenitor Chen. Unable to hit him, Wang Yi's eyes flashed, and his figure disappeared. He didn't want to tangle with Progenitor Chen and instead attacked Shang Qing. Suddenly, his figure paused, and blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth. He had been hit by Shang Qing's secret technique, Punishment.
Behind him, Progenitor Chen walked out, raised his hand, and pointed. The tip of his finger turned black.
The black light distorted the void, and even light was sucked away.
Wang Yi's left hand spread open, and he pointed at Progenitor Chen. "Four Ultimate Techniques — Pearl Carrot."
Progenitor Chen's finger struck Wang Yi's side, and blood spurted out. Wang Yi's physical strength was extremely strong, and even Lu Yin's Emptiness Palm could only leave a mark on him. It couldn't penetrate him, but it was broken by Progenitor Chen's finger. However, the flames on the surface of Progenitor Chen's body suddenly disappeared, and Wang Yi's figure flickered. Progenitor Chen's abdomen was cut open, and he turned into a stream of air that dissipated.
In the distance, Shang Qing was shocked; Progenitor Chen's formless energy had disappeared. Otherwise, Wang Yi wouldn't have been able to succeed.
Wang Yi was the first person to injure Progenitor Chen, and at this moment, everyone knew that once Progenitor Chen was injured, what flowed out of the wound wasn't blood, but air. Furthermore, this air would fuse, which meant that the Three Suns Ancestral Qi wouldn't disappear, and Progenitor Chen could fight without restrictions.
Lu Yin also saw this scene, and his gaze sank. Although Progenitor Chen didn't have any intelligence, he would never die or be injured. This could be considered to make up for his lack of intelligence.
Now, the only way to defeat Shang Qing was to defeat him and force him to be unable to use the Three Suns Ancestral Qi.
In the Mountain and Sea Realm, Corpse Ghost had exposed the true nature of the Three Suns Ancestral Qi. At this moment, in the final battle of the Sovereign Tournament, Wang Yi had exposed the terrifying characteristics of the Three Suns Ancestral Qi.
Now, even Shang Qing's heart sank as he felt the terror of this battle technique.
The Pearl Vine of the Four Ultimates could seal any of the enemy's techniques. Shang Qing had sealed Lu Yin's strength, causing him to be unable to use the Hollow Palm and causing his strength to plummet. Just now, Shang Qing had sealed Progenitor Chen's formless ability to injure him, but it was useless. Even if he had the strength to destroy Progenitor Chen, it would still be useless, as Progenitor Chen could appear again.
Shang Qing stood quietly in the void, surrounded by an air current. He looked like a deity as he calmly looked at Lu Yin and Wang Yi. These two were definitely the top experts in the Sovereign Tournament, but unfortunately, they still couldn't defeat him.
The more the characteristics of the Three Suns Ancestral Qi were exposed, the more despair one would feel.
At this moment, even those from the Great Eastern Alliance didn't think that Lu Yin could win.
Lu Yin dodged another blade and raised his hand, using the Hollow Palm to attack Shang Qing.
Shang Qing blocked the air current around him, and the Hollow Palm dispersed the air current. However, it was delayed for a moment, allowing Shang Qing to dodge.
At that moment, the Star Chessboard appeared beneath Lu Yin's feet and moved.
At this moment, the Xia family's Progenitor Chen was still an Enlighter, so it was impossible for him to create the "Xia" Secret Word. Thus, Progenitor Chen couldn't break the "Plan" Secret Word.
Lu Yin appeared behind Shang Qing and tapped out with his finger. Seventh Brother also pointed.
Two air currents had already dispersed, leaving only one air current to defend. Everyone hoped that Lu Yin would be able to force Shang Qing's third ancestral qi out, and they were all curious as to who it would take.
In the distance, Wang Yi saw Lu Yin's Seventh Brother and frowned. It looked very familiar.
Wu Taibai also saw it, and he stared at Lu Yin's Seventh Brother.
The finger tore through the void and descended behind Shang Qing. Shang Qing raised his hand and struck out with a palm. Secret Technique: Expel.
Lu Yin's body flew backwards, and he was thrown out uncontrollably in the direction of the Xia family's Progenitor Chen. Behind him, a blade descended.
