He Luo Mavis replied coldly, "Then let's count it as five moves. Including the first punch, I used six moves, and you only used one."
"What if he can't stand up?"
Chu Yuan asked.
He Luo Mavis replied indifferently, "If he can force me back with one palm, then he can stand up, but he won't have the strength to retaliate after that. After I defeat you, I'll give him four more moves. If I say ten moves, then I'll give him ten moves. Not one more, not one less."
"So, it's our battle next?"
Chu Yuan smiled.
He Luo Mavis raised a brow, "Are you afraid?"
Chu Yuan's lips curled up, "Are you sure those five punches hit him?"
He Luo Mavis was stunned and subconsciously looked down.
He was no longer there, having used a teleportation array to dodge at the critical moment.
"How could that be?"
He Luo Mavis was shocked and looked into the distance. Lu Yin patted the dust off his clothes.
He Luo Mavis was patting his clothes, but he moved his arms and said, "Is it strange?
Those five punches didn't hit me, they hit him. "
He Luo Mavis looked at Chu Yuan, "You interfered. That was Formless."
Chu Yuan smiled, "I also said that I had to defeat him in five moves. I couldn't have let you break it, but …" He paused and looked at Lu Yin, "I didn't think that you would be able to dodge it yourself. A sourcebox array, huh? Not bad."
He Luo Mavis's eyes trembled. This Lu family descendant had used a sourcebox array to escape, but Chu Yuan had used Formless to replace him. The two had unintentionally worked together to deceive her.
"Don't forget, you still have four moves left, and so do I." Chu Yuan's index finger shattered the tree branch.
He Luo Mavis snorted, "Four moves is enough."
Lu Yin laughed and rubbed his wrist. "I've seen countless people throughout my cultivation, but few are as arrogant as you guys. Four moves, right? Fine, I'll use four moves as well. Let's see if I can make you guys lie on the ground."
Chu Yuan smiled, "Your era hasn't improved at all. You're still using the power of our era, and we're already standing at the peak of our era. How can you win?"
Lu Yin solemnly replied, "Are you proud of your era?
You're looking down on our era? Fine, I'll use the power created by the heroes of our era to deal with you. "After saying that, his body withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was the Withering Ancestor's Battle Technique — When Things Reach an Extreme, They Will Move in the Opposite.
Chu Yuan and He Luo Mavis watched in amazement. What kind of battle technique was this?
Lu Yin quickly shriveled up like a corpse, and he pressed down with his hand. 80,000 stars suddenly appeared and circled around him, turning the area into a universe.
He Luo Mavis snorted. "What a mess." Her eyes flashed green as she used her innate gift — Vitality's Rhythm. She stared at Lu Yin in a futile attempt to influence him, but it was to no avail. Lu Yin stood firmly in his original position, though his body had suddenly recovered a little.
Lu Yin stared at He Luo Mavis; her innate gift was different from Heaven's Emergence, and it had directly affected him.
He Luo Mavis was extremely shocked. How could it be that it was useless?
Chu Yuan waved his hand and grabbed at the surrounding stars. Suddenly, all of the stars converged, as if the entire universe had shrunk. Lu Yin instantly appeared in front of Chu Yuan and used Sirius's Palm to summon the stars.
Chu Yuan's gaze turned cold, and he retreated until he was less than a meter away from Sirius's palm. However, Sirius's palm could not get any closer, and Chu Yuan could not dodge any further.
Lu Yin's eyes widened when he saw that Chu Yuan's body was covered in a layer of formless energy. This was Formless and Formless, and the stars that came into contact with Chu Yuan's body would immediately circulate. It was no wonder why Chu Yuan was able to nullify all battle techniques.
Since that was the case, Lu Yin retracted his palm and the stars reappeared. He Luo Mavis punched out from beside him, and at the same time, the surrounding void began to burn. This was Sengoku.
This was the first time Lu Yin had seen such a young person use Sengoku, and it was incomparably tyrannical. Even Lu Yin himself was afraid of that one punch. When he had faced Sengoku's fist during his Origin Tribulation, he had used his Acalanatha Elephant to forcefully receive it. He could still do the same now, but the elephant belonged to the Lu family and was not something that had been created by the geniuses of this era.
If Lu Yin wanted to restore the name of this era, then he could not use the elephant to increase his strength. Thus, he might as well forcefully resist.
He Luo Mavis's fist landed on Lu Yin's chest, and at the same time, 80,000 stars converged into a sword. Sirius's sword technique swept out in all directions, including both He Luo Mavis and Chu Yuan. This was the Sword Sect's Fourteenth Sword.
Lu Yin did not know which era the Thirteenth Sword belonged to, but it should not have reached the Above Heaven Era. Even if it had, it should have been the Fourteenth Sword from Emperor Liu.
Chu Yuan attacked at the same time, using a strange method to tap Lu Yin's abdomen from afar. This finger seemed ordinary, but if the Sirius stars continued to revolve, they would discover that this finger had avoided all of the stars' revolutions, allowing Lu Yin to see through the movements of Sirius stars in the shortest time possible.
Lu Yin was punched in the chest by He Luo Mavis, but he did not dodge this time. He could not avoid it, and the punch sent him crashing into the ground. Chu Yuan's finger descended at the same time, landing on Lu Yin's body.
Lu Yin's Fourteenth Sword also landed on He Luo Mavis and Chu Yuan's bodies.
The Fourteenth Sword was very strange; it did not cause any external damage, but it destroyed everything from the inside. The Thirteenth Sword could be used as a sword as long as one had emotions, and the Fourteenth Sword was pain. It was the pain of Emperor Liu's imprisonment.
When the sword slashed down, it did not feel anything. He Luo Mavis and Chu Yuan looked at each other. Impossible! Even if this person was not their match, that sword should have done something.
The next moment, He Luo Mavis felt an intense pain in his body, as if he had been stabbed from the inside. He unconsciously coughed a few times, and Chu Yuan did the same.
The two looked at each other in shock, "An alternative way of the sword."
"I didn't think that there would be someone in this era who could comprehend this way of the sword. The way of the sword has not declined," Chu Yuan said in astonishment.
He Luo Mavis replied, "It's very difficult to be the first to comprehend this way of the sword, but once you do, countless people will follow suit. This is why the way of the sword has not declined, but very few people from the Lu family practice it."
Chu Yuan looked down, "He might not be able to stand up after taking our attacks."
He Luo Mavis was indifferent, "He's worthy of being a descendant of the Lu family if he can hurt us. I still have two moves left." She had used her innate gift of life and Sengoku's punch, which equaled two moves.
Chu Yuan's lips curled up; he had just attacked once, and had seen through the movements of Sirius' stars. "I still have three moves left."
"I also have two moves left." Lu Yin's voice came from underground, shocking both He Luo Mavis and Chu Yuan. How could he be fine?
Even further away, a group of cultivators from the Sixth Mainland looked on nervously. Lu Yin's battle had pushed them further and further away, and they could no longer see clearly. However, they could still vaguely make out that Lu Yin had been beaten into the ground again. Lu Yin was actually being suppressed like this.
Lu Yin stood up from underground and slowly floated to the surface.
He had used 'Things Develop in Their Opposite' to wither his body, but now that he had mostly recovered, he could at least recognize his appearance.
He Luo Mavis and Chu Yuan looked at him in confusion. What the hell?
If one did not learn that 'Things Develop in Their Opposite', they would never be able to understand the wonders of this technique.
As long as He Luo Mavis and Chu Yuan's attacks could not break through Lu Yin's limit, their attacks would only help him recover and become a source of strength that he could use. This was what 'Things Develop in Their Opposite' meant; Ancestor Ku had created this incomparably mysterious technique.
Who said that the era was waning? The Above Heaven Sect's era had been very powerful, with endless battle techniques and techniques. The path of cultivation had blossomed, and astral sources were not the only path. However, this era had also produced geniuses like the Symbol Progenitor, Progenitor Chen, and Ancestor Ku. Their strength had been dazzling even in the Above Heaven Sect's era.
Chu Yuan looked at Lu Yin in amazement. "What technique is this?
If I'm not wrong, you're using our strength to nourish yourself. "
Lu Yin grinned. "Smart. I don't mind telling you that if you want to beat me, you'll have to use attacks that exceed my limit. Otherwise, they'll only help me recover. Do you have that ability?"
Chu Yuan praised, "Good technique. Even our era didn't have this technique. Although the era is waning, there are still some geniuses. You're Lu Yin, right? I acknowledge you. If you can survive five moves from me, then you'll be the Dao Child of this era, standing shoulder to shoulder with us."
He Luo Mavis sighed, "Enough with the nonsense. What's so difficult about using attacks that exceed my limit?" She stared at Lu Yin, "Don't blame me if you die."
Lu Yin clenched his fists. "You don't have the ability to beat me." With that, his body withered once more. Things Develop in Their Opposite Direction again.
He Luo Mavis's expression changed, and a giant tree appeared behind her. Green spots continuously fused into her body, causing her aura to surge. Even though he couldn't see the rune lines, he could sense that the current He Luo Mavis was much stronger than before.
He was no stranger to this scene; it was similar to the Lu family's visualization technique. Back in the Sovereign Tournament, Luo Mavis had used it as well. He remembered that she had called it 'Limitless Strength.'
Crack!
The ground cracked open, and He Luo Mavis looked up at Lu Yin. She clenched her right fist, causing the void to tremble and ripple in all directions. Her strength had exceeded the limits of space, and even without attacking, it was enough to cause the void to explode.
What was even more exaggerated was that the void around her had been set ablaze. The Warring States Era had descended, and it was incredibly domineering.
As He Luo Mavis attacked, the void was pushed apart layer by layer, as if she was closing the distance between them.
This punch was incredibly powerful; it contained both the Mavis Family's Limitless Strength and battle force. Even a cultivator with four Origin Tribulations might not be able to withstand it.
Lu Yin's clenched fist opened up, and he sent a palm towards He Luo Mavis. It was still the Clear Sky Palm, and there was nothing special about it.
The Clear Sky Palm had been powerful enough to force back the previous He Luo Mavis, but the current He Luo Mavis couldn't even touch her before she shattered it with a single punch. Then, a tyrannical punch landed on Lu Yin's body.
He Luo Mavis had thought that this punch would be enough to send Lu Yin flying, and that it had exceeded his limits. However, Lu Yin stood in place without moving, and only his withered body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When things reached an extreme, they would move in the opposite direction. As long as it didn't exceed the body's limits, he would be able to withstand it. But what was the limit of Lu Yin's body?
Even he didn't know.
