Mu Shang's eyes narrowed, and his smile faded. "You're still far from being able to challenge me as a Jieyuan Formation Master. Go back and cultivate. The Lu family will pay the price for their arrogance, and so will you."
In the Ruler's Realm, Bai Chi heaved a sigh of relief.
Wang Fan praised, "As expected of the youngest Origin Heavenly Master in history. Even though it seems like they're evenly matched, it's actually just an illusion for Lu Xiaoxuan."
Xia Shenji said, "Does he really think that he's invincible in the universe just because he made an agreement? He's still far from that. It's time to pay the price."
The Dragon Ancestor looked down. "Yes, it's time to pay the price."
At the back of the battlefield, Bai Hong was pleased. "See, I was right. Heavenly Master Mu didn't sweat at all, and he was just guiding the younger generation. It's a pity that Lu Xiaoxuan was too arrogant, and Heavenly Master Mu couldn't stand it, so he taught him a lesson. Let me tell you, an Origin Heavenly Master is not someone a Jieyuan Formation Master can challenge. Remember this."
He spoke proudly, but it couldn't hide the fact that Mu Shang was in a worse state than Lu Yin. Still, the result was the result.
Everyone watched as the game came to an end.
Lu Yin let out a long breath. "There's something I'm curious about."
Mu Shang met Lu Yin's gaze. "You want to stall for time?
It's no use. I can end this game in an instant. Stalling for time is pointless. "
Lu Yin replied, "I know, I just want to ask. You don't just dislike the Lu family, right?"
Mu Shang's eyes flashed.
"I don't know why, but I've always hated you since the first time I saw you." Lu Yin's expression darkened as he stared at Mu Shang. "It's like I've seen something that pisses me off. Did something happen between us in the past?"
Mu Shang's eyes widened, the depths of his eyes turning cold.
"Don't you think that defeating me after I recover my memories would satisfy you more?"
Lu Yin asked.
Mu Shang's expression darkened. "I want to, but unfortunately, you haven't recovered your memories."
"Did I do something to you?"
Lu Yin asked loudly.
Mu Shang angrily shouted, "Repent on your own after you regain your memories!" Just as he was about to erase all of the white star energy, Lu Yin suddenly raised a hand. A gust of wind swept past and moved an inconspicuous sourcebox in the corner.
The sourcebox's danger zone was very inconspicuous, and no one had touched it since the beginning. However, when Lu Yin's gale struck it, all of the white star energy surrounding the sourcebox's danger zone suddenly scattered in all directions. Even though most of the white star energy had been wiped out, there was still a portion of it left behind.
Mu Shang was shocked. Impossible.
Lu Yin's eyes were cold, and he controlled the Ferocious Tiger sourcebox to charge towards Mu Shang, wiping out all of the black star energy along the way. Finally, he arrived in front of Mu Shang and viciously slammed into him.
Mu Shang couldn't react in time and was struck by the tiger sourcebox's danger zone. At that moment, the tiger sourcebox's danger zone collapsed and transformed into countless sourceboxes that bombarded the area. Most of them landed on Mu Shang's body and blasted him out of the gaming space. Mu Shang spat out a mouthful of blood as his body crashed into the ground.
Divine Master Gu Yan moved to separate the eight Boundless Advanced sourceboxes, and his speed shocked Lu Yin. Lu Yin was just about to separate the sourceboxes and dispel the danger zone, but Divine Master Gu Yan had already completed his task.
At that moment, Lu Yin was shocked by Divine Master Gu Yan's ability.
If Lu Yin could compete with Mu Shang and Qiuling, then Divine Master Gu Yan's performance was something that Lu Yin couldn't compare to.
It was incomparable.
Lu Yin looked at Divine Master Gu Yan, and after Divine Master Gu Yan had separated the sourceboxes, he turned back to look at Lu Yin. His expression was no longer calm, but rather one of excitement and bewilderment. "How did you find that danger zone?"
Mu Shang had been defeated, and no one had expected this.
Lockbreaking and cultivation were two completely different concepts. Before this, no matter how strong Lu Yin was in terms of cultivation or battle prowess, he would never be able to affect his position as an Origin Celestial Master.
Even if Lu Yin had surpassed Xia Shenji and Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, that only represented his battle prowess and not his lockbreaking ability.
Now, however, everyone stared blankly at Mu Shang's figure as he spat out a mouthful of blood. A Realyuan Formation Master had defeated an Origin Celestial Master, creating history.
Divine Master Gu Yan had once played against an Origin Celestial Master as a Realyuan Formation Master, but it had only ended in a draw. That was enough to establish his foundation as the number one Origin Celestial Master in the Astral Tree Galaxy. Now, Lu Yin had defeated an Origin Celestial Master. What did this mean?
Everyone else saw that a Realyuan Formation Master had defeated an Origin Celestial Master, but Divine Master Qiuling was even more shocked. Even though she did not know about the sourcebox array that Divine Master Gu Yan had created specifically to stabilize the square game, as he had not needed to use it when playing against her, she had still heard of it. She had even heard of it by chance that Mu Shang had learned it.
When she had played against Mu Shang, she had wanted to see the power of that sourcebox array, but she had been forced to stop because of an accident. This time, she had seen it for herself. That sourcebox array had instantly won the game, and it could easily end the game as easily as grabbing an enemy by the neck. Even so, Mu Shang had still lost.
Lu Xiaoxuan had actually found a flaw in that sourcebox array?
She stared at Lu Yin. How had he done it?
This was something that Divine Master Gu Yan could not understand as well. He stared at Lu Yin. "How did you find that danger zone?"
How had he found it?
Lu Yin looked at the heavily injured Mu Shang lying on the ground, and then at Divine Master Gu Yan, who was acting strangely. "I found it just like that."
Divine Master Gu Yan stepped in front of Lu Yin, and under Lu Yin's vigilant gaze, he excitedly said, "That's impossible. Even an Origin Celestial Master would not be able to find that danger zone in a single game, let alone a Realyuan Formation Master like you. You know about this sourcebox array, right?
You learned it before. "
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Why do you say that?"
"Because I was the one who created this sourcebox array," Divine Master Gu Yan said slowly.
Lu Yin was stunned. "You created it?
Then what's your relationship with Gu Yue? "
The reason he had been able to find that danger zone was because of Gu Yue's letter.
Gu Yue was a powerhouse who had been buried on Shenwu Continent. He had a power level of over a million, and he was also a Lockbreaker. He had created the five sealing planets to protect Shenwu Continent, making it very difficult for outsiders to find the continent. Even if they did, they would have to break through the five sealing planets to be able to affect it.
However, because too much time had passed, or perhaps because Gu Yue himself did not want to seal off Shenwu Continent, the five sealing planets were not that powerful.
Even so, those five enormous sourceboxes had still shocked Lu Yin. At the time, he had not understood who could use such enormous sourceboxes to set up an array, but now he understood. Gu Yue had to be a Realyuan Formation Master or even an Origin Celestial Master.
If Gu Yue was an Origin Celestial Master, then he would be the same as Mu Shang, a genius who had yet to reach the peak of Envoys or even Half-Ancestors. However, Gu Yue was probably much older than Mu Shang.
Lu Yin had always relied on Gu Yue's letter when it came to lockbreaking, but the moment Mu Shang activated that sourcebox array, he suddenly remembered that Gu Yue's sourcebox array had been incomplete.
Then, he recalled that Gu Yue's notes had also contained information about this sourcebox array, but it had been rather incomplete. Thus, he had purposely conversed with Mu Shang and tried to recall and use his experience to search for the only flaw that could affect this sourcebox array.
If he had not seen this sourcebox array in Gu Yue's letter, then he definitely would not have been able to find it and would have lost without a doubt.
He had thought that many people knew how to set up this sourcebox array, but based on Divine Master Gu Yan's attitude, there might not be many who knew.
Gu Yan became even more excited when he heard Gu Yue's name. "Where is Gu Yue?
He's my disciple. "
Lu Yin stared blankly at Gu Yan. One was Gu Yan, and the other was Gu Yue. "He died a long time ago and was buried on the Fifth Mainland."
Gu Yan's body swayed. He had always acted like a money-grubber and an eccentric person, but at this moment, he was like an old man who had lost a loved one.
Xiao Cui hurried over to support him.
Gu Yan's expression was sorrowful. "I guessed it. If he wasn't dead, then why didn't he come to see me? He really did die."
Lu Yin sighed. "Senior, my condolences." He then took out Gu Yue's letter and handed it to Gu Yan.
Gu Yan stared blankly at Gu Yue's letter before taking it and flipping through it with trembling hands.
Gu Yue's letter was incomplete, and Lu Yin had not read it ever since he had become a Realm Origin Celestial Master. However, he had already memorized the contents, so there was no need for him to keep it. He could give it to Gu Yan.
He did not suspect that Gu Yan was lying to him. Gu Yue was a powerhouse who had died a long time ago, so why would the number one Origin Celestial Master of the Cosmic Trees lie to him?
Besides, there was nothing in Gu Yue's letter that was worth paying attention to.
At this time, many people gathered around Mu Shang. Some helped him up, but his injuries were so severe that he kept coughing up blood.
Everyone watched in silence, their gazes filled with confusion and confusion. How had a Realm Origin Celestial Master defeated an Origin Celestial Master?
It was impossible.
Xia Ziheng clenched his fists. He had done it again, one miracle after another. From fighting his way out of the Divine Martial Heaven, escaping the pursuit of Ancestor Shen Ji, stopping two Progenitor level experts in the abandoned land, and using some unknown method to reach an agreement with the Four Cardinal Scales, each and every one of them was filled with inconceivable wonder. They were all miracles, and he had done them all.
This kid was like the Fifth Mainland's most dazzling star. His birth was supposed to create miracles. Was the Lu family destined to rule the Fifth Mainland?
Even Kui Luo fell silent. He had guessed that Lu Yin would win, as he never did anything he was not confident in. But now that he had actually won, he could not believe it.
No one else had heard the conversation between Lu Yin and Celestial Master Gu Yan, or else they would not have been so surprised.
If not for Mu Shang's hidden corner sourcebox array and Lu Yin's coincidental guess, the final result would not have been certain.
Lu Yin had not been confident that he would be able to seize control of the tiger sourcebox, so he could only say that this was fate.
Mu Shang stared at Lu Yin in disbelief, as he could not understand how he had lost. Could this person's innate gift have reached the level where he could see through sourcebox arrays with a single glance?
That was impossible. If that was the case, then Mu Shang would have lost long ago.
In the Sovereign Realm, Bai Wangyuan and the others were silent. Mu Shang had lost.
He had lost. Bai Wangyuan realized that he was not too surprised. Was it because this kid had created too many miracles?
The Fog Ancestor looked down with bright eyes. She seemed to see Huiwen's shadow in Lu Yin.
